Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Yu Chunxing was still guessing what her father was going to say.

When he suddenly heard this, his brain went a little dazed and he subconsciously stared at his father's face. The vulnerability that he could not show in front of his younger brother Yu Qiutang suddenly burst out.

Her tears suddenly flowed out.

Although he didn't say anything, Yu Dejin saw the situation and understood everything.

He did not speak immediately, but pulled open the mattress beside the railing, took out the pipe that was roasting on the kang from underneath, stuck the pipe head in, stirred it around, and when he took it out, the pipe was already filled with tobacco.

He slowly put the pipe back under the mattress and patted it gently to press it firmly.

He took out a box of matches from somewhere.

"Bah!"

The match was lit, and the fiery red flame swirled around the pipe, slowly illuminating the tobacco.

"Why did I hit you?"

Yu Chunxing said: "I don't know either. Anyway, whenever he gets upset, he takes it out on me and the kids. Now the kids who got beaten don't dare to show up in front of him."

Yu Dejin looked at his daughter and said, "Turn your head to the south."

"No, Dad!"

"Sideways."

Yu Chunxing couldn't stand her father's attack, so she turned her face slightly to the side, revealing a few black dots on her neck.

Yu Qiutang also saw it.

His expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Yu Dejin also frowned, "Is this...burned by cigarettes?"

"No," Yu Chunxing shook her head, "He doesn't have money to smoke. This is incense, burned with incense. The children also have it on their bodies, mostly on their buttocks. He doesn't burn any visible places, so others don't know."

Yu Qiutang then realized that it was no wonder that the two children didn't like people touching them. It was because their bodies were covered with wounds and it would hurt if they were touched.

When Yu Dejin heard this, he was also slightly stunned.

He wanted to say something, but his lips moved several times. In the end, he didn't say anything, but he said, "When a couple lives together, they should be considerate of each other. Why do they have to fight?"

Yu Qiutang couldn't help but said, "People who beat others care about these things. They just have a habit of beating others. If they don't beat others for a few days, will they be able to bear the itch?"

Yu Chunxing looked at Yu Qiutang nervously.

He looked at his father cautiously again.

She hadn't been home for a long time and didn't know the current situation at home. She was still stuck in her father's previous idea of ​​one person ruling the Yu family. She thought that Yu Qiutang dared to speak like that, which would make her father angry again.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dejin didn't react much.

He just smoked his pipe until it turned red, "It's not good to hit people, we should talk things over nicely."

"I just want to live a good life and talk to him nicely, but he won't listen. He blames me for everything. He blames me for the leaking house, the falling child, and the washing powder because I used it up too fast. Anyway, whenever something goes wrong, he says it's my fault.

I didn't argue. He basically just hit me once or twice. If I said something, he would hit me harder.

The same goes for both kids.

The child is so young, but he still beats him cruelly. The tendons on the little finger of our Dadong's right hand were broken last time. No one paid attention to it at first, and after it healed, it became bent.

Also, you didn’t notice that there is a patch of hairless head on Xiaodong’s head. It was when he was dragged against the wall by him that the top of his head was broken. After it healed, he never grew hair again…”

"This beast!"

Yu Qiutang was about to get out of his anger again.

The beating I gave him last time was too light, and I didn’t make that bastard pay the price he deserved and endure the pain he deserved.

Yu Dejin's pipe had been extinguished long ago, but he was still smoking mechanically.

After a long while, he sighed, "When I first started a family, I thought he was too honest and never thought he would be this kind of person. You still have to give in to him in the future..."

"Get the hell out of here!"

Yu Qiutang couldn't bear it any longer and cursed in front of his father.

"Can this also be allowed?"

He stared at Yu Dejin and asked, "Didn't you hear what my sister said just now? She is still going to tolerate this. Do you want my sister to be beaten to death by that bastard?"

"Then...what should we do?"

Yu Dejin was a little confused by the questioning of Yu Qiutang's son. He even forgot to get angry and asked subconsciously.

"What's so difficult about this? If we can't live together, then don't live together. My sister is marrying him, not being sold to the Wang family. Does she have to endure the torment and work like a slave for them all her life?"

"dignified……"

Yu Chunxing called out her brother's name, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only wipe away her tears.

Yu Dejin put the pipe on the railing and asked Yu Qiutang, "If we don't live anymore, how are we going to make a living? We have two children, who will take care of them?"

"Why can't I survive? I have hands and feet, so how can I not get a bite to eat? Besides, even if my sister and my nephew can't make it, I'm still here. Am I going to watch my sister go hungry?"

Yu Qiutang said, turning his gaze to Yu Chunxing, "Sister, you should have told me last time. I should have crippled that beast right then and there."

Yu Qiutang really regretted it.

At that time, he thought that his sister was being abused, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Domestic violence usually occurs when the victim is drunk or extremely angry and cannot hold back. This is a common behavior among men of this era.

But I heard from my eldest sister that Wang Youcai is a complete pervert.

He is not just committing ordinary domestic violence, but is addicted to beating people.

Who can live long in such a family environment? No wonder my eldest sister passed away so early in her previous life.

My feelings are all bullied by this bastard.

He should have been eliminated on the spot a few days ago.

Yu Chunxing sobbed helplessly, "He is the father of the child after all. If something goes wrong, the child will be fatherless. Besides, if you beat him to a pulp, what will happen to the three of us?"

"Besides Wang Youcai, there are no other men in the world," Yu Qiutang was annoyed by his sister's tone. "Do you want to keep guarding him even though you know he is a beast?"

"Ugh."

Yu Chunxing lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes gently. "This is my fate. My mother told me at that time that I was born with a miserable life."

Yu Qiutang thought to himself, you also listen to your mother's words.

She ran off with someone, leaving you three to suffer. She is not worthy of being a mother at all.

"You can stay here for now. I need to think about this matter."

Yu Dejin finally said to Yu Chunxing.

Yu Chunxing agreed.

Nowadays, the reason why many daughters have to swallow their anger in their husband's family is because they are not welcomed when they return to their parents' home.

One more person means one more ration of food.

After the parents and brothers and sisters separated, every grain of food belonged to everyone, and there was no share for the married daughters. Now that there were suddenly more people, who would the food come from?

Yu Chunxing naturally knew this truth. But when she heard her father ask her to stay, she was immediately moved. Her father said this, which meant that he was willing to pay for her and the children's meals. At least for the time being, the children could recuperate and take things one step at a time.

Yu Qiutang took over the conversation, "How about this, big sister, you can live with me. Anyway, the place is big enough for you and the children to live in."

"How can I do that? You haven't married yet, and you're taking in your sister and nephew. I don't think the girl will tolerate me when the time comes. She will definitely turn against you..."

"Don't be afraid. My partner is a good person and won't care about these things. You can stay here first and see if things can be resolved there. We can talk about it then."

"That's it..."

"I didn't hesitate much. It's not convenient for you to live here..." Yu Qiutang wanted to say that there was Chen Meidi, but when he thought about how she had worked so hard to finish cooking and the pots and pans were not even washed clean, it was a bit immoral to turn around and say bad things behind her back.

"If you live here, it will be difficult for Dad. Besides, Dad is old now, and he has to save a lot of things at home.

It's settled, if they live with me, the two kids can play with Xiaoyun and the others, it's better than here."

Yu Chunxing looked at her father cautiously, and Yu Dejin noticed it and nodded: "It's okay for you to live with the second son. If you have any difficulties, I will help you find a solution then.

Don't worry about your in-laws' affairs. I'll take some time off these few days and go over to see what's going on over there. If you can get by, then get by. If you can't... then don't get by. There's always food for you and the kids at home."

"father."

Yu Chunxing was very moved.

This was the warmth she had not felt from her father in a long time. The hard shell that had formed on her father's body seemed to crack at this moment, and warm light shone from within.
.
At night, we still live in the old house.

The three sisters and Xiaoyun slept in one room, and the rest of the people slept in another.

Naturally it's crowded.

But people here are used to it.

Just cross your head and feet to save space.

In the past, when we visited relatives during the holidays, the kang would be like this at night. The space that originally accommodated five people could now accommodate twelve people.

There is no room to turn over.

If it is winter and the kang is very hot, then all the people are like grilled fish on the stove, with no space left for turning them over.

In comparison, tonight is much more relaxed.

Before going to bed, Yu Qiutang called his three sisters together and gave them the gifts he had prepared.

The sisters were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes.

Yu Qiutang naturally spent a lot of effort and talked so hard before he finally persuaded them to accept it.

But it also scared several sisters.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have always seen pigs run. My sisters don't have any jewelry themselves, but they have heard from other married people in the village that things made of gold are very expensive.

Ninety-nine percent of families can't even afford a silver ring for marriage.

Fortunately, Yu Qiutang had a silver tongue and he used the same rhetoric that Wu Meifen had used on him on the sisters.

The sisters were no match for him and were all "defeated".

But he also received various warnings from his sisters, telling him not to learn bad habits, not to do evil, and not to do anything illegal or immoral.

Yu Qiutang was used to hearing these words and he was not annoyed.

The sisters gave him instructions, which naturally showed their concern for him. How many people in this world would truly care about others?

He should be happy to have such relatives.

While chatting, Yu Qiutang talked about his marriage with his eldest sister and second sister, mentioned Mi Yali, then Mi Wenzhong, and then naturally extended the topic to Yu Chunmei.

Yu Chunmei was completely unprepared.

I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to hide.

Yu Chunxing and Yu Chuntao were very interested. They both married and lived far away, and were busy with their own lives all day long, but they still cared about their younger sister who was in poor health most of the time.

Although no one said it out loud, I was actually worried deep down that with my sister's health, it would be difficult for her to get married in this lifetime.

But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

Ask Mi Wenzhong in detail about his character and personality, and whether he can treat Yu Chunxing well.

Yu Qiutang then explained Mi Wenzhong in detail to his two sisters.

During the process, Yu Chunmei was extremely embarrassed.

After listening, the two sisters were very happy, especially Yu Chunxing. The sadness and sorrow she felt at that time were also dispelled a lot. She said frankly that as long as one has good character, life will go on slowly. As long as one's character and morals are not a problem, there will be no problem as a person as a whole.

The siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time, and before they knew it they were chatting until late at night.

It was not until we heard the roosters crowing in the village that we suddenly realized it was already late. My second sister then asked everyone to go to bed quickly and go back early the next morning.

Then everyone went to bed.

The next day.

As soon as the day broke, everyone got up again.

Because Yu Chuntao was going back, even Yu Dejin and Chen Meidi stood up to see her off.

Everyone sent Yu Chuntao and Yu Qiutang to the entrance of the alley, and they were all reluctant to leave.

Even though we all say that if the idea doesn't work, just come back and take a look.

But they all knew in their hearts that once they returned, they wouldn’t see each other for at least half a year.

I feel sad.

After the death of his brother, Yu Dejin lost a lot of energy and spirit. He silently patted the frame of the motorcycle, as if checking whether it could support the weight of two people.

He waited until the two of them got in the car before he said in a deep voice, "You should also take care of your health. Don't harm your health for someone else's child."

Yu Chuntao smiled and said, "Dad, I know. Don't you know me? When will you treat yourself badly?"

Yu Dejin wanted to smile but couldn't.

All the voices in the heart finally turned into a gentle sigh.

"Let's go."

On the way back, there was a headwind. Yu Qiutang and Yu Chuntao discussed that they were not in such a hurry and it would be more comfortable and safer to drive slowly on the road.

When I got back to my second sister's house, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning.

Although my second sister's home and my eldest sister's home are both in the mountains and in neighboring counties, the two people belong to two different counties.

My second sister's side is called Chi County, and my eldest sister's side is called Huaiyang.

Huaiyang is mainly mountainous and is also the poorest county nearby. Chi County, where my second sister is located, is mountainous, but in fact it is more like a valley.

Moreover, a small plain was washed out in the valley and the soil is very suitable for growing crops, so the upland rice here is very popular. After the market was developed, it was exported to both home and abroad and became very famous.

When Yu Qiutang came down from the river, he could no longer tell the directions, and only found their village with the help of his second sister.

But as soon as I entered the village, I saw many people running hurriedly on the village road.

"What happened?" Yu Qiutang asked in surprise.

Yu Chuntao became even more nervous, and hurriedly grabbed someone to ask the reason. The woman saw that it was Yu Chuntao and pushed her hand away, saying, "It's all your fault. You two insisted on making me read books. Now the child's arm was bitten off by a wild boar." (End of this chapter)
