Chapter 74 The past is like a cloud of smoke

Yang Qiuchi stood up and asked, "Zhihui, is this grave really the little maid who committed suicide by jumping into a well for her pregnancy? Her name is Ruolan, right?"

Qin Zhihui nodded. When she saw that Yang Qiuchi's wound was fine and she was in good spirits, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Yang Qiuchi didn't ask her why she wanted to kill him, the reason was obvious. He picked up the knife from the ground, walked silently to the grave, and began to cut the grass on the grave. Qin Zhihui stood by and watched without saying a word.

During the wedding chamber, Yang Qiuchi's god yelled that he could do all kinds of farm work. In fact, he had never done farm work before. Cutting thatch is a technical job. If he couldn't cut it, the thatch would easily cut his hands. In addition, this short blade is not as good as a sickle, and cutting thatch is not easy. Sure enough, within a while, Yang Qiuchi's hand had been cut by the thatch one by one, and Yang Qiuchi seemed to have not seen it. He hoped that this would give Qin Zhihui an impression that he was trying his best to make up for the mistakes he made.

Sure enough, Zhihui bit her lip, walked over, and snatched the short blade in Yang Qiuchi's hand: "I'll do it." Qin Zhihui was a hard-working child after all. When she was a child, she did a lot of farm work. Cutting thatch was a piece of cake for her. Later, she became the maid of the young lady of the He family. She basically did not do rough work, and her hands became delicate and tender. However, she did not forget about the farm work. After a while, all the thatch on the grave was cut off, and even the sides of the grave were cut clean.

Yang Qiuchi re-placed the offerings in front of the grave, poured a glass of wine, held them in both hands, and knelt on one knee: "Miss Ruolan, I can't remember anything about the past, I don't know the reason. Since Zhihui has been here to kill me without hesitation, I believe that I must have hurt you very much, and I'll apologize to you here." After that, he slowly sprinkled the glass of wine in front of the grave.

Qin Zhihui squatted down and pulled Yang Qiuchi to sit in front of the grave: "Husband, I will tell you the whole story of this."

The mountain wind blew over Qin Zhihui's beautiful hair, fluttering slightly: "When I was a child, my family was very poor. In order to survive, I was sold to Mr. He in Hejia Village as a maid by my parents at the age of ten. Hejia Village is not far from your Yangjia Village. Sister Ruolan entered the He family at that time. We two little maids were helpless and depended on each other. Sister Ruolan was two years older than me and took care of me everywhere."

"Once, I accidentally broke a vase. In the cold winter, the young lady of He family asked me to kneel in the snow on the courtyard, saying that I would freeze me to death, and she also stuck out her head from the window to scold me. I kept kneeling in the courtyard. It was so heavy that it was snowing heavily. At night, I couldn't stand it anymore and fainted... When I woke up, it was almost dawn. I was lying in the warm quilt. I was very surprised, so I got up and ran to the yard to see that Sister Ruolan was wearing my clothes and kneeling in the snow, her whole body was trembling... It turned out that she had been frozen for me all night."

"I ran over and hugged her and cried. She was so cold that she couldn't even speak. I took her back to the room, and then came out and knelt down. It was dawn. The young grandma was surprised to see that I was not dead. She spared me. That's how I survived this disaster."

Yang Qiuchi scolded fiercely: "The He family is so vicious!"

Qin Zhihui smiled bitterly, "Sister Ruolan's toes were frozen, she was seriously ill and almost died."

"Later one day, the young lady asked Sister Ruolan and I to go out for business. It was already very late when we came back. When we passed by the entrance of your Yangjia Village, you rushed out of the darkness, smelled alcohol, grabbed me and dragged it into the wheat field next to you, wanting... I was frightened and tried to fight desperately. Sister Ruolan had already run away, but when she heard my scream, she came back and smashed you with a lump of soil. You rushed towards her and pressed her on the ridge of the field... At that time, I was still young, frightened, so I ran away and hid."

Qin Zhihui's tears fell one by one, and Yang Qiuchi hugged her with heartache, hoping to give her more comfort.

Qin Zhihui leaned against Yang Qiuchi and slowly continued: "It took a long time to see Sister Ruolan limping over. I ran out to support her. The first thing she said was to ask me if I was injured. I..." Qin Zhihui couldn't continue and started crying softly.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, why did Yang Fuzuo, who replaced him, raped a woman? He was such a scum. How could I meet people? Fortunately, no one else knew about this.

"Later, I found that Sister Ruolan often sneaked out of the He family compound and came back for a long time. Every time she came back, she looked wrong and her face turned red. I asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say it. Once I followed her secretly, and then I realized that she slipped out to meet you."

Ah? Yang Qiuchi was shocked. It turned out that Ruolan had sex with Yang Fu after being raped.

"When she came back, I asked her why, and she said you promised to redeem her for her. Later, you were caught stealing things from the He family and beat you up, tied you up in the woodshed, and waited for your family to redeem you with money."

Yang Qiuchi sighed secretly, why am I so unlucky?

"Sister Ruolan secretly ran to put you in. The bloody handkerchief was used by Sister Ruolan to wipe you blood at that time. You were holding the bloody handkerchief and swearing to marry her."

Yang Qiuchi understood why after Qin Zhihui drank poisonous wine on the wedding night, she would show her handkerchief before she was about to die, so that she would understand it. Unexpectedly, the offense was dead, and she met herself who had no idea what she knew about her.

Qin Zhihui continued, "You escaped from the He family and hid. Later, your mother and others paid you money, and this matter was settled."

"One day Sister Ruolan came back from outside, her face and body were blue and purple. I asked her what was wrong. After begging her for a long time, she told me that she was pregnant with your child and went to find you, but you said you had no money to redeem her and asked her to find a doctor to take medicine to abort the child. Sister Ruolan didn't want to, so you beat her."

Yang Qiuchi slapped his head: "Why am I so stupid!" But he said in his heart that I have been in trouble for eight lifetimes to replace Yang Fu.

"Later, the old man of Yin's family visited the He family and fell in love with Sister Ruolan, saying that he would take her as a concubine and set a date for the wedding. Sister Ruolan tried her best to marry, and secretly brought a package to find you and wanted to elope with you. She came back crying very late that day, saying that you were unwilling to elope with her. When the He family discovered your affairs, they put her under house arrest in a small yard and waited for the Yin family to come to welcome her."

Yang Qiuchi was shocked again: "Yin family? Is it the Yinde family in Guangde County?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Zhihui asked.

Yang Qiuchi always felt that something seemed wrong here, but he didn't know what was wrong, "Nothing, you continue."

"That night, she told me that since she had married you, she should end up together. She would never marry someone else. But if you don't want to elope with her, she can't live anymore. She hates you to ruin her and ask me to find an opportunity to avenge her and kill you, so she can be married to you when she goes to the underworld."

Ruolan is so cruel, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself.

Qin Zhihui looked at the grave: "I don't want to kill anyone, but why do I refuse? Sister Ruolan saved my life twice. My life was hers, and it was also worth dying for her. So I... I agreed... I wanted to persuade her the next day and help her escape secretly. Unexpectedly, late that night, she died of digging a well in the well in the small yard..."
