Chapter 6 Retirement (2)
Just taking the confession is not enough, Tian Shao also paid 160 yuan for reputation damage.
Ge Honghua thinks it's too much, because a worker in the county town only earns about 20 yuan a month. She pulled Tian Shao aside and said, "Big girl, if this matter gets out, people will think you are greedy for money, and it will be difficult for you to talk about kissing in the future."
Tian Shao asked in surprise: "Aunt Ge, there are only six of us here, as long as everyone doesn't tell us, who will know?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shi Tiesheng and asked, "If I hear even half a word of gossip outside, I will send this confession to the police."
Shi Tiesheng quickly said: "Don't worry, I won't say a word. If I say it, I will kill my children and grandchildren without a place to die."
He's remorseful now. If he had known Tian Daya became like a rakshasa ghost after throwing himself into the river, he should have agreed to withdraw from the marriage just now, and if he hadn't run over, he wouldn't have been beaten up and lost so much money.
Tian Shao snorted coldly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard: "Wash the blood off your head and face and get out."
With Tian Shao holding the handle, Shi Tiesheng didn't dare to object, he tidied himself up and left in a hurry.
Captain Tian saw that the matter was settled, and left with Ge Honghua. After they got out, he said to Ge Honghua: "Don't tell anyone what happened just now, otherwise it will be your fault if this girl really gets upset and throws herself into the river."
Ge Honghua paused, and said unnaturally: "Captain, look at what you said, how can I talk nonsense about such things."
"It's good to know." After finishing speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Li Guihua waited for Captain Tian and the others to leave, and rushed over to **** the money from Tian Shao. That can't wait look, as if the money will be gone later.
Tian Dalin looked at Tian Shao and frowned and said, "Big girl, we shouldn't want this money."
Tian Shao asked very strangely: "The fraudulent marriage surnamed Shi ruined my reputation, why can't I ask for compensation? And only after he has paid the price, will he know that our family is not easy to mess with, otherwise he will definitely retaliate against us."
Everyone is like this, those who are stupid are afraid of being stunned, those who are stupefied are afraid of violence, and those who are stupid are afraid of death. Shi Tiesheng knew she was ferocious, so he didn't dare to attack casually.
Tian Dalin thought it made sense after hearing this, and said after a moment of silence: "Since the divorce is over, you are not allowed to do stupid things anymore."
Li Guihua's heart skipped a beat. Since her daughter woke up, she has become strong and fierce, and she is a completely different person from before. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked strong and calmly: "Big girl, why are you suddenly so strong that you kick someone to the ground with one kick?"
Tian Shao had already thought of an excuse, and said: "It's not because of great strength, but because of cleverness. These are all taught by Grandma Zhu. I didn't use them before, so I didn't let you know."
When Daya was six years old, she accidentally knocked her head while carrying Erya on her back to hunt pigweed, and she bled a lot. It happened to be seen by an old man named Zhu Yuxiu back in the village. She applied medicine to stop the bleeding of Da Ya, and it was also because the medicine she gave did not leave a scar on Da Ya's forehead.
Zhu Yuxiu's husband is from Tianjia Village, and he and Tian Dalin have not been married for five times. When Daya was five years old, she came to Tianjia Village with her husband's ashes in her hands, but no one had seen her before. It was only by relying on her husband's marriage certificate and three merit medals that she successfully settled in the village. At that time, my family persuaded her to adopt a child, but she didn't agree, so she lived alone.
When Da Ya was eight years old, she accidentally broke her leg, and the people sent by the team didn't take care of her wholeheartedly. Da Ya saw it when she went to visit, and reported it directly to the captain, and then took the initiative to take care of the elderly. Washing and cooking, serving tea and water, serving with all my heart.
Once Zhu Yuxiu's legs recovered, he taught Da Ya how to read. Da Ya is very smart and has endured hardships. With the help of the old man, she obtained her primary school graduation certificate through self-study.
In that year, the old man Zhu Yuxiu died of illness. Before she died, Zhu Yuxiu told her to keep studying and strive to get her junior high school diploma. Also because of her dying words, Da Ya studied hard and got her junior high school diploma.
Li Guihua asked again: "Big girl, at the beginning of the year you fell and left a big scar on your arm, do you remember where you fell?"
At the beginning of the year, because Erya was dissatisfied with Sanya's disobedience to her, she casually picked up a stick with sparks on it and threw it at it. When Tian Daya saw that she stepped forward to stop her, the fire stick landed on her arm and burned a big piece of it.
Li Guihua secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that her daughter was not possessed by a water ghost. That's good, if you are possessed by a water ghost, you have to ask a sorceress to exorcise the evil spirits.
Tian Dalin didn't think too much, looked up at the sun above his head and said: "Okay, let's go to work quickly."
After finishing speaking, he left, and now he can earn two or three work points.
After Li Guihua took the money into the house and hid it, she hurried out with a **** on her shoulder.
Tian Shao felt very tired, covered his head and went back to sleep. Seeing Wuya following closely, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, the marriage is over, I'm sure I won't seek death again, go play your tricks!"
She fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, and the sun had already set when she woke up. When she walked out the door, she saw Sanya washing rice and Wuya feeding chickens.
As soon as Sanya saw her, she asked with a smile, "Sister, are you feeling better?"
Tian Shao saw that she was about to pour out the rice washing water, so he quickly took a wooden basin to fill it in: "Don't pour out the rice washing water from now on, use the wooden basin to fill it."
Now it is a collective system, and the family can only raise chickens but not pigs, so it is useless to keep the rice washing water and just throw it away.
Sanya asked strangely: "Sister, what do you want this rice water for?"
"Wash your face."
Washing the face with rice water can whiten the skin, but there is no other way, because we are too poor to afford whitening skin care products. Of course, even if she had money, she couldn't buy it. Therefore, only the most primitive method can be used.
One white covers all ugliness, on the contrary, once it turns black, most of its appearance is lost. Da Ya doesn't know how to take care of it, she will take good care of this face.
"Ah, wash your face with rice water? Isn't that dirty?"
"Rinse with rice washing water first, and then rinse with well water."
Sanya glanced outside, then lowered her voice and said, "If Second Sister knows, she will definitely scold you again."
There is no pressurized well in their house, and the water for drinking is taken from the well at the entrance of the village. On weekdays, Tian Dalin was the one who carried the water, and if he was busy, it would fall to Erya Tian. It's not that Tian Daya is lazy, but that Erya is strong.
"She dare not scold." She is not the original body, if scolding is rude to her, let her taste what it is like to be oppressed and beaten.
After Tian Shao washed his face, he went to pick vegetables in the private plot in the backyard. Because there are seven people in the family, more than seven percent of the private land is divided. They have a large population but only one strong laborer who gets full marks, so two-thirds grow sweet potatoes, and the rest grow vegetables.
There are still a lot of varieties in the vegetable garden, including peppers, loofahs, beans, bitter gourds, and water spinach. Tian Shao picked a basket of vegetables such as peppers, loofahs, and eggplants before returning.
There are only oil and salt in the kitchen, but the oil is still lard and has bottomed out. Tian Shao sighed, he had to go to the city to find a job as soon as possible, otherwise he really couldn't live.
It took a lot of effort for Tian Shao to cook three dishes and one soup, which were stir-fried bitter gourd with hot pepper, fried beans with eggplant, hand-patted cucumber, and loofah egg soup. It's also fortunate that I knew how to cook some home-cooked dishes in my previous life, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to eat dishes made only from Da Ya's memory.
Sanya said worriedly: "Eldest sister, you have used up all the oil, mother will scold you to death when you come back."
"Don't worry, Mother won't scold me." Today, she got a compensation of 160, if Li Guihua scolded her, she would definitely back it.
