Chapter 120: Forced Marriage
There were villagers standing in a courtyard in the courtyard of Xiaotian, and the village chief was busy beckoning everyone to find a place to sit by themselves, and those who couldn't find a place to sit stood together and exchanged ears.
Momiji chuckled in her heart, silently found a place in the outermost corner of the crowd, and quietly watched everything in the yard.
Behind the old village chief, Zhu Yue was also dark and green, and it seemed that she had not slept all night last night, but although her face was a little haggard, there was a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and when her eyes swept to the red leaves, she also sent a provocative smile.
Can't be wrong, the village chief doesn't need to ask what the village chief is looking for you to do today, and he already knows it. Suddenly like falling into an ice cave, she looked around for Xiaotian's figure, but she didn't see him. What about Xiaotian? What would you do if you were screaming? What are you going to do? At that moment, Hongye even wanted to leave so that he wouldn't have to face what was about to happen, so many people were watching, if the village chief suddenly asked Xiaotian......
She closed her eyes and held back her tears, and when she opened them again after a long time, Xiaotian had already appeared. He looked at everyone with a stunned and uncertain expression, not knowing what the village chief wanted.
I saw that the old village chief knocked on the cigarette pot in his hand, and the sound of the copper cigarette pot knocking on the iron pillar was particularly crisp, and everyone quieted down all of a sudden, looking at the old village chief expectantly.
"I came to you today to tell the villagers about a great happy event." The old village chief smiled and reminded Momiji of the orange-red cosmos he had cultivated.
As soon as the surrounding villagers heard that it was a happy event, they opened their mouths and asked, "Old village chief, what is the happy event?" It's not that you've found an old woman again, you want an old husband and a young wife to marry. ”
Everyone laughed for a while, and the old village chief scolded that person with a smile, "You rabbit cub, make fun of your Grandpa Yang, and turn around to find a fierce woman with horizontal eyebrows and eyes for your baby, and call you skin." ”
"What the hell is a happy event, Lao Yang, don't sell it, hurry up, the villagers are so prepared." Another old man with a straw hat who was about the same age as the village chief asked, and immediately got a response from the people around him, and they all asked one after another.
Xing Xiaotian was infected by everyone's enthusiasm, and asked with a happy and expectant face, "What is the happy event?" If I want to use this courtyard, I can vacate it and live in the village, anyway, it's not cold now, and besides, I should leave. ”
The old village chief, who was originally smiling, turned pale when he heard this, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, kid, why did you come to the villagers today?" Still leaving, what's the matter, do you still want to get married? Where is Zhu Yue not worthy of you? ”
Xing Xiaotian's mind went blank, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and it took a long time before he asked in a daze, "Daddy Yang, what do you mean by this?" What is the marriage? What does it have to do with Zhu Yue? His voice trembled later, and he couldn't believe what he had heard.
The old village chief took the silver peony hairpin from Zhu Yue's hand, and was a little angry, "You have made a private agreement with Zhu Yue for life, and you still want to rely on it!" Don't you know my family's Zhu Yue's intentions? ”
"Marriage?" Xing Xiaotian's face changed, "Where did the village chief start with this?" This hairpin is just a thank you gift for my meal and hospitality to thank Zhu Yue at the beginning, and I also said it at the time, how can it be related to private life? ”
Without waiting for the village chief to reprimand, Zhu Yue's eyes were already red in anger, and he stood up in one step, biting his lip tightly to resist the urge to cry, "Thank you for the meal?" Did I ask Brother Xing at the beginning, did I ask you if this is the money for food? You said no, it was a gift to me, and later you told me so many stories of lovers outside the mountains who made a private life. I asked you at the time, as long as you give hairpins, rings, bracelets, jade pendants, sachets and other things, must you be privately appointed for life? How do you answer? You said! ”
Beads of sweat oozed from Xing Xiaotian's forehead, and his lips trembled for a long time but he couldn't say a word.
Yang Zhuyue's tears rolled down, "You said that no matter how careless it is, as long as you give one of these things, it is in the expression, if the other party is also satisfied, he will accept it, if he refuses, it means that people don't like it, don't you say so?" ”
"That's what I said, but ...... But ......" Xing Xiaotian finally said after a long time, "But I'm different, Zhu Yue you know, I've always regarded you as a sister, you...... Don't make this kind of joke, okay, if it's my hairpin that misunderstands you, I apologize to you, you never told me about it, how do I know you think so, I ......"
Yang Zhuyue grabbed the hairpin tightly and grabbed it in his hand, shook his head and cried, "As a sister? Do you dare to say that when I was the only one with you at the beginning, you treated me as a sister for more than a month of getting along day and night? Do you dare to say that you didn't like me before you met Momiji?"
Xing Xiaotian understood this matter very well in his heart, and he did not hesitate to answer, he raised three fingers and pointed at Qingtian and knelt down and swore an oath, "I, Xing Xiaotian, have always had only brother and sister affection for Yang Zhuyue, and I have not been involved in half of the children's personal affairs, whether it is before or after I met Ye Zi, I just regard Zhu Yue as a sister, if there is half a sentence of deception that makes me die on the cliff, I must not be a whole corpse!" ”
Seeing that he swore so simply and unequivocally, everyone looked at each other and quieted down, and a happy event that was promised became a farce, and this thing was ...... Zhu Yue, this girl, said every day that she was engaged to this kid surnamed Xing, and the noisy three-year-old children in the village knew about it, who knew that there would be such a trouble, and it would be like this.
If you stay any longer, it will become a joke, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, not to mention that it is still a lifelong affair of the girl's family, everyone is muttering in their hearts how to leave skillfully without hurting people's face, and they saw Yang Zhuyue suddenly put the sharp hairpin against his throat, tears like a spring, and said to Xing Xiaotian, "Zhu Yue was divorced by the eldest brother of the penalty, what face will there be in the inkstone in the future, the inkstone water is passed down from the old generation, and the women who have been divorced are all women who do not abide by women's morals, and the eldest brother of the punishment ......" She looked at Xing Xiaotian resolutely, the tip of the hairpin had pierced the skin of the neck, A string of blood beads oozed out, "Are you really going to get out of the marriage today?" If you really want to withdraw from the marriage, Zhu Yue will die in front of you immediately. ”
Xing Xiaotian looked at her in embarrassment, trying to reason with her, but it didn't make sense anyway, the old village chief blew his beard angrily and glared, angrily scolded him for being a bastard, and even said that if Zhu Yue died, he would also follow the sheep rhinoceros Huangquan to find his daughter.
This naked threat to human life was really useful in Yanhuashui, and the villagers persuaded them one after another.
"What's wrong with Zhu Yue, anyway, you don't have a marriage contract."
"That's right, Zhu Yue and the old village chief are kind to you, everyone in our village knows that you are engaged, so you can simply marry Zhu Yue."
Xing Xiaotian looked at the red leaves who were crying on the periphery of the crowd, and then looked at Zhu Yue, who was holding a silver hairpin in front of him, and finally nodded to the red leaves, and then looked at Zhu Yue and spit out two words.
"I'll marry!"
