Chapter 9 Taking In

Lin Mai put away the smile on his face, put his household registration book in his arms, and said coldly: "I'm going to leave the house like this? I won't take any clothes with me? Why don't you give me a few dollars?"

Wu Xiaoyu looked at her angrily for a long time, then took out more than one piece from her body: "There are only so many, do you want love?"

As if she were filth, she put the money on a big stone on the side of the road and turned around and walked away.

Lin Mai didn't care. He picked up the bills and counted them, and found that there were only more than one dollar and thirty cents.

Although it is very small, it is easy to get to the provincial capital as long as you have the travel expenses.

There are many dual-income families in the provincial capital, and she can recommend herself to be a nanny for such dual-income families.

Although the salary of being a nanny in this era is meager, as long as you live in the city, there are more solutions than difficulties.

As soon as the two returned to Wu's house, Wu Xiaoyu personally packed up all Lin Mai's things.

He put her in a snakeskin bag and pushed her out of the courtyard gate without even letting her eat her dinner.

He threw the snakeskin bag on her, told her to get out of here, and then slammed the courtyard door tightly.

That day was the last day of 1981. There were snowflakes in the sky. Lin Mai was driven out of Wu's house in ragged clothes and fell into the snow.

She lay in the snow and laughed silently, celebrating that she was not a divorced person and had become a free woman. From now on, she could go wherever she wanted.

A young daughter-in-law named Zhou Caiyun from the house next door has been hiding in the house and watching her sympathetically.

I saw her shoulders shaking and thought she was crying.

Taking advantage of her family's unpreparedness, he slipped out of the house, squatted beside her and whispered: "Stop crying, just go and join whoever you can. The Chinese New Year will be here in a few months."

Then he stuffed a handful of money and a bag of dried sweet potatoes into her hand and said, "Let's go quickly while the wind and snow are not too bad."

When Lin Mai tried his best to control his wild laughter and wanted to thank her, she had already ran home in a panic.

Although Lin Mai only lived in Wujiacun for two months, he knew Zhou Caiyun a little bit because he was a neighbor.

A weak and submissive little daughter-in-law.

Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and her man often beat her because her belly has not moved after several years of marriage. Even her sister-in-law bullied her. She is a miserable person.

Lin Mai put the handful of notes Zhou Caiyun gave her into her pocket, put the bag of dried sweet potatoes into a snakeskin bag, got up and left, her slender figure quickly disappearing into the wind and snow.

The courtyard door of the Wu family opened silently, and Wu Xiaoyu came out and followed Lin Mai furtively.

Lin Mai ran out of the village in one breath, stood in a daze at the fork in the road, and then walked towards Simei Town.

Wu Xiaoyu, who was hiding behind, breathed a sigh of relief.

Simei Town is in the opposite direction to Lin Mai's natal Wangjia Village.

Lin Bei was studying in Yunlai County, where Wangjiacun is located. Lin Mai did not go to Wangjiacun, which meant that she was not going to Yunlai County, so they would not report her.

This bitch is smart!

As long as she dares to go against the goddess, he will never let her go!

Lin Mai would not let Lin Bei go. He just came out of the Wu family and had to settle down before talking about revenge. He just had to endure it for a while, so there was no rush.

After walking for ten miles, Lin Mai arrived at the entrance of Simei Town.

The snow had stopped a long time ago, and only the cold wind blew by, causing some pain on the face.

There is a large lake not far from the entrance of the town, but the local people call it a pond.

In Lake Province, the Province of Thousand Lakes, the standards for reservoirs are different from those in other provinces.

The reason why Simei Town is called Simei Town is because the pond is called Simei Tang.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese captured four girls and forced them to lead the way to the Eighth Route Army.

The four girls refused, but could not escape, so they had no choice but to jump into the pond and commit suicide while the Japanese were not paying attention.

Later, in order to commemorate these four girls, people named the pond as big as a lake Simei Tang, and the town was also renamed Simei Town.

Lin Mai looked ahead, as if seeing a future full of flowers, took a deep breath and walked into the town.

Although tomorrow is the New Year's Day, rural areas in the 1980s did not celebrate this Gregorian festival.

In addition, because of the snow, the town was deserted, and at a glance, there were not many pedestrians in sight.

Lin Mai went straight to the only guest house in the town, hoping to stay for one night, take a hot bath and change clothes.

During this time, she was pretending to be crazy, and she was all dirty.

The receptionist at the guest house saw that Lin Mai was in ragged clothes and was wearing a snakeskin bag that symbolized his identity as a farmer. He had a very bad attitude.

She kept asking for a letter of introduction, and wouldn't let her live without a letter of introduction.

Lin Mai clearly remembers that since the late 1970s, the requirements for letters of introduction in various places have not been too strict.

She didn’t have a letter of introduction, but she didn’t look like a bad person. She was accommodated in guest houses and travel agencies, and she also carried her household registration book with her.

This woman is using chicken feathers as arrows!

She can still play for a few years now, but in a few years this state-run guest house will be closed down, and she will be unemployed.

After leaving the state-owned guest house, Sijin went to a small state-owned restaurant.

I plan to fill my stomach first before continuing to look for a place to stay.

She ordered a bowl of the cheapest Yangchun noodles, and received a big look from the waiter.

However, the portion of Yangchun Noodles was really substantial. In the decades following her previous life, she had never seen such portions of Yangchun Noodles again.

While Lin Mai was eating noodles, she took out all the bills Zhou Caiyun gave her from her pocket and counted them.

Basically, they are all divided into one-point and two-point tickets, and even the cents are very few.

Such a huge amount of money, but only two yuan and twenty-six cents and a few taels of food stamps.

It was not easy for Zhou Caiyun to save all this money, but he gave it all to her.

When I get rich, I will thank her again.

After eating Yangchun noodles, Lin Mai started looking for a place to stay.

I walked up and down the town several times and successfully attracted the attention of a pair of elderly people.

The old woman stopped Lin Mai and asked kindly: "Girl, if you don't go home on a snowy day, why are you wandering around all the time?"

After experiencing various pains in his previous life, Lin Mai stopped crying long ago.

What's the use of crying, nothing can be solved.

But at this moment she decided to sell it out, otherwise what would she do if she didn't have a place to stay tonight?

Lin Mai, the drama star, worked up her emotions for a while, tears streaming down her face, and she choked: "Mother-in-law, I...I'm homeless..."

The old woman quickly pulled her into the house, sat down by the brazier, and asked with concern: "Why are you homeless?"

Lin Mai then accused her sister of plotting against her and exchanged her for bride price and fabrics so that she could study and dress up. Her husband's family thought she was sick and kicked her out of the house, and she told the old woman in tears the tragic experience.

Not to mention that the old woman had tears in her eyes when she heard it, even her wife had red eyes when she heard it.

The old man specially made a cup of boiling brown sugar water for Lin Mai to drink.

Lin Mai was a little embarrassed.

Although her experience was very miserable, she was reborn, so she didn't feel it was very painful, but these kind-hearted old people took it seriously.

The old woman asked her: "Are you the little daughter-in-law in Wujiacun who was driven crazy by her father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Wujia Village is not very far from Simei Town, and the Wu Jingui couple's abuse of their daughter-in-law caused a big fuss, so the elderly people also heard about it.

Lin Mai nodded appropriately with tears in his eyes: "Yes."

That looks so pitiful.
