Chapter 221: Selling out my own sister and nephew
It takes time for the feudal dregs of thousands of years to gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were drastic reforms.
Many defeudalization efforts started from big cities and slowly entered the countryside.
Like Lin Wanxia before she traveled through the book, she had already reached the stage where it didn't matter where she was buried.
There is a joke on the short video: When I die, you can throw me on the street, anyway, I'm not the one to be afraid of.
But this is not the new century, this is the still conservative countryside in 1983.
Even though the country vigorously promotes family planning, ordinary rural people still go to Dongduo Tibet just to fight for a son.
The bachelor's second uncle dreams of having his own home, having his own son to take care of him in his old age, and wearing mourning clothes and breaking fire pots.
Lin Wanxia disagreed, but she could understand his thoughts, and she didn't mind his previous favoritism.
Yes, the second uncle also favors boys over girls.
When the original owner was young, he took care of her by giving her sympathy and care to the best of his ability. He
was better to Lin Youzhi.
This is also the reason why Lin Wanxia has not taken special care of the second uncle after she traveled through the book. There must be something hateful about pitiful people.
Now she wants to help the second uncle, partly because she wants to repay the kindness of her childhood, and partly because she wants to ruin Lin Youzhi.
Lin Wanxia used to act on the principle of "I will not offend others if they don't offend me.
" But Zhu Qiaoyun's family repeatedly told her with practical actions that some bastards just like to be bastards, and they can't be beaten.
But they can be killed.
This time Lin Wanxia wanted to take the initiative, but she really didn't have much time.
In my spare time, I can find some trouble for Lin Youzhi.
Lin Wanxia smiled: "Uncle, you know Lin Youzhi's character better than me. What do you think is the probability that he will wear mourning clothes and smash a fire basin for you after you die? To be honest, you can't count on him as much as on me." Uncle was
certainly not convinced by Lin Wanxia's words, and shook his head, "How can a girl wear mourning clothes and smash a fire basin?"
"Yes." Lin Wanxia said firmly, "The country is now vigorously promoting family planning. It's okay in rural areas. If the first child is a girl, you can have a second child. But in cities, a family can only have one child. Uncle, if there is only one girl in the family, will her parents throw her on the street when they get old?"
Uncle: "..."
"It's the same if the nephew also breaks the pot."
Seeing that the second uncle was so stubborn, Lin Wanxia was too lazy to argue with him. "Let me tell you a story. I just heard it from the island city these two days.
It is said that there was a young man who fell in love with the leader's daughter and tried every means to trick the girl into getting her. In order to please the leader, he wanted to trick his niece into the leader's bed.
As a result, the niece did not fall for it and escaped the disaster. Instead, the young man's father-in-law was sent to the police station, causing him to lose his iron bowl of rice.
Of course, the mother-in-law did not agree with the young man to marry the girl again.
In fact, the young man also wanted to regret the marriage. After all, the father-in-law had no power, but Later, he found out that his father-in-law depended on his father-in-law's family.
In other words, the young man's mother-in-law's family was the one with authority. The young man changed his mind and wanted to marry his fiancée, so he had to show his sincerity to please his mother-in-law.
But his mother-in-law disliked him for being a poor boy and asked for a dowry of 1,001 yuan.
The young man was born an ordinary fisherman, and his parents were lucky enough not to hold him back, but they couldn't help him at all.
At this time, misfortunes never come singly, and the young man's mother did something bad and was arrested.
The mother-in-law looked down on the young man even more, but she had to marry him.
Because the young man was in public He defiled her daughter and made her pregnant.
So the mother-in-law raised the betrothal gift from 1001 to 1999.
How could the young man who couldn't even come up with 1000 yuan come up with 2000 yuan?
But he had to take it, because his mother-in-law only gave him three months to prepare for the wedding, and if he failed to do so, he would lose his iron rice bowl.
The young man was forced into a corner and thought of a way to sell his sister. His
sister married the wrong person. She thought she would marry into a rich family and become a noble lady, but she didn't marry into a stable. She gave birth to an unwelcome daughter and was forcibly sent to a mental hospital. Her pretend madness turned into real madness.
The husband openly brought a new woman home .
The young man who was determined not to agree to his sister's divorce went to negotiate with his sister's in-laws, and he would get a divorce as long as his sister's in-laws paid 2,000 yuan. His sister's
in-laws were unwilling to pay the 2,000 yuan at first, after all, it was not a small amount, but his brother-in-law's new wife was pregnant, and it was found out that she was pregnant with a boy. Now the family planning is so strict that the fine for having a child is several hundred yuan.
Moreover, the woman took the opportunity to flirt with him, saying that she would have an abortion if he was not married in a formal way. The in-laws then bargained with the young man and gave him 1,000 yuan to buy his sister's divorce. "
The second uncle widened his eyes when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out a lot, showing how surprised he was.
At first he didn't understand why Lin Wanxia suddenly started telling a story, but he felt something was wrong as he listened.
Now he was sure that the young man in Lin Wanxia's story was Lin Youzhi.
"This... this..." Second Uncle stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Second Uncle was just feudal, kind and simple by nature, and couldn't accept such stimulation.
Lin Wanxia motioned to Second Uncle to drink tea, "Second Uncle, drink some water first to calm your nerves, I haven't finished yet!"
"Ah?" Second Uncle didn't care about dirtying Lin Wanxia's cup, he picked up the cup and gulped down the whole cup.
Mainly because of his strong heartbeat.
"Young man, your mother-in-law wanted two thousand yuan, but you only got one thousand yuan by selling your sister's marriage. What should you do with the shortfall of one thousand yuan?" Second
uncle frowned and asked subconsciously, "What should you do?"
Lin Wanxia smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Second uncle, didn't you notice that there is one person missing in our family?"
Second uncle looked at Lin Wanxia blankly. "Except for your fourth aunt who is in jail, they are all in the village!"
Lin Wanxia shook her head. "No, there is one missing. When Lin Yaoyao got divorced, the Jin family didn't want any children at all. Where did such a young child go?"
Second uncle was obviously very confused. He was about to speak when he remembered something and his face changed drastically.
"He... did something to the child?"
Lin Wanxia shrugged and shook her head, "I don't know."
She really didn't know. She
had tried every means to find out these things after Lin Youzhi returned to the village, in order to know each other better.
As for how much of it was true and how much was false, Lin Wanxia was not sure.
After all, part of the news was spread by the Jin family.
Old Master Jin was a Pixiu, so he would never be willing to let Lin Youzhi take the opportunity to extort a thousand yuan from him.
The seemingly prosperous Jin family would be hurt if they lost this thousand yuan.
"However, some people say that the girl was also sold by Lin Youzhi."
"No." The second uncle still didn't want to believe it, "Youzhi is not that kind of person!"
