Several times in dreams

Chapter 73 Orphans and Widows
Meng Wanying's eyes darkened and she fell to the ground.

Li Mengxian and Wan Lan hurriedly carried her to the bed, pinched her and poured sugar water on her.

After a while, Meng Wanying woke up leisurely. She never dreamed that she and Wen Jun were separated like this.

Poor Yuhui has never seen her father, and Wen Jun hastily left before seeing her daughter.

Meng Wanying was stuck in her throat, she couldn't cry out, she held her breath in her throat, and she was about to faint again.

Li Mengxian was so frightened that she quickly shouted, "Wanying, you cry, you cry quickly! It's fine if you cry!" while stroking Wanying's chest with her hands.

Wanlan cried and hugged Wanying in her arms, "Sister! You have to cheer up, and there is Yuhui! You are the only mother for her!"

"Yuhui!" The two words rang in Meng Wanying's heart.

"Yuhui!" Meng Wanying cried out, tears pouring down her face!

she cries!Weeping for the husband who will never meet again; she weeps!Cry for the affection that will never come back; she cries!Weep for the inescapable doom; she weeps!Cry for the daughter who lost her father at birth!

She hates it!Hate the murderous murderer; she hates it!Hate God for taking away her happiness; she hates it!She hates herself for not being able to bloody the enemy with her own hands; she hates it!Hate the hand of fate teasing life!
Meng Wanying sang an opera while crying: There are sun and moon hanging in the morning and evening, and there are ghosts and gods who hold the power of life and death.Heaven and earth! We only distinguish between clear and turbid, but how can we get confused by Robber Zhi and Yan Yuan? Those who do good will suffer poverty and shorten their lives, while those who do evil will enjoy wealth and honor and prolong life.The heaven and the earth! They were made to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak, but they turned out to push the boat like this! The earth, you don’t know what is good or bad, and what is the earth!

Li Mengxian and Wan Lan wept together while listening.

Who doesn't want to be safe and have a smooth life, but this is the way this world is, surprises and accidents, I don't know which one will come first!
Early the next morning, Meng Wanying returned to Chen's house with Yuhui in her arms.

The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have already started fighting again, and the national army is currently arresting the Communist Party and its members all over the city.

On the day Wen Jun was killed, the body could not be transported back to the city at all. After discussing with Wen Jing, Captain Zhao decided to incinerate the body, put it in a jar and secretly bring it back to the city.

The crying that Meng Wanying heard in her dream that night was exactly Jiang and Wen Lan crying bitterly while hugging Wen Jun's ashes.

Jiang's mother and daughter were afraid that Wanying would suffer a fatal blow during confinement and her body would be ruined, so they discussed with Li Mengxian's family a plan to lure Wanying back to her natal family for recuperation.

After Meng Wanying left, Jiang and Wen Lan burst into tears, and they were really holding back for the past few days and were about to collapse.

The family did not dare to say anything, and quietly buried Wen Jun in the old forest of the ancestral grave. They only said that Wen Jun suddenly fell ill and died.

Meng Wanying returned to Chen's house with the child in her arms, and when she entered the door, she saw the mourning hall secretly set up by Jiang for Wen Jun.

In just one month, Jiang's hair was all white, his eyes were sunken, his cheekbones were high, and he sat at the door of the main room absent-mindedly.

"Mother!" Meng Wanying called out with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Cui'e raised her head in a trance, seeing that it was Wanying, suddenly flustered and didn't know how to answer.

"Mom! I know it all. For me, you have been wronged! I will call you mother from now on!"

Jiang was stunned for a while, tears streaming down his face suddenly, "Hey! Good! My poor child!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried.

Meng Wanying held Yuhui and burned three sticks of incense to Wen Jun, and kowtowed on behalf of Yuhui, "Wen Jun, look at you as a father, this is our daughter, you named her Yuhui!"

Meng Wanying was crying while talking to Wen Jun, as if the opposite was either a photo with a black frame or Wen Jun himself.

The days passed slowly in torment, and it was winter in a blink of an eye.

Because of the civil war, the Kuomintang has been arresting strong men everywhere, and there are no long-term laborers who can do the work. They don't know how to arrange the work in the fields next year, and the business in the shop is not good. I can't do it anymore.

Wen Jing proposed to sell the two shops at a low price, instead of cash but gold bars, hard currency is still reliable in times of war.

Meng Wanying was right after thinking about it, so she asked Wen Jing to take some valuable medicinal materials and better fabrics home for future use.

As for the food saved in previous years, Meng Wanying tried every means to hide it as much as she could, saving some food on weekdays, so that if no one would grow the fields next year, the whole family would not starve to death.

The Jiang family has long hid the valuables and jewelry at home, and now these bastard national troops are scrambling to grab things everywhere.

Before the shop was sold out, Wen Jing was suddenly arrested.

It turned out that the Kuomintang was going west and needed more manpower to build the fortifications. Every family had to produce males in their prime.

Meng Wanying became anxious as soon as she heard this, so she cheekily went to head Hou again.

She clearly knew that she was humiliating herself, but when she thought of Jiang's crying at home, her mother-in-law really couldn't lose another son, Meng Wanying bit the bullet and asked Captain Hou to speak.

"Hey, isn't this Meng's sister? What did you say about me last time? Oh, by the way, I'm no different from the Japanese."

Head Hou smiled, "You said you came to my place again, aren't you afraid of danger?"

"My lord, you don't remember the faults of villains. I was a little impulsive that day, so I said something bad." Meng Wanying said with a low eyebrow.

"You said you came to me to intercede and let your brother-in-law go. If everyone is like your family, the country will come to intercede when it employs people, so who will protect the country?" Captain Hou sternly.

"But my family's situation is special. My husband just passed away." Meng Wanying couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey, look at how dejected you are! What do you mean you are running around with a new funeral?" Captain Hou looked disgusted.

"Let me tell you the truth, your husband's family has two sons, you must go to one, if not, go for the other."

"That won't work, my little brother has bad ears and can't hear."

"Then what are you talking about? Go back quickly. At that time, I promised Commander Meng to take care of you, but I didn't promise, even your uncle!"

Meng Wanying got a bad nose and had no choice but to go home in despair.

At home, Yuhui was so hungry that she cried loudly. Meng Wanying hurried to the stove to warm her hands to get rid of the cold, and then brought Yuhui back. The little guy was so hungry that she plunged into her mother's arms and ate desperately.

Seeing that Wanying came back after hitting a wall, the Jiang family saw that there was no hope, so she could only hope that Bodhisattva would bless Wenjing to return safely.

Without Wen Jing as a helper, life is even more difficult. Wen Jing even asked someone to send a letter back, asking Meng Wanying to help take care of Xizi.

Meng Wanying had no choice but to take care of the shop herself, and put up the signboard of the shop for several days, but no one cared about it.

Meng Wanying was in a state of anxiety, the whole family had to eat and drink every day, so what should I do if this shop only pays out but not takes in, and can't sell out?

The second sister-in-law, Xu Wanqiu, learned about this and knew Wanying's hardships, so she helped lobby a speculator from Shanghai.

He was about to put the imported foreign goods from big Shanghai into this small county town. Although the price was high, they were good things that could not be seen in the world after all, and there were still rich people who could afford them.

In the end, they agreed to buy two shops from Meng Wanying's family at the price of two yellow croakers.

That day, Meng Wanying carried two yellow croakers in her pocket, as if she was carrying her whole family's wealth and life. She carefully hid the yellow croakers in the most secret place, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe all the way, for fear of encountering the national army who snatched them.

After all, she got home safely, and as soon as she entered the house, Meng Wanying's legs gave way and she sat on the ground.
