After the group of us sat down in the room, the old lady was about to start telling a story. I was afraid that I would not know how to address each other when I asked questions, so I interrupted and asked their names.
The old lady also smiled and said, "You guys are very particular. You even have to ask my name when you hear a story. My surname is Cai, you can just call me Aunt Cai. My daughter-in-law is called Chun Ling'er who will pick you up."
I politely said a few more words, and then signaled to Aunt Cai that she could speak.
After thinking about it, Aunt Cai asked Mr. Zhao first: "Are you from the east town?"
Mr. Zhao nodded, and then asked Aunt Cai: "I'm also a foreigner. I've only moved here for six or seven years. My hometown is Shanxi."
Aunt Cai said with an "oh", "No wonder you haven't heard about Jinghua. It has been almost ten years since Jinghua's accident, but Jinghua and you are fellows from Shanxi."
Then this Aunt Cai also told us such a story intermittently. That Jinghua's full name is Xu Jinghua. Her hometown is from Datong, Shanxi, and her family is very good. She is also the only child in the family, so she has lived a very spoiled life since she was a child. But she is not arrogant.
Ten years ago, Xu Jinghua was twenty-two years old. She was working as a finance company in a hardware wholesale company. Her job was not bad, so her family began to find her husband's home. The city met Cai Li, who went to work in Datong. This Cai Li was the second son of Aunt Cai's neighbor. Ten years ago, he was twenty-four years old. Before, he had to ask the family for money.
He was also hesitant that Cai Li was not doing his job properly, so he was not a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty-four, and there was no girl in the eight villages who could look down on him.
After Cai Li arrived in Datong, he found a job as a loading and unloading worker in a logistics park. The job covered food and accommodation, so the money Cai Li earned was barely enough for him to spend.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for two people who can't get along with each other, Cai Li and Xu Jinghua, but it is good fortune. One day, the person in charge of shipping from Xu Jinghua's company asked for leave, and Xu Jinghua followed the company. The driver went to count the goods, and then took the ticket and followed the driver to the logistics company to deliver the goods.
And the logistics company that Xu Jinghua and the driver went to was the one where Cai Li was.
Cai Li loaded the truck shirtless as usual that day, but when Xu Jinghua got off the car and ordered the goods, several boxes on her company's pickup truck were skewed, and many hardware items were heavy. Damn, accidentally smashing it is not a joke, but Xu Jinghua just turned over the notebook to find the record, but didn't look up.
Cai Li was the closest to Xu Jinghua at that time, and seeing that the box was about to fall, he rushed down and pushed Xu Jinghua away, but he didn't have time to dodge, and half of his leg was smashed under the box.
It is said that the fracture was broken directly at the time, so the people there were confused, especially Xu Jinghua, the whole person was frightened, or the driver next to her reminded her: "Jinghua, they are here to save you, don't be stunned. Now, go look for the phone and dial '120'."
Aunt Cai said it in great detail, just like what she saw with her own eyes. I asked her how she knew these details, and Aunt Cai said, "These are all things that Cai Li brought Xu Jinghua back from Datong, and they were on the street. Everyone in our village knows what he said about it."
I nodded and asked Aunt Cai to continue.
In order to save Xu Jinghua, Cai Li broke a leg, which made Xu Jinghua feel very guilty, so he was willing to bear all the treatment and nutrition expenses of Cai Li, and compensated Cai Li with a sum of money. Jinghua's parents also had no problem, after all, the young man saved their daughter.
Later, I don't know how this happened, and it was published in the newspaper, and the comments directly made Cai Li, a cynical boy, a hero who did justice and bravery.
Being so praised by the media, Cai Li also restrained his lazy personality a lot, so whether Xu Jinghua or Xu Jinghua's parents came to see him, he behaved politely and spoke generously. Obviously He became a good and positive young man.
In that era, Xu Jinghua's age group naturally yearned for pure "love", and the outside world made Cai Li a hero, so Xu Jinghua soon fell in love with this promising young man.
As for Xu Jinghua's parents, they are reasonable people. Seeing that their daughter is willing, and Cai Li's performance has been good these days, they also agreed to Cai Li's relationship with his daughter.
Cai Li was a blessing in disguise this time, so after waiting for Cai Li to recover, Xu Jinghua proposed to follow Cai Li back to his hometown and meet his future parents-in-law. able and capable.
The two returned to Caijia Village, Aunt Cai's village, at the end of the autumn of that year.
Cai Li's parents were overjoyed when they watched their son lead a beautiful daughter-in-law back. They felt that their little son was finally sensible and willing to do it right, so after obtaining Xu Jinghua's consent, Start planning for the wedding.
Cai Li and Xu Jinghua finally got married here.
At the beginning of Cai Li's marriage with Xu Jinghua, he did change a lot of bad things, and he was very active in his work. Child, this time, the people of the Cai family were even more amused.
But just after Xu Jinghua became pregnant with her child, some of Cai Li's slackness in the past were suddenly exposed again.
And it happened to be a winter at that time, and there was nothing at home, so Xu Jinghua didn't care, but later Xu Jinghua began to hear some rumors in the village, saying that Cai Li and a little widow who opened a small shop in the town They were entangled together, and sometimes even Cai Liye stayed at the widow's house when he didn't return home.
When this news came out, Xu Jinghua didn't believe it at all, because Cai Li was a hero in her heart, so she felt that people in the village were teasing her, but as more and more people spoke, she felt something was wrong So one night, she quietly came out of the village and went to the small shop to stay.
Sure enough, at ten o'clock, after Cai Li played mahjong, he went to the little widow's small shop, and the small shop also quickly closed and turned off the lights. As for what the two were doing in it, naturally I don't need to go into details. .
When Aunt Cai said this, Xue You, who was on the side, suddenly said with righteous indignation: "This Cai Li is really not a thing. It's not as good as a beast. I don't know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law."
Aunt Cai also responded: "Who said no, Jinghua is a well-known and good daughter-in-law in our area. She is beautiful, knows a lot, and loves to help us."
I interrupted the conversation between Aunt Cai and Xue You and asked her to continue the story, because according to my previous experience of listening to stories, the plot has just begun.
After Xu Jinghua found out that Cai Li and the little widow had an affair, she was heartbroken. Unfortunately, Xu Jinghua was born with a good-natured personality. At this time, the anger in her heart was sent to herself, and she returned home crying that night. .
At that time, Xu Jinghua was pregnant with a child and could not get angry, but she was so angry with Cai Li, so she showed signs of miscarriage, and there was a lot of blood below, but the frustrated Xu Jinghua was Instead of looking for help, he chose to find a rope and hanged himself from a pear tree in the yard in the middle of the night.
When Cai Li's parents woke up the next day, they found that his daughter-in-law had long since become a cold corpse, and her legs were covered with blood clots that had solidified into ice.
On the other hand, Xu Jinghua's eyes were wide open, and there were still two crystal teardrops frozen into ice at the corners of his eyes.
Speaking of this, Aunt Cai also took a deep breath and said, "The other day we heard about the accident next door, and we rushed over to see it. Jinghua's death was a miserable one. No matter how close her eyes were, she couldn't close her eyes, okay? It's easy to close it for her, and it opens again on its own after a while, it's really deadly."
I was curious and asked Aunt Cai: "She can still open her eyes by herself, so does she still have some vitality?"
Aunt Cai shook her head and said, "She's already dead, her body is cold, she doesn't breathe, she doesn't have a heartbeat, how can she still be alive, but a corpse with eyes open all the time is really scary."
At this moment, Xue You asked, "What about that bastard Cai Li, when did he know something happened at home?"
Aunt Cai continued to tell the story.
After the Cai family accident, Cai Li's parents quickly instructed Cai Li's brother to go to the town to find Cai Li. Cai Li's brother also found the little widow's small shop according to the rumors, knocked on the door and called Cai Li out. Said that something had happened at home, but Cai Li was still reluctant to go back with a condescending look.
Cai Li's brother yelled angrily: "You shameless scumbag, how could I have a younger brother like you, your daughter-in-law is dead, you are still stealing women outside, with such a shameless woman, you , you, you have simply lost all the faces of our old Cai family ancestors."
At that time, when Cai Li heard his brother say that his daughter-in-law was dead, he started scolding: "Brother, if you scold me, I will scold me, don't talk about my daughter-in-law, why are you so vicious."
Cai Li's brother sighed in anger: "Go back and see for yourself, Jinghua hanged himself at home, it's all because of you, a shameless woman."
After the scolding, Cai Li's brother also walked away.
This Cai Li was stunned at the time, and hurriedly ran home. When he saw that Xu Jinghua was really dead, he was dumbfounded. I heard that Cai Li cried in front of Xu Jinghua's body for three whole days. They all cried like peaches, and while crying, they scolded themselves for not being a thing, but Cai Li's crying did not exchange for Xu Jinghua's understanding, and a great disaster was quietly approaching the Cai family.
And this disaster happened to Xu Jinghua, no, to be precise, Xu Jinghua and the first seven of the child in her womb...
