Zhao Xueer's Cruel Betrayal
Mother Su said, "At that time, your father had already retired from the military. The Political Commissar Tong and his son came to visit your father. I was pregnant with you at that time. It was that brat from the Tong family who said that I was pregnant with his wife. After that, your father agreed to it. "
Mother Su's eyes narrowed into slits when she thought about what happened back then.
At that time, that child touched her stomach and said, "Auntie, my father said that you are pregnant with my wife. Is that true?" How old was he at that time? He was only six or seven years old. How could he know the word 'wife'? He must have been taught by the Political Commissar Tong. That old man must have set his sights on her daughter from the beginning.
However, she really did like Gangzi.
Su Xiao was dumbfounded. She never thought that her father would still have such thoughts in this modern society. Arranged marriage when she was a child? She never thought that she had already been betrothed to someone before she was even born.
"Dad, Mom, it's a modern society now. How can you still have such thoughts?"
Father Su said with a straight face, "How can this not work? A great man once said that dating with the purpose of marriage is not being a hooligan. At that time, you were dating Gangzi properly. Wasn't that free love? "
Father Su could agree to anything else, but this was the only thing that he insisted on. This was a marriage arranged between the two brothers. How could he go back on his word just because he couldn't bear to see his daughter sad? How could he still maintain his old face?
"I've met Gangzi before. This child is honest. If Lanzi marries him, she definitely won't lose out." Mother Su also felt that Tong Gang was a good child. He was the best candidate for a good son-in-law.
Su Xiao didn't know how to explain the free love issue to her parents. The two of them didn't have any feelings for each other, but the marriage was arranged by their parents. This was an arranged marriage.
She thought to herself, 'I have to find this man one day and clearly analyze his relationship with him. I have to break off this engagement.'
As for the matter of the county security team coming to investigate the case tomorrow, Su Xiao no longer considered it. Anyway, as long as she didn't appear, it wouldn't attract the attention of the skinny monkey-head. She only wanted to cancel this marriage.
There were some people and some things that couldn't be avoided just by avoiding them.
In her previous life, she had met a skinny monkey on the street. In the end, her family had been destroyed. After her rebirth, Su Xiao had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the disasters of her previous life, but some things were also quietly changing with the wings of the little butterfly she was reborn with.
The arrival of Skinny Monkey-Head's security team undoubtedly told Su Xiao that if this matter was not handled properly, it was possible to repeat the same mistake.
On this day, Father Su went to the village committee early in the morning. Mother Su didn't go immediately. Although she was the village women's director, she could take a break since Father Su was already there.
Su Xiao stayed in her room and was bored. She didn't go anywhere. It was Father Su who strictly ordered her to stay in her room and not go anywhere. The atmosphere in the village today was too tense. She didn't want to get into trouble.
In fact, even if Father Su didn't remind her, she would still obediently stay in her room and not go out. After all, Skinny Monkey-Head's matter gave her a lot of psychological pressure. In this kind of special situation, if she could avoid it, then she would avoid it. If she couldn't avoid it, then she would think of ways to minimize the damage.
She was lying on the bed, filtering the things that happened in the past two days in her mind. When she filtered to her father's old partner, Political Commissar Tong, and her fiancé, Tong Gang, a fragment flashed in her mind like lightning. It was about her previous life.
At that time, she had already joined the army and was a student under the director. In the hospital, she met her previous life's husband, Tong Gang. Under the hospital's director's matchmaking, the two of them got married. He told her that his father was the Provincial Military Political Commissar. After he completed this mission, he would bring her home to meet his parents. But that year, she didn't see Tong Gang. Instead, she received news of his death. He was killed in the war with Vietnam that year. He was blown up by a grenade and didn't even leave a corpse behind.
How long had they been married that year?
This became her eternal pain. In her previous life, she didn't remarry until the moment of her death.
As she was thinking, she suddenly sat up. At first, when her father talked about his old partner, Political Commissar Tong, she didn't think about Tong Gang. But just now, she suddenly remembered this matter.
That year, before the counterattack began, the Yue Kingdom was always harassing the border. Over there, everyone was a soldier. When you met them, they might be women or children. But in the next moment, these women and children would turn into soldiers and suddenly attack you.
At that time, the Tong Gang was confused by the enemy and thought that they were ordinary children. In the end, he fell into the enemy's trap and died in the winter of that year.
If she remembered correctly, that year was 1977. Wasn't that next year?
If the Tong Gang's father, Political Commissar Tong, was her father's old partner, Political Commissar Tong, then wouldn't the husband who died in the war with Vietnam be her fiancé? At that time, when her father talked about this child betrothal, she didn't think about him. Now that she thought about it, the two of them were probably the same person.
She suddenly sat up, hurriedly got off the bed and ran out of the door.
In the yard, Mother Su was mixing pig food and was about to feed the pigs when she saw her daughter rush out of the room. She almost spilled the pig food in her hands. She was even more shocked when she saw that her daughter had a rash on her face. She thought that her daughter was sick and quickly went up to her. "Lanzi, what's wrong? Your face … "
"Mom, don't worry about my face. I have something to ask you." Su Xiao didn't care about her face. This was the result she wanted. Now, she wanted to know the truth about something else. She asked, "Mom, is Dad's old comrade the Political Commissar Tong of the military district?"
Mother Su was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know who he is now or what his position is. I only know that the last time he came to our house was ten years ago. It was the year when the movement first started. At that time, he was already the Chief of Staff. "
Su Xiao was almost certain that the two Political Commissar Tongs were the same person. She would know the truth when her father came back from the military.
"Lanzi, your face …" Mother Su only had eyes for her daughter's rash covered face. It looked really scary.
Su Xiao reached out and touched her face. Was it really that scary? She went over and took a look at herself in the mirror. Her face was covered with red rashes. It looked really disgusting and scary.
She nodded her head in satisfaction. Yes, that medicine was really good. The effect was very obvious.
"Lanzi …" Mother Su was anxious and angry.
Su Xiao comforted her. "Mom, it's okay. I just ate something bad. I'll be fine soon."
Mother Su opened her mouth and thought to herself, This girl doesn't care about her face at all. I hope it doesn't leave a scar. I have to go to Quan Shu to get some medicine. I really don't want to disfigure her. Otherwise, a good face will be really ugly if it's ruined.
Su Xiao didn't know what her mother was thinking. She was very satisfied with the juice she boiled last night. She just smeared a little and the effect was so obvious. Although it looked a little disgusting, she was happy when she thought about its effects.
It didn't matter if it was good medicine or poison. As long as it could help her, it was good medicine.
Mother Su didn't want to feed the pigs anymore. She planned to go to the village's old Chinese medicine doctor, Quan Shu, to get some medicine for the rashes. It wouldn't be good if it really left a scar.
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside. There was also a shout.
"Lanzi, hurry into the house. Don't get sick from the wind. I'll go take a look and see what's going on. "
Su Xiao had already taken a headscarf-like thing and wrapped it around her face. Her whole head was wrapped tightly, only revealing two black eyes.
Mother Su had already left the courtyard and saw the security team outside like bandits, destroying things everywhere.
In the Zhao family next door, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao didn't go to the police station. The two of them were lazy. Now that they had an excuse to not go to work, they couldn't ask for more. Zhao Xueer wasn't at home. She went to San Dong Tou early in the morning. She originally wanted to ask Su Xiao out, but because Su Xiao closed the door and didn't come out, she had to give up. She went to San Dong Tou alone to cut Hogweed.
Just like that, she coincidentally bumped into the skinny monkey head.
Skinny Monkey was extremely ugly. He was bald and had a bit of a scabby head. Even though he was quite powerful now, no girls were willing to marry him. They all avoided him. Therefore, he rarely saw beautiful girls. The ones he saw were all old married women. Even the younger wives avoided him.
However, he bumped into Zhao Xueer just like that.
Zhao Xueer was really beautiful. She was one of the most beautiful girls in Sanhe Village. In the village, other than Sheng Xue, there was also Su Xiao. Only her beauty lived up to her name.
Although Father Zhao's genes weren't good and he looked ordinary, Mother Zhao was very beautiful. She had married Father Zhao because she had escaped from the famine. She didn't have anything to eat. The Zhao family was willing to give her a few mouthfuls of food, so she married Father Zhao.
In that era, it was good enough to have a mouthful of food. It wasn't like there weren't any cases of people selling their children for a little bit of food.
When Zhao Xueer was entangled, there was no one around. In the past, there would be people from the educated youths working near San Dong Tou. However, there was no one today. Obviously, it was because of Skinny Monkey's arrival that everyone avoided him. Only Zhao Xueer was chased out of the house early to cut Hogweed because of her parents.
When Zhao Xueer saw Skinny Monkey, she was scared out of her wits …
…
The noise outside was so loud that it was hard to ignore it.
When Mother Su opened the courtyard door and went out, Su Xiao followed her. She saw Zhao Xueer being carried by Skinny Monkey to the back seat of the bicycle.
The people from the security team were all riding a type 28 bicycle. The bicycle wasn't new, but it was really good at the time.
Zhao Xueer's face was full of tears. Father Zhao and Mother Zhao stood at the door, but no one dared to go up. They could only watch their daughter being pulled onto the bicycle.
Zhao Xueer was so scared that she just wanted to scream. Her sharp eyes saw Su Xiao standing at the door and looking outside. Her face was wrapped in a cloth, obviously afraid that someone would recognize her. She then saw Mother Su beside her, blocking her with her body as if she was protecting her child. She was protecting her from the security team members' gazes.
They were both parents, but why did her parents treat her like a good-for-nothing? They hit and scolded her whenever they wanted. Why did the Su Family, from Father and Mother Su to the two brothers in the Su Family, treat Su Xiao like a treasure?
Comparing oneself to others would really anger one to death. If she didn't compare, she would feel better.
