Chapter 17 Heard the rumor with my own ears
The bus tickets at the North Station are to give the ticket money to the driver or the ticket seller who follows the bus after getting on the bus. Generally speaking, the husband drives, and the ticket seller who collects the money is the daughter-in-law. The couple buys a car and runs back and forth in the county town of the village.
After getting on the bus, Hao Caiyun chatted with a man in his fifties sitting next to him, and only then did he know about the situation of the triangular-eyed woman in the station hall.
The woman had mental problems, sometimes she was awake and sometimes she was confused. It was said that her husband and children were both injured in a car accident and were hit and ran to the station for a fuss.
Some people saw that she was pitiful and gave her some money. I don’t know who gave the woman a trick to keep her paying money by the toilet.
Some people would give her 50 cents if they knew the situation. Many people didn't know about it, and they had a lot of fights with the woman.
Hao Caiyun sighed while talking to the elder brother next to him more and more.
"Are you back from working outside? Which village is from?" The eldest brother came over with a dark face.
Hao Caiyun said that he was from Yangshugou Village and had been working in Beijing. He had not been home for more than seven years.
When he said this, the eldest brother retracted his neck and leaned against the seat. The expression on his face was a bit intriguing.
Hao Caiyun was so uncomfortable when he was seen. After further questioning, he realized why the elder brother had such a reaction.
The elder brother and aunt's sister married into Hao Caiyun's village, and happened to tell the story of a young wife in Yangshugou Village who went to Beijing to work for several years and did not go home.
The story version says that Hao Caiyun is working as a nanny in Beijing, and is not deliberate. He seduces the old employer and does shameful things and dares not go home.
There are even more outrageous rumors that Hao Caiyun was a ruthless daughter-in-law. She beat her eldest son to death and buried him in the ditch in the middle of the night. Under the banner of going out to find a child, she naturally left her husband and younger son and refused to go home. In fact, she was free and carefree outside.
Hao Caiyun's face turned pale when she heard this.
Thinking about it with your knees, you also know who spread these rumors.
Except for Zhang Guihua, who was shouting to catch the thief, there was no one else.
"Thank you, brother, for telling me, otherwise, I wouldn't know that if I haven't returned home for the past few years, there will be such rumors spreading. Now that I'm back, I'll look at the one who spreads the rumors, and whether I dares to come out to confront me!"
Hao Caiyun's good mood when he returned home disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Get off the car from the fork in the road, and walked up the small road back to the village with two bags.
When I was at home, I thought the road was long and wide, but now when I walk up again, I feel it is narrow and messy.
The road is covered with weeds, and the original gravel road has been built into a cement road. However, the cement road is full of bumpy pits and is not easier to walk than the gravel road.
Hao Caiyun wore a pair of black leather shoes with five centimeter heels. When she walked, she was really tired.
When we reached the entrance of the village, it was already dinner time. The chimneys of each house were emitting fine smoke, which was quiet and comfortable.
The news she went home did not tell Wu Xiongfei and her younger son in advance that she just wanted to give them a surprise.
When passing by the entrance of the yard of the father-in-law's house at the entrance of the village, Hao Caiyun glanced at it, and the door was open, and she had no intention of going in to take a look.
Although she hadn't seen each other for many years, she could still imagine the twisted face of her father-in-law pointing at her nose and scolding.
When I passed by a neighbor's house, I found that many neighbor's houses had been renovated and the yard was reorganized.
In the past, there were brick and tile houses, and the walls were covered with red bricks and living earth. Now, I see that many houses have tiles on the outside of the houses, and the windows have large glass, and the yard has cement floors.
Perhaps because of the meal, everyone cooks or eats at home, and there is no sign of the old man and aunt who often chats on weekdays on the stone pier at the door.
When Hao Caiyun stood at the door of his yard in the yard of the earthen house, his brow frowned.
She remembered that two years ago, when Wu Xiongfei said that the wooden fence gate at home could not block the horses, she always ran out to find the horses in the middle of the night. She transferred 10,000 yuan to Wu Xiongfei and asked him to repair the courtyard wall a little higher and change the courtyard gate with the iron fence.
He pushed open the courtyard gate to his chest and walked towards the door step by step in a heavy mood. At this distance of less than 100 meters, Hao Caiyun repeatedly told himself not to be anxious and not to lose his temper. If you have anything, ask and talk carefully.
The red-brown horse, who was eating grass in the stable in the yard, looked up at her and sniffed.
This horse was not the one she left home.
Inside the house, Wu Xiongfei was holding a stainless steel bowl and eating noodles.
When Hao Caiyun walked into the door, he was shocked by the darkness inside the house for a moment, and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly.
Wu Xiongfei held the bowl in one hand and picked up the noodles with chopsticks in the other hand. A drop of shaky noodle soup was hanging on his chin. He was stunned when he looked at the person who came in with his back.
"Xiongfei, I'm back. What are you eating? I'm hanging noodles, there's no dish or anything?" Hao Caiyun put down his bag and squatted beside Wu Xiongfei sitting on the bench.
While he stared at her in a daze, Hao Caiyun took a bowl and took a sip of the noodle soup. He still praised him: "It's okay, I know how to stir-fry the noodles in the pan with meat oil, it's quite fragrant. Is there any more? Cook a bowl for me."
Wu Xiongfei didn't say anything throughout the whole process. He took his bowl and the remaining noodles and noodle soup into his stomach. He got up and brushed the pot, cut the scallion and stir-fry the pot, and cooked a bowl of noodles for Hao Caiyun.
He didn't ask Hao Caiyun why he suddenly came back. He didn't mention what was the rumors that Zhang Guihua had spread all over the sky in and outside the village. He didn't ask whether Hao Caiyun would still leave when he came back this time.
But Hao Caiyun knew that Wu Xiongfei's attitude towards her was no different from before. He just didn't like to talk and was just a dull gossip.
But even if Wu Xiongfei didn't even give her a smile, she felt that it was so good to go home.
My youngest son lives in school and when he closes the door and goes to bed at night, there are only two people.
Lying on the warm kang, Hao Caiyun's sore waist finally felt a little more comfortable after riding in the car for a day.
Heart-to-heart talk before going to bed is the best atmosphere.
"Xiongfei, I'm back this time, I want to discuss something with you." When I have something to ask for, my tone must be gentle. That's what Hao Caiyun thought.
Wu Xiongfei didn't say anything.
Hao Caiyun knew he was listening.
"I'll go to the old man tomorrow to ask. If he still says Dayong is in Beijing, we will go back to Beijing together. After so many years, I've been looking for my son outside and I've been thinking about you in my heart. I don't make much money in the family's crops, so you don't have to farm."
"After separation for so many years, don't you think about me?"
Hao Caiyun was waiting for a reply with his ears pricked up, but Wu Xiongfei still didn't move at all. The quietness made Hao Caiyun think he was asleep.
However, she took the initiative to mention the rumors about her.
"Xiongfei, I heard some rumors about me in the car home. I know that it must be Zhang Guihua who came back and said something before. Whether you believe it or not, I have to explain it to you clearly. I have not done anything wrong in the past few years. The person who looks for the old man outside is Zhang Guihua, not me."
"If you don't believe me, I can confront Zhang Guihua in person... Alas? Xiongfei, what are you doing? You get into my quilt... You..."
It was only this night that Hao Caiyun realized that Wu Xiongfei's method of verifying whether she was loyal was so simple and crude.
The key is that since that night, Wu Xiongfei has believed in what she said.
