"Pa~~" Mrs. Mao raised her hand and slapped Yuan's mother, which made her dizzy and confused.
"Wang Guixiang, you guys are too disgusting. They said they were getting engaged today, but not only did you not go, you also let your daughter go out to play. Do you know how embarrassing your family is for us?"
Mother Yuan looked confused and covered her face and said: "No... no, didn't you say you wanted us to wait? Didn't a rich elder sister come over and say it was you..."
"When did I say that? When did I say that? When did I find some rich eldest sister? There should be a limit to your nonsense like this, okay? Let you go. Not only will you not go, but Yuan Lan is not at home yet.
, do you know how important today is to us? We have been waiting in vain for several hours. Do you know what consequences this will have on my family, Jianhua?"
Father Yuan stepped forward, protected Yuan's mother and said, "What's going on? What's going on? My mother-in-law, calm down, calm down..."
"Bah, who is your biological mother? I don't care! Anyway, I'm not done with you today. We don't want your Yuan Lan anymore. It's so disgusting... Xiaoqiang, let's go!"
Mao Xiaoqiang also glared at Yuan's father and Yuan's mother with a cold expression, then spit on the ground with a sigh, then turned and left with Mao's mother.
Watching the Mao family mother and son leave, Father Yuan and Mother Yuan said in unison: "What's going on?"
Yuan Liang was still calm enough. He stepped forward and said: "Dad...Mom, don't say anything. We need to find my sister first..."
Father Yuan and mother Yuan were stunned and nodded quickly.
"Yuan Liang, see if you can ask your classmates to help us search together, it will be faster~"
"I'll go right away!"
...
Until late at night, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother could not find Yuan Lan. Yuan Liang asked several close classmates to search separately, but they could not find her either. As a last resort, the Yuan family called the police.
The person on the night shift happened to be Uncle Zhao. When he saw a group of Yuan's father, Yuan's mother, Yuan Liang, and Yuan Liang's classmates coming to the police station, he was stunned. He quickly stepped forward and asked: "What's going on? Is this...
Why is there such a big battle?"
Mother Yuan grabbed Uncle Zhao with red eyes and said: "Old Zhao, Lan Lan, Lan Lan is gone..."
"Ah, your Yuan Lan is missing. What's going on? Tell me quickly..." Uncle Zhao professionally took out a pen and paper and started recording.
Yuan's mother burst into tears and couldn't explain clearly. In the end, Yuan Liang told what happened.
Uncle Zhao put down his pen, frowned slightly, and asked: "You said a middle-aged woman went to your house and picked up Lan Lan? What does that woman look like?"
Yuan Liang described the general appearance of the middle-aged woman. Uncle Zhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Why don't I have any impression of this person? I'm afraid he's not from our area? Xiao Ding, please make a call now.
Please ask comrades from other institutes to look for her as well."
A young male policeman behind him said loudly.
...
After searching all night, Yuan Lan was still not found.
At 5:30 in the morning, before dawn, just when Yuan's father and Yuan's mother were about to despair, a neighbor took a wolfdog out for a walk. When he saw them, he immediately came forward and said that he saw Yuan Lan returning home.
"What? Go home, go home quickly!" Yuan's father, Yuan's mother and the others ran towards home quickly.
When I opened the door, the lights in the room were dark, but I could clearly smell the smell of blood.
Yuan Liang turned on the light bulb, and the yellow light instantly filled the whole room.
On the ground in front of the kitchen counter, Yuan Lan lay motionless with her eyes closed. There was a deep knife mark on her left wrist, and crimson blood flowed all over the floor.
"Lan Lan..." When Yuan's mother saw this, she almost rushed towards her. She knelt on the ground and picked up Yuan Lan. She took off her clothes and, without caring about anything else, pulled Yuan Lan's bleeding body.
The wrists were wrapped.
Uncle Zhao saw something was wrong and quickly helped Xiao Ding behind him: "Quick, go find the doctor, quick~ Yuan Liang, you also follow Xiao Ding!"
"good!"
...
Fortunately, the hospital is not far from Yuan's house. Within ten minutes, several doctors in white coats arrived.
There were no ambulances in the early 1980s. Ordinary people couldn't use them at all. Even if they wanted to use them, they might not be able to use them, because there were only three ambulances in the entire hospital, two of which had quotas and were specially used by government officials.
It was prepared by the leaders of the hospital. The remaining one is generally never seen.
In the end...it was a neighbor who took Yuan Lan to the hospital on his own tricycle.
Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and Yuan Lan's life was finally saved. However, the moment the doctor walked out of the operating room, he still scolded Yuan's father and Yuan's mother.
"What's going on? Your girl is on her period right now. She was already bleeding, and now she cuts her wrists. If she delivers it later, she will be in trouble if she loses too much blood. I really don't know how you parents are...
.”
"This..." Although Yuan's mother knew that her daughter was on her period, she had no idea that she was going to slit her wrists. Moreover, what happened to her from the time she walked out of the house to the time she slit her wrists?
Yuan's mother was crying on Father Yuan's shoulder, and Yuan Liang was crying till his nose was full of tears. If only he had known that he would go with his sister. He obviously felt that something was wrong, so he should have stayed with his sister.
During the day, Aunt Hong came with Zhao Minglan and Ma Xiaoquan.
Loud noises were not allowed in the hospital, so Aunt Hong and Mother Yuan could only go outside to talk.
Zhao Minglan and Ma Xiaoquan walked into the ward to see Yuan Lan. Yuan Lan was awake, but her eyes were dull. No matter how Zhao Minglan called her, she didn't answer.
"What happened?" Ma Xiao, his face turned livid, grabbed Yuan Liang's collar and asked.
Yuan Liang pursed his lips and said: "Brother Xiaohu, I really don't know. Yesterday, Mao Xiaoqiang and his mother came over and said they wanted us to wait for the engagement banquet, and then..."
Yuan Liang told Ma Xiaoquan everything he knew. When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
Anger surged to the top of his head in an instant. He probably guessed that the Yuan family was probably being plotted by the Mao family, but he couldn't understand why the Mao family wanted to plot against the Yuan family. The two families had known each other not long ago.
There was no enmity either.
"Where are the Mao family members now?" Ma Xiaoquan clenched his fists, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Yuan Liang was stunned by Ma Xiaoquan's expression.
At this moment, a big hand held Ma Xiaoquan down. He turned around and saw that it was Uncle Zhao.
"Uncle Zhao, Yuan Lan..."
Uncle Zhao shook his head, pulled away Ma Xiaoquan's hand from Yuan Liang, and then said: "Things are a bit complicated, but Xiaohu, you must not mess around. Did you hear me? If you mess around, you will destroy more than one person."
Yes, you may destroy the Yuan family..."
"But Uncle Zhao..."
Uncle Zhao approached Ma Xiaoquan and whispered: "This matter has been handed over to our police station. Please stop interfering and go to work. Do you hear me?"
Ma Xiaoquan originally wanted to refute, but he knew that the fact that Uncle Zhao was able to get close to him and say this meant that the matter was not that simple. Uncle Zhao must have obtained some information before making such a judgment.
In the next few days, Bai Suzhen and other people from the textile factory went to see Yuan Lan.
Yuan Lan still didn't say a word, and didn't even show any expressions of sadness or joy. When she was discharged from the hospital, she was walking in front alone.
...
Yuan Lan's incident did not cause any big disturbance. After all, no one knew what happened to her, so it didn't take long for everyone to gradually forget about it. However, in these days, Yuan Lan had repeatedly
After cutting her wrist, when Aunt Hong led Ma Xiaoquan back to Yuan's house, Yuan Lan's wrist was no longer a single knife mark, but several, and even two of them were newly healed.
After leaving the Yuan family, Aunt Hong said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to Yuan Lan. I guess it was because of her temper that the Mao family did not get engaged to their family. But that's okay, then
Mao Xiaoqiang is not a good person, and the Mao family is not a good family..."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, thinking that it seemed that Uncle Zhao had also concealed something from Aunt Hong, but that was fine, so that Aunt Hong would not worry too much.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to ask Huang Chi to help investigate what happened to Yuan Lan, but when he met with Huang Chi two days ago, he was clearly rejected.
The reason Huang Chi gave was that he didn't want to get involved in these things. After all, it had nothing to do with him.
Regarding Huang Chi's rejection, Ma Xiaoquan was angry at first, but then he thought about it, and Huang Chi really had no reason to help him. After all, most of the binding between them was a relationship of interest, and he could only come up with something that was beneficial to Huang Chi.
If Chi is interested in the exchange, he will probably help her, but if that time comes, he must have almost investigated it clearly.
...
Time flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the spring of 1981 is here, the earth is recovering, and everything is waiting for a new beginning.
Yuan Lan has not been to the textile factory since her accident. Fortunately, Uncle Zhao helped with the operation, and her establishment was finally saved. However, because she never went to work in the factory, the factory only gave her a symbolic daily payment through the labor union.
A monthly subsidy of four yuan and seventy-three cents is given.
Looking at Yuan Lan, who had not spoken for a long time, Yuan's mother pulled Yuan's father aside worriedly and whispered: "If this continues, if Lan Lan is not sick, I will be angry to death. What do you think happened to her?"
Well, I don’t want to say anything..."
Father Yuan sighed and said: "What are you talking about? Mao Jianhua's family are not human beings at all, so what else is there to say."
Mother Yuan even choked up and stopped talking.
The room was small, and Yuan Lan could hear her parents' conversation. She suddenly stood up, put on her coat, and said, "I want to go out..."
For the first time in a few months, her daughter spoke. The excited father and mother nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let your brother accompany you."
