Rebirth 1983: Murakami's Wife Wants a Divorce

Chapter 4 Go to the county seat

Oil lamps are like beans.There are many shadows.

I'm not dead?
Liu Ye's eyelids moved, and he saw Li Cuiyu's anxious expression swaying in front of him.

"Uncle Ming, Xiao Ye is awake!"

Li Cuiyu wept with joy, and held Liu Ye's hand tightly, as if afraid that he might fly away.

"Little Ye!"

The old captain Liu Hanming also cried out excitedly, feeling relieved.

Liu Ye wanted to move, but his whole body hurt.Especially the back, it is estimated that a piece of meat has been torn off by the claws of wild wolves.The piercing pain made him grin his teeth and gasp.

"Sit up and drink some rice soup."

Li Cuiyu helped Liu Ye up and let him lean against the head of the bed.Then feed Liu Ye a small spoonful.

Liu Ye drank the rice soup happily, and the guilt in his heart increased a bit.

Such a good wife, why didn't I know how to cherish it in my previous life?

Seeing that Liu Ye was fine, Liu Hanming found an excuse and left.

The two baby girls sat beside Liu Ye, one on the left and the other on the right. Their faces were full of pride.

Huahua: "Father, many people came to our house just now, and they all said you are a great hero!"

Linlin: "My father is a hero! Who dares to compare with my father when he killed two wolves by himself!"

From the mouths of the two daughters, I learned that all the neighbors in the village could come to see him.

While drinking the delicious new rice porridge, Liu Ye asked, "Honey, isn't our house running out of rice?"

Li Cuiyu: "I borrowed five liters of rice from Grandma Shan's house, and I will return it to her when we get the rice."

The third grandmother is the old woman of Liu Zushan's family.She is Liu Zushan's third wife, and it is said that she came to Yanzi'ao from a province in the southwest to beg for food.

Liu Zushan had a violent personality all his life and also practiced martial arts.Few people in the village dared to provoke him.His first wife gave birth to two sons, who later died of dystocia.The second wife gave birth to two more sons.The couple had a fight, and soon his wife died inexplicably.

The year Grandma Shan came to Yanziao, Liu Zushan was already 60 years old.He is 63 this year.

The two of them had four sons in name, but none of them were actually born to Grandma Shan.

Even if it was Liu Zushan's own son, none of his sons treated him well, and he received less than a cent of alimony throughout the year. In his 60s, he still has to plan food from the land, otherwise he will starve to death.

What surprised the villagers was that Liu Zushan beat and scolded the two wives in front of him, but he was surprisingly good with Grandma Shan and listened to her very much.

Li Cuiyu said: "I heard that you were injured, and everyone in the village is in a hurry. Grandma Shan gave us a small bottle of aged rapeseed oil. She said that this stuff has the effect of promoting muscle growth and removing poison. I have just rubbed all over your body. Rapeseed oil was applied to the two wounds."

Hearing this, Liu Ye couldn't help feeling a little moved.

In the previous life, after Liu Zushan died, Grandma Shan had no biological son, so she was kicked out of the house by those rebellious sons, and once again embarked on the old road of begging.

Afterwards, we never heard from her again.

Liu Ye said with wet eyes: "Grandma Shan has treated us so well, we can't treat her badly. Her sons are definitely unreliable. Once the old man dies, I want to support her."

Li Cuiyu was silent for a few seconds, and said, "That's up to you. You can't even manage to eat three meals a day, so what are you talking about helping others?"

Liu Ye said firmly: "Cuiyu, early tomorrow morning, I will push them to the vegetable market of 713 Factory to sell them for money."

Li Cuiyu gave him a blank look, and asked: "You owe Xie Bin gambling debts, if he sees him, why won't he rob you of your money?"

"Then go to the vegetable market in the county town. Anyway, this is what I bought with my life, so there is no reason not to turn them into money. Besides, these are wild game. People in the city still like them, and they can be sold for a good price."

"I think it's ok. But wait for your injury to heal."

"Wait until my injury recovers? How is this possible? I'm sleeping, and I'm trying to get up in the middle of the night. Huiyu, help me go to the captain's house and borrow a scooter."

"Ok."

……

From Yanziao to Raozhou County, there are [-] kilometers away.

The roads in this era are all dirt roads, so there are no cement roads or asphalt roads.

"Ash on sunny days and mud on rainy days" is the best portrayal of highways in this era.

Three in the morning.

Enduring the severe pain, Liu Ye loaded two wild wolves and a hare onto the flatbed truck and prepared to go on the road alone.Li Cuiyu also got up.

She said weakly: "Liu Ye, you just suffered such a serious injury, and I am worried that you have to walk thirty miles alone. I want to go to the county seat with you."

Liu Ye was a little embarrassed and asked, "What about Huahua and Linlin?"

Li Cuiyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll let them go together."

Huahua and Linlin are still asleep.Li Cuiyu carried them to the flatbed cart, but they didn't wake up either.

Two wolves and a hare were packed into snakeskin bags and placed behind the flatbed.Steelyards, machetes, etc. are packed in another bag.Huahua and Linlin's two daughters slept on the front of the flatbed.

Liu Ye was pulling the cart in front, and Li Cuiyu was pushing the cart behind.Relying on his memory, Liu Ye quickly found the road leading to Raozhou County.

Around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Ye's family had entered the county seat.

Huahua and Linlin also woke up.

What they saw were five or six-story high-rise buildings, and the roads became very wide, and they became excited all of a sudden, chattering and asking non-stop.

It was also the first time for Li Cuiyu to come to the county, so she didn't know much about the county.The task of answering the two daughters will be completed by Liu Ye.

When they learned that this is the county seat, they yelled: "I'm going to study in the county seat in the future. This place is much better than our village!"

Cars and bicycles have gradually increased.Sirens and bicycle bells sounded from time to time in the street.

Although the county town floor at this time was not as high as later generations, the street market was not as prosperous as later generations.But it was enough to stimulate the nerves of Li Cuiyu and her two daughters.

Seeing them so happy, Liu Ye had mixed feelings in his heart.

Such a backward county made them happy.If we let them know how prosperous the future generations will be, will their brains be able to turn around?
No. 20 Dongsheng Road.County market.

Liu Ye pushed the flatbed cart to the entrance of the vegetable market, and immediately felt worried.

Every stall in the vegetable market seems to have an owner. Where is the place where you can sell wild game?

At this time, a middle-aged woman in a business uniform came in from outside with a receipt in her hand.Liu Ye quickly went up to meet him, and asked with a poignant smile, "Comrade, may I ask where there are still booths?"
