Chapter 8: Beaten
"Hell!" How could she not know about this?
I have rarely gone out, and after the meeting, because of the reason of 'fainting', I was at home all day.
Generally, after a girl in Yancheng is fifteen years old, someone will come to the door to propose marriage, and the better the family background, the more sought after the woman is.
The You family has a big business, and the people in Yancheng are greedy, You Wu thought it was because of his own body at first, and no one came to the door to propose. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that everyone knew that she had already made a marriage, and she was just waiting to get married.
No, it's not okay to be sloppy when it comes to getting married! You Wu thought about it, so he could only hold it off first, and then slowly think of a way.
"Be sensible, let's go, go home."
The three of them hurriedly got into the carriage and hurried back.
"You Wu, why are you in such a hurry?" The speed of the car was so fast that there was no time to dodge the stones on the road, and the car was very bumpy.
"Something is wrong!" You Wu shook off the words angrily, she is very irritable now, don't mess with her!
Seeing that she was really angry, Mingli didn't dare to ask more, and like Mingde, she found a comfortable position, lay down, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
The wheels were rolling around, and they ran forward without stopping. You Wu felt a mess in her heart, she really hadn't encountered the matter of getting married, and she didn't know whether to refuse or obey.
"Riding the ......" Suddenly, the sound of Maframa parking was heard in front.
When the car stopped, all three of them swooped forward, and Mingli accidentally hit the wooden plank on the carriage, making a muffled "bang".
"Why?" Mingli rubbed his nose and scolded, hurting him to death.
"Young master, there are so many people in front of you, and the carriage can't pass." The groom explained in embarrassment.
You Wu lifted the curtain on the side and looked out, there were many people gathered in front of him, pointing and pointing, gathering together to discuss something.
The carriage was blocked, the sound was noisy, and You Wu was even more irritable. She pounded her head, lifted the curtain of the car, and walked down.
Seeing You Wu get out of the car, Mingli also pulled Mingde out of the car, and the two stood beside her on the left and right, like guards.
The crowd was huddled together, leaning against the side of the road, forming a semicircle, and everyone craned their necks to look in.
You Wu squeezed towards the crowd, and the further she went, the louder the insults became, and she couldn't help frowning, very disgusted by the voice.
When he arrived in the inner circle, You Wu saw the protagonist in the circle.
A middle-aged woman with fat breasts, a thin man with an honest and sincere appearance, and a little boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
From the discussion, You Wu figured out the relationship between the three. The woman is the boy's own sister, while the thin man is the woman's husband. If it weren't for several people saying this, looking at the situation at the scene, You Wu wouldn't have thought like this at all.
I saw that the fat woman was holding a broken feather duster in her hand, and kept hitting the boy, spitting out abusive words in her mouth, while the thin man kept stopping the woman's movements, but because of her physical fitness, the man did not stop the woman, but was pushed aside by her.
"Smack!" A crisp sound came from the junction of the feather duster and the boy's arm, startling the others with goosebumps, but the child who was beaten did not make any sound.
You Wu was also startled, goosebumps bulged on his arms, and he shrank for a while. She looked at the boy who had been beaten, curled up on the ground, motionless, his torn clothes hanging down his body, revealing his bruised skin.
"You calamity, I've raised you for so many years, it's useless......" The woman continued to curse, her hands were not enough, and from time to time she stretched out her feet and carried it, as if it was not a person lying on the ground, but a cold and hard stone.
I don't know what the woman said, which irritated the boy, and suddenly, he raised his head, revealing his immature face, his gray lips pursed, and his face was full of deep and shallow scars.
And the moment he looked up, You Wu was attracted by those dark eyes. There was no expression on his face, and a pair of deep dark eyes embedded in his pale cheeks were even more eye-catching. Pain, forbearance, and worry filled his eyes, and his eyes were the carriers of his heart.
You Wu lives a simple life, but she is not overflowing with love, she can even be regarded as indifferent, she never cares about other people, except for her family in this life.
But at this moment, she was a little moved. In her last life, she was sent to the operating table by her biological parents, had her kidney cut off, donated to her younger brother, and then died unexpectedly, and when she closed her eyes completely, she only had hatred left in her heart. But he, at a young age, his parents died early, and he grew up in the scolding and beating of his sister, but there was no trace of hatred in his eyes, only sadness and forbearance, how tolerant and strong his heart was, You Wu couldn't guess.
The irritable heart gradually fell silent, You Wu felt a little sad, and the hatred in his heart for his parents in the previous life disappeared at this moment.
The woman seemed to be annoyed by the boy's fearless gaze, and she struck again with all her might.
And You Wu watched the feather duster in the woman's hand fall again, her head was empty, and she rushed over and hugged him firmly, preventing the feather duster from hitting him.
And Mingli and Mingde finally squeezed into the crowd, and saw You Wu rushing inside, but before they could stop it, the feather duster in the woman's hand had already fallen.
The pain struck suddenly, gradually spreading from the center of his back, and after a while, it swept through his body, You Wu closed his eyes in pain, and almost gritted his teeth.
Looking at the man in brocade who was beaten, the woman was stunned, and before she could react, she was thrown out by Mingli and Mingde who rushed over.
"Does it hurt?" Mingli asked cautiously, with a look of chagrin. You must know that in the You family, when men are injured, they will only be scolded and ridiculed when they return home; But the woman was injured, and when the man returned home, he was beaten and knelt in the ancestral hall.
Now, they let You Wu, the big darling of the You family, be beaten, Mingli felt that there was darkness in front of him, and lightning and thunder thundered on his head.
"No, I didn't ......" I wanted to answer, but it really hurt so much that I couldn't make a sound.
"Let's go, go home." Mingli slowly picked up You Wu and walked outside.
The crowd automatically made a way, they looked at You Wu with some admiration, and felt that he was a little stupid, just now they could listen to it really, it must be uncomfortable at that moment.
"Wait, wait......" You Wu struggled with Mingli, pointing back.
Following her fingers, Mingli saw the thin boy. He sat up, his eyes a little confused, staring straight at them.
"Mingde, take him with you." With that, he walked briskly forward.
Mingde stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and the boy hesitated for a moment, then stood up with his hand, his eyes becoming firm and focused.
At this time, the woman who had fallen into a rut got up from the ground, and when she saw the boy following someone else, she was so angry that she shouted behind her.
"Moldy, if you dare not join the army, I will remarry and let your dead ghost brother-in-law be cannon fodder."
"Pei Niang, I can go, he's still young!" The man begs, hoping that the woman will change her mind.
"What, are you forcing me to remarry!" The woman's shrill cry rang out and was heard far away.
The quarrels continued, the night slowly fell, and the people gradually left, no longer caring about other people's affairs.
