The Zhan family found several women in the village and made a few quilts and mattresses for Qian Niandi as a dowry. They then sent people to the village market to buy red double happiness pillowcases, door curtains, washbasins and other small wedding gifts.
This standard is naturally incomparable to what the Zhan family prepares for marrying off their daughter or daughter-in-law, but it is also considered a normal standard for an ordinary rural family to marry off their daughter.
Qian Niandi stayed in the house, listening to the bustling noise outside the door every day. She wondered what happy event had happened in the family since her second uncle had just died.
It was not until the day of her wedding when her third aunt Wang Ling came in and asked her to change into a bright red wedding dress that she realized she had been sold out by the Zhan family.
"I won't wear it, I don't want to get married, I still want to go to school~ Third aunt, I beg you, let me go, I won't mention anything about family matters anymore, I swear, I will keep all these things in my stomach and never say them again..." Qian Niandi knelt in front of Wang Ling, grabbed the corner of her clothes and begged bitterly.
Wang Ling remained indifferent and said to Qian Niandi in a cold voice, "You are a wild girl and you are not the same as us. If I let you go, will our family still have a way to survive?
Hurry and change your clothes. If you don’t change yourself, I’ll find someone to help you. Only by leaving you in the village can our Laozhan family be safe.”
Qian Niandi looked at the face that looked down at her and spoke to her viciously, and she could no longer associate it with her third aunt who was very kind before.
Yes, everything has changed. Everyone in the Zhan family has changed. Perhaps, they are just like this.
Although Wang Ling is only in her twenties, she is already a very important member of the Zhan family's interest chain. She has outstanding business capabilities and is highly valued by Zhan Dayou and his wife.
The last time she helped Qian Jinling find a surrogate mother, she also fully demonstrated her ability to speak eloquently and make up stories.
This is a skill, and the business of Zhanjia needs people with such "skills" the most.
Qian Niandi knew she couldn't escape, so she sat on the ground in despair and uttered one last question: "How am I going to explain to my parents if you do this?"
Wang Ling was not moved at all by Qian Niandi's question. She thought, if it weren't for her elder sister-in-law and her husband doing something dirty and giving them something to hold against them, the current mess wouldn't have happened.
Therefore, she was not worried at all about Zhan Jinhua's situation, but instead was full of resentment.
She snorted coldly and said, "Even if your mother was here, she wouldn't let you do this. Even if you want to kill your whole family, she won't let you go!"
Seeing Qian Niandi sitting motionless on the ground, she stopped talking nonsense and turned around to lock the door and call for help.
Finally, with the joint efforts of Song Wenhua and Wang Ling, they hastily changed Qian Niandi, who looked as pale as death, into a bright red wedding dress.
These days, the thought of death has flashed through Qian Niandi's mind countless times, but if she dies, what will happen to her two younger brothers?
But now, her desire for death has reached its peak. She thinks that if this wedding must go on, then let it be a funeral.
After helping Qian Niandi change her clothes, the door was opened, but there was someone guarding it, and the house and yard were full of people, so she couldn't escape even if she had wings.
She also learned from everyone's chatter which family the Zhan family wanted to send her to.
She knew that man. When she came back with her parents, the man often came to Zhan's house. It seemed that Zhan valued their family very much.
The man was in his twenties, which was not considered old, but compared to Qian Niandi, he was ten years older.
On this day, the patrol work at the entrance of Zhanjiazhuang Village was still going on, with more than a dozen people deployed as usual. However, the village was really bustling.
The family that was going to marry Qian Niandi made some arrangements. From the front door to the yard and the house, it was obvious that they were having a wedding.
The villagers came to congratulate, and Zhan Heping's family was no exception.
Heping's mother took the initiative to take on the task of washing rice. This job is simple and easy to do. Although there are many people in the village and a lot of rice needs to be washed, one person is enough to wash the rice.
Someone wanted to help her wash the rice, but she waved her hand and said, "You don't need to help with such a small thing. Go wash and cut the vegetables, that's more laborious."
In this way, she successfully sent away the people who were ready to help.
After washing the rice in the short jar twice, she sprinkled the sleeping pills in it for the last time, and put the rice and water into several large water bottles that she had prepared in advance. Only then did she ask someone to carry the rice away with a shoulder pole and send it to several neighbors to cook rice.
In order to do this safely, Heping's mother did a lot of homework.
She calculated the number of people who would come to the restaurant for dinner that day, and calculated how much rice would be needed based on the normal amount of food, and how much drug would be needed to knock a person unconscious without putting the person's life in danger.
Then, according to the ratio of rice to drug, they added the appropriate amount of drugs. To ensure the dosage was more accurate, the couple and their two sons calculated it several times before finalizing it.
It was almost noon when the family took Qian Niandi over. They held the wedding ceremony in the yard and started the banquet right away.
The reason for this arrangement is that we are afraid that Qian Niandi will not be honest and something will happen if we take her there in advance.
Qian Niandi originally planned to die today, but her two younger brothers Sun Xiaohao and Qian Longfei were lying on the door frame watching her.
Sun Xiaohao has the soul of an adult, so he naturally knows what happened and seems to see Qian Niandi's determination to die.
He was just trying to show off his presence in front of Qian Nian Di, saying to her, "Sister, you look so beautiful today."
Although he resented that Qian Nian Di did not show up to see him or provide a matching test for him when he was facing death from leukemia, from their contact during this period, he could see that Qian Nian Di was somewhat different from the other members of the Zhan family.
He could see that Qian Niandi took good care of his two younger brothers, Qian Longfei.
If he let her die like this, not to mention that there would be no good show to watch, now the Zhan family blamed all the bad luck on him, thinking that he was a disaster star. He needed someone who could protect him, even if they could help a little, his life would be better.
Therefore, Sun Xiaohao felt that he could not let Qian Niandi die so easily, as she still had some value to him while she was alive.
In order to dispel Qian Niandi's thoughts of wanting to die, he pushed Qian Longfei into the door and said, "Xiao Fei, do you think my sister is very beautiful today? I heard that my sister will become a bride today. Let's go to the banquet later and have a lot of delicious food."
After all, Qian Longfei was still at the age where he could be fooled by a piece of candy. When he heard that there were many delicious foods, he clapped his hands with joy.
Qian Niandi looked at her two younger brothers who were so ignorant of the world and softened her heart again.
I don't know how long my parents will be imprisoned. If I die, what will happen to my two younger brothers? Will this family of cold-blooded people treat them well?
So, was she really qualified to die now? No, she couldn't. She had to try her best to survive, find a chance to escape, take her two brothers away, hide far away, and never return to Zhanjiazhuang again.
