Chapter 18
18. Come
Zhao Shufen didn't care about this, she said in a bewitched way: "Xiaoling, you said you don't know many people outside, so can you go and tell your aunt to help me introduce one in their village, your aunt Their village is much more prosperous than ours, where they can eat a bite of white rice, unlike ours, where they eat corn paste every day, and your aunt’s corn paste is used to feed pigs.”

Zhao Shufen was so bewildered that she wanted to marry outside. Zhao Xiaoling was made into one head and two big by Zhao Shufen. She could only blame herself. She had brainwashed Zhao Shufen before, telling her that outside is better than the village, but now she doesn’t come Ask her to marry someone.

Zhao Xiaoling could tell that if she didn't agree to Zhao Shufen today, she wouldn't let it go.

"Okay! Xiaofen, if there is a chance, I will help you ask my aunt to see if there are any young people in their village who are suitable for you. If you have one, you are lucky, and if you don't, there is nothing you can do."

Zhao Shufen breathed a sigh of relief, "If not, then I will accept my fate."

Zhao Shufen brought the water to Zhao Xiaoling's house and poured it into the water tank.

"The water tank is not full yet, I'll help you pick another load."

Zhao Xiaoling couldn't twist her, so she let her go.

Zhao Shufen took two more trips to fill up the water tank in Zhao Xiaoling's house.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaoling got up to clean the house and warmed up the pheasant soup and pancakes left over from yesterday. Grandma also woke up and ate the chicken soup soaked noodles, her complexion was ruddy.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Grandma, you rest at home, I'll go to the field to see if the wheat can be harvested."

"I went to see it yesterday, and it can be harvested long ago. Let's go harvest together today!"

"Grandma, you are not in good health yet, so stay at home with peace of mind! I can go alone. Besides, the person who reported the crime yesterday may come back with someone today. When they come to understand the situation, the family must also Someone."

Grandma agreed to report to the police in a panic yesterday, but now she calms down, she feels a little uneasy.

"Xiao Ling, will the police really come?"

"Yes! As long as you report a case, and it's a murder case, they will come to investigate."

"Will that take Liu Guihua away?"

"If it was really her who poisoned her, she would definitely catch her."

"How will you punish her if you take her away? Will you shoot her?"

"I will not be shot, but I will definitely be imprisoned."

Grandma was a little apprehensive, "My original intention was to scare her, but I didn't expect to send her to jail."

Zhao Xiaoling said bitterly: "Grandma, she is the one to blame for being in prison. She wants to put you to death. Such a person should be shot. She doesn't deserve your sympathy."

Grandma Zhao remembered what happened yesterday, and she felt terrified. If her granddaughter didn't bring Dr. Niu back in time, she would have died long ago, so she silently agreed with her granddaughter's words, but she was still uneasy.

"Grandma, the police will come later. What they ask you, you must tell the truth and don't hide it for her."

"Xiaoling, after all, Liu Guihua is the mother of three children. Can you put her in jail?"

Zhao Xiaoling stomped her feet angrily.

"Grandma, I don't know what to say about you. Your character is too weak, which is why you have been bullied to this extent. Liu Guihua wants your life, but you don't even have the heart to let her go to jail. If I I couldn't make it back yesterday, she killed you, and I was living a hard life, so I had to go to my aunt, hurt my aunt, and make my aunt have a bad life. Can you forgive Liu Guihua after such a result? Forbearance to others is Why don't you understand how cruel you are to yourself!"

Thinking of the tragic fate in her previous life, Zhao Xiaoling couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing her granddaughter crying, Grandma Zhao panicked. She hurriedly wiped Zhao Xiaoling's tears with her sleeve.

"Good granddaughter, don't cry, don't cry, grandma is fine, grandma won't leave you alone. Grandma is really confused. Do whatever you want! Grandma has been too tolerant to Liu Guihua these years, so You have been wronged, this time, she went too far, and I will not be polite anymore, I can do whatever I want, and she deserves to be in prison."

Zhao Xiaoling wiped away her tears and said, "I went to the field to cut the wheat, you should take good care of yourself at home, if the police come, send someone to the field and call me back."

"Okay, I'll have someone call you back, I can't handle it alone."

Zhao Xiaoling took water and a pancake, put on a straw hat, and took a sickle, and went to the field.

The land was reclaimed by their own family. The mountains were mostly rocky, and there was a lack of water. The land was very thin, and the crops that grew were not good. During the turmoil, other places classified the land as a collective, but Zhaojiagou did not. All kinds of land.Because there are no landowners in Zhaojiagou, these lands are not good. Anyone can reclaim a piece of land as long as they want.

In the early 80s, other places re-implemented the responsibility for land contracting, and divided the fields in a bustling manner, but Zhaojiagou was very peaceful, and people repeated their day-to-day lives in this barren land.

At the beginning, it was cool in the morning, and Zhao Xiaoling worked very happily. Gradually, the sun came out, and it became hotter and hotter. Zhao Xiaoling stood in the field cutting wheat, as if being roasted in a steamer.

Zhao Xiaoling made a rough calculation in her heart, the harvested wheat of this season, converted into money, is only 80 yuan. For the 80 yuan, she and her grandma have carefully tended the wheat for more than five months. The labor cost is too high. After half a year of hard work, the harvest can only be regarded as half full.

The result of Zhao Xiaoling's calculations is that it is not cost-effective to farm here.

After harvesting the wheat this time, I will no longer farm the land. There are thousands of ways to make a living, and farming here is the worst policy.Farming here can only be doomed to be poor for a lifetime.

Zhao Xiaoling decided to leave here, and her idea of ​​going outside became more determined.

At noon, Zhao Xiaoling drank all the water and ate the pancakes she had brought, and decided to go home and wait until the afternoon became cooler before harvesting. She didn't want to suffer from heat stroke because of this little bit of wheat.

On Zhao Xiaoling's way home, several children ran towards her and shouted loudly from a distance: "Sister Xiaoling, there are people coming from your house. They are from outside. There are four or five of them."

The person who reported the crime must have brought someone back.

Zhao Xiaoling ran forward quickly, "Did my grandma call you here?"

"That's right, it was your grandma who called us."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoling took the children and ran to the village, and quickly left the children far behind.

Before arriving home, Zhao Xiaoling saw many people around the door.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoling came back, people took the initiative to make way for her.

In the yard, several people in white uniforms were talking about Grandma Zhao.

When Grandma Zhao saw Zhao Xiaoling, she came up to meet her and said, "Xiaoling, are you finally back?"
