Chapter 756 The Unlucky Sister Who Was Married in Exchange (1)

As soon as Shi Chu opened his eyes, he heard a scolding female voice shouting in his ear: "Why are you so ignorant? Your brother is almost twenty years old and has not yet married. Now he finally finds a girl who likes him and wants you to marry into her family. You don't agree. Do you want your brother to be a bachelor for life..."

The woman in front of him, who looked to be in her forties or fifties and had a wrinkled face, stared at Shi Chu fiercely, as if she was going to eat her if she didn't agree.

"I don't care whether you agree or not, you are going to marry the boy from the Liang family anyway!" When Liu's mother saw that Liu Shichu didn't say a word, she thought she was protesting with silence, so she made a prompt decision without caring about her daughter's wishes at all.

The woman went out after she finished cursing. Liu Shichu observed the room where she was lying for a while. As expected, it was a dark and narrow room. The "bed" under her was made of several wooden boxes, which could barely accommodate the thin woman who was the original owner. The original owner was also covered with a thin and torn quilt. The original color could not be seen anymore, and the patches on it almost covered the quilt.

Liu Shichu was not surprised at all. How could a family that could exchange its daughter for its son not be poor?

The original owner was fifteen years old this year. She was the youngest daughter of Liu Laoliu's family in Liujia Village. She had an older brother and an older sister. Her older sister got married a few years ago, but her older brother had not been able to marry because of the family's poverty.

After several years, he finally found a girl who liked him, but her only requirement for the marriage was that the original owner should marry her brother who was too stupid to take care of himself, which is commonly known as a marriage exchange.

The original owner's parents agreed immediately. After all, their eldest son was almost twenty years old and still not married, which really made the family lose face. Men of the same age as him in the village were already fathers. Therefore, not only were the original owner's parents anxious for him to get married, but Liu Shiyong himself also wanted to.

As for the original girl, no one would care about her own wishes. After all, Datou was a money-loser, and it was already very good to be able to exchange a wife for her brother.

After the original owner learned the news, she was devastated and mustered up the courage to rebel against her parents, but how could she resist the three parents and brothers who oppressed her? She was also knocked unconscious by Liu Shiyong, and the one who woke up was Shichu with a changed soul.

When the original owner's father, Liu Laoliu, was young, he went to do labor to repair a river channel and rolled down a slope and injured his body. One of his legs was broken and he walked with a limp. His internal organs must have been injured as well. He coughed frequently. Later, his waist gradually could not be straightened and he became a hunchback. Whenever it was rainy, he would feel pain all over his body and could not do heavy labor at all. He had to spend money on medicine to treat his illness from time to time, so his family became so poor.

Liu Shiyong came in from outside at this time and kicked the broken door of Liu Shichu's room, making it bang. He said to his sister on the bed with a warning look on his face: "You'd better be sensible and marry your sister-in-law's eldest brother, otherwise I won't let you go! Don't try to escape or resist, even if I break your legs, I will drag you to your sister-in-law's house!"

Liu Shichu pretended to tremble, and whispered in panic and fear: "I dare not, I dare not, I am willing to marry..."

"Hmph! You'd better be sensible, otherwise my fist will not be vegetarian!" Liu Shiyong shook his fist and threatened.

Seeing that Liu Shichu had finally accepted his fate, he gave him a warning and left impatiently.

Liu Shichu sneered in his heart. Marrying a fool in exchange for marriage? Don’t even think about it!

In her previous life, the original owner obediently accepted her fate and married her sister-in-law's stupid brother. She was bullied, beaten, and insulted by her family. She was tortured to death just one year after her marriage.

Perhaps because they were afraid that the night would be too long and things would become more complicated, the Liu family and the Chen family - that is, the sister-in-law's family - quickly decided on the wedding date. At that time, the two pairs of brothers and sisters would get married on the same day, and each side would have a bride, which would be the best of both worlds for the family's incense.

So Liu Shichu's wedding was scheduled for two days later. Liu's mother probably didn't ask her to work during those two days because she was going to marry a fool in exchange for her brother's marriage. This finally gave Liu Shichu some free time.

She quickly swallowed the pills she had collected before to repair her frail body, and then she raced against time to cultivate her internal strength. In this world, internal strength can be cultivated, so naturally she had to make herself have the ability to protect and resist as soon as possible. So she forgot to eat and sleep and seized the time to cultivate.

Soon the day of the "wedding" arrived. Because the family was poor, Liu Laoliu and his mother could not afford to invite guests, so they just asked Liu Shiyong to change into clothes with the least patches and went to the Chen family to get married. By the way, they also sent Liu Shichu, the "bride" who was about to marry the fool of the Chen family, to the Chen family.

Of course, in order to prevent Liu Shichu from escaping halfway, Liu's mother went along.

The Chen family's financial situation is similar to that of the Liu family, otherwise they would not have used the method of bride exchange to find a wife for their stupid son. Therefore, all the rules and etiquette of marriage were deleted. Anyway, as long as the two pairs of "new couples" successfully got married, it would be fine.

"When you get to the Chen family, serve your parents-in-law well, and don't think about running away! Although the son of the Chen family is a little stupid, he doesn't hit people. You just need to give birth to a son and raise him well, and you will have a place to stay in the future... Don't say that your parents are cruel, this is your fate, who made you a girl in our Liu family..." Liu's mother chattered incessantly to Liu Shichu, brainwashing her desperately, hoping that she would accept her fate and marry the fool of the Chen family, and not do anything to cause trouble for her own family.

Liu Shichu lowered his head and said nothing, turning a deaf ear to his mother's words. It was impossible for him to accept his fate.

The Chen family's home was in the next village. After walking for more than an hour, they finally arrived. The Chen family was also poor. Even though today was the day of their children's wedding, there was no sign of joy. Only a few relatives were talking and waiting in the main room. When they saw someone from the Liu family coming, they all came out.

"Isn't this woman too thin? Her arms are as thin as dead branches. Can she give birth to a child for our nephew?"

"Is she thirteen years old? She looks like a child! Never mind. She is still young. She can have children if you raise her."

…

Liu Shichu was being stared at by several pairs of eyes that were like searchlights. She became more and more angry and wanted to kick out those people who treated her like a commodity.

Liu's mother and Liu Shiyong locked Liu Shichu in a room and went to discuss the marriage with the Chen family.

After Liu Shichu was locked up, she looked around the room and found that there was a person lying on the bed in the room. The person was grinning at her with drooling mouth. Even though she was as brave as she was, she was frightened when she saw this weird situation.
