Qi Zhengyang's eldest brother has four sons, and none of them are willing to marry into their family when they reach marriageable age.

With both parents deceased, the family destitute, and many brothers, plus Anrong being disabled, such a family is a pitfall. What family would want to marry their daughter into such a family to suffer?

Not long after Daya and Dalong got engaged, Daya went to her maternal grandmother's house. While walking in the village, she was followed by Anrong.

Daya realized she was being followed by a man with a gloomy face and panicked.

She tried to run away, but An Rong stopped her.

An Rong looked at the terrified Daya.

"Da Ya, don't be afraid, I just want to say a few words to you."

"I...I don't know you."

“Da Ya, we were husband and wife in our past life. We lived together for over twenty years and had two children… In our past life, I was a regimental commander. After being discharged from the army, I became a deputy county magistrate in the county town…”

Hearing the other person spout such insane nonsense, Daya became even more convinced that he was mentally ill, and she became even more frightened.

Daya shoved Anrong aside and fled, screaming and shouting involuntarily.

This scene was witnessed by several gossipy women in the village.

Soon, news of An Rong harassing Da Long's fiancée spread throughout the village.

The village committee's security and safety committee members came down to investigate and verify the situation.

Daya told the truth about what happened that day.

The village committee asked Daya for her opinion on whether to arrest An Rong as a hooligan.

Daya shook her head.

"I do not know either."

Dingxiang said, "Fortunately, no serious consequences have occurred. Moreover, Anrong is a retired soldier. He was injured in the army, and he may have been unable to withstand the pressure and has some mental problems. Let's leave it at that. Making a big fuss would not be good for Daya's reputation."

Da Long: "Yeah! An Rong used to be a pretty cheerful person, but now he's become gloomy. He probably can't accept the fact that he's disabled. Oh well, we won't be coming back often in the future. For the sake of Da Ya's reputation, let's not hold it against him."

Since the parties involved no longer pursued the matter, the village committee members stopped arresting An Rong.

However, the news spread throughout the village very quickly.

From then on, many people looked at An Rong with strange eyes, especially young women and wives. They avoided him as if he were a plague.

An Rong's personality became increasingly withdrawn and gloomy, and everyone became more and more afraid of him, thinking that he must be a mentally unstable person who had suffered some kind of trauma.

With such an elder brother, it's naturally even more difficult for An Rong's younger siblings to get married.

Gradually, his younger brothers began to have opinions about An Rong. Because of his disability, he could not work as well as a normal person, and he was not well-behaved. He went to flirt with the county magistrate's daughter-in-law, which not only made him look bad but also caused trouble, making it difficult for his younger brothers to face others. They could not hold their heads up in front of outsiders, and it was even more difficult for them to find wives.

An Rong, however, retorted defiantly, "In my past life, when I was the county magistrate, you all fawned over me. Now that I'm down on my luck, none of you take me seriously..."

An Hua couldn't help but slap An Rong hard across the face.

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense again. Are you really mentally ill, or are you just pretending to be crazy? If you dare to say such crazy things again, I'll beat you to death."

Anfu also said, "Yeah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of person are you now? You even said you were a regimental commander or county magistrate in your past life. Stop embarrassing yourself by saying such things. Aren't you afraid people will laugh their heads off? It's fine if you embarrass yourself, but don't drag us down with you. If I hear you say these things again, I'll beat you up too."

An Rong: "In my past life, I really was a county magistrate. You bastards all got rich because of me..."

"You still dare to talk? You still dare to talk? Can't you remember? If you can't remember, I'll give you a good beating and see if you dare to talk nonsense again."

An Hua and An Fu, the brothers, unleashed another barrage of punches and kicks on An Rong, who begged for mercy while covering his head.

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, I'll never say it again."

But the two brothers had been holding back their resentment for a long time, and this outburst was the only way to release all the pent-up anger and bitterness they had accumulated over the years.

They gave An Rong a good beating, leaving him covered in blood, before they finally stopped.

一旦开了这个口子,后来安华和安富只要在外面受到冷遇,心里不痛快,就把安荣揍一顿,他们认为这个家之所以这么穷,之所以没有姑娘愿意嫁到这个家里来,之所以被人看不起,都是安荣这个累赘造成的。

When the villagers saw that this family was bullying the eldest brother, who was disabled and mentally ill, they looked down on them even more.

Later, Anhua planned to exchange his two younger sisters for two wives with Anfu, but no one was willing to do so.

An Hong and An Yan, the two youngest sisters, grew up in such a cold and violent family, living in constant fear. They longed to escape this family as soon as possible, especially since their second brother wanted them to be sent to a marriage exchange program. They couldn't sleep peacefully, and their sleep was filled with nightmares.

In particular, on one occasion, An Hua wanted to use An Hong to exchange for a wife with a family that also had a physical disability.

The man was deaf and mute. Because of his disability, he had been unable to find a wife. He had a younger sister. An Hua wanted to go and discuss a marriage exchange between the two families. When the girl heard that she was to be exchanged to An Rong's family, she was so frightened that she ran away to her aunt's house in the distance. That's when the matter was dropped.

An Hong and An Yan naturally didn't want to marry a disabled person. Whenever their brothers wanted to get married through a marriage exchange, they knew that the partner would either be disabled or ugly, and definitely not a good one.

Under these circumstances, neither An Hong nor An Yan wanted to become victims of their brother's arranged marriage.

Therefore, as long as a slightly normal man treats them even a little bit well, they can't wait to throw themselves into his arms.

Therefore, both An Hong and An Yan became pregnant out of wedlock and went to the men's homes without asking for a single penny of betrothal gifts.

Such families, being extremely poor and unable to afford to marry, would actively seduce girls from families with bad reputations. Sure enough, they easily won over the girls.

The girl came to our house on her own initiative, so asking for a bride price is out of the question.

An Hua and his brothers were naturally unhappy and went to the other family's house to make a scene. Eventually, the village committee came out to mediate. In the end, An Hong's in-laws gave a dowry of 20 yuan, and An Yan's in-laws gave 30 yuan.

Anyway, I can't come up with any more money, and my two younger sisters have already moved into someone else's house. Even if they don't give me a single penny, there's nothing I can do.

So whether it's twenty or thirty, it's better than having no money at all.
