Chapter 16 The so-called Iraqi people
The voice was filled with incomparable anger, but it was also faintly painful and resolute. Immediately afterwards, the cries and pleas sounded one after another, and the last one even attracted a loud cry, which suddenly became a mess.
Lu Zheng was startled, only to see the scene change in front of him, in front of him was in a courtyard, a big house, with two small houses surrounded by a small courtyard, the angry shouting was Zi Yan's father, who was standing in the courtyard with a blue face at this time, holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, trembling slightly, obviously angry. There was a woman in a headscarf beside him who knelt on the ground to hide her face and cry in a low voice, and it was the naughty concubine who was in the mulberry field before who was crying loudly, kneeling in front of her father, hugging his thighs, crying and begging: "Daddy, daddy, you spare my sister!"
Zi Yan's father ignored it at all, stretched out his leg and shook her twice, but he didn't shake her off, he was immediately furious, threw away the stick in his hand, stretched out his hand to tear her away from his leg, and pushed her to the side. Fei'er was thrown and sat on the ground, crying even more. Zi Yan's father panicked, and immediately saw that his daughter was fine, and he glared at Zi Yan opposite with fierceness again, gritted his teeth and said, "You still don't get out!"
Zi Yan stood in the corner of the courtyard, although there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, the expression on her face showed a rare hint of fortitude, and her tone was calm with despair, and said, "Dad, I am your daughter, you don't even believe what I say." ”
Zi Yan's father pointed at Zi Yan, his eyes widened angrily, and he roared: "Are my eyes blind! Your belly is so big, not six months but five months, you will not tell you which beast it is." What do you want me to believe in you, how do you want me to believe you! Shameless thing, don't you have ears, I told you to get out, can't you hear? Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Hearing the three rolling words, one shouted louder than the other, tears flashed in her eyes again, but she couldn't bear it and refused to fall, but she also stood there stubbornly and didn't move again. I saw Zi Yan standing there. Holding your stomach in your hands. Her belly bulged, and she looked like she was pregnant.
Lu Zheng saw this and immediately understood, this Zi Yan was pregnant, and looking at this situation. She and the young man named Wangsheng should not be married yet. So she wasn't pregnant with a child. That is, he was pregnant with another man, but he and Wangsheng were already engaged, and doing so was extremely shameful. Zi Yan's father would be so angry.
But Zi Yan's heart was full of grievances, in the past three months, since she broke her foot that day, she has been lying at home for a few days, I don't know why her waist is getting thicker and thicker, she thought at first that she was lying down these days so she gained weight, but later found that her stomach also began to bulge, she didn't know what disease she had, and thought it was a little flatulence, and she didn't want her parents to worry, so she didn't say it.
But then the belly got bigger and bigger, and I didn't want to eat at all, I wanted to vomit when I saw what I was eating, but one day I saw the sour and astringent little wild fruit that I got from nowhere, but I was very mouthful, and I took it and ate a lot. When she saw that her sister could eat this little sour fruit so sweetly, she laughed at her like a pregnant woman. The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Zi Yan heard her sister's words, and her heart also chuckled, and she was scared, these signs of her were very similar to when her mother was pregnant with her child. Could it be that she is really pregnant?
But this thought disappeared as soon as it flashed, Zi Yan also laughed at her absurdity, she was old, she knew about men and women, and she was going to marry Wangsheng next month, she was still a virgin, how could she get pregnant? But what happened to her body, although her belly is bigger now, she can still cover it when she wears clothes, but she just looks thicker. Therefore, Zi Yan didn't care much about it, just thought that she was a little uncomfortable, maybe it would be better in a few days.
After another month like this, seeing that a few days were the days of marriage with Wangsheng, Zi Yan hid in the room all day and didn't dare to come out. In the past month, her belly has not only not disappeared, but has become bigger and bigger, and it is exactly the same as the pregnant women in the village. Zi Yan is panicked now, if she is seen with such a big belly on the day of marriage, it will be too embarrassing to think that she is pregnant, maybe how many people will laugh at her, it seems that she still has to ask the village doctor to take a look, and quickly cure the disease.
So yesterday afternoon, she had to tell her mother about it, Ziyan's mother was taken aback when she heard it, asked her daughter's condition in detail, lifted her daughter's clothes, touched her belly, and her heart became colder and colder, but her face was always silent. After Zi Yan finished speaking, she asked her daughter to go back to the room to lie down, and she trotted all the way to call her father back from the field and tell her about it. The two discussed for a long time, and in the evening, Zi Yan's father told Zi Yan not to go to bed early, and he went out for a while, and when he came back, he was followed by a person carrying a wooden box.
Zi Yan saw that her father invited the doctor in the village, and knew that this was to see her own illness, so she didn't think much about it, and obediently lay on the bed and asked Fa Fu to diagnose her pulse. Just after the doctor took her pulse, Zi Yan asked herself what kind of illness she had. The doctor didn't answer, just sneered, glanced at Zi Yan with slanted eyes, and walked straight out.
Zi Yan felt very strange, this doctor was an elder in her own village, with an extremely kind personality, and he was usually the best to speak, how could he suddenly sneer at herself, and there was contempt and disgust in her eyes. Just when he was confused, suddenly his father rushed in, slapped her twice without saying a word, stared at her with round eyes, and angrily asked her why she was so shameless and did such a thing.
Zi Yan was blinded by these two fierce slaps, and immediately cried out aggrievedly, where could she understand her father's question. Seeing this, Zi Yan's father didn't say a word, and then slapped Zi Yan again, knocking Zi Yan down on the bed.
Zi Yan cried and asked her father why she wanted to beat him, where was Zi Yan's father willing to take care of her, and she raised her hand to beat again, but was stopped by Zi Yan's mother who rushed in. Zi Yan saw her mother and suddenly felt that she had something to rely on, so she quickly got out of bed and hid behind her mother, and her father snorted a few times, scolded her mother a few times, and went out angrily.
The room left Zi Yan and her mother, and Zi Yan covered her red and swollen face. I was very aggrieved and asked my mother why. Zi Yan's mother looked at her daughter, but before she could speak, she covered her mouth and cried first. Zi Yan was inexplicable and comforted her mother. Zi Yan's mother told the matter intermittently, it turned out that the doctor gave her a pulse just now, but it was a happy pulse, Zi Yan was really pregnant, and the time was not short, I am afraid that it will be five or six months.
Zi Yan heard this, and then she understood what her father was so fierce just now. It seems to have been struck by lightning. With his legs weak, he took two steps back, and Mu Ran sat on the edge of the bed, stunned and unable to say anything. Her mother saw this. Tears kept falling like beads of broken thread. cried and scolded Zi Yan a few words. Speaking of which, no matter how good he is with Wangsheng, he shouldn't do such a thing before getting married. In this way, when it comes to the day of marriage, won't it make all the villagers laugh. No wonder his dad was angry. The bride with a big belly, on the day of marriage, the people in the village may not know how to snicker behind her back!
She kept talking, but Zi Yan was always stunned and didn't say anything. But when she reached the end of the day, she suddenly turned her head and said to her mother that she had never done anything like that with Wangsheng.
This sentence stunned Zi Yan's mother, and it took a long time to react to what her daughter said, and she immediately screamed in fright. Originally, if the child in the daughter's womb was born, it would be okay to say, but it would be just a loss of face and let the people in the village laugh at the little couple. But when Zi Yan said this, didn't she mean that the child in her womb was conceived by her and another man. In this way, it's not just a shameful thing, you must know that Zi Yan and Wang Sheng had been engaged to marry early, but now Zi Yan has a child with another man, so ......
Zi Yan's mother didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly ran out of the city to find Zi Yan's father, crying and telling the story. Zi Yan's father was also stunned, he only thought that Zi Yan was the child he was pregnant with, and felt that his child was not reserved enough, and he was just a little embarrassed, and he was thinking about whether to go to Wangsheng's house to make a big fuss and teach Wangsheng a good lesson. Unexpectedly, Zi Yan said that the child in her belly was not born in her belly, so things changed completely. In this way, wouldn't Zi Yan become an adulteress who betrays her husband and steals from the Han.
When Daddy Zi Yan thought of this, his face was hot, his whole body was cold, and he was so angry that he said two good words in a row, and suddenly fainted. When he woke up this morning, Zi Yan's father saw the whole family gathered around the bed, glanced at Zi Yan, saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was demented, and he immediately became angry, struggling to get up and ask her who the man was.
Zi Yan thought about it all night last night and couldn't think of a reason, both inexplicable and ridiculous, obviously she had never been ashamed of a man, how could she get pregnant? Thinking that if Brother Wangsheng heard about this, what would he think of herself, and would she still want herself? The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, but her mind was full of the shadow of Wangsheng, and she cried when she thought about it, and she cried all night without closing her eyes.
Facing her father's questioning, since she had never had a man, where could she say it, so she had to shake her head and deny it, saying that she had never had a man. But in front of the facts, her belly was already big, where was Ziyan's father willing to believe it, only as if she was protecting the man, so he refused to say it. At the moment, he was half angry again, snatched it and slapped Zi Yan to the ground, shouting and scolding, but Zi Yan never said why.
Zi Yan's father was so angry that he picked up the chair next to the bed and was about to smash it at Zi Yan, but was held by Zi Yan's mother, and Zi Yan quickly escaped from the door and came to the courtyard. It just so happened that a person rushed in at the gate of the courtyard, it was Wangsheng. She was overjoyed when she saw it, but as soon as Wangsheng saw Zi Yan, his eyes fell on her stomach, but his face changed greatly, and he turned around and rushed out of the courtyard gate, no matter how Zi Yan screamed, he didn't look back.
Zi Yan chased out the door, but found that there were many people gathered at the door of her house, and after a casual glance, almost the whole village came. Wangsheng shouted at the people in the village: "Zi Yan's belly is not my child, I will not marry him again." After shouting these two words, he squeezed out of the crowd and left.
When the villagers heard these two words, they were in an uproar, and they all turned their heads and ears, looking at Zi Yan's eyes all changed, Zi Yan saw that the good sisters on weekdays were full of sympathy and anxiety in their eyes, and they were about to step forward, but they were already stopped by their respective parents. Facing everyone's strange gazes, Zi Yan hissed and screamed as hard as she could: "I didn't!"
But even she herself felt that her voice was so small that she seemed to be shouting in her heart, but there was no sound coming out of her mouth. And just like that, she had exhausted all her strength.
She looked at the eyes of the people around her, and felt as if she had been pierced through her heart by a sharp sword, and couldn't help but take a step back. I don't know who in the village suddenly called out a shameless adulteress, and suddenly everyone screamed, and the voice suddenly rose, and the mountain roared into Zi Yan's ears like a tsunami.
Zi Yan's face turned pale, she trembled with anger, covered her ears and screamed and ran back to her yard in embarrassment, slamming the courtyard door as fast as she could. He turned around and ran towards his room, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his father standing there with a black face, his face was fierce like never before. (To be continued......)
