Mom said seriously: "I know it in my heart." If you don't marry the people in the city, will you still marry the poor ghosts in the village? Whoever has a girl can help the family a little bit when she gets married, and I can't raise her for nothing! ”

"Mom, you're right!" The second brother said: "You see that Aunt Liuye is angry, you have to let Qiao'er apologize well another day, and your mother-in-law can treat her like this in the future?" ”

The second sister-in-law said on the side: "Although this is a good thing, you can also say it well." Qiao'er's personality has not been the same since she divorced. I always feel that everyone in the world is cheating on her. She's sick now, don't mess with her. ”

"It doesn't matter if she's sick or not, she's my daughter, and it's up to me whether she marries or not." Mom said.

I said to my eldest brother, "Do you hear that?" If I don't marry a second-rate son, I'm sick. ”

The eldest brother sneered and strode in: "Mom! It's going to be the nineties, you still think that the old society can sell children and daughters, but Qiao'er said that she doesn't agree, but it won't work. ”

When my mother saw my eldest brother and I coming back, she knew that I must have said what had just happened, so she said coldly, "What do you know?" This person works in a steel factory, and his salary is more than 40 yuan a month! And there is also a welfare room. When will rural people like us have such a good thing? ”

The second sister-in-law also said: "Yes, big brother, this person is my cousin, I have met Zhijun and I, we all think it's pretty good, people are very honest, it's just a little older, but when you're older, it hurts people, Qiao'er will definitely not suffer in the past." ”

I cried angrily again: "You don't have to pick and choose the good ones, he always drinks, and beats his wife after drinking." Six years ago, he was almost imprisoned because of a fight, and his father spent a lot of money to redeem it, and later gambled and fought, and his father was angry to death, so he took over! ”

"There is such a thing!" The eldest brother said angrily: "It's just scum! ”

"He went to the village to marry his daughter-in-law this time because everyone around him knew what he was like, and no one dared to marry him, so he wanted to find a good person in the countryside."

The second sister-in-law glanced at the second brother, and the second brother hurriedly shook his head. I guess she's asking if the second brother told me.

She said, "What do you say, and to whom do you listen to these things?" ”

I continued, "It doesn't matter who says it, what I say is the truth!" He has a salary every month, but he doesn't have enough to smoke and play cards, and he counts on his mother for food. Now I still have a foreign debt of 50 yuan, and I am waiting for everyone to repay the money when we get married! "I told all the things that happened back then in one breath.

Li Cai frowned, and looked in the direction of her second sister-in-law, she probably didn't expect this person's character to be so bad.

The second sister-in-law's face changed with a brush: "Who are you listening to?" Isn't this slanderous to people, it's not like that at all! ”

The eldest brother said: "Liu Ye, although this county is big, there are several people in our village who work in the steel factory, so it's easy to inquire." Do not think that the people of the city are necessarily noble, and that some of them are not as good as us. ”

The second sister-in-law's face turned red all of a sudden, and the meaning of his words was very clear. She didn't know what this cousin was like, but she still hoped that I could help my family earn two hundred yuan, and also hoped to get other benefits from my relatives in this city, so she pushed me into the fire pit with a black heart.

The second brother said angrily: "Even if he has a problem, it is because the woman is not well educated, can you marry him and let him change it?" ”

Mom also said: "Yes, men are all to be trained, you can talk to him well, it will be fine." ”

"I'm not in the mood, I can't do my own thing, why should I care about him, I don't want to be beaten by him, and I don't want to be scolded by him for being a 200 yuan purchase."

The second brother slapped the table anxiously: "I said what the hell is going on with you?" Anything at home, as long as I want you to do it, there is not a single time when you can say yes. I'm your brother, you know? Listen to me when Dad is gone! ”

I sneered, "You deserve me to listen to you?" Do you work to impress me, or do you impress me with your character? You're just a parasite at home who eats and drinks for nothing, expecting to drink your sister's blood. ”

"What do you say, I'll give you face!" He rushed in my direction and was stopped by my eldest brother.

"Big brother, don't worry about me!"

The eldest brother said: "I said, if you dare to fight Qiao'er, I will beat you, if you don't believe you, try it!" ”

The second brother hit me several times, but was pushed back by the eldest brother, and finally the eldest brother fell directly to the ground, and he snorted in pain.

Liu Ye and his mother helped him up in a panic.

The second brother shouted anxiously: "Mom! You see that the eldest brother is simply crazy, Qiao'er is like this, and he won't let me beat her! ”

Liu Ye cried on the side and grabbed Mom's arm: "Mom! Qiao'er doesn't want to marry my cousin, so why slander him? He's working hard in the city, and if it gets out, will it go? I don't think she wants to get married, but she hates me as a second sister-in-law. ”

Mom never spoke, staring at me hatefully, with a chill and strangeness in her eyes that she had never seen before.

The second brother sneered: "Du Cheng dumped you, you don't want Yu Hongcai, I want to see who you can marry!" ”

I said, "Don't worry, no matter who I marry, I won't marry a parasite who only knows how to eat my family." ”

The second brother's eyes were red, but because the eldest brother was in front of me, he didn't dare to come over.

Mom said weakly: "Don't make any noise, second child, you go in and take out all your sister's clothes." ”

The second brother was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly agreed and walked into my room.

My mother looked at me and said, "You give me a happy word, will you marry him or not?" ”

"Don't marry. I'm not going to sell my life for two hundred dollars. I looked at her firmly.

"Okay, I've raised you for nineteen years, and it's okay to be benevolent. You get out of the house immediately, even if you go to ask for food, you go to rob the house, I don't care about you. ”

When the eldest brother heard this, he hurriedly said, "Where did you let Qiao'er go on the big night?" ”

"I don't care, if she doesn't agree to marry Yu Hongcai, I won't recognize her as a daughter. I married your father at the age of eighteen, and a woman's home will never be in her mother's house, but on her husband's side, isn't she capable? Let her live on her own. ”

At this time, the second brother had already taken out the box containing my clothes and threw it into the yard, and the lid of the box was opened, and several old clothes inside were all scattered.

I didn't say a word, I walked over and picked up a furoshiki and put up the clothes one by one, I was already nineteen years old, the only good-looking clothes were the red shirt that Liu Cui gave me, and the others were all tattered patched clothes, which was really sad.

The eldest brother was anxious to reason with his mother, no matter what he said, my mother didn't speak, just looked at me coldly.

"If you have the ability, don't come back to beg us for the rest of your life!"

I looked at the triumphant second brother, the indifferent mother, and the second sister-in-law who kept crying, and my heart was desolate.

"That's what you said, I promise I won't come back, and don't come to me when you can't get by."

"Don't worry! We don't need you to live better. Don't listen to your nagging anymore. The second brother said.

I'm almost laughing, you're so confident. I walked out with my little baggage. Only the eldest brother chased me out and grabbed me.

"Qiao'er! Don't be angry with your mother. I'll talk to her and she'll not kick you away. ”

I smiled calmly: "Big brother, in all fairness, if you were me, in this family, being calculated by them like this, would you still be able to stay?" Even if I don't leave now, I will have to leave sooner or later. You must take care of yourself, and you must also be firm, you must not marry that Wang Orchid, it will kill you. ”

The eldest brother nodded: "I won't marry her, but where are you going?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I'm looking for a classmate, right?"

"Oh no, you don't have much to do with them anymore." The eldest brother thought for a moment, and then smiled: "There you have it!" I'll take you to find Lin Cailian, she also lives by herself now, you and her are companions. Besides, you have to be a bridesmaid for Liu Cui tomorrow, it happens to be close, listen to me! ”

I thought about it and agreed, and my eldest brother took the little burden in his hand and walked forward with me, and it was already completely dark. I once thought about secretly leaving the house and going to work, but I didn't expect to be kicked out of the house by my mother.

That's fine, I still think about whether to pay off the debts of my family if I make money, and now it seems that I can really save this heart. I don't owe them either.

Lin Cailian lives in the west of the village, a separate small courtyard, which is quite neatly tied.

The eldest brother shouted twice, and two black dogs ran out of the house barking madly, because they knew the eldest brother and soon stopped barking.

Lin Cailian hurriedly came out and was stunned when she saw that it was the eldest brother and me.

The eldest brother grabbed her and whispered a few words.

Lin Cailian smiled and said, "Okay! She can stay as long as she wants, you can rest assured. ”

"Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning. Qiao'er, you sleep well. ”

"Yes, I know. Slow down, it's getting dark. ”

The eldest brother looked at Lin Cailian for a long time, then touched her hair, and then walked away quickly.

I stood in the corner and saw their affectionate appearance, and the circles under my eyes were hot, which is what people who love each other should be.

Lin Cailian grabbed me and smiled affectionately: "Good sister, you are here!" It's kind of to accompany me. ”

"Thank you, Sister Cailian."

I followed her in with my baggage, and Lin Cailian's house was also surrounded by four walls, but it was very clean. I put the clothes in the corner and sat down, feeling a little empty.

Lin Cailian smiled: "You haven't eaten, I'll make you something to eat, do you like it?" ”

"Don't be busy, I'm not hungry."

"Your eldest brother said that you just came back from the city, how can you have time to eat! Actually, I've wanted to eat it for a long time, but I'm too busy to do it alone, and I don't want to do it if you don't help. Don't be polite to me! She said as she picked up a flashlight and walked out.

I knew she was going to the yard to pick vegetables, and I was grateful.
