Chapter 15: 1970s sisters
This thing ended up messing up.
No, it should be said that He Nian's purpose is to make this matter bigger.
It is impossible for her to let Jiang Xiaxia pay for her life, and she is not even qualified to make her pay any price.
Because when her father died, Jiang Xiaxia was only ten years old, so she couldn't and couldn't drown Jiang's father deliberately.
The only possibility is that, as she said, her father threw his life in the river to save her.
Everything was voluntary, everything was just an accident.
But she was not reconciled.
She had never hated the Jiang family as much as this moment.
What she hated was not that her father died because of Jiang Xiaxia.
What she hated was that over the years, the Jiang family had kept her father's cause of death a secret, and adopted her and He Yi in the name of taking care of the neighbor's children, enjoying the praise from the villagers and the alimony given by the Huo family.
Her father, obviously died because of saving people.
But for so many years, drowning has been the cause of death.
Every time she goes to the river to wash clothes, she can hear the grandmothers in the village warning their children, "Don't play in deep water, be careful to drown like your Uncle He."
She cried, missed, and finally even hated.
She couldn't figure out why her father wanted to go into the water for no reason at that time, and just left their sister and brother under the fence, and lived carefully.
When she was in all kinds of pain, the initiator was praised as a kind-hearted good person, enjoying the recognition from the village.
Why?
"To trouble all uncles and uncles today, I'm sorry, but I really can't let my father die in a daze, and I can't continue to be heartless. I can't continue to recognize a thief as a father! I hope the uncles and uncles can agree. I moved the account with Xiaoyi."
......
The lobby where meetings usually hold in Shaping Village is now full of people, all of whom are the village elders and the secretary of the village chief.
At this moment, he was listening to He Nian's words with a solemn expression. The village chief turned to look at the uncle of the Jiang family, and his voice was condensed.
"Jiang Dazhuang, do you admit what He Nian said?"
The uncle of the Jiang family lowered his head in silence, and did not speak for a long time.
He wanted to deny it, but the people who heard Jiang Xiaxia's words at the time were not only He Nian, but also Aunt Jiang.
People are still listening at the door, and it can't be faked at all.
In the current situation, for the Jiang family, it is quite difficult to ride a tiger.
After hearing Jiang Xiaxia's words, He Nian took her back to the main room and questioned them about the cause of her father's death.
Except for Grandma Jiang, the Jiang family is not a fast-minded person. When they saw this sudden battle, they were all stunned. Uncle Jiang said subconsciously,
"Niannian, don't get excited. Let's talk about it. Xiaxia didn't mean it back then."
......
Just this sentence made Grandma Jiang, who came in casually, go dark. The justification she thought about on the road before, can't say a word now.
He Nianqi's eyes turned red.
"Isn't it intentional? Jiang Xiaxia wasn't intentional back then. What about your concealment and deception for so many years? Is it a last resort!"
"My account with He Yi is in your house, and I feel completely dirty!"
"Well, since you can't give me an explanation and regard my father's death as such a trivial matter, then I won't tell you either. I'll go to the village chief and uncle to solve it!"
......
"Nian Nian! Don't be impulsive! Nian Nian!"
"Niannian, grandma fainted, Niannian, take pity on her, she is so old!"
"He Nian! Stop! I'll explain it to you, stop first..."
But no matter what they shouted behind him, He Nian didn't look back.
His expression froze, tears rolled down his cheeks, but his footsteps were very firm.
......
So, there is this scene.
After listening to He Nian's words, the village chief exhaled a smoke ring, sighed, and then called the elders of the village together.
In the usual meeting hall, it was discussed whether to agree to He Nian's request and move her and He Yi's household registrations out.
And there was a circle of people around the door of the meeting hall.
It was Huo Xingchao, who was a good helper, who silently called over to watch the fun.
He Yi was still playing on the mountain, and Huo Xingchao beckoned a child to look for him.
But looking at He Nian's resolute attitude, and after the absence of Grandma Jiang, he was like the Jiang family with no leader.
......
Aunt Jiang looked at the villagers outside the door with disdainful faces and tsk-tsk conversations in surprise, her face turned pale with anger.
"He Nian, even if Xiaxia didn't tell us the truth back then, it was our fault that we made a mistake about the cause of your father's death, but for so many years, we adopted you and He Yi, and raised you as our own children. Isn't the payment fake? Do you really want to repay such kindness?!"
Adopting her and He Yi, revenge?
It's okay if she didn't say this, but when she said this, the expression on He Nian's face became even more mocking,
"Aunt Jiang, you are right to adopt me and He Yi. When did you pay? The Huo family gives you the rations every year based on two adult men. Yi said something? Later, when I went to school in the town, the money and food I brought back every month were enough for me to hire someone in the city to take care of He Yi. You raised us? What conscience do you have? This sentence?"
"My kindness and revenge? Aunt Jiang, ask yourself, who is the one who avenged kindness and revenge?!"
......
The discussion at the door of the main room gradually grew louder.
"Yeah, the Jiang family is too unreasonable, killing their parents, and occupying their houses and fields in the name of adoption, with a good look on the face, really..."
"It's just bullying two young children. They said every day that so many children in the family have a heavy burden. I was surprised. The burden is so heavy, why go to the city every month and buy it in large and small packages. , It turned out that the Huo family gave them to He Yi, tsk tsk..."
"This is really, oh my, I'm getting goosebumps, Uncle He is such a good person, he fought his own life to save their family Xiaxia, they can still do these things with no conscience, it's really a wolf-hearted person …”
Folks, you said a word to me, tsk tsk and shook your head, looking at Tang Neijiang's family with contempt and disdain in their eyes.
It slashed at them like a knife.
What do the Jiang family love the most?
-face.
What are the Jiang family most afraid of?
- Reputation stinks.
Therefore, now He Nian lifts the fig leaf that they have covered for more than ten years, tore away all the fake "goodness" inside, clearly exposes the selfishness and hypocrisy hidden inside, and makes them endure the whole The villagers' disgust and blame for their own character.
For the Jiang family, it was even more painful than being stabbed.
The village chief shook his head, ignored the panicked Jiang family, and made a decision directly with the elders in the village.
"Since what He Nian said is true, then she and He Yi's household registration is excusable and should be agreed. In addition, the He family's few acres of land can no longer be distributed to You, and the house of the He family, you are limited to move out within two days and return it to He Yi and them. Also, you have to go to the tomb of the boss of the He family and apologize to him solemnly. "
"Do you have any opinions on my decision?"
The folks at the door all agreed.
"It should be done this way, why do they do all the bad things, and all the good things are occupied by them."
"If you want me to say, this is still light, but the wicked have their own way. If you do so many things against your conscience, sooner or later, you will be punished!"
"Yeah, yeah, I think back then, how enthusiastic the He family boy was, with great strength and good people, but in the end he saved the wrong person. After the person is gone, there is no clear cause of death, and his wife is also pitiful.. …”
......
The village chief announced the decision, and the elders patted He Nian on the shoulder with pity, and then left with a sigh on crutches.
But before they left, the Jiang family who passed by standing dazedly tapped the ground with crutches, expressing admonition to them.
People gradually dispersed.
Huo Xingchao sincerely thanked these elders and enthusiastic villagers at the door.
In the hall, Jiang Xiaxia, who was not allowed to enter just now, finally slipped in, and her eyes no longer had the vigor and agility they used to be.
Instead, it was filled with hatred and grievances.
"He Nian, don't you feel guilty for doing this? Don't you have nightmares when you sleep at night?!"
"I do not know."
He Nian turned his head and stared at her, his eyes were red, and tears began to fall in large drops as soon as the village chief's decision was finished.
She didn't even wipe it, she hooked her lips, showing a mocking and cold smile,
"You haven't had nightmares for so many years, why do I?"
"I'm telling you, my dad doesn't need you to go to his grave to apologize. You kneel there and you'll only dirty his grave."
"He Nian!"
Jiang Xiaxia screamed uncontrollably.
But the woman gave her a cold look and said nothing.
Pulling the anxious He Yi, who came in a hurry, he walked out with a light tone.
"Jiang Xiaxia, if I were my dad, back then when you were thrashing in the water, you shouldn't have cared about you, let you fend for yourself in it, save a snake and kill the farmer, but still dislike his blood. Not sweet enough."
.....
......
The day before leaving Shaping Village, Huo Xingchao woke up early in the morning and found that He Nian was nowhere to be seen.
After thinking about it, he woke Huo Yiluo who came back with him. After washing up, he put on the best clothes for her and took her to the tomb of He's father and mother.
He Nian was indeed there.
The little girl has been very good these days.
It is estimated that I feel that my mother is not in a good mood. I don't need to be coaxed to eat and sleep. I always pat my mother, kiss my mother, and try to comfort her in my own way.
Because of her husband's concern and her little daughter's warm comfort, He Nian's mood finally calmed down a lot.
She is different from He Yi.
As soon as He Yi was born, his parents had already passed away. When he heard the truth, apart from being a little angry, the pain in his heart was not as great as that of his sister.
But He Nian knew how good her parents were.
Before the age of ten, it was the most carefree time in her life. Compared with other parents in the village, her father and mother were so gentle and terrifying, which made the children of the whole village envied.
At the moment of knowing the cause of her father's death, at the moment of discovering that the Jiang family had been deceived for many years, He Nian's heart surged with monstrous anger and sadness.
This kind of emotion made her have to do something, otherwise she couldn't be reconciled.
So, before the Jiang family could react, she went directly to the village chief's uncle, and she couldn't bear to move her hukou out of this disgusting home for a moment.
......
Huo Xingchao walked over holding Huo Yiluo, his trouser legs brushed across the grass, making a slight movement.
He Nian turned around, saw the two of them, quickly wiped away his tears, smiled,
"Why are you here?"
"I'll take a call to see her grandparents."
Huo Xingchao put the little girl down,
"One network, come and say hello to grandpa and grandma."
Last year, Huo Yiluo came here. At that time, her father explained to her why her grandparents lived in the grounds.
The little girl still remembers.
So she nodded obediently, her voice soft,
"Hello, grandpa and grandma, I'm a network."
"I'm four years old."
"I like to draw, sing, and eat chocolate. By the way, have you ever eaten chocolate? It's the kind that feels hard to the touch, but melts when you put it in your mouth... "
The little girl is a talker.
Dad asked her to say hello, and she squatted on the ground and began to speak sentence by sentence.
Looking at her small figure, He Nian couldn't help laughing.
"If my parents were still here, I would be very happy to see Yiluo and Yihao."
"He Xiaonian..."
"you do not need to worry."
She interrupted him, curling her lips, "I'm fine."
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally I had to admit that even if Dad knew that Jiang's family was such a person, he would still choose to save Jiang Xiaxia. He has such a personality, and my mother said that the reason why my grandfather engaged me in the first place was, I just feel that my father is too soft-hearted and too kind, and he is not at ease to leave his grandchildren to him to take care of."
"But I still think he's the best dad in the world."
"Brother Huo, don't worry, I won't be troubled by hatred anymore, and I won't do anything anymore. I will live my life as well as my mother hoped before I left. Then I will watch them Day by day endures the consequences of the cause that he sowed."
"It's the best revenge for them and the best consolation for mom and dad."
The woman raised her head, her eyes fell between his gentle brows, listening to the childish words of the little daughter beside her ear, the curvature of the corners of her lips finally became relieved.
She took his hand, and her eyes were dyed with the golden light of the morning.
"Brother Huo, thank you."
......
The man curled his lips slightly, with a shallow smile in his eyes, "Well."
"you are welcome."
......
that moment.
The spot of light on the wrist blends with the sunlight.
almost invisible.
"Starlight value, 100%."
The author has something to say: There will be a small side story in the next chapter.
Then the world ends.
About the love of Tyrannosus and the little stars.
Well, in fact, what the little stars like is not Bawangxing, but Huo Xingchao in every world.
Because Bawangxing is living according to the character of each "Huo Xingchao" dutifully.
