Chapter 299: Cruelty
"Where did you go?" I asked subconsciously.
Chen Chen mentioned the old woman of the Chen family before, but Chen Lao stopped him angrily and did not continue. When I got off the bus, almost all of the Chen family members came out to welcome Chen Chen back. I only caught a glimpse of some relatively young women of the Chen family, and I had never seen any of the so-called old women.
It stands to reason that in such a big family, it is impossible to live without an older woman, coupled with the reactions of Chen Chen and Chen Lao, there is definitely something greasy in this!
Chen Xin stood up, walked to the edge of the bed, and picked up the rice, I thought she was going to hand it to me, and I was about to reach out to pick it up, but I didn't expect that she would pick up the chopsticks and take a big bite of the rice herself. My hands remained outstretched, and I watched in amazement as she ate the entire bowl of rice.
I really can't connect the Chen Xin in front of me with the first time I saw her, such a big bowl of rice, Chen Xin actually took less than a minute to eat, she patted her stomach with satisfaction. He even hiccuped hard. After putting down the rice bowl, Chen Xin glanced at me: "What are you doing?" ”
I reached back with some embarrassment. He scratched the back of his head, "No, it's nothing...... I thought you were going to give me ......."
"Cut ......" Chen Xin cut with disdain, "Anyway, you haven't eaten for two days, not bad for this meal, do you know how tired I am to take care of you in the past two days?" I haven't eaten yet, and you're kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs! Chen Xin said, and gave me a roll of the eyes.
When Chen Xin said this, my stomach "growled" very angrily, and I hadn't eaten for so long. I was indeed very hungry, but I was just awake and was surrounded by dreams, so I ignored it for the time being when I was in a bad mood. When Chen Xin saw me like this, she actually laughed out loud: "Do you still look like an old man?" ”
"I'm not an old man in the first place!" I retorted. "Okay, you hurry up, why do you talk like this, either you don't finish speaking, or you are panting for breath!"
Chen Xin wiped her mouth with her hand, and sat on the edge of my bed again, I subconsciously moved to the side, Chen Xin's face became solemn, "Our Chen family is more or less related by blood, aren't you curious, how do we reproduce?" ”
I was taken aback by Chen Xin's question, should this girl ask the question of reproduction as soon as she came up, I smiled awkwardly: "You Chen family, don't you go to find a woman outside?" ”
Chen Xin was disdainful: "What a noble family our Jinling Chen family is, how can we let ordinary women outside join our family?" Even if it's you, it's just the identity of my Chen family's guest qing, not to mention those wild women! ”
I was a little speechless, Chen Xin actually compared me to a woman, which is a bit weird. However, the members of the Chen family in Jinling, whether male or female, have an innate sense of pride and belonging to the Chen family, so Chen Xin will call other women wild women.
"Could it be that you are all close relatives married?" I was surprised.
Chen Xin gave me a blank look: "Are you a fool?" How is this kind of thing possible? ”
"Then you say!" I was a little impatient, "You said that women outside can't be your Chen family, and it's not the case I said, can you still have children by yourself!" ”
In a hurry, I didn't think too much about what I said, after this sentence was spoken, I was stunned, Chen Xin's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Lin Ye! You are disrespectful to the old! ”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, you say it quickly!" I urged, "If you don't say anything, I won't listen!" ”
Chen Xin pursed her lips, "Okay, I won't sell it anymore, I only said that those women can't be a member of my Jinling Chen family, but I didn't say that they can't give birth to children for the Chen family." ”
I was stunned, "So, what about the women?" Where have they gone? It's impossible to brush all of them together and die of illness before they reach old age, right? ”
Chen Xin shook his head and sneered: "It's not that he died of illness, but that he was killed......"
Chen Xin's words completely shocked me, she paused, and continued: "The Chen family in Jinling, when every man becomes an adult, he will find an outside woman to come back, and as soon as the child is born, the Chen family will kill them......
Cold sweat broke out from my forehead, it was terrifying, "You guys...... It's too cruel to do this! After I heard this, anger swelled up, as long as I was a person with a clear conscience, after hearing it, I am afraid that I will smack my tongue.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xin didn't care: "The wild woman outside, if she dies, she will die, there is no pity." I was about to refute her, but she said faintly: "It's just that I don't understand why the women of the Chen family have to face this unfair fate like those women outside......
I forcibly suppressed my anger, "The women of your Chen family are also going to be killed?" ”
A trace of loneliness flashed on Chen Xin's face, and she nodded: "Well, all the women of the Chen family, without special regulations, can't take a step out of the Jinling Chen family, do you know?" Since I was born, I have never left this area, I feel like a bird in a cage, there is no freedom, I can only learn about this world of flowers through the men of the Chen family, the newspapers and books brought back from outside......"
Surprised, I sympathized with Chen Xin, I once lamented my parentsless background, but I have at least experienced the outside world, what is my life experience compared to Chen Xin? Don't look at this villa, the appearance is very modern, but the inside of the house is full of antiques, not to mention any computer network, not even a TV, I really don't understand how Chen Xin grew so big.
I couldn't speak, Chen Xin continued: "Since childhood, the Chen family has instilled in us a thought, saying that hundreds of years ago, our ancestors also never went out, and they could all live, why can't we." ”
I smiled bitterly, can this be compared, the times are changing, and in the current world, there are more temptations, and it is even more impossible to endure loneliness.
Chen Xin lamented: "In order to hide their traces, the Chen family can't let the family members gradually increase, so the Chen family chose us women to start...... As a woman of the Chen family, it is really sad, in everyone's mind, all think that women are not as good as men, for hundreds of years, even the women of the Chen family themselves think so, so no one has ever resisted. ”
Chen Xin glanced at me: "Every time a woman of the Chen family reaches the age of forty, she will be given a pill by the Chen family and die quietly......"
"Damn!" I gritted my teeth and let out a roar and slammed my fist into the bed. I finally know why there are no old women in the Chen family, it's not that there are none, but they were given to death by the Chen family when they were young, "just so that the Chen family doesn't leak their whereabouts and don't expand the scale?!" In that case, wouldn't it be nice to have fewer children! "Memories of death
Chen Xin's face was full of bitterness: "You think like this, the family doesn't think like this, this is already an iron order for hundreds of years in the family, maybe they think that the newborn child will be a boy......"
Chen Xin stood up, her back to me, and there was an indescribable sense of loneliness in her back: "I am twenty-one years old this year, and I have nineteen years to live......"
I just wanted to comfort Chen Xin, but she said again: "I don't understand, why the Chen family wants to compare us with those wild women outside, I don't accept it, I'm not worse than Chen Chen!" I use the elements of the Chen family better than Chen Chen, but our destiny is one in the sky and the other on the ground! ”
I was immediately annoyed: "Isn't the woman outside human?" I really don't understand, where is your Jinling Chen family more noble than others! ”
Chen Xin didn't get angry at my words, but turned around and looked at me a little stunned, "You, it's the same as my father thinks...... "The female liver is talented."
"Your father?" Chen Lao mentioned Chen Chen and Chen Xin's father before, this person seems to be very good, Chen Lao regards him as the most satisfactory successor, but he died very early.
Chen Xin came back to her senses, "That's right, you are not a member of the Chen family, so it's not strange to have such thoughts." But my father is different, he surpassed my grandfather in strength fifteen years ago, and my grandfather has always been proud of his father, but he died when he was thirteen years old......"
