Yoshida Mii

Chapter 61
"Second uncle, we only have my mother's and me's bedding here, so you won't let us take it away?" Dong Bao asked.

Second Uncle Song looked at Li Lifeng and Li Hongqin next to Dong Bao and smiled, "You guys must take the bedding. If it's anything other than bedding, you can't take it with you."

Li Lifeng stood in front of Lin Shi, and said coldly, "Are you going to be searched?"

"No, no." Second Uncle Song shook his head quickly, "This is also for the sake of talking in the future."

Dong Bao pulled Li Lifeng's lapel, motioned him to stop talking, and went forward to open the bedding in the basket, stood up straight and said to Uncle Song: "Good dogs don't block the way, just look if you want, look When it's over, let's go quickly." Anyway, it's not a family anymore, she still wants to give the Song family some room for each other, since the Song family insists that their mother and daughter are a dead end and must tear their faces apart, then don't blame her Do not treat these people as family members.

"What are you scolding? Try saying it again?" Second Uncle Song almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he widened his eyes and shouted, "Irregular things! You...you are disrespectful! No one would dare to beat you to death!" Say something!"

Lin Shi frowned and said, "Second Uncle, if you hit someone, we won't agree."

"What kind of elder are you?" Dong Bao sneered, "Why don't I go out and ask the folks to comment on it? Is there a second uncle who threw out his sick sister-in-law? Is there a second uncle who wants to search for the bedding of his sister-in-law and niece? I Is it wrong to call you a dog? A dog has not bitten its own child! You are worse than a dog!"

Uncle Song's angry face turned into a pig's liver color. Seeing Dong Bao with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, he wanted to step up and beat him a few times to relieve his anger. Not daring to step forward, he glanced sideways at the bedding. The tattered bedding was worthless at all. He didn't think that Mrs. Li might have a private house. After coming over, Li Shi was lying on Li Lifeng's back. He was afraid of being infected, so he didn't dare to get too close.

Let him see so aboveboard, even if he has money from his own house, he probably wouldn't put it in the bedding, Second Uncle Song rubbed his chin and thought, a pair of small eyes wandering around Li Shi and Dong Bao sneakily.

"What? You still want to do a body search?" Li Hongqin shouted, "I'll go to the door of your old Song's house to yell and tell everyone to come and see!" Li Hongqin yelled at the top of her voice, "Tagouji Come and see, my brother-in-law is going to search the bedding of the widowed sister-in-law and niece! The shameless Song Lao Er is going to search the widowed-in-law’s luggage!"

Soon, a lot of people gathered at the door, pointing around the door.From now on, the old Song family has become the focus of Tagouji, even more lively than the day Song Xiucai passed the exam.

"Song Yu, you bastard!" Old man Song heard Li Hongqin's cry in the main room, his face trembling with anger, "Go back!"

Uncle Song's face was not good-looking, and he slapped a few people on the ground resentfully, and said in a strange way: "I have a lot of adults, I don't care about people who are about to die, get out, get out!"

"Bah! You are the one who is going to die!" Dong Bao scolded back. From the moment the family separation document was written, Song Yu was no longer her second uncle, and Huang was no longer her grandmother. People who go to one place in the dark have nothing to do with her.

Lin Shi couldn't help laughing, supported the burden on his shoulder with one hand, touched Dong Bao's head with the other, and said with a low laugh, "Who did you learn from, so aggressive?"

The young man's voice was warm and pleasant, with a kind smile, and his breath blew into Dong Bao's ears. Dong Bao's face blushed for no reason, and he muttered: "Don't they always say that I am a tigress? I will be a tigress." Tiger show them!"

Dong Bao turned her head, and behind her was the east house where she had lived for several months. She had been living here ever since she passed through. The oil fume constitutes a special taste that Dongbao can't forget in his memory.

From now on, they will leave the cage of shackles that traps them.

Mrs. Li lay on Li Lifeng's back, thinking back on the things that happened these days, from her "sickness" and Huang's refusal to pay for medical treatment, to throwing her out of the house, and finally leaving the Song family. Song Yu had to search her body Making things difficult, thinking about this scene, Li Shi only felt cold as ice, angry, miserable and unable to struggle, his face was flushed red, tears kept streaming out, soaking Li Lifeng's back.

When a group of people passed the gate, many people were still watching there.Li Hongqin is a pungent and generous person, and while walking with sorghum noodles on her back, she said loudly to the onlookers: "I feel ashamed when I say it, the son of the Song family wants to search the luggage before my sister and niece go out, if we don't stop her, I'm afraid there will be a body search! When my sister married in, my parents bought a few boxes of dowry for the old girl, and now there is only a broken quilt left. Who did the big guys post it to? He is Go search with this face!"

There were big girls, young daughters-in-law, and elderly people who watched the excitement. After hearing what Li Hongqin said, they were either amazed at the top quality of the Song family, or they secretly made up their minds not to associate with the Song family in the future. Too dark.

There are not many residents at the west end of the village. The houses of Dongbao's great-grandfather and great-grandmother are easy to find. There are two willow trees at the door, with luxuriant branches and leaves.Because it has not been inhabited for many years, a gate made of uneven lengths of wooden boards has long been decayed. Dongbao pushed it lightly, and the gate fell down.

"This gate needs to be replaced with a stronger one." Li Lifeng said, "It's just the two of you living here, so I don't worry about making it stronger."

The yard left by great-grandfather and great-grandmother was much larger than the Song family's house, but it hadn't been lived in for many years, and the house was abandoned.When passing by here before, Dong Bao didn't pay attention to it. Now that he came in, he found that the two adobe houses had been washed away by the rain, and only the beams were still standing on the ruined walls, and the roofs of several tile-roofed houses It was also leaking rain, and the house was damp.

Weeds are overgrown in the yard, green moss grows in the cracks in the walls, and it has been unoccupied for many years, and there are no unclean things like rats in the house.

Dongbao heard from Mrs. Li that during the years when Song Yang was a scholar, every New Year's Eve, Song Xiucai would take her to clean the old house, and worship her grandparents in the old house to show her filial piety. As Song Xiucai's life became more and more frustrated day by day, even the annual worship was avoided.

The lock on the door of the main room was so corroded that it couldn't see its original appearance. Lin Shi put down his burden and pulled it lightly, and the lock fell off in response. After pushing the door open, a gust of cool damp came over his face.

"I'll buy two locks later." Lin Shi smiled, "Otherwise Auntie and Dongbao won't be able to sleep at night."

The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple, with only a table and a bed.After Dongbao's great-grandfather and grandma passed away, Huang took all the furniture that could be seen in the old house back to his own home. Now there are only a table, a bed, and a few tattered small benches left.

Li Lifeng looked around and let Mrs. Li come down. With the idea of ​​comforting his sister, he said with a smile: "The house was well built back then, the tile-roofed roof was solid, and the courtyard walls were in good condition. , It’s long gone. It’s just that it’s less popular, and it will be fine if you live in a few days and cook a few more meals.”

Mrs. Li has always been used to hard work, and she can't be free until she goes to bed every day. Now she has been lying on the bed for two days for the first time, feeling that the bones in her body are creaking, so she hastily dug out the bedding from the basket and spread it on bed.

Li Hongqin was helping her at the side, comforting her with quick words: "Come on slowly, you have hands and feet, and I and your brother will help you. When you are healthy, you can find a job to support you and Dongbao. Slowly save money and you can pay off your debts, life is what people live day by day. You earn what you earn and eat for yourself, it’s better than working hard to serve those black-hearted people for nothing!"

After thinking about it, Li Shi felt pain and happiness in her heart. Although she was worried about her and her daughter's future, she and Dong Bao were free now, and she was no longer afraid that her mother-in-law would suddenly sell Dong Bao one day. With enough food and clothing, both mother and daughter can be together.

The three women, Li Shi, Li Hongqin and Qiuxia were busy cleaning the house. After such a big commotion, it was getting late and the sun had already begun to set.Li Lifeng went out with Lin Shi first, and he went back to the town to find a wood shop to buy a door, while Lin Shi went to the old family's grocery store, bought two locks and returned.

After the lock was bought back, Mrs. Li wanted to give him money, but Lin Shi refused with a smile and refused to accept it.

With Li Shi and Li Hongqin cleaning the house, Dong Bao freed up his hands to clean up the pots and pans that were assigned to him. Lin Shi helped her clean the stove, and Quan Zi also helped her like a little adult. Fortunately, There is a small forest behind the house, the three of them picked up casually for a while, and they gathered enough firewood for dinner.

Seeing Dong Bao skillfully kneading noodles and lighting firewood, Lin Shi teased her with a smile, "You know how to cook?"

"I can do a lot!" Dong Bao said to Lin Shi with a smile, "After these two days, we've cleaned up quickly, Brother Dashi, bring your whole son over here, and I'll cook something delicious for you! "In terms of cooking, she has a long history of family education. When her parents are busy with business, they can't care about cooking. It is she who packs the meals for the whole family. Even after going to work, her place is also a favorite place for colleagues to gather. Why, Dongbao is good at cooking, whoever goes will have a good taste!
In the evening, Li Lifeng came back from the town with a man pulling a cart. The cart was equipped with a thick wooden door that hadn't been painted. When he entered the village, he happened to be carrying a hoe to the ground Old man Lin and Lin Fu who came back quickly helped them push the cart to the old house at the west end of the village.

On the way, he met Shuanzi's father again. After hesitating for a moment, Shuanzi's father also came up to push the cart with his hands, and talked to Li Lifeng and the others with a smile.

When they got home, several middle-aged men worked together to install the new door in a short while.

"The well in this yard has been useless for a long time. Tomorrow I will bring someone to wash it for Mrs. Xiucai." Father Shuanzi laughed.
