Chapter 29: A Kidnapped Marriage

"Xiaomei, don't go, mom can't bear you!"

"Mom......"

The two cries came from the entrance of a courtyard wall made of adobe not far away, and the inner and outer three floors surrounded many villagers watching the excitement.

Li Yuenlong took the first step to find a relatively high place, so that Jin Sheng could see clearly.

He and Xiao Wang stood beside Jin Sheng on left and right, standing on tiptoe and stretching out their necks to look into the middle of the crowd.

I saw a girl in a Chinese-style wedding dress at the gate of the courtyard, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking no more than sixteen or seventeen, supported by two big men left and right, and her slender body struggled to move.

Less than five meters in front of the girl, a woman in her forties collapsed on the ground, her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn, and she raised one hand and cried at the girl with tears streaming down her face: "Xiaomei, don't go, Mom doesn't want you to go!" ”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman who was about fifty years old and rich walked over, pinched her waist and stood in front of the woman, and said arrogantly: "I said Xiaomei's mother, you owe 30,000 yuan to Fan Zhishu, and Fan Zhishu has a lot, seeing that your family's difficulties are not enough, not only forgave this debt, but also gave your family 10,000 yuan of bride price, where to find this good thing." ”

Xiaomei's mother grabbed the woman's thigh and cried: "Aunt Li, Xiaomei is only sixteen, Fan Tao is a fool, marrying him, Xiaomei is a loss." ”

"Mom...... I don't want to get married, I want to go to school......" The girl called Xiaomei also cried into tears, but no matter how she struggled, she looked powerless and helpless under the big hands of the two big men who were like iron tongs.

Aunt Li comforted Xiaomei's mother: "You are really confused, Fan Tao is a little stupid, but Fan Zhishu has money and power, and he has already bought a good building for Xiaomei Fan Tao and them in the county seat, and Xiaomei will be from the city in the future." And Xiaomei married and ate fragrant and spicy food, and enjoyed happiness for a lifetime, what else can't you think of. ”

Immediately, she said to the two big men: "Big and two, send the bride into the car quickly, if you miss the hour, Fan Zhishu will be unhappy." ”

The eldest and second sons agreed, and set up the thin Xiaomei and got into a Mercedes-Benz car with red balloons not far away. Aunt Li walked a few steps, got into the black Audi in the back, and shouted to the villagers who were watching the excitement before entering: "Don't forget to go to Fan Zhishu's house to drink wedding wine for a while, no one is there, and the gift money will also arrive, don't make Fan Zhishu angry." ”

Immediately after, Mercedes Benz followed, Audi followed, and seven or eight cars followed, and they drove away.

Looking at the dusty convoy, the lively villagers pointed and discussed. In fact, from the conversation between Aunt Li and Xiaomei just now, Li Yuanlang and they heard a rough idea, and when they asked the villagers around them, it was really Xiaomei's family who borrowed 30,000 yuan from Fan Haicheng, the branch secretary, and couldn't pay it back, so they used Xiaomei to pay off the debt and marry Fan Haicheng's only stupid son Fan Tao as his wife.

Xiaomei, a sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, was waiting to be released, but she was forced to marry, and staged a tragic story of Huang Shiren and Xi'er in the new era

"Bastard, that's too unusual." Jin Sheng couldn't help but scold, causing the old villager who had just rushed over to see the excitement to remind: "Comrade, don't say that, if you let Fan Zhishu hear you, you will be miserable, and you won't be able to leave the village." ”

"How capable are you Fan Zhishu, so domineering." Li Yuanlang interjected and asked.

"Fan Zhishu is the king of heaven in our village, he has money and power, that Daben is his family's car, and there are more than ten young people as helpers, if anyone offends him, he will be beaten lightly, and you will be sent to the class room in a heavy way, and you will not be able to get out without losing your family."

The old man's words are by no means pretentious, and the facts in front of him have already explained everything. Jin Sheng, Li Yuenlong and Xiao Wang are all indignant, how can they sit idly by?

Jin Sheng strode up to Xiaomei's mother, and Li Yuanlang slowly helped her up. Her daughter was taken away by life, but she couldn't do anything, she was a mother, she was humiliated, her tears had long been cried dry, and her anger turned into flames, she looked at the direction of the convoy, gritted her teeth and said: "Fan Haicheng, if Xiaomei is bullied, you will not die well, and your whole family will not end well." ”

This is the most vicious curse of all. The onlookers shook their heads and sighed, glanced at Xiaomei's mother, and dispersed helplessly.

Only the old man didn't leave, in addition to sighing, he was more sympathetic, and opened the conversation by the way: "Xiaomei's father was paralyzed in bed and had no money for treatment, so he borrowed 8,000 yuan from the branch secretary from a loan shark." Over the years, the profits have rolled over, and all of a sudden it has reached 30,000 yuan, and there is no money to repay the debt, so the branch secretary forced Xiaomei's mother to use Xiaomei as his daughter-in-law. What is the use of Fan Tao marrying a daughter-in-law as a fool, it's not cheap, the old widower of the branch secretary! ”

"Don't talk about it!" When Xiaomei's mother heard the truth, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry bitterly, grief-stricken.

Angry, Jin Sheng clenched his fists tightly and comforted: "Old sister-in-law, don't worry, we must take care of Xiaomei's affairs, and we will definitely bring her back to you in good condition." ”

"Who are you?" Xiaomei's mother wiped her tears and looked at Jin Sheng and the three of them in surprise.

Seeing this, the old man rushed over and introduced: "They are merchants from other places, and they are here to do business." ”

The glimmer of light that originally rose in the woman's eyes was extinguished because she learned Li Yuanlang's identity, and she shook her head in disappointment and said, "It's useless, you can't control this matter." ”

"Old sister-in-law, our boss Jin is a good talker, don't be too sad, just wait at home, we'll ask someone for you!"

After inquiring about the address of Fan Haicheng's house from the old man, Li Yuanlang took the lead, followed by Jin Sheng and Xiao Wang, and walked briskly towards Fan Haicheng's house.

Fan Haicheng's house is located at the highest point in the village, which is a magnificent two-story small western-style building. The yard is covered with tarpaulin, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

The second son who was standing at the door was munching melon seeds, and when he saw Li Yuanlang and his entourage, well-dressed and extraordinary, he stepped forward and asked politely: "The three are cadres from the town, right?" Did you bring an invitation? ”

Li Yuanlang nodded: "We are here to attend the wedding of Fan Zhishu's son, and the invitation was forgotten in the car, should we go back and get it to you?" ”

"No, no." The second son waved his hand again and again: "I see that you are big cadres, you don't need it, I will go and notify the branch secretary." ”

"Let's go to him ourselves and tell me where he is." Li Yuanlang waved his hand.

Erxiao pointed to the inside of the small building, and said, "The branch secretary is attending the ceremony in the living room on the first floor, please come in." ”

The three of them were not polite either, and walked through the small building in the courtyard.

The ground floor is very spacious and luxuriously decorated. On the small platform built in the main hall, a middle-aged man in his fifties sits, with a chubby face and black hair, messy hair like a nest chicken, with a light gray suit and tie similar to a red scarf, somewhat nondescript and very funny.

In front of him, Xiaomei, who was standing crying, and the ugly man with small eyebrows and small eyes who pulled the other end of the big red flower, couldn't stop swallowing his saliva and smirked vigorously when he looked at the bride.

There is no need to guess, the one sitting should be Fan Haicheng, and the ugly man is his stupid son Fan Tao.

Behind the bride and groom, there were about a dozen or twenty people standing, and it is estimated that Fan Haicheng was worried that his stupid son would make a joke, and the wedding ceremony did not allow more people to participate, which may be his relatives and descendants.

Aunt Li looked at everyone, mentioned the matchmaker's inherent crisp voice, and said, "The auspicious time has come, and the marriage ceremony of Chen Xiaomei and Fan Tao will start now." ”

"Okay." There was cheering and crackling applause from the crowd.

"Invite the bride and groom to worship heaven and earth. Worship heaven and earth, bow down, respect the sky, and make a good couple; Two bows, respect the loess, and tie the knot; Three bows, respect the heaven and the earth, the earth is long. Two bows to the high hall, one bows, respects parents, flesh and blood, love like the East China Sea; Second, bow, thank your parents, nurture grace, and grace is as heavy as a mountain; Three bows, I wish my parents a happy family and a long life. ”

Afterwards, Aunt Li asked the newlyweds to turn around and said to the crowd below: "Three bows, one bow, thank you, come here; two bows, thank relatives and friends, and go to the hall to celebrate; Three bows, thank the neighbors, and congratulate. ”

I really see that this is a kidnapped marriage. The silly boy Fan Tao was commanded by the big boy to bow, and there were a few times when he was wrong, bowing turned into a dog eating, and he almost fell on his heels, and he looked like a foreigner. Chen Xiaomei, on the other hand, asked the two women to hold their necks before bowing.

Aunt Li didn't care about this, and then she presided over the ceremony: "The following is the husband and wife worshipping each other......"

"Wait!" As soon as her words fell, there was a deafening objection from the crowd, which startled everyone and looked at the initiator of the sound.
