"Mm!" Lin Wenhui nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey!" Zhi Lan sighed and said, "You, Shusheng Brother, and An Bingwen, are all outsiders. It's not easy in Liu Family Village, especially for An Bingwen and her. Both of them are from the Han ethnicity, so we can sympathize with each other!" After saying this, Zhi Lan took off her clothes and lay down.
"Yeah, sometimes Shusheng Brother is strong but feels powerless. Sister Xiuzhen is not someone to be trifled with; if you provoke her, you'll end up arguing for ten days or half a month. Speaking of which, although the village says otherwise, to be honest, Shusheng Brother really seems more suited to Cui Fen than to Sister Xiuzhen." As Lin Wenhui spoke, he lifted the pillow under Zhi Lan's back a little higher to make her more comfortable.
Zhi Lan smiled at him knowingly.
That night, Lin Wenhui and Jia Zhilan sat on the bed lamenting about An Bingwen and Bai Cuifen for a long time.
When it came to taking care of Bai Cuifen and An Bingwen's family, Lin Wenhui did not care for them any less than Qing Shusheng did. Besides feeling sympathy for An Bingwen and Bai Cuifen's situation, it was more about shared suffering or mutual understanding.
It turned out that besides Qing Shusheng and An Bingwen, there was also Lin Wenhui in Liu Family Village.
However, Lin Wenhui was not an outsider; he had been adopted from the neighboring village. His current mother was actually his aunt. After his uncle and aunt married, they had no children for three years. Later, when his uncle passed away due to illness, his aunt remained a widow. Lin Wenhui's biological father saw that his sister had no children and had no intention of remarrying, so when Lin Wenhui was eight years old, he adopted him as his aunt's son.
Originally, after being adopted into Liu Family Village, Lin Wenhui should have taken his uncle's surname Liu. However, Lin Wenhui's family came from a scholarly background, and his aunt was one of the few literate women of that era. She did not care about the concept of carrying on the family line, so she insisted that Lin Wenhui keep his maternal family name.
Since his aunt could read and write herself, she would not allow Lin Wenhui to be illiterate. Although they lived a poor life as an orphaned mother and son, they received occasional help from maternal relatives and her persistent efforts allowed Lin Wenhui to continue his studies until he graduated from the county high school.
After graduating from high school, under his biological father's arrangement, he initially worked as a factory worker in the county. Later, due to his aunt's poor health, he left the factory and returned to the village team to become a private teacher.
Not long after marrying Zhi Lan, his aunt passed away. Soon after that, they had a daughter named Lin Xi.
In Liu Family Village, Lin Wenhui is also without relatives, belonging to a sparsely populated household, similar to An Bingwen's situation. However, they are somewhat better off than An Bingwen, as they are not outsiders; Lin Wenhui has his parents and siblings nearby, and Jia Zhilan also has maternal family members in the vicinity.
As Lin Wenhui and Jia Zhilan sat on the bed discussing An Bingwen, comparing their circumstances and reflecting on the situation of An Bingwen and Bai Cuifen, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and pity.
After chatting for a while, Lin Wenhui and Jia Zhilan lay down on the bed and unknowingly closed their eyes.
He was too tired.
Once Lin Wenhui fell asleep, Jia Zhilan turned off the light and went to bed as well.
After midnight, the sounds of people gradually faded away in the village, and the lights slowly went out, plunging the entire Liu Family Village into deep darkness.
Once Lin Wenhui and Zhi Lan fell asleep, they quickly entered a deep slumber.
Close to dawn, in the silent and dark night sky, a sudden barking of dogs broke the tranquility, instantly throwing Liu Family Village into chaos.
