Wen Jing rode on a bumpy tractor into the village, and many people stared at her on the road.

The country has been cracking down on thieves recently, so you have to look twice at every stranger you see. Plus, she was dressed in rags, so the thief looked like a refugee from somewhere else.

Many people's eyes lit up.

"Whose daughter is this?"

"Which village are you from, girl?"

"Wow, such a big cock, whose relative are you visiting?"

Wen Jing answered every question of these seemingly simple villagers very well.

"I am the younger sister of Xu Li's wife."

"My sister is about to give birth, I came to see her."

"I don't know where my sister lives. Where does she live? Can you help me find the way?"

When the villagers heard that they were looking for Xu Li's home, their expressions changed. Some of them even had a hint of regret on their faces. They just pointed in a direction and stopped talking.

There were also some people who had a gleam of light in their eyes, but they didn't let Wen Jing see it. They were very eager and personally took her to find Xu Lijia.

When Wen Jing saw their regretful expressions, alarm bells rang in her heart and she thought of the worst.

Could it be that my sister has died in childbirth?

I hurriedly followed the guide and looked for it.

Xujia Village is quite small. As soon as I entered the village, I saw my sister working in the fields with a hoe and a big belly from a distance.

Wen Jing looked at her sister still alive in front of her, and she felt relieved, but tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"sister....."

When Wenjuan heard the sound, she looked back while holding her hoe.

He saw his own sister standing on the edge of a field not far away, and she was dressed like she was fleeing.

She shouted in disbelief, "Jingjing?"

Wen Jing dropped what she was holding and ran over to hug her, crying loudly, "Sister, it's me, sister, I miss you so much, I miss you so much, wuwu...wuwu..."

The body temperature in her arms finally made Wenjuan realize that her sister had really come to see her.

He hugged her excitedly, "Jingjing, I miss you too. I think about you every day."

Those who led the way confirmed Wen Jing's identity, exchanged glances with each other, and left without further ado.

The two sisters talked about their longing for each other in the fields for a long time. When their emotions subsided, Wen Jing looked at Wen Juan seriously and found that the sister in her memory had changed a lot.

In her memory, her sister was a pretty girl before she got married. But the sister in front of her now had sunken cheeks, dark and rough skin, and was incredibly thin. Her belly, which was seven months pregnant, looked extremely large, and there were many cigarette scars on her exposed arms.

When Wenjuan saw Wenjing noticed the wound on her arm, she rolled up her sleeve in panic.

Wen Jing suppressed her murderous anger and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to go home?"

When Wen Juan thought about the days she had lived here, she burst into tears and said, "Jingjing, I want to go home. I don't want to stay here anymore."

"Where do you want to go back to? This house is yours!"

The voice was so vague that it was hard to hear what was being said.

Wenjuan's body shook, and she stopped crying in fear and looked back.

They saw a middle-aged man with gray hair standing not far away, carrying a hoe on his shoulder. His trouser legs were rolled up high, revealing his legs covered in mud. He was smoking a pipe in his mouth, and his droopy triangular eyes were staring at them through the smoke.

Wen Jing was a little confused. Is this Xu Li?

He then became very angry. His father actually married his sister to an old man who was almost his age?

Wen Juan was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, but she still whispered in her ear, "This is my father-in-law, you should call him Uncle Xu."

Only then did Wen Jing see that the old man had both legs intact and was not a cripple. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was not Xu Li.

Sensing her sister's fear, she reached out and held her hand to comfort her, then turned back to look at Xu Yaozu with a smile on her face, "Hello Uncle Xu, I'm Wen Jing, I'm here to see my sister today."

He pulled Wen Juan to the edge of the field and picked up the chicken she had just thrown. "Uncle, my sister is about to give birth, so I brought two chickens here to nourish her body."

Xu Yaozu glanced at her through smoke. Although the girl was wearing rags and had a dirty face, her facial features were very pretty. She would definitely be beautiful after washing herself. Compared with the dark and skinny Wen Juan next to her, she was like a fairy.

He smiled with his big black teeth showing, "Hey, Jingjing, right? I've always heard my daughter-in-law mention you. It turns out you're such a beautiful girl."

"Have you told me about them?"

When Wen Juan heard this, she knew what Xu Yaozu meant, and instinctively stood in front of Wen Jing to block her.

Wen Jing looked at Xu Li's disgusting eyes and immediately smiled very sweetly, "Uncle, I'm not married yet. My family is arranging a marriage for me, but I don't know who it is."

This made Xu Yaozu's eyes widen and he couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey, what's the point of just standing here and talking? Come on, let's go back to the house. I went to the market this morning and just bought half a pound of meat." After saying that, a man happily led them home.

Wenjuan squeezed Wenjing's hand with some concern, and Wenjing shook her head at her and gave her a reassuring look.

The Xu family's home was not far from the field, where there was a large area of ​​mud houses, the kind commonly seen in rural areas, but the Xu family's looked particularly special.

Very good, and very bad.

At first glance, the house is located in the center of the mud houses. It has a simple shape and is surrounded by a courtyard. The whole house is built with blue bricks, which is rare. There are many exquisite carvings on the door beams and walls.

But the house was very dilapidated. The walls had many cracks along the base, and the carvings were smashed, leaving none intact. Some tiles on the roof were also missing, and a piece of plastic sheet was just laid on top, making it look out of place.

Xu Yaozu didn't feel embarrassed at all about his shabby house, and enthusiastically introduced what each room was used for.

He was also very proud of the fact that his ancestors had produced several top-ranking scholars in the imperial examinations, who became high-ranking officials, while he himself was a young master and was served by others.

Perhaps it was too noisy outside, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the house. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was tall and gave people a quiet and bookish temperament. "Dad, is there a guest at home? This is..."

Wen Jing was confused. Is this Xu Li? So young? She looked at his legs carefully again. His legs were not lame.

Xu Yaozu bared his teeth and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my second son Xu Ye, Xiao Ye, and this is your sister-in-law's younger sister Wen Jing. Uh... Jing Jing, how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Ah, then my Xiaoye is one year younger than you. Xiaoye, call me sister."

Xu Ye obediently called out, "Hello, sister," and then stopped talking.

Wen Jing politely replied, wondering, where is Xu Li? Then she thought, he must be lying in the room because of his inconvenience.

I didn't want to ask, thinking I would go and meet him when I had the chance later.

After Xu Yaozu finished the introduction, he took the two roosters from Wen Jing's hand without any hesitation and said, "Let's stew this chicken for lunch today, and keep the other one for later." He also touched her hand and went to the kitchen happily with the chicken.

Wen Jing felt so disgusted that she got goosebumps all over her body.

The desire to kill immediately flared up.

Wen Jing glanced at her sister standing next to her and suppressed her murderous rage.

Repeat to yourself three times in your mind: killing is against the law, killing will lead to jail time, and killing must be punished by death.

She still wants to live a good life with her sister, and there is no need for her to pay with her life for this old man.

Xu Ye felt ashamed after seeing his father's behavior just now, and apologized in a low voice: "Don't mind, my father is just like that, there's nothing I can do."

Wen Jing's expression looked better now. There was still a normal person in this family. She waved at him and said, "It's okay."
