"Here we go."
Yu Lamei nodded obediently and led her younger brother down the mountain. The two siblings walked one foot deep and one foot shallow. The younger brother Yu Songbai accidentally slipped, but he got up quickly.
"well!"
Mrs. Tang sighed softly and looked at the culprit.
The Tang family is close to the back mountain, so the siblings had to pass by the Tang family when they went home. Seeing the hunched backs of the siblings, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but shout: "Come in and have a drink of hot water!"
Yu Lamei turned around and politely refused: "Thank you, Second Grandma, I have to go back to work!"
"What are you doing in such heavy snow? Come inside!"
Mrs. Tang walked over, grabbed one with each hand, and forced the two siblings into the house.
The fire pot in the house was always burning, and the temperature was much higher than outside. It was very warm. After the siblings entered the house, they felt warm in a short time, but the snow on their shoes also melted, and water dripped all over the floor.
The siblings moved their feet a little uneasily and took a few steps back to avoid getting the ground dirty.
"sit down!"
Xu Jinfeng brought two chairs and pulled the siblings to sit down. Xuan Zhenzhu brought two chimneys for them to dry their hands.
Mrs. Tang went to the kitchen to make ginger, brown sugar water, and generously added four eggs, two for each person.
At first glance, these two siblings have never had enough to eat. They are so thin that they can touch their bones. Yu Qianjin is really nothing. The two children who are dragging oil bottles are well fed, and their own children are almost starving to death. No matter what, I don't care about that conscienceless woman.
"Sister Lamei, Brother Songbai, eat cookies!"
Tang Jiujin took out her beloved biscuits and stuffed them into the hands of the siblings.
"No, we're not hungry!"
Yu Lamei didn't dare accept it. She and her brother couldn't afford such precious biscuits, and they couldn't afford the favor.
"Eat it!"
Tang Niannian said something.
The siblings did not dare to refuse. They were a little frightened by Tang Niannian, so they stuffed the biscuits into their mouths obediently. The rich and sweet milk fragrance spread quickly in their mouths, filling their entire mouth. It was a delicacy they had never tasted before, and it was so delicious to them. Want to cry.
"Delicious!"
Yu Songbai quickly finished a piece of biscuit and couldn't help but praise it.
"And, give it all to you!"
Jiujin took out all the biscuits in his pocket and gave them all to Yu Songbai. She was no longer hungry for biscuits.
"One piece is enough for me."
Yu Songbai was extremely embarrassed, and he was very satisfied if he could just eat a piece.
"Eat it!"
Tang Niannian said something again, and the two siblings who stopped shook their bodies and obediently stuffed the biscuits into their mouths.
Mrs. Tang came out with two steaming bowls of ginger, brown sugar and boiled eggs, placed them on the table, and asked the siblings to eat.
"Second Grandma, thank you... thank you!"
Yu Lamei's throat was choked, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yu Songbai was also crying, with tears flowing down her face.
"Why are you crying? Eat it while it's hot!"
Mrs. Tang looked very awkward. After all, she had a very tense relationship with Yu Qianjin's second wife. They had fought several times. She used to be indifferent to the siblings. Today, she didn't know which one had a heart attack. , couldn't hold it back for a moment.
Under the unkind eyes of the old lady, the siblings finished a large bowl of brown sugar boiled eggs with tears in their eyes, feeling warm all over.
"My brother and I are going home, thank you Second Grandma!"
Yu Lamei didn't dare to stay any longer. She and her brother went to the mountain secretly. There was still a lot of work to do at home, and her stepmother would scold her if she came back late.
"Let's go back!"
Mrs. Tang didn't try to persuade them to stay. It was enough to give the two children a bowl of brown sugar and boiled eggs. She couldn't help with anything else.
Yu Lamei took her brother and left in a hurry.
"The evil He Guixiang found a fool from the mountains for Lamei, and he will marry her after the Chinese New Year." Xu Jinfeng sighed and told the reason why the siblings went up to the mountain to cry.
"That fool doesn't even know how to eat. He can only call her mother when he is in his late twenties. He still shouts for food every day. He offered a gift of 200 yuan and Yu Qianjin agreed." Xuan Zhenzhen said angrily.
"How come I don't know about this?"
Mrs. Tang looked stunned. She didn't know such big news?
"That fool's mother came to visit yesterday, and this happened. I didn't have time to tell you." Xuan Zhenzhu explained hurriedly.
Mrs. Tang frowned and cursed: "He Guixiang's daughter is two years older than Wintersweet, right? The older one is not married, why is the younger one so anxious? Has Yu Qianjin eaten too much shit?"
"How can He Guixiang be willing to marry his own daughter? That idiot can't take care of himself and loves to beat others. I heard that he married one before and was tortured to death in less than a year. Marrying Lamei... Oh!"
Xuan Zhenzhen sighed, feeling very sympathetic to Yu Lamei, but there was nothing she could do. It was not easy for outsiders to interfere in such household matters.
"This He Guixiang has a black heart and a rotten intestine. He is not afraid of thunder!"
Mrs. Tang cursed a few times, but there was nothing she could do.
Although she sympathized with Lamei, she was not her biological granddaughter, so she couldn't do anything.
Tang Liujin said angrily: "Lamei is very good at studying. She is one of the top students in the class and was forced to drop out of school."
Lamei was originally admitted to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School, but Yu Qianjin said he couldn't afford it. In the end, Yu Lamei's junior high school teacher came to visit her home several times before convincing Yu Qianjin to allow her daughter to study in the town's high school.
But after only studying for one year, Yu Qianjin refused to accept his life and death, and ordered Yu Lamei to drop out of school and go home to work.
Unexpectedly, He Guixiang, a black-hearted woman, refused to give up and insisted on pushing Yu Lamei into the pit of fire. Marrying the fool Yu Lamei would only lead to death.
The Tang family talked angrily about Yu Lamei's tragic experience and He Guixiang's cruel heart. Tang Niannian was warming herself by the fire when she suddenly slapped her forehead and remembered.
No wonder the name Yu Lamei feels familiar.
On New Year's Eve this year, a big event will happen in Tangcun. A twelve-year-old boy in the village jumped into the river and left a letter written in blood, which made the whole village angry.
It was Yu Songbai who jumped into the river.
There was only one sentence written on the blood book he left behind——
"Dad, after I die, I will no longer eat the food at home. The food I save will be given to my sister. Please be merciful and stop forcing my sister to marry that fool. If you can't do it, I won't be able to do it even if I become a ghost." Let you go!"
This bloody letter contained many typos and was written crookedly, but every word was like a nail, piercing deeply into the hearts of the whole village.
In Tangcun, a new society, such a tragic thing actually happened. Tangcun's reputation was ruined by Yu Qianjin and his wife.
The captain personally made the decision and canceled Yu Lamei's marriage, and asked Yu Qianjin to go back to school with Yu Lamei. As for He Guixiang, who forced his stepson to death, he was also punished by the captain to clean the toilet for a year.
With the suppression of the captain and the supervision of the whole village, He Guixiang and Yu Qianjin did not dare to abuse Yu Lamei anymore. Therefore, Yu Lamei was able to successfully graduate from high school, just in time for the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Yu Lamei, who had excellent grades, was admitted to Fudan University. After graduation, she became an excellent writer and became famous.
