Hua Daniu used to have a daughter-in-law, and he also started beating him. The other party wanted to hide from her parents' home, but her parents wouldn't let her. She would be laughed at when she went back to her parents' home, but she didn't think that something happened. He committed suicide by drinking pesticides. Since then, everyone who knew Hua Daniu in Shili Baxiang would not dare to marry his daughter to him, even if he paid a lot of money for employment. They all said that he killed his daughter-in-law.

Xu Niannian was bought at this time. When she first came, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. In less than seven or eight years, she had grown old like a middle-aged woman and had not given birth to a single child. The child made her life more difficult.

She had no choice but to find a way to save herself. Every woman in trouble more or less longs for a man who can save her from the sea of ​​misery, and she hoped so at the beginning, so after being beaten once, When she met a man who comforted her with sweet words, and who was unmarried, she was easily moved.

She hoped that a man could take her out of the sea of ​​misery, but after a long time, she realized that the other party just wanted her body. Later, she tried to find other unmarried men, but the result was the same. When facing Hua Daniu, they were all cowards. Those lovers who were always in the world, when she was beaten, didn't have a single one. People have stood up, even if they just said a word to her.

The few men she worked so hard to manage are not even as good as these children in the village who she can't even name. It's really sad and ridiculous.

She carefully hid the rest of the food in her arms and waited quietly for the dark. When she was about to lose sight of the road, she stood up and walked straight to a certain house in the village without shouting. He hid in the corner and stood at the door of someone's house and waited. After watching the person who was waiting to come out, he called the person over in a low voice.

Unfortunately, he was seen by the mother of the family, and he was about to take a broom and chase him away. Xu Niannian was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "You can beat me, beat me away, anyway, I am also a dead, and I am also dead. If you want to pull your son into the water, I will go to Hua Daniel and say that your son is my adulterer, and you will see if he will kill your son."

The woman glared at her angrily, but knew that she was telling the truth, and finally had to accept her fate and went out to look at her neighbors. Seeing that no one was there, she pulled him in and asked in a low voice: " What exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Niannian replied: "Of course I don't want to do anything, I just want to live a good life, so even if I was almost beaten to death today, I didn't give out the name of your good son, Auntie, you won't reject me, right?"

Then she asked for 20 catties of grain, a pot, a sickle, and two flints, and promised that she would not come to trouble after she gave her something. When the woman heard it, she scolded her for selling it. Is it right?

After hearing this, she turned around with a blank face and planned to leave. The family was afraid that she would find Hua Daniu, so they hurriedly pulled him back, and then rummaged through the boxes at home to find what she wanted for her according to her request. Looking at her crampedly from the side, she still had no expression on her face, and she didn't even give people one more look.

After waiting for a while, everything she wanted was packed in a sack and handed to her. She took the things and said at the same time, "Even if these are bought out of our relationship, I will not know your family in the future, and never again. I will come to trouble your family, don't worry about that."

After she finished speaking, she left. The woman in that house probably thought she was pitiful, and suddenly stopped her, then ran back to the house, took out a quilt that looked worn for a long time, and handed it to her: "This is my thanks for not saying my son's name today, and I hope that after taking it, you will never have anything to do with my son again. He is someone who wants to marry."

Xu Niannian didn't feel any surprise. He took the things and swore a poisonous oath: "If I break my promise, I will be slashed by thousands of knives and thunder, and I won't die."

After she turned and left, the woman took her son back and taught her a lesson, probably scolding her a lot, but she couldn't hear it and didn't care.

Carrying a bag of things, she returned to the entrance of the village. Following the memory of the day, she carried the things and got into the haystack that was not far away, wrapped in the quilt, and slept like this. for one night.

The next day, the villagers saw that Xu Niannian was carrying a bag of food he did not know where he got it near the village, and it seemed that he was planning to find a place to settle down.

But as soon as the women in the village saw her appearing near their house, they were afraid that she would seduce their men, as fierce as an old hen, so they just shrugged and pecked people.

Xu Niannian wanted to be driven away like a street rat, and no one would let her get close to her house. If a child spoke to her out of sympathy, it would have the opposite effect, and Xu Niannian became even more provocative. people suspect.

One morning, she couldn't find a place to settle down near the village, and she didn't say anything, just silently carried her things and left the village.

It is close to the deep mountains, and there are many wild beasts on the mountain that come to the village at night. She dare not live alone in a place where no one is there, but the villagers can't tolerate her, so she can only go to other places.

When Qu Qing came home for lunch at noon, he heard the sound of bamboo being cut in the distance. Zhao Orion went hunting, and Hua Zizhou was at home. It was impossible for two children to do such a thing. People will come, so who is chopping the bamboo here?

Before the meal, he went over to look curiously and found that the person turned out to be Xu Niannian.

He glanced at it and understood that she found four similar trees, used bamboo strips to make walls, and built a house here. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a house. where even the wind can't stop it.

Bamboo strips are difficult to handle and can easily hurt people. He saw that this woman already had several holes in her hands. It was really pitiful. He wanted to help, but the other party refused without hesitation. .

Seeing her like this, Qu Qing didn't say anything more. After returning home, he asked Jiang Zhu to take an axe to lend her. An axe is always easier to handle bamboo than a dull sickle, but he never heard her refuse again. , and the axe also automatically returned to the door of his house afterwards.

No one thought that Xu Niannian would actually settle down near Qu Qing's house like this, but the villagers didn't say anything gossip. After all, Xu Niannian's appearance is completely incomparable to the current Hua Zizhou. Moreover, his family is living a peaceful and beautiful life now. If there is anything, everyone believes that Hua Zizhou's temperament will never tolerate that woman.

Hua Zizhou's mother also visited his house once during this period, and told Hua Zizhou to be careful of this woman, and even made suggestions for Hua Zizhou to drive this woman away, Hua Zizhou said: "She looks quite honest, and my family The gentleman has a good heart and can't do such a thing to drive her away. Forget it now, mother, don't worry, if she is really ungrateful and dares to do anything wrong to my husband, I will not let her go first. , I'm not a vegetarian."

After waiting for several days, when Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou were walking by, they saw that Xu Niannian's place had barely looked like it. She cleverly used mud and stones to paste another layer on the outside of the bamboo wall. Later, she built a roof for herself with the thatch she made, and a small field was dug outside the yard, and she was working diligently in the field, and she didn't know where she got the seeds. There are also some daily necessities and food, but looking at her alone, she has truly lived her life.

It seems that she does have a way to survive on her own. After thinking about it, Qu Qing still admires this woman a bit. She feels that if she has nothing to survive in this place, she may not be able to do better than her.

Later, Qu Qing occasionally communicated with the parents of the students, and heard that Xu Niannian would occasionally go to other villages to find work. Sometimes, as long as she was willing to give her half the money of others, she would do any hard work, even men's work. But I haven't heard any gossip about her. She lives a very low-key life and dresses very simply. Her face has changed a lot, but her spirit looks much better. No one said that she lived by selling. of.

Although they lived close to her, they hardly had any communication. Xu Niannian would never come to his house on weekdays. Most of her things were told by others.

Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou always talk at night before going to bed. That night, when the two talked about Xu Niannian, Hua Zizhou suddenly said: "Actually, I admire him a lot, a woman can survive on her own. When the cat is desperate, I can't think of anything but death."

Qu Qing smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was there in time, otherwise... But didn't you hate her a few days ago, saying that she came from nothing to live on."

Hua Zizhou turned to face him and said seriously: "I still doubt this, but I found that she seems to like children very much. During the discussion in class, I found that several of the children were pulled by her and gave candy. Jiang Zhu And the cat also has it, which reminds me that Hua Daniel always scolds her for the hen that can't lay eggs before, she probably treats those children as her own."

"Stupid, I bought you a few candies. What if she wants to abduct and sell children? It's essential to be on guard against others."

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing very strangely: "Didn't you help her talk a few days ago, why did you suddenly turn around today?"

"Of course it's because... I'm happy."

Hua Zizhou's eyes lit up: "Sir, are you jealous?"

"Nonsense, am I such a stingy person?"

"Oh..." Hua Zizhou also thought that he was thinking too much. Who would be jealous of such a small thing.

However, after chatting with the students later, Qu Qing found that Xu Niannian was really good to the children in the village. Whenever the children in the village asked her for help, she would hardly refuse, and most welcome the children to go there. Find her to play, every time the children go, she will try to entertain the children with delicious food. Although she has nothing to eat, she can give the children what she is reluctant to eat.

Originally, Jiang Orion firmly hated this woman, and even told Jiang Zhu not to go to her, but one time Jiang Zhu went to the mountain to play, and he slashed his foot and injured his bone. The cat ran back in a hurry and passed Xu Niannian's door crying. When Xu Niannian found out, she followed the cat to find Jiang Zhu. At that time, she found branches and blades of grass to fix Jiang Zhu's bones, and then carried them back all the way.

Dr. Dong said that Jiang Zhu's foot was fixed well, but luckily he had dealt with it in time, otherwise he would most likely be left with sequelae, that is, lameness. Since then, Jiang Orion's impression of Xu Niannian has changed.

For Xu Niannian, it would be more difficult to open up one or two acres of wild land to farm, occasionally help others to do something to make a living or make one or two money, and play with the children in the village in her spare time. Growing food, this day can be regarded as a safe and stable life, but unfortunately things are impermanent.

Just when the grain in her field had grown into tender shoots, Hua Daniu found out that she was still in this village, and even set up a home near Qu Qing's house, and she was furious. He took the **** and went aggressively, and followed a lot of good things to see it. When he came back, he said, "This flower is really ruthless. It directly destroyed all the crops in other people's fields, and smashed the house in a mess.

At that time, Qu Qing and most of the children in the village were in class, so they didn't know what happened. Xu Niannian, who was sitting at the door of his house, couldn't even cry.

"Poor." Someone who was watching said that, shook his head and walked away.

Instead, a few children who played with her quietly on weekdays stood in front of her, looking at her at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

"It's alright." Xu Niannian tried to comfort the children with a smile on his face. Behind him was a home that was so tattered that it could no longer be called home.

Soon the children were scolded and dragged home by their respective mothers, who were afraid of getting into any trouble.

nothing.

Xu Niannian sat on the ground and buried his face in his knees, but he didn't have much expectations for the world.

She still can't escape...
