In 1977, Liu Qi, a 32-year-old female intellectual, gave up returning to the city and married a farmer. On the wedding night, she said that she chose to put down roots in the countryside because of his choice. Who knows, 18 years later, she ruthlessly left her two children to drink a bottle of pesticides.
On January 29, 1995, every household in Hongliu Yudan Village, Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia was frying spring rolls to welcome the New Year.
Liu Qi's family is no exception. But Liu Sanhai didn't come back until more than 10 o'clock, and told him to go home early for the festival in the morning.
Liu Qi had to hurriedly clean up the dinner table and take the two children to sleep. Liu Qi, who was asleep, suddenly felt a cold body, was dragged out of the quilt, and was punched and kicked by her husband Liu Sanhai on her head and face, no matter how much she begged, it was useless.
In 1965, 19-year-old Liu Qi, who had just graduated from high school, came to Hongliu Yudan Village, Wuyuan County. The hard work, the lack of food and the unsuitable weather made her tears wet her pillow many times.
With a height of 1.4 meters and thin yellow muscles, she could have stayed in the city and became an elite woman, but she chose to be willful and went to the countryside to experience rural life.
The repetition day after day made her physically and mentally exhausted, but she still chose to grit her teeth and persevere.
Although he is not tall, Liu Qi from the city knows some basic talents, and he quickly shows them.
The educated youth and fellow villagers quickly fell in love with this versatile girl.
As time passed, Liu Qi slowly adapted to the place. I don't feel like life is so hard anymore.
Soon, Liu Qi became the object of enthusiastic pursuit by the young men in the village. Among them, there is one person who is the most attentive to her - he is Liu Sanhai.
Liu Sanhai is tall and handsome, and takes good care of Liu Qi. But at that time, Liu Qi was still determined to return to the city, and she did not accept Liu Sanhai's affection.
In 1976, educated youths began to return to the city one after another, and Liu Qi also wrote several applications, but they were not approved. At this time, news came from her hometown that she could not go back now.
Disappointed, she began to respond to rural life and Liu Sanhai's pursuit.
After the relationship was confirmed, Liu Sanhai launched a more fierce offensive against Liu Qi. When she had menstrual cramps, she boiled brown sugar eggs, and when it rained, she walked to her left to hold an umbrella for her, and the bits and pieces of life were injected into Liu Qi's heart. She decided to marry Liu Sanhai.
However, how much love there is before marriage, and how bloody it is in the days after marriage.
In the first few years, it seemed sweet. On the wedding night, Liu Qi confided in his heart: "Because of you, I chose to take root in the countryside." ”
After getting married, Liu Qi soon became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. But Liu Sanhai's mother was very unhappy, their family was patriarchal, and her mother-in-law hoped to have a handle.
As soon as Liu Qi's first child was confined, he was instigated to get pregnant again, but she gave birth to a daughter. This time it also caused heavy bleeding and it was impossible to conceive again.
Originally, after marrying Liu Qi, a girl from the city, Liu Sanhai's family was quite happy. But since then, his family's attitude has changed dramatically.
At first, the family verbally humiliated Liu Qi and complained that she couldn't give birth to a male baby. Liu Sanhai even plans to take back a child and pamper him as his own son. Later, his mother-in-law firmly disagreed, so he gave up.
Slowly, Liu Sanhai began to be lazy and unenterprising, revealing his original vulgar nature.
This plunged the family's economy into poverty for a while. Later, the village chief couldn't stand it and helped him find a relatively easy job to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Later, the family contracted 18 acres of land, but Liu Sanhai was unwilling to work steadily, and he either drank and wandered around or bragged all day long, and the burden of life fell on Liu Qi's shoulders all at once.
Not only that, Liu Sanhai is often rude to his two daughters. Liu Qi tried to protect the calf, but in exchange for a more violent beating. This went on for a long time.
Domestic violence, usually has the first time, there are countless times.
In 1988, Liu Qi became a Chinese teacher at Farm Primary School, and was loved by the students for his excellent teaching ability, and was praised by the principal and became a full-time employee of the school.
However, this made Liu Sanhai jealous, he was incompetent, and he did not accept that his wife was so good.
Liu Sanhai began to completely rot. In addition to alcoholism, he also contracted the bad Xi of gambling, and even used Liu Qi's salary to pay off his debts.
For all this, Liu Qi has long felt numb, and can only bear it silently, just hoping to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
At this time, the obedient and sensible eldest daughter was admitted to a health school in the city, which gave Liu Qi a glimmer of hope in his life. However, the second daughter, instigated by her father and mother-in-law, spread rumors about Liu Qi's cheating in the village.
This made Liu Qi very sad, but she still chose to remain silent.
In the early morning of January 30, 1995, Liu Qi, who was sleeping, was beaten by her husband again.
All the grievances exploded at this moment, and she resolutely swallowed a bottle of bardry grass.
The next day, when Liu Sanhai woke up, he smelled a pungent smell of pesticides in the room, and just wanted to get angry, but saw Liu Qi, who was foaming at the mouth, lying there softly.
I don't know if in the end, she felt a trace of regret, or a trace of relief.
Liu Qi's tragic life confirms the old saying: "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time."
