Chapter 216: Force me to marry? Then I won’t live!
Lin Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, her heart ached, her breathing became extremely rapid, her eyes stared at Lin's mother with a dull look, her palms almost bleeding.
Lin Zhi heard her voice trembling a little, but when she looked at Lin's mother, there was still some unrealistic expectation in her eyes.
"Mother...are you sure you want me to accept my fate?"
"That butcher Gao is a vicious person. His first three wives all died at his hands, and his son is also an ungrateful person. If a daughter marries into a family like that, she's doomed."
"Mom, are you sure...are you sure you want me to marry him and die?!"
Mother Lin's eyes flickered, and she showed some reluctance on her face, but she finally avoided Lin Zhi's gaze, lowered her head, and said vaguely: "Zhizhi, there is nothing we can do about it."
"If we were a wealthy family, your father and I would definitely not treat you like this."
"Can……"
Mother Lin closed her eyes tightly, and her tears fell on the hem of her clothes. Her daughter was also a piece of her flesh and blood. How could she bear to push her daughter into the fire pit?
Can……
"But Zhizhi, after all, your brother is the only hope of our family. What will happen to your brother in the future if you don't get married?"
Lin's mother cried as she spoke, and even wanted to kneel down to Lin Zhi.
"Zhizhi, please, please spare your brother's life. Our whole family is counting on you. If your brother can't find a wife in the future, how will your father and I explain to the ancestors of the Lin family?"
"Zhizhi, it wasn't easy for your father and I to raise you, and now it's time for you to repay us!"
Lin's mother burst into tears, and every word she said expressed her love for her daughter.
But she happened to stand on the same side as the cold-hearted Father Lin, who refused to give his daughter a way out no matter what.
Father Lin glanced at Lin Zhi with annoyance, thinking that his daughter was extremely pretentious. She didn't have the life of a rich lady, but she had the rich lady's disease.
"That butcher Gao only did something wrong because he was drunk."
"He doesn't hit anyone during the day."
"Besides, weren't the women in front of him the ones who stopped him from drinking and argued with him while he was drinking, which led to him accidentally killing someone?"
Father Lin frowned with impatience. He and Gao the Butcher were both men, which made him subconsciously stand on the same side as Gao the Butcher who killed his three wives.
Although it is a foregone conclusion that Gao the butcher committed murder.
He would still subconsciously be in the same camp as the other party, keeping his eyes open to find fault with the victims killed by Gao the Butcher.
If you can't find it, at least make up one or two of your own.
"It's all because of the women. Men are just overwhelmed by the burden of supporting their families, so they drink to drown their sorrows."
"But they are short-sighted and don't know how to feel sorry for men. Even if they die, it's what they deserve."
Father Lin looked at Lin Zhi with disgust, and a hint of warning appeared on his face.
"Remember this: when you marry Gao the Butcher, you can't stop your man from drinking like the three short-sighted women did before."
"If he gets drunk, you should wash his clothes, pour him tea, and keep an eye on him to prevent him from getting drunk and losing consciousness at night. People are kind-hearted. If you treat him well, he will treat you well in return."
Father Lin believes that his daughter is different from others.
He raised Linzhi and made her quite sensible.
If Linzhi marries Gao the butcher in the future, she may not bring honor to Gao the butcher, but at least she will be a sensible wife who can do laundry and cooking without any problem.
But no one from the Lin family will be lost because of this.
Mother Lin felt that what Father Lin said made sense, and she immediately nodded in agreement and joined in.
"Yes, Zhizhi, your father is right!"
"Only women who don't know how to behave, who don't know how to care for men, and who only cause trouble for men all day long will suffer such a fate."
"Zhizhi, you're different from them. Your father and I raised you to be well-behaved and sensible. How could Gao the Butcher bear to hit you? He loves you so much!"
Mother Lin looked very confident, as if she was sure that as long as Lin Zhi did what she and Father Lin said, she would definitely live a life of luxury after getting married.
She will definitely be loved by her husband and have a filial son.
And their Lin family will prosper because of this.
However, Linzhi just remained silent and stared at them.
Her staring eyes made Lin's mother shudder, and she felt that her behavior today was particularly creepy.
"Zhizhi, you...why don't you speak!"
Lin's mother felt terrified and raised her hand as if to hit Lin Zhi.
Linzhi suddenly laughed.
"Mom, you just said that as long as I'm well-behaved and sensible, after I marry him, Gao the Butcher won't beat me. Instead, he'll protect me and love me. Is that right?"
Hearing this, Mother Lin smiled and put her hand down, looking at her daughter with a smile, "Zhizhi, it's great that you thought of this. Don't worry, when you marry him, that butcher Gao will definitely treat you well!"
“No one dislikes a well-behaved and sensible person.”
"No one dislikes a well-behaved and sensible child..." Lin Zhi pondered these words for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and asked a soul-searching question, "Mom, you said that only well-behaved and sensible people don't get beaten. And you also said that even though I'm so sensible, that butcher Gao couldn't bear to beat me."
"Oh, since Dad and Mom both think I'm well-behaved and sensible, then why have I been subjected to countless beatings from childhood to adulthood?"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing hideous, crisscrossing scars. Old wounds had not yet healed, and new ones had appeared.
Her expression wasn't angry, she just calmly questioned, "Where did these scars on my body come from?"
"Even my own parents would beat me to death, so why do you think that Gao the Butcher would let me go?!"
She asked this question so clearly and concisely.
It easily tore apart the last veil between her and Lin's father and mother.
Lin's father and mother's expressions suddenly changed.
Lin's father picked up the stick in his hand and was about to hit Lin Zhi. His forehead was slightly furious, and his facial features were ferocious. The way he hit his daughter with the stick was similar to the way Gao the butcher chopped his wife with a butcher knife.
"You're worse than a beast!"
"Your mother and I worked so hard to raise you!"
"I raised a disobedient and unfilial daughter like you!"
As Lin's father spoke, his eyes turned bloodshot, as if Lin Zhi's refusal to marry the murderer who killed three wives had become a heinous sin marked on her.
"Rather than leaving you here to embarrass yourself and bring shame to the Lin family's ancestors, I'd rather kill you now!"
"That's better, it will give the Lin family some peace and quiet!"
As Father Lin said this, he dragged the stick in his hand and hit Lin Zhi hard.
However, Linzhi has grown up.
She is no longer the little girl who was so obedient that she didn't even know how to fight back when being beaten.
Lin Zhi suddenly picked up the hatchet in the yard and swung it, chopping the stick in Lin's father's hand into pieces.
"I will never marry!"
Lin Zhi's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Lin's father and mother. Amidst their frightened and trembling expressions, she swung her knife and chopped off everything that could be chopped in the yard.
She yelled almost hysterically, "If you force me to marry, I will chop you all to death!"
"If you want me to die, then no one will live!"
"Don't live!"
