As soon as Shichu opened his eyes, he heard a scolding female voice shouting in his ear: "Why aren't you so ignorant? Your brother is almost twenty years old now and has not yet married a wife. It's hard to find someone who can understand him now." The girl who fell in love with him just wants you to exchange marriage with her family. You don't agree with this. Do you want to make your brother a bachelor for the rest of his life..."
The wrinkled woman in front of him, who looked to be in her forties or fifty, stared at Shi Chu fiercely, as if she would eat her if she continued to disagree.
"I don't care whether you agree or not, anyway, you are going to marry that boy from the Liang family!" Seeing Liu Shichu's silence, Liu's mother thought she was protesting with her silence, so she made a decisive decision, regardless of her daughter's wishes.
After the woman cursed, she went out. Liu Shichu observed the room where she was lying for a while. As expected, it was a small, dark and narrow room. The "bed" under her was made of several wooden boxes, and it could barely accommodate the original owner. She is a thin woman, and the original owner is still wearing a thin and shabby quilt. The original color can no longer be seen, and the patches on it almost cover the quilt.
Liu Shichu was not surprised. Can a family that can use its daughter to marry its son not be poor?
The original owner is fifteen years old this year and is the youngest daughter of Liu Laoliu's family in Liujia Village. She has an older brother and an older sister. The older sister got married a few years ago, but the older brother has been unable to marry a wife because of poverty at home.
After a few years, he finally found a girl who liked him, but the only requirement for the marriage was for the original owner to marry her brother who was too stupid to take care of himself, which was commonly known as marriage exchange.
The parents of the original owner immediately agreed. After all, the eldest son was almost twenty years old and was still unmarried, which really made the family very embarrassed. And a man of the same age as him in the village was already the father of the child. Therefore, not only the parents of the original owner Anxious for him to marry a wife, Liu Shiyong also wanted to do so.
As for the girl, the original owner, no one would care about her own wishes. After all, Datou is a loser, and it is already good to be able to get a wife for her brother.
After the original owner learned the news, she was greatly shocked and plucked up the courage to resist her parents. But how could she resist her three parental brothers who suppressed her? He was beaten unconscious by Liu Shiyong, and the one who woke up was Shichu with a different soul.
The original owner's father, Liu Laoliu, rolled down a slope and broke his body when he was doing labor to build a river channel when he was young. One of his legs was broken and he walked with a limp. His internal organs must have also been injured. He often coughed, and later his waist gradually became unbearable. He became a hunchback, and his whole body ached every time it was rainy. He couldn't do heavy labor at all. From time to time, he had to spend money on medicine to treat his illness, so the family became so poor.
Liu Shiyong came in from the outside at this time, kicked the broken door of Liu Shichu's room, making a rattling sound, and said to his sister on the bed with a warning face: "You'd better be sensible and marry your sister-in-law's eldest brother, otherwise I'll forgive you." I can’t help you! Don’t even think about running away or resisting, even if I break your legs, I will drag you to your sister-in-law’s house!”
Liu Shichu pretended to be trembling, and whispered in panic and fear: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, I am willing to marry..."
"Hmph! You know what's going on, otherwise my fists are not good for me!" Liu Shiyong shook his fist and threatened.
Seeing that Liu Shichu finally accepted his fate, he warned him and left impatiently.
Liu Shichu sneered in his heart, changing wives and marrying a fool? Don’t even think about it!
The original owner had obediently accepted his fate and married his sister-in-law's stupid brother. He was bullied, beaten and insulted by her family. He was tortured to death just a year after the marriage.
Probably because they were afraid of long nights and many dreams, the Liu family and the Chen family - that is, the sister-in-law's family quickly decided on the wedding date. The two pairs of brothers and sisters would get married on the same day, and a bride would come from each side, which happened to be able to provide incense to the family. Wouldn’t it be best to marry a daughter-in-law and get the best of both worlds?
So Liu Shichu's wedding was just two days later. Probably because she would soon change her brother's marriage and marry a fool, Liu's mother didn't ask her to go to work in the past two days. This finally gave Liu Shichu Leisure time.
She quickly took the pills she had collected before, repairing her emaciated body, and then raced against time to cultivate her internal strength. Internal strength can be cultivated in this world, so she naturally had to equip herself with self-protection and resistance as soon as possible. Ability, so she took the time to practice without sleep or food.
Soon the day of the "marriage" came. Because the family was poor, Liu Laoliu and Liu's mother could not afford to invite guests, so they just asked Liu Shiyong to change into a suit of clothes with the least patches and went to the Chen family to get married. By the way, Liu Shichu, who was about to marry, was The "bride" of the fool in the Chen family is sent to the Chen family.
Of course, in order to prevent Liu Shichu from escaping halfway, Liu's mother went with him.
The Chen family's family background is similar to that of the Liu family. Otherwise, they would not have to use marriage exchange to marry their stupid son. Therefore, all the rules and etiquette of getting married have been deleted. Anyway, as long as two "new couples" successfully come to the church to get married. Just do it.
"When you get to the Chen family, serve your parents-in-law well and don't think about running away! Although the son of the Chen family is a little stupid, he doesn't hit anyone. As long as you give birth to your son well and raise him up, you will have a place in the future... Don't say Parents are cruel, this is your life, who made you the girl of our Liu family..." Mother Liu kept talking to Liu Shichu, brainwashing her desperately, hoping that she would accept her fate and marry a fool from the Chen family. Don't bring up any trouble and bring trouble to your parents' family.
Liu Shichu lowered his head and remained silent, turning a deaf ear to Liu's mother's words. It was impossible to accept fate.
The Chen family is in the next village. After walking for more than an hour, we finally arrived. The Chen family is also a poor family. Even though today is the day when their children are getting married, there is still no joy. Only a few relatives are talking and waiting in the main room. When they see someone from the Liu family coming , and immediately came out one after another.
"Is this woman too thin? Her arms are as thin as dead branches. Can she pass on the family line to our nephew?"
"Are you thirteen years old? You look like a child! Forget it, you're still young, and you can have children if you raise her."
…
Liu Shichu was looked at by several pairs of eyes like searchlights, and she became more and more irritable. She wished she could kick these people who treated her like a commodity.
Liu's mother and Liu Shiyong locked Liu Shichu in a room and went to discuss the marriage with the Chen family.
After Liu Shichu was imprisoned, he looked around the room and found that there was another person lying on the bed in the room. The person was grinning at her and drooling. Even if he was as bold as her, he saw it all at once. This weird situation made my hair stand on end for a moment.
