Chapter 108 The Daughter of a Rapist

The custom here is that pregnant women cannot see the bride, so on the day of Lu Mingyu's wedding, Shen Jiale and Zhou Min did not go to help.

Shen Jiale was curious about how Lu Mingyu's betrothal money was collected.

Liang Qiaoli said: "Their family received a total of 150 yuan this year. The woman's family gave in. All this was given. Mingcheng's wife was so angry that she went back to her parents' home."

Shen Jiale said: "The betrothal gift was 100 yuan before, and adding 150 yuan, it would be 250."

Liang Qiaoli smiled and said: "Isn't it? It doesn't sound good at all."

Lu Mingfeng's bicycle was used to pick up the bride.

When Lu Mingfeng came back, he told Shen Jiale about what happened at the wedding banquet today.

It turned out that on the day of Lu Mingyu's wedding, the bride proposed to separate the family.

Everyone understood that the bride did not want her husband's family to take advantage of them in the future.

Shen Jiale said: "The bride is too impatient. Lu Mingyu's job has not been settled yet, but she is impatient to separate the family. When Lu Mingyu starts working, she will go with him and she doesn't have to live in his hometown."

Lu Mingfeng said: "If they are not from the same family, they will not be married. The bride's personality is the same as that of the second aunt. She can only take advantage and cannot suffer any loss." Shen Jiale asked:

"Don't Lu Mingcheng and his wife have any opinions?"

"Mingcheng's wife has gone back to her parents' home and hasn't come back yet. When she comes back, I guess there will be trouble."

The two talked for a while, and Lu Mingfeng was about to leave, and he didn't ask Shen Jiale to see him off.

…

The chickens at home are still small, so Shen Jiale temporarily keeps them in the room.

Liang Qiaoli comes to visit Shen Jiale every day.

Lu Bailing hasn’t started school yet, so she walks with Shen Jiale every day.

Coming from the old house, she brought the vegetable buns made by Liang Qiaoli and met Zhao Meili on the way.

Zhao Meili said she had something to say to her alone, so she asked Lu Bailing to leave for a while.

Shen Jiale was not used to her: "Just say it directly if you have something to say."

Zhao Meili hesitated. Said: "Have you heard about Yang Zhixiong's case?"

"Yes."

Zhao Meili sighed: "Why is my luck so bad? I thought Yang Zhixiong was a good person and thought he could help me, but he turned out to be such a person." "

Didn't he get into trouble? He was just punished to clean the cowshed."

"I came late. Although I don't know what happened at the time, their faces were not looking good. Things were not as simple as they said. No one dares to believe it now."

"Then what is your purpose in coming to me?"

"I just want to find someone to talk to."

"In fact, you have a strong ability to adapt. You don't necessarily have to rely on others for help. I can understand that you want to help your parents, but the distance is so far. No matter how capable you are, you can't reach Beijing. It's better to live your own life well."

"I no longer have any hope in others. I heard that you were pregnant, and I suddenly envied you for having someone I could rely on in this strange place."

...

When they were almost home, a little girl came hurriedly over, and suddenly she tripped and fell.

Seeing that she was about to fall towards Shen Jiale, Lu Bailing quickly pulled Shen Jiale aside.

The little girl fell to the ground, her hands were scraped, and there were three pieces of hair scattered on the ground.

Shen Jiale picked up the hair and helped the little girl up with Lu Bailing.

The little girl stood up, and Shen Jiale saw the little girl's face clearly.

Zhou Dani.

A child with a tragic fate.

Shen Jiale took three vegetable buns from his hand and gave them to her: "Your nest is dirty, I'll give you three as compensation."

Zhou Dani shook her head: "I fell down by myself, you don't have to pay for it."

Shen Jiale put the vegetable bun in Zhou Dani's hand and asked: "Did your family reserve chicks?"

Zhou Dani nodded happily: "We ordered 20, Shen Zhiqing, you are really amazing. Before the New Year, my family also planted garlic sprouts and earned 8 yuan."

Shen Jiale praised: "Your garlic sprouts must be of good quality. How is your mother?"

Zhou Dani's smile disappeared, and she said worriedly: "My mother got sick after the New Year, and all the money from selling garlic sprouts was spent. However, after a while, the garlic sprouts can be harvested and sold for money."

...

In her previous life, Zhou Dani's father, Zhou Laosan, was a rapist and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

There was a wife and two young daughters in the family.

When Zhou Laosan was first imprisoned, his eldest brother Zhou Dawang still took care of his family.

Later, gossip spread and he stopped caring.

Zhou Laosan's wife even went to Zhou Dawang's house to scold him for not caring about brotherhood, and was beaten out by Zhou Dawang's wife.

The relationship between the two families became strained.

Zhou Laosan's wife lived a difficult life with her two daughters.

Without a pillar to support the family, Zhou Laosan's wife fell ill within a few years, and the burden of life was suddenly transferred to the two children.

Zhou Dani was twelve years old and Zhou Erni was ten years old. What could the two girls do? The work points they earned were not enough to feed the three of them.

In order to make a living, the sensible Zhou Dani could only sell her body to support her family.

Later, Zhou Laosan was released early because of his good performance in prison. Zhou Dani thought she could finally get rid of it.

However, after Zhou Laosan came back, he still could not change the poverty of the family.

The couple acquiesced to Zhou Dani to support the family as before.

Zhou Laosan's wife gave birth to two more children.

Zhou Dani wanted to get married and leave her family, but every time people inquired about her reputation, the marriage fell through.

At the age of 20, she went out to work. Although she still had to send money back every month, no one outside knew about her and she lived a comfortable life.

She found a partner and was about to get married, but Zhou Laosan's wife was seriously ill and needed money urgently. As a result, Zhou Dani broke up with the partner and returned to her old job.

After Zhou Laosan's wife recovered from her illness, Zhou Dani said that she would no longer care about the family affairs. She gave her parents 10,000 yuan and asked them not to contact her again.

However, hemp ropes are always picking on small details, and misfortune is always looking for the unfortunate.

Zhou Dani got sick, spent all her savings, and wanted to return to her hometown to wait for death, but her parents would not let her in.

A girl who had never done anything bad, was devoted to her family, and suffered humiliation, ended up dying without a burial place.

In her previous life, Jiang Haoran said that Zhou Dani had a bad reputation and asked her to have less contact with her, so she and Zhou Dani had only a few interactions.

Zhou Dani said that she envied her for marrying Jiang Haoran and having her own small family. She also wanted to get married, but her family couldn't leave her.

She envied Zhou Dani who lived in gossip all day long but still kept a cheerful smile.

Zhou Dani was only 14 years old at that time, still a half-grown child.

Later, when she learned of Zhou Dani's death, she felt sorry for the girl.

...

Zhou Laosan's wife was lying on the bed, and Zhou Erni brought her water and medicine.

Zhou Laosan's wife turned her face away: "It's useless to take it, it's better to die early to get rid of it."

Ten-year-old Zhou Erni wiped her tears and said: "Mom, if you don't take medicine, how can the disease be cured? Wait for Dad to come back, and life will be better."

Zhou Laosan's wife slapped Erni in the face: "Don't mention your dead father to me. If it weren't for him, would we have fallen to this point?"

The water in the bowl spilled on Erni's hand. Erni felt pain, but didn't throw the bowl away.

Zhou Dani pushed the door open and saw her sister with red eyes. She took out three vegetable buns from her arms and said with a smile: "Look what your sister brought you."

Zhou Erni excitedly took the vegetable buns: "Sister, where did you get the vegetable buns?"

Zhou Dani said: "Shen Zhiqing gave them to me."

Zhou Erni took the vegetable buns to heat them up, and Zhou Dani poured water over again.

"Mom, take the medicine. Don't worry about the money. Garlic sprouts make money. I will plant some more. When the chicks arrive, we will have eggs to eat in the future. Even if Dad is not at home, we can live a good life."

Looking at her sensible daughter, Zhou Laosan's wife felt that she was really useless and took the medicine honestly.
