The number of times men go home is getting less and less, so few that Gu Yuan can count them.
Slowly, the woman stopped sitting in the yard and waited, maybe because she felt that she could not wait any longer, or maybe she felt that it was not worth the wait.
Life goes on.
The woman took Liangliang with her to do some handiwork at home, which was actually making matchboxes. After all, life had to be maintained.
And Liangliang is indeed very obedient. He will help his mother water the flowers. When his mother is working, he will not make trouble. He will even help get things and do whatever he can.
All this was seen by Gu Yuan.
If it weren't for the wooden box that the man brought back, this family would have been happy forever.
Only now everything is ruined.
In the past, Gu Yuan, like women, looked forward to men returning home early.
But slowly.
As long as a man goes home, he will take some valuable things and sell them.
He is more like someone who breaks into a home and gets beaten when a woman tries to stop her.
Every time he saw such a scene, Gu Yuan felt extremely angry.
Finally, all the valuable things in the house were sold.
"Where's the money? Where's the family's money?" the man roared at the woman.
The woman held her son tightly in her arms, her shoulders hunched slightly, and she didn't dare to cry.
"You paste matchboxes every day, where's the money you earn? Give it to me, give it to me! Damn it, I will definitely make a profit today..."
"No money, really no money..." the woman sobbed.
Seeing how hard it was, the man knelt in front of the woman again, confessing with tears and runny noses.
"Yuqin, give me your money, I promise you, I will definitely be able to make up my money today... As long as I win back everything I lost before, I promise, I will never play with money again!"
In fact, women have heard this many times.
At first, she really believed it.
Perhaps at that time, she also knew that the words coming out of gamblers' mouths were not trustworthy at all, but she wanted so much to get her old life back.
It's more of a fluke than belief.
"No money, really no money..." Facing her husband, whose eyes were red, the woman could only repeat this sentence.
When the man heard such words, his pitiful expression suddenly changed.
He slapped the woman on the face and kicked her hard.
"Give me the money! Give me the money!" He was like a rabid wild dog.
The stalemate lasted for about ten minutes. Many people stood at the door of the yard to watch the excitement. The man probably couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly turned around and ran out. "Whatever you are looking at, get out of here!"
He broke out of the crowd.
The people at the entrance of the courtyard looked at the women and children in the courtyard with sympathetic expressions.
Later, another group of people headed by Guihua Sister-in-law walked into the yard, helped the woman up, and each of them cursed the man and comforted the woman.
Even if they couldn't see it, they couldn't do anything.
The woman sent these people away and closed the door before bursting into tears. Liangliang stood there at a loss, still holding the rattle that the man had just broken in her hand, patted the woman's back gently, and said with a childish The voice said.
】
"Mom...don't cry, don't cry...have some candy..."
finally.
The woman stood up and began to clean up the mess in the house.
After packing everything, she sat on the chair, her eyes full of struggle, as if she was planning to make a decision.
the next day.
????????????????The man is back again.
This was at night, around eight or nine o'clock.
The man looked bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten.
When he noticed this, Gu Yuan felt quite happy, feeling that this guy had received his retribution.
But this time, the man was not the only one who came back, there was also a mourning man behind him.
The man walking in the middle was wearing a red and green floral shirt, a gold necklace hanging around his neck, and a gold watch on his wrist.
It's just that he looks a bit ugly. When he speaks, he shows uneven teeth and a pockmarked face.
The other two men looked sturdy and tall, and one of them had a scar on his face.
At the door of the house, the man seemed unwilling to go in, but Mazi pushed him hard.
The man fell directly in.
At this moment, the woman heard the noise and hurried out. When she saw them, her expression suddenly changed.
"Wang Mazi, what are you going to do!"
The man in the floral shirt looked at the woman, then at the man, stretched out his hand to pick him up, and said to the woman: "Your man owes us ten thousand yuan."
Hearing this, the woman looked horrified.
In this day and age, ten thousand yuan is an astronomical amount of money to them.
Even the few tile-roofed houses at home only cost three thousand when they were built.
What's more, this is still the situation at home.
Let alone 10,000, even if it is 100, the family does not have it, and the things that can be sold have been sold off by the man before. She was still thinking that if it continues to develop, the man is afraid that the tiles in the house will be sold out. All the films were sold.
"You...you owe so much?!" The woman's body was trembling. I don't know if it's because of fear or anger.
The man lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Gu Yuan didn't know if the man felt even the slightest bit guilty in his heart at this moment.
Suddenly, the two men behind Wang Mazi walked into the house regardless of the woman's obstruction.
"What are you going to do!" The woman's face changed drastically.
Soon, the two men came out of the house, holding Liangliang in their arms.
The woman went crazy instantly and rushed forward to snatch her child back, but was held tightly by the man.
Wang Mazi grinned and said, "Your man has already sold the child, which can be considered as a settlement."
"Sell...sell your son?" The woman suddenly became heartbroken, "Are you crazy! Are you even selling your son now? You...you are committing a crime! Get out of here, get out of here!"
She broke free from the man's shackles and rushed into the kitchen. For her, she could lose anything, but Liangliang would never do it!
Her eyes were red like crazy, and she wanted to pick up a kitchen knife and fight these people. After rushing into the kitchen, she suddenly realized.
It turned out that all the kitchen knives in the house had been sold by the man.
She started yelling, hoping to be heard and someone to help her.
The lights in the yard next door came on, but soon went dark again.
Gu Yuan also felt despair in his heart.
turn out to be.
Comforting is okay, really helpful, but not.
After all, the former is just talking, and knowing more about it can become a topic of conversation in the next few days.
However, if you help, you may get involved in trouble and you will not be able to live in peace.
The woman rushed forward to save her child, but Liangliang was also crying loudly.
Wang Mazi looked at the woman and touched his chin, his eyes sparkling.
Suddenly, he pulled the man aside and muttered something.
The man was a little surprised. He turned back to look at the woman crying on the ground, gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed.
"As agreed, one thousand!"
Wang Mazi burst out laughing. He suddenly rushed towards the woman and dragged her into the house.
Inside the house, there were hysterical cries and Wang Mazi's laughter. The man was sitting in the yard with his head lowered. The light in the house revealed his shadow, but there was only a ferocious grimace on his face.
