Chapter 247 Picking Up a Man

A Lan is an ordinary cochin woman.

Like all cozhi women, she was not welcomed by her family after she was born.

From the time she was sensible, their mother and daughter took care of all the work inside and outside the house.

Her father and elder brother, in the village, are all majestic men that can be counted.

Unfortunately, they don't do any work.

Staying idle at home all day, either squatting at the head of the village talking about the mountains, or sitting at home drinking bad wine.

Both father and son have bad tempers, and beat their mother and daughter when they are free.

As she grew up gradually, she grew to 14 years old.

Her father sold her to A Cheng in a neighboring village to be his wife.

Chief Ah Cheng is handsome and shy.

Marrying into A Cheng's family, A Lan thought she could get rid of the fate of being beaten, after all A Cheng looked very shy.

However, the sky does not follow people's wishes.

Ah Cheng, who is shy in front of outsiders, has a violent side at home.

When he showed his violent side, he was more vicious than her father and brother.

Ah Cheng beat Ah Lan for the first time.

Alan's arm was broken, and the next day he had to hang his arm to sow seeds in the rice fields.

Day by day.

The wounds on Alan's body increased day by day.

Sometimes, she fantasizes that she has become a buffalo. Although she works in the rice fields every day, she is occasionally beaten with a whip.However, good forage can be eaten at night.

Sometimes, she fantasizes that she has become a loach in the rice field, which can dig holes in the rice field wantonly and bury herself without being beaten.

However, for A Lan, this is indeed a luxury, a fantasy.

This spring, Ah Lan became pregnant.

Ah Cheng beat her less often.

She is happy and happy.

Although she still has to work with a big belly every day, she doesn't have to be beaten, which makes her feel relaxed for a long time.

The easy days didn't last long.

A group of villains broke into her house with swords in their hands.

The family's food was robbed by the villains, and Ah Cheng was also taken away by the villains.

Surprisingly, the villains did not harm her.

All the men in the village were captured by the villains.

Alan, like other women, hid at home in fear and did not dare to go out.

It was not until three days later that I was so hungry that I crawled out of the house.

Then look around for food.

The women in the village are also looking for food everywhere.

The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and you can get a lot of food on the mountains and in the water.

There is no man in the family, and the women are a little more courageous.

A kind old woman will quietly give her some food.

If this was done in the past, if the men in the family were not telling the truth and gave food to other people, they would be beaten to death.

A Lan survived with the help of the women.

Forced to make ends meet, the women began to continue farming.

With a big belly, A Lan also joined the ranks of farming.

Midsummer is here.

The rice in the field is ripe.

The emptied bamboo granary in Alan's house was filled with grain again.

The storehouse was full of food, and no man beat her.

Alan felt that this might be the happiest life she had ever lived.

However, all of this was broken on a cold morning.

In the early morning of this day, it was drizzling, and Ah Lan went to the fields barefoot, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a rice basket containing food.

"Ah~"

On the edge of the field, A Lan found a man lying on the ground.

For men, she was a little afraid deep in her heart.

However, her kind nature prompted her to go over.

The man lying on the ground was young, about 20 years old.

His cheeks were covered with mud and water, and his face could not be seen clearly.

When A Lan approached him, he opened his mouth and said a strange word.

Alan had never heard of this language.

Alan couldn't understand what the man said, so he could only guess based on his intuition.

'Maybe I fainted from hunger...'

Alan thought so, and then she grabbed a handful of fried rice from the rice basket she brought and fed it to the man.

The man ate something and drank a little water.

Became sober.

He seemed wounded and unable to move.

Alan hesitated for an entire hour.

In the end, she decided to take the man home and take care of him.

Under Alan's careful care, the man's injuries slowly began to improve.

Then, he consciously helped Alan with some housework.

After the injury healed.

He even left Ah Lan at home to raise the baby, and went to the fields diligently to cultivate.

When she came back in the evening, she would catch some loaches and big fish and make soup for her.

After getting along for a month, the two of them didn't communicate much because of the language barrier.

But Alan could tell that he was a very, very, very, very, very good man.

Gentle, considerate, down-to-earth, capable.

Most importantly, he never yelled at A Lan, nor hit A Lan.

When the women in the village met Ah Lan, they would praise her with envy and jealousy for finding a good man.

Alan also gradually fell in love with this man.

The aunt next door is very bad, always hooking up with the good man she picked up when she was not paying attention.

But this man was not as disappointed as Ah Lan.

He ignored the girls and women in the village who seduced him.

It's getting better and better for her.

Recently, the aunt next door has become more and more shameless.

She actually lifted up her clothes in broad daylight, exposing her chest to seduce the good man she picked up.

A deep sense of crisis lingered in Alan's heart.

In order to keep this good man by her side, Alan thought for a long time.

She thought of a good idea.

marry him.

A simple wedding was held under the management of the old man in the village.

Alan married him amid the envious eyes of all the women and girls in the village.

When he returned to the house with Alan in his arms under the gaze of all the people.

Alan was so happy that he could hardly find Bei.

However, even though they were married, the aunt next door still shamelessly hooked up with her man.

Alan expressed concern about this.

She prayed to God that more men would come down and be picked up by the women and girls in the village.Tell them not to hook up with their men.

No one knows whether God has received her prayer or not.

But her man seemed to have heard her prayers.

In the next few days, women and girls in the village also started picking up men.

In just half a month, almost all the women and girls in the village picked up men.

And each of them is as practical and capable as Alan's men.

Now, Ah Lan no longer has to worry about someone robbing her man.

There are more men in the village, but they all seem to be the same as A Lan's men in that they can't speak cochin.

In order to solve the language problem, the men in the village elected A Lan's man as the village head.

At first, during the slack season, men brought their wives and children together to study culture.

In addition, men will gather together to practice every morning and evening.

Alan and the women in the village were puzzled by this.

Alan asked her man in broken Chinese, "Lang... What are you doing..."

Alan's man smiled brightly, patted his chest and said, "Train yourself and protect you and the children."

In an instant, Alan's heart warmed up.

Only then did she realize that this was the happiest moment in her life.

Everything that happened in the village of Alan is also happening in the villages near Miza City.
