C1 (1/2)

The wall was made of old soil and stone. It was only three feet tall, and when the wind blew, the weeds on top of the wall would sway with the wind.

The sunlight came in through the broken window frames, giving the dark room a bit of life.

”Get out of the way, the bigger one is gone, the smaller one will get married as well!”

”Don't take my sister away, don't!”

The surrounding noise and crying became even louder.

Men, women, children.

The sound of the gongs and drums filled the sky.

With so many voices, Lin Guyu had a headache.

Her four limbs were being pulled recklessly, as if she was about to be dismembered. Lin Rushi's eyebrows tightly knitted together in pain.

Suddenly, as if he was being hugged by someone, the pain in his body gradually disappeared and he seemed to be floating in midair.

The man quickly carried the girl into a room at the side and called out to the people at the side, ”Hurry up and change her clothes!”

The sound was very loud, and it sounded as if Lin Ru Shi's eardrums were about to burst.

Lin Ru Shi's eyebrows creased even tighter as she felt her body being groped over and over, as if there were a lot of hands.

She hated it when people touched her.

Not long after, the surroundings quieted down.

Lin Rushi's fingers moved slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of unfocused eyes stared blankly at the pitch black mosquito net covered with spiderwebs. He weakly laid on the bed, slightly opening his mouth and licking his thirsty lips with his tongue and head. A fishy taste spread throughout his mouth.

Where was she?

Suddenly, a woman wearing a red dress walked in. She was extremely fat, and her cheeks were painted with an exceptionally red color. There was a bright red flower on her head, as if she was singing a song.

When the matchmaker saw that Lin Ru Shi had woken up, she turned her head and shouted to the people outside, ”The bride is awake, hurry and come over.”

The bride?

Who?

She?

Lin Guyu looked astonished at the matchmaker in front of him. She slowly sat up and looked down at her red wedding dress.

Damn, what's going on? Why would she come here?

She was a student of medicine. Originally, she went to the seaside to swim with her roommate. However, she felt her leg cramping up and sank down. After that, she didn't know anything.

Maybe he was dreaming?

If he slept and woke up, all of this would just be a dream.

The matchmaker narrowed her eyes, twisting her fat body to stand in front of Lin Rushi, and said in a flattering tone, ”My bride, you're awake?”

Lin Rushi pretended to be calm as she looked at the matchmaker in front of her, while her heart was in turmoil.

”Seriously, marry into the Chi family. No matter what, do you have anything to worry about?” As the matchmaker spoke, she stepped forward and lifted up the strands of hair on Lin Ru Shi's forehead.

The matchmaker saw a large patch of red on her forehead and frowned. She then said, ”Seriously, if I were to honestly marry her, then there won't be that much to deal with.”

The messy memories in his mind suddenly surged up.

The cause of the matter had to be Lin Guyu's sister, Lin Lixia.

Lin Guyu's elder sister, Lin Lixia was the most hardworking and good-looking girl in the village. Logically speaking, every man would want to marry a girl like this as their daughter-in-law.

However, the Lin Family was simply too poor.

The Zhao Family brought along three children, Lin Lixia, Lin Guyu and the youngest Lin Xiaohan.

Five years ago, Lin Guyu's father, Lin Shan, was accepted into the army. Lin Guyu's grandmother saw that there were a lot of people in Lin Guyu's family, but there was only one that could work, so she forced Lin Guyu and his family to split up.

Here, a man who marries a wife will also take a fancy to the bride's dowry.

If the dowry of a woman was a bit higher, she would have a lot of face if she married into the male side. However, if the dowry was less, not many people would be willing to marry her.

Two months ago, the of the Chi family from the neighboring village came to propose marriage, and asked for Lin Guyu's older sister, Lin Lixia.

When he heard that the Wulang of the Chi family had a good temper and had cut off all ties with his wife, it was either because she was dissatisfied with her mother-in-law after giving birth to the child, or he directly hit her.

That old granny wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. This incident had become known to everyone.

How could the Chi family tolerate such a wicked wife at home.

Therefore, under the persuasion of the masses, Wulang Chi had abandoned his evil wife.

The Chi family was a relatively wealthy family, but the Chi family's Wulang had previously been married once.

If he were to marry a woman that had already been abandoned, he would feel that there was more or less a problem with that kind of woman.

The mother Mrs. Zhou s of the Wulang Chi thought for a long time before sending someone to the neighboring village to inquire.

That said, he had his eyes on Lin Lixia.

He had a good personality and he looked pretty good. It was just that he was a bit old.

Mrs. Zhou also asked clearly, the reason Lin Lixia did not get married for a long time was because her family was poor.

With Mrs. Zhou's plan, the Lin Family would definitely be more than happy to not object if an ordinary girl were to marry Lin Lixia.

That way, her Lin Clan would have face, as would her son.

The marriage was decided.

Lin Lixia had seen Wulang a few times and was very satisfied with it.

After getting engaged, Wulang would occasionally bring some meat to their home, using it as a toothpick for the Lin Family.
