"Brother Youfu, I really can't say that, but I have been dreaming these past few nights about Yang Yongxian." After Liao Meiying thought about it for a while, she slowly spoke to Zhang Youfu.
Hearing that his wife could still dream about her ex-husband, Zhang Youfu's smile became a little bitter.
No matter how broad your mind is, you may not be able to accept this, right?
"Mei Ying, go on, I'm listening." Zhang Youfu's voice was also a little bitter.
He was afraid of hearing his wife say something about old relationships that he could not forget. After all, Yang Yongxian was once so outstanding, the first scholar in the history of Changping Village, and he was also personable and well-groomed.
Born in Lao Yang's family, he has a big family and a big business.
Being able to marry Yang Yongxian and become a scholar's wife is probably very attractive to these women from Shiliba Village.
If Yang Yongxian hadn't acted so badly later that Mei Ying couldn't bear it, Mei Ying would have never thought of leaving the old Yang family in her life. She would have stayed in the old Yang family and lived with her daughter conscientiously. ?
How can you compare yourself with Yang Yongxian? He's just an old bachelor who hasn't married a wife yet!
Thinking of this, Zhang Youfu lowered his head without confidence.
However, I heard Liao Meiying say: "I've been dreaming about him these past few nights, not because I can't forget my old feelings for him or anything. Brother Youfu, please don't go down the wrong path."
"I didn't, don't worry." Zhang Youfu raised his eyes and smiled at Liao Meiying, "You go on, I'm listening."
Liao Meiying continued: "How should I put it? These nights, I dreamed about Yang Yongxian, and I always felt that it was not a coincidental dream."
"When I was a child, I heard the old people say that when a person is about to leave, his soul never returns home and he likes to wander around."
Go meet the people you want to see and fulfill your unfinished wishes.
That's why many people will say that they saw a relative appearing somewhere, and then not long afterward, they heard the news of that relative's death.
It's a bit mysterious, but it can't be explained clearly.
When Zhang Youfu heard Liao Meiying's words, he immediately became alert and looked around nervously. It seemed that anytime, anywhere, Yang Yongxian would stand stiffly in the darkness at the door of the house, dragging his arms...
"Brother Youfu, don't look like that, I'm scared." Liao Meiying subconsciously touched the hairs on her arms and whispered.
At night in the village, especially in winter, the cold wind blows outside the house and almost no one passes by. The sound of the branches and the piled thatch and firewood blown by the wind in the yard is always a little distorted, making people imagine and scare themselves. .
Zhang Youfu quickly sat up straight and said to Liao Meiying: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Liao Meiying stopped talking about her previous dream, and only said to Zhang Youfu: "In the next two days, let's send Zhen'er to the prison to meet Yang Yongxian for the last time!"
"At least the father-son fight is not for Yang Yongxian, the man who killed a thousand swords, but for Zhen'er."
"Let him see his father for the last time and fulfill this child's wish, okay?"
Zhen'er is not Zhang Youfu's biological child. Zhen'er's name is Yang Zhen, not Zhang Zhen. Everyone in the village knows this, and Zhen'er herself knows it too.
The child will soon be five years old, and he will gradually understand many things. I have asked Liao Meiying before about what kind of person his father is.
Liao Meiying was reluctant to beat and scold her children. Whenever Zhen'er inquired about Yang Yongxian, she would become irritable, and even made Zhen'er cry twice.
Gradually, the children did not dare to ask.
In the past half month, because of Yang Yongxian's incident, the old Yang family's house was restless, and eventually the whole village was panicked.
The child was ostracized by his friends outside and criticized by people in the village, so he started asking Liao Meiying about Yang Yongxian.
Yang Yongxian has been sentenced to be beheaded. Liao Meiying always dreams of Yang Yongxian coming to her in her dreams these nights, begging her to take Zhen'er to let him take a look.
Liao Meiying thought about it over and over again, and after a long struggle in her heart, she mustered up the courage to discuss it with Zhang Youfu.
Zhang Youfu looked at the tangled look on Liao Meiying's face and knew that if this wish was not fulfilled, Liao Meiying might not be able to do anything.
So Zhang Youfu thought about it and said, "I'll go with you and pack up. We'll go early tomorrow morning and take Zhen'er and Gui'er with us!"
"If you don't take your son with you, that kind of place is not a good place. Children can't go there!"
Liao Meiying said nervously that the prisoners there were all serious criminals, and she didn’t know how many prisoners died there. To use a local saying, that place was unclean. If children go there, they are easily disturbed by those unclean things. It's easy to get sick after coming back.
Zhang Youfu also realized this serious problem when he heard what Liao Meiying said.
"If I stay at home to take care of Gui'er, that's not a good idea. I don't trust you and Zhen'er and your son."
"My mother is paralyzed in bed and can't take care of the baby. If I entrust your son to your third aunt of the Yang family..."
Liao Meiying shook her head and rejected Zhang Youfu's proposal without thinking, "I've already remarried, so I'd better try not to trouble the old Yang family anymore. Besides, I'm taking Zhen'er to the county government to visit the prison. This matter If my son is found out by Lao Yang’s family, I’m afraid they won’t be happy!”
Because Yang Yongxian disowned his relatives this time and raised his butcher knife to attack members of the Yang family, so he was sent to prison because it was all arranged by the Yang family, especially Qing'er.
You said, after all this, you sent Guier, who is not related by blood to Lao Yang's family, and asked someone to take care of him for you, and then said you were going to visit the prison?
People are not allowed to kick you out?
Even if Zhen'er, who is related by blood, is sent over, I'm afraid that when Lao Yang's family sees Zhen'er, they will think of Yang Yongxian and get upset!
Therefore, it is better not to look for trouble. The most important thing in life is to have self-knowledge!
"How can we deal with that?" Zhang Youfu said, "If that doesn't work, I will take Zhen'er in to see Yang Yongxian. You can hold Gui'er and wait at the door of the cell. Is that okay?"
Liao Meiying said: "Don't be so troublesome. Let's take a turn around and quietly send Gui'er to my parents' house, and ask my parents to help take care of him."
The couple finally discussed the matter and blew out the lights early to go to sleep.
At dawn the next day, the couple got up and woke up their two children. Gui'er was still asleep, so she was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket and taken out of the house.
Of course, before going out, I had already cooked a meal for Zhang Mu and served Zhang Mu.
"Mom, let's try to come back before dark. Later I will go to the next door yard to find the aunt and ask her to take time out during the day to come over and help you!"
The people living in the yard next door have been lifelong neighbors, and we have a pretty good relationship.
