Chapter 1197 Two Days Later, Overseas
Two days later.
A peaceful seaside village.
Wang Ping, a muscular fisherman, was taking care of his fishing net and said to his mother in the house: "I won't come back for lunch at noon. I will row farther away from the village chief today. It rained heavily the day before yesterday and the water rose quickly. These two days The fish in the sun are easy to catch.”
Mrs. Wang, who was making bread pancakes, responded, packed several more steamed buns for her son, stuffed them into a cloth bag, and said, "Remember to eat. If you have to stay until night, don't go hungry."
Wang Ping said "hmm" and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard the silly voice of a woman in the distance.
"Ahahahahaha, ahahahaha..."
Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "That silly girl from the Li family is making trouble again. It's so early in the morning. She's so annoying."
Wang Ping laughed dryly, looked towards the source of the sound, and said, "She is the only one left in her family. No one cares whether she is stupid or not. Let it be."
Mrs. Wang glared at Wang Ping unhappily: "Why, do you still remember what happened before? I told you that it was not an engagement between the two of you, and now that people are like this, let alone it, I tell you, you Walk around the spot for a while, don’t let that fool see you again!”
Wang Lao Niang is a powerful woman. Wang Ping and his wife depend on each other, and they don’t dare to disobey. He said “hmm” again, but he couldn’t help but said something on behalf of the silly girl from the Li family: “Later, you can give her a gift.” Let’s get some steamed buns, otherwise she will be hungry again today.”
"You are really..." Wang Lao Niang wanted to scold her son for being troublesome, but she swallowed the words and dealt with it casually: "Okay."
Wang Ping didn't know if my mother was perfunctory with him, but he had already done what he should do. As my mother said, they were indeed not engaged before, but now he was unwilling to marry such a crazy fool, so he simply didn't mention it. .
After Wang Ping left home, to his surprise, Mrs. Wang, who was usually timid, actually took a steamed bun and two pieces of sesame seed cakes and walked to the former yard of Li's house.
Heishui Village is an area as big as a palm. There are a total of thirteen families in the village. They are all neighbors and old acquaintances. Some of them got up late and were washing up by the door. When they saw Mrs. Wang walking towards Li's house with a plate, she couldn't help teasing her. : "Why are you so kind today?"
Mrs. Wang waved her hand: "Go, it's none of your business."
The silly girl in Heishui Village, Li Yu'er, turned out to be a normal girl, but later she became stupid, and Father Li died, and she became a complete orphan who was disgusted by dogs.
There are soft-hearted people in the village who occasionally give the silly girl some food, but they always do it at night to see what leftovers they can get after dinner.
Mrs. Wang walked to the door of Li's courtyard and looked at the half-broken gate and the weeds growing beside it. She said something sinful and shouted inside: "Yu'er, Yu'er."
After a while, there was a banging sound inside, and then, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old in ragged clothes, with wet hair and disheveled hair, ran out.
The girl's face was dirty, and she grinned when she saw the person at the door. She came over and jumped up and down while laughing.
Mrs. Wang sighed and handed the plate to her: "Take it and eat it. Your Pingzi brother asked me to give it to you."
When the silly girl saw the food, she grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth hungrily. Mrs. Wang thought she was going to finish a steamed bun and two pancakes. After all, the child probably hadn't eaten for several days. But the silly girl finished the pancake and left the steamed bun behind.
Steamed buns are made of fine flour, unlike pancakes, which use brown rice flour, so steamed buns are more expensive. People in fishing villages are not rich, and a family only eats one meal of white steamed buns every day.
The silly girl put the bun in her arms and touched it timidly.
Mrs. Wang looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Put it away if you don't want to eat it. Don't touch it dirty. Now you know how to store food. It's good that you have something to chew on when you're hungry."
The silly girl looked at Mrs. Wang coyly, puffed her lips for a long time and said, "Give it to the child."
Mrs. Wang laughed: "Hey, you have another child? Where is that pillow from last time?"
The silly girl touched her belly and patted it hard: "Baby, baby, baby."
Mrs. Wang laughed again: "You haven't even gotten married yet and you still want to have a baby. Who will give birth to you?"
After the girl from the Li family became stupid, a few gangsters from the neighboring village often glanced here. The village elder was very strategizing. He knew at a glance that these second-rate people were not up to business. He saw that Miss Li was stupid and wanted to take advantage of others, so he immediately beat them up. Got out.
After all, the villagers would always keep an eye on strangers when they met each other. In the past two years, the girl's misfortune was not made worse, at least she was innocent.
But probably because she is too lonely, Miss Li likes to hold a pillow and raise her like a child when she has nothing to do.
Everyone usually smiles when they see it, and some make fun of it. At most, they say: "No one will marry you, a fool. Who will you give birth to?"
At this moment, Mrs. Wang also said the same thing, but Miss Li was not as stupid as usual and didn't know how to reply. This time she replied, pointing into the room as if to prove: "Child, child..." and she pulled her Mrs. Wang dragged the person into the house: "Child, child... mine, mine..."
Mrs. Wang, who was old, staggered twice and almost fell down when she was pulled by this silly girl who didn't know how to restrain herself. She stood up and scolded the silly girl for being stupid while she was dragged into the house again.
As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Wang was stunned.
In the originally empty and dirty Li family hall, among the piles of rag-like quilts, a five or six-year-old boy with pink cheeks and dark eyes was sitting there honestly. When he saw Mrs. Wang coming in, the little boy still He looked at Madam Wang with confused eyes.
"This, this, this child..." Mrs. Wang was shocked.
"Child, kid!" The silly girl ran to the quilt pile and sat down with a smile. She handed the white steamed bun in her hand to the little boy and kept saying: "Eat, eat, eat."
The little boy stretched out his little hand to hold the steamed bun, looked at the dark finger prints on it, was stunned, and then looked at the silly girl.
The silly girl is still saying: "Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat."
The little boy took a bite.
The silly girl jumped up with joy, smiled and pointed at the little boy, and said to Mrs. Wang: "My, my, my, my, my, my, my..."
It took Madam Wang a long time to come to her senses, and she immediately grabbed Miss Li and hit her on the back: "You stinky girl, where did you go and kidnapped a child? Just wait for me and I'll tell you." Village chief, let’s see if the village chief doesn’t beat you to death!”
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she ran out the door. When she got to the door, she shouted at the top of her lungs. Several households nearby were alarmed and came out in twos and threes to take a look.
Miss Li was beaten for no apparent reason. Her eyes were red from the pain. She twisted her hands to touch her back, looked at the child in the quilt, and said with a raised corner of her mouth: "Eat, eat, eat."
The little boy looked at her and then at the villagers slowly gathering outside the door. After a moment of reaction, he stretched out his hand and said to the silly girl: "Come over here and let me see if you are red?"
