Chapter 98 Jumping into the River
“Second brother!”
Zhu Suisui waved to the people.
Seeing Zhu Suisui, Zhu Lechen ran up to him, extremely happy, "Suibao, the villagers said you were back, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to come back on your own."
After that, he became unhappy again, "How did you come back by yourself? Did you meet any bad guys on the way? You said you are really brave, what if something happened? Do you want to make your second brother sad to death..."
A lot of blah blah.
Zhu Suisui's ears were about to startle from what she heard, so she quickly interrupted the other person.
"Lan Xu and I came back together, don't worry, your sister is not that stupid. By the way, why did you come back alone and in such a hurry? Where are my parents and my brother?"
Speaking of this.
Zhu Lechen then remembered why he came back.
He said quickly, "Oh, I came back to cook the rice first, so that our grandma wouldn't be hungry. Dad, Mom and Big Brother are at Grandma's house now. Do you remember your uncle's daughter? You played together when you were little. She is one year younger than you. She is eighteen this year. Your uncle wants to find a partner for her. To be honest, the partner is thirty years old and just divorced. She is said to be from the city and eats commodity food. But if the conditions are so good, why did the previous wife get a divorce? Don't you think so? Your uncle was blinded by pig fat. The other party was willing to pay a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan, and he agreed immediately."
"How can parents be like this? They are willing to sell their daughter for a little money. In the middle of winter, someone came to their house today. Rongrong was forced to jump into the river. We just happened to pass by there when we heard you were back. We rescued her. She is unconscious now and we don't know if she is okay. Now her parents are there and they probably won't be back for a while. That family is not easy to mess with. I have to ask my uncle's family for an explanation."
That said.
Zhu Suisui just remembered things from his past life.
She and Xu Rongrong had indeed played together when they were young; after all, they were of the same age and were related.
Xu Rongrong could only get some respect in her family, so she loved to go to their house.
His uncle has always been arrogant and incompetent. Since Zhu Suisui's mother is not his biological sister but an adopted daughter, he doesn't respect her much.
Later, after the Lu family came to visit, relatives from my mother's family began to visit and become friendly with them.
If she remembered correctly.
In her previous life, Xu Rongrong jumped into the river and was rescued by others.
There were too many people present, and the Xu family naturally had to save face, so after cursing a few words, they said they would not force it anymore.
Only then did the villagers disperse.
As a result, within two days, the couple let the man into the house while they were sleeping at night and allowed him to insult their daughter.
Now you have to get married even if you don’t want to.
However, not long after she got married, Xu Rongrong was beaten to death by her husband's family.
My uncle's family came to ask for compensation and then came back happily. So what if a daughter died? They still had a son.
It was the Chinese New Year of the following year when Zhu Suisui found out about this. Lu Lanxu had some free time so she went back to her parents' home with her to celebrate the New Year. When they went to pay New Year's greetings, they didn't see Xu Rongrong. When they got home and asked about their parents, they found out that they were already dead. They didn't even have a funeral. They were just wrapped in a straw mat and buried.
My uncle's family couldn't afford to hold any banquet, they don't even have a decent grave!
Speaking of this, Zhu Suisui felt quite uncomfortable at the time.
After all, they had played together since childhood, and she didn't have many sisters. Xu Rongrong was like her own sister, and the two of them had a close relationship. But later, when she grew up, her uncle didn't let her go to the Zhu family anymore and asked her to work at home.
After that, the two had no contact.
Later I got married and moved to the old city, so there was no way we could keep in touch.
I didn’t expect that I would encounter this incident.
At this moment.
Lu Lanxu helped Grandma Zhu out.
The two of them had heard those words clearly.
Grandma Zhu said quickly, "I will cook the meal. I won't starve. You should go and have a look. You are really abusing me. How can you be such a parent? You are committing a sin."
Everyone in the village is warm-hearted and will care about anyone who encounters trouble. When Grandma Zhu was a widowed mother, she fled here with her child. The village chief took them in out of pity and even divided the land among them. Although some villagers had some conflicts, most of them helped Zhu's family.
Otherwise, how could their family have survived? Even if their son had married and had children, he would have probably starved to death long ago.
My grandmother always remembers this feeling. If anyone has any difficulties, she is willing to help. After all, she was in such a difficult time back then, but others still helped her.
Not to mention that this matter now concerns a family member. It would be hard to bear to let her watch someone lose his life.
Lu Lanxu called out "Second Brother" and said, "I'll go with you guys."
He would definitely be worried about letting Zhu Suisui go alone.
Seeing Lu Lanxu was about to leave, Zhu Suisui didn't say anything yet.
Zhu Lechen glanced at him, as if sizing him up.
Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go."
Lu Lanxu saw this look, and he thought of the warning words the other party said to him when they first met.
I want to see his performance.
The three of them rushed to Xu's house.
When we first arrived, it was crowded outside.
They are all fellow villagers, many of them come to see the excitement and also want to get involved.
Even the village chief was shocked.
Zhu Suisui and his companions then realized that it was the family that had come to propose marriage that was causing trouble. They wanted to return the hundred yuan and also ask uncle Xu and his wife to pay compensation for mental damage.
Uncle Xu and his wife cursed and complained, and were only willing to return 100 yuan. Only after the village chief arrived did the family agree to leave.
That's the end of the matter.
But the most outrageous thing is coming.
As soon as the others left, Xu Rongrong woke up.
Xu Rongrong's mother had no money, so the marriage was off. She felt that Xu Rongrong was a money loser and that she was going to die, so who could stop her?
When he saw that the person had woken up, he actually spoke directly to his own daughter.
"Go to hell! What's the point of living? You're threatening your parents. Okay, you're capable. If you die first, I'll arrange a ghost marriage for you the next time!"
These words have been spoken.
The villagers were all pointing and talking.
Xu Hui couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, how can you say such things? Rongrong is your daughter, aren't you forcing her to die?"
Hearing this.
Xu Rongrong's mother sneered at Xu Hui and said in a sinister tone, "Big sister, this is my daughter, I can do whatever I want with her. She crawled out of my belly, can't I decide whether she lives or dies? If you love her so much, then give me this hundred yuan, and I will give her to you as your daughter, and you can do whatever you want with her in the future."
Zhu Lechen in the crowd was ready to go.
Ma Dan.
It would be strange if he could be happy if someone dared to bully his mother like this.
The rest of the Zhu family naturally had gloomy faces as well.
Zhu Suisui held Zhu Lechen down and spoke loudly: "Aunt, we live in a society ruled by law now. We don't care about your tricks. Rongrong is already 18 years old. She is an adult. She has the right to choose her own life. And the ghost marriage you mentioned is illegal. Do you want to go to jail?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone looked over and realized that it was the young lady from the Zhu family who came.
Not only that, the person standing next to her is her husband, the one who is a high-ranking official? !
