Chapter 24: Peel The Skin For The Best Relatives
I can’t stand it here, but…”
“They still dare to whip you, they are not human anymore! I-I have to make it clear to them today.”
No no no, it is obviously useless for you to say it alone. Looking at Lu Zhishu’s face, Lu Anran knew that this person might be able to help him, but he was definitely not Bai’s rude opponent. , maybe shouting out in a few words, everyone is stuck in the quagmire, in order to avoid suspicion, we must keep our distance, so now…
Lu Anran’s eyes darkened, she got up from the ground with pain and panic, hugged Lu Zhishu’s trouser legs and cried and begged: “Uncle Lu, don’t go, don’t go, please. ,do not go.”
Knowing that his position was embarrassing, Lu Zhishu was also confused for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was not qualified to fight for Qin Nian. Can’t.
Then, the rough palm almost rubbed the skin off Lu Anran’s forehead, “I have pity on you.”
“…” Lu Anran sniffed and lowered her head for a long time, “Uncle Lu.”
“Speak, Uncle Lu listen.”
“They… they’re going to marry me to the gangster in town.” After all, Lu Anran couldn’t help crying even louder. He grabbed a lump of dirt on the ground. The palm of his hand was full of mud, rubbing against the crumpled corners of his clothes.
A pair of wrinkled eyes can even be rounded, Lu Anran heard Lu Zhishu ask in surprise, “What did you say?” She looked at the man in front of her the same way, pursing her lips tightly, unwilling to say more.
There is a lot of movement here, people around here from time to time look at it, at first just a glance or two, and finally a few women who are waiting for their old man to eat come close, not coming, just stand At three or four steps away, he pretended to enjoy the cool air, but in fact, his ears were not much shorter than that of a rabbit.
Obviously a brother said this kind of topic is inappropriate, Lu Anran still cried, but more silent than just now, only sniffing his nose and making one or two noises from time to time, he opened his mouth as if Unexpectedly, he talked about it, and finally closed it in despair, burying his head in his trembling shoulders.
Lu Zhishu was obviously dizzy, turned around and shouted: “What are you looking at, the work in the fields is not done?” There were really a few timid ones who were immediately scared away, but most of them were long-tongued women who had experience, rolled his eyes and continued to sit like a fat stake on his face.
Lu Anran didn’t care, but Lu Zhishu’s fingers were trembling, but how could he, a big man, say something to these women, he sat down again after being bored for a while.
“Uncle Lu, I beg you…help…help me.” The half-old child choked out the serious word ‘save”, Lu Anran carefully grabbed Lu Zhishu A small corner of the clothes, “I don’t want to marry, I will die, I will die.” The pale face the size of a palm was full of fear, he was still young and didn’t understand anything, but he had already foreseen it by instinct. to his future.
This is more accurate than rational judgment. Lu Zhishu believed it almost as soon as he said it. If he left it alone, this child would really die.
“Uncle Lu, please, save me, I don’t want to marry a gangster, I will die, I will die.”
To prove the value, the idea is very in line with the current society, which is completely contrary to Lu Anran’s way of life.
Since Bai dared to do it, she had to be prepared for the unforeseen incident. It was like she finally found a trash can. Tears were pouring down, and I couldn’t speak.
But—his reaction speaks for itself.
“Child, he is your father no matter what, how could he marry you to a gangster.” When it comes to parents’ shortcoming, Lu Zhishu didn’t know how to comfort him, his palm seemed to be stuck on Lu Anran’s shoulder. , a little heavy.
“Yes, that’s my father.” Lu Anran looked at him with hazy eyes and sniffed, “Also Qin Zhi’s father, Uncle Lu, Qin Zhi will be handed over in autumn Tuition is over, Bai Jiao is going to get married in two years, and the gangster gave me, me, and my mother three taels of silver, I…”
Lu Zhishu was completely stunned, he couldn’t believe it, but the wound on the child’s body reminded him that he had to believe. Next… humiliate yourself in disguise?
Suddenly remembered the little boy with bright eyes when he was a child, who was circling around his legs for candy, and then recalled that he had been taciturn all these years, no matter when and where he was always hunched over his back like a little old man weak child.
Lu Zhishu’s breathing suddenly became heavier, he took out the dry tobacco bag and knocked it **** the ridge, because the capital had not been lit several times, and the last time the flames almost ignited his fingers, but his skin was rough The flesh is unaware, just blowing out smoke rings one after another, his eyes reddened looking not far away: “Your father… What did you say?” His voice was hoarse, like a whetstone.
Lu Zhishu: “He, did he really agree?”
“Well, he said listen to everything, mother.” This mother Lu Anran gnashed her teeth. When Mrs. Bai first came in, Xiao Qinnian also called her mother, and called him sincerely, but Mrs. Bai treated him badly, and people didn’t take his mother’s name very seriously. In addition, the child was withdrawn and did not speak, so there was no difference between calling and not calling. .
In the smoke, Lu Zhishu had a solemn expression on his face, but Lu Anran did not dare to speak.
As soon as the two fell silent, the surrounding voices became loud and clear.
“Oh, what a sin, such a small child pushed into the fire pit.”
“I just said that the woman is shrewd, but I didn’t expect it to be so cruel. Isn’t this forcing the child king to the end?”
“It’s said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Obviously, if you have a stepmother, you will have a group of enemies. It’s no wonder that I never took the initiative to pick up Qin Nian and were beaten. What has it become?”
Country people are simple, some are greedy for petty gain, some are gossiping behind their back, but when it comes to human life, they always sympathize with the weak, especially after seeing the mottled scars on the children with their own eyes , It was inevitable that he would push himself and others. Thinking of his own children, Lu Anran easily won the sympathy of the women in the village. No matter how Bai Shi thought to be white in the future, the current injury could not be faked.
Lu Anran blinked her eyes, a tear hanging from her eyelashes ran down her cheek and landed on her chin.
There are so many aunts and aunts who are fighting for themselves, so I can see some of Bai’s days in the village in the future.
“I said, Li Zheng, there must be someone to seek justice for their family. Now that my brother is not too young, it is indeed time to get married, but even if we marry a deaf man The blind and the lame shouldn’t marry a gangster in the town. His Qin family is not the one who died early.” Mrs. Wang was originally here to watch the fun, but she didn’t expect to hear such a scourge. .
I feed you a steamed bun in the countryside with a glass of water.
Yes, he must have spent a long time picking up a bundle in the woods. He is a good boy who is grateful and diligent in return.
The relationship between Mrs. Wang and Qin Nian’s mother was alright. They both lived in the same village. When they looked down, they didn’t look up. Seeing this child, they were also distressed, and the first one stood up and said no. Stop talking nonsense.
“Uncle Lu, I…” has never been violent. In front of so many people, Lu Anran put his hands around his chest even more bewilderedly, trying in vain to cover his body with rags, but his cover-up action attracted more people to carefully observe his injury.
“Look at what happened to Brother Nian.”
“My God, that Bai is too ruthless, how ruthless is this.”
“This is really not my child, neither my father nor my mother loves it.”
“It’s better to move out as soon as possible. If you stay here, you may lose your life.”
As long as women are full of maternal love, they can’t wait to hold this poor child in their arms and love them fiercely.
Looking at everyone’s sympathetic eyes, Lu Anran also knew that after today, he might not have a better life in the Qin family than in the Bai family, but—
Lu Anran has learned Pareto optimality. Even if he just read two books with Mu Xiao, he knew that now was not the best time to move out.
