Jiang Wang

"Be careful on the road." Hearing that he agreed, Uncle Li couldn't say anything more, so he told him worriedly, and then returned to the house step by step.

As soon as he returned to the house, he met Wang Yunlian with a mournful face.Frowning, he took a step back.

Wang Yunlian noticed his small movements, curled her lips, and said in a sour tone,

"Yo, you're back."

"I didn't go out." He knew from her tone that she was going to be a monster again. Uncle Li frowned and said, bypassing her and looking at the food on the table. Touching the bowl of noodles, he took it back and said, "Didn't I tell you to heat up the rice because I was hungry? Why is the food still cold?"

"I can't listen to your words." Wang Yunlian grabbed a handful of melon seeds, threw them into her mouth and licked them well, then spat out the shells with a heavy sound, and said with a puckered mouth. "Didn't you say that to drive me away? If I don't believe you, I definitely can't go to the hot meal."

"Speaking of this," Wang Yunlian changed her voice and threw a few more melon seeds into her mouth. After nibbling, she threw the melon seeds, walked into Uncle Li and said, "Old Li, you just sent me away because you wanted to talk to me. What did Tiezi say? Is there anything I can’t listen to?”

"I didn't say anything, I just chattered about his father."

"You are talking to me. I can't listen to his dad? You must be talking about something else. And that thing may have happened when you went to Jiang Wang's house tonight." Wang Yunlian's mind was spinning very fast. , Guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight.Uncle Li frowned deeply upon hearing this.After a long silence, he said, "No, don't guess."

"You know if I guessed randomly." Wang Yunlian looked at him contemptuously, clapped her hands and said, "Old Li, it's useless for you to dismiss me and not tell me. I will know everything about this village. , If you don’t tell me, I will know sooner or later.”

"Now I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about it with you. I'm going to heat up the meal." Wang Yunlian turned around as she spoke, picked up a plate of dishes and suddenly turned back to say. "By the way, Lao Li, the person who gave you food today has to thank him very much. There are several big red coins in it."

"Where is it?" Uncle Li approached her abruptly upon hearing this.

"Here." Wang Yunlian patted her pocket, and she knew what Uncle Li was up to when she saw his appearance. She turned around and walked to the kitchen, saying as she walked, "Old Li, don't you want to take this money from me." Go back. Although I don’t know why someone else gave you the money, but no matter why, the money is in my pocket and it’s mine. No one can take it.”

"You, when you are greedy for money, you shouldn't, and you can't ask for it..." Uncle Li retorted and wanted to go forward to get the money back, but Wang Yunlian closed the kitchen door first.He stood by the door for a long time, and could only pat his legs helplessly.

"It's a crime." Uncle Li sighed.

"Clanging in the waves, this beautiful woman is really happy in her heart." Just after dawn, Wang Yunlian's happy singing came from a distance at the village's water fetching place.

A few women chatting around were discussing, and then saw Wang Yunlian approaching.

Seeing her approaching, a woman opened her mouth.

"Hey, Aunt Wang, she hummed the song early this morning. She seems to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?"

"That's right." When Wang Yunlian heard what she said, she stopped filling the water, put the bucket aside, found a bench to make it, and said triumphantly, "I got rich last night."

"Yo, how did you send it?" The yellow-haired woman next to the woman who spoke was excited and asked.

"I don't know. My old Li didn't tell me where or how he posted it." Wang Yunlian said truthfully.

When the other women heard this, they didn't believe it. They thought that Wang Yunlian had a way to get rich and didn't want to share it, so they all gave a scornful cut.

Wang Yunlian did not explain when she saw this, she just pretended not to see their gestures, and just continued her own words, "Speaking of this, I have something to ask my aunts."

Speaking of which, Wang Yunlian looked around and saw that there was no sign of Uncle Li, so she said in a low voice, "Do you know what happened when my old Li went to Jiang's house yesterday?"

"I don't know." A group of women looked at each other when they heard the words, "Why do you ask such a question? Has something happened to the Jiang family?"

"I don't know," Wang Yunlian said, "but my intuition tells me that something must have happened to Jiang Wang's house. Because yesterday Tiezi went to my house to ask my old Li about going to Jiang Wang's house to connect the wires. My old Li said something happened. It didn’t work. When Tie Zi asked him what happened, he avoided me.”

"Normally he won't avoid me."

"Really? But I haven't heard anyone say something happened to Jiang Wang's family." A woman was thoughtful.

"Who can tell, Jiang Wang lives in such a remote place, if something happens, no one will see it." Another woman spoke up.

"Whoever said that, I saw it." At this time, Zhang Luzheng, who had always been dressed casually in the village, came over and said.

"Really?" Wang Yunlian's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she quickly got up and grabbed Zhang Luzheng's clothes and said, "What did you see? Something really happened to Jiang Wang's house yesterday."

"Yeah." Zhang Luzheng nodded, originally planned to say that, but couldn't get the words out of his throat, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he turned to smoking in the middle of his sentence, Wang Yunlian almost couldn't breathe, stroked his chest and continued to ask.

"Jiang Wang," Zhang Luzheng exhaled after taking a puff of cigarette, thinking about the bloody scene he saw at Jiang Wang's house yesterday when he was planning to go to Jiang Wang to ask his father for his debts to block his mother-in-law's mouth. Said in a tone, "Suicide."

"What! Why is this kid so overwhelmed?"

"Yeah, alas, it's hard to survive."

"It's so miserable. How can he do it?"

When the wives heard that the pot exploded, Wang Yunlian was really shocked, and it took a long time to react before asking, "Why is he?"

"I don't know." Zhang Luzheng sighed, thinking about the current situation where his mother-in-law asks for exorbitant gifts every day, and said with empathy, "Maybe, I feel that life is too hard."

"Maybe, that child, alas, life is really too hard." Wang Yunlian echoed.After he was silent for a while, he asked again, "How is Jiang Wang doing now?"

"Alive or not?" Wang Yunlian couldn't utter the word.She loves to gossip but she finds that word too difficult to say.

"I don't know. After I saw it yesterday," Zhang Luzheng squeezed the cigarette he hadn't smoked for a long time guiltily, "I was afraid that others would misunderstand me, so I ran away. When I went back, he had already been taken away by your old Li. I don't know what he's like now."

"Hey, Sister Wang, why don't you go back and ask your old Li for a while, otherwise I will always have trouble sleeping and eating." Zhang Luzheng said.

"Okay." Wang Yunlian agreed, and then she didn't have the mood to chatter anymore, and rushed home after fetching a bucket of water.Because of the haste, half of the water was sprinkled on the road.
