Chapter 2 002: Evil deeds
The custom here is like this, the wife calls her husband the shopkeeper, which symbolizes the man's dominant position at home.
"It's been a while." Wang Tianxiao touched his wife's forehead, and the fever subsided a lot.
My wife, Li Yali, has a typical round face, with full cheeks that look like two apples. Her eyes are big and bright, and because of her kind heart, her eyes are always soft, like a clear spring that makes people peaceful.
At this time, she still had long black hair, which was twisted into braids, as thick as a child's arm, and grew to her waist. Every time after washing, the hair is scattered on the pillow, which can cover the whole pillow.
Later, because of the difficult life, she sold the braids to the children to pay the tuition fees, and changed it to a haircut.
Thinking of the old and haggard face of his wife in the previous life, Wang Tianxiao felt distressed for a while, and gently stroked his wife's hair, helping her comb it neatly.
The efficacy of the medicine in this era is very good, just half a tablet is already very effective, unlike the later generations who take a few pills, taking half a month is like not taking it.
"You haven't eaten, I'll get you something to eat..."
Li Yali struggled to get up, Wang Tianxiao hurriedly held her down, "What are you doing, your body is still moving like this, besides, I'm not hungry, just lie down."
"How can it be... You must not have eaten in the afternoon, your stomach is not good..."
"It's really fine, I'll make it myself if I'm hungry."
Wang Tian Xiaoxin said that even if he wanted to eat, he actually couldn’t get anything to eat. He looked at it just now, and the house was empty. Except for half a bowl of cornmeal, there was nothing else.
This is also impossible.
He only needs thirty-six yuan and fifty cents a month, and it is really hard to feed a family of three.
If some are deducted, it becomes less.
Wife mainly relies on mother-in-law’s support at home.
As for my brothers here...
He smiled lightly, except for the fifth child, there is really no one with a conscience.
Wang Tianxiao's parents had six sons and three daughters.
The son is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and integrity, and the daughter is Mei Lanzhu.
I originally thought that the children could maintain the traditional virtues, support each other, grow the Wang family, and live a prosperous life.
Unfortunately, the sons can hardly describe it in detail.
Don't say that you help each other, if you can not make trouble, and use a knife secretly, you are already Amitabha.
Brothers are few, they are brothers. If there are too many, interests will inevitably be involved, and they will form cliques. Everyone has their own positions, but it just depends on how much they have gone too far.
"Well, if you're really hungry, don't hold on," Li Yali put her face on her husband's heart, and said softly, "You are the pillar of our family, the sky of Fangwa and me, you can't collapse. "
Wang Tianxiao remembered that his wife often said this to him in his previous life, but he didn't pay much attention to it before, and was even a little proud and satisfied.
After being reborn, he has gone through vicissitudes and understands that the family does not pay less to his wife than himself, and that the gentle and virtuous she has to bear his anger due to the hardship and incompetence of life.
She is a very nice woman.
I am ashamed of her.
"Everything you say, even if you don't watch TV, women hold up half the sky."
"What is TV?" My wife asked curiously.
Wang Tianxiao realized that there is no electricity at home now, let alone a TV, so he reacted a bit supernaturally.
"It's an electrical appliance. I'll buy it for you when I have money."
"Okay." Li Yali still didn't understand, but she felt that her husband must have said it, it must be a good thing. Her husband is a person who eats at the public house, and he is well-informed, unlike herself who doesn't understand anything.
Wang Tianxiao was chatting with his wife, worrying about his wife's belly all the time.
In this early morning in the previous life, his wife gave birth prematurely due to the cold weather, and his son Wang Peng was invited to this world in advance because he was still half a month into labor.
As a result, Wang Peng's health has been poor.
Fortunately, the gears of time did not rotate along the original track.
This night, because of the presence of her husband, the wife who was born prematurely at 3 o'clock in the morning slept soundly and passed it safely.
It was past five in the morning, and it was still dark.
The architectural style of the Pit Yard is like this.
People live below, and the chimney will directly lead to the flat ground and be built with adobe (foundation) or bricks.
Because the terrain is very high, the wind effect is very good. Once there is a problem with the chimney, the kang and pot table below cannot be used at all.
If the smoke cannot get out, not only the smoke makes people unable to live, but more importantly, the fire cannot be ignited, and life cannot be maintained normally.
Therefore, when the villagers quarrel, they often threaten each other. If they talk too much, they will fill up the chimney of your house. This kind of threat is no less than murder and arson, and it is a matter of conscience.
However.
On the morning of December 12, 1984, the chimney of Wang Tianxiao's house was filled.
Once the chimney is filled, it is necessary to use a special iron rod to pound debris into the kang tube from above.
It’s okay if the filling is something that can be mashed, but if it can’t be mashed, you can only fiddle with it slowly. It is difficult to apply force at a depth of more than ten meters, and sometimes it takes several days to mash it.
There is no way to light a fire in the winter, and people can freeze to death at minus 20 degrees. In their previous life, they had no choice. The family of four had to go to the child's grandmother's house, and they would come back after finding someone to clear the chimney here.
At that time, the wife gave birth in a hurry, and when the bleeding was severe, she was already very weak, and she went to her mother's house in the wind and snow, and her body was left with irreparable sequelae.
At that time, I didn't know who could do such a wicked thing. It was not until many years later that I accidentally learned that it was none other than the third sister-in-law Yu Xiaofeng who blocked the chimney.
This woman is a typical femme fatale.
My natal family is a typical bandit den. Two older brothers and a younger brother were arrested for robbery and cable theft. My father also ran an underground gambling den and was dealt with in the crackdown.
After she married into the Wang family, she didn't stop for a moment, and kept encouraging the third child to do things inside and out.
The reason why the chimney was filled was because their daughter was growing up and it was inconvenient to live with her parents, so they discussed with the old lady that if the second child Wang Tianxiao's family could move out, they would give up Wang Tianxiao's cave dwelling to them.
With this promise, Yu Xiaofeng bullied Li Yali whenever he could.
For example, in winter, Li Yali deliberately splashed water at the entrance of Li Yali's cave, causing Li Yali to fall, and almost did not cause a miscarriage of the child. Three chicks were secretly thrown into the slop bucket and drowned...
In short, the big evils cannot be mentioned, and the small evils emerge in endlessly.
There were a dozen people, large and small, living in the courtyard of the pit. She refused to admit it, and had no choice but to say it was her.
And she has been pretending to be a good person for a long time, Li Yali still doesn't know that she is the real devil, and treats these things as accidents.
The youngest king, Tianren, doesn't taste like half a cent.
He always values profit, and is a strict wife, so he absolutely supports what his wife says. Even because of his wife's viciousness, his black heart was covered up a lot, and many things were pushed on his wife, choosing himself completely.
In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao attached great importance to brotherhood, and he really thought that brothers had their own difficulties. After a series of more unsightly things happened later, he discovered that these people were all wolves who ate people without spitting out their bones.
Brotherhood is nothing to them.
They not only treat Wang Tianxiao like this, but also fight openly and secretly with each other, especially after gaining some benefits, all of them show their hideous faces.
In this life, I will never give up half a point. Since brothers are ruthless, it is worth noting to be brothers.
His feet were numb from the cold, but Wang Tianxiao did not give up. Compared with the pain of more than 30 years in the previous life, this short wait is nothing.
The only thing he doesn't lack is patience.
At five thirty-six in the morning, he finally heard the sound of the laneway gate, and someone had gone out.
In winter days covered by heavy snow, people usually get up very late. Anyway, they have nothing to do when they wake up. They go out before dawn after five o’clock. Apart from doing bad things, they can’t think of other reasons.
Sure enough, he soon saw that the third sister-in-law Yu Xiaofeng was wearing a big padded jacket without a smock, so he sneaked up to the cliff.
Slipped to the chimney at the back, looked around pretendingly, and after confirming that there was no one there, he took out a bunch of things wrapped in plastic paper from his corn stack, ran to Wang Tianxiao's chimney, lifted the lid, and threw it down.
Wang Tianxiao didn't expect this woman to move so swiftly. He wanted to stop her the moment she was about to throw her away, and catch her.
"What are you doing!"
He yelled fiercely, ran over with big strides, and kicked Yu Xiaofeng on the back. Yu Xiaofeng was about to run away after doing bad things, and was kicked to eat shit.
Wang Tianxiao caught up and shouted loudly: "Yu Xiaofeng, what did you throw into my chimney just now?!"
Yu Xiaofeng never expected that Wang Tianxiao would be outside at this point, she panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do, subconsciously retorted: "Second brother, what are you talking about, I don't know."
As he spoke, he was about to get up and run away.
"Hmph, I don't know, if you still want to tell a lie, then let's call the big guy to get up and see what's in the chimney." Wang Tianxiao held her arm tightly, not letting her leave.
