There is also a backyard with a simple kitchen, toilet, shower room, and firewood room.

In addition to these, more than ten meters away from the house, there is a low small earthen house, where there are cows raised by men, one large and one small.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, it was dark, and it was pitch black all around.

The man took out the key and unlocked the door, and the wooden door squeaked and opened.

He walked to the left of the door, felt a rope on the wall, pulled it, and soon, a light bulb at the top of the hall lit up, it was the kind of incandescent lamp, only 15W, and the yellow light emitted was very dim.

The village was only connected to electricity the year before last, and everyone in the family is very poor, so in order to save electricity, they use light bulbs with the lowest wattage.

As soon as he put the woman down, the man closed the door and locked it, as if he was afraid that the woman would run away. Then he picked up an iron chain that he had prepared a long time ago, one end of the chain was locked to the roof, and the other end was locked to the woman's feet, the chain was not heavy or thick, but it was very long, dozens of meters long, so that the woman he bought could move freely in the house, but could not escape from the house.

The man tugged at the chain, and when he was sure it was locked, he sat the woman in his arms at a wooden table in the hall. The table was boxy and looked a little old, but there was not a trace of dust.

He took out a pencil and a small unfinished notebook from the drawer of the desk.

After opening the notebook, he sat at the table, what was written in the notebook, and after writing, he smiled and handed it to the woman as if offering a treasure.

The woman stared blankly at the man's writing, and she blinked, as if she was a little surprised that the man could write such a dignified handwriting.

Two sentences are written on it:

- My name is Chen Jiahang, and you will be my daughter-in-law in the future. You can't get out of here unless I don't want you anymore.

Second sentence:

- I'll make you something to eat, you wait here, you can pour water and drink when you're thirsty.

After writing, the man went to the kitchen in the backyard.

The kitchen is not big, only a dozen square meters, and there are some firewood piled up in the corner.

He took out the bowl and chopsticks from a small wooden cabinet, opened a jar again, and there was still some rice in it, he reached out and grabbed two handfuls of rice, put them in a basin and washed them, poured them into a casserole, and began to boil porridge.

There was nothing left at home, only some dried bamboo shoots that he had soaked this morning, and the only two eggs left.

He boiled all the eggs in the stove and the bamboo shoots were simply scrambled.

Half an hour later, he came to the hall with the food he had prepared and placed it on the table in the hall.

The woman he bought was unexpectedly quiet, unlike what others said, the daughter-in-law he bought would make a lot of noise, or even commit suicide or something, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and at this time she was still holding his pencil and notebook, and wrote something on it.

Can she also write?

He was very curious, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he quietly stood beside her.

Under the light, he could see what she was drawing in her notebook, and in a moment a portrait of a child came out.

It is a very small-looking child, who is very beautiful and cute.

It turned out that she could draw, and she was much better than him.

Chen Jiahang lay on the table and smiled at the woman. Looks silly, like a big child.

And the more he looked at it, the more interested he was in this daughter-in-law who didn't speak.

He frowned, pretended to be angry, snatched the notebook and pen, and then brushed the notebook and wrote a line of words:

"What's your name? Do you know how to write? No, I can teach you. ”
