"Don't worry, Yang Zhiqing. The Shugen family has already prepared the 200 yuan betrothal gift you mentioned and will give it to you on the wedding day."
"The Shugen family is not bad. You won't suffer any loss after marrying into their family."
"Shu Gen likes you too. We're looking forward to you having two babies and continuing the Shu Gen family line!"
Yang Zhaozhao raised his eyes and looked at Shugen Niang in front of him. A trace of confusion flashed across his watery eyes. Until he saw the dark face behind Shugen Niang, his eyes tightened, and countless scenes of him beating, scolding, and humiliating her flashed through his mind.
Yang Zhaozhao had angina pectoris, and now she was sure that she was an insignificant person in the book. She agreed to marry Wang Shugen and got the 200 yuan she wished to send back to her hometown for her father's medical treatment.
Half a month after her marriage, she was still pregnant, and the Wang family, who had been kind to her, was very dissatisfied with her.
After a few months of not having a child, 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, and her body was 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 severely beaten by Wang Shugen, causing him to suffer a mental breakdown and go crazy.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhaozhao closed his eyes and suppressed the bitterness and unwillingness in his heart.
Since he knew his own ending, Yang Zhaozhao would not jump into the fire pit.
Looking at Shugen's mother, who looked worried about her, and Wang Shugen, the beastly and soon-to-be husband, Yang Zhaozhao said expressionlessly, "I can't have children."
"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 have children. 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 described in the book. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
It is not a glorious thing to be unable to have children, and besides, it is not her who is unable to have children, but Wang Shugen.
In order to escape unscathed, Yang Zhaozhao could only make fun of himself.
She can't be tortured to the point of becoming 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 have children, why would I marry you?"
Wang Shugen glared at Yang Zhaozhao angrily and cursed, "Shame on you, you hen that can't lay eggs!"
"This... this is such a sin!" Thinking that she would soon be able to hold her eldest grandson, 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. You can't give birth and yet you still want to cheat on your marriage."
"You black-hearted woman, you want our family to be extinct!"
"Don't dirty our land! Even if you marry a fool, as long as she can give birth, she's better than you." Furious, Shugen's mother swung a broom and hit him: "Get out, you unlucky thing!"
If Yang Zhaozhao hadn't run fast, he would have been swept to the ground and beaten.
Only after they left Wang Shugen's territory did Yang Zhaozhao loosen her clenched fist. There were nail marks on her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
Only today did Yang Zhaozhao realize that all those lies, such as that Yang's father was injured and needed 200 yuan for treatment, and asked her to take 200 yuan back, and that there was no hope for the educated youth to return to the city, and asked her to find someone else on the farm to marry so as not to delay 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 Shugen's mother's matchmaking and married Wang Shugen, thus starting her tragic fate.
In fact, it was her stepsister, the daughter brought by her stepmother, who deliberately plotted to prevent her from returning to the city and forced her to get married by using medical expenses.
Once you get married, you can't go back to the city. You can stay on the farm for the rest of your life and won't be able to see through your stepsister's conspiracy.
This was the beginning of her tragic fate.
Thinking of the fists that fell on her body and that her bright future was 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 will take it again.
Her life cannot be ruined by Farm 627.
Yang Zhaozhao returned to the educated youth center. The educated youth who were taking a lunch break knew where she had been. Li Lihua, who was at odds with her, said sarcastically, "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 of money for a betrothal gift. They paid it out in one go. They really think highly of Yang Zhaozhao."
......
The others laughed. They came from the city and had a sense of superiority. Even if they married an educated youth, they would not marry a farmer because they felt it was marrying down.
Yang Zhaozhao looked at Li Lihua, who was mocking her, calmly and said, "The wedding is cancelled. If you're jealous, you can ask Shugen's mother to be the matchmaker and marry you to Wang Shugen."
"Do you think I'm you, selling myself just because I'm short of money?" Li Lihua's face changed, and she was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Yang Zhaozhao.
