Chapter 28: Don’t You Have A Corner To Cry In Your Own House?

Su Wantang shook her head in bewilderment: “I didn’t see anything!”

Su Jianguo had already opened the door to his room, then turned back and said, “I saw that girl looking for you with red eyes, and she seemed to be limping. You two are so close, why don’t you go to her house tomorrow to see her?”

As soon as Su Jianguo finished speaking, the door was flung open, and Su Wantang rushed out like the wind.

Only her voice echoed in the air: “I’ll go find her now, don’t wait for me, go to bed early!”

Su Jianguo looked at the figure that had disappeared in an instant, shook his head helplessly, and showed a doting smile before entering the room.

He knew in his heart that the relationship between these two was so good that they could practically wear the same pants.

Zhang Daniu and Su Wantang grew up together. Zhang Daniu was very outgoing and had always acted like an older sister, protecting Su Wantang and preventing her from being bullied.

Especially after Su Wantang’s mother passed away, Zhang Daniu cared for her even more.

Not only did Zhang Daniu treat her well, but Zhang Daniu’s mother and grandmother would always give Su Wantang a share of anything delicious they had.

Zhang Daniu’s mother, Zhang Li, had married a gambler who not only gambled but also drank and abused her.

Every time he lost money, he would come home drunk and beat Zhang Li.

At that time, many women, for the sake of their children, to avoid being laughed at, and for the sake of so-called reputation,

chose to endure it, bearing all the hardship and difficulty themselves.

Zhang Li was a brave woman. She resolutely left that pit of fire with her daughter, far away from that gambler.

But how could that gambler let them go so easily?

So he shamelessly threatened Zhang Li, saying she could leave, but she had to pay him fifty yuan.

At that time, fifty yuan was a huge sum of money!

When Zhang Li’s mother learned of her daughter’s plight, she was heartbroken and would do anything, even sell everything she owned, to get her daughter out of this misery.

Finally, they managed to scrape together fifty yuan by borrowing money everywhere.

Under the witness of the village head, Zhang Li gave the gambler fifty yuan, signed the divorce papers, and returned to her mother’s house with Zhang Daniu.

After returning to her mother’s house, Zhang Li worked even harder, saving every penny, and finally paid off all her debts.

Over the years, perhaps having had enough of the bitterness of marriage, Zhang Li did not remarry, but raised her daughter and mother alone with difficulty.

Night had fallen. A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves, and occasionally a few chirps of insects could be heard.

Su Wantang, holding a kerosene lamp, hurried to the corner of her own earthen house.

Her gaze fell on the shadowy figure still crouching in the corner and crying.

Oh no.

It wasn’t a ghost.

It was Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu with a shadow.

Indeed, folk legends cannot be entirely believed, otherwise one would scare oneself to death.

Su Wantang took a deep breath and walked over, shining the kerosene lamp on Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu heard the sound and looked up with red eyes and a face full of tears.

The light shone on Su Wantang’s face, and Zhang Daniu felt that she looked like a god who could save her.

With tears in her eyes, she was about to get up and hug Su Wantang.

Then she heard Su Wantang suddenly ask her, “Zhang Daniu, are you crazy? Why are you crying at the corner of my house so late at night? Don’t you have a corner to cry in your own house?”

As a result, Zhang Daniu, who had been silently weeping, suddenly felt extremely wronged, and her tears flowed like a broken dam.

She squatted at the corner of Su Wantang’s house and cried loudly.

Su Wantang’s heart softened slightly, and she let out a sigh of relief, sliding down gently against the wall and sitting on the ground, looking up at the starry sky.

It’s good to cry.

When people encounter setbacks, they should cry when they want to cry.

If you cry, don’t cry quietly.

You should cry out loud, vent your feelings loudly.

This is an effective way to relieve stress.

Holding back tears is very harmful to your body and mind.

She quietly listened to Zhang Daniu’s loud cries, silently enduring Zhang Daniu wiping her nose and tears on her sleeve.
