Chapter 22: Fraudulent Marriage

On the other hand, the short mother-in-law arranged for the matchmaker to find an unmarried girl for her son. This search found Wenwen from a neighboring county. The short mother-in-law specially explained to the matchmaker, and the farther away she looked, the better. She thought about it in advance, if the new girl was someone nearby, she would definitely know that her horsemen were married, and the scam would not be perfunctory, so she would find someone far away who didn't know the details of her family.

If you want to say that this text is also a bitter fate, my father died early when I was young, and my young mother couldn't keep her widow alive and ran away with a businessman. Wenwen was raised by her sister-in-law, who was not a direct relative. Her sister-in-law was actually reluctant to raise her, and she was helpless for fear of criticism from the people around her, so she raised her until she was eighteen years old, saying that she did her best, and Wenwen had to support herself when she became an adult. Wenwen's original house has not been repaired for a long time, and she has no land to plant, so she has to make up this meal at this relative's house and worry about the next meal.

This time, the horse soldier came on a blind date instead of his brother, and Wenwen's relatives were very happy, thinking that she would not come to ask for food again after she got married, so they tried their best to match them. Wenwen himself was fed up with the life under the fence, and besides, the horse soldiers were quite satisfied with their looks and behavior. After the persuasion of the matchmaker, the horse soldiers also tried their best to behave, and Wenwen admitted it.

As soon as Wen Wen agreed, things would be easy to do. Ma Bing sent some wedding money to Wenwen's relatives, and asked to take Wenwen home to get married. More than ten years ago, the rural areas were not as well developed as they are now, and it took three or four days to walk from neighboring counties to Thrush Village. So Wenwen's relatives, who were not enthusiastic in the first place, pretended to express their desire to attend the wedding, and said that they were worried about the vegetables in the family's grain garden, and reasoned that the itinerary was inconvenient, and no one was willing to accompany Wenwen.

Wenwen was also refreshed, and followed the horsemen to Thrush Village alone.

During the few days that Ma Bing was in the neighboring county, the short mother-in-law began to do ideological work for Ma Bing's daughter-in-law and showed her the real situation. When the horseman's daughter-in-law heard this, she was furious.

The short mother-in-law said, "I don't want your man to really do anything with her!" When you come, you will change your brother immediately when you enter the cave room. ”

The horseman's daughter-in-law refused to listen, and threatened to expose their plot as soon as the woman came.

The short mother-in-law said, "Think about it, if your brother Ma Jun can't get married for the rest of his life and has no heirs, won't he want to be raised by his brother when he is old?" Are you willing to take care of Ma Jun? He can't go down to the field and plant the land, and the family affairs don't want you to do with your man? ”

The horseman's daughter-in-law did not speak.

When the mother-in-law saw that the words were in effect, she begged her to go back to her mother's house for a few days and come back when the matter was over.

As soon as Wenwen arrived at Thrush Village, the short mother-in-law immediately talked about the marriage. Although Wenwen was a little suspicious, she was not familiar with the place here, and she felt that it would be good to have something to rely on if she got married soon, so she cooperated according to the instructions of the short mother-in-law.

The wedding was held very simply, and there were only a few direct relatives who came, and the red couplet was pasted, the red lantern was hung, and the red wedding dress was worn, and then they hurriedly worshipped the church.

When I visited the church, some people expressed their worries in their hearts, saying that Wenwen's red wedding dress was too bright and strong, like pig's blood. The others didn't think it at first, but when they looked at the red wedding dress carefully, they all thought that it was indeed too bright, much redder than the couplets and lanterns, and they were afraid that it would be unlucky. My grandfather and I weren't there at the time, and we were still catching ghosts at the lotus pond. But when I saw the red wedding dress after Wenwen hanged herself, I didn't think it was so bright. The people who attended the wedding also said, "Huh? Wasn't it that I was dazzled? Last night's clothes were as red as blood, but today they seem to be much lighter? ”

When Wenwen was alive, he also felt that the color was too red, and asked the short mother-in-law to change into a lighter color wedding dress. The short mother-in-law was displeased: "Where is there anyone who prepares two wedding dresses when they get married?" Doesn't that mean marrying twice? No, no, no. Even if you have it, you can't just change it. It's unlucky. When the people heard the little woman say this, they all echoed and said forget it.

The chapel and the cave room were accompanied by horsemen wearing groom's dresses, and Wenwen didn't feel anything wrong. Wenwen was very tired all the way from the neighboring county, and with such a toss of the wedding, he was even more exhausted, and he fell asleep as soon as his head was next to the pillow.

Taking advantage of Wenwen's sleep, Ma Bing replaced his brother Ma Jun and lay down with Wenwen......
