Because there is already a long-term bedridden patient in the family, the family has relatively loose supervision of Xiao Honglian, and they don't want her to be like that.
During the day, Xiao Honglian sometimes helps her sister Wu Bingbing hold the child, and sometimes helps with chores. Occasionally, the one-eyed mother-in-law and her brother-in-law, Maotou, would accompany her for a walk.
It turned out that Maotou had hyperthyroidism - commonly known as big neck disease, his hands trembled all the time, and he couldn't do heavy work. So I just do some light work, and when I have time, I am obliged to monitor Xiao Honglian.
Maotou said: He didn't want to spy on her, and he also knew that this kind of buying and selling marriage was wrong, but buying her cost all their family's belongings, and she couldn't just run away like this.
Xiao Honglian learned that Shancun treats the bought daughter-in-law like this. If outsiders come to inquire, they have to hide it. If they are rescued by the police, it will be over. Thousands of dollars are in vain. But women are more relaxed when they have children¡ªmaybe because many women give up when they have children. At least I can't let go of the child.
Sometimes she also asks Maotou some light-hearted questions. For example: After studying for a few years, why didn't you stop studying? Which province and county does this belong to? Do you know the world beyond the mountains?
The time with my brother-in-law Maotou is better, but with the one-eyed woman, it can only be boring. Because that woman can't even understand Mandarin, let alone Mandarin.
At first, Xiao Honglian was still afraid of the night coming, afraid that her second child, Hailin, would suddenly attack her and recklessly take her by force. But after a long time, seeing that Hai Lin endured the impulse even if he had the urge, and did not overdo it except hugging her and kissing her occasionally, she gradually felt relieved.
However, she heard from Wu Bingbing that her man used to torment her every night, sometimes two or three times a night, and she was in terribly painful pain. Always thinking about finding a chance to run away or commit suicide, but there is no possibility at all.
In contrast, Xiao Honglian felt that she was lucky to have met a kind and honest man. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to find a way to escape.
Xiao Honglian has seen the woman who was caught by Murakami after running away. Not only was he beaten all over his body, but he was also tied up with ropes and chains like an animal every day, making it difficult to walk even if he went out.
What's more, the mountain is so deep, if she falls into another poorer and more savage family to be a woman, it will be miserable. Therefore, even though Xiao Honglian felt very uncomfortable with the life here and was very homesick for her mother, she did not dare to run around at will.
She really wanted to encourage Maotou to go out with her to work along the coast, but she knew that this was not going to work as soon as she tried it. He is still taking herbal medicine for his illness.
Maotou listened to Xiao Honglian's description of the colorful world outside, but he wanted to recover from his illness and go out to work, and then rely on his own ability to marry a wife.
? It rained for many days, causing flash floods. When the rain cleared, Xiao Honglian went to wash clothes in the mountain stream, but accidentally dropped the soap into the mountain stream. Maotou, who was accompanying her, rolled up his trousers and went into the water to help her find it. Feeling left and right, Soap couldn't find a ring like white jade.
Xiao Honglian asked him to bring it to herself. After washing off the mud, she felt that it was a bit like an ancient jade pendant. Said that it looks good to wear with a piece of red wool on the chest.
Maotou thought it was just a beautiful smooth stone, so he smiled and said, "Then I will put it on for you." After speaking, he continued to touch the soap.
After washing the clothes and going back, Xiao Honglian had just dried two pieces of clothes when she saw her mother-in-law panickedly calling Maotou to go into the room and carrying Wu Bingbing to see the doctor.
What's the matter, sister? Xiao Honglian also hurried in. But Wu Bingbing's face was pale, her lips were black, and she was in a coma. When Maotou carried her on his back, there was a lot of blood on the bed.
The mother-in-law quickly picked up the quilt and wrapped it around Wu Bingbing's body, and hurried out with Maotou. And told Xiao Honglian: "You take care of the baby. There is also lunch cooking on the stove, be careful not to burn it."
"Hmm." Xiao Honglian nodded hastily.
It never occurred to her that Wu Bingbing died in such a blood collapse on the way, and even the body was parked outside the village and was not allowed to be carried home.
The next day, he was put into a hastily nailed thin plank coffin and buried hastily. She hugged the four-month-old child on Wu Bingbing's grave and said with tears, "Sister, don't worry. I will definitely bring up the baby well!"
Time passed so monotonously and busy, and in the blink of an eye the Spring Festival came with the sound of firecrackers.
?From the second day of the Lunar New Year, the three brothers of the Lan family began to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings. Regardless of uncles, aunts, aunts, or sisters, the whole family left early and returned late, and walked across the mountains and mountains on foot.
The sixth day is the last day of New Year's greetings. I didn't expect that the three brothers who went to the sister's house next to the mountain town hadn't come back until dark. As time got later and later, Xiao Honglian and their parents were restless.
The old couple first went to the entrance of the village to look around, but after the crescent moon set, they had to come back exhausted. In the middle of the night, I saw Maotou running back in shock and panting.
At the same time, he brought a shocking news: on the way back, they were at the mouth of a cliff because they did not make way for another group of oncoming people, Hai Lin was thrown off the cliff and fell to his death!
At this moment, the whole family cried together and became a mess. And Xiao Honglian became a widow so inexplicably, she felt like a dream.
Since she is a bought daughter-in-law and there are two bachelor sons in the family, it is impossible for the Lan family to make her really a widow.
The mother-in-law saw that she had a good relationship with her youngest son and was about the same age, so she wanted to transfer her to his youngest son Shanlin. But Dalin refused, and even sneaked into Xiaohonglian's room in the middle of the night, trying to preemptively cook the uncooked rice.
Thanks to Xiao Honglian, who just dreamed that Hailin came back with blood on his head, and woke up screaming, and attracted the whole family to escape.
For this reason, the father-in-law scolded Dalin for being inferior to animals, and the younger brother wanted to take his daughter-in-law before his bones were cold. And let the mother-in-law sleep with Xiaohonglian from now on, no matter who she is to be a daughter-in-law for, she has to wait until Hailin is full of "77".
?Because the baby has been having diarrhea after the new year, it is not getting better. The next day, the mother-in-law accompanied Xiao Honglian with the baby to the big village in the col to see the doctor.
Coming out of the doctor's house, Xiao Honglian accidentally saw the girl surnamed Yao who was finally sold together with her.
The girl's hair was disheveled, her face was pale, she was wearing a big worn cotton jacket, her belly was slightly protruding, she seemed to be pregnant. There was even a thick rope tied to her hand, and the other end was being pulled by a man in his forties. If she hadn't called out first, Xiao Honglian would hardly have recognized her.
The girl also came to see a doctor. She wept while talking and coughed badly.
The girl said that the man who led her was the man who bought her. This man can be her father! She didn't want to live anymore and committed suicide several times, so she was tied up. The girl wanted to say something, but was roughly dragged into the doctor's house by the man.
Xiao Honglian looked at the miserable girl, thinking of her sister Wu Bingbing and her misfortune, she couldn't help crying like rain: "Oh my God! Do you have eyes? Why do we poor girls suffer such misfortune? !¡± (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
