Chapter 3 Forced Marriage

"Daddy......" Shumei exerted all her strength and shouted.

Hearing Shumei's scream, the two people who were tearing together stopped.

Shumei stood there, holding the clothes she had just taken off, crying and mourning. When she saw the money that fell on the ground, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, in fact, she didn't need to ask, she also guessed that Daddy was going to sell her and change her relatives for her brother.

"What? Clothes that don't fit? Her father asked without guilt, and he didn't mean to explain it to her at all.

"Are you going to sell me?" Shumei tried her best to lower her voice, and controlled the anger in her heart as much as possible, no matter what was wrong, he was also her own father, and she had to endure it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Lao Tzu is a good family affair for you, the son of the gas station manager in the town, that is a rich man, you don't know what to do. ”

"I'm not rare, if I want to marry, I have to marry Zhang Jizong."

"You are not ashamed, the girl's family still wants to choose a man by herself, and the parents have always been in charge of marriage, this family matter is so decided, the day after tomorrow, the Ma family will come to pick up people, you have to marry or not."

The cowardly Su Kui sat on the bench, sulking, and did not stand up to say a word for Shumei. Maybe she didn't want to say it at all, but for the sake of her son, she also acquiesced to this family business.

"A-Niang, A-Niang?"

Su Kui glanced at Shumei helplessly, shook her head and sighed, and did not speak.

"I won't marry, and I won't marry if I am killed." Shumei slammed the clothes in her hand to the ground and stepped on it with her foot.

This angered her father, and he jumped like thunder, picked up the chicken feather broom on the table, and beat Shumei's legs indiscriminately. Shumei jumped out of the way, he picked up the new clothes on the ground, shook the dust, and threw them on the table.

"Get on my knees." He pointed at Shumei with a chicken feather broom and said, the green tendons on his forehead swelled, and his eyes were so wide that they were about to roll out.

"I don't, unless you let me marry Jizong." Afraid that her father would come forward and commit violence again, she subconsciously took two steps back. She knows that it is not easy for her parents to raise her, and she usually endures how her father beats and scolds, but this is the only thing that works, this is about a lifetime of happiness, and she has to be the master for herself.

Her father was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and his eyes squinted upward, as if he was thinking about a problem. Shumei shuddered when she saw him so abnormal, she followed the root of the wall, wanting to go around to the gate and go to Jizong to discuss countermeasures. But as soon as she tried to move a few steps lightly, her father roared, which frightened her so much that her body shook involuntarily.

She didn't have time to think about it, and rushed out of the door at lightning speed, running in the direction of the big river.

Her father carried a chicken feather broom, chasing and shouting behind him, "On the contrary, you disobedient and unfilial, you stand for Lao Tzu, if you don't beat you for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, see Lao Tzu catch you, don't clean you up well, you lose money, raise you so big, more than 20 years of hard work is not even worth the 2,000 yuan......"

He chased all the way, and his mouth never stopped, and it was really a waste not to tell the book. Listening to his invective, everyone in the village opened the door to watch the play. Although they are all people from the same village who have lived together for decades, most of them are holding the psychology of watching jokes. Occasionally, one or two people would ask with concern what had happened.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Shumei ran to the river, the lake was calm, only the frogs were heard singing for the night, and there was no ferry by the river.

"Run! Keep running! You want your daddy's life, don't you? Her father bent over and gasped, already pushing behind her.

In this big summer, running this kind of marathon is really not a fun thing, and Shumei is also so tired that she can't breathe, sweating like rain.

Her father rested enough, and approached Shumei step by step. In the faint moonlight, looking at the oncoming Daddy, like a monster that loves human bones and blood, Shumei also slowly retreated.

"Daddy, please, don't push me."

"Come here, you can go back with me first."

Shumei shook her head, knowing that her feet had been stepped on, she still didn't stop retreating. Just listen to Dong's life, and the river splashes half a meter high. She didn't call for help, let the cold lake swallow her, but at this moment her heart was very calm, never so relaxed.

She closed her crystal clear eyes and meditated in her heart, fate is so tricky, since there is no power to change it, let me end it with my own hands! Her consciousness was blurring, and she could no longer hear the frog's cry, which was good, and she would soon be completely relieved.

Her father took off the clothes that were still dripping and changed into the clean clothes handed over by Su Kui, "I really don't know who she looks like, a tendon, she dares to fight with me to death, it's not that there is a name for a village flower, who would spend this money to marry a country girl, and I don't know how to be blessed in the blessing." ”

"The child is her father, don't forget it! Think of something else? ”

"Something else? If there is another way, in front of Huang Qiniang during the day, you will not be scared like that. Her father sneered and said in a sarcastic tone.

After changing her clothes, her father began to rummage through the cabinets to find things, found a few unused strips of cloth in the closet, picked them up and went to Shumei's room.

Shumei was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her cherry mouth was a little blue, and she was wearing the previous wedding dress, even if she was so embarrassed, she couldn't hide her beauty, she was simply a sleeping beauty.

Her father tied her hands and feet with strips of cloth, admired his masterpiece with his waist, nodded with satisfaction, and then covered Shumei with a thin quilt and locked the door from the outside.

"Child, father, what are you doing here? Why are you tying up your daughter, what is this called! You're still not the father of the child! Although Su Kui is cowardly, seeing her father abusing the child like this, she is inevitably a little unbearable.

"Walk, go back to the house and sleep, woman's kindness."

In summer, the sky dawns very early, and Shumei, who is used to getting up early, is awakened by the crowing of the rooster.

"Wow......"

She opened her eyes slightly and saw the familiar mosquito net, which was only familiar because there was a patch on the top that she had made with her own hands. It's at home, am I not dead? How could it be at home? She asked herself in her heart.

She tried to move her feet, but she couldn't move, and her hands were the same, she removed the quilt covering her hands, only to find that she was tied, and she struggled with all her strength to break free of the strip of cloth that bound her. In the end, they all ended in failure, and the legs and wrists were strangled with blood because of her struggle.

"Daddy, Daddy, Auntie, you let me out."

"Wake up! You're just going to be a bride! Your life is given by us, I can't help you be so ruined, if you want to die, you will die to the Hu family, otherwise how can we repay us for raising you. Her father deliberately raised his voice outside the door.

Shumei couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads. She even wondered if she was their own, they didn't care about her life or death at all, they cared about the money that could be used to get a daughter-in-law for her brother.
