Hua Daniu used to have a daughter-in-law, and he also beat her with his hands. The other party wanted to hide back to her natal family, but her natal family refused to let her. Her daughter would be laughed at when she returned to her natal family, but she didn't expect that something like this would happen. He committed suicide by drinking pesticide. Since then, everyone who knew Hua Daniu from all over the world would not dare to marry his daughter to him even if he gave him a lot of hire money. They all said that he beat his wife to death.

Xu Niannian was bought at this time. When she first arrived, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. In less than seven or eight years, she was already as old as a middle-aged woman who had not given birth to a child. The kids made life harder for her.

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

She hoped that a man could take her out of the sea of ​​suffering, but after a long time she realized that the man only 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 usually talk sweetly, when she was beaten, none of them No one has ever stood up, even if it was just to speak up for her.

The few men she worked so hard to manage were not even as good as the children in the village whose names she couldn't even pronounce. It was really sad and ridiculous.

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

Unfortunately, the mother of that family saw her and was about to chase her away with a broom. Xu Niannian was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Hit me away, anyway, I am also dead, and I will die if I die." If I want to drag your son into the water, I will immediately go to Hua Daniu and tell him that your son is my adulterer, and see if he will kill your son."

The woman glared at her angrily, but knew she was telling the truth, so she had no choice but to admit her fate, went out to check the neighbors, saw no one, 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 confess the name of your good son, aunt, you will not reject me, right?"

Then she asked for twenty catties of grain, a pot, a sickle, and two flints, and promised that she would not come to trouble after she gave the things. of it?

After hearing this, she turned around blankly and planned to leave. The family was afraid that she would go to Hua Daniu, so they hurriedly pulled him back, and then searched through the boxes and boxes at home to find her what she wanted according to her requirements. Looking at her awkwardly from the side, her face was still expressionless, and she didn't even give anyone more eyes.

After waiting for a while, she put all the things she wanted in a sack and handed them to her. She took the things and said at the same time: "This is considered to have bought off our relationship. From now on, I will pretend that I don't know your family and never I will come to trouble your family, you can rest assured."

After she finished speaking, she left. The woman of that family probably thought she was pitiful, so she stopped her suddenly, then ran back to the house, took out a quilt that looked old for a long time, and handed it to her: "This is to see your 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 going to marry a wife."

Xu Niannian didn't think there was any surprise, took the things and swears very straightforwardly: "If I break my promise, I, Xu Niannian, will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death."

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

Carrying a bag of things, she returned to the entrance of the village again. Following the memory of the day, she carried the things into an unknown haystack not far away, wrapped in the quilt, and fell asleep like this. for one night.

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

But as long as the women in the village see her appearing near their homes, they are afraid that she will seduce their men, and they are as fierce as an old hen, and they only have to raise their feathers to peck people.

Xu Niannian was chased away like a mouse crossing the street, and no one would let her get close to her home. If there were children around her who spoke a few words for her out of sympathy, it would have the opposite effect, and Xu Niannian would become even more annoying. People hate.

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

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

When Qu Qing went home for lunch at noon, he heard the sound of cutting bamboo in the distance. Zhao Orion went hunting, and Hua Zizhou was at home. It is impossible for two children to do such things. There has never been anything around here. People will come, so who is cutting bamboo here?

Before his meal time, he went to look curiously, and found that the person was actually Xu Niannian.

After a second glance, he understood that she had found four similar trees, then used bamboo strips to make walls, and then built a house here. Where even the wind can't stop it.

Bamboo strips are not easy to handle, and they are easy to hurt. He saw that this woman had several cuts in her hands, and it was really pitiful. He wanted to help, but the other party refused without hesitation. She really has a very strong personality. .

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

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

Huazizhou's mother also visited his house once during this period, and told Huazizhou to be careful of this woman, and even advised Huazizhou to drive this woman away. Huazizhou said: "She looks quite honest, and my family My husband has a good heart, and I can't do such a thing as driving 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 be the first to let her go , I'm not a vegetarian."

After a few days, when Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou walked by, they saw that Xu Niannian's place was barely looking like it. She cleverly used soil and stones to paste another layer on the outside of the bamboo wall. Afterwards, she built a roof for herself with thatch that she made herself, and a small plot of land was dug outside the yard, and she bent over and worked diligently in the field, and she didn't know where she got the seeds from. There are still some daily necessities and food, but looking at her alone, she has indeed lived her own life.

It seems that she really has her own way to survive. Thinking about it, Qu Qing still admires this woman a little, and 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, and sometimes as long as she was willing to give her half of the other people's money, she would be willing to do any kind of 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 plainly. Her face has experienced a lot of vicissitudes, but her spirit looks much better. No one said that she survived by selling of.

Although they lived close to her, they had almost no communication. On weekdays, Xu Niannian would never come to his house at all. Most of her things were told by others.

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

Qu Qing smiled and said: "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise...but you still hated her a few days ago, saying that she got those things that can live on out of thin air."

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 dragged by her to give sugar, Jiang Zhu There are also cats, which reminds me that Hua Daniu always scolded her for being a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and she probably regarded those children as her own."

"Silly, I bought you with just a few candies. What if she wants to abduct and sell children? It is imperative to be on guard."

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing very strangely: "Didn't you help her speak a few days ago, why did you suddenly turn around again 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 felt that he probably thought too much, who would be jealous of such a trivial matter.

However, through chatting with the students later, Qu Qing found that Xu Niannian is a woman who is really good to the children in the village. Whenever the children in the village ask her for help, she will hardly refuse, and the children are most welcome. Looking for her to play, every time the children go, she will try her best to entertain the children with delicious food. Although she doesn't have any delicious food, she can give the children what she is reluctant to eat.

Jiang Orion originally hated this woman firmly, and even told Jiang Zhu not to go to her, but then one time Jiang Zhu went to play on the mountain, sprained his foot, and broke his bone. The cat ran back in a hurry, and passed by Xu Niannian's door crying. When Xu Niannian found out about it, she followed the cat to find Jiangzhu. At that time, she found branches and grass leaves to fix Jiangzhu's bones first, and then carried them all the way back.

Dr. Dong said that Jiang Zhu's foot was fixed well, and fortunately he took care of it in time, otherwise he would most likely have sequelae in the future, that is, lameness. Since then, Jiang Orion's impression of Xu Niannian has changed.

For Xu Niannian, it is difficult to open one or two acres of wild land to farm, occasionally help others to make a living or earn a couple of dollars, and play with the children in the village in his spare time. With food growing, this day can be regarded as going on in peace and stability, but it is a pity that things don't always go smoothly.

Just when the grain in her field had grown into tender shoots, Hua Daniu found out that she was still in this village, and had even settled down near Qu Qing's house. She was furious. Under the gaze of everyone in the village, He took the hoe and went aggressively, followed by seeing many good things, and when he came back, they all said, "This big bull is really ruthless. He 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. When her partner got out of school at night, when she heard the adults gossip, she immediately ran to her house. The children saw their faces turned ashen Xu Niannian, who was sitting at the door of his house, couldn't help but cry.

"Poor thing." Some of the onlookers said so, shook their heads and walked away.

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

"It's okay." Xu Niannian forced a smile on his face and tried to comfort the children. Behind him was a dilapidated home that could no longer be called home.

Soon the children were scolded and dragged home by their respective mothers who came over after hearing the wind, for fear of getting into any trouble.

nothing.

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

She still can't escape...
