Chapter 189 What a shame

Sad cries came from the home of Zhang Hongliang, Minqin Brigade, Wuxian County, Jiangnan Province. The old man of the Zhang family did not survive the Lantern Festival this year. He ran out of fuel and closed his eyes forever on the [-]th of the first lunar month. .

The old man of the Zhang family married two wives, the first wife only gave birth to a daughter for him, and the daughter died of illness when she was two years old.

This daughter was married when she was 16 years old. Although she was married not far away, she seldom came home.

The current Mrs. Zhang is actually the cousin of Mr. Zhang's first wife. After the two got married, they gave birth to two sons and two daughters.

Zhang Daniu is the eldest son.

The second son, Zhang Baogen, is the youngest of all the sons and daughters. He joined the army and took a leadership position step by step by himself. Now he is the political commissar of a regiment in the South China Sea.

The latter two daughters were married fairly well, one was married in the Struggle Brigade, and the other was married in the Red Star Brigade, and they were not far away.

When Mr. Zhang fell ill last year, his second son, Zhang Baogen, brought his wife and children back for a visit. After returning to Nanhai, he could only write a letter to greet him.

Now that the old man has passed away, naturally he will not be buried until he comes back.

As soon as Mr. Zhang passed away, Zhang Daniu asked his sons to split up and report the funeral to his uncles and aunts.

Zhang Hongliang's task was to send a telegram to Zhang Baogen at the post office in the town.

Although the Minqin Brigade has a telephone, Zhang Baogen's unit is a confidential unit, and it is difficult to contact him by phone. For such an urgent matter, the only way to contact him is to send him a telegram.

After sending the telegram, Zhang Hongliang stood in the post office in a daze for a moment, decided to try his luck, and planned to call Liu Xinyu.

It turns out that his luck is still not very good.

First call Changchun Lane, the uncle at the newsstand said that Liu Xinyu had gone to school early in the morning, and he specially greeted the uncle before leaving.

When I called the Peking University dormitory, the dormitory auntie said that Liu Xinyu had indeed been to the dormitory, but she never returned to the dormitory after reporting to the department.

Zhang Hongliang couldn't help sighing, and after a long pause, he settled the two long-distance payments and walked out of the post office.

Liu Xinyu must have gone to the School of Chemical Engineering to work as a messenger for him after returning to Beijing University to report.

Thinking of it this way, I felt inexplicably at ease.

"Hey, isn't this Zhang Hongliang?" Walking out of the post office and pushing his bicycle to go home, someone recognized him. The person who came was his head teacher when he was studying in the town's junior high school.

Zhang Hongliang could only stop and greet the teacher.

The teacher's surname is Yang, and he was a classmate of Zhang Hongliang's second uncle when he was studying in the agricultural middle school.

Zhang Baogen came back to visit relatives with his wife and children, and it was necessary to get together with Teacher Yang.

Teacher Yang was naturally very close to Zhang Hongliang, and when he met Zhang Hongliang at the moment, he had to ask about the old man of the Zhang family.

Knowing that the old man has passed away, it is a great sigh.

"School starts today, and I will go to your house to express my condolences after get off work in the afternoon. Go back and persuade your grandma to mourn her." Teacher Yang patted Zhang Hongliang on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Hongliang nodded silently and watched Teacher Yang leave.

There was a funeral at home, so there must be many things to be busy. Zhang Hongliang didn't stay in the town too much, and just rode his bicycle and rushed home.

It's just that he was stopped again before he left the town.

This time, the person who stopped him was an old acquaintance from the Minqin Brigade, who once wrote a report letter to the machinery factory to slander Liu Xinmei, who had been abandoned by Zhang Hongliang.

Liu Xinmei was holding a child who was several months old in her arms, and she was carrying a big burden on her back. She should have just gotten off the traffic bus from the county, and when she went out to look around, she happened to see someone riding a bicycle from the town to go home. Zhang Hongliang's originally dull eyes lit up in an instant.

Regardless of whether he would be hit by a car, he rushed straight to Zhang Hongliang's bicycle.

Suddenly someone rushed over like crazy, frightened Zhang Hongliang, pinched the front and rear brakes of the bicycle in a hurry, it was because he had tall legs and long legs that he didn't fall down, but he was also very embarrassed.

He looked very displeased at the lifeless woman in front of him, only to realize that it was actually Liu Xinmei whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhang Hongliang looked at Liu Xinmei in surprise, what kind of experience this person has experienced, but I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the original village flower has properly become an ordinary person who may not be able to be found immediately if he is thrown in the crowd.

If I remember correctly, Liu Xinmei should be the same age as Zhang Hongxia.

Before they were married, Liu Xinmei was the village belle of the Minqin Brigade, and Zhang Hongxia was an ordinary-looking girl with dark skin.

Now that the two are compared together, it is almost the other way around.

After more than a year of marriage, the Chen family treated Zhang Hongxia like their own daughter, and Chen Jialuo treated Zhang Hongxia considerately. She almost didn't need Zhang Hongxia to go to the farm to earn work points.

It is said that one white covers all ugliness, which is vividly reflected in Zhang Hongxia.

On the other hand, Liu Xinmei has lost a lot of weight and almost lost her shape. Her round face is not as round as before, making her look at least seven or eight years older. She looks like a woman in her late twenties when she is clearly in her twenties. Zhang Hongliang sighed in his heart.

But sighs are sighs, Zhang Hongliang is still serious about Liu Xinmei.

Zhang Hongliang frowned impatiently at Liu Xinmei, wondering why she suddenly rushed out to stop him.

It was not easy to meet a person from the same village, and Zhang Hongliang, whom she had admired for many years, Liu Xinmei would not let go of this opportunity.

Since getting married, the man has taken her very seriously. Except for returning home three days after the marriage, he almost never went back to the Minqin Brigade, and he didn't even come back to pay New Year's greetings.

The man got drunk yesterday, and it took most of the night to calm down. It was almost ten o'clock and he was still asleep on the bed.

The two cubs born to the dead woman in front, the older one reported to school, and the younger one went to her mother's house for New Year's greetings in the second year of junior high school, and was left at her mother's house for a temporary stay.

So she finally got the chance, took a few dollars from the man's pocket, took the clothes and diapers she and her daughter changed, and sneaked out with their half-year-old daughter in their arms.

She had to go back to the village quickly. As long as she got back to the village, she would not be afraid of men chasing her and taking her home.

If she was really chased home by a man, she would have to be cleaned up by the man again.

She has run away more than once or twice, and every time she was discovered by the man in time, and she was caught and cleaned up when she came home.

The man was ruthless and vicious, and he never hit her in the open. It was impossible for outsiders to see the scars on her face. Only she knew how many wounds she had on her body.

Her sufferings were all given to her by the man in front of her and her fiancée. It's a pity that she has no ability to take revenge on any of them now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take revenge on them in the future.

Since there is no way to retaliate, then use it as much as possible. Of course, it would be better if you can block them.

"Brother Zhang, I took my children home to celebrate the New Year, thinking that my brother and the others would come to pick me up, but I didn't see them when I got out of the car. Could you please take me with me for a while?" Lifting the burden on the bed, he begged with a bitter face.

Zhang Hongliang didn't want to agree at first, but the child in Liu Xinmei's arms suddenly started crying, which made Zhang Hongliang quite unbearable.

Forget it, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

No matter how hateful Liu Xinmei is, how innocent is she?
