Chapter 132 Women Are Human Too
Gu Qinghuai decided to take the three little ones out more often to see the world and experience more concrete things. The growth of one's mind and will requires tempering little by little.
It is difficult to make great progress if you stay in a small space all day.
I'll take them all with me when I go to the provincial capital to develop the soap market in a few days.
In the yard, the three little ones gathered around the brazier, burning wood ash. They were all silent, not as lively as before.
Gu Qingsong and Gu Qingya kept adding dry firewood to the brazier. The two kids had dull expressions and their eyes were a little empty.
Gu Qingmiao used a fire poker to stir the brazier so that the firewood could burn more thoroughly.
The little girl also knew how to read people's expressions. She would glance at her brother and sister from time to time and deliberately find topics to make them happy, but to no avail.
Seeing Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo walking into the yard, Gu Qingmiao jumped up happily: "Third sister, little Shitou cousin!"
Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Miaomiao, don't come over yet. Third sister and cousin Xiao Shitou need to wash their hands and change clothes."
"I'll get you some water!" Qingmiao picked up a wooden basin and ran to the kitchen.
Gu Qingsong looked at Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo's hands, and his breathing slowed down a bit: "Third sister, are she...are they...all buried?"
Gu Qingya also looked straight over, even her hair was filled with fear.
She never dared to go to the back mountain again. As soon as she closed her eyes, the gray face of the little girl appeared in her mind.
"Well, don't worry, they are all buried. The grave is quite far from the foot of the mountain, so you won't be able to see it if you go to the back mountain," Gu Qinghuai comforted in a gentle voice.
Gu Qingsong and Gu Qingya both breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing their hands and changing their clothes, Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo walked into the kitchen.
There is minced meat porridge and egg pancakes in the pot, and it smells delicious.
Qi Yuanshuo hurriedly finished his breakfast. Gu Qinghuai made some food for him and prepared two packets of sleeping pills.
"Be careful and come back alive!" Gu Qinghuai wanted to pat Qi Yuanshuo on the shoulder to show his concern and encouragement, but thinking that this guy didn't like to be touched by others, he pinched his fingers and held back.
Qi Yuanshuo's eyes sparkled, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaohuai, I will be back as soon as possible. However, Ma Han is going to poison and burn the house tonight——"
"I can handle it. He Lizheng will also find someone to testify. This time I will kill Ma Han and Chen Xiuhua, and castrate Ma Han. Don't they want sons and hate daughters? I will make sure they have no descendants in this life!" Gu Qinghuai said ruthlessly.
Qi Yuanshuo: ...
"Do you want to wait for me to come back and then... castrate him? It's better for men to do this kind of thing," Qi Yuanshuo said with a red face.
"No need, I'm very familiar with it," Gu Qinghuai waved his hand.
Qi Yuanshuo: ...
That's right, she is a married woman and she does understand the male body structure very well.
But even so, how can one castrate a man personally?
Gu Qinghuai added: "You know, I can't beat or kill a woman. Keep Chen Xiuhua for now, and when you come back, take care of her. Make sure she can't have any children in her lifetime!"
Qi Yuanshuo nodded: "Okay, as you say."
Gu Qinghuai pushed him: "Go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you will come back."
Qi Yuanshuo looked back at her and strode out.
As soon as the Chen hour arrived, everyone who was going to work came.
Under the sun, more than thirty men and women started to work with their arms rolled up. Some were pulling soil, some were mixing mud, and some were making adobe bricks. Everyone was talking and laughing together, full of energy.
Gu Qingshan counted the number of people and kept a record.
Gu Qinghuai boiled a pot of heat-clearing tea, put it in a wooden barrel, and asked the three little ones to carry it out.
If children go outside and run more often, their fear will dissipate faster.
Next, Gu Qinghuai started making soap.
After serving tea, the three little ones returned to the yard to burn wood ash.
After a while, Gu Qingsong came to the kitchen reluctantly, looked at Gu Qinghuai, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
"What's wrong, Song'er?" Gu Qinghuai asked in a gentle voice while sitting on a wooden stool and filtering the wood ash.
Gu Qingsong frowned, scratched the wooden door with his hands, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, will people's faces turn like that after they die?"
Gu Qinghuai paused what he was doing and looked up at Gu Qingsong. He saw that the usually lively little adult was now unhappy and listless. He must have been frightened by the "dead look" on his younger sister's face.
Gu Qinghuai put down the ash, washed his hands, walked forward, held Gu Qingsong's hand and said, "Song'er, after a person dies, the blood under the skin will stop flowing, and the face will naturally become gray and full of death. In fact, this is the same as flowers and trees dying and falling. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Gu Qingsong pursed his lips and said, "Third sister, I think Lai Di and her sister were so pitiful when they were so young and were thrown into the mountains like that. Their parents are so cruel."
"Well, they are indeed very pitiful. Lai Di's parents favor boys over girls and despise them extremely. They don't regard them as human beings at all, which led to their tragic fate. There are many poor girls like them in this world, and there are many parents as cruel as their parents. Song'er, do you think girls deserve to be respected and loved?" Gu Qinghuai didn't want the men in the family to have the idea of favoring boys over girls, so they had to be educated from an early age.
Gu Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Where there are men, there are women. Women are also human beings. Why can't they be respected and loved?"
Gu Qinghuai pinched his nose and said, "Then Song'er, think about it. Why do so many people in this world despise women, disrespect women, and trample on women? Come and tell me when you figure it out, okay?"
Gu Qingsong's attention was diverted, and his eyes lit up again, "Okay, Third Sister, I will definitely think about this issue seriously."
"Well, go ahead, Third Sister is going to make soap," Gu Qinghuai patted his head.
As soon as Gu Qinghuai sat down, he heard Gu Qingsong's vigilant voice in the yard, "Aunt Liu, what are you doing here at my house?"
Gu Qinghuai walked out of the kitchen and saw Kuhua Nai's second daughter-in-law, Tang Liu, walking in with a smile on her face.
"Oh, why are you still burning a brazier in the middle of summer?" Tang Liu said angrily.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Qinghuai looked at her coldly and did not treat her kindly just because she was the daughter-in-law of Kuhua Nai.
Kuhuanai is Kuhuanai, Liu is Liu, Gu Qinghuai is not guilty of any crime, nor does he betray her.
What's more, she was already suppressing her anger today, and Liu had to bump into her.
Liu was obviously stunned for a moment. She thought that the young widow would give her some face for the sake of her old woman, but she didn't expect that this bitch would give her a cold face right from the start.
Liu forced a smile and said, "Xiao Huai, why didn't you ask us for help when you were making adobe bricks to build the house? Your grandmother Kuhua felt very strange, so she asked me to come and ask."
Gu Qinghuai said coldly: "My grandmother Kuhua is not that kind of person. I remember that except for my grandmother Kuhua, everyone in your family seemed to look down on my family and were unwilling to have any contact with us.
A few days ago, I went to the county town and met your Tang family's eldest sister-in-law. I took the initiative to greet her, but she ignored me. Why, you came here to make friends with me because you saw my family building a house and there were benefits for you?"
Liu's face turned pale and blue, "You...you, humph! I wonder how long you can be so proud!"
"I can always be proud, more and more proud, and always proud! You all watch carefully!" Gu Qinghuai said proudly.
