No reluctance? Not forced?

Qi Shufang looked at it carefully, no, none of them, just willingly.

On the day He Jianxia and his son brought Zhong Cuifang back, they held a wedding similar to Shen Yaowu in the He Lou Brigade, Qi Shufang watched the whole process outside the crowd, wearing borrowed clothes, He Jianxia smiled silly and silly, with a beaming face, and it was obvious that he was satisfied with Zhong Cuifang. Like many farmers nowadays, they did not get a marriage certificate, and Zhong Cuifang's hukou did not fall in the local area, so they lived their own small lives.

Although the household registration is all handwritten, but to settle down and leave the household, you need to have a migration certificate in your own place in this regard, Zhong Cuifang came here alone with Qi Mazi, and did not bring anything.

When Shen Yaowu and Zhao Tiezhu got married, Qi Shufang saw the household registration migration certificate brought by Zhao Tiezhu, and He Jiandang read this certificate before settling down for Zhao Tiezhu. No, it should be a certificate of the man's settlement in the woman, the same hard paper as the marriage certificate. Now the state calls for equality between men and women and encourages men to take the initiative to settle in women's homes.

Qi Shufang thought that someone would report this case of human trafficking, human trafficking, human trafficking, intolerable!

However, she waited for half a month, Zhong Cuifang met all her relatives and friends under the introduction of her mother-in-law, and she smiled heartlessly every day, and she didn't hear that Qi Mazi was punished, but went out again.

That money, in her opinion, is the money for buying and selling people, Qi Mazi and many others have been forced to turn it into travel expenses, marriage expenses, etc.

In this way, it seems that there is no way to legally attribute it to human trafficking.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Shufang heard that Zhan Renxi's thirty-year-old cousin Zhan Renhuai is now working very diligently, collecting firewood and collecting pigweed every day to the production team to earn work points, and borrowing money everywhere, wanting to get together a hundred yuan as soon as possible, and asking Qi Mazi to bring him a woman as handsome as Zhong Cuifang back as his wife.

Qi Mazi agreed in one bite, this time he went out because he was entrusted by many people, there are too many singles in the countryside who can't marry a daughter-in-law, and the ratio of men and women is strictly out of balance.

Zhan Renhuai is also He Jianguo's classmate, only has a primary school education, and was not admitted to junior high school.

The age of rural children going to school is uneven, generally they start school at the age of ten, there are also one or two years earlier, and the age difference between students in the same grade is even one or two years or three or four years old, and it often happens that several brothers and sisters go to school together, so Zhan Renhuai is a little older than Zhan Renxi and He Jianguo.

Zhan Renhuai once married a wife, but eight years ago he had a miscarriage and hemorrhage, and died, and he has never married a wife since.

His temper was particularly short-tempered, and his wife was beaten to death by him.

Yes, it's domestic violence!

Domestic violence is very common in rural areas, sometimes Qi Shufang goes out to work, passes by the door of other people's houses in the mountains, and will encounter some men beating their wives.

The society has just begun to develop, the country's laws are not perfect, and there are still some bad habits of the feudal era in remote areas, many people do not understand the law, thinking that there is always a time when the two of them are fighting, it is the end of the bed and the end of the bed, and they do not think that it is a crime for a husband to beat his wife, and after the Yue family claimed twenty yuan, Zhan Renhuai was not punished in any way.

Therefore, although Zhan Renhuai's family conditions are not the worst and he can eat well, after the girls from ten miles and eight towns know about this, they would rather marry a poor man with a gentle temperament than marry him, and he is thirty years old.

Qi Shufang felt that Zhan Renxi's domestic violence was disgusting, and her behavior of preparing to buy a woman was also disgusting, but many people were used to it.

She did not know what language to use to evaluate the phenomenon.

Soon, Qi Shufang had no time to think about these things.

June is the wheat harvest season, we must take advantage of the sunny day to harvest all the wheat in the field, threshing, every day at four or five o'clock to get up to work, related to the next season's rations, no one dares to be lazy, the wheat harvesting, the loading of the truck, the threshing of the threshing, the spread of the dry, if you see the cloudy weather, you have to immediately rush to harvest, so as not to be harvested and have been harvested wheat to the rain.

As a result, the entire Helou brigade was full of men, women, and children, and every family was seven or eight-year-old children cooking at home, and the students were also on farm vacation and went home to help with the work.

Unconsciously, it has been four months since I came here, so fast! However, I have only been with He Jianguo for half a month.

He Jianguo has been walking for a long time, but no letter has been sent back so far, Qi Shufang is worried, and when she arrives in the field, she wields a sickle and bends down to cut wheat.

Now the sun is blazing, so hot that people's throats are smoking.

Tired of cutting, she stood up with her waist, moved her numb legs and feet, drank two sips of water with the army-green kettle she carried, saw Zhang Cuihua sweating profusely, and did not bring water, so she gave the kettle to her, and when she drank water, she saw the girl who was gleaning the ears of wheat and the boy chasing the flatbed cart with a dung basket on his back, when the cows, horses, mules and donkeys pulled the cart and ran, the dung was pulled on the road, and the busy coachman did not have time to clean up, so the boys rushed to run forward, and the first one to run to the front neatly shoveled the manure into the dung basket.

Everyone was busy, Qi Shufang was embarrassed to stand for a long time, feeling that her waist was not so sore, she put away the kettle and continued to cut wheat, and the corner of her eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhong Cuifang in the busy crowd in the field next door, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Zhong Cuifang was also wearing a hat, but her face was flushed, and her skin had darkened for more than half a month.

"Shufang, what do you think Jianxia's daughter-in-law is doing? I think she lives well with Jianxia, Jianxia hurts her, if someone like Zhan Renhuai is unlucky. Zhang Cuihua and Qi Shufang were in the same field, after drinking the water to quench their thirst, they went into the ground to cut wheat together, and when they saw Qi Shufang's movements, they couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't see anything, I just think Cuifang is quite suitable for us here. "Marrying Zhan Renhuai will definitely be unlucky, and time will not wear out Zhan Renhuai's irascible character.

Zhang Cuihua smiled: "What can't you adapt, I heard her say yesterday, their family has a lot of mountains, all of them are mountains, planting terraces, on the top of the mountain, when the farm is busy, you can be tired, and the wheat you cut has to be carried down one by one, until you finish carrying it, if it rains, you can be tired." There is more rain in Sichuan than here, the fog is heavy, and the crops often fail. Although we have to carry the wheat cut here, but when it rains, the flatbed truck can't go into the ground, and when it rains, it won't be used in the field, and it won't be used on a sunny day. ”

"Second sister-in-law, can you understand what Cuifang is saying? Zhong Cuifang speaks an authentic Sichuan dialect, she listens very hard, and occasionally encounters Zhong Cuifang who speaks with chickens and ducks, and can only point fingers and gesticulate.

"I can understand it, why can't I understand it?"

Qi Shufang said confusedly: "I don't understand, I'm embarrassed to talk to Cuifang." Originally, she wanted to ask Zhong Cuifang why she came here, but she gave up because she couldn't communicate.

Zhang Cuihua's face was full of pride, "There is a sister-in-law in the room near my mother's house, who is from Sichuan! However, my sister-in-law can't speak Sichuan for a long time, and now her accent is similar to ours. Wait a few years, wait for Cuifang to live for a long time, learn what we say here, and you will know what she is talking about. ”

I see, she said, Zhang Cuihua also has no special functions, how can the communication with Zhong Cuifang be unimpeded.

Qi Shufang couldn't understand Zhong Cuifang's accent, Zhong Cuifang could understand the local dialect, the local dialect is similar to Mandarin, and it is a dialect that is relatively easy to understand, so when it was dark and she got off work, Qi Shufang talked to her, and she immediately responded: "Brother Qi told me that I can live a good life here, so I followed." ”

Qi Shufang's question was, "Your home is thousands of miles away from here, how did you think of coming here."

Qi Shufang listened carefully and hard, but still couldn't understand what Zhong Cuifang said, so she had to pull Zhang Cuihua to translate, Zhang Cuihua laughed, and truthfully translated to Qi Shufang.

Qi Shufang was stunned: "Good day?" Qi Mazi used this reason to deceive Zhong Cuifang?

Zhong Cuifang nodded: "It's a good day, I don't get tired of cutting wheat, and I don't have to carry it down the mountain, I started to work in the field to prepare wheat when I was seven or eight years old, I fell on my heels, broke my forehead, and I dribbed a lot of blood, and I still have scars." I was glad to see the grain in the ashtray, I had never seen so much grain. Our family is poor, my mother locks up the grain, and when I cook, I count the rice grains in the pot, and I can only drink soup, and the rice grains are my brother's. Jianxia was very good to me, he cooked when he was at home, and he followed me first when there was something delicious, I heard that I like to eat spicy food, and there were no chili peppers at home, so he asked someone to ask for a lot of red chili peppers back. ”

She smiled with a satisfied face, specially opened her bangs, and approached Qi Shufang to let her see the scar on her forehead.

Qi Shufang carried a flashlight with her, raised her hand to take a photo, and sure enough, she saw a scar that was inches long, and it was naturally healed, there were no stitches, and she was usually covered by bangs, but she didn't notice it.

Qi Shufang asked, "Qi Mazi brought a total of three people, do you know those two people?"

Not in the same production team, she didn't know the specific situation of the two, but she hated human traffickers very much, so she was always worried about this matter and always wanted to inquire clearly.

Speaking of the two women who were walking with her, Zhong Cuifang replied honestly: "We have known each other all the way." Yang Caixia, a 25-year-old married woman, is from Guizhou, far away from us, and has a son and a daughter. The unmarried is called Yao Hongzhu, who is one year older than me, and I am not from the same place, and I also live a good life with Brother Qi. ”

"Yang Caixia has been married and has children, how can she want to come here?" Yao Hongzhu and Zhong Cuifang, who are not married and naïve, come over with longing, and it is reasonable to say, Yang Caixia, how could she leave her husband and children?

"I don't know. Zhong Cuifang shook her head first, and then thought of something, "Sister Caixia said that her family is very poor, and she didn't have the next meal, she really didn't want to live it, so she came out with Brother Qi." There are a lot of people like her, and there are many married women in our mountains who can't live anymore and go outside to live a good life. If you're doing well outside, you won't come back, and if you're doing well, you'll come back. I haven't seen anyone back until now, so they must be doing well outside. ”

Zhong Cuifang took it for granted, and didn't feel anything bad at all.

After Zhang Cuihua finished translating, she said with a smile: "My sister-in-law also has children in her hometown, and later married my brother here and gave birth to four children, and I didn't see anything bad." ”

Qi Shufang actually felt that it made sense.

No, she was speechless.

Since Zhong Cuifang, Yang Caixia and Yao Hongzhu were all willing to come over with Qi Mazi and enjoyed it, and they were very busy next, Qi Shufang no longer paid attention to this matter. If they were involuntarily abducted and trafficked here by Qi Mazi, and they remembered their hometown and wanted to go back, then they would definitely help, but unfortunately not.

As an outsider, she has no right to make decisions for these three women who want to live a good life.

Finally, the wheat was cut, but suddenly the wind was strong and the dark clouds were overwhelming, and everyone was in a hurry, and some of the wheat grains exposed to the sun after threshing on the field were not dry, and there were still wheat that had not had time to be threshed, and all the wheat cut in the field was not transported out!

Shen Erdan said loudly: "Work hard! Leave the women to load the cart in the field, and the others will tie the wheat into a big bundle and carry it to the field!"

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly ran to the field to direct the members to transport the dried wheat grains into sacks to the granary, and the undried wheat grains were piled up into piles of small mountain bags, and the unthreshed wheat was piled into wheat stacks, and all of them were carefully covered with straw mats.

Halfway through the work, the rain began to fall sparsely.

Qi Shufang is one of the women who stayed in the field, constantly picking the wheat into the car with a fork, she was wearing a long-sleeved floral shirt today, worried that the clothes would be unsightly after the rain, and when she saw He Daoxing playing on the ground, she immediately said: "Sandan'er, you take the key to my house to open the door, and bring me the raincoat hanging behind the door and the rubber boots under the bed." ”

Zhang Cuihua also shouted: "Sandan'er, come to our house and ask your brother to send our family's robes, and then tell your eldest sister of your mother's family, and send your grandfather and your aunt's too." ”

He Daoxing rushed home, and soon delivered the raincoat and the coat with his brother and sister.

At this time, the rain was already very tight, the clothes were half wet, Qi Shufang felt uncomfortable, and quickly put the raincoat on her body and changed into rubber boots, this raincoat is bright red, and the rubber boots are blue.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the wheat from the field was carried to the field, and many of them were soaked.

After Qi Shufang's observation, about one-fifth of the wet wheat, that is, about 100 acres of wheat was harvested after the rain, and it was still built into a wheat stack and covered with a straw mat.
