Unexpectedly, five months later, Honghong came again. She said her mother had passed away, and after her two brothers finished handling their mother's funeral affairs, they discussed with their sister-in-law about finding someone to marry her off. There was only one condition: the bride price would determine everything. In the end, a man in his thirties from the neighboring village, who specialized in raising pigs and was a cripple, "won the bid." The cripple agreed to give her two brothers 500 yuan as the bride price, which was just right for the two of them, each getting 250 yuan.
Honghong has already resigned herself to her fate. After all, she's going to get married sooner or later, and it doesn't matter who she marries!
But when they "met," she was still frightened by the appearance of that old bachelor: not only did he have a limp, but his two eyes were different sizes, and his mouth revealed a mouthful of crooked teeth.
He's not as good-looking as even Piggy, his cousin.
Perhaps due to prolonged "thirst," the two lewd gazes were like knives, fixated on her chest without moving away.
This was no human; it was like a boar that hadn't been castrated.
But she didn't dare to voice her disagreement.
Two brother-in-laws took the money, wishing they could immediately settle the house with cripple. Watching cripple take out a thick stack of money in front of her, and seeing the two brother-in-laws happily take two hundred and fifty yuan each, her heart died. "Meeting" and "engagement" are happening at the same time.
The cripple agreed to give her two brothers-in-law an additional 100 yuan each, with the condition that she would get married within half a month. Her brothers-in-law quickly agreed. Three groups of people discussed and bargained in front of her.
cripple: "Add another 100, no more than that!&34;
Second brother: "Add another 50..."
At this point, she is just a lifeless commodity, unable to speak.
Back in her own little house, she tied the rope to the beam, put her neck into the noose, and just as she was about to kick over the low stool beneath her feet, she remembered me.
"Now that mom is gone, I can make my own decisions."
With that thought, her soul returned to her body, filling her with strength.
She quickly packed her change of clothes, took out the little bit of pocket money she had saved from the pillowcase, and sat at the head of the bed waiting for dawn to break. With the stars still shining, she hurried to the bus stop at the entrance of the commune.
At that moment, she felt anxious, worried that her two brothers would discover her departure and come after her. If that happened, she would have no hope left in her life.
She could not imagine what it would be like to live with that man who was lame, ugly, dirty, and had a lewd glint in his eyes.
I took the long-distance bus from Anan County to Jiangcheng, and she was worried again if I was still at that construction site? The provincial capital is so big, what if she can't find me, what should she do?
All the way anxious, all the way uneasy.
Fortunately, the construction site hasn't changed, and I'm still there.
From that day on, she officially became my woman.
At night, she indulged in my madness, her moans beneath me turning from gentle to intense.
Six months later, when her two brothers and that cripple man appeared at the construction site entrance, she seemed like Cinderella stepping out of a fairy tale, scared and helpless.
Big brother Zhou Minghui said, "Sister, come home with me. I've been looking for you for six or seven months, and finally found you."
Second brother Zhou Mingliang was more direct, "We've already spent money on the dowry for Red Flag (cripple's name). If you don't want to come back, give me and big brother 500 yuan each, and we won't mention this again. You can live however you want from now on!"
Perhaps cripple no longer exuded the innocence of a young girl, but rather the charm of a mature woman. Enraged with jealousy, he loudly shouted at the construction site entrance, "Have you been with someone else? Tell me who he is, I'll castrate him!"
A worker looked in this direction, and Honghong wished she could find a hole to hide in. She was at a loss and afraid. Her two brothers let cripple scream hysterically, completely disregarding their younger sister's feelings and reputation.
Honghong cried, feeling depressed, wronged, and helpless...
At that moment, a motorcycle quickly approached, it was a brand new Yamaha.
The motorcycle stopped next to a few people, I got off the bike, casually took off my helmet, and threw it to a worker who ran over, then walked up to cripple and slapped him twice.
The cripple in his eyes flashed with resentment, and I called two more workers over, pointing at cripple: "Beat him, leave him half alive!"
The fists came, and cripple huddled, holding his head.
The big feet came, and cripple bent into a shrimp and lay down on the ground.
...
Before I finished half a cigarette, cripple began to wail and plead for mercy: "Bro, no, please spare me, I'll leave and never come back... Bro, please, spare me, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again..."
I asked Honghong to go back to our room, and I took care of these things myself.
After being beaten up, the cripple lay on the ground, eyes lifeless and unable to get up.
I threw a wad of money at him and said, "This is to compensate you for the bride price and medical expenses. Get lost, and if I see you again, I'll break your other leg and your 'third leg'!"
Two workers also cursed at him, "We told you to leave, why are you still lying there waiting to get beaten up?"
cripple writhed on the ground like a maggot, "Bro, I can't get up!"
After dealing with the one lying on the ground, I looked disdainfully at Zhou Honghong's two brothers, "Speak up, what do you two want to do?"
Zhou Mingliang got angry, "You slept with my sister, what do you want?"
Zhou Minghui pulled his brother in and smiled, "Brother Tuhai, from now on, we are all family... What else can family do? We are really relatives now!"
After hearing this, my mood improved a lot. I took out a wad of money from my bag, without counting, and handed half to the two brothers, "Take it back!"
Looking at the thick stack of bills, Zhou Minghui and Zhou Mingliang smiled broadly. Zhou Minghui said in a more mature tone, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
"By the way, when are you bringing my sister home? We should have a wedding in the village and let people give us gifts." I looked at the two of them with disgust, furrowing my brow and said, "We'll talk about it later." Zhou Mingliang unwillingly said, "We still don't know how my sister is doing with you now, do we?"
I glanced at him and pointed to a two-story detached wooden house in the distance: "That's where we live. Don't worry, we're not at the point of begging yet."
Zhou Mingliang: "We... want to go see my sister, have a chat..."
I said: "You just saw her earlier, go back. If you're living a decent life and run out of money, just let me know."
The two brothers felt relieved as if they had taken a reassurance pill, and they helped the cripple who was still lying on the ground.
Zhou Minghui said, "Look at how domineering my brother-in-law is. Don't come looking for trouble with us in the future."
Zhou Mingliang said, "Brother-in-law, you've repaid the dowry for us, so you can't ask us for anything anymore."
cripple Being supported by two people, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.
If things had ended at this point, it would still have been happiness for Honghong, even perfect, one might say.
But later... it's too painful to look back.
