sister-in-law

Chapter 1
In the midsummer afternoon, the heat was unbearable, the leaves were motionless, and the cicadas on the trees were so loud that it was hard to feel at ease.

In a small thatched cottage at the head of Sujiawa Village, a skinny girl of twelve or thirteen years old was sleeping on an earthen kang near the door. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed. In her sleep, her long eyelashes trembled from time to time. Like a frightened butterfly.

The small nose flapped slightly, breathing evenly, and the diamond-shaped lips showed a faint pink color, just like the peach blossoms in March, with a shiny luster.

In front of her, an old woman with half-gray hair was fanning her with a fan, weeping from her eyes.

Beads of sweat oozed from the forehead of the girl on the kang. Although she squinted her eyes and fell asleep, she clenched her hands tightly and throbbed from time to time.

"Li'er, wake up." The old woman called out to the girl with sobs, and kept wiping her face with the back of her hand.

"Well," the girl on the kang woke up with a moan.It's just that the eyes she opened just now magnified several times...

God, why haven't you put it back on?

She covered her face sadly, wanting to cry without tears.

One moment he was still on the plane rushing to a medical topic exchange conference, and the next moment he came to this place.

When she opened her eyes and saw the low and damp hut and an old woman for the first time, she passed away without taking a breath.

He thought that a miracle would happen when he passed out, and he could return to modern times, but who knew he was still lying motionless on the kang of this small thatched hut.

God, who did she, Su Ruoli, provoke?How did such an unlucky thing happen?

Su Ruoli, who was about to cry without tears, was thinking about how to pass out again to see if she could wear it back, but her eyes widened when she was disturbed by the sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

The old woman must be the deity's mother, and she is also staring at the door in a daze at this moment—if the crooked door with air leakage on all sides is also called a door.

A group of shaggy women in ragged clothes was already walking towards this side. The leader was a shriveled old man and a half-sized man with saliva splashing and dull eyes.

These people looked unhappy, especially the shriveled old man in the head was holding a bundle of hemp rope in his hand.

What is this for?
Su Ruoli, who just woke up, all the hairs on his body exploded, staring at the group of people getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the old woman stood up in a panic and looked outside, then sat down on the edge of the kang again, wiped her tears and persuaded Su Ruoli: "Li'er, just admit it. Fate should be like this. You see that your father is not healthy and has no ability, and your brother is still a bachelor. If you don't marry this family, it will be over?"

As he spoke, he began to sob and cry.

Shrimp?

Su Ruoli half-closed her eyes, unable to digest what she heard for a while.

Is this asking her to marry someone?

But look at my dry, undeveloped figure like a little girl, she is only a little older, why did she get married?

Don't you have to set off firecrackers in the sedan chair when you get married, and the red wedding dress and red hijab are lively and lively?How do you think this posture seems to be arresting someone?

Before she could understand, the group of people entered the house.For a moment, the small thatched hut was so crowded that the light from the door could not come in, and it was so dark that the faces of the people in front of them could not be seen clearly.

"Old man, if you have something to say, don't scare my daughter." The old woman rushed forward to meet the shriveled old man.

The old man didn't seem to hear what the old woman said, his cloudy eyes only stared at Su Lili on the kang, and he said to the thick women behind him expressionlessly: "Please, you guys."

The women also nodded to each other, and there was a woman who was the tallest and thickest and seemed to have great strength to catch the rope in the old man's hand.

Su Ruoli sat up in fright, stretched out her fingers and pointed at the women in front of her who were staring at her, terrified: "You guys, what are you going to do?"

"Li'er, admit it. As long as our children from poor families can have something to eat, don't quarrel with your father." A stout woman in her 40s looked at Su Ruoli with a pitiful expression on her face. .

Why did you admit it again?What do you recognize?

Su Ruoli was full of doubts. Seeing those people coming up to grab her arms, she nimbly hid in the corner of the kang and yelled, "Don't do it, don't do it, just talk if you have something to say."

Don't you want to sell her?Why do you say this one or two?
She blinked her big black eyes and guarded the women in front of her like a wolf.

The room was crowded with people, one on the kang, five or six on the bottom of the kang, just like that.

The old man was behind a few women and was about to step out with his hands behind his back. I don't know if he couldn't bear to watch this scene or something else happened.

Hearing Su Ruoli's words, he turned his head and stared at Su Ruoli viciously, "Today, you have to go whether you want to go or not, don't play with me. If you die, you have to be carried there. "

Su Ruoli was stunned when he heard this, where is all this?Dead and alive, she didn't want to die.

Before she could answer, the old man went on, "You have only two options now, either go to make a wish, and exchange a wife for your brother. Or sell you to a rich family as a girl. You see which one you choose ?”

"Is there no third one?" Su Ruoli blinked her big black eyes and asked with a hint of expectation.

"Yes!" the shriveled old man answered briskly, Su Ruoli's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he was about to ask, when the old man spit out a few words in a dark voice: "Starved to death at home!"

What the hell!

Is this also called a road?
So there are only two roads here today?Either get married and be happy, or sell a rich family to be a girl?

Neither one seems to be good.

Su Ruoli stared wide-eyed at the people in the room, hoping that someone would come to take pity on her, at least let her live in this poor family's broken courtyard for a few days before talking.

But no one paid attention to her, including the tearful mother.People's expressions are so indifferent, as if this matter is very common!

Suddenly there was another sound of chirping footsteps outside, and a seven or eight-year-old boy ran in, panting heavily, and shouted to the shriveled old man: "The sedan chair is here, the door is open."

As soon as the child finished speaking, the triangular eyes of the shriveled old man, the father of the deity, immediately widened, and he shouted at several thick women: "His third mother, his fifth aunt, let's do it."

Several thick women immediately stepped forward shaking the rope, approaching Su Ruoli expressionlessly.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet." Su Ruoli shouted anxiously, but no one listened to her.

Several women stepped forward and held her down. The rope was wrapped around her hands, and then wrapped around her feet.

"Hey, I..." Su Ruoli yelled two words in a hurry, when a silent woman took a black tablecloth from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

A strong rotten smell made her almost vomit, but her eyes widened helplessly.

She wants to say that she is proficient in medical skills, she wants to say that she can use this to make a fortune, she wants to say that keeping her will never be in vain, and she can also let the stupid brother marry a wife and let the family live in a big tile house.

But who will listen?Who will believe it?
Where did a girl from a poor family learn medical skills?It would be strange not to be burned as a goblin.

The movements of the women were swift and quick, and they quickly put on a bright red wedding dress and a red hijab with dragons and phoenixes flying around.

Seeing that everything was tidied up, the wizened old man told the idiot brother: "Da Zhuang, carry your sister on the sedan chair. Only after you get on the sedan chair can you marry your wife."

Although the words were nondescript, everyone in the room understood.

Su Ruoli looked up at the sky helplessly, but the sky was also turned blood red by the red hijab.

My God, which Bodhisattva who was passing by could come down to save her.How could she be so unlucky?

When the silly brother Su Dazhuang heard that he could marry a wife, he immediately squatted down and picked up Su Lili.This idiot has a lot of stupidity, he carried a thin little girl and ran all the way, and sent her to the sedan chair at the door.

The mother-in-law of this body trotted all the way out, clinging to the chair shaft and crying, "Li'er, don't blame your parents for being cruel. There is no other way. If you don't marry, you will get two taels of silver. The incense is broken. Can you bear to see that your parents don’t even have a grandson?”

Su Ruoli, who was tightly bound in the sedan chair, groaned twice.She really wanted to say, "I can't bear it, the son born to a fool is also a fool."

But the stinky rag stuffed in her mouth prevented her from venting her anger, and she heard a yell in her ear, and the sedan chair was already shaking.

Two taels of silver, two taels of silver.Pity her, a talented woman in the medical field who combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine is worth two taels of silver.

The bridal sedan was bumped all the way, making Su Ruoli's bones soft and tendons crunchy inside, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, his stomach turned upside down.

But the thoughts kept running, the one who bought her Chongxi can afford two taels of silver, isn't it also a wealthy family?

At least not as poor as this deity's family, right?
But Chongxi is not a good job, and I don't know who is sick in that family, maybe it's the father or mother?
It's fine if it's done well, but if it's not done well, the reputation of a broom star is guaranteed.

It's not that she doesn't know how feudal this evil ancient times is. As long as she doesn't make people good, her good life will be ruined.

Everyone knows that if they are not extremely poor, they will not let their daughter be happy.It can be seen that the Su family is also desperate.

It is because of this that the real deity can't think about it.

Su Ruoli tilted her body, her whole body was bound like a zongzi, and the strangulation mark under her neck was aching.

Hey, why is she so unlucky to have such a bloody thing happen?
She asked herself, did she do anything wicked in her previous life?

Is God deliberately joking?

Her little heart can't stand such a blow.

Heaven, earth, who will save her weak heart?
While weeping, I heard a cry in my ear: "Get off the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair has landed smoothly, presumably it has arrived.
