Chapter 537

Chang Wen said with indifference: "Madame, although I slept in the wardrobe last night, I had a good sleep. If I really slept in bed, I'm afraid I'll have trouble sleeping."

The landlady turned her lips and said, "handsome man, you were very drunk last night. If other diners were, I would have thrown them into the street. I made an exception for you and let you sleep in my bed."

"Landlady, thank you very much, but you let me sleep on your bed. If your husband saw it, wouldn't it make trouble for me?"

"Ha ha... My husband works as a carpenter outside. He comes back once a month. He just left two days ago. These days, I am alone in the empty room."

The boatman's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Chang Wen asked: "uncle, I didn't drink well last night and didn't accompany you to the end. I'm really sorry. I will come to see you when I have time. Let's get drunk again."

The boatman waved his hand and said, "boy, I advise you not to come again. We don't have a good law and order here. Maybe we will meet gangsters. Be careful to lose your life here.

Obviously, the boatman is threatening Chang Wen.

The boatman must think that Chang Wen was really charmed last night. He didn't know it was his trick.

"Uncle, in fact, my little life is worthless. If I lose it, I will lose it. However, I think: the gangsters are not so arrogant. They dare not kill people and steal goods in the daytime."

"Ha ha... Boy, it's different here. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If you die, dig a hole and bury them, or throw them into the Qingjiang River, no one knows or cares."

"Uncle, when you say that, I dare not come again."

The landlady turned a white eye to the boatman and said, "Lao Li Tou, we are a peaceful world here. It seems that you have become a bandit's nest. It's not so bad."

The boatman glared and threatened: "boy, remember: not everyone in our place is welcome. People like you had better not come here. You are lucky to go back safely this time."

Chang Wen said respectfully, "uncle, I'll listen to you and never come again. Landlady, give me a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns. After breakfast, I have to catch the early bus. "

The landlady twisted her waist and went into the kitchen. After a while, she brought a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns and put them in front of Chang Wen. Regretfully, she said, "handsome man, this may be the last time you eat here. Remember: there is a big sister missing you."

At this time, an old lady came trembling in from the outside.

The old lady is skinny and ragged. She looks like a beggar.

The landlady said, "aunt Qian, sit down and I'll bring you a bowl of porridge."

"Thank you, thank you."

The old lady raised her head and looked at Chang Wen and the boatman. Suddenly, his face changed and he turned and left.

The landlady came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and asked, "where's aunt Qian?"

Chang Wen replied, "the old lady just glanced at me and my uncle. Suddenly her face changed greatly. She turned around and left. She seemed very scared."

The landlady chased out of the hotel, but she could not see the old lady.

The landlady went back to the hotel and complained, "Lao Li Tou, what's your feud with aunt Qian? Why are you two a little bit incompatible? "

The old boatman said angrily, "this old lady is not a good thing. I itch when I see her hands. I want to kill her."

"Lao Li Tou, you don't care about your conscience. At the beginning, aunt Qian delivered your wife. Your wife had massive postpartum hemorrhage and died the next day after giving birth to her baby. It's not aunt Qian's fault. You see, now that medicine is developed, women go to the hospital to give birth to children. Don't they still have massive bleeding to die? Among other things, Xiaomei in our town died of postpartum hemorrhage in the county hospital. So ah, your wife postpartum hemorrhage, no wonder aunt Qian, you don't always see her like an enemy

"Well! She is my enemy. If I didn't worry that my daughter would be left alone, I would have killed her. Even if I was in prison or shot, I would have recognized her. "

"Lao Li, why don't you listen to me? Don't count your wife's death on Aunt Qian. They are also wronged. "

The boatman stood up angrily and said, "don't always help aunt Qian. Even if you say something, I can't forgive her."

With that, the boatman walked away and didn't even say hello to Chang Wen.

Chang Wen puzzled and asked: "Madame, is that lady Qian a midwife?"

"Yes, in the past, when women here gave birth to children, they were all delivered by Aunt Qian. She has been a midwife for 40 years. It is said that she has delivered thousands of children."

"Landlady, how did aunt Qian become a beggar?"

"Aunt Qian is not a beggar either. She has never been married and has no children. Her monthly pension is only more than 100 yuan, which is not enough to eat. So she often comes to the town to ask for something to eat. Every time she comes to my restaurant, I will give him a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, so that she can have a full meal. "

"Does aunt Qian often come to your hotel?"

"She comes to my restaurant two or three times a week, and sometimes I pack a few Jin of rice noodles for her to take home and eat slowly."

Chang Wen shook his head and sighed: "this woman is very poor. She has been a midwife all her life, but she doesn't have any children. When she is old, she can't even eat enough."

"I can't help it. With a pension of more than 100 yuan a month, I can't get enough."

"Yes, the pension is a little too little."

"Farmers, that's it. Those with children are better. Those without children are pitiful."

"Landlady, if you have no children like aunt Qian, you should be regarded as a family with five guarantees. Normally, you should control food and drink, at least you should not be hungry."

"Ah! Unfortunately, at the beginning, when Aunt Qian delivered the baby to the village head's wife, she accidentally blinded one eye of the village head's son. Therefore, the village head gave her a lot of advice, that is, she was not allowed to enjoy the treatment of the five guarantee household. "

"Ah, the village head is too overbearing."

"Handsome young man, you are from the city and don't know much about the countryside. In the countryside, the village head is the local emperor. If you offend the village head, you have no good life."

Chang Wen asked: "Lao Li Tou's wife died of postpartum hemorrhage. Is it the fault of aunt Qian?"

"It can't be said that women, if the uterine wall is a little thinner, they may have massive bleeding after giving birth. That's life. No wonder the midwife."

"Since no wonder the midwife, why does Lao Li Tou hate aunt Qian so much?"
