Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 48 The Village Really Can’t Survive
At this moment, Ma Lai Tou's parents also hurried over.
When he heard that his son was taken away by the police station, Ma Lai Tou's father was so anxious that he stamped his feet and cursed him as a "spendthrift".
When Ma Lai Tou's mother heard that her son's thigh was poked by Hu Qiongfang with a shovel, her eyes rolled, and she lay down on the ground, crying out in pain.
"I only have this one son! Hu Qiongfang, you have to compensate me for my son!"
Hu Qiongfang's face turned pale.
She had heard before that this rascal's parents were very difficult to deal with. Not only were they greedy and lazy, but they also particularly liked to take advantage of others.
If it weren't for this weird pair of parents, Ma Lai Tou wouldn't have still not found a wife until now.
Not to mention the innocent young lady, even the widow who lost her husband looked down on this family .
Unexpectedly, this family could not tell right from wrong to this extent.
In today's incident, it is obvious that Ma Lai Tou failed to harm someone and ended up suffering the consequences. The person has been arrested by the police station. How dare Ma Lai Tou's parents still have the nerve to cry out for injustice here?
Hu Qiongfang was so angry that she couldn't speak.
But Jiang Tian has something to say.
Seeing that the parents of Ma Lai Tou were clearly trying to blackmail them, Jiang Tian's eyes rolled, and he immediately pointed at Ma Lai Tou's mother lying on the ground and shouted -
"You came at the perfect time! I was just worried about finding someone to compensate me."
Lose money?
Who loses money?
Wasn’t it Malaitou who was injured and went to the health station?
Why does Jiang Tian keep asking Ma Lai Tou’s parents to pay compensation?
The villagers who were eating melons stopped immediately and watched with great interest.
Jiang Tian suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms and started crying aggrievedly.
"Mom! We can't live in this village anymore. Let them compensate us and we can move out, okay?"
"Today there are black scoundrels, but tomorrow there may be white scoundrels and black scoundrels. They all want to bully us orphans and widows!"
"If Sister Miaomiao and I hadn't happened to go to the river beach to play today, you would be all alone. What if you were bullied?"
When these words were spoken, the women in the village became angry.
Is there any young girl or wife in this village who has not been taken advantage of by this scoundrel?
Those cunning eyes staring at me were like a stink bug, so disgusting that I didn't dare to take a picture of them.
Anyone who has been infected by bedbugs knows that these creatures cannot be killed. Even if they are killed, the foul odor will linger for several days and is extremely disgusting.
Malai Tou is such a bug.
If you argue with him, you will be the one whose reputation will be damaged in the end.
Don't bother about it. His lustful eyes staring at me make me feel uncomfortable.
There are quite a few people like him in the countryside. Many girls who were shy before marriage had to turn themselves into fierce shrews under such unscrupulous eyes.
In the countryside, if you don’t have a fierce personality, anyone can come and bully you.
They are better off because they have men at home. The idlers and hooligans in the village can only look at them for fun at most.
If it were someone like Hu Qiongfang, with no man in the family, I don’t know how many idlers and hooligans would target her.
If Hu Qiongfang hadn't brought her two children with her today, she might have been killed by that scoundrel .
At that time, this gangster will use this to threaten Hu Qiongfang, and then marry her home. He won't spend a penny and will get a beautiful wife for free.
No wonder he had been squatting on the riverbank for several days. He probably just wanted to take action when there was no one around.
When her daughter started crying, Hu Qiongfang couldn't help crying too.
Now, the villagers were no longer in the mood to gossip.
If you think about it carefully, Hu Qiongfang is a widow with two children, helpless and pitiful enough. Today, she was almost killed by an old pervert like Ma Lai Tou... Oh! How pitiful.
The women were filled with righteous indignation, and they all helped Hu Qiongfang to curse Ma Lai Tou's parents.
Hu Cuizhi was particularly angry, pointing at the mother of the traitor and cursing: "Just be thankful! If it had been a few years earlier, a scoundrel like your son would have been shot for insulting a woman."
Amitabha!
In the early years, the state's convictions for hooliganism were much more severe than they were decades later.
Let alone the unsuccessful rape case like Ma Lai Tou, even those hooligans in a certain place who not only failed but also beat women would have been tied up and taken to the threshing ground for a criticism meeting more than ten years ago, and then dragged away and shot.
The onlookers nodded repeatedly, that's right!
Who doesn't have a wife and children? According to them, a scoundrel like Ma Lai Tou should be shot to death, so as not to stay in the village and make everyone in the village live in fear.
When Ma Lai Tou's mother saw that no one spoke for their family, she got up dejectedly, still yelling, "If my son gets a limp, I will never forgive your family."
Then he and the old man ran in the direction of the tractor.
Hu Cuizhi was worried that her old sister would be upset, so she and several other sisters-in-law accompanied Hu Qiongfang back home and comforted her.
Hu Qiongfang wiped her tears and took the opportunity to tell him about her plan to move.
Hu Cuizhi was shocked.
"Moving? You have two children with you, and the contracted land is also in the village. Where are you going to move to?"
Hu Qiongfang smiled bitterly: "Cuizhi, you can see that this village can no longer accommodate the three of us, mother and daughter."
"My son Chengcheng is usually so well behaved in school, with good grades and he is even the class monitor. But what happened? He almost had his legs broken by those fifth graders."
"After my Le Ping passed away, I didn't mess around with people outside, but today I almost got ..."
As she spoke, Hu Qiongfang's tears began to fall.
The sisters-in-law who came back with him couldn't help but tear up.
These days, it is really difficult for a woman to live a good life .
Those who are married are worried about being bullied by their own men.
Those who don’t have a man are worried about being bullied by all the men in the village.
Why do they have such a miserable life?
Several women hugged each other and cried for a while. Hu Qiongfang wiped her tears and comforted her good sisters.
"Cuizhi, I have arranged for Chengcheng to transfer to another school. He will be enrolled in the township's central primary school in a few days."
"It just so happens that Miaomiao's parents have run a breakfast shop at the fork of the provincial road for several years. Miaomiao's mother and I hit it off right away and have become sworn sisters. I want to move closer to the provincial road so that my two children can go to school closer. We are an orphan and a widow, and there will be someone to take care of us there."
Hu Cuizhi opened her mouth and wanted to ask Hu Qiongfang if she wanted to move back to her parents' home.
But then I think about the situation at Hu Qiongfang's parents' home... Forget it, if Fangfang could rely on them, how could the mother and her two children be bullied like this?
only--
"If you move away, what will happen to the family's contracted land?"
Hu Qiongfang just wanted to ask them.
"I want to rent out my three mu of paddy fields. I don't want much. Just pay the public grain tax for my family every year and give me 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of wheat per mu of land."
