Three Women in the Cage

Later, Liu Fang dropped out of school. She neither asked her parents to come to the school to ask for an explanation nor told Teacher Wu. She just left the school quietly and everything returned to normal. It seemed that her departure had no impact on anyone, as if that person had never existed and no one cared about her.

On this day, Yang Yu went to the market early in the morning to buy things. In the crowded market, she unexpectedly ran into Tian Yun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Yang Yu was the first to call out "Sister-in-law!"

Tian Yun smiled and said: "Hey, sister-in-law! I haven't seen you for a long time. Didn't you say you were going to my third brother's place? Why are you back again?"

Yang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I came back early. They are all big bosses. I am just a poor man, so I won't join them..."

Tian Yun understood the meaning behind the words and agreed: "Yeah, how could those rich people like us poor people? I figured it out a long time ago and decided not to provoke them."

The two seemed to have found a common topic, and they chatted with each other, complaining about the snobbery of the third brother's wife and Yang Su.

As they were talking, Yang Yu asked about Tian Yun's recent situation: "Are the children all right? It must be hard for you to raise these children alone. Young Yang is older now, so he can help a little."

Tian Yun said with emotion: "Yang Qing dropped out of school this year. I found her a job as a cotton fluffer at the market. She earns 200 yuan a month, which can help to supplement the family income."

Yes, given their family's situation, it was indeed difficult for Tian Yun to support them alone. Yang Qing's poor academic performance and dropping out of school to work could also help a little. Yang Yu didn't say anything about this. She was not the eldest brother's child, so Yang Yu didn't care whether she dropped out of school or not.

Yang Yu said with relief: "With Yang Qing's help, you will feel more relaxed."

At this point, Tian Yun suddenly felt embarrassed and said shyly: "Oh, what can she do with 200 yuan a month? She needs to find a man to help her, so that she can feel at ease."

When Yang Yu heard her words, he asked cautiously: "What? Do you have someone you like?"

Tian Yun blushed and looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "I have something to tell you. Don't tell anyone, especially my parents and my third brother. I don't want them to know."

Yang Yu glanced at her and said defensively, "Oh, tell me, what did I say to them? I've lost contact with them for a long time."

Tian Yun felt relieved and said mysteriously, "They introduced me to a man who is said to be from the village next to yours. His name is Li Jian. Do you know him? What is he like?"

After Tian Yun finished speaking, she looked at Yang Yu with sparkling eyes, waiting for her answer.

When Yang Yu heard her talk about the next village, his heart began to tighten, and when he heard the name again, his heart skipped a beat.

She was very familiar with Li Jian. He was an old bachelor from the next village. He was already forty years old this year and was lazy and gluttonous. He never worked on the farm at home and just ate everywhere. He acted like he was full and the whole family was not hungry, so he went around begging for food and drink.

That’s not all. He often does petty thefts and looks like a ruffian. How can such a person support a family?

Another point is that this man likes to provoke widows and women whose husbands are away from home for a long time. There was a time when he occasionally came to provoke Yang Yu, but was severely scolded by Yang Yu and sent away. How can such a person be a suitable match?

But she couldn't say these words directly. She wanted to see Tian Yun's attitude first, so she asked tentatively: "Have you met? What do you think of him?"

Tian Yun showed a little shyness and said: "We have met a few times and I feel okay. I just wanted to ask for your opinion. Now we are the only ones who kiss here, so of course I want to hear your thoughts."

Tian Yun understood Yang Yu's opinion. After all, getting someone's blessing is better than no blessing at all.

Seeing her satisfied look, Yang Yu couldn't bear to see her go astray. That man was not someone she could trust at all.

After thinking about it, Yang Yu said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, if you want to find a man, I don't object. After all, it's hard for you to take care of so many children by yourself. But you don't understand Li Jian. He is not worthy of your trust. He is a waste who only eats and waits for death. If you find him, you will only be dragged down by him. He can't even support himself, how can you expect him to help you and raise your children? I'm afraid he will rely on you and wait for you to serve him with good food and drink."

After hearing what Yang Yu said, Tian Yun's face gradually darkened. She had seen the man before, and he was not what Yang Yu said. It must be that Yang Yu was jealous that she found a new partner so quickly, or he didn't want a strange man to come to her parents' home.

Yes, that must be the case. Tian Yun said unhappily, "I know very well what kind of person he is. You don't understand him, and that's right. After all, we are from the next village, how can you understand him? But it doesn't matter. I understand him, and I think he is quite suitable. Besides, in a situation like mine, it's good enough that someone is willing to have me. How can I be as arrogant as you, clinging to Erfa and carrying a family alone? I can't do that. I need a man. I need a man to help me carry the burden together."

Seeing Tian Yun's sullen face, Yang Yu felt a little unhappy. He was obviously doing this for her own good, but not only did she not appreciate it, she also gave him a cold shoulder. It was simply like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how to appreciate a good person.

She was unwilling to see her two nephews being abused by Tian Yun and Li Jian, so she suppressed her unhappiness and tried to persuade them: "Sister-in-law, I know you want to find a man to help you, but you can't just find a man casually! This man is really not good enough. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the children! The two nephews are still young. If you add another burden, won't the children suffer more? Man, it's not too late for you to wait until you meet the right one! Why him, and why are you so anxious?..."

At this moment, Tian Yun is like a sweet love trap. A woman who is just beginning to fall in love will jump into it stubbornly even if it means she is like a moth to a flame. She will automatically block out all the bad things and is determined that she has found a man she can entrust her life to. The road ahead is her road to happiness, and she will not allow anyone to shatter her dream halfway.

So she yelled angrily: "What's wrong with me choosing him? I just think he is good. I'm not asking you to live with him. I don't know what you are worried about. Why can't you just bless me? You have to say a lot of words to stop me. You just can't stand me doing well, right? You just envy me that I have changed men again. You just don't want me to live a good life. How can you be so cruel? Ah, you want to live a hard life, a life without a man, and you want others to follow you? I tell you today, I won't listen to you. I don't want to live a hard life without a man like you. What's wrong? This is my own life. I will live it the way I want. Don't interfere in the future..."
