Chang Xiujuan knelt in her yard all night. The frost and dew that rose in early spring wet her hair and coat, and then condensed into water droplets. She fell to the ground.
Chang Xiujuan was cold and aggrieved, but she knew that she had long lost her place in this family.
When she was seventeen, her parents betrothed her to a tuberculosis ghost in the next village as a Chongxi lady for five taels of silver.
She knew that her family was poor, and she had her elder brother waiting for money to marry, and her younger brother and sister to be raised, so she still responded even if she didn't want to.
But she had just passed the door for three days, and she didn't even see her husband's appearance clearly, and she was just a umpire.
The mother-in-law who lost her beloved son was not a good match. She was buckled by a husband's hat, so she never raised her head between the neighbors.
My mother-in-law is arrogant, and she will either beat or scold her regardless of her mood.
Chang Xiujuan was obedient and could not do anything to disobey her elders, so she endured it all the time. She thought that this was the case in her life and that she could only do it.
Three years
She lived for three years under the abuse and beating and scolding of her mother-in-law, and also served her for three years.
It probably responded to the old saying that the villain will win. Her mother-in-law was too excited when she was holding a stick and cursing her. Somehow she tripped the stone under her feet and fell to the ground. She didn't get up again.
As soon as her mother-in-law died, her brother came to the door, occupied the house and found that she was malicious. She hurriedly packed up a few pieces of coarse cloth and ran back to her mother's house in Gujia Village.
If you want to talk about Chang Xiujuan herself, she is a farm girl with no ink and honest heart. She has a pretty oval face and big eyes. She looks not gorgeous enough but looks gentle and charming.
The 20-year-old girl has a beautiful appearance for ten years. She can't hide her graceful figure with her forward and back under her coarse gray shirt, especially her slender waist that is not full, which may be broken if she uses a little force. There is a little sadness between her eyebrows, but it is difficult to hide her beauty. It makes people feel a little pity when they see it.
She went back to her parents' home and stood outside the yard, screaming at her busy parents in the yard. Everyone in the family was stunned. She looked up and looked surprised and seemed to see a stranger.
Chang Xiujuan was timid, and her words and grievances were all put into her heart. Her eyes were red and her parents let her enter the house, leading her to see her sister-in-law and her younger sister who had grown to her shoulders.
But before she could speak, her mother said to herself, stay here for two days before going back
Chang Xiujuan thought that her parents didn't care about her for so many years, and she didn't even know that she had nowhere to go now.
She thought that even if she was not good at home, she would have a tiles covering her head, but it seemed that she had hoped for her.
Mom, I have nowhere to go... Chang Xiujuan lowered her head and covered a few tears that burst out from her eyes.
I briefly explained her situation to my parents over the years, but I deliberately skipped the details of being abused and sighed, and didn't say much.
At night, my mother was talking about family affairs. My brother married her sister-in-law half a year after her marriage. My sister-in-law added a little fat girl to her family the year before yesterday. My parents grew older and couldn't do the hard work, so they rented out the acres of land in the family for others to plant.
Now the family is all about making money by the elder brother alone, and my sister-in-law is also awesome, and she is full of all aspects.
The second girl Xiuhe may have passed by her family next year...
Xiuhe is only fourteen this year... Chang Xiujuan was sleepless this night, covered herself with a quilt and still felt cold.
Her teeth were so cold that she couldn't help but tremble
On the sixth day of returning home, my sister-in-law smiled and said the first sentence after meeting each other.
The sentence only has one meaning. She, a married daughter, can't stay in her parents' home all the time. It's not good-looking or nice.
The family has a large population, and it is really hard to rely on the brother alone to bear it...
Chang Xiujuan doesn't want to be a glutton. She has been busy all the time at home and outside the family these days. She even considered taking back the rented fields so that she could just plant some vegetables, fruits and melons in the spring...
But when she was about to say what she had planned, her sister-in-law's words broke up all her plans
...My sister-in-law asked someone to book a marriage for you again...
Chang Xiujuan was stunned. She thought she had heard it wrong, but she didn't dare to prove it when she looked at her sister-in-law's rolling lips, and couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.
She can't remember what my sister-in-law said later
Chang Xiujuan begs her parents not to marry again to avoid them, and sighs as if she doesn't want to be embarrassed by them anymore.
Chang Xiujuan knelt down and knelt all night
Her knees were already lost, and her straight spine shook slightly
My sister-in-law got up in the morning and first showed off her late-girl face, secretly scolding her for being ungrateful.
Chang Xiujuan's ears have been filled with vicious words for more than three years. After all, her sister-in-law is young and she can't speak some swear words.
Chang Xiujuan thought that as long as she was not allowed to remarry, she would be willing to accept her fate with shamelessness even if she was scolded by her family. However, she did not expect that her parents, who were awakened by her sister-in-law, went out of the room and knelt down in front of her.
The parents knelt down instantly to remove all Chang Xiujuan's stubbornness and bones.
There was no tears in my eyes. Chang Xiujuan gritted her teeth and trembled. She knelt for her parents. She prayed for her health and lived a hundred years. She prayed for her parents to raise her and gave birth to her bones and flesh. She prayed for her parents to teach her and understood her feelings and reason.
She had never read a book and didn't understand some great principles, but she knew that this time she would be together, whether she would live, die, be blessed or misfortune in the future, and she would never be able to come back.
...I'm married
This time, my sister-in-law took two taels of silver from her husband's family.
The sister-in-law said that the man's family is well-off, with only three brothers and both parents died. He was willing to pay a second-married widow, but he would not pay even a single tael of silver if he had a second-married widow.
My sister-in-law said that when you get married, you must live with others steadily. Don’t be able to bear any grievances. It’s not easy for women.
My sister-in-law said, my sister-in-law said, my sister-in-law said...
At night, my parents asked her secretly, what money and valuable objects did the dead mother-in-law give her? Don’t take her to her new husband’s house stupidly, and you have to keep it in the hands of your parents to be safe.
Chang Xiujuan brought up a broken bag when she got home. Xiao was already looking through her, and she had nowhere to find anything. She secretly asked her.
Chang Xiujuan was heartbroken
My parents don’t know what life she had lived before. Not to mention money, even the slightly more refined food cannot reach her mouth. Where can I get the valuable things?
As soon as her mother-in-law died, she was swept out by her relatives. She was just that baggage, but she was allowed to take it away by them after searching through it.
Chang Xiujuan silently pretended that she had fallen asleep
She was timid, and she didn't dare to ask questions that knew the answer, for fear that she would not be able to control herself and cry and would be even more annoying.
She didn't dare to look at her parents' faces, for fear that what was imprinted in her mind when she parted in the end was their faces that looked like strangers...
New husband's family...
Even if she is poor, it doesn't matter. She has hands and feet. She can do everything she can with her own land, grow vegetables, wash and cook. Chang Xiujuan dares not expect too much, just hopes that the other party will not beat or scold her like her mother-in-law before. She is an honest man who lives a duty.
She wants to have a...her own home...a warm home...
I won't wake up in a nightmare, don't worry about whether there will be tomorrow after today. It doesn't matter if I get hungry occasionally...
Chang Xiujuan frowned and fell asleep with anxiety about the future
Three years of abuse made her sleep quality extremely poor. She basically didn't have a night until dawn. She was so drowsy. It was dawn when she was half asleep and half awake. It was time for her to get married.
Chang Xiujuan was cold and aggrieved, but she knew that she had long lost her place in this family.
