Zhang Mei was also a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to say anything, otherwise she might get another beating today.
Zhang Mei's mother has already sat down, "Xiaoyu, what do you want from our Meimei? Do you want to help her make money?"
Lin Xiaoyu coughed lightly, "I just want to ask if Xiaomei is getting married?"
Zhang Mei's mother's face darkened, "Who are you listening to?"
The reason why Lin Xiaoyu wanted to find Zhang Mei was not only because he was a good friend, but also because he heard the news from the village.
Her playmate may be getting married, but not to a good man, but to whoever gives him the most money.
"Auntie knows whether she is talking nonsense or not."
"We don't need you to tell us what's going on in our family here. If you're fine, leave quickly!"
Lin Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Auntie, you may have heard that I am now a popular person in the police station, and they even gave me a special banner. This is not the past, but a society ruled by law. Marriage also requires you to pay attention to your emotions. I wish."
"Fart! I am Zhang Mei's mother, so what if I have the final say? Don't scare people here!"
"Then try it. If you really dare to marry Zhang Mei to that lame man from another village for money, I promise to find the police to arrest them, not only them, but also you. Against your will, that is buying and selling women!"
"Fart!" Zhang Mei's mother was so angry that she wanted to push Lin Xiaoyu away, but she really didn't dare to do anything. "I am her mother, why do I trade women!"
"Biological parents who buy and sell people will also be sentenced. If you don't believe me, you can go to the police station in the town and ask some other time. If I lie to you, it won't be too late for you to trouble me again."
Zhang Mei finally realized why Lin Xiaoyu came today. He was here to support her!
Her eyes suddenly turned red, she didn't want to marry that cripple!
Zhang Mei's mother was so angry that she looked at Zhang Mei and said, "Tell me, do you do this voluntarily?"
"I……"
Lin Xiaoyu squeezed her hand and reassured her, "The Lin Xiaoyu I am now is not the Lin Xiaoyu I used to be. Xiaomei, you can say whatever you want, I can protect you!"
Zhang Mei took a deep breath and finally said what was in her heart, "Mom, I don't want to get married. You can't let me marry a cripple just because they gave me a lot of gifts. What will I do in the future?"
Zhang Mei's mother was wheezing angrily, like an old bellows. She picked up the broom next to her and said, "I gave birth to you, gave you a life, fed you, clothed you, and raised you so big, how dare you? No!"
"I tell you, you are born to owe me, and you have to repay your debt!"
Lin Xiaoyu kept saying in front of Zhang Mei, "If you dare to hit me today, I will blackmail you to death! Believe it or not!"
If you want to deal with this kind of person, you have to be more rogue than her!
Zhang Mei's mother really didn't dare to fight, "Lin Xiaoyu, you are a scoundrel who has been stabbed a thousand times. If anyone wants you to meddle in other people's business, get out of my house!"
"Let me tell you, Zhang Mei never owes you anything. You are her parents, but real parents not only have to raise their children, but also treat them well. Otherwise, people like you will just have children with the intention of raising them." Selling bride price."
"You are not even worthy of the word mother! I will leave it at that for today. If Zhang Mei wants to marry, she must marry the person she likes. Definitely not the cripple you found for the bride price!"
"I will find someone to keep an eye on every day, and I will also let the village chief keep an eye on me. This is a new era, and women hold up half the sky. If you really dare to forcefully marry me, I guarantee that the police station will catch you and set a good example! I will parade you through the streets in the future. !”
Zhang Mei's mother saw that using force was useless, and she was really afraid of Lin Xiaoyu.
Not only was Lin Xiaoyu rich, his whole family had moved to the town, but he also knew people from the army and police station.
The common people of this era are very afraid of officials. They are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
She simply sat down on the ground and cried loudly, "Oh my mother, I can't live! The girl is disobedient, and even outsiders dare to come in and bully me!"
Her voice was loud and rhythmic, more like singing than crying.
After a while, many people gathered around.
"Old Zhang family, what's going on? Why are you still crying?"
"My family is unfortunate! The daughter I gave birth to doesn't listen to me, so forget it. Lin Xiaoyu, an outsider, comes to bully me. I don't want to live anymore, so let me die!"
Lin Xiaoyu explained, "The aunts must have heard that Zhang Meiniang wanted to marry Zhang Mei to a lame man for a little gift money."
"This thing is true, so I'm here. What I want to say is that forced marriage is illegal. I just want to prevent her from committing a crime. If someone goes to jail in the village, what will happen to others then? Are you talking about our village?"
"Maybe it will also affect other people in our village. By then, maybe none of the girls here will be married, and the boys won't be able to find wives. This is a reputation issue!"
"And Zhang Meiniang, I really should tell you that you want your daughter to marry a cripple just for money. Aren't you pushing people into a pit of fire?"
There were whispers all around. They didn't like Zhang Mei's mother's behavior in the first place. Some people wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Lin Xiaoyu and began to accuse her.
"That's right, I think you are still your biological mother. If you don't know better, I would think you are your stepmother!"
"There's no reason to give your daughter to a cripple. I can't do it anyway. Old Zhang, I'm not telling you, you'd better forget it. Aren't you doing harm to your daughter?"
"That's right, what you did is really too much. Now the police station is very strict when arresting people. Don't think that they won't arrest you just because you are a mother. Aren't the people who sell girls in this town also arrested as human traffickers? ?”
"Shut up, all of you! You just see that Lin Xiaoyu is capable, and you are trying to fawn over her here. My daughter was born to me, so I can do whatever I like!"
"Enough!" came an angry shout, and the village chief finally arrived belatedly, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
"Old Zhang family, let me tell you, there are no forced marriages in our village! Did you hear that? We all watched Xiaomei grow up together. If you really want money, sell her to a cripple as your wife."
"Then you have lost your conscience. I, the village chief, will never agree! Let me tell you, from today on, if you dare to send people away, I will make my own decision and ask the police station to arrest you!"
Zhang Mei's mother suddenly stopped moving. The village chief still has great power, "Village Chief, you are not fair! My daughter, I can do whatever I want!"
"Shut up!" The village chief banged his cane angrily, "How dare you!"
"Okay, I don't dare!" Zhang Mei's mother stood up. She also knew that she would not be able to get a favor today. She stared at Lin Xiaoyu bitterly, "Don't you want my daughter to marry a cripple? Okay!"
