"Don't worry, Yang Zhiqing. The Shugen family has already prepared the 200 yuan betrothal gift you mentioned. It will be given to you on the day of your wedding."
"The Shugen family is not bad, you won't suffer any loss after you marry into their family."
"Shu Gen likes you too. We are waiting for you to have two children in three years to continue the Shu Gen family line!"
Yang Zhaozhao raised his eyes and looked at the tree root mother in front of him. A trace of confusion flashed across his watery eyes. Until he saw the dark face behind the tree root mother, his eyes tightened, and countless scenes of being beaten, scolded, and humiliated by him flashed through his mind.
Yang Zhaozhao had angina pectoris. Only now was she sure that she was an insignificant little person in the book. She agreed to marry Wang Shugen and got the two hundred yuan she wished to send back to her hometown for her father's medical treatment.
Half a year after her marriage, she was still pregnant, and the Wang family was very dissatisfied with her for being so kind to her.
After a year, they still had no child, so Wang Shugen began to torture her in bed. Later, when he was drunk, he said that she was a hen that could not lay eggs. He beat and scolded her, leaving her body covered with bruises. She became a topic of conversation among the villagers and the educated youth after dinner.
Later, the educated youth returned to the city. Because Yang Zhaozhao did not meet the conditions for returning to the city due to marriage, the Yang family would not let her go, so she had to stay on the farm.
Yang Zhaozhao wanted to escape back, but was beaten severely by Wang Shugen. He suffered a mental breakdown and went crazy.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhaozhao closed his eyes and suppressed the sadness and resentment in his heart.
Since he knew his own ending, Yang Zhaozhao would not jump into the fire pit.
Looking at her mother Shugen, who was worried about her, and Wang Shugen, who was about to become her husband and was worse than a beast, Yang Zhaozhao said expressionlessly: "I can't do it."
"After you marry Shugen, you will be a member of our village, and everyone will take care of you..." Shugen's mother's dark face froze. "...What did you say?"
Yang Zhaozhao repeated coldly: "I can't do it. The doctor said so."
The Wang family married her to continue the family line. She didn't want to be a tool for Wang Shugen to vent his anger. She wanted to escape the miserable fate in the book. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
It is not an honorable thing to be unable to do it, and the one who cannot do it is not her, but Wang Shugen.
In order to get away with it safely, Yang Zhaozhao could only make fun of himself.
She can't be tortured and become mentally ill.
"If you are willing to marry me, I will marry you." Yang Zhaozhao looked at Wang Shugen provocatively. Her eyes fell on his clenched fists, knowing that he wanted to hit someone.
"I am the only son in my family. If you can't do it, why would I marry you?"
Wang Shugen glared at Yang Zhaozhao angrily and cursed, "You're a hen that can't lay eggs. Shame on you!"
"This... this is such a sin!" Thinking that she would soon be able to hold her eldest grandson in her arms, Shugen's mother slapped her thigh and wanted to cry.
Shugen's mother spat at Yang Zhaozhao: "Bah, it's a pity that our family is willing to give you 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, but you can't do it and still want to cheat in marriage."
"You black-hearted woman, you want our family to be extinct!"
"Don't make our land dirty. Even if you marry a fool, as long as he can do it, he is better than you." In anger, Shugen's mother waved a broom and hit him: "Get out, you unlucky thing!"
If Yang Zhaozhao hadn't run fast, he would have been swept and beaten.
Only after leaving Wang Shugen's territory did Yang Zhaozhao loosen her clenched fist. There were nail marks on the palm of her hand, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
Only today did Yang Zhaozhao realize that all those lies, such as that her father was injured and needed 200 yuan for treatment, and that she was asked to take 200 yuan back, and that it was hopeless for the educated youth to return to the city, and that she was asked to find someone to marry on the farm to avoid delaying her, were lies.
In her previous life, she knew that there was no hope of returning to the city. And for the sake of 200 yuan for medical expenses, Yang Zhaozhao agreed to be matched by Shugen's mother and married Wang Shugen, thus beginning her tragic fate.
In fact, it was her stepsister, or stepmother, who brought her daughter here. In order to prevent her from returning to the city, she deliberately plotted a conspiracy and used medical expenses to force her to get married.
Once you get married, you can't go back to the city. If you stay on the farm all your life, you won't be able to expose your stepsister's conspiracy.
This was the beginning of her tragic fate.
Thinking of the fists falling on her body and her bright future being ruined by her stepsister, Yang Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and decided to go back no matter what.
Even if I have to take the college entrance examination, I have to take it back.
She couldn't let her life end up on Farm 627.
Yang Zhaozhao returned to the educated youth center. The educated youth who were on lunch break knew where she had been and said to her, "Oh, it's Yang Zhaozhao who's back. I thought you weren't coming to the educated youth center anymore. Congratulations on marrying Wang Shugen. If you have any good things in the future, you must remember us."
"When the wedding banquet is held, let's go and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
"Two hundred yuan is a lot for a betrothal gift. They paid it all at once. They really think highly of Yang Zhaozhao."
......
The others all laughed. They were from the city and had a sense of superiority. Even if they married another educated youth, they would not marry a farmer because they felt that it was marrying down.
Yang Zhaozhao looked at Lihua who was mocking her calmly and said, "The wedding is cancelled. If you are jealous, you can ask Shugen's mother to be the matchmaker and let you marry Wang Shugen."
"Do you think I'm you, selling myself out because you're short of money?" Lihua's face changed, and she was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Yang Zhaozhao.
