Chapter 86: Guaguagua is broken and then established
"A bunch of psychopaths who won't do anything without profit. Absolutely!"
"I'll dig, dig, dig! I'll bury you all in the pit! Bury you all in the pit! Whoosh—"
In the melon field, Xiang Yao took a hoe, bent over and dug the soil hard, muttering to himself, feeling full of energy.
——I’m so angry!
She stopped, leaned on the handle, and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. After thinking about it again and again, she was still angry. She spat loudly and continued to dig.
"Buried, all buried!"
"This damn book, this damn world! This damn toilet! This damn lack of meat! No cell phone! No internet! Bury them all!"
I dug up a pile of peanuts and potatoes, and finally vented out most of my negative emotions.
Xiang Yao lay down in the melon field, with the emerald green branches and leaves of the peanuts spread across his face, blocking out the warm sunshine that came every day without changing.
Between the light and darkness of time, a drop of crystal water slowly rolled down from the white cheek, winding a wet trail, and silently drilled into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
I want to go home.
Ah, I want to go home.
Ahhh! I want to go home!!
After a long time, Xiang Yao got up under the cold sun and continued to work, working numbly and calmly.
You still need money, she thought.
…
The next day, Xiang Yao lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed. He yawned, his eyes hazy and unable to open.
After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly felt that something was not right.
In the past, the Xiang family's yard was very lively in the mornings. Some people would wash clothes by the well, chop wood in the yard, Xiang Lili would play chasing each other with Xiang Xiaoyi, and Zhang Juhua would keep making indirect accusations all day long.
But for some reason today, there was no sound at all in the entire Xiang family. Even if you pricked up your ears, you could only hear the birds singing on the back hill and the occasional clucking of hens in the yard.
As for any man-made sound, there wasn't even a single one.
Something was not going well, Xiang Yao drooped his eyelashes.
A moment later, she calmly got up, changed her clothes, and went out.
I pulled the door handle tied with a rope, once, it didn't open, I tried again, still didn't open.
She understood that it was locked from the outside.
Although the door is made of wood, it is still difficult to break it in within a short period of time without any tools.
Xiang Yao looked around and indeed didn't see any useful tools in the room.
Well, who would put a tool for breaking down doors where they sleep for no reason?
Sitting in front of the rickety desk in front of the window, Xiang Yao pulled open a thin curtain and looked outside through the window.
There was indeed no one in the yard, not even the little figure of Xiang Xiaoyi who played in the yard every day.
She rested her chin on her hand and thought indifferently, what is Zhang Juhua planning to do?
Is it because what happened yesterday made her too angry and too humiliated that she wants to be locked up and taught her a lesson?
Or has she still not given up on the marriage with the Zhou family and is preparing to force a deal?
hiss--
That's really interesting. It seems she should have made a bigger scene yesterday. It would be better if they were scared of her the moment they saw her.
The sky was dark. Looking into the distance, there were large patches of dark clouds slowly approaching. People would inevitably feel depressed in such weather.
Xiang Yao maintained this posture for a long time and decided not to waste time.
She lay back down on the bed, letting her body rise and fall, her mind already on the melon field.
Looking at the pile of fruits and vegetables she had harvested yesterday after her hard work, she felt a little better. She changed her hoe and continued digging.
Fortunately, the weather in the melon field remains unchanged, still sunny and breezy, which is great.
After an unknown amount of time, some noises were finally heard from the front yard.
Xiang Yao shuddered and quickly returned to reality. He quietly stood up and stood by the window, looking over.
My heart feels a little cold.
Haha, she said that Zhang Juhua would absolutely not give up her marriage with the Zhou family.
I don’t know how she managed to reach an agreement with the Zhou family. Even after such a big scene yesterday, the Zhou family still sent people today.
However, neither Zhang Qin nor Ye Fang's mother came. In addition to Zhou Fumin, who was in the lead, there were two strong men and a strange woman following him.
Not long after, footsteps were heard approaching this side. Xiang Yao quickly pulled down the curtain and stood aside, keeping quiet.
"Xiang Yao, are you awake?"
Zhou Fumin's greasy voice came from outside the window.
"I was really angry when I got home yesterday, but then I thought, since you've never had a family and don't have parents to teach you, it's normal for you to act rashly out of fear."
"Although my mother tried her best to prevent us from getting married, I still like you very much and I have been trying to persuade her."
The voice seemed to chuckle, then continued, "Luckily, I'm not the only one who has this feeling. Early this morning, your grandmother and your aunt came to my house and said that you have thought it through and agreed to marry me."
Xiang Yao cursed in his heart, thinking, this guy speaks better than he sings. If he really believed what Zhang Juhua said, why would he bring two grown men here? He must have wanted to force her.
Although she thought so in her heart, Xiang Yao did not say anything. She continued to listen calmly to the movement outside, her mind working rapidly, thinking of a feasible solution.
Relying on force is absolutely impossible at the moment. Yesterday, she was caught off guard and shocked everyone with her hatchet, but today, she had no weapons at all, and the other side had plenty of manpower and was very strong.
She had no way of dealing with this matter by force.
Gritting her teeth, Xiang Yao became anxious. Was she really forced to choose to marry him first and then find an opportunity to continue to act like she said yesterday and use crazy methods to make the Zhou family wary?
No, she didn't really want to go this far. She didn't want to marry into the Zhou family, and even less did she want to marry a disgusting man like Zhou Fumin.
Not for a day, not for an hour, not for a second!
On the other side, Zhou Fumin was still talking.
He seemed to be using all his strength to pretend to be gentle: "Yaoyao, don't worry, don't be afraid, I really like you and want to live with you. Now that you have entered my house, I will definitely treat you well. Really, if you don't want to work, don't work. I can support you. Buy whatever you want to eat. I have money..."
Xiang Yao curled his lips silently, feeling that the scene before him was extremely absurd.
Men's words are lies. She would never believe the words of a mentally twisted domestic violence man.
Well, even if she believed it, she wouldn't marry someone she didn't like.
When Xiang Yao thought of someone she didn't like, a person she liked suddenly popped up in her mind. She blinked and lowered her eyes, not knowing what her mood was at the moment.
However, this was not the time to think about the person she liked, so she quickly dispelled the tall, solid, blurry figure.
Zhou Fumin's chattering became an annoying devilish noise in his ears. Xiang Yao thought about it and felt that in such a situation of such a huge disparity in power, it would be better to win by using wisdom.
After thinking for a moment, she interrupted Zhou Fumin's "tender confession": "Comrade Zhou, it's useless for you to tell me this now. My affairs are still in the hands of my grandmother."
Zhou Fumin had become somewhat impatient at this point, but when he thought of the pretty face and slender figure of the girl in the room, he managed to coax her patiently.
When he heard Xiang Yao's words, a smug look instantly appeared on his greasy face.
"Don't worry about that. Your grandmother approves of this. If you agree, you can stay at our house today."
He was so impatient that Xiang Yao's stomach churned and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Open the door first, and I'll talk to you face to face." Xiang Yao suppressed his nausea and softened his tone.
Zhou Fumin hesitated for a moment, as if recalling the ruthless look of the man in the room holding the hatchet yesterday, and then he said, "I opened the door. Are you coming with me to our house today?"
Nowadays, some people get married in a formal manner with two tables of banquets and wearing red clothes, while others just go to the man’s house with a bag on their back and start living together.
Obviously, what Zhou Fumin meant was the latter.
Well, since the betrothal gifts had been given to the Xiang family, it seemed perfectly normal for her to just go and become a daughter-in-law in someone else's family.
After a pause, Xiang Yao said, "It's not impossible."
There is nothing in the room now. Judging from Zhang Juhua's attitude, if she doesn't agree, she will really keep her locked up.
Destroy before rebuilding. She had to get out of this door first before she could think of other solutions.
At worst, as long as she could get to where there were many people, she would find a way to make trouble. She just couldn't believe that after such a long journey, she hadn't escaped the shackles.
Zhou Fumin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go ask your grandma for the key."
Xiang Yao listened to the footsteps fading away, and the taut nerves in her heart relaxed a little. She leaned against the door, slowly adjusting her breathing, her eyes deep and quiet in the dim light.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly, but in the end no trace was left.
She thought that even if she had to get married now, she would choose someone she liked and whom her heart was moved by.
Otherwise, she would rather get her head broken and bleed than compromise!
Soon, Zhang Juhua's harsh and sharp mumbling voice gradually approached. Xiang Yao took a deep breath of the slightly cool air and stood up straight.
"This girl, I said we treated her too well before, so she became so bold that she even dared to threaten people with a hatchet."
"But Xiao Zhou, don't worry, this girl is usually very good-natured. I guess it's because her father is gone that she's a little bit... you know?"
"Yeah, I understand."
"Once she enters your house, I think your mother is very powerful. I guarantee that I can suppress her. As an elder, I won't say much. After all, once she marries into your family, she is yours. I will teach her a lesson and make her change. There is no doubt that our Xiang family will have nothing to say."
"Grandma, you're right. We will definitely live a good life, and next year you'll have your great-grandchild."
…
The two of them sang in unison, and soon the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole was heard.
Xiang Yao couldn't help but sneer. This door was usually fastened with a wooden bolt, but Zhang Juhua even used a lock carefully. She really cared about her very much, haha.
The door opened and a cold wind blew towards her. Xiang Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and saw the two men and a woman behind Zhou Fumin.
As for the Xiang family, except for Zhang Juhua, no one was present at the moment. They must have either not shown up in the house or been sent away.
When the strange woman saw Xiang Yao, a smile immediately lit up her face. She took two steps forward and said, "Oh, so this is the bride? She's so pretty! No wonder our Fumin likes her so much! Even his mother can't stop her!"
The woman's lips moved rapidly, her voice loud and clear: "I am Fumin's cousin, and I've come to pick you up today on behalf of the Zhou family!"
Xiang Yao glanced at her and curled his lips slightly, which was considered a smile.
She looked at Zhang Juhua with a half-smile on her face: "Grandma, you're really willing to do anything to get me married."
Zhang Juhua snorted coldly, "My family is doing this for your own good. You just refuse to believe it. It's already been decided, there's no reason to go back on your word. Telling anyone would make you a laughing stock."
"Be good and don't show your temper when you get to the Zhou family. Being a wife is different from being a girl. I've told you everything I need to say. Go to the Zhou family today."
She looked at Xiang Yao's clothes again and nodded: "This is neat and tidy, just right."
Xiang Yao looked around and saw the two men behind Zhou Fumin standing ready for battle. He bit his cheek and smiled, "Okay."
