The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 415

The subordinates found out that this woman was not a native of Shantun, but a farmer in the village who bought it from a human trafficker seven or eight years ago to be his daughter-in-law. "

Chu Xu knew that in some remote and impoverished mountain villages, many families could not marry a daughter-in-law, and even those with daughters in the village were looking forward to marrying their daughters out. How could anyone be willing to marry a girl to such a foolish place.

Therefore, many men who are over forty years old may not be able to marry a woman seriously. In the end, relying on the money they have saved for more than ten or twenty years, it is not uncommon to buy a woman of unknown origin as a wife.

It's just that unless such a woman is out of her mind, few people are really willing to be trapped to death in this remote area. Therefore, it is normal for the bought daughter-in-law to escape, and it is common for the buyer to detain and beat the bought woman.This situation will not change until a woman has a child.

Some women are soft-hearted and accept their fate for the sake of their children; on the other hand, men's families also think that women with children are less likely to escape, so they relax their vigilance.Besides, in such a mountain village, the villagers hook up with each other, a family buys a daughter-in-law, and almost the whole village helps guard it. How difficult it is to escape from the village!
Moreover, a village like Kaoshantun must be extremely remote. Even if you escape from the village, you may not be able to walk out of the barren mountains alive...

Therefore, not only was this woman able to escape, but she also bumped into Yingying, so it was unusual.

"Guoshantun?" Chu Xu changed his mind and returned to the name of the village, but after thinking about it, he really didn't know there was such a place.

Before he and Yingying got married, he had found out about Wangshan County and the surrounding villages. He clearly remembered that there was no such village name, otherwise his memory would not be without a little impression.

Shi Dian touched his nose, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he replied solemnly with a sullen face: "The general doesn't know, this place like Kaoshantun is not a formal village set up by the imperial court, it should be some naturally formed villages. It is very likely that the small village has never been registered in the government.

In fact, we really need to look up villages with names like "Guoshan Village" and "Guoshantun". I'm afraid there are three or five such villages in any prefecture or county, and even the names are just casually called out. .

The materials the general inspected before were all in the government archives, so naturally there would be no such records, but this is nothing new among the people.

In the past few days, the subordinates followed the clues to find it in person, and finally found this place in a big mountain in the southeast. "

"There are several more households in this village than Wangyun Village, but the total number of people here is very small. There are only thirty or fifty people in the village. Some families in the village only have one or two middle-aged and elderly men. Occasionally, I met a few women in the house, either they were old, or their expressions were a little numb and dull, but it was rare to see big girls and young daughters-in-law.

The subordinates heard that more than half a month ago, a family named Hu in this village ran away with their daughter-in-law.But this time it was not found, only a shoe was found. It is said that it was probably eaten by wolves in the mountains. "

Hearing his nonsense, Chu Xu directly threw a teacup over it, the waiter caught it, put it back in a good voice, and then said: "My subordinate has been looking around in the mountain village for three or five days, and finally there is nothing wrong with it. Responsibility mission, generally understand some things."

"There are two brothers surnamed Hu in this southeast mountain. The eldest is Hu Hong and the second is Hu Lu. Interestingly, the brothers' mother was bought by the dead old man Hu at the time. She also ran away. After having a child, I stopped running away. Now the old lady is still alive, not yet 60 years old.

This woman is the daughter-in-law that Mrs. Hu helped to buy for her boss Hu Hong seven years ago. She was only 13 years old when she bought it.

It is said that this girl kept telling the Hu family that she was kidnapped and asked them to send her back, and her parents would naturally repay the Hu family.However, the Hu family finally bought a daughter-in-law, so naturally they refused, and beat the girl severely, and starved for two days. "

Beating the bought daughter-in-law first is said to be a common deterrent method used by the buyer's family, in order to subdue the daughter-in-law once, so that they dare not think of running away in the future.

However, the fact is obviously not the case. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.All the daughters-in-law who bought here did not regard this place as a devil's lair, and their desire to escape from the devil's lair has never weakened, but the resistance on the surface has turned into a silent wait.

"...It is said that this woman ran away more times than my daughter-in-law. When she couldn't escape, she committed suicide. She crashed into a wall, hanged herself, cut her wrist with pieces of a porcelain bowl, and even swallowed a stone. It's a common occurrence, and the Hu family has no peace all day long."

Chu Xu frowned, did he not die like this?
"Hehe, isn't that right." Shi Dian also grinned helplessly. He also heard about it through investigation, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. It's okay to hold her hand. This woman has been pregnant twice before, but she deliberately tossed them out, and this is the third time. "
