Chapter 381 Domestic Violence 1
This is an alternate time and space similar to that of China.
Lin Hui only felt a sudden pain on the back of her head, pain all over her body, arms, and limbs, and she felt uncomfortable in more than one place all over her body.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed. It seemed to be a modern room, but the furniture and bedding were too rural and not like a city.
She was not the only one on the bed, there was also a snoring man lying next to her. It seemed that even if the two were not husband and wife, they were in some other intimate relationship.
Lin Hui closed her eyes and began to receive the plot and the original memory.
Lin Hui was born in the countryside in the early [-]s. She has an older sister and an older brother. She is the youngest in the family.
However, even though she is the youngest daughter, she does not enjoy any special treatment at home. The most important thing for farmers is their son.
Although his father, Lin Dayong, has the word "yong" in his name, he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He has always been an honest man in the village and neither dares to provoke others nor cause trouble.
However, Lin Dayong is very authoritative towards his three children. He must have the final say and have full control over the children's lives.
Lin Hui's sister Lin Xia was sent to work by her parents before she finished junior high school. Her monthly salary was more than [-] yuan. She only kept a few dozen yuan in pocket money, and the rest was sent home to her parents every month.
Originally, Lin Dayong would go to work nearby to do odd jobs from time to time when farming was off. But with the money sent back by his eldest daughter, he no longer went out to work. He only lived by guarding the few acres of land, and went to the fields when farming was busy. During the off-season, I just stay at home and occasionally have a drink or something.
At less than forty years old, it seems that he has entered a state of retirement in advance.
When Lin Hui graduated from junior high school, she was arranged to work with her sister. With the money sent by her two daughters, Lin Dayong became more and more comfortable in life, and felt that this life was quite good.
However, daughters always have to get married when they grow up. When Lin Xia was eighteen years old, she arranged to marry her husband's family and left the house.
Lin Dayong used the bride price given by his eldest daughter's husband's family and the money earned by his two daughters in the past few years to build a new house for his family and set it aside for his son's wedding.
After building the house, he still had some money left in his hand, thinking that it would be enough to pay for his son's marriage. He became more and more comfortable, thinking that after his son got married, his responsibilities would be completed, and he would finally be able to enjoy happiness in the future. .
Who knows, people can't predict the future, but in just a few years, the price of rural bride prices will rise higher and higher.
Obviously, the betrothal gift Lin Xia received when she got married was only five to six thousand, which was considered the market price at the time. But after only two or three years, when her son was about to get married, the betrothal gift became twenty to thirty thousand!
Lin Dayong suddenly began to worry, how could he come up with so much money?
But his son's age was on the line, and he was afraid that the longer he waited for the bride price to rise, the higher the price would be, and that he would not be able to find a wife for his son, so he could only hurry up and ask someone to introduce him to her.
Fortunately, he still has a daughter who can receive another betrothal gift. In this way, his son will have enough money to marry a wife!
Just like that, Lin Hui, who was working outside, was hurriedly called back, and they went on a blind date as if it was just a show, preparing to get married!
In the end, the original person got engaged to the Chen family, which was a few villages away from her own, and the object was the Chen family's only son, Chen Ziqiang.
Now that the marriage has been decided, the next step is to hurry up and get engaged, and then prepare for the wedding.
It turned out that there was only three months between the blind date and the marriage.
Yuan Shen and Chen Ziqiang met a total of three times before getting married. Soon, Yuan Shen became the daughter-in-law of the Chen family from the second daughter of the Lin family.
According to the market price, the Chen family gave a gift of [-] yuan, but Lin Dayong kept all of it, and then used it to hire his son in the next village!
The Chen family only has one son, Chen Ziqiang, who is average in appearance and not very tall, so he wanted to find a tall daughter-in-law with an outstanding appearance to avoid having a litter of frustrated children in the future.
Because she was good-looking, tall, and a junior high school student, the Chen family was happy when they paid the bride price according to the Lin family's request. They thought it would not be a loss to marry such a daughter-in-law!
Moreover, even though they mentioned [-] yuan, no woman kept all the bride price. She had to bring back at least half of it. Therefore, her family only spent more than [-] yuan, so the money was well spent!
But when the original person entered the Chen family's door and the Chen family knew that all the betrothal gifts were left at their parents' house and they didn't bring back any of them, the atmosphere became very awkward.
That day, Chen Ziqiang's parents, Chen Qingyuan and Zhu Cuifang, lost their smiles at the original person.
The more than [-] yuan was what the couple had saved over the years through hard work. It was right for their son to get a wife, but they were forced to let all the in-laws stay and hire the son of the Lin family. How could they feel comfortable!
According to the custom in this area, the mother's family will at least let the daughter take half of the bride price back to her husband's family. There are those who love their daughter and will let her take even more. There are even some who don't keep a penny from the mother's family and give it all to their daughter.
It’s really rare for the Lin family to leave all of them behind, so it’s no wonder the Chen family has objections!
This matter has become a knot in the hearts of the Chen family. When they see the original person, they think of the bride price and feel angry!
Neither the Chen family's parents-in-law nor Chen Ziqiang himself was nice to the original person, which made the original person cautious ever since she got married.
The original person also felt that she should contribute to her brother's marriage, but her parents should not keep all the gift money, causing her to be unable to hold her head high in her husband's family!
The cold looks from her parents-in-law were okay, but the cold treatment from her husband was the most unbearable thing for her.
Yuan Shen has never been in love before, but this does not hinder her yearning for married life.
The married life in her imagination should be happy and happy, but since her marriage, her life has been full of gloom.
Because the atmosphere at home was not good, the original person did not dare to speak too much, for fear that if he said something wrong, the family would be unhappy. However, Chen Ziqiang disliked the original person for being dull and boring, and often scolded her, which made the original person even more afraid. He opened his mouth, but it only attracted more dissatisfaction.
After drinking once, Chen Ziqiang felt that the water brought to him was too hot and difficult to drink, so he threw the teapot out of his hand, and the whole pot of hot water was poured on her.
Fortunately, it was winter and I wore thick clothes. The water was absorbed by the cotton clothes, so I didn’t burn my skin much.
The original person felt that her husband was just having trouble for a moment, not intentionally, so she just screamed in fright and said nothing else. With tears in her eyes, she silently changed her clothes and brought her husband another bottle of food with the right temperature. of water.
She thought that her consideration would be rewarded by her husband's consideration, but little did she know that her forbearance would only make Chen Ziqiang go overboard.
In the future, from time to time, whenever Chen Ziqiang drank and looked displeased with the original person, he would attack her. Even if he didn't drink, if the original person's words and deeds were slightly less than what he wanted, or if he felt something was not right in his heart, he would attack her. Take it out on yourself.
At first it was just pushing, then it was slaps, and finally it turned into punches and kicks, and the situation became more and more intense.
As for the parents of the Chen family, because they were resentful towards the daughter-in-law and her natal family, they also sat back and watched their son's violent behavior towards their daughter-in-law. As long as the original person was not beaten in front of them, even if it was only separated by a wall, they could pretend that they could not hear and see. Don’t see, don’t speak, don’t dissuade.
Even if I accidentally saw it with my own eyes, it was just a few words of symbolic advice.
I am not trying to persuade my son, but I am trying to persuade my daughter-in-law not to argue with her son.
As for a man, he works hard outside to earn money. When someone has trouble, it doesn't matter if he is beaten a few times. He will be patient and it will be over!
