Shen Hongmei's eyes were red, and she quickly shook her head.
Seeing that she was obedient, Zhao Changgui stepped forward and untied the hemp rope for her.
As soon as she was freed, Shen Hongmei shrank timidly into the kang.
Zhao Changgui frowned when he saw this: "Where are you going to hide? Why don't you go back to that room and sleep?"
"I...I won't go, I won't go." Thinking of what was about to happen, Shen Hongmei covered her head in horror and shook her head.
Zhao Changgui was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He climbed onto the kang, grabbed her ankle and dragged her towards the edge of the kang.
"Let me go, let me go." Shen Hongmei hit and kicked Zhao Changgui, but was still carried up by him.
Zhao Changgui carried Shen Hongmei to the main house and saw four children standing on the ground staring at him.
He first put Shen Hongmei on the kang, and then said to Zhao Ping'an: "Take your sister-in-law to that room for a while, and come over when I call you."
Zhao Ping'an knew what was going to happen next, so he quickly pulled his brothers and sisters to hide in the hut.
After the kids had all left the house, Zhao Changgui stood on the ground, looking at Chen Hongmei curled up on the kang, and couldn't help laughing.
While laughing, he unbuckled the belt of his cotton trousers.
Shen Hongmei was so scared that she burst into tears: "No, don't come over, I beg you."
As he spoke, he knelt on the kang and kowtowed to Zhao Changgui: "I beg you, please let me go, please let me go, I will ask my parents to give you money, I will ask them, they will definitely give it to you, I beg you."
Shen Hongmei was really scared at this time. She didn't want to sleep with this old man.
She is still so young, and her future man should be a young talent like Zhao Ping'an.
Zhao Changgui didn't care how she cried and begged. He quickly took off his cotton jacket and trousers, got on the kang, pressed Shen Hongmei under him, and began to take off her clothes.
"You should just accept your fate. Your grandfather and your father have agreed to it. They have accepted the betrothal money and gifts. Now you want to regret it? Humph, even if I am kind enough to send you back, you will become a slut. Do you think anyone will still want you?"
"Look at this little crying face, how pitiful? Don't worry, I will definitely love you in the future. After a long time, you will know that I am much better than those young boys."
"Be good, and you'll suffer less in a while. Be obedient!"
Shen Hongmei was pinned down by him and couldn't move. She had to hold the collar of her clothes tightly with both hands to prevent him from taking them off.
The two of them struggled for a long time. Zhao Changgui looked at her and saw that she was determined not to obey him. His good mood for the bridal chamber disappeared in an instant. He couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped her twice.
"You stinky bitch, you don't want to drink the toast, right? Are you tired of living?"
After saying that, he grabbed Shen Hongmei's hands with a big hand, and used the other hand to pull the buttons of her cotton jacket, and in a few seconds, he took off all her clothes.
Zhao Ping'an and his three younger brothers and sisters sat on the cold kang in the dark little room without turning on the lights.
The four of them heard the woman's begging for mercy in the main room, followed by their father's scolding, and then it seemed that the woman's mouth was covered, and all that could be heard was sobbing and struggling.
Zhao Ping'an pulled Xiao Junzi over, held him in his arms, covered his ears with his hands, and closed his eyes.
Zhao Shengli and Zhao Manfen sat on the edge of the kang in silence, staring at the dark ground in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took before Zhao Changgui’s lazy voice came from the main room: “Come and sleep.”
Zhao Ping'an moved his stiff feet and stood up holding the sleeping Xiao Junzi.
The brothers and sisters groped their way back to the main house in the dark.
The room was eerily quiet, and the sound of their footsteps seemed particularly harsh.
Zhao Ping'an took a quick glance at Shen Hongmei's position. A dark mass was huddled there, without any sound, as if the person lying there was not a person but a corpse.
That night, except for Zhao Changgui and the youngest Xiao Junzi who fell asleep, the others could not calm down for a long time.
The next morning, Zhao Changgui woke up and opened his eyes in a daze. He saw Chen Hongmei lying next to him and hadn't gotten up yet. He immediately frowned.
He reached out and pushed her hard: "What time is it? Why don't you get up and cook?"
In Zhao Changgui's opinion, cooking is a woman's job. As a newly married daughter-in-law, Chen Hongmei dares to sleep when he has to get up. She is simply a lazy woman who deserves to be struck by lightning.
At this time, Shen Hongmei's eyes were so swollen that only a slit remained, her cheeks were also swollen, and her lower body was in tearing pain.
No matter how Zhao Changgui pushed her, she was like a dead fish, lifeless.
Zhao Changgui's limited patience soon ran out. He sat up and kicked Shen Hongmei nearly half a meter away. Not satisfied yet, he punched Shen Hongmei with his fist as big as a bowl.
"Who are you pretending to be dead for? We've already slept together, what else do you want? I'm telling you, when you get to Old Zhao's house, put away your Shen family's spoiled tempers as soon as possible, or I'll beat you eight times a day!"
Shen Hongmei, who originally thought she was dead, began to cry unconsciously. Finally, she could not bear the beating anymore and curled up into a ball, begging for mercy.
Zhao Ping'an and his three siblings sat far away at the end of the kang, looking down at their feet.
Zhao Changgui stopped beating me until he was tired, and then he yelled, "Get up and cook. If you let me worry about these trivial matters again, I will skin you alive."
Shen Hongmei was frightened and endured the severe pain and discomfort in her lower body. She climbed up tremblingly and went downstairs to the outer room to cook.
Zhao Ping'an hesitated for a moment, then stood up and prepared to help her.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Changgui shot over with a sharp look.
"I...she doesn't know where to put the things, I'll tell her." Zhao Ping'an was frightened by his father's intimidation.
Zhao Changgui said impatiently: "Why do you, a man, have to meddle in the affairs of an old woman? Let Manfen go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Manfen hurried to the outer room without Zhao Changgui saying anything.
Zhao Ping'an and Zhao Shengli were the only ones left. Some were folding quilts, some were sweeping the floor. No one dared to sit idle, for fear of incurring their father's scolding.
Here, Shen Hongmei started her life after marriage, while at the Shen family, Wang Huilian has been lying on the kang and hasn't gotten up since Shen Hongmei left.
Shen Chunshu brought the meals to us.
Old Man Shen used Shen Hongmei to offset Shen Siyue, and knowing that the eldest son's wife was resentful, he let her do what she wanted.
Anyway, the remaining money has been given to the eldest son, and the couple has accepted it, so the unhappiness in their hearts will only be temporary.
If this continues in a few days, he won't allow it.
Wang Huilian lay in the house for three days, and finally waited for the day when Shen Hongmei came back.
Early in the morning, without being called, he got up, got dressed, and sat in the main room waiting.
