Chapter 23: Cowardly

With all her strength, Sheng Ning was picked up. In pain, her tears kept rolling in her eyes.
With her hair being pulled, Sheng Ning did not fight back, but calmly said: "Sister Zhang, if you don't let go, we don't have to go back to the village. How about going directly to the police station?"
Zhang Fang was shocked when he heard that he was going to the police station, and he didn't dare to use his hands, so he was so shocked.
The man who had been sitting in the back row of the car had already got up and squeezed to the front. Hearing Sheng Ning's words, he stopped moving calmly.
She is really a bold, calm and thoughtful girl.
A hint of wonder appeared in the man's eyes.
"Sister Zhang, if you don't let go, I can sue you. You will be detained if you are caught."
Hearing her talking about detention, Zhang Fang suddenly let go. She can't be caught, if she is caught, where will her face go?
The bumpy car finally stopped. The driver was opening the door and said impatiently: "Here, it's all here, get out of the car quickly."
Sheng Ning was the first to rush out of the car in the car, holding her little poor luggage.
He disappeared long ago when the man wanted to find her.
Get on and off the bus from the town, not far from Shengning's house, you can walk for half an hour. Today was just in time for the fair and there were a lot of people on the street. Sheng Ning was walking on a familiar and unfamiliar road, and his mind was tumbling. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air in her hometown where she hadn't returned for decades, and she could smell a scent called miss.
Passing a small bridge with a curved stream, you can see the poplar trees at the entrance of the village and the two broad threshing grounds in the east and west. Shengning's family lives in the west end of the village, very close to the threshing floor. Standing under the poplar tree, you can clearly see the open door of the home.
Standing on the threshing floor, Sheng Ning suddenly felt a little bit close to nostalgia.
Thinking of the various things in the previous life, she covered her mouth and started crying depressed, tears surging down, the whole person cried a little hysterically. Even if she was sentenced to jail in her previous life, she did not cry like this.
"Ningning, what's the matter with you?" The middle-aged woman's voice sounded from behind, and Sheng Ning turned her head in embarrassment. Stepmother Shen Luhua was standing behind her.
At this time, Shen Luhua had not gone through the pain of bereavement in her previous life. At the age of 40, her hair was combed meticulously, and when she looked at people with a smile, there was a kind of gentle and elegant that rural women did not have.
Sheng Ning knew that when her stepmother was not smiling, she was actually a very serious person. She has thin lips and a sharp cold color when she is not smiling.
"Ningning, why are you back? Why are you crying?" Shen Luhua saw her crying without speaking, suddenly feeling a little at a loss. For this stepdaughter, she is always more cautious. The stepmother is difficult to deal with, she got a personal experience from Shengning.
"Sorry..." Except for these three words, she really didn't know what to say.
"Don't stand at the door, and hurry home with me. If your father knows that you are back, he will be very happy." After Sheng Ning became a soldier, a letter had not been written to the family. Although the old man didn't say anything, it was fine. Just stand on the threshing floor and look out. Two letters came half a month ago. It was because of the marriage that the content of the reply made the old man extremely happy, but the attitude of the Xu family changed drastically, and the old man couldn't eat the food that made the old man angry.
Shen Luhua's voice was not small, and everyone in the yard heard it, and her stepsister Sheng An was the first to run out.
