Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Widow Jin's full name is Jin Cui Lian. She is not yet twenty years old this year. She has a fair and delicate face. Before she got married, she was one of the most famous people in Jingyuan Commune.

The man she married was called Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng was a tall and strong young man, and he also had some martial arts skills.

Wasn’t the corn in the field eaten by wild boars before the autumn harvest?

The young man had a bad temper. He was so self-righteous that he went into the mountains alone to seek revenge on the wild boar.

As a result, he never came back.

The body was discovered by villagers who went into the mountains to pick mushrooms: the eyes were wide open, and half of the body was eaten by a wild boar. The death was very tragic.

In this way, Jin Cui Lian, who had been married for less than two years, became a widow, leaving only her, her child who was less than one year old, and her father-in-law in his forties at home.

At that time, ordinary families lived in poverty, and the old man was irresponsible. All the food in the family was eaten by him, which caused Jin Cui Lian to lose her milk early.

Even the one-year-old Maodan, who should be chubby at his age, is extremely thin.

That day, Xu Damao came to Jingyuan Commune for the first time to show a movie. The old secretary thought of Jin Cui Lian's family, with its old and young, and that life was not easy, so he planned to arrange the reception dinner at Jiang's house.

Before entering the door, Xu Damao heard some noise in the house.

The sound of a child crying and Widow Jin shouting in panic: "Dad, what are you doing? I'm Mr. Jiang's wife! If you do this again, I'll scream!"

Then the rough voice of Jiang Sheng's father Jiang Liansheng came out again: "Cui Lian, don't waste your energy. The commune is showing a movie today, and the 80-year-old lady next door has gone to join in the fun. No matter how loud you shout, no one will come."

"You are a member of our Jiang family. Now that Ah Sheng is gone and I don't have a wife, why don't we just get together.

When there are outsiders around, we are the daughter-in-law and the father-in-law, but when the door is closed, we are just a couple sleeping on the same kang;

Cui Lian, just be obedient and obey your father. I promise that from now on, the food in the house will be given to you and the baby first."

Then there was the sound of a chair falling and a woman crying sadly.

The old secretary couldn't help blushing when he heard the noise. He finally asked the projectionist to come down, but this happened right under his nose.

This is really ash!

If the news gets out, will Jingyuan Commune still have a good reputation? Will the young men in the village be able to find wives?!

So the old secretary made a prompt decision and kicked the door open.

In the room, Jiang Liansheng had already pressed Jin Cui Lian down on the kang. He held her hands on top of her head with one hand, and used the other hand to unbutton her clothes.

Jin Cui Lian struggled hard, but was ultimately no match for her father-in-law's strength. When the old secretary entered, most of her buttons had been undone, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin as she struggled.

Jiang Liansheng's eyes turned red with anger, and he couldn't help but speed up his movements.

The old secretary pointed at Jiang Liansheng and shouted angrily:

"stop!"

"Jiang Liansheng, you shameless bastard, you actually did such a thing.

You are such a beast! Cuilian is your daughter-in-law, and you actually had the guts to do that to her!"

......

When Jiang Liansheng heard the old secretary's voice, his legs went weak and he slid off the kang, sitting on the ground, at a loss.

Although the old secretary is old and looks like he is no match for a strong man like Jiang Liansheng, Jiang Liansheng would not dare to fight with the old secretary even if he had ten times the courage.

At that time, village party secretaries and commune secretaries were all made through force, especially the old party secretary. At least half of the young and strong people in the village were the old secretary's nephews or nieces.

Fight him? Maybe you think your life is too long?

In the past, there were some outsiders who didn't believe in superstition and argued with the old secretary, calling him an old fool or something like that.

At that time, the old secretary just smiled and said nothing. He also stopped the village boy who wanted to teach the outsider a lesson.

As a result, after a few days, the stranger went into the mountains to collect firewood as usual and never appeared again.

Can you believe that a living person disappeared out of thin air and the entire commune turned a deaf ear to it?

No one even stood up to ask a question, including the stranger's relatives and neighbors.

In those days, criminal investigation methods were backward and there was no surveillance. If someone was killed, they could just throw him into the mountains without anyone noticing. This was not uncommon.

But everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this, which is what makes people feel scary.

Jiang Liansheng was a relative of the old secretary, so he had no intention of resisting when facing the furious old secretary. After he came to his senses, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting that he knew he was wrong and would never do it again.

Widow Jin huddled at the foot of the bed, looking at the newcomers in fear. Her clothes had been torn, her hair was a mess, and she looked so pitiful...

When Xu Damao saw this scene, he immediately thought of Qin Huairu. He swallowed his saliva, walked forward, put his arm around Jin Cui Lian's shoulder and whispered to comfort her.

Jin Cui Lian was so panic-stricken that she relied on Xu Damao for support and cried loudly while leaning on him.

The old secretary looked at Jiang Liansheng, who was crying bitterly, and then looked at Jin Cuilian, who was so aggrieved that she was hugging the projectionist. He kicked Jiang Liansheng in disgust and said, "Come out with me!"

Jiang Liansheng quickly stood up, lowered his head, and followed the old secretary out of the dilapidated house.

......

Inside the room, Xu Damao hugged Jin Cui Lian and whispered to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, please stop crying. It's okay now."

"With me, Xu Damao, here, I will make sure that no one else will bully you."

"Secretary Jiang and I have a good relationship. If you are wronged, just tell me and I will ask the old secretary for help."

Jin Cui Lian cried for a while and then came to her senses, finding herself leaning in Xu Damao's arms with her clothes in disarray.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she tried to pull her clothes together while sobbing, but her clothes were torn due to her intense struggle.

Thinking of the recent series of tragic experiences, Jin Cui Lian couldn't help but burst into tears:

"Woo..."

"Why do I have such a miserable life?"

"My man is gone, and some second-rate guy outside wants to take advantage of me, but I end up with an immoral old man. I..."

"I might as well just die..."

Xu Damao held Jin Cui Lian in his arms and said a few words of comfort. Then he took out a few cloth coupons and five yuan from his pocket and said sympathetically, "Sister-in-law, you should be more open-minded. The child is still so young. What will he do if something happens to you?"

"Your clothes are all torn like this. Take these coupons and money and buy yourself a piece of cloth to make some clothes."

Jin Cuilian's crying stopped abruptly. She was at a loss as she held the money and cloth coupons: "Brother, this...

It’s not easy for anyone these days, so I can’t take advantage of you for nothing…”

"Hey, sister-in-law, you still don't know what I do, right?" Xu Damao waved his hand and said casually:

"My name is Xu Damao, and I'm a projectionist at the Sijiucheng Steel Mill."

"You know what, projectionist? Although the salary in our line of work is not high, we can earn a lot of extra income. We can earn a month's salary just by going to the countryside. So this little thing in your hand is nothing to me."

"Besides, sister-in-law, you are so pretty but you don't even have a set of clothes to wear. How will you look when you go out?"

"Won't someone take advantage of you?"

As soon as Xu Damao's half-persuasive, half-complimentary words came out, Jin Cuilian's mood suddenly improved a lot. The projectionist in front of her was a person that even the commune secretary had to please, but now he praised her, a rural widow, for her good looks. Her face immediately blushed: "Brother Xu, you are making fun of me. I am just an ordinary rural person and don't deserve your praise."

Seeing Jin Cui Lian's slightly red face, as if she was shy but also happy, Xu Damao became even more excited, and continued to praise her as if he didn't need any money for his nice words: "Hey, you are not joking!"

"I've been to many places in the surrounding area of ​​Xu Damao, but this is the first time I've seen a girl as pretty as my sister-in-law. She must have been very popular when she was a girl, right?"

"Brother Xu, you are joking." Although Xu Damao guessed correctly, Jin Cui Lian was reluctant to agree rashly and only replied in a low voice.

For a moment, the two of them leaned against each other tightly, and an unknown feeling gradually rose between them.

At this moment, Jiang Liansheng, a strong man in his forties, returned to the house again.
