In the silent night, the gentle wind blew slowly, bringing with it the croaking of frogs and the whispers of summer insects.
There was no one on the winding road, and most of the houses on both sides of the road were dark. Only the sound of the radio came from an occasional house.
Although there is electricity now, TVs and radios are not available to every household, so at night, most people choose to go to bed early.
Jiang Niannian couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Fortunately, everyone went to bed early, otherwise she would inevitably be questioned while dragging such a cart of peaches.
But when he arrived at the gate of the compound, Jiang Niannian saw a familiar figure standing under the street lamp.
Jiang Niannian narrowed his eyes and shouted with some uncertainty: "Mom?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling light shone over her, making her unable to open her eyes.
When Xia Xiujuan saw her daughter coming back, she hurried forward and said worriedly: "You girl, why did you come back at this hour?"
"I went to buy fruit, but I was a little late."
Jiang Niannian lowered his head, looking a little guilty.
"Is it a little late?" Xia Xiujuan raised her voice and said with some annoyance: "Jiang Niannian, see for yourself what time it is now. Do you know that in such a dark sky, you are a girl?" How dangerous it is out there!
Have you forgotten what happened to your Aunt Liu’s daughter? "
Of course Jiang Niannian didn't forget it.
It seems that Uncle Liu's daughter was spotted by a drunken gangster on her way back from extra classes at night and dragged into a small dark room.
However, because the criminal was young and could not bear the punishment, he was eventually sentenced to several years of forced labor.
Later, Aunt Liu's daughter could not accept this result and chose to commit suicide.
This incident left a big shadow on Jiang Niannian back then. She couldn't believe that such a good young girl was ruined like this.
But these were not the things that really left Jiang Niannian fresh in his memory.
After the death of Uncle Liu's daughter, Aunt Liu has been busy with litigation. It was not until ten years later that the truth of the year was completely revealed.
It turns out that the drunken gangster was not a minor at all, but deliberately changed his age in order to avoid punishment.
After ten years of running, the murderer who hurt his daughter was finally brought to justice.
I also heard that when he was caught, the young gangster was already married and had children, and he was still considered a good guy by everyone.
In the last life, when Jiang Niannian heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked and sad.
Shocked by a mother's greatness and forbearance.
The girl back then had only a pile of bones left, but the person who made the mistake lived quietly for ten years.
If it weren't for his mother's insistence, this criminal might have lived a happy life full of children and grandchildren.
Thinking of this matter again, Jiang Niannian couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that her daughter was in a daze, Xia Xiujuan slapped Jiang Niannian hard and said angrily: "Still stunned, did you hear what your mother said?"
"Mom, I was wrong." Jiang Niannian quickly admitted her mistake and promised: "I promise that I will go home before dark, and I will tell you if I have anything to do so that you won't worry."
"Just know. Although the world is getting better now, there are people everywhere. You, a little girl, need to be careful."
Xia Xiujuan nodded her head with a look of disgust.
Jiang Niannian looked obedient and nodded like a fool.
In her last life, after her mother passed away, she was used to being alone. She did everything by herself and treated herself like a man. There was nothing dangerous about it.
When I came back like this, I didn't change for a while, and I forgot that there were still people who missed me.
Jiang Niannian held her mother's arm with a happy look on her face, "Mom, I know what you mean. You must be on guard against others."
Xia Xiujuan felt a little uncomfortable. She always felt that her daughter had changed. She became like a child, caring and clinging to her.
She felt sweet in her heart, but she still didn't forget to say a few words: "Just understand, your Aunt Liu, such a good daughter, was ruined like this. I heard that that person was still her classmate, and she just I let my guard down, otherwise I wouldn’t be like this.”
Jiang Niannian: "Yes, I know people, faces but not hearts."
"No, you, Uncle Liu, are dragging the eldest daughter along all by yourself. After a long time, the daughter has become promising. After a long time, something like this happened. How can a person live like this?" Xia Xiujuan shook her head and sighed: "I hope that girl can come out and stop doing stupid things."
Jiang Niannian nodded.
In these days, if something like this happens to a woman, her life will be completely ruined.
No matter how strong you are and step out of the shadows, you may not be able to escape the strange eyes of others and countless rumors.
This was probably the reason why she finally chose that path.
If it were Jiang Niannian, he might not be much stronger than her.
In the previous life, when my mother was seriously ill, Uncle Liu had lent her a sum of money.
Although the money was ultimately useless, it warmed her heart.
Thinking of this, Jiang Niannian couldn't help but said: "Mom, let's go to Aunt Liu's house another day."
"Okay, since you are about the same age, please advise her that this person only has hope if he is alive. If he dies, he will really have nothing."
