Qian Shulan and Deng Xingming were very persistent. On the one hand, Deng Yunping was happy because they really loved her, so they tried their best to dissuade her. On the other hand, she was very sad because she had to accept Wei Jianshe's coercion.
Deng Yunping had a very bad time during these three days.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to have the best of both worlds.
At the agreed time, Deng Yunping arrived and spoke directly, "My mother and brother are against it, and I can't do anything about it. If you really want to report me, go ahead. Anyway, my situation won't get any better if I marry you."
Wei Jianshe was choked by her. What did she mean by this? Was he so bad
He is obviously the one who suffers, right
But he didn't dare to force her. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Why don't you send me something in the future? Twenty kilograms of fine grains and five kilograms of eggs a month."
Anyway, he married her purely to disgust that old woman, so he was the one who suffered the loss in the end.
Deng Yunping's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? I only have 29 kilograms of food a month. How can I tell my mother that 20 kilograms is missing?"
Wei Jianshe looked at her with a half-smile, "Just say you're giving it to your lover?"
Deng Yunping narrowed her eyes and warned, "I told my mother before that I wanted to marry you. Who do you think she thought my lover was? Will she come after you?"
Wei Jianshe curled his lips in disapproval, "Do you think I'm afraid of an old woman like her?"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Deng Yunping said nothing and just looked at him coldly.
Wei Jianshe also knew that he was a little too confident, and said sinisterly, "If I get beaten by your mother, I will come after you."
Seeing Wei Jianshe smiling with ill intentions, Deng Yunping was filled with anger and felt more and more bitter in her heart. Was she going to be coerced by this man in the future
She walked home with her head down.
Qian Shulan was entertaining villagers at home.
Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year, the day when villagers visit each other.
They came to see Qian Shulan just to ask about hatching chicks this spring.
Although it only takes two months to hatch chicks, you can earn a lot of work points, so everyone is trying their best to squeeze in.
When Deng Yunping came in, everyone praised her, "Aunt, you really know how to raise a daughter. Look how well you have raised Yunping. When she first came, she was pale and skinny, not like a city girl at all. Now you have raised her to be plump and white. Not only would people in the county, but people in the provincial capital would believe her."
Others also echoed.
Qian Shulan pursed her lips and waved her hand politely, "She doesn't deserve your praise."
The others complimented her a few more times, but when they saw that Qian Shulan was not interested, they left.
After the people left, Qian Shulan turned her head to look at Deng Yunping, "Are you going to see Wei Jianshe?"
Seeing her mother's cold face, Deng Yunping felt uncomfortable. She said cautiously, "Mom, I won't marry Wei Jianshe."
Qian Shulan was slightly surprised, and her expression softened a little.
Soon it was getting dark and heavy snow was falling outside. The house was warm and Xiao Min couldn't hold on any longer and soon fell asleep.
Qian Shulan called Deng Yunping to the main room to warm herself by the fire. She almost scared Deng Yunping to death when she opened her mouth. "Actually, I know why you want to marry Wei Jianshe."
Deng Yunping felt that her brain had lost the ability to think. She sat there like a piece of wood, motionless, staring blankly at her mother's mouth, watching it open and close.
Deng Yunping licked her dry lips, "Mom, you? You?" How did you know
Qian Shulan lowered her head to turn over the sweet potatoes and sighed, "Actually, I should have thought of this earlier. There is no way you can like Wei Jianshe. He is not someone you would like. Whether in terms of age or in your heart, you two are totally incompatible."
Hearing this, Deng Yunping couldn't help but tear up, but her heart was even more panicked. Her mother guessed it, so did she also know her privacy
Her body couldn't help but tremble.
Qian Shulan seemed to have not noticed her abnormality at all and continued, "He should be threatening you, right?"
Deng Yunping closed her eyes to hide her panic. She really guessed it.
"Does he have any leverage over you?" Qian Shulan pinched the sweet potatoes that were roasting on the coal stove and found that they were soft. She took them down immediately and put the aluminum pot back on.
Qian Shulan peeled off the sweet potato skin, revealing the roasted orange-red sweet potato flesh inside. She couldn't help but take a bite with her mouth watering.
Deng Yunping felt a very complicated feeling in her heart as she watched her mother eat so happily.
Why was her mother so calm after knowing this? Wasn't she afraid
No! That's not right! Her mother doesn't know that she has killed someone yet, so she can't panic.
She acted nonchalantly as she lifted the aluminum lid off the pot to see what was cooking inside.
Seeing that she remained silent, Qian Shulan understood her intentions after a brief thought, "It seems that you must have a very big handle. It is most likely a life."
Clang! Deng Yunping immediately dropped the pot lid in her hand to the ground with a loud noise.
She looked up at her mother in disbelief. She really guessed it. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Shulan looked straight into her eyes, as if not allowing her to escape, and her voice was neither sad nor happy, very calm, "Whose life is it? Your husband or your adoptive father?"
Qian Shulan felt that even if she could no longer walk, she could still be a fortune teller. She could see that Deng Yunping's right and wrong value was 0, and she actually believed it.
The more she guessed, the more accurate it became. Deng Yunping just stared at her mother and forgot to react for a moment. Her throat was itchy, so she had to turn sideways and cough continuously.
Qian Shulan did not help her to calm down, but let her cough. It was not until she was about to cry that Qian Shulan picked up her handkerchief and handed it to her.
Deng Yunping didn't dare to look up at her mother. It was such a surprise that her most secret thoughts were exposed by her mother.
For a moment, the main room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard: the sound of her mother chewing sweet potatoes.
After more than ten minutes of silence, Deng Yunping finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her mother's attitude was wrong. She had killed someone, but her mother's tone was so calm.
It was as if what she had done was just a small thing, like a light slap on someone, not worth taking seriously at all.
She looked up suddenly, breaking the strange silence, "Mom, how did you know?"
Qian Shulan casually made up an excuse, "I asked your uncle to investigate your life in Shanghai before, so I guessed."
Deng Yunping licked her lips, even more surprised by her mother's reaction. She asked tentatively, "Mom, aren't you afraid?"
Qian Shulan tilted her head and smiled, "Why should I be afraid? You can't kill me. And you are a good girl, mother knows that."
Deng Yunping was stunned for a moment, then she smiled softly. She didn't wait until tears oozed out of her eyes again before she wiped them away. She felt a little regretful. If she had known that her mother was so understanding, why would she let Wei Jianshe blackmail her
"Indeed, I won't kill you at all." How could she kill her mother who was so kind to her? She was still a human being.
Qian Shulan wanted to know why she killed someone, "Then can you tell me why you wanted to kill your adoptive father?"
Deng Yunping was stunned and a little surprised, "Didn't you guess two people just now?"
Qian Shulan said as a matter of course, "I guessed it from what you just said." Only someone who has killed his adoptive father would ask such a question.
Deng Yunping thought so too. She pursed her lips and fell into memories. "After my husband died of illness, I moved out of my husband's house and lived directly in the single dormitory of the factory. One day, my adoptive father came to see me." At this point, she paused, "I never thought that he actually had such thoughts about me. He threatened me that if I didn't obey him, he would report to the leaders that I was not disciplined. He is my adoptive father, and it is impossible for everyone to not accept what he said. So I pretended to be nice to him and asked him to cut his hair like Chairman M. Then I went to the Red Guards to report him, saying that he was disrespectful to Chairman M. He was detained by the Red Guards for more than 30 days and forced to confess, but he refused to admit it. The family members were looking for him like crazy. I was also worried that he would tell his family after he came back that it was my idea to cut my hair. When Shanghai was in chaos, I immediately found the rebels at the time and revealed his identity. He was the director, and the rebels arrested him to force the enemy to surrender. But my adoptive father's position was a bit low, and it was useless. In a rage, the leader of the rebels killed him."
Qian Shulan looked at her with admiration, this trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone was quite good. What a pity!
Deng Yunping smiled bitterly and spread her hands. "The Red Guard at that time was Wei Jianshe. So he knew my role in it."
Deng Yunping now thinks that this strategy actually had many loopholes. If Shanghai had not been in chaos at that time and the two factions had not been fighting frequently on the streets, her strategy would probably not have succeeded.
Qian Shulan didn't care. "If you know, then know! Anyway, he has no evidence to prove that you instigated your adoptive father to cut his hair."
Deng Yunping lowered her head and said nothing.
Qian Shulan looked at her expression and seemed to guess what she was worried about. "Are you worried that your brother will hate you?"
Deng Yunping nodded. "I know my brother. He is so naive sometimes that it makes people speechless. He will definitely blame me."
Qian Shulan patted her shoulder and said, "I don't think so. Your brother actually hopes that you can live a good life. If you hadn't killed your adoptive father, you wouldn't be alive today."
Any girl who is violated by her adoptive father will be traumatized.
Like in novels, those who fall in love with rapists are either sick or stupid. How can a normal person fall in love with someone who violates him
Deng Yunping was a little unconvinced, "Will it happen?"
Qian Shulan told the truth, "I think I can accept it. You just want to protect yourself, and you did nothing wrong. But this method is still not advisable. You should stay away from people's lives in the future."
Deng Yunping looked at her mother and saw that her expression didn't seem fake, so she finally felt relieved.
Qian Shulan looked at her expression, thought for a moment and advised her, "Let the past be the past."
Wei Jianshe’s threat is secondary. The most important thing is that the girl herself can’t get over it.
She felt that killing someone was wrong, so she just lived day by day as if there was no tomorrow.
Qian Shulan had never figured out her thoughts before, but now that she knew her entire past, she suddenly realized how deep her heart knot was.
The author has something to say: At that time, there were people who were criticized for cutting their hair the same way as the Chairman.
The update time in the next few days cannot be determined. But it will definitely be updated. Thank you for your support.
