Quick Wear: To get home quickly, do the task
Chapter 36: The Age of Murder, the Wish-maker 16
Old Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. As for the rest of the Zhou family, it was not their turn to speak yet.
But Zhou Baoya took over, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Everyone, please judge for yourself. I just came to introduce her to a man who could offer a gift of 180 yuan, but she still refused. My second brother scolded her, and she broke his arm!"
"That's a bit ignorant!"
"Yeah, I don't know what I'm pretending to be! I'm not willing to pay a hundred and eighty yuan for the betrothal gift! I'm dreaming!"
"He's already in high school and he doesn't know his place! If that were my daughter, I'd break her legs."
"That's right, the Zhou family shouldn't have supported him in his studies. They spent so much money on supporting an ungrateful person!"
There were all kinds of voices in the crowd, but they all thought it was Yuan Feng's fault.
"Excuse me, aunt, how did this stool end up in my hands? It was originally sitting under my dad's butt!"
"......" Zhou Baoya didn't respond for a moment.
"My dear uncles and aunts, how did the stool my father was sitting on become the tool I used to break his arm?"
"That's because my dad picked up the stool and hit me on the head, but I grabbed it and hit it back. And I didn't hit him on the head!"
"Just because he's my dad, do I have to stand there and let him hit me? Do you know what the consequences would be if I didn't move? Such a heavy stool, plus my dad's strength from years of working, if this stool hit me on the head, would I still be able to survive? If I die, do you think my dad will be okay? Killing someone means paying with your life. Don't think that just because he's my dad, he can beat his daughter to death at will. If you don't believe me, ask the captain, if he kills me, will he be shot too? So I resisted and only broke his arm. Didn't that save his life?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
It seems to make some sense, but I always feel something is wrong!
"As for Great Uncle, I don't acknowledge what you said! They gave birth to me, yes, but as for raising me? Everyone will remember that when Zhou Xing and I were little, we went out to steal food every day.
For stealing food, some uncles in this courtyard must have beaten my sister and me, right?
You hit us, we admit it, because we sisters were wrong in the first place. But why don't we act like good children and choose to steal even if we get beaten?
Because we were so hungry! At that time, everyone in the Zhou family had sweet potatoes or pancakes to eat, except us.
We only have one bowl of porridge for the two of us. When grandma is in a good mood, there will still be a few grains of rice in the bowl. When she is in a bad mood, there will not be a single grain of rice in the bowl!
Even though we were so hungry we were seeing stars, we still had endless work to do every day. None of our cousins worked as hard as we did.
"As for school, my family paid for three years of elementary school, but my cousins paid for five. In junior high school, because we had good grades, the school rewarded us and waived all our tuition. My sister and I borrowed money for high school tuition, and we still haven't paid it back! And starting at age thirteen, every holiday I had was spent working in the fields to earn work points.
Uncle, you just said that your family will support our schooling. Do you mean you will help us pay back the money we borrowed?"
"If that's the case, I'll calculate with you how much money Xiao Xing and I have spent in the past two years! Of course, you'd better be right, otherwise what will the Zhou family provide for us?"
The crowd had quieted down by this time.
But it’s not over yet! Yuan Feng looked at Zhou Baoya again.
"And my dear sister, marriage is free now, so can't I get married if I don't want to?
Besides, if the betrothal money goes into their hands, how can I take out a cent? I don't mind giving you the money, but who will pay back the money we owe? Can I expect them to help my sister and me pay it back?
We can't count on you, so we two sisters want to work hard for two years before getting married, pay off our debts, and then consider marriage. What's wrong with that? Do we really have to marry into another family while starving? Who would respect us then?
And you only mentioned a betrothal gift of 180 yuan. Why didn't you mention that the man is ten years older than me and a widower? Why didn't you mention that if this marriage goes through, your brother-in-law will be able to join the transport team?
If I agree to this marriage, my mother and her family will get 180 yuan, and my sister-in-law's brother-in-law will get a job. But what will I get? What will my life be like after I get married? Does anyone consider this?
So I don’t want to get married! Is there a problem? "
"......" How did this girl know about joining the transport team? Zhou Baoya glanced at Old Lady Zhou, thinking that her mother must have let the secret slip.
Zhou Xing was already in tears. She thought she didn't care, had forgotten everything. But when she heard her sister talk about the hardships they had endured as children, and the plots these people had made about her sister's marriage, she couldn't help but burst into tears...
The captain looked at Old Man Zhou and asked, "Uncle, what do you think about this?"
What else can I say? Old Man Zhou is hanging up now! This eldest son is usually quite smart, why is he so confused today? Regarding the school matter, outsiders don't know what's going on, but he still doesn't know? And what's the talk of supporting him until he graduates from high school? It's because these two girls don't get close to anyone in the village, so some things haven't been spread!
But now that it's come to this, why do we think the second girl will save face for them and not speak out? This girl doesn't care about the family's dirty laundry!
"Captain, I wasn't at home when they were discussing the marriage, so I didn't know there were so many things going on. I believed everything they said. Look at what happened. The second girl has been wronged."
You're worthy of being the biggest scoundrel in the Zhou family! Even if you weren't present today and were deceived, he didn't respond to anything Yuan Feng said before, especially about repaying the debt.
But everyone was there to watch the fun, and they didn't think too much about it. They just saw that Old Man Zhou admitted his mistake.
"Let's just leave it at that. The child has been wronged! Zhou Laoer is so crazy. How could he hit the child on the head with a stool?" Although the team leader heard it, what else could he do? After all, this was someone else's family affair, so he just laughed it off. However, he still had to give a warning. He didn't want anyone to die in his team.
"As for the matter of marriage, the child must agree, you can't force it!" It's not ashamed of it. What era is it now, and they are still selling children!
"Okay, everyone, go home now. We have to go to work tomorrow!"
......
"Why did they all leave? Did the second brother's arm break in vain?" Wang Cuihua had hoped that with so many people, she could force Yuan Feng to marry him. But that's one hundred and eighty yuan. Will there be such a good thing next time?
"So what do you want? Do you want to go to the hospital to celebrate the New Year?" Yuan Feng walked towards Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua looked at the sinister look in Yuan Feng's eyes and suddenly shuddered, "I didn't think about anything. I'm going back to my room to sleep." Then she ran away.
"Coward!" Yuan Feng spat out two words, then looked at everyone in the Zhou family.
