Siheyuan: Domineering life

It is naturally a good thing for Yi Qiushui and Lin Qiuyue to recognize each other.

The two sisters held hands and talked about endless topics, from childhood to adulthood, and the suffering they have suffered over the years.

Alas, the two of them have been crying since they started chatting.

When Yi Qiushui saw Lin Qiuyue's current situation, she felt even more distressed and shouted to take them out of this poor place immediately.

"Sister, the four of you will come back to Peking with me, and I will take care of you from now on. Don't worry, my sister's family situation is not bad, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."

Yi Qiushui held Lin Qiuyue's hand and said with tears in her eyes.

Lin Qiuyue did not refuse, and smiled and said to Yi Qiushui: "Okay, sister, everything is up to you."

Lin Qiuyue has had enough of her current life, and she doesn't want to stay in this small mountain nest anymore.

In addition to facing the problem of having four mouths to eat every day, she also had to worry about harassment and gossip from the men in the village. She was really fed up with these days and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

Lin Qiuyue's three children stood beside their mother. They were very well-behaved and sensible. Even the three-year-old Hu Sandan didn't cry or make a fuss. He looked at the room full of strangers with his big eyes in his sister's arms.

"Okay, you can clean up here. We will go back to the county town together today, and then I will take you to meet your parents tomorrow, and then return to Peiping the day after tomorrow." Yi Qiushui said.

"Yeah, okay sister."

Lin Qiuyue said, "Sister, tell me more about our parents. I'm very curious about what kind of people they are."

Yi Qiushui: "Sister, let me tell you, our parents are amazing..."

In the room, Yi Qiushui and Lin Qiuyue were chatting.

Yang Jun was bored, so he waved to the three children and took them outside, leaving time and space for the two sisters.

"Da Ya, what grade are you in?"

Yang Jun and three children were sitting on the front steps chatting.

The three children were a little embarrassed and spoke cautiously.

"Uncle, I don't go to school."

"Not in school?"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment: "My family is poor and I have no money to pay tuition?"

Hearing this, Hu Daya nodded.

"All the family money was spent on dad's medical treatment, and there was no extra money for me to go to school."

Lin Qiuyue's husband contracted tuberculosis a few years ago and had to take medicine and see a doctor all day long. All the family's money was spent on him, and there was no extra money to send their children to school.

"What about Erya?"

"My younger sister didn't go to school either. After my father died, the family owed a huge debt and it hasn't been paid off yet," Da Ya said.

When Yang Jun heard this, his heart felt as if a big stone was blocked.

He gently stroked the heads of Daya and Erya, and said softly: "It's okay. When you return to Peking, my uncle will send you to school."

"Really, uncle?"

Da Ya was happy for a moment, and then her face drooped again.

"Forget it. I'm getting older. Let Erya go to school. I'll stay at home and help my mother work."

When Yang Jun heard this, he felt distressed and said: "Silly boy, you all go to school. After arriving in Peking, you don't have to do anything, just wait and enjoy the happiness."

Upon hearing this, Daya's eyes lit up with hope again.

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, we are all family."

After chatting for a while, the distance between them gradually narrowed, and the three children also fell in love with Yang Jun.

They gathered around Yang Jun and asked this and that.

"Uncle, do everyone drive cars in the city?"

"Uncle, do you all live in cement houses?"

"Have you ever eaten popsicles?"

"..."

Yang Jun smiled and patiently answered their questions one by one, and promised to take them to eat all kinds of delicious food after arriving in the city.

"Uncle, are you a cadre? Are you a senior official?"

Daya held her chin in her hands and looked at Yang Jun with wide eyes.

"Well...my uncle is a cadre, an official, neither big nor small." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"That's great. My uncle is a cadre. No one will dare to bully us in the future." Erya said enviously.

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this, and then gently touched her head with his hand.

The world of children is simple and innocent. Some things that may seem trivial in the eyes of adults are considered big events in their world. When they heard that Yang Jun was doing well in the city, their eyes were filled with the light of hope.

While Yang Jun and a few children were chatting, a group of people suddenly rushed over from down the hillside.

They looked like locals at first glance. They were all holding wooden sticks, shovels and farm tools in their hands, and they looked like they were looking for someone to fight for.

The leader was an old man in his sixties, holding a harpoon in his hand and striding towards Yang Jun.

Upon seeing this, Sun Zhaocai and the others subconsciously surrounded Yang Jun.

"That's them."

The leading old man glanced at Yang Jun and said to the people behind him: "This is the man who wants to take my daughter-in-law away. Everyone, please fight me."

When Yang Jun heard this, he immediately knew who the old man was.

He claimed to be Lin Qiuyue's father-in-law. If his guess was correct, this person was Hu Haitao.

Seeing Lin Qiuyue's father-in-law, Yang Jun immediately realized that the man in front of him was the man who adopted Lin Qiuyue back then.

It was this man who made years of searching for relatives in vain.

It was this person who caused the separation of Yi Qiushui's sisters.

When Yang Jun found out about the person in front of him, he immediately became furious, and an inexplicable hatred surged into his heart.

However, what he didn't expect was that Hu Haitao would be so brave. He didn't go to him to settle the score, but he actually dared to bring someone to his door.

"Call me."

Hu Haitao roared and then led a group of people to charge over.

When Yang Jun saw this, he sneered.

"Play with them, don't kill anyone."

When everyone heard this, they smiled knowingly.

He rushed over eagerly.

Especially Ding Erzhu and Sun Zhaocai, when they heard that there was a fight, they were very excited.

He crossed his fingers with his hands, made a crackling sound, and then rushed over with a howl.

"boom!"

Ding Erzhu charged forward and knocked away the five or six people in front. Sun Zhaocai, who was a step late, pounced in the air and crushed three or four people at once.

When the remaining people saw this, they did not come forward and continued to stay beside Yang Jun.

Those villagers had no professional training, so they were no match for Sun Zhaocai and the others. In less than a minute, more than 20 of them were all knocked to the ground.

"Thirteen."

Ding Erzhu cast a contemptuous look at Sun Zhaocai.

"Bah, I'm only thirteen, you're twelve, and I hit the last one."

Sun Zhaocai refused to admit defeat, and the two began to quarrel.

When Yang Jun saw this, he stood up and gave each of them a large sum of money.

"You two guys, get out of here."

After saying that, he turned around and came to Hu Haitao's side.

"Are you Lin Qiuyue's father-in-law Hu Haitao?"

Hu Haitao was punched in the nose. Half of his face was swollen like a pig's head, and blood was still oozing from his nostrils.

After hearing this, Hu Haitao endured the pain and sat up from the ground, wiped the blood on his nose, raised his head and rolled his eyes.

"I am Zhao Qiuyue's father-in-law, who are you?"

At this time, when he heard Yang Jun call Lin Qiuyue instead of Zhao Qiuyue, he immediately smelled a bad smell.

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this.

"I am Lin Qiuyue's brother-in-law. Specifically, I am Yi Qiuyue's brother-in-law. Do you understand what I say?"

When Hu Haitao heard this, he turned his head to one side.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. There is only Zhao Qiuyue here, not Yi Qiuyue."

When Yang Jun heard this, he sneered coldly: "Okay, stop pretending to be confused."

"Hu Haitao, are you worthy of the person who entrusted you with your care?"

"How can you bear to see their flesh and blood separated?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you raised Yi Qiuyue, I would definitely send you underground to apologize to Yi Qiuyue's parents."

Hearing this, Hu Haitao frowned and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that Zhao Qiuyue is my daughter-in-law. Lin Qiuyue and Yi Qiuyue have nothing to do with me."

When Yang Jun heard this, he snorted coldly: "Old man, don't be so shameless."

"To tell you the truth, I came here today to take away all four of Yi Qiu Yueniang. You have to leave if you don't let me."

"You can leave if you want, just step over my body."

Hu Haitao stood up from the ground, as if he would not take a step back.

At this time, Yi Qiuyue and her sisters came out of the house quickly after hearing the noise.

Seeing the people lying all over the yard, and seeing the blood on her father-in-law's face, Lin Qiuyue quickly came over to support Hu Haitao.

"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you still fighting?"

Yang Jun said: "Your father-in-law didn't let me take you away, so he brought these people here."

A simple sentence made Lin Qiuyue understand what was going on.

She said to Hu Haitao with a bitter face: "Dad, to tell you the truth, for this family, for the three children, for my sister, and for myself, I must leave here. No one can stop me."

She has had enough of this kind of life without a meal. Now that the sisters know each other, her sister's family's financial situation is not bad and they are willing to help her. Naturally, she does not want to continue to stay in this poor ravine, even if it is not For herself and her three children, she had to fight hard.

When Hu Haitao heard this, he was so angry that his beard and hair stood out.

He tilted his head and said to Lin Qiuyue: "You mean you don't want me as your father anymore?"

"Are you worthy of our Hu family? Are you worthy of your dead man?"

Lin Qiuyue looked guilty when she heard this.

However, just for a moment, her expression suddenly changed.

"Dad, if you say so, we will carefully break it apart and mash it up so we can chat about it."

"If you hadn't deliberately said that I had smallpox, I wouldn't have been separated from my family, and my fate would never have been like this."

"You have caused me such misery, and I don't care. It's a way of repaying your kindness in raising me."

"From today onwards, our fate is over and we will never owe each other again."

When Hu Haitao heard this, he was so angry that his chest heaved with anger.

"Okay, okay, this is the daughter I have raised for more than thirty years. She is like a white-eyed wolf."

After saying that, he turned back to the villagers behind him and said: "Young and old men, you have all seen how my Hu family treated her, and what she did to our Hu family. Such an ungrateful person is simply unworthy of being a human being."

Sure enough, his words had an effect.

The people who came with him immediately started to criticize Lin Qiuyue. "Qiuyue, how can you do this? As a human being, you must repay kindness and never be ungrateful."

"Yes, your father-in-law has raised you since you were a child. If you don't say repay the favor, that's it. How can you repay the favor with the enemy?"

"Qiuyue, your father-in-law treats you well. I think you can just stay in the village with your three children. Life outside has nothing to do with you."

"..."

Faced with everyone's moral kidnapping, Lin Qiuyue's always timid and cowardly character instantly compromised.

Seeing that she was about to retreat, Yi Qiushui stood up.

"Shut up, everyone."

Yi Qiushui walked up to those people and pointed at Hu Haitao.

"I'm Lin Qiuyue's sister. Let me tell you what's going on."

So, in front of everyone, Yi Qiushui told the story of how her parents had entrusted Hu Haitao to take care of their children, and then how they sent several waves of people to find relatives, and then how Hu Haitao deceived the relatives. The ugly crimes of the people were also listed one by one.

"Tell me, should I take my biological sister away, and should Hu Haitao, who did such evil things, die?"

Yi Qiushui put her hands on her hips and questioned them with wide-open almond eyes.

After hearing what happened, those people were no longer as emotional as before, and all of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

If Hu Haitao did such a thing, why would they have any reason to help him?

However, Yi Qiushui underestimated the shamelessness of these people.

They relied on the fact that they were from the same family, and said with an attitude of helping relatives but not taking care of others,

"But even if it's like what you said, you can't just take someone away. No matter how it was before, Lin Qiuyue is now the daughter-in-law of the Hu family. She belongs to the Hu family. The Hu family will naturally decide whether she stays or goes. .”

One clan member said.

"Yes, after all, I have raised her for decades, so I can't just take her away."

"That's right, this is our Hu family's business. You outsiders have no right to interfere in our own family's affairs."

Listening to their shameless words, Yi Qiushui was so angry that her face turned livid.

"Shut up, you bunch of bitches."

Yi Qiushui had never lost her composure like she did today, and was forced to curse loudly. This was completely inconsistent with her usual self-cultivation.

"Am I an outsider?"

Yi Qiushui pointed at herself, then laughed angrily and said, "If I were an outsider, who do you think you are?"

"Today, I am going to take my sister away. Let me see who dares to stop her."

Hearing this, Hu Haitao took a step forward and stopped in front of Yi Qiushui.

"If you want to take away my daughter-in-law, step over my body first."

Yi Qiushui smiled when he heard this.

Then he suddenly shouted: "Zhao Di."

Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed behind him.

"boom!"

No one could see what was going on. Hu Haitao landed five meters away like a kite with a broken string, his huge body kicking up dust all over the ground.

Hu Haitao's chest heaved violently, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, his eyelids rolled up, and then he passed out.

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other and subconsciously took a step back.

The whole yard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

For a long time, no one dared to make a sound.

"Who else is going to stop me now?"

Yi Qiushui looked down at the crowd with the attitude of a god trying to block gods and Buddhas, her eyes filled with determination that had never been seen before.

The people in the Hu family looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Finally, an elder in his fifties came out.

He came to a stop more than two meters away from Lin Qiuyue, and said in a consultative tone,

"Qiuyue, do you really want to leave? What will your father-in-law do if you leave?"

Seeing her sister venting her anger for her, Lin Qiuyue felt happier than ever before.

The repressed life of so many years was finally released. At this moment, she felt that it was a blessing to have a relative by her side.

"Third uncle, I must leave, and this will never change."

"As for my father-in-law... I just said that from now on, we will not owe each other anything. From now on, the road will turn toward the sky and we will each go our own way."

Third uncle: "But..."

The third uncle hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "You can take the girl with you and we won't stop you, but can you leave San Dan behind so that you can leave some roots for the Hu family?"

Lin Qiuyue refused without thinking.

"Third uncle, I'm sorry. I can't keep any of my children. They are all flesh and blood that fell from my body. It is not easy for me to reunite with my family now. I will not leave any of them behind."

"Qiuyue, third uncle, please keep Sandan. If you take him away, your father-in-law's lineage will really be extinct."

Seeing this, Yi Qiushui hurriedly came over and said, "The Hu family's Jue family has nothing to do with us. Our Yi family didn't say anything. How dare you say this?"

"Also, let me tell you the truth, not only did we take away the three children, I also planned to let them recognize their ancestors and change their surname back to Yi."

When the third uncle heard this, he frowned.

"This this……"

"Qiuyue, you can't be like this as a human being. If you do this, someone will poke your spine."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiushui said directly: "Bah, you are not qualified to say such things. Hu Haitao deliberately separated our Yi family's flesh and blood, why didn't you say so?"

"Also, it is illegal to deliberately fabricate and conceal news about the deaths of descendants of martyrs, do you know?"

"If it weren't for the kindness he showed in raising my sister, I would have let him go in and step on the sewing machine."

When the third uncle heard this, he was speechless.

He slowly turned around, discussed with his tribe members, and walked over again.

"Qiuyue, you can take Sandan away, but can you keep a girl? No matter what, you must leave a note for your father-in-law?"

"No, I won't keep anyone."

Lin Qiuyue refused without thinking: "They are all flesh that fell from my body, and I won't let any of them go."

"Yes, leave no one behind. I advise you to give up on this idea." Yi Qiushui agreed.

The third uncle struggled for a while, and then said: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Aren't you afraid that we will report to the official?"

"Okay, just report it to the official and see if the government will punish you." Yi Qiushui said.

No matter whether you play black or white, you are not afraid of them.

The third uncle turned around and looked at the tribesmen again. At this moment, all the tribesmen lowered their heads and said nothing.

They finally figured it out. Yi Qiushui and his gang were well-connected, well-dressed, and driving a car. They looked like they were people with status. They couldn't take advantage of them when reporting to officials, let alone fighting.

After much thought, they could only give up.

"Qiuyue, I won't tell you whether you will take the child with you or not, but what about your father-in-law?"

"He is lying on the ground now, not knowing whether to live or die. He has to pay for medical expenses and so on..."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Qiuyue with a pitiful expression.

Hearing this, Lin Qiuyue glanced at Hu Haitao, who was lying on the ground without knowing whether to live or die, with a look of confusion on his face.

In any case, Hu Haitao has raised him for more than thirty years. Even if he does something like that, the decades of family ties are still there and cannot be broken off.

She thought for a moment, then took out a bulging handkerchief from her pocket.

Opening the handkerchief, a wad of money was revealed.

After counting a few times, he finally handed it to his third uncle together with the handkerchief.

"Third uncle, this is the money I paid for the oranges yesterday, and it is also all my belongings."

"Take this little money and hire a doctor for dad."

Seeing this, Yi Qiushui was about to speak, but was stopped by Yang Jun's look and shook her head at him.

When Yi Qiushui saw this, he immediately understood.

At this time, we cannot stop Lin Qiuyue from fulfilling her filial piety, otherwise it may be counterproductive, and in the end it may be counterproductive.

No matter what, after all, father and daughter were destined to be together, and it was unjustifiable not to let Lin Qiuyue give her best.

The money was spent, and it was considered an end to this fate.

When the third uncle saw that there was a lot of money, more than two hundred, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't expect Lin Qiuyue to be so generous and leave her entire family fortune, which shows that this girl still has some conscience.

"Qiuyue..."

"Third uncle, I can't promise you anything about the child."

Lin Qiuyue seemed to know what he was going to say, and quickly opened her mouth to block the escape.

The third uncle sighed after hearing this.

"That's it, that's it."

After saying that, his eyes turned red and he choked with sobs: "Girl, if you have a chance in the future, come back often."

After saying that, he took the money and walked away tremblingly.

The third uncle waved his hand, and then his tribesmen carried the unconscious Hu Haitao away.

As soon as they left, Lin Qiuyue suddenly squatted on the ground holding her head and crying.

She cried very sadly, and seemed to have a hint of grievance and guilt.

Yi Qiushui was about to go to persuade him, but was pulled back by Yang Jun.

"Let her cry. Just let her cry."

It is impossible to say that Lin Qiuyue is truly unfeeling towards the Hu family. She is the person involved and has endured great grievances and pressure in her heart.

After all, they are relatives who have lived together for decades, and the affection between them cannot be broken off easily.

Yang Jun knew that she needed time to heal all this.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, come here."

Yang Jun called his two nieces to him and said softly: "Go and pack your things. We will return to the city later."

"I know, uncle."

"By the way, only pick up the important things and pack them away. Don't leave the clothes or bedding. We will buy new ones when we return to the city." Yang Jun warned.

Then, Yang Jun ordered everyone to go in and help.

After Lin Qiuyue cried for a while, her mood finally stabilized.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands and looked at Yi Qiu Shui with a determined look,

"Sister, before returning to the city, I want to kowtow to my parents and recognize my ancestors."

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui looked at her with pleased eyes and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Come on, let's go see our parents first, and then go back to the city."

Later, Lin Qiuyue went into the house to pack her things.

An hour later, a group of people stood outside the door.

Lin Qiuyue and her three children looked back at the house behind them with a look of reluctance.

"Take a good look, maybe you won't come back in the future." Lin Qiuyue said to the child.

Then, she didn't even lock the door and said resolutely: "Children, Mom will take you to start your life again."

After saying that, he walked down the mountain without looking back. (End of chapter)
