When Yunfei woke up, he was lying in a narrow house with wounds all over his body. There was no doubt that he had been beaten.
Seeing that the wooden door was locked from inside the house and no one else was there, he raised his body slightly and took some medicine from the space to treat the wound.
Seeing that the house was in bad condition, they didn't even use gauze to wrap it up. They only randomly disinfected it and sprinkled it with medicinal powder.
"Yun Ling, plot."
…………
In 1925, Blue Star Magic City, a city that exchanged trade with many countries.
The rich are extremely rich, while the poor are as poor as human beings.
They originally got married in their hometown in the north, and later came to this city together under the leadership of Fa Xiao.
His wife at the time, Huang Xiaoyan, was unwilling. She just wanted to stay in her hometown and farm the land and feel at ease because she was already two months pregnant at the time.
But the original person refused. He wanted to stand out and come back as a human being to impress those who looked down on him.
So he resolutely forced his old parents to sell off their property to raise money for train tickets for him and Huang Xiaoyan.
I thought I would be able to become a master from now on, which is completely different from the mud-legged people at home.
Unexpectedly, here, Fa Xiao just lived in a small house with a group of men.
They make a living by carrying bags for the dock or pulling rickshaws. Those who have a car are already considered pretty good.
Most men could only carry bags and tip the foreman in order to be selected.
I only went there once. After I came back, my back was sore and I refused to go there again no matter what.
As for the place to live, they shared a room with Fa Xiao and others on the floor.
This was very painful for Huang Xiaoyan. She walked with her chest hunched over all day long, and was frightened by those eyes.
The original person refused to work and fantasized about getting on the big boss's boat every day.
As a result, even eating has become a problem for them.
Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted grandmother when she went to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves every day.
He introduced her to a job washing and sewing clothes for a clothing store.
With her first salary, she bought something for her old lady, thanked her, and then asked if there was any cheap house to rent nearby.
The old lady took pity on her as a pregnant woman and a widow herself, so she simply said that the couple should live with her.
It was the room where Yunfei woke up, an ordinary small room where he ate, drank, pooped and slept.
When the old lady was still alive, a curtain was hung in the middle and a small bed was placed on the other side for the couple to live.
Later, before her grandmother died of illness, she gave her house to Huang Xiaoyan and asked her only to collect her body and organize her funeral.
At that time, Huang Xiaoyan had already given birth, and her grandma had been helping to take care of her son. The two of them worked for a clothing store, and their lives were poor but still manageable.
Until the death of my grandmother, the tailor shop closed down, and I got into trouble with people on the street and owed a debt of a hundred oceans.
The creditor came to collect the debt, and he was beaten to death. Then he saw Huang Xiaoyan, mother and son.
It is suggested that the original person sell his wife and children to pay off the debt, otherwise he will be beaten to death.
As you can imagine, the original person didn't want to die and asked Huang Xiaoyan to save him.
save? How to save? Apart from saving myself and my son, what else can I do to save him?
th.
Recalling that her husband had mentioned several times that he would go to work in a dance club when he was young, Huang Xiaoyan became heartbroken, wiped away her tears and said: "I'll go with you, I'll go to the dance club to make money to pay you back.
You can count the interest, but my son is not worth much. If you sell him to me, you won’t sell him.
Otherwise, we, mother and son, will be killed here today, and you will not get a penny. "
"Keep your head up."
The leader, Brother Tao, carefully looked at Huang Xiaoyan's appearance and figure, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Can you sing?"
"Yes." Huang Xiaoyan sang a folk song from her hometown with tears in her eyes.
The music is a bit tacky, but the singing voice is still good, it just needs a little tweaking.
Brother Tao agreed to use Huang Xiaoyan to pay off the debt, and forget about her three-year-old son.
……….
The daughter-in-law was taken into the ballroom, but Zhang Shiqiang was still unrepentant.
He wants to join a gang, or work as a lackey with the big boss.
In order to have a chance, I often follow the gangsters who collect protection money on the street to flatter me.
As for his son, he was too lazy to care.
The dancers of that era were female dancers, so the moment Huang Xiaoyan stepped into the dance hall, she was no longer the daughter-in-law of their Zhang family.
He couldn't afford to lose that person.
However, occasionally when he was short of money, he would threaten his son and ask Huang Xiaoyan to give him money, otherwise he would beat his son.
Anyway, she makes a lot now, so what’s wrong with asking for a little money to spend?
Moreover, Zhang Shiqiang told people more than once that he regretted it to death. If he had known that Huang Xiaoyan was so sloppy, he should have let her work in a dance hall to make money.
When I mentioned it at first, it was like living or dying like a martyr girl, but now it's not okay.
Now their son is five years old, and his nickname is Goudan.
After Huang Xiaoyan went to work in the dance hall, although she was always under supervision and could not leave the dance hall, she still thought about her son.
I brought the money from a boy I met at the dance hall and gave it to my neighbor Aunt Qian. I gave her five yuan a month, as long as she gave Goudan two meals a day.
Five yuan, for any family, is equivalent to a huge sum of money dropped from the sky.
Aunt Qian already had a good relationship with her grandma, she had money to offer, and a child couldn't eat much, so she agreed.
Every month, no matter Huang Xiaoyan's life is good or not, these five pieces of ocean will be delivered to Qian's house without fail.
During the Chinese New Year, she would get two more yuan and asked her to make two new clothes for Goudan.
But the original person didn't know this. He just thought that the lady next door was overflowing with sympathy.
At first, he used Goudan to gain sympathy and make a few meals, but Aunt Qian gave up after she kicked him out.
But if one move doesn't work, there is another move.
For example, when the neighbor called Goudan to go to dinner, he stopped him from going and beat the child until he cried.
He was scolding him for being greedy, and he was not a dog, so he just went away with his hands.
Mrs. Qian was so angry.
Then the next time someone sent money, the words reached Huang Xiaoyan's ears.
Naturally, she was angry, but she was soft-hearted, and asked someone to send him money, and told the original person not to beat her son again, and so on.
Doesn’t this give the sweetness to the original body? From time to time, I would go to the dance hall to find someone to send messages to for blackmail.
The son was in his hand, tightly holding Huang Xiaoyan's lifeline.
And the reason why he was beaten like this this time was because he brought it upon himself.
Those gangsters went to collect protection money. As a horseman, Zhang Shiqiang, of course, had to be a pawn.
When he went up, he grabbed the old man's collar and threatened him, asking him to give him money. When he couldn't get it, he smashed the pears the old man picked.
The old man's three sons happened to see him and were beaten up when they came up.
But the results for the four father and son were not much better...
