Rebirth of Everyday Life In the 1970s - Chapter 82
“So, do you still need to save this evil obstacle?”
‘Zhou Lan’ said vigorously.
His meaning couldn’t be more obvious, that is, to take the life of Zhou Lan, the chief culprit, to calm the anger of the Xing family, in order to rescue the Xujia Villagers who were invaded by grievances on the 70th.
Song Fengchen frowned, and He Duanfeng said it with awe-inspiring righteousness, but in his impression, Zhou Lan was calm, enthusiastic, self-reliant, and it seemed that he would never be a wicked person.
It was here that Teacher Zhou interrupted his thoughts with a cry of pain.
“what do you know?”
A spark of hatred burst into her eyes, and she roared in anger, her voice was sharp and ear-piercing, and it spread far and wide.
“My sister, Zhou Lan, who graduated from junior high school at the age of sixteen, was sent to Xujia Village. The captain of the production team burned the letters we had with her in order to force her to marry Xing Min, and asked her to do all the dirty work. , Racked my brains to deduct her centimeter… My sister was not as good as dead, so she had to agree to marry Xing Min.”
“She and Xing Min were married for less than three years and had three children. Do you know what this means?” Teacher Zhou roared bitterly.
‘Zhou Lan’ expression stagnated.
Pregnancy in October, confinement for a month, less than a month before being pregnant with a child-this is how to treat the person as a wife, this is to treat her as a sow!
How did Zhou Lan survive?
“My parents became sick from worrying about her and died in depression…”
“But my sister refused to admit her fate. She tried her best and finally escaped from the Xing family and from Xujiacun. When she came back, she was bruised and there was no good meat on her body. She was married to the Xing family for six years. Min beat her for six years…”
“God opens my eyes—” Teacher Zhou red eyes, breathless, “The Xing family is dead, they are all dead, good death, good death!”
Seeing Teacher Zhou’s hysterical wailing, He Duanfeng couldn’t recover for a long time. Obviously, he didn’t expect such a hidden secret in this matter.
But when he thought of the more than 70 villagers in Xujia Village who were waiting for his help outside the house, his slightly shaken heart instantly became firm again.
“Which so?”
‘Zhou Lan’ said in a deep voice: “There are too many poor people in the world. What you said is not enough to cause her to take away all the savings of the Xing family. Doesn’t she know the end of this? But she still did it. , Let alone her two sons and one daughter among the dead, but tiger poison still doesn’t eat children…”
Speaking of this,’Zhou Lan’ suddenly gained confidence: “I admit that it was the Xing family who was not sorry for her first, but the Xing family had already paid the price for this. In contrast, the eight villagers of Xujiacun have already paid for it. Xing’s family was killed innocently, and more than 70 villagers were dying. Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with Zhou Lan? Shouldn’t Zhou Lan make atonement for this?”
Teacher Zhou’s expression was stagnant, she subconsciously wanted to argue, but couldn’t say anything. She asked for help as if looking into the air: “Mr. Song.”
Song Fengchen frowned, and he stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, “I’ll be honest, what you just said are just your own words. Before coming to a conclusion, shouldn’t you listen to what the person said?”
He probably heard the helplessness and hesitation in Song Fengchen’s tone. He Duanfeng only thought that he was moved by himself, and his vigilance dropped a lot in an instant. He readily responded, “Okay.”
At this moment, it was probably just now that Teacher Zhou’s heart-cracking roar scared the pedestrians around. A policeman on duty in a white uniform greeted him with a solemn expression: “Comrade, can I help you? ?”
“What?” Teacher Zhou was taken aback. When she saw the police, she didn’t feel guilty. She didn’t do anything harmful to the world. She raised her sleeve and wiped the corner of her eyes: “No, nothing.”
The police on duty were skeptical. He turned his head to look at Zhou Lan, but didn’t want to face the flushed eyes. He was shocked, and his left hand subconsciously touched his waist, but before he pulled out the pistol,’Zhou Lan’ had taken the lead. Grabbed his left hand.
“You have to do—”
Halfway through the conversation, the public security officer on duty fell silent, and his eyes slowly turned red.
“He” said: “Okay.”
On the other side, Zhou Lan’s body trembled, holding on to Teacher Zhou’s shoulder, and slowly recovering.
“Xiaolan.” Teacher Zhou said anxiously.
“It’s okay.” Zhou Lan patted Teacher Zhou’s hand for comfort. She raised her head to look at the’Public Security on Duty’ with a torch-like stare: “Ask me what I think?”
Sure enough, she was a real sister, and her tone of voice was exactly the same as Teacher Zhou: “Die well, die clean.”
He Duanfeng’s method was just to take her body, but her spiritual consciousness was still there, so she saw everything that happened just now.
Seven years ago, she graduated from junior high school and was assigned to Xujiacun. There were five girls and two boys with her.
Xujia Village is located deep in the mountains and old forests. Such villages have one thing in common, that is, they are very poor.
On the first day they arrived in Xujia Village, the villagers rushed around and said: “The leader has sent us a big girl. The leader knows that we are short of girls here. If there is no big girl sent by the leader, we will get married. Can’t get married.”
At that time, she felt uneasy in her heart.
The next day, the captain of the production brigade in the village led a dozen young men to the educated youth spot to give the female educated youth a blind date.
The female educated youth were unwilling at first, so the old captain asked them three questions: “Are you ungodly to root in the countryside? Discuss with your family? Do you want to listen to your father or the leader?”
At last he said: “You don’t have the enthusiasm for revolution!”
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls were so excited by the old captain when they were young and vigorous. The four girls among them who wanted to draw a line with the petty bourgeoisie got excited and agreed.
Zhou Lan thought about her parents who were far away in the capital. The other girl was purely because she didn’t like the man in Xujiacun, and she wanted to return to the city one day. The two clenched their teeth and refused to let go of agreeing to marry a villager in Xujia Village.
The nightmare began.
They completely lost contact with their families. The production team arranged for them the dirtiest and most tiring work, but the work points earned every day couldn’t even fill their stomachs.
The two persisted for a year, but finally succumbed.
Zhou Lan and Xing Min got married, and the other girl married Xing Min’s cousin.
After getting married, she learned that not all villagers are eligible to marry an educated youth. With such a good welfare, the cadres of the production team will certainly have limited consideration of their relatives. Xing Min is the nephew of the captain of the production team.
And why are the people of Xujia Village keen on forced marriage of young women?
Poverty is only one aspect. After all, a bride price is required to marry a wife in the countryside. Even when it is the most difficult time, it is inevitable to give dozens of catties of grain. If you marry female educated youths, you can avoid this expense because of their My natal family is thousands of miles away.
The most important thing is that because the villagers of Xujia Village have been closed for hundreds of years, the phenomenon of close relative marriage is very serious. This has caused more than half of the villagers in Xujia Village to have physical defects. How can people in the nearby villages be willing to marry their daughters? Enter such a house.
Xing Min is one of them. He is mentally ill. He looks normal during the day. When he becomes ill at night, he even beats his parents. Of course, after she married into Xing’s family, the person who was beaten became her.
The day of marrying the Xing family is still worse than life.
She was not reconciled. She dreamed of escaping from Xing’s house and Xu’s village. Until the end of last year, by chance, she ran into an old classmate in the village.
The other party was also an educated youth sent to Yuanzhou, but she had a good fate and married the son of the secretary of the commune. Then she was sent to the medical school by her in-laws. After graduation, she went to the county hospital as a doctor. This time she came to Xujia Village to respond to the government. He called on going to the countryside to give free medical consultations to poor farmers.
After hearing what happened to Zhou Lan, she was filled with righteous indignation and promised Zhou Lan to help her escape from Xujiacun.
She helped Zhou Lan open a medical record, and then asked her father-in-law to help Zhou Lan get a certificate of sickness and a letter of introduction.
With these, Zhou Lan fled back to the capital.
She stole Xing’s savings deliberately.
The’Public Security on Duty’ said angrily: “Just forget about Xing Min. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is more than guilty, but those three children, those are your biological children—”
Zhou Lan said blankly: “But who told them to be Xing Min’s species? Every time I heard them calling Xing Min’s father, I would like to choke them to death. Anyway, there are three of them, one is lame and the other is dumb. One is mentally ill just like Xing Min. It’s better to die.
What’s more, she didn’t take the money, where did she get the travel expenses back to the capital.
People are not for themselves, and the earth will die.
The’Public Security on Duty’ opened his mouth and said, “You, you are a lunatic.”
Zhou Lan sneered: “If you live for six years in that situation, you will also be crazy.”
Zhou Lan paused, and continued: “What’s more, don’t just eat the savings of the Xing family. Where did the Xing family’s savings come from? When I married to the Xing family, his family was almost unable to open the pot. After I became an educated youth in my home village, the government gave me subsidies and the production brigade kept withholding them. After I married Xing Min, the money went to the Xing family. I took my own money and it was justified.”
“you-“
The ‘police on duty’ had a blue face, and he opened his mouth, only to find that apart from saying that the tiger poison does not eat, he seemed to be unable to find anything to refute Zhou Lan.
“Alright,” Song Fengchen said, “Friends of Taoism, now the ins and outs of the matter have been said very clearly, I ask you, first, the Xing family became resentful ghosts after their death, but because they are extremely evil?”
The “police on duty” had a complicated expression, and when he thought of the eight lives killed by the Xing family in Xujia Village, the answer was obviously yes.
“Second, should the Xing family’s death be blamed on his poor family or Zhou Lan’s cruelty?”
The eyes of the ‘police on duty’ flashed slightly, and these two options were simply not comparable.
“Third, Zhou Lan married into Xing’s family, but she voluntarily?”
The ‘police on duty’ sank and was forced.
“Fourth, who can she blame for her living in Xujiacun?”
The ‘police on duty’ was completely silent.
“It can be seen that in this matter, Zhou Lan has been a victim from beginning to end. You said, fellow Taoist, why do you think that it is a matter of course to exchange Zhou Lan’s life for Xujiacun’s seventy lives?” Song Fengchen Shouted.
