Chapter 163
A small farce is taking place in a small village in Long'an County, Qiping City.
At the end of Dilong Village, there are three newly-built tile-roofed houses. They are surrounded by a yard of stones, which is tightly surrounded. The front yard and back yard are quite large, nearly an acre of land. Except for the vegetable garden, the ground is covered with bricks. It is paved with bluestone slabs and looks quite impressive.
On the bluestone floor in the middle of the yard, a handsome and tall young man was kneeling. His eyes were filled with anger, as if there were flames burning. Beside him, kneeling was a short and thin figure. He was a thin man. girl.
The courtyard was full of villagers, pointing and talking.
"Ni Wazi is a fool. All the money he received from the army was used to build a house for his unscrupulous father. He didn't hold on to it at all. Now it's better. The house has been built. That unscrupulous smoking dog is not allowed to live there. , but let Widow Na Shen and her fat son live in... I don’t know what Gou Sheng thinks. He doesn’t want his own son or daughter, but insists on raising someone else’s son... How can someone else’s son support him in his old age... … Niwazi was so stupid when he became a soldier that he had no sense of defense against his father who was eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking…”
"Mother Niwazi died early, otherwise, she would probably have to fight a dog today..."
"Is it true that all of Niwazi's retirement pay went to a dog? That's only fifteen thousand, which is enough for us to save for ten or eight years."
"Here you go, what Widow Shen blew out at the end of the village yesterday must be true. One more thing, this house costs a lot of money. Look at the bluestone floor, how clean and bright it is..."
"Niwazi has retired from the army and has no job. Gou Sheng didn't give him any land. How can he support Xia Xia?"
"Xia Xia is already 19. She graduated from high school this year and is ready to get married. She doesn't need to be raised by a child anymore..."
Han Li stared at the empty hall, a chill spreading from the depths of his heart, and the bitterness was firmly suppressed.
Not long after he returned from the army, his father used the excuse of building a new house so that he could find a better home for Xia Xia. He took most of his retirement money and bought the best everything. In less than a month, while he was out doing some errands, his father got married and brought in the widow Shen and the orphans in the village. It was no big deal just to bring her in. He drove Xia Xia to the stable to sleep, and also brought Xia Xia to the stable to sleep. The jade bracelet left by their mother was snatched away and given to Widow Nashen.
He made a fuss and made a fuss. The man who usually showed his teeth and claws at them hid behind Widow Shen and said nothing, letting the shrew roll around.
He is kneeling here now, for no other reason than to cut off the last trace of family ties. As long as his father returns the bracelet, he will take Xia Xia away to make room for the widow and her son.
"Niwazi, Xia Xia, stop kneeling. Your father is simply an old fool. If you kneel like this, your father will never change his mind. The widow has obsessed him and there is no way to save him..."
"Yes, Niwazi, the village chief is right, your father is heartless..."
Han Xia's eyes were red and swollen, and she turned to look at her brother's cold side face, feeling hurt in her heart.
His brother was really heartbroken this time, and her heart became cold earlier than her brother's.
Less than a year after her mother died, her father got married to Widow Na Shen. At that time, she was only twelve years old and didn't understand it very well. Later, when she did, she understood why her father wouldn't let her go every time. She had enough to eat, because he still had a family to support. If my brother hadn't mailed the tuition fees to the village chief every time, and the village chief personally paid it to the school, she might not even be able to go to school.
"Brother, let's leave here and go to another city." If the trees are moved, they will die and the people will live.
As long as she leaves this suffocating home, she and her brother can live a good life wherever they go.
Han Xia stood up and looked at the empty hall indifferently, with deathly silence in his eyes.
Han Li stood up, his bloodshot eyes also filled with indifference, "Okay, let's go, but before we leave, I have to do something."
Han Xia watched her brother stride into the living room. Soon she heard Widow Shen's screams and their father's curses. Soon her brother came out with something.
"Brother?" It wasn't until Han Li approached that Han Xia saw clearly that what he was holding was her mother's only relic, a jade bracelet.
Two figures finally rushed out of the living room, the embarrassed but fierce old woman, and Han Jian, who had a sullen face and wanted to bite the two siblings alive.
"Little beast! Return your mother's jade bracelet, or I will go to the army to sue you!!" Han Jian's thin face was full of anger and disgust, as if the person in the yard was not his newborn daughter, but his enemy. .
"I'm retired from the army." Han Li smiled, the depths of his pupils were extremely cold, "In this apartment, Xia Xia and I have repaid your kindness. From now on, we are no longer a family."
……
On the train, it was noisy, with the cries of children, the shouts of salespeople, and the sounds of people chatting together. It was just like Han Xia's mood at this time. Although it was a little uncomfortable, there was an indescribable feeling. of ease.
The invisible shackles disappeared without a trace from the moment she followed her brother on the train heading north.
Han Li looked at the joy that could not be concealed in his sister's eyebrows and smiled helplessly, "Are you that happy?"
When he made the decision to break off the relationship, he thought his sister would be sad. After all, after his mother left, he knew how much his sister longed for his father's attention.
"Dad, he is not good to us, so I don't need him anymore. I have grown up now. When I settle down and save more money, I will continue to study. After studying, I will earn more money..."
"You're all obsessed with money."
"Money is a good thing, who doesn't like it? By the way, brother, does the Yuan security team really have such a high salary?" She saw the notice that brother brought back from his comrade's house. The salary of the security team is really high. , 1800, she can earn back all her brother’s retirement fees in one year, and there is more.
