Zhong Ju was furious. Her family sold her to the old man next to her. After receiving the betrothal gift, they gave her a hundred yuan and a set of clothes, and asked her to follow this man to this shabby place.
The man was already 38 years old and still single. He had borrowed a lot of foreign debts and went to their place to find a wife. The condition he made was that he would not take any of the betrothal gifts back.
Haha, when her mother heard the conditions, she ran away faster than her aunt and sold her out in just a few words.
Why is my aunt so slow? Isn't it because my cousin isn't home? Otherwise, she wouldn't be the one being sold.
And her dear cousin was actually in this shabby town. Just now, she had asked her husband and learned that the Zhou family had been setting up tables in the yard of the food station in recent years. The Zhou family was the richest family in the town, and even in the county.
How could it be possible? She lived a life of paying off debts as soon as she opened her eyes, so how could her cousin live in the richest man's house? She lived a life without a clear future, so how could her cousin live a life embracing an infinite future?
The contrast between the two worlds made her not care about anything else. No man could stop her. She was determined to make trouble for her cousin. If she didn't have a good life, no one else would have a good life. If her parents' home was not too far away and she didn't have the money to go home, she could go home and do it every day. Now, there was someone to do it for her, which was not bad.
Zhong Lan's excitement was dashed by this sentence. She didn't expect that her cousin, who had always had a good relationship with her, would become strange and aggressive. She was not stupid. It seemed that her cousin had been nice to her for a purpose.
"Why are you here?"
Zhou Yu couldn't understand what they were saying. Was this the Chinese language? Why didn't she understand a single word?
Zhong Ju sneered, "Cousin, with your intelligence, how could you not guess? Come, let me introduce you." Zhong Ju pulled the old man beside her, "This is your cousin's husband. He lives at the west end of East-West Street in the town. Do you understand?"
Zhong Lan's eyes widened. This man could be her cousin's father, right? Her cousin was only 20 years old! Six years younger than her.
Zhong Ju was very happy to see that she had provoked her cousin. "How is it? A 38-year-old man called you cousin. You got the upper hand, didn't you?"
38? Mr. Wu seems to be 39? He's not that old! The man in front of me looks completely middle-aged. Some people would believe he's in his forties.
Seeing that her cousin didn't say anything, Zhong Ju said again: "Cousin, your life is better now, please lend us some money! We are being harassed by people every day because we have paid the betrothal gifts for the debts."
Zhong Lan came to her senses. Borrowing money? With her cousin's current attitude, it's not a question of whether she'll ever pay it back. If she borrows once, she'll borrow countless times in the future.
"No, I'm unemployed and currently staying at Zhou's house."
"unemployment?"
Zhong Ju sniffed, "Haha, cousin, no wonder you're unemployed, you're having a baby! How come you're not unemployed?"
Zhong Lan was angry. Her cousin's attitude and actions in front of a man were very frivolous and hateful. Although the man didn't understand, it made her, who was still a girl, feel embarrassed and annoyed.
"Cousin, please leave some room for us so that we can meet again in the future." Zhong Lan's attitude turned cold.
"Leave a way out? Who left a way out for me? This man ran to our place to find a wife, bringing 20,000 yuan with him. If you were at home, Auntie would definitely run away faster than my mother. Why did you leave home? Why didn't you take me with you when you left home? You knew that girls in our mountainous area basically end up like this. You have connections outside, so why didn't you take me with you?"
Zhong Lan finally understood why her cousin hated her. Yes, she hated her. She was filled with hatred. This was the cousin she had loved since she was a child! Just because she had rebelled against fate and she couldn't, she blamed herself?
"Why? Why should I take you with me? You're just my cousin. If I take you away, won't my aunt be furious? Even if you were my biological sister, I wouldn't take you with me. What if I take you away and my life becomes worse than your current one? Do you blame me for bringing you out?"
So, don't pin your life and your hopes on others. Didn't you think your mother wouldn't sell you out? Didn't you trust her and place your hopes on her? And now? I'm not the one you should hate.
My life, when I was in my teens, I was the master of my own craft. There were role models, so why didn't you learn? Now let me ask you why? Why didn't you learn?
If you marry badly, you blame me for leaving home. But if you marry well, will you be grateful to me for leaving home?
I tell you, I never make decisions for other people's lives. I only make decisions for my own life. Whether it's good or bad, I bear it myself. I won't blame others like you do."
This time, Zhou Yu understood that Zhong Lan had met an acquaintance and had a quarrel with him.
She stepped back and was about to call for help, but was stopped by the old man. She recognized this man; he was from the town.
The old man was helpless. His wife asked him to stop it, and he didn't want to offend the Zhou family.
Zhou Yu opened his mouth and yelled, "Help! Sister, come and help me!"
Her sister told her that if there is danger, don't try to escape by yourself, you must call for help when the other party is not paying attention. If someone rescues you, it's good. If no one rescues you, it means you are doomed.
The man was stunned by Zhou Yu's actions. It's over. Zhou Yu shouted like this. Can Zhou Xiang let him go?
When her cousin asked the man to stop Zhou Yu, Zhong Lan knew that her cousin and the man were in trouble. If she picked a fight with her, Zhou Xiang could tease her when she was in the mood. But if she provoked Zhou Yu, no, provoked anyone in the Zhou family, Zhou Xiang would not let them go easily.
"Zhong Ju, aren't you going to run away?" Zhong Lan no longer called her cousin. She didn't have such a selfish cousin.
Zhong Ju chuckled, "Why are you running away? I was just catching up with my cousin."
This cousin, no wonder she’s always been coaxed by her aunt! Too stupid.
"You dare to stop Zhou Yu, and let a man stop Zhou Yu, haha, Zhou wants to punish you, and Zhu Hang will not let you go."
Zhong Ju was a little scared. She forgot that she thought that if she asked a man to stop a woman, the woman would be scared and tremble. However, the people in the Zhou family, even the most mediocre Zhou Yu, reacted differently.
Zhou Xiang was most familiar with his second sister's voice. Although he didn't hear what she was shouting, since she was shouting at this late hour, something must have happened.
Her first reaction was to run. Shouting for people and giving orders was a waste of time. Racing against time was the best way to rescue.
Ling Ran reacted faster. When she started running, he grabbed her hand and ran to the backyard.
When I turned the corner of the river, I saw four figures standing face to face.
Under the light of the torch, standing opposite the second sister was a man, a man? Haha, what she likes to beat the most is men.
After Zhou Yu shouted for help, the man kept his eyes on the front yard. Three seconds later, two figures appeared on the slope of the cement road. Three seconds later, he was kicked down by a strong force, and then slid a long distance along the cement ground before falling on the mud ground. Thanks to the mud ground, the friction and pain on his back were reduced.
