Chapter 29 Forgiveness
One day, Tongshan was in a daze when he worked in a workplace, just like a dry vegetable. Without the enthusiasm of the past, Zhao Yu called her several times but failed to wake her up.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Yu pulled the corner of her clothes with some concern.
Tong Shan shook his head silently, staring at the letters and silver notes spread out on his palms in a daze.
Zhao Yu glanced at the letter on her palm, not understanding what was good about it. This person had been staring at him for a day, and shouting so loudly that he didn't respond.
Could it be that I have never seen fifty taels of silver bills?
The shopkeeper over there raised his eyes and glanced at Tong Shan lightly. Since she sold the purse, she was completely wrong. After thinking about it carefully, she roughly knew what was going on.
She has never been a gossiper and doesn't like this, but...
The shopkeeper put Zihao aside and called the dazed woman and said, "Tongshan, if you are uncomfortable, go back first."
Seeing that she is not very focused on doing things today, it would be better to take her a vacation and let her go back and take a good rest.
Tong Shan was slightly stunned: "But...it's only noon?"
"It's okay, the restaurant is not busy today. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and take a break earlier. I'll come back when I'm ready tomorrow." The shopkeeper lowered his eyes and recorded the number in the account book. As he spoke, he glanced at her, with all his words.
Tong Shan pursed his lips tightly and squeezed the letter in his hand tightly. The letter and the silver note were both pinched and wrinkled.
"Sorry, the shopkeeper...I..." Tong Shan didn't know what happened to him today. After selling the mandarin duck purse, he felt depressed and uncomfortable, and he kept feeling sour that she had never felt before.
"It's okay." The shopkeeper didn't look up, his eyes still moved on the account book, and his voice seemed to be comforting: "Go back and take a break."
............
On the way back, Tongshan thought of countless ways to ask Jiang Huaiqing what he meant? The mandarin duck purse and the poem above.
But when she thought about it, she seemed not qualified to ask him this question.
She is not his person, she may be a kind-hearted person to him.
The heart became more and more dull, and even the scorching sun above my head could not warm up the chilling heart of Tongshan.
Until I arrived at the door of Jiang Huaiqing's house in a daze, I looked down at the wrinkled letters and silver notes in my hand, and didn't knock on the door for a long time.
The woman stood upright for some time. When Jiang Huaiqing, who had been in the house for a long time, just wanted to go out to pour water, opened the door and saw the person standing silently at the door. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Tongshan, why are you here?"
Tong Shan raised his head and calmed down, pursing his lips and remained silent.
Jiang Huaiqing looked her whole body, a little puzzled: "How long have you been here? Why don't you knock on the door?"
He was almost scared just now.
Seeing that the woman was still silent, Jiang Huaiqing's eyes softened a little, and she turned her body to the side and invited her in: "Come in first."
Tong Shan shook his head, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before handing over the thing in his hand, and his voice became hoarse: "This is the money to sell the purse..." The letter was pressed under the silver bill, and was already wet by the cold sweat on her palms. Tong Shan looked at the letter in a daze, and his voice became lower and lower: "There is another letter."
The woman's lost appearance made Jiang Huaiqing's heart tremble slightly. Ignoring the slightest discomfort, I raised my slender fingers and took the letters and silver notes in her hand, and lowered my eyes and said softly.
The man was not as happy as she imagined. Toyamamoto was still disappointed and she had hope for unknown reasons. The man said carefully: "You... that mandarin duck purse...what does the poem above mean?"
Bumping
As soon as the words came out, my heart began to pound wildly.
Tongshan felt depressed and uncomfortable when he didn't ask, but after asking, he jumped extremely abnormally, waiting for the man's original intention with breathing and nervously.
I just hope it won’t be what she thought. Tong Shan didn’t know what was wrong with her, and had never experienced such a feeling, and he could no longer control this abnormal phenomenon.
Jiang Huaiqing lowered his eyes, gently stroked the letter in his hand with his thumb. After a long time, his fingertips stopped and finally sighed: "It's what Miss Tongshan thought." He raised his head and looked at her quietly: "It's what the mandarin duck means."
It was just out of place, but I finally got the opportunity to fly out of this place that did not belong to him.
The flames that were lifted in Tongshan's eyes were completely extinguished, and the fist that was hanging beside him was released. He took a step back in distractedly, stared at the tip of his shoes, and then said softly for a long time.
The seedlings that had just been launched in my heart were uprooted and crushed before they could take care of them.
She lowered her head and endured the sourness in her eyes. This uncontrollable emotion made Tong Shan feel a little panicked. She couldn't help but raise her arm and wipe her eyes quickly, turning her back to press her voice: "Then... I have something to do, let's go first..."
"Wait!" Before the woman could leave, Jiang Huaiqing hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, looking at her eyes full of complexity: "Do you want to... go in and sit?"
Tong Shan shook his head silently.
Now she no longer wants to see him, at least she doesn't want to.
“Ashan…”
Just as Tong Shan wanted to pull back his sleeves, he was shocked by the man's murmur and turned his head to look at him in disbelief.
This is the first time, and it is the first time that someone other than my father calls her like this.
Jiang Huaiqing held her sleeve tightly, and rippled in the woman's soft eyes. He suddenly slowly approached her and pressed his forehead against the woman's shoulders.
Tongshan was instantly reincarnated, his eyes slightly widened, and even his breathing became much lighter.
"Do you know?" Jiang Huaiqing leaned on her shoulder, the softness in her eyes dissipated, and the darkness in her eyes became. She slowly said to her: "When I was bought by the Ding family, I was always thinking about how to escape."
"But I didn't have the ability at that time, and no one was willing to help me, just because I was bought from outside by the Ding family for silver..." Thinking of those helpless days, Jiang Huaiqing's hand holding her sleeve tighter and tried to absorb some sense of security.
"I tried my best to even force myself to death, but it was useless. This family would rather watch me die in front of them than let me go. But I don't want to die. At least there is a glimmer of hope for life."
"I can only pretend to compromise first and become a kin to the Ding family's daughter..."
"It's like he really became the husband of the Ding family, serving them carefully. At first, Ding Chang was still very good to treat me, but... but later, she was sobbed and scolded by her father. That period was like a nightmare. Even after a long time, she would still be awakened at night."
After hearing that he was treated like this, Tong Shan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, restraining the resentment that arose in his heart.
Jiang Huaiqing couldn't see her horrible appearance at this moment. He grabbed her sleeve and slowly moved upwards, climbing directly on her shoulders, and his eyes dissipated darkly, and continued to say lightly: "Later, it might be that God opened his eyes and made Ding Chang fall to death when he came up the mountain. He thought he wouldn't be beaten or scolded anymore, but... he was still too simple after all..."
"The two veterans of the Ding family blame me for everything. They think that everything was brought by me, the broom star, and they even beat me up. They wanted to send me to accompany their daughter!"
"But, guess what happened later?" Jiang Huaiqing sneered with hatred in his eyes: "I don't know if God really can't see it. The two of them went to the place where Ding Chang came to worship that day, but they accidentally fell down the mountain."
At that time, his situation was completely relaxed. Although everyone in the village was retreating when they saw him, he didn't care and didn't need the mercy of those people.
"So...you use me to help you get out of here?" Tong Shan, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Yes, only she is willing to get close to him, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Jiang Huaiqing bit her thin lips and rubbed her forehead against her shoulder. Without answering her words, she continued to whisper: "Do you know? When I was not sold to this village, before I fell into the hands of human traffickers, I was the only son in the family. My mother was in business. Although the family business was not very big, she had never let me suffer..."
But things were unpredictable. He lost all his money overnight and his parents passed away. Unfortunately, he fell into the hands of human traffickers.
At that time, Jiang Huaiqing felt that the sky had collapsed.
"I'm sorry..." The man's voice was choked with sobs, sobbing behind her: "I really... just want to leave here..."
"I'm sorry...Ashan is sorry..."
Jiang Huaiqing knew that he might never be able to find a woman like her to treat him like her in the future, but he really, really...
Don't want to live like this again...
The man cried behind her and couldn't help but cry. In the past, Tongshan just saw his calm and gentle side. It turned out that he was actually as fragile as an ordinary man. His wandering life made him know better how to hide himself.
At this moment, Tong Shan forgave him. Compared with him, her life was at least stable.
Tong Shan turned around and hugged the crying man into his arms, patting his back with callous hands, just like when his father comforted her when he was a child: "It's okay."
Try to ignore the slight slight pain in my heart, Tong Shan whispered in his ear: "It's good that you're happy..."
She knew that relationships could not be forced, not to mention that it was the way he wanted to choose, and she really couldn't give him such a rich life.
Jiang Huaiqing tightly huddled in her arms. Listening to the soft comfort of the woman in his ears made him feel a little sad. The tears at the corners of his eyes were even more intense, as if he was about to flow out the grievances he had suffered in the past.
