Chapter 3 Force Her to Death
The next day.
Sihe Village.
"Have you heard that Jiang Anan from the Jiang family came out of the mountains last night with dishevelled clothes? Something must have happened to him!"
“Is this true or false?”
"How can I lie to you? I heard from the village chief's wife that Jiang Anan's body must be unclean!"
"That's too pitiful!"
"Why are you pitiful? You don't know, the village head's wife said that Jiang Anan is a seductive vixen! I think it's hard to say, she just wants to go up the mountain to seduce men!"
"She and the village chief's son got engaged last year, right? How do we deal with this?"
"What else can we do? With the temper of the village chief's wife, is she willing to marry such a slut? I think there will be trouble!"
At this time, the Jiang family.
Jiang Anan lay on the bed, rubbing her waist, secretly sighing that people should not indulge in excessive sexual activities.
Mother Jiang looked at her daughter and thought about the rumors in the village, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The family environment was not good and the work points were not much, so for the sake of her family, the old girl kept going up the mountain to catch pheasants and pick mushrooms to bring back for everyone to eat.
But we usually go down the mountain before dark.
But yesterday, he didn't come back until it was completely dark.
Later, the village head's wife Zhao Chunmei took a few people from the village to the mountain to look for her. Unexpectedly, they saw their own daughter sitting on the ground in dishevel. They accused her of having an affair, but her daughter said no and threatened to commit suicide, making a big fuss.
"Last night, you really..."
At this point, she felt that she shouldn't ask, but she didn't know what the villagers were talking about!
This made her anxious!
"My dear, don't be like this. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely support you!"
Mother Jiang sat down beside the bed, hugged her daughter, and was about to cry.
But Jiang Anan froze. She was an orphan in her previous life and had never experienced what maternal love was. Now that she was being hugged like this, she really didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, shouting was heard outside.
Jiang's mother's eldest son walked in quickly.
"Mom, go out and take a look. The village head's wife is here and says..."
Jiang Dazhuang glanced at his sister and finally lowered his voice.
"They said they wanted to cancel the engagement, and they wanted us to return all the betrothal gifts we had given them before!"
When Jiang's mother heard this, her eyes widened.
What? !
break off an engagement?
Do you want the betrothal gift back?
Before, my family couldn't afford to eat, so as an old girl, I chose to get engaged to the village chief's stupid son in exchange for a few bags of rice and flour as a betrothal gift.
With the current situation at home, we can’t even afford steamed buns made with wild vegetables, let alone pay people back for a few bags of rice and flour!
Mother Jiang looked back at her old daughter, thought for a while, and finally sighed and stood up.
Just when Jiang Anan was about to go out and have a good meeting with Zhao Chunmei, Jiang's mother said in a deep voice: "Da Zhuang, close the door and don't let Anan go out. I'm going to go out and have a good talk with the village chief's wife!"
After saying this, Jiang's mother stood up and walked outside to the dirt yard.
Zhao Chunmei immediately walked forward, and when she saw that Jiang Anan didn't come out, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just right!
"You, the Jiang family, must give an explanation for this matter. Do you know that because of Jiang An'an's incident, our family has been pointed at and can't even raise our heads!"
He yelled so loudly that he almost pointed at Jiang Mu's nose and cursed her.
If she can't deal with Jiang Anan, then she will deal with Jiang Anan's family!
Mother Jiang sighed, "This... this my daughter is innocent too!"
"Innocent as hell! Who can't see that Jiang Anan is like that? Regardless of whether she hooked up with a man or not, she is not innocent. My son has been faithful to your Jiang Anan, but you are so good. A woman can do such a thing. Our family is still well-known! Jiang Anan must never enter our house again!"
Mother Jiang clenched her fists.
I also think that the village chief’s stupid son is not worthy of my own daughter!
Still chaste? With such an ugly appearance and mental problems, who would want to be interested in her?
If my family really couldn't afford to eat back then, this marriage would never have been possible!
The village head's wife is even here to call...
"Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty? Hurry up and call Jiang Anan out. This marriage can't be held. You have to return all the betrothal gifts our family gave you before!"
As Zhao Chunmei spoke, she made a move to rush inside.
Jiang's mother quickly stopped him.
"An An is still confused now, you have to have some conscience, if this marriage can't be successful, then it can't be successful, I will just talk to you!"
Hearing this, Zhao Chunmei frowned.
"That's fine, you can return the betrothal gift to me, two bags of brown rice!"
After hearing this, Jiang's mother lowered her head and said, "We are in-laws after all. You have seen the situation of our Jiang family. We really cannot pay back the betrothal gift now... After the village distributes the grain at the end of the year, I will send it back to you immediately, okay?"
However, she didn't know that this was exactly what Zhao Chunmei was waiting for.
Zhao Chunmei snorted coldly, "Okay, you can't pay back the betrothal gift, right? I understand your Jiang family's situation. Let's put it this way, my son won't be able to marry Jiang Anan! But my brother hasn't married yet, and he doesn't mind that Jiang Anan has had this happen to him! If you marry Jiang Anan to my brother, then you don't have to pay back the betrothal gift!"
The sound was very loud, and Jiang Anan in the room could naturally hear it clearly, and a hint of confusion flashed across her eyes.
Yesterday, the village chief's wife bit the man she had hooked up with to death and wanted to drown her in a pig cage. Logically, she looks down on her. It is understandable that she came to cancel the engagement and ask for a betrothal gift today, after all, that's her personality. But why did she suddenly mention that she should marry that so-called younger brother?
They didn't even want her to marry that stupid son, so how could they be willing to let her marry his normal-minded brother?
Something is wrong.
At this moment, Zhao Chunmei's voice came from outside again -
"If you don't want to do this, you have to pay back the betrothal gift immediately. Otherwise, all your Jiang family's work points for this year will be reset to zero!"
The voice was very loud, deliberately meant for Jiang Anan to hear.
Jiang Anan heard Jiang's mother begging humbly, but Zhao Chunmei didn't give in at all.
The reset of work points means that by the end of the year, the Jiang family will not be able to get any food. Now it is the end of September and winter is coming soon. By that time, the entire Jiang family will starve to death.
Zhao Chunmei, so cruel!
Jiang Anan's face darkened. He failed to force her to death yesterday, but today he was forcing her to marry that brother. He was pressing her step by step. What was his purpose?
"Jiang Anan, are you in there? My brother doesn't dislike you, he's doing this for your own good. Hurry up and get married, otherwise, your whole family will starve because of you! Why don't you come out? You don't want to pay back the betrothal gift and you don't want to marry my brother, unless you, Jiang Anan, die!"
