Chapter 1: Marry a Fool at the Beginning
"He has some problems with his brain, but he is innocent! It's better for a man to be innocent, it's better than playing around with cats and dogs outside every day!"
"He's the only child in his family. When you marry him, he'll treat you like a young lady. Whatever you say goes!"
"It's so hard to find a good marriage like this. Don't you know how many people envy your good fortune?"
Xu Nuo sat beside the hospital bed, listening expressionlessly to Liang Xiulan, who could make the dead speak, praising the stupid son of the town garment factory director into a flower.
There's no need to ask around, everyone in the surrounding villages knows that the idiot was still wetting his kang at the age of eighteen, and was still stuffing sheep poop and eggs picked up from the ground into his mouth as black beans at the age of twenty.
Such a good marriage, why don’t you let your daughter marry him?
She really went to great lengths for the five hundred yuan gift!
"Nuo Nuo? Did you hear what Second Aunt said?" Seeing that Xu Nuo was slow to respond, Liang Xiulan's patience was almost running out.
Xu Nuo stood up, stretched his stiff waist, and rubbed his wrist: "Are you finished?"
Liang Xiulan was stunned: "That's it."
"That's good!" Xu Nuo rolled up his sleeves, bent down, picked up the broom beside the bed, and rushed towards Liang Xiulan.
Liang Xiulan was horrified and ran out quickly.
I was not careful and tripped over the threshold, falling flat on my face and landing in the yard.
She rolled over and got up from the ground, then she put her hands on her hips and started to curse: "You just rely on this old man to back you up? She won't survive these two days, you better recognize the situation! I told you to be honest from now on, and you still want to hit me with a broom? Come on, hit me and see!"
Xu Nuo curled the corners of his mouth and his eyes formed crescents. Is there such a request?
That must satisfy you!
Liang Xiulan was cursing so hard when the broomstick flew out and hit her right on the bald forehead, leaving a bump the size of an egg.
"Ouch! It hurts so much... This is a rebellion... Xu Lao Er, why don't you come and take care of your niece..."
Xu Nuo took the opportunity to slam the door, poured a cup of hot water, helped the dying old lady on the bed and fed her some water.
"Nono." Old Mrs. Lin was already showing signs of a last gasp. She held Xu Nuo's hand tightly and repeatedly reminded her, "As soon as I die, you must take that thing to Beijing to find someone! Your beastly uncle and aunt are capable of anything. I'm afraid it's too late and you won't be able to leave the house!"
Old Mrs. Lin has repeated these words over and over again in the past two days, and Xu Nuo has heard them many times.
She gently stroked the old lady's hand: "Grandma, I remember everything you said!"
Old Mrs. Lin seemed to be still worried. She took a few hard breaths and continued to ask, "That thing is related to your life's happiness. You must keep it safe and don't let the second son and his wife snatch it away."
Xu Nuo nodded.
I sighed in my heart, it has been taken away.
She came here a week ago. Through the memories of her original body and her observations over the past few days, she has a thorough understanding of the situation in this house.
Old Mrs. Lin gave birth to two sons. Her eldest son and daughter-in-law died in a flood more than ten years ago, leaving behind only three-year-old Xu Nuo, who was raised by the old lady.
In the year Xu Nuo was born, the Xu family arranged a marriage for her and still had the marriage contract. The thing that Old Lady Lin meant by "taking something" was this contract.
She asked Xu Nuo to take the contract to the Jing City Military District compound as soon as possible to find the Lu family and ask them to fulfill the marriage contract.
But the original body was weak in character. Before she could even warm up the thing in her hands, her uncle and aunt found it and came to snatch it away. During the struggle, the original body fell and hit the back of her head. She was in a coma for two days.
Two days later, when he opened his eyes again, his core had been replaced and his original body was dead.
During these two days, Xu Shan left the village overnight with the contract and boarded a train to Beijing to marry into the Lu family.
Xu Nuo was left behind and sold to the stupid son of the town's garment factory as a wife by Xu Laoer and his wife for a high price of 500 yuan.
After Mrs. Lin finished explaining all these things, she seemed to have used up her last bit of strength. She made a snoring sound in her throat and closed her eyes forever.
Xu Nuo did not leave as Mrs. Lin said after she died. She could feel the deep affection between the original owner and the old lady, so she stayed and completed the old lady's funeral.
On the evening after the funeral, she heard Xu Laoer and Liang Xiulan plotting in the house.
"Second brother, Xu Nuo has completely changed since he fell on his head a few days ago! He used to be as gentle as cotton and could be manipulated at will, but now his little mouth is like poison, and his words can choke people to death! He even raised his hands to hit people!"
"This is difficult! I have already received the money, but if she is not willing to marry me..."
"How can we leave her alone? I think we should just tie her up and let her starve for a few days, and then throw her on the bullock cart when they come to pick her up. Isn't that the end of it? Why waste time talking to her?"
"You make sense! Let's do it!"
As soon as the couple finished speaking, Xu Nuo kicked the door open with a bang, which scared Xu Laoer and his wife so much that they almost fell off the kang.
"You damn girl, do you want to scare us to death?" Liang Xiulan cursed, touching her chest.
Xu Nuo glanced at the two of them, pouted, and squeezed out two tears: "Uncle and Aunt, my grandmother has passed away. From now on, I can only rely on my uncle and aunt to live! If you let me marry, then I will marry!"
Xu Laoer was stunned. What was going on?
Change your face?
Liang Xiulan was very happy: "Oh, it's great that you can think it through. I told you that you will live a good life if you marry over there. Don't worry, if they bully you, your second uncle and I will support you!"
Xu Nuo grinned and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt!"
"What are you thanking me for? We are all family!"
Xu Nuo nodded and held out his hand to her: "Since it's a daughter's wedding, then according to the village's rules, the aunt has to give me some dowry. I'll ask you for fifty yuan, isn't that too much?"
"What?" Liang Xiulan didn't expect that she would actually ask for money. "Xu Nuo, are you crazy about money? You want another fifty! No, I don't have it!"
"When Xu Shan went to Beijing, she took away the roll of money and food coupons that my grandmother left for me. That was originally the dowry that my grandmother prepared for me. Now I ask my aunt for money, which is only natural."
Xu Laoer waved his hands impatiently: "If you don't have money, forget about this good thing. When you marry the son of the garment factory, will you still be left without food and drink?"
“That’s right!”
"My second uncle and second aunt sold me for five hundred yuan, but they wouldn't even give me fifty! It was already unfair enough for me to marry a fool, and now they are treating me like this! Isn't this pushing me to death? Fine, I'm going to hang myself tonight!"
Liang Xiulan sneered: "Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I believe you?"
Xu Nuo also smiled: "Okay, believe it or not. If I die, what will you give to the other side?"
After saying that, she looked around, as if she was choosing a location very carefully. Finally, she stared at the beam at the head of Liang Xiulan's kang: "I think this is a good place. I'll hang myself on it! Even if I die and become a ghost, I'll haunt you every day!"
Liang Xiulan was frightened by what she said.
If it were in the past, she would not believe this and would not be afraid, but Xu Nuo broke her brain, who knows if she can really do such a crazy thing?
Xu Laoer seemed to be thinking about this as well.
The couple exchanged glances, and finally Xu Laoer relented: "Then I'll give you fifty, and you can't make trouble."
"Okay, I'm a trustworthy person." Xu Nuo grinned.
Five minutes later, she walked out with fifty dollars in her hand and her head held high.
"Xu Nuo!" Liang Xiulan chased out and pointed to the kitchen, "Your uncle and I are tired after a busy day. Go cook!"
Fifty dollars! She was in so much pain!
This money can’t be wasted!
Xu Nuo turned around and smiled, pinching the package in his pocket: "Okay, I'll take good care of you and my second uncle!"
