After waking up, Tian Tian did not get up immediately. Her whole body ached, her muscles were sore, her stomach was empty, and she felt weak all over.
She decided to take advantage of this rare break to reminisce about her life in Houshantun over the past period.
Perhaps she was born with a life of hardship.
When a mother dies and a father remarries, the new husband dotes on his second children more than his own daughters.
Later, someone from my family came and persuaded me to go to the countryside.
One person from each family needs to go to the countryside.
She didn't have to go.
The result has come.
Who told me to have such a good father, who welcomed this woman and her child into the family?
The woman didn't even need to say anything.
To show his loyalty, the man volunteered to sign up.
In order to give that person a good reputation, he even volunteered to go to a difficult place.
Even the rural allowance was used for that woman's child's wedding.
Is true love truly invincible?
Then what about your own mother and yourself?
Was it a helpless choice made when he was down on his luck, or a life of compromise made during times of poverty?
It's often said that hunger will make you eat anything, but many people haven't heard what comes next.
Because what followed was too blunt and too harsh, truly revealing the man's dirty heart.
The proverb "Hunger will not discriminate in food" is followed by "Cold will not discriminate in clothing" and "Poverty will not discriminate in wife".
Listen to this: poverty makes one unable to choose a wife.
His own mother was the wife he couldn't choose.
At that time, he was just a poor high school graduate with no money, no power, and no connections.
Her first love, who had sworn eternal love and promised to stay with her through thick and thin, couldn't bear his poverty and chose to break up with him.
Later, under pressure from his mother, the man agreed to be arranged to go on a blind date.
Later, his first love married someone else.
He then resigned himself to his fate and married his mother.
She gave birth to herself.
She has also experienced fatherly and motherly love.
She had initially thought they were a happy family.
A strict father and a kind mother, a peaceful life.
Until her father was promoted, until that woman appeared, until her mother found out and made a huge scene.
Grandma, however, remained silent.
Perhaps she was also dissatisfied that her mother was just an illiterate country woman.
Later, when the mother suddenly died, the woman brought her children into the house.
She finally understood that perhaps, in the end, she was superfluous.
She accepted the decision to go to the countryside.
She was targeted by a scoundrel, and she didn't want to admit it, but what could she do?
Even if I had no one to rely on, what good would it do if I were thousands of miles away?
She got married before she starved to death.
I thought I could at least have a few good days, since at least this person had taken a liking to me and had taken advantage of me.
In the end, she overestimated people's hearts.
On her wedding night, she was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed.
Her husband, Yang Sanmai, the youngest son of the brigade leader, told her that this was a tradition in their Yang family: the first thing to do after a wife is to beat her up, and once she is subdued, she will know to respect her husband.
Once you beat someone into submission, they'll know how to serve others; once they're subdued, they won't dare to have affairs outside.
The next day, her mother-in-law, that old lady Yang, beat her up again, the reason being that Yang Sanmai had gotten married.
Yes, that's right, it's because Yang Sanmai got married.
This twisted woman felt that she had stolen her son's love from her.
From then on, being beaten became a daily occurrence.
If you don't know how to use a wood-fired stove, get out of here!
Can't cook? Get beaten up!
The food was overcooked, hit it!
The rice was undercooked, hit it!
If a man glances at me twice, haha, I'll beat him to a pulp!
The women in the Yang family could only eat one meal a day.
And it's always exempted for various reasons.
They ate semi-dry, semi-liquid food every day. In Grandma Yang's words, it was just enough to keep them from starving; it wasn't anything particularly valuable.
Yang Dazhuang, the captain of the brigade, simply turned a blind eye to it.
Not to mention those three beasts who have lost all humanity.
The two sisters-in-law above were also forced into marriage.
They are all children of migrant workers in the village.
My father is old and my brother is weak, so I can only be bullied.
The group talked privately about how Yang's son had a bad reputation back then and couldn't find a wife.
Old Mrs. Yang then turned her attention to these outsiders.
They had no family connections to rely on, and few men in their household.
They're easy to bully.
When they got married, they didn't give any dowry. They even asked the woman to provide a certain amount of quilts, fabric, and furniture.
Otherwise, this or that will happen.
Left with no other choice, the two families had to pay money to send their daughter over in order to survive.
Want to sue them?
The entire village was inhabited by the Yang family. They were caught and brought back before they even left the village.
Moreover, going outside requires a letter of introduction, which must be signed by Yang Dazhuang.
Helpless, I could only accept my fate.
After they married into the family, they had become pregnant, but their husbands beat them so badly that they lost their pregnancies. After that, they could no longer conceive.
As for Tian Tian herself, all I can say is thank God that she didn't get pregnant with a child she didn't love.
Thinking about what she had experienced over the past few years, tears welled up in Tian Tian's eyes.
Yang Dazhuang was arrested, giving me another chance to escape.
Those nightmarish days are finally over, right?
The policewoman, Chu Sisi, saw that this unfortunate woman had woken up and was trying to sit up.
He reached out and supported her, giving her a little help.
He said comforting words, "Don't be afraid, just tell us what's wronged you. We'll definitely get justice for you here!"
Tian Tian smiled slightly at Chu Sisi, revealing a delicate yet firm smile: "I know. I believe you."
