Chapter 52

What kind of person was Niu Dali? He was the number one scourge of Kaoshan Village!

A person who stole chickens and dogs, did no good, and even forced his own wife to her death! Which woman would dare to marry him?

How much water would Shen Wei have to have in her head to agree!

And Niu Qun, who had always been upright, also had responsibility for Shen Wei jumping into the river. For the sake of his nephew, Niu Qun actually persuaded Shen Wei to marry Niu Dali!

How could Shen Wei voluntarily jump into a fire pit? So Niu Qun left helplessly!

But Niu Dali was not a good thing to begin with, so naturally, he couldn't let Shen Wei go!

Then, it was either knocking on the door in the middle of the night, smashing windows, or running to Shen Wei's house in broad daylight to pester her endlessly!

And Niu Qun, after beating Niu Dali a few times, really couldn't manage him anymore and just ignored it!

Wang An in his previous life, although he had a bad reputation and was overbearing with livestock, didn't actively bully people!

And he had a little bit of chivalry! Of course, he couldn't stand to see this kind of thing!

But there were many disputes in front of a widow's door, and the Niu family was powerful. In Kaoshan Village, the Niu family was definitely not to be trifled with!

The Niu surname family in Kaoshan Village was even more powerful than the Feng Chengmin family in Linjia Village!

The countryside at this time was just like this, no matter how messed up Niu Dali was! But as long as Niu Dali was bullied by someone of another surname, the Niu family had to take care of it!

Therefore, Wang An only dared to secretly deal a few heavy blows to Niu Dali!

Unfortunately, it was of no use!

But Wang An, no matter how awesome he was at that time, didn't dare to kill anyone!

In '82, which was the year before '83, everyone had two words for people like Niu Dali: helpless!

A female educated youth from the city in her twenties with a child, not eating enough, not sleeping well, with no relatives in Kaoshan Village, yet no one had the ability to help her!

How could she withstand this constant mental fear and life's suffering!

Just like that, Shen Wei, at only 26 years old, in this utter despair where heaven didn't respond and earth didn't answer, jumped into the river with her child!

One year after Shen Wei jumped into the river, the great wave of '83 rolled in, and Niu Dali was finally successfully rewarded with a peanut (bullet) and embarked on the path of reincarnation!

Although at that time, no matter where you were, it was the time when there were the most messy people!

But Kaoshan Village was guilty!

Wang An looked at the pretty widow in front of him, his thoughts in turmoil for a moment!

But he still greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you're here. My mother and the others are working in the courtyard! Come into the courtyard, sister-in-law!"

Shen Wei's deceased husband was a very good person when he was alive, a few years older than Wang An, and Wang An called him brother!

Forced by survival to choose to go into the mountains, he unfortunately died on the road of ginseng hunting!

Shen Wei saw Wang An petting the dogs and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother, it's like this. Just now, sister-in-law saw you pulling mountain livestock back, right?"

Shen Wei was an educated youth from the south; although she had been in the Northeast for many years, her accent hadn't been completely assimilated and was a bit sweet.

As soon as Shen Wei said this, Wang An understood; she wanted some meat!

Wang An didn't care about wanting some mountain livestock meat; if she wanted some, he should give her some. This was the rule, and there was no problem with it in the village!

Besides, when he caught the first wild boar, Liu Guilan had sent meat to Shen Wei's house.

Of course, kindness was one aspect, but Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan also had thoughts about Shen Wei.

Their own son Wang An had a bad reputation, and no girl agreed to marry him for a long time. If they really couldn't find anyone, Liu Guilan wanted to discuss with Shen Wei and let her marry Wang An!

Although Shen Wei was a widow, five years older than Wang An, and had a child, it was better than her son being a bachelor for a lifetime!

Parents are all like this, worrying endlessly for their children!

This was also why when Wang An married Mu Xueqing and brought her home, Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan felt as if they had unloaded a heavy burden they had been carrying, instantly feeling several years younger!

Wang An said with a smile, "Mm, it's a black bear. Sister-in-law, go into the courtyard, and let my mother cut you a piece of meat to eat."

After saying this, he was about to squat down and continue petting the dogs. Although Shen Wei was curvy, full of charm, and a little widow!

But compared to Mu Xueqing, she was truly a grade lower! Mu Xueqing's beauty was beauty without a single flaw, invincible beauty!

Therefore, Wang An didn't care much about this pretty widow at all!

But things wouldn't develop in a plain and unrelated way just because Wang An didn't care much!

Some people and some things, once you get involved, you're stuck!

However, living a new life, not talking about the nonsense of saving China or the world, he couldn't let such a messed-up tragedy repeat itself!

Wang An wasn't a good person either, but he had to have a clear conscience!

At this time, he heard Shen Wei say clumsily, "That... um, it's just, can you give me the black bear's paw? No, I'll buy it. I'll give you money later!"

Wang An's eyes widened immediately after hearing this; he was truly shocked!

As for black bear meat, whoever asked for it, a little more or less didn't matter, but no one had ever heard of anyone asking for a black bear's paw! Who would dare to open their mouth for this!

China has a very long history of eating black bear paws and bear paws; everyone knows this is a good thing!

Although black bear paws aren't very valuable now, a front paw weighs about 5 pounds, and a back paw weighs at least 7 pounds; they basically cost 2 yuan a pound at the market!

Although the little widow said she would buy it, it would cost at least one ten-yuan bill!

A ten-yuan bill, in this era, is not a small amount! It's more than half a month's salary for a temporary worker!

A strong farmer working for a year, after calculating work points at the end of the year, not counting the grain allocated, could only see a pitiful three or four bills!

When could this little widow save up one bill?

To be honest, Wang An didn't know how to refuse and was in a dilemma!

Shen Wei spoke clumsily again: "My... my mother-in-law, recently... her health, her health isn't very good! She said, she said when she was young... she ate... ate it once, and before she leaves, she wants to... taste it again!"

She said it with such difficulty! It made someone like Wang An, who was a bit impatient, feel terrible!

But Wang An understood; simply put, her mother-in-law wanted to eat it!

But he, Wang An, wasn't a charitable person who loved to help others!

But since they were neighbors, it didn't seem very good to refuse directly!

Day after day, why is this old lady so greedy? Isn't this giving me a hard time! I'm not even that close to you!

What the hell should I do!

Sigh! Forget it! This bitter educated youth is really having a hard time, let's help her this once!

"Let's go, sister-in-law, come into the courtyard with me, don't stand outside the gate," Wang An sighed.

Shen Wei nodded and followed Wang An into the courtyard!

The family was busy in the courtyard, although they were at the door of the house, they could vaguely hear the talking at the gate, but couldn't hear it clearly!

In the village, greeting and chatting was a very normal thing, so no one cared!

Until Wang An led someone into the courtyard, the family stood up one after another to look.

"Oh, Xiao Wei is here, why didn't you come straight into the courtyard, and were chatting at the gate instead?"

Please follow! Please follow! Please follow!

It's the end of the month, if you have tickets, throw them! Thank you, thank you!
