The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chang Wei raised the corner of his mouth with his signature charming smile, and after he finished speaking, he winked at Liang Ladi hintingly.

Liang Ladi blushed immediately and pinched the corner of her clothes and said "hmm" softly.

Oh! Damn, you have a lot of ways.

I understood what he meant immediately. This was to cover up. Otherwise, if a grown-up girl came to find a man, there would definitely be a lot of gossip.

"Little baby, you are so smart."

Chang Wei smiled, looked at her cute appearance and added another sentence.

"If someone asks, it's one dollar for one pig!"

Little baby? Liang Ladi felt sweet in her heart, glanced at him shyly, and said playfully. "You~Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away!"

Chang Wei smiled brightly and reached out to scratch her nose affectionately. "Don't be afraid, you are a priceless treasure in my heart. Okay, go back quickly!"

In this day and age, Liang Ladi couldn't stand such explicit love words.

"Hate!"

Liang Ladi's chest was pounding, and she shyly lowered her head to look at her toes. Her heart was leaping with joy, she was a priceless treasure in his eyes, she was so happy...

"gone!"

Chang Wei saw that Liang Ladi had a kind of "blushing and frowning, the evening breeze has not yet fallen." He smiled brightly, pulled up the cart, waved his hand and left.

"My dear, I hate you but you still like me. You say one thing but mean another."

"Following me will change your life. You don't have to marry Peng Jizhong, that tuberculosis man, and you don't have to be a widow!"

Hearing this, Liang Ladi quickly raised her head to look at his tall and handsome figure, her eyebrows curved and eyes pointed as she shouted, "Hey! Call me Ladi from now on."

Chang Wei smiled brightly, and without turning around, he replied playfully, "I won't call you Hey either. Just call me Awei from now on."

Liang Ladi stared at Chang Wei's receding figure with her soft eyes, and waved vigorously from behind, her voice clear and cheerful. "Brother Wei, goodbye!"

This is my beloved brother, so nice and simple.

Chang Wei was able to come up with the excuse of asking Liang Ladi to collect pigs from her, but this was not what he had thought of at the moment.

Instead, he had already considered finding a few people in the village to help collect pigs. After dealing with the wild boars and accumulating a certain amount of money, he would go to Sijiu City to buy a shop. The business of the shop could involve various restaurants and even factories, and he would make a lot of money.

But for the time being, I still need to accumulate money. Apart from the hundred yuan I gave to Liang Ladi, I only have a few dollars in change left.

On the way back, Chang Wei's thoughts were flying, and he had some guesses about Liang Ladi's original script.

Logically speaking, her family should have a good life with her father's monthly salary of 18 yuan. But it was not the case in her home. The house smelled of medicine, which should be the cost of her mother's medicine, which took up a large part of her salary.

Judging from what happened today, we can almost guess why Liang Ladi has to take care of four children alone without any help from her family.

Maybe her parents didn't even survive her marriage for long before they were killed by her uncle's family. Is it still possible to have contact with such relatives?

The answer is clear, it is impossible.

Even marrying Peng Jizhong might be an act that the family was forced into when they had no other options.

……

Liang Ladi is here.

She stared blankly at Chang Wei's back as he walked away, like a woman waiting for her husband to leave.

Only when I could no longer see it did I reluctantly look away and happily go home.

As soon as they got home, the Liang Fengnian couple were delighted to see their daughter.

They were experienced people, and when they saw their daughter's expression, they knew that her heart had flown away. It would be better to go with the flow and make the fake become real. Anyway, they were 100% satisfied with Chang Wei. Such a good son-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern.

The embarrassing thing is that when Chang Wei was here just now, they kept calling him benefactor and forgot to ask his name.

Ding Yan asked quickly. "Daughter, have you caught up with your benefactor? Does he have a girlfriend?"

Liang Fengnian also asked, "Did you ask the benefactor's name?"

"Mom and Dad, Brother Awei's full name is Chang Wei, Chang means ordinary and Wei means powerful. But he has a girlfriend."

The old couple looked at each other and saw disappointment in each other's eyes.

Seeing Liang Ladi still laughing foolishly, Ding Yan lamented for no apparent reason.

"My benefactor has a girlfriend, and you are so happy, Ladi. Your father and I thought he was still single!"

"If you have a partner, then you have a partner. What's the problem..." Liang Ladi spoke too quickly and blurted out the words, then quickly covered her mouth.

Liang Fengnian was an honest man, and fearing that Liang Ladi would be possessed by evil spirits, he tried to persuade her earnestly. "Ladi, we can't do anything to let down our benefactor..."

Ding Yan didn't say anything. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She had already guessed Liang Ladi's thoughts.

"Dad, I didn't say I would do anything to let Brother Wei down. Look at what this is?"

Liang Ladi playfully took out the hundred yuan that Chang Wei had given her and shook it.

"Ladi, where did you get so much money?" the old couple asked in unison.

"Brother Awei gave it to me."

The old couple looked at each other again, and combined with Liang Ladi's expression when she returned, another conclusion came to mind. They didn't feel disgusted with this matter. Every rich man had several concubines. Last year, the new marriage law was promoted. Except for the principal wife who had to register with an extra piece of paper, the rest of the couple lived together as before.

After a moment of silence, Ding Yan spoke slowly. "Ladi, you have to think it over carefully. Hey! It's a new country, a new system. Now concubines not only have no name or status, but also have to be secretive..."

Liang Ladi blushed. She had already made up her mind. They just said it verbally. Chang Wei's family hasn't been settled yet! She didn't want to make her parents worry. "Mom and Dad, what are you thinking about? I want to go to play with Brother Awei. He asked me to help him collect two pigs when I go to his house."

But judging from what my parents said, they didn't object and seemed to be able to accept it. They lowered their head and looked at their toes, and added shyly, "My relationship with Brother Wei hasn't been finalized yet..."

The old couple didn't know what she meant. Their family was poor. They were satisfied that their daughter could meet such a man. They just let her be a little girl. They were open-minded.

Ding Yan took Liang Ladi's hand and began to teach her earnestly. "Ladi, you are a young lady when you enter the family, so you must first serve the man well. Secondly, you must coax the wife in his family, give in to her in everything, and work hard. No matter how old the other person is, if she is sweet and calls you sister, and is easy to get along with and can be as close as sisters, that would be the best..."

After the three of them talked about Chang Wei for a while, Liang Ladi took her parents to the hospital for a checkup. Xiaoliang Village is relatively close to Sijiu City, about ten kilometers away.

.........

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Wei returned home.

The cart was pulling a pig weighing six or seven hundred pounds, and the dirt road was bumpy. If we went too fast we were afraid of tripping over the piglets, so it took us more than an hour.

On the way, we came to a deserted place and took ten piglets into the space farm, leaving twenty behind. There were also chickens and a silly roe deer on the farm.

The two fat pigs were taken off the car and put into the pigsty, and the twenty piglets were placed in two pigsties.

After settling the pigs, Chang Wei did not return home, but pulled the cart straight to the wheat field in the village.

When he just came back, he happened to see Qin Zhengshan pulling wheat in the field. There was still a lot of wheat left, so he had to go and help.
