Author: Wang Hongliang

I have long been accustomed to being alone

The masses in Guodiwa Village said: "Liu Yinshan is shameless, a scoundrel, does not repay debts, has a sloppy style, and has no words. Whether you should say it or not, say it directly, without any consideration for other people's thoughts and feelings. This is the direct reason why his wife ran away and has not had a wife for a long time. Of course, there are some other indirect reasons, such as: Liu Yinshan is out of tune, does not talk about making a living, does not know how to feel distressed, and starts beating when he disagrees, and several wives are beaten away by him! In my opinion, there will be no major changes in his life, and that's it! ”

Now Liu Yinshan thinks thoroughly, understands clearly, has no scruples, gets by, eats enough for one person, and the whole family is not hungry.

Liu Yinshan often said contentedly: "I have long been accustomed to being alone, less people care and less people ask!" Now what do I think! What else do I want? I don't want to think about anything, I don't care about anything, I have what I should have, I don't have anything I should have, that's all! In my life, I am less than the above, more than the bottom, enough! ”

He overestimated his own value, level and status, and deliberately held himself too high.

The people in the village listened to Liu Yinshan's words, and the male compatriots "poofed", spitting sticky phlegm, and their expressions were very complicated. With such expressions and movements, the masses expressed their inner dissatisfaction and disdain.

Usually, Liu Yinshan likes to ask some male adults in the village to go to the restaurants in the town to eat and drink. He is different from others, who is the one who asks someone to pay, and he who asks someone to pay. When he was about to check out, Liu Yinshan's buttocks were like being smeared with glue, sticking to the stool, and he just couldn't stand up! Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is deliberately avoiding the checkout.

Truth be told, this guy is.

Hu Laizi said at the village rice market: "I swear, if I eat and drink with Liu Yinshan again in the future, I will be a grandson!" Of course, playing mahjong together still has to be played, when this guy loses money, he doesn't drag the money and does not drag the mud and water, and he can dig it neatly! This is obvious to all! ”

Most of the people nodded yes, agreeing with Hu Lai's statement.

Liu Ermin raised his hand first, then spoke, and said loudly: "Count me in."

Qian Xuexue raised his hand and then raised his voice and said, "I agree." ”

Fat Dun raised his hand and coaxed: "And me, count me in."

The stable said, "There is me."

…………

For a time, Hu Lai's oath was echoed, and many people responded. It can be seen that Liu Yinshan's prestige among the people in the village is very low, and it has almost dropped to the freezing point.

At that time, the female villagers, holding rice bowls and eating rice, only laughed but did not speak.

The whole scene was exciting and lively.

The Reason Why I Don't Have a Wife (Short Story)

His father and mother died, and not a single tear was shed

Liu Yinshan is different from other people in the village, he has limited ability, a withdrawn personality, a strange personality, and is not likely to live in peace with others.

Not to mention anything else, even his biological parents, he has an extremely difficult time getting along.

Therefore, the people in the village believe that he is a typical unfilial son.

That year, Liu Yinshan was twenty years old, and because of trivial matters in life, he had a quarrel with his father and mother, separated from his family, and lived alone.

Liu Yinshan's father and mother were angry with him, expelled him from the house, and lived in a cave at the bottom of the mountain. Liu Yinshan eats alone, lives alone, and lives alone.

From then on, he didn't care about his father's or mother's living conditions, and he talked about his parents' mistakes in the village, causing the villagers to despise and ridicule. Of course, Liu Yinshan's father and mother don't care whether he lives or dies.

One year, Liu Yinshan's father and mother went to bed at night and forgot to close the lid of the coal stove, and the old couple both died of coal poisoning.

He hastily buried his parents, without a shroud or a coffin, and buried them in the ancestral grave with a bunk.

In addition, the villagers all found that from the death of Liu Yinshan's father and mother to the burial of peace, he did not shed a single tear. Many women in the village said: "Liu Yinshan is really hard-hearted, his father and mother died, and he didn't shed tears, this person is not a human being, he is simply hard-hearted, not as good as a brute!"

The old men in the village shook their heads and said, "He is not good for his father and mother, who is the other one?" It can be seen that no one hits. This guy is selfish and selfish! It can be said that he is the scum of the anger of the individual gods. ”

Since then, he has been in the impression of the villagers that his character is very bad.

After Liu Yinshan's parents died, he was persuaded by relatives and friends to move out of the cave at the foot of the mountain and live in an old-fashioned house left by his parents, still living alone.

The Reason Why I Don't Have a Wife (Short Story)

It's hard to get along with

People always have to live, and they need money to live, and without money, they can't live normally.

When Liu Yinshan was thirty years old, he was still alone and lived alone.

Zhang Dayou, a neighbor who is the director of a small local coal mine, saw that Liu Yinshan was really pitiful, so he arranged for him to watch the gate in the coal yard of his small coal mine. Lai Zhi said that Liu Yinshan can be regarded as having a job and can earn money to support himself. During that time, Liu Yinshan was in a small village, preaching Zhang Dayou's benefits everywhere.

Liu Yinshan has no other ability, in the coal yard of a small coal mine, the work of watching the gate is still good, and it has been well received.

When Liu Yinshan was thirty-five years old, he didn't have a wife and still lived alone.

Zhang Dayou was moved with compassion again.

He decided to introduce his past concubine, Xiaoyu, to Liu Yinshan and be his daughter-in-law. In fact, Zhang Dayou did this completely with other plans, he thought: every month when his wife comes to "menstruation", he can solve the "urgent need" while Liu Yinshan is working in the coal mine.

When Zhang Da had a mature idea, he took advantage of Liu Yinshan's time to go to work and called him to the office and explained his intention and idea of introducing Xiaoyu to Liu Yinshan as his wife.

After Liu Yinshan learned about this, he was so grateful that tears were about to flow. With tears in his eyes, he said emotionally: "Uncle Dayou, you treat me so well, closer than my biological parents!"

In this way, Xiaoyu married Liu Yinshan. He and she also went to the county civil affairs bureau to get a marriage certificate, and the two became legal husband and wife.

At that time, Xiaoyu was not very old, only thirty years old. Liu Yinshan is thirty-five years old. Zhang Dayou is 50 years old.

In this way, Xiao Yuming is Liu Yinshan's wife, and Zhang Dayou's wife is secret.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu followed Liu Yinshan and Zhang Dayou to have a son.

Xiaoyu said: "This child is Liu Yinshan's!"

At that time, who was this child, and how many genes did Zhang Dayou have? How many genes does Liu Yinshan have? How many genes do other men have? No DNA has been verified in detail, so no one knows about it, and no one wants to bother with this.

Xiaoyu said that this child belonged to Liu Yinshan, and everyone thought that this child was Liu Yinshan's, and Liu Yinshan had the right to raise this son as his own child.

However, to be honest, Liu Yinshan is still very good to this child.

Later, the affair between Zhang Dayou and Xiaoyu was revealed, and Liu Yinshan was angry and took advantage of the strength of the wine to beat her away.

Liu Yinshan's son was forcibly left behind by him and raised by himself.

Liu Yinshan said angrily: "I don't know, who would have thought that Zhang Dayou had other plans, let me be the eighth king, be a turtle with a shrunken head, I am a single person in my life, and I resolutely don't want a 'broken shoe' woman like Xiaoyu!"

In this way, Liu Yinshan became a "lonely person" again, and he looked very tough.

Because of these, Zhang Dayou was depressed for a long time. Usually, Liu Yinshan took the initiative to speak to him, and he also ignored him.

Later, Liu Yinshan successively found several second-married women, either widows or divorced women, and adopted the method of trial marriage to live together, all because of Liu Yinshan's character defects and other reasons, it was difficult to get along, and they were all beaten away or driven away by him.

Now, Liu Yinshan lives with his children and two people.

The Reason Why I Don't Have a Wife (Short Story)

Gambling debts are not repaid

Zhang Dayou's cousin, Lao Zhang Tou, is in his seventies, has no wife all his life, no children and no daughters, he is very lonely, and his life is difficult.

At that time, Lao Zhangtou's body was okay, he was able to be self-reliant and not drag others down.

On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar one year, Zhang Dayou poor old Zhang Tou was helpless and had a very difficult life. Zhang Dayou deliberately used the evening time to arrange a table of banquets at home to entertain the old Zhang Tou and spend the annual traditional festival together. Don't look at Lao Zhangtou in his seventies, there is no problem with smoking and drinking. He smoked a pack of cigarettes and drank half a catty of liquor every day, and for more than ten years, he couldn't move. In order to entertain the old Zhang Tou well, Zhang Dayou specially went to the county seat to buy food, good cigarettes, and high-grade Fenjiu, and then, Zhang Dayou personally cooked a large table of good dishes. A large family accompanied Lao Zhangtou to eat vegetables, drink, enjoy the bright moon, and play family cooking.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Lao Zhangtou smiled and said: "Dayou, I know that I am old, but when people are old, they have to find a job to do, if they don't work, how can they earn money, if they don't make money, how can they support themselves!" Especially for a lonely old man like me, I have to earn money, otherwise, what will I do in the future! ”

Zhang Dayou knew what Lao Zhang Tou meant by what he said, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. He scratched his head first, and then said seriously: "Uncle, I know your situation. You're old, you're in your seventies, and it's not a good fit to work in my mine. I think so, you are in the entire chess and card room in our village, every day each mahjong table to draw some money, more or less earn, I feel that there is no problem in taking care of your life. What do you think? ”

When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he immediately came to his senses. He said with a flutter of eyebrows: "Yes, Zhong, you are right, just do what you say." Tomorrow morning, I will choose a site and set up a chess and card room in our village, so that everyone can play conveniently, and I will also earn some money. However, where did I get this mahjong table, and now I don't have any money on hand! ”

Zhang Dayou said: "The mahjong table is easy to say, don't worry, I will come forward and borrow four from a friend, you use it first, the money is easy to say, when you have money, when will you return it to others, do you fancy it?"

Lao Zhangtou said vigorously: "That, that, thank you nephew, thank you nephew." In the future, when I have money in hand, I will definitely invite you to drink, your uncle and I will do what I say. ”

…………

As a result, the chess and card room of Lao Zhangtou, after a period of intensive preparation, was officially opened for business.

Next, Liu Yinshan was Lao Zhangtou's first customer and his loyal customer. As long as Liu Yinshan is free, he will go to Lao Zhangtou's chess and card room to play mahjong.

Sometimes, Liu Yinshan lost money playing cards and couldn't stand it, so he borrowed money from Lao Zhangtou, who would lend Liu Yinshan some money more or less in order to take care of his business.

In this way, after three months, Liu Yinshan borrowed 1,200 yuan from Lao Zhangtou.

In this case, Liu Yinshan didn't go to Lao Zhangtou to play cards, and he also said some ugly things to Lai and didn't give him money. Is Liu Yinshan not authentic?

Old Zhang Tou had no choice but to go to the small coal mine to find Zhang Dayou to explain the situation.

Zhang Dayou said: "Uncle, if Liu Yinshan is thorough, he speaks and does things very well, usually, he does a good job in all aspects, and he can do without a wife for so many years!" When Zhang Dayou said this, he felt that he had lost his words, it turned out that Lao Zhang had no wife in his life.

Old Zhang Tou was old, and he didn't hear what Zhang Dayou meant, just smiled.

Zhang Dayou deliberately paused for a moment, went straight to the point, and then said: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll help you with this, I'll give you this money, and not a penny will be less."

Lao Zhangtou said: "If it really doesn't work, I will wait for Liu Yinshan on the highway in our village and forcibly leave his motorcycle to pay off the debt." Other creditors can't do it, but I can do it. ”

Zhang Dayou said: "Uncle, can his broken motorcycle be worth 1,200 yuan?"

Lao Zhangtou said: "That's not worth it, not even five hundred yuan."

Zhang Dayou continued: "With me, you don't care."

Old Zhang Tou wanted to say something, but at this time, the phone in Zhang Dayou's office rang. Old Zhang Tou got up, waved goodbye, and walked out of Zhang Dayou's office.

That month, when the small coal mine paid wages, Liu Yinshan found that his salary was less than 500 yuan, so he asked the person in charge of the coal yard: "Why is my salary less than 500 yuan?" What's going on? ”

The person in charge looked at Liu Yinshan and said tepidly: "Regarding this situation, you go to Zhang Dayou, the mine manager, he knows the inside story, and the right to explain belongs to him, not me."

Subsequently, Liu Yinshan did not hesitate, and immediately asked Zhang Dayou for the reason, Zhang Dayou glared and said: "In the past, you played mahjong at my uncle's place, and you owed him a total of 1,200 yuan, no matter how he wanted to go back, you still said some ugly things!" Now I will deduct it from your salary, considering that you have to live, you can't deduct it in a month, only deduct 500 yuan from you every month, and return it to my uncle, as long as the deduction is enough for this 1,200 yuan, the salary will be paid normally! ”

Liu Yinshan muttered and whispered: "Uncle, why don't you say anything in advance about the deduction of money, why don't you cut it first and then play it, which catches people off guard."

Zhang Dayou continued to stare and said, "What are you saying, what are you going to say in advance?" Go, go, go and get busy! ”

Liu Yinshan walked out of Zhang Dayou's office, and as soon as he turned around, tears flowed down.

The work was completed on May 14, 2024
