Chapter 19: Mrs. An is really going to cry to death

Old Mrs. An really didn't care about anything and just sat down on the ground and howled.

"The third child, come back quickly and save my mother. They are going to bully my mother to death. You just bully my family when the third child is not here. If he is here, do you dare?"

The village chief tapped the leg of the chair with his cigarette pole, but it didn't make the howling sound quieter at all.

"Hmph, don't talk about An Xiuyuan this time, even if the county leaders come, it will be useless. All the work points for this year will be deducted. If there is not enough, you will have to pay, and you have to pay it within seven days."

After saying that, the three of them left. Mrs. An really cried this time. She had to pay compensation even if the money was gone, and there were still three patients at home. How could she live like this?

"Milk, I'm hungry."

"I'm hungry too."

Chirping children gathered around again.

"Get out, get out of here."

Zhang Hemiao, who was lying in the woodshed, also shed tears with her eyes closed. She saw her mother-in-law's words and her man's behavior just now and remembered them in her heart.

Zeng Tian finally drank the chicken soup she had longed for. Although she only sprinkled some salt, it tasted quite good. The soup was stewed white, and she drank two large bowls in one go before she was satisfied.

There was still enough left in the pot for her to eat two meals, and she happened to have lunch tomorrow before going to the county town. This way, she might not come in the evening, so she could pester An Xiuyuan to sleep one more night.

Late at night, An Xiuyuan lay on the bed in the dormitory, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In his dream last night, he actually dreamed that his wife was being bullied and kept crying, and kept calling his name to save her, so he felt a little uncomfortable tonight.

Dare to sleep.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that his daughter-in-law would be bullied, because he had just taught his second brother a lesson, his eldest brother at home was more cowardly, and the village chief would also go over to check on her from time to time.

But he didn't know why he just didn't dare to sleep. He looked at his watch and it was already one o'clock in the morning. He sighed and sat up and decided not to sleep at all. He turned on the lamp and lay down in front of the desk to draw pictures.

He kept painting until almost four o'clock before he felt sleepy. He lay back on the bed and fell asleep quickly. However, his wife's crying still did not let him go, and when the wake-up bell rang, he had a terrible headache.

After sitting up and calming down for a while, An Xiuyuan felt more and more uneasy. He quickly got up, washed up, and went to the workshop. He had to rush to see if he could go back tonight.

Zeng Tian had a good night's sleep. She got up early and went to the backyard of her house to start exercising. This body can't fully display her true strength yet, so the exercise plan starts today.

After practicing the combination boxing only twice, he couldn't hold on anymore, and his legs were shaking. Zeng Tian had no choice but to insist on stretching before stopping.

"Xiu Yuan's wife, Xiu Yuan's wife."

Zeng Tian heard that the voice seemed to be Aunt Chunmei's, so she ran to open the door without even bothering to wipe her sweat.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Han Chunmei worriedly stretched out her hand to probe Zeng Tian's forehead, but she felt the sweat on her hand.

"I just have nothing to do to clean up the house. Maybe I'm too exhausted and I'm so tired after not working for a while."

"Look at you, I told you to have a good rest. When will you be unable to work?"

Zeng Tian smiled and patiently listened to the teachings. It turned out that this was what her elders taught her, and she found it quite pleasant.

Han Chunmei also likes Zeng Tian, ​​and no matter what she says, she always nods obediently.

"Girl, I'm here because your uncle wants me to deliver a message to you."

She briefly talked about the situation at Lao An's house yesterday, and she couldn't stop the ridicule on her face.

"What your uncle means is that you have to go and give Xiu Yuan a warning. The current situation of Lao An's family cannot wait until he comes back next time. What if they shamelessly go to the work to make trouble with him?"

If he was really sleepy, someone would give him a pillow. Zeng Tian looked worried.

"Auntie, I'm going now. Can you tell me how to get to the county seat? I haven't been there yet."

"You've never been to the county seat?"

This poor child, even their grandson, who is only a few years old, has been there.

"Then it's better for me to go with you, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you get lost again."

"No, no, I can ask people when I get to the county seat. I just need to know how to get there."

The two talked for a long time before Han Chunmei reluctantly agreed, and even explained the way to the county seat several times before she felt relieved.

"Here, this is a letter of introduction from your uncle. If you can't come back at night, you can stay at the guest house."

Zeng Tian quickly scanned the letter of introduction with big eyes. It seemed that it would be inconvenient to go out in the future.

After showing off two more bowls of chicken soup to the sender, Zeng Tian put a layer of sunscreen on his face before going out. He would have to be in the sun for an hour or two.

When passing by the old house, she wished she could fly over to avoid anyone seeing her and pestering her. However, she still heard the crying in the old house, and she was in such a good mood that she almost hummed a tune.

Aunt Chunmei said that the brigade's oxcart rides to the county town only once a week, and only on Friday mornings. Today happens to be Thursday and can only rely on two legs.

Zeng Tian rested twice along the way before arriving at the county town. He found a stone and sat on the side of the road to relax. He glanced at the county town blocks and saw them all. The state-owned hotels, supply and marketing cooperatives, and post offices were all not far away.

There are pedestrians in shabby clothes, and from time to time, proud people on bicycles pass by.

But Zeng Tian was very satisfied with such a small county town. At least there was a place where he could go shopping. What girl didn't like shopping? It was better than just staring at her at home all day long.

She was not in a hurry to find An Xiuyuan, but planned to visit the county first.

The supply and marketing cooperative was the first one I wanted to visit, but when I walked in, it was completely different from what Zeng Tian had imagined. There were two clerks, and the counter was built with wooden boards. You could see all the goods at a glance.

There are three kinds of pastries, two water bottles, a pile of tea jars, and some matches, candles, needlework and daily necessities.

The condiments are all in big barrels, and whoever wants to get as many bottles as they want. The wine is available in bottles and in bulk, but don't even think about famous wines.

Five types of fabrics, three types of shoes, black cloth shoes, Jiefang shoes, and rubber shoes.

It was over, there was nothing left. Zeng Tian suddenly felt like she couldn't spend the money she had, so she turned around and left in disappointment.

Looking down at the ready-made clothes on his body, he didn't know where An Xiuyuan bought them. Anyway, he didn't see any for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative.

While Zeng Tian was wandering aimlessly, two familiar faces suddenly flashed in his mind. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the stepmother and stepsister of the original owner.

She quickly turned around and walked into the alley next to her. It was not the time to confront them directly. When she was stronger, she would meet them in person. After all, the original owner's life was in their hands, so that was it.

The bond with the original owner.

"If it happens this time, you will be a city kid. Even if you look for a partner later, you have to find a good one. We are not from the countryside. When I bring your two younger brothers to the city later, your mother and I will be living together for the rest of our lives.

It’s worth it.”

"Then you have to buy me new clothes, otherwise I won't be laughed at when I go to work."
