The story takes place in a small mountain village in Hai'an, Jiangsu. Liu Bin, an older guy, brought a flower-like girl Xiaohui from Guangyuan County, Sichuan Province, thousands of miles away, through marriage, and the two soon became a century-old friend. This incident made Liu Bin's neighbor, Wang Shiqin, who was still single in his thirties, moved, envied, and wanted to follow suit.
Chapter 1: The marriage letter of the marriage girl is forwarded to someone elseWang Shiqin's father died early, and the two brothers and their mother, who was over the age of six, depended on each other. After graduating from high school, Wang Shiqin was not admitted to university, and after working as a substitute teacher for a period of time, he worked as a farmer at home and was a well-known talent in the village. On weekdays, he wears a pair of glasses and looks very learned, but fate dooms him to not be a good farmer by nature, and despite many years of hard work, his family situation has not changed much. In addition, he is introverted and unsmiling, so Wang Shiqin, who is 30 years old, sees the young men of the same year marrying wives and having children one by one, and he is a "happy bachelor". The kind-hearted old man under the moon helped him introduce no less than one "class", but the girl always talked about one by one when she saw his family background, and the local girl was even more disliked by this bespectacled peasant who could neither write nor martial arts.
At the beginning of April this year, Xiaohui, the wife of the kind-hearted neighbor Liu Bin, brought a letter to Shiqin and said: "Brother, don't keep thinking about your daughter-in-law, let's see if this girl is suitable?" As soon as Wang Shiqin saw the girl's **, he asked where did it come from? Xiaohui said that this is the case, Liu Bin once published a "marriage notice" through the magazine to ask for marriage, and although Liu Bin is married to me, he still receives letters from some girls. I saw that you don't have a wife, so I chose one from the application letter, and this person is called Deng Zengfeng. Shiqin smiled and was silent, Xiaohui saw that Shiqin had this meaning, so she took Deng Zengfeng's letter and ** to Shiqin, Wang Shiqin read the application letter: I felt that Zengfeng's conditions were good in all aspects, and I couldn't help but be a little tempted.
Shiqin, who is good at pen and ink, replied with an enthusiastic letter, and sent a well-dressed **, Xiaohui also wrote a letter introducing Wang Shiqin's situation in the name of Sichuan compatriots and sent it to Deng Zengfeng in Sichuan.
Chapter 2: The wild goose passes the book, and the marriage is tied by a thousand milesDeng Zengfeng replied from thousands of miles away, expressing his willingness to correspond. The wild geese passed the book, expressing their love for each other, and the seeds of love began to sprout. The longer the letters of the two of them became, the more they played, and the hearts of the two people who were thousands of miles apart echoed each other and were closely connected.
One day two months later, a young woman with a delicate appearance, generous clothes, and a Sichuan accent stood at the door of Wang's house with Wang Shiqin's marriage letter and **, carrying a large suitcase. The girl behaved generously and introduced herself, Wang Shiqin recognized it as Zengfeng at a glance, like a "Sister Lin" falling from the sky, and couldn't help but be happy. Seeing that Deng Zengfeng is not only more beautiful than **, but more importantly, he looks lively and cute, full of girlish innocence and romance, and can't help but be overjoyed.
Deng Zengfeng felt that the Wang family was poor, and the four tiled houses formed a courtyard, but the environment was beautiful, and there was a small river outside the house, which surrounded the village, rich in the characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Shiqin felt that in the days of getting along with Deng Zengfeng, Deng Zengfeng was a sunny girl, who had both her own opinions and the gentleness of a woman. Shiqin felt happier than he had ever been, and he walked on the country road, singing happily.
A few days later, the two lovers began to confess their true feelings to each other, and Zengfeng said frankly: "I am not a girl, I have had a short and unhappy marriage, you will not dislike me, right?" ”
Shiqin looked at Zengfeng affectionately and said: "I have also been in love, but when I talk about one and blow another, the girls think my family is very poor." There is humility in the words.
Zeng Feng said affectionately: "As long as we truly love each other, a little money is nothing, and we have two pairs of hard-working hands." The two lovers in love finally hugged each other, and at that moment, Shiqin's heart trembled with happiness. In addition, a table of banquets revealed to people the marriage of thousands of miles brought by this letter.
When Zengfeng first arrived at the Wang family, the Wang family was very fond of her, she was very kind, she was both beautiful and very diligent, and the villagers praised her, saying that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family was really one in a hundred. Shiqin is even more considerate to Zengfeng, Zengfeng overcomes the difference in living habits, encounters the busy season in October, the responsibility of harvesting rice in the field is very hard, she and Shiqin together in the field to cut rice. Although Zengfeng was born in the countryside, he has been a nanny in the city for many years and has never had such a heavy job. Shiqin saw it in his eyes, it hurt in his heart, he was very tired after harvesting rice one day, and Shiqin said that he would not let Zengfeng be tired. The next day, she was not allowed to work in the field, Zengfeng still insisted on working in the field together, Shiqin felt that he was unhappy, and he always rushed to do it.
One day, a telegram came from Zengfeng's Sichuan mother's family, saying: "My father's leg has broken and he urgently needs 2,000 yuan." At that time, Shiqin couldn't take out so much money at once, and managed to get together 300 yuan to send it, and a few days later, Zengfeng's mother's family came with another letter, talking about the telegram: "The family raised a cow, which was stolen by others, and my father was a little angry, and accidentally fell off the bed when he slept at night, and broke his leg, and he needed money**, send some money back." Soon, Zengfeng returned to his hometown in Sichuan alone to visit his father, but Shiqin was unable to accompany him.
Before leaving, Shiqin asked Zengfeng to move his household registration to Hai'an as soon as possible, and go through the formalities of a marriage certificate, so as to register the marriage. Zeng Feng returned to his hometown in Sichuan, visited his father after a long absence, and returned to Hai'an after half a month of filial piety. However, there was one thing that disappointed Shiqin, Zengfeng's household registration could not be moved, and when passing through Nanjing, he only issued a temporary population and family planning certificate from Nanjing, saying that it was opened by a fellow villager he knew before when he stayed in Nanjing, and it took a lot of effort.
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, it snowed, snowflakes were floating all over the sky, and when I heard the snow rustling underground, Zengfeng had an incomparable excitement and joy in my heart. The children cheered outside, had snowball fights, built snow dolls, and played with Zengfeng's childlike heart. The weather is cold and warm, there are many families who marry daughters-in-law in the New Year, either the Zhang family or the Li family, the sound of firecrackers goes off every few days, and the children flock to it. Sometimes, Zengfeng also went to join in the fun, and when he saw the bride's shy appearance, Zengfeng was envious. And when Shiqin sees people doing happy events, he always complains a few words, without a marriage certificate, if you can't get a marriage certificate, when can you go through the formalities? Don't fly like the "Seven Fairies", leaving me alone to suffer in the world. Zengfeng said: "I gave everything to you, you still don't believe it, it will be proven." ”
After the Spring Festival, some people who came back from going out to work have embarked on the journey of working, Zengfeng said to Shiqin: "Good men are ambitious in all directions, and the income from going out to work is several times higher than that of farming at home. ”
Shiqin said: "There is an old mother who is over the age of sixteen at home, how can I rest assured." Zengfeng said: "With me, you can rest assured." Shiqin said a lot of excuses, and Zeng Feng was a little disappointed, it turned out that he was a man with no prospects. Thinking again, he couldn't stay at home for both of them, and soon, Zengfeng went to work in a woolen sweater factory not far from home.
Shiqin has always had a question about Zengfeng, why didn't she move her hukou? What especially disturbed him was that since Zengfeng entered the door of Wang's house, a suitcase she brought had been locked and rarely opened in front of Shiqin. Zengfeng also flickered, only saying that he was putting clothes, and there was nothing. At the beginning, Shiqin was also very understanding, but after a long time, doubts gradually became in Shiqin's heart. He even had a premonition of what was there, as if Zengfeng would pick up the locked suitcase and leave him at any moment. Especially recently, Shiqin heard the story of a woman "releasing pigeons" to cheat money, and he became suspicious, which made him even more eager to open the suitcase to find out.
The opportunity finally came, on this day, Zengfeng went to Hai'an with his neighbor Xiaohui early in the morning, Shiqin rummaged through the cabinets, found the key, and opened the suitcase. It turned out that there was a passbook of 6,000 yuan saved in the name of Zengfeng for a fixed period of one year. The scheming Shiqin put the passbook as it was, locked the box, and put the key back in its place.
After solving the mystery of the box, Shiqin was suspicious again. I couldn't help but think about one thing, last year Zengfeng's mother's family sent a telegram and a letter, saying that my father's broken leg needed money to treat, Zengfeng once asked me to help borrow 2,000 yuan to send to my father, at that time I couldn't take it out at once, only made up 300 yuan to send it, Zengfeng in this case, even did not take out the money to .........Doesn't she want to live with me anymore? Shiqin's doubts became a lingering shadow ...... his heart
Chapter 3: The dream of marriage is difficult to come true, and she suffers and dies tragicallyIn the blink of an eye, another year has passed. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month of this year, Shiqin came up with an ingenious trick. He quietly took out Zengfeng's passbook, took Zengfeng's ID card, went to the postal savings office to take out all the 6,000 yuan that Zengfeng had deposited, and then deposited it in another credit union in his own name. He thinks that as long as he withholds Zengfeng's money, he can keep Zengfeng's people. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Shiqin's doubts were verified, and Zengfeng couldn't say a word to him because he went out, so he said goodbye. The expected thing happened, although Shiqin was a little disappointed in his heart, but when he thought that the passbook had been transferred to his pocket, a sly smile flashed on his face.
On the evening of the 28th day of the lunar month, Zengfeng returned home, Shiqin was surprised and delighted, and finally a stone fell to the ground, but his heart seemed a little uneasy, Shiqin did not dare to ask more, and slept alone.
The next morning, Zengfeng came to Xiaohui's house, and saw that Xiaohui was at home alone, so the two talked for a while, and Zengfeng said to Xiaohui: "Sister Hui, the things in my suitcase are missing." Xiaohui asked what it was, and Zengfeng said, "I'm embarrassed to say it, it's a shame to say." My 6,000 yuan passbook is due in a month, and I am ready to transfer it again, but this morning I opened the box and saw that the passbook was gone, and I was very anxious. ”
Xiaohui asked her how she got the 6,000 yuan, and Zengfeng said that the 6,000 yuan was my hard-earned money, and I worked hard to earn it as a nanny in Sichuan for several years. When I came here, my parents were reluctant to let their daughter travel far away, although the family was poor, they still gave a little, a total of more than 8,000 yuan, I kept some of it, and saved 6,000 yuan after this. But now the box is locked, but the passbook is gone. ”
Zengfeng said to Xiaohui again: "You go over and ask Shiqin for me to see if he has taken it." ”
Xiaohui said: "That's your own business, I don't want to ask, so you should go back and ask yourself." ”
When Zengfeng got home, he asked Shiqin: "Have you taken the passbook in the box?" ”
Shiqin flatly denied it, Zeng Feng was so angry that he grabbed the vase on the table and threw it to the ground, Shiqin felt weak, his face was flushed, and he grabbed a broom and swept up the vase fragments.
Neighbor Xiaohui heard the quarrel between Zengfeng's family and hurried over to persuade Zengfeng not to be angry. Zeng Feng shouted: "I asked him if he took it, but he didn't say a word." Xiaohui advised Shiqin: "If you take the money, take it out, and the two of you can discuss." Shiqin felt that it was difficult to save face, but he didn't say anything.
Zeng Feng was angry: "There are actually no outsiders here, if you don't take out the passbook, I will stand on the road and tell others, so that the whole village will know and see where you put your face." Zengfeng and Shiqin quarreled, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became. Zengfeng's tears rippled, slapped Shiqin, knocked Shiqin's glasses to the ground, and shattered the lenses. At this time, Shiqin couldn't help it, and returned a mouth to Zengfeng. At this time, the neighbors persuaded them to leave, and under the persuasion of everyone, Shiqin had to take out the transferred passbook and ask someone to transfer it to Zengfeng. Shiqin felt that the passbook had made him lose face in front of his neighbors, and he was very embarrassed, similar to being a thief. Although the turmoil subsided, it also planted the root cause.
On the same day, Zengfeng and Shiqin were dragged back to their brother's house by their younger brother and sister-in-law to persuade them, and Zengfeng slept at his brother-in-law's house at night, sighing. It was snowing heavily, Shiqin was walking alone on the way home, the weather was cold, he thought, it is better to have a daughter-in-law, and the feeling of home is different.
The next morning, under the persuasion of his brother and daughter-in-law, Zengfeng returned to Shiqin's house, Zengfeng angrily called Shiqin, went to the credit union to withdraw 6,000 yuan in deposits, remitted 4,000 yuan to her father, and then asked Shiqin to go to Hai'an together, in Hai'an's largest gold store, she carefully selected a gold necklace, a pair of platinum earrings, and spent more than 1,700 yuan. Along the way, the two no longer have the sweet words they had at the beginning.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Zengfeng and Shiqin returned home, Shiqin drank alone and drank alcohol, and the two quarreled over the 6,000 yuan passbook. Shiqin said: "You live like a woman who herds pigeons, and when she sees that I have no money, she will leave." ”
The more Zengfeng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt wronged, so he scolded: "I don't want to pass it, I'm going to make your house unpeaceful." She scolded and kicked the furniture, and grabbed Shiqin's hair with her hands: "Who do you think of me?" ”
At this time, Shiqin was already a little drunk and lost his mind, like an enraged lion, grabbing Zengfeng's hair and pressing her to the ground, Zengfeng shouted for help......Shiqin, who was crazy after drinking, picked up a small wooden stool and smashed it at Zengfeng's head, once, twice, and three times, ......Shiqin's mother quickly rushed over when she heard the sound and shouted: "My family is finished, my family is finished......”
Zengfeng fell in a pool of blood and was quickly sent to the hospital by the neighbors, she was smashed by a small stool and suffered a serious head injury, Zengfeng never woke up, and the jewelry she just bought during the day became her funeral object for her life to go to Huangquan.
On August 29 of that year, Wang Shiqin was sentenced to death by the people's court for intentional homicide at the end of the first trial, with a two-year reprieve, and deprived of political rights for life.
