Siheyuan: Start with a big car

at this time.

Tian Futang has already led Sun Yuting to the outside of Widow Liu's courtyard.

Before opening the door, Tian Futang stopped and said, "Sun Yuting, when you speak later, be careful and don't be as frivolous as before. This is a blind date, not teasing a woman."

Sun Yuting nodded quickly: "Uncle Futang, don't worry, I, Sun Yuting, have no other abilities except that I am a good talker. I will definitely make that little widow happy."

Tian Futang was not happy to hear this, but thinking that Sun Yuting was still useful, he could only nod reluctantly, turned around and knocked on the door.

In the room at this time, Widow Liu was applying makeup and powder on her face.

That's right, it's the kind of rouge and gouache used before liberation, not the cream sold in supply and marketing cooperatives.

Tian Futang got this thing from the landlord Jin's house, and then gave it to Widow Liu.

Widow Liu looked at the disfigured woman in the dirty mirror and couldn't help but sigh softly.

I think back then, she was a famous flower within a hundred miles, much prettier than Wang Cai'e, but she had bad taste and was married to a short-lived man. She had experienced all the warmth and warmth of human kindness in her life.

Thinking of that damn man, Widow Liu lost interest in dressing up. She put down her makeup and took out a photo frame from the drawer.

The photo frame was originally golden, but after years of brilliance, and being picked up frequently, the gold on both sides of the photo frame had long since fallen off, and was replaced by a dark patch, which looked particularly old.

The photo in the frame has also faded a bit, but you can still see that the man in the photo has regular features, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is considered a handsome man.

The man's name is Zhou Tianheng. Not only is he handsome, he is also very capable. He became a production captain at a young age. Especially since he is still in elementary school, he is one of the few educated people in Zhoujiazhuang.

Therefore, people in the village felt that when the old party secretary retired, Zhou Tianheng would definitely take over.

So when Zhou Tianheng brought two big roosters to Widow Liu to propose marriage, Widow Liu agreed without hesitation.

After getting married, the two lived happily together, and Widow Liu lived a good life for several years. However, something unexpected happened. In that year, Zhoujiazhuang and Shuangshui Village jointly dredged the river.

The commune members led by Zhou Tianheng and the commune members led by Tian Futang worked together in the river to dig out the silt and load it on the bullock carts.

This silt is the best soil and fertilizer. As long as it is piled in the field, even the barren field will become fertile the next year.

While the members of the two villages were working hard in the river, the upstream sluice suddenly released water. Zhou Tianheng reacted quickly and immediately called the members to retreat to the river bank.

It stands to reason that Zhou Tianheng could escape, but when he saw Zhoujiazhuang's donkey still in the river, he jumped into the river without hesitation to rescue the donkey.

As a result, a wave came and Zhou Tianheng disappeared.

At that time, the commune members in Zhoujiazhuang were all anxious and desperately searched for Zhou Tianheng along the river bank. In the afternoon, they finally found Zhou Tianheng on the river beach downstream.

But at that time, Zhou Tianheng was no longer breathing.

When Zhou Tianheng was sent back to Zhoujiazhuang by the members, Widow Liu had just returned from her parents' home. Looking at the cold corpse, she swayed and fainted.

After burying Zhou Tianheng, Widow Liu fell seriously ill and it took two months before she could crawl out of bed.

She refused her mother's family's request to go back to live and stayed in Zhoujiazhuang.

At the same time, Tian Futang took this opportunity to often greet Widow Liu, and Widow Liu, an infatuated woman, unexpectedly accepted Tian Futang's kindness.

This shocked the surrounding commune members, and some even scolded Widow Liu for being shameless. If it weren't for Zhou Tianheng's face and thinking that Zhou Tianheng sacrificed his life to save collective property, the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang would have driven Widow Liu out long ago. .

Over the years, Widow Liu has endured countless humiliations and looked down upon.

However, Widow Liu silently admitted that she was stunned just because she heard a rumor.

While the people in Zhoujiazhuang and Shuangshui Village were working in the river, Tian Futang sneaked upstream and dug up the dam upstream.

At first, Widow Liu thought this was someone else slandering Tian Futang. After all, after Zhou Hengtian passed away, Tian Futang was busy arranging his funeral and lost several kilograms in half a month.

He also sent dozens of kilograms of grain to Widow Liu.

You know, in those days, a few dozen kilograms of grain could marry a young lady.

In addition, Tian Futang and Zhou Hengtian have always had a good relationship. If they hadn't been liberated and couldn't follow the old rules, the two might have become sworn brothers.

It is because of this that the production teams of the two villages will work together to clean up the mud in the river.

How could such a big brother-like person do evil things to Zhou Hengtian!
However, after this suspicion fell into the mind of Widow Liu, it quickly took root.

After some secret inquiries, Widow Liu quickly found out several doubts.

First, when the Tian family in Shuangshui Village went to clean up the mud that day, they did not bring a donkey cart with them.

After the two villagers met, Zhou Hengtian also felt something was wrong. After all, there was no donkey cart. How could he pull the silt cleared from the river into the fields?
So, he questioned Tian Futang.

Tian Futang's explanation at the time was that the Jin family was using the donkey cart in the village, and they would bring the donkey cart over after the mud was cleared.

Zhou Hengtian did not have any doubts, but when the river came, the Tian family without the old donkey cart could retreat to the shore without any burden.But Zhou Hengtian died because of rescuing Zhoujiazhuang's donkey cart.

Widow Liu later asked Jin Junwu of the Jin family about the donkey cart. Although it was a long time after the incident, because Jin Junwu's son was born that day, Jin Junwu remembered clearly that he originally planned to use the donkey cart to transport his wife. The baby was sent to the town hospital for delivery, but was rejected by the Tian family.

This is enough to show that Tian Futang deliberately did not bring the donkey cart into the river at that time. He had planned it for a long time.

Secondly, Tian Futang suddenly proposed to Zhou Hengtian when her body was still cold, and said that he had already fallen in love with Widow Liu, but Zhou Hengtian beat her to it. As long as Widow Zhou agreed to be good to him, he would guarantee that Widow Liu would stay with her for the rest of her life. Live comfortably.

Is this something a good brother can do?

After Widow Liu determined that Tian Futang was highly suspicious, she made up her mind to investigate the matter.

But Tian Futang was already the top leader of the Tian family at that time, and no one in the Tian family dared to provide clues. As for the members of the Zhou family, all their energy was focused on cleaning up the mud. No one noticed whether Tian Futang left the river at that time. A dike was dug upstream.

Widow Liu understood that it was impossible to find out the truth of the matter by herself.

So I agreed to Tian Futang's request and prepared to find evidence.

But this old guy Tian Futang is too cunning, and he is very strict in doing things, leaving no loopholes at all.

Widow Liu has endured humiliation and hardship for many years, but achieved nothing. Just when she was about to have a life-and-death fight with Tian Futang, Tian Futang suddenly proposed to marry her to Sun Yuting.

Although Sun Yuting is not a member of the Tian family, he is Tian Futang's lackey. He followed Tian Futang to the river, and maybe he will know the truth of the matter.So Widow Liu placed the prepared sickle under the bed and agreed to this humiliating request.

Thinking about these things, Widow Liu gritted her teeth when she heard the knock on the door, stood up slowly, adjusted her facial muscles to bring a smile to her face, and then turned around and slowly opened the door.

Seeing Tian Futang and Sun Yuting outside the door, Widow Liu's face showed just the right amount of shyness. She was neither repelling people thousands of miles away like the little girl, nor did she appear to be wild.

She gently bit her red lips and smiled: "Are you here?"

Widow Liu was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket today. Her face was as white as a goose egg, and her black braids were simply tied behind her head. If Sun Yuting hadn't known her age, he would have thought she was a grown-up girl from some family. !

Sun Yuting couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on."

Noticing Sun Yuting's gaffe, Tian Futang coughed lightly.

Only then did Sun Yuting react. He straightened his collar and said with a smile, "Sister, we are here."

"Come in quickly. You all know that there are many disputes in front of the widow's door. If someone sees it, they will definitely whisper about me behind my back." Widow Liu turned sideways and let the two of them into the house.

Then he struck a match and lit a kerosene lamp. The dim light spread from the wick and gradually filled the whole room.

When she leaned down, the beautiful curves she showed almost made Sun Yuting's eyes go straight.

Sun Yuting swallowed and said with a smile: "Sister, I, I'm here to propose marriage today."

After hearing this, Tian Futang's face darkened visibly.

He knew the temperament of Widow Liu. This woman seemed to be wild, but she was actually very conservative at heart.

This kind of thing should have been handled by him as a matchmaker.

really.

After hearing this, the smile on Widow Liu's face gradually faded. She sat down with her hands on the table, her left leg crossed on her right leg, and she snorted coldly: "What's the matter, I, Widow Liu, have a hard life, so I have to marry and serve you men." Can’t do it?”

"No, it's not." Sun Yuting was startled and stood up quickly and said, "Sister, I really miss you. Ever since I met you, I have been thinking about tea and food. Now whenever I think of you, I feel like you." There’s a fire.”

Widow Liu was no longer angry now and looked at Sun Yuting with a smile.

Tian Futang coughed twice and said, "Widow Liu, this is Comrade Sun Yuting, the poverty alleviation director of Shuangshui Village. He is 28 years old, two years older than you."

Sun Yuting kept laughing. Tian Futang had to push him and reminded: "Sun Yuting, please introduce your situation quickly."

"Ah, that's right." Sun Yuting came to his senses, straightened his chest quickly, and said loudly: "Widow Liu, don't look at me now, but I am a cadre of Shuangshui Village, and I am the only junior high school student in Shuangshui Village. , and have also worked in steel mills, and those who have been workers are much more powerful than those old farmers who face the loess and back to the sky.

As long as you marry me, I guarantee that you will be able to eat well and drink spicy food in the future. "

Widow Liu already knew the details of Sun Yuting. She almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

She suppressed her smile and said with a straight face: "Sun Yuting, have you divorced He Fengying?"

Hearing this, Sun Yuting's expression suddenly changed.

He forgot about it.

当初在县城里，孙玉亭被贺凤英的大哥暴揍了一顿，狼狈逃回双水村，而且他当初并没有想着要跟贺凤英结婚。

Waiting for Tian Futang to introduce him to the person.

He was only focused on being happy and completely forgot about this matter.

"I, I, I will get divorced immediately." Sun Yuting hesitated for a long time and could only squeeze out this sentence.

Hearing this, Tian Futang's lips trembled with anger: "Sun Yuting, you haven't divorced yet?!"

"I" Sun Yuting drooped his head to find an excuse: "Uncle Futang, haven't I been busy with your affairs these days? I don't have time to go through the formalities with He Fengying."

Tian Futang quickly looked at Sun Yuting and said to Widow Liu: "Don't worry, Sun Yuting will go to the county seat for divorce soon. Let's continue talking about marriage."

Today, Widow Liu was originally planning to agree to Widow Liu, but now she saw some clues.

She knew Tian Futang very well. This old man was cunning and cunning, and he always treated Sun Yuting like a dog.

He didn't get angry just now, which shows that he must have something to ask Sun Yuting for.

if
Widow Liu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, Sun Yuting, after you have completed the divorce procedures, we will talk about marriage."

"Oh no, I'm here, let's just talk." Sun Yuting became anxious when he heard this.

Widow Liu said with a cold face: "What, what do you think of me? Weeds on the roadside? If you want to provoke me, you can touch it? Sun Yuting, let me tell you, although I am a widow, I am also a decent person. You have not divorced before , Stop messing with me."

When Sun Yuting heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also admired Widow Liu's character.

Only such a pure woman is worthy of his wife, Sun Yuting.

Tian Futang originally wanted to get the black information in Sun Yuting's hands after settling this matter, but now that he saw this situation, he had no choice but to give up.

He said to Sun Yuting: "Yuting, you should immediately borrow a bullock cart from our village's handlebar, go to the county town, and get the divorce certificate."

Sun Yuting scratched his head: "Fu Tangshu, a letter of introduction is required for divorce. You are the village leader, so you still need to open this letter."

Tian Futang originally wanted to stay here and talk to Widow Liu again. He felt that something was wrong with Widow Liu today, but he couldn't explain why.

Now that I heard this, I could only follow Sun Yuting back to Shuangshui Village.

After the two left, Widow Liu changed her clothes and quietly slipped outside the cave dwelling of Jin Junshan's house.

At this time, Jin Junwu and Jin Junshan were preparing to find Li Weidong with Sun Yuting's black information.

The three of them bumped into each other.

Seeing Widow Liu appear, Jin Junwu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out: "Widow Liu, if you weren't on a blind date with Sun Yuting today, how could you be here?"
