text: Ximei Picture: From the Internet
at one o'clock in the morning Xiumei sat on the messy ground, wanting to cry without tears.
Her man just searched all the house, and he could fall and smash it, until he could get two hundred yuan under the pillow.
was quite thoughtful to hide and was dug out. Xiumei rushed up regardless of the situation, but she was not the man's opponent. The man flashed lightly and pushed, and Xiumei stumbled on the ground.
She wanted to get up and continue to fight with him. The man's eyes trembled and his face showed a fierce look. Xiumei's courage to take it off instantly disintegrates.
The man stepped over her proudly and trotted straight to the gambling den at the east end of the town. This is the place he has been visiting for the past six months. He is still reluctant to give up on his family’s money and plunders from Xiumei every few days.
Xiumei curled into the quilt and closed her eyelids heavily. Her body shivered under the quilt. Her despair was filled with sleepiness, which made her fallen into a deep dream in a short while.
In my dream, it was the dilapidated earthen house in my hometown, it was the mother's swollen eyes; it was the father's heavy sigh; it was the ten stacks of cash taken out by Gangzi with a smile on his face; it was the younger brother's kneeling and begging; it was Yongqi's hard letting go...
The next day, Xiumei got up before dawn. She carefully pulled out a hundred yuan from her socks, asked for leave from the supermarket owner, stuffed a few clothes and slipped out of the house.
When Xiumei arrived at her parents' home, her father, her brother and sister-in-law were sitting around the kang for dinner.
Xiumei's mother saw Xiumei coming back depressedly, she poked her head out and looked around for a long time, "Why are you back alone? Where is Gangzi?"
Xiumei threw the package on the kang, "Dad, mother, I'll come back and let you know, I'm going to divorce Gangzi..."
Before she finished her words, everyone was shocked.
Xiumei's father said angrily: "Where is this? He received a 100,000 betrothal gift from others, and then divorced. Isn't this a broken bridge across the river?"
My younger brother comforted his sister-in-law who was about to jump, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, sister, I just married a wife. Once you divorce your brother-in-law, he doesn't care about my money going back."
Xiumei was extremely heartbroken. She rolled up her sleeves and rolled up her trouser legs sadly, and purple marks on her snow-white skin were exposed. "Gangzi not only gambled, he also hit me. He also beat me!"
Her mother started crying suddenly. Her father gave her a fierce look. Her mother's crying sound stuck in her throat and coughed.
"Which man doesn't hit a woman a few times when he is anxious? What's the point? Don't all the women here come here like this." Dad sucked his puff and said disapprovingly.
My sister-in-law's face darkened and she shook her face to warn her brother, if you dare to go to my house to ask for the bride price, I will leave you immediately.
The younger brother was depressed and said stutteringly, "Sister, don't worry, I will call my brother-in-law, I...I will scold him. I will reason with him. No matter what, it will be wrong for him to call you."

The younger brother's phone call worked. Gangzi reviewed the other end and said that he would come to pick Xiumei up and go home in person two days.
Everyone was obviously relieved and gently persuaded Xiumei to give Gangzi a step.
originally wanted to divorce Gangzi with his family's support, but unexpectedly, his family became a resistance instead. Xiumei knew to stay unintentionally, but there was a light in her heart that made her reluctant to leave.
That morning, Xiumei walked along a stream in front of the door and unknowingly arrived at the door of Yongqi's house.
Yongqi's yard door is open, and laughter comes from time to time in the room. She pricked up her ears and heard the cheerful voice of Aunt Fourth. Yongqi was a good kid, so it was absolutely right to follow him.
This sound was like a gust of wind blowing on Xiumei's bitter heart, shattering the only hope in her heart. She realized that the person in the room is now close to her and far away from her.
It would be great if Yongqi could have given a 100,000 yuan gift!
At that time, my sister-in-law's family issued an ultimatum. If her family could not give a 100,000 yuan gift, my sister-in-law would have to marry someone else.
Parents have always favored boys over girls. They also became anxious when they saw their younger brother's bitterness and revenge. Gangzi happened to come to recommend himself at this time. He threw the ten stacks of red tickets in his arms on the kang. His parents and brothers were grateful and kowtowed and thanked him on the spot.
They nodded desperately to Gangzi's proposal to marry his daughter. He completely ignored him as a notorious gangster in the town.
Parents don’t care whether Xiumei is willing or not, and directly asked her to prepare for marriage next month.
Xiumei went to find Yongqi. At that time, they were young couples who were in love.
Two people hugged their heads and cried for a long time, and Xiumei resolutely asked Yongqi to take her to elope. Yongqi was silent for a long time and spoke hard. I couldn't let go of my mother. She was paralyzed by the bed and was the only relative. I left. What should she do?
The next day Xiumei was placed under house arrest by her parents.
She is like a difficult problem, they used all the people who can be used to overcome her; she is like a good medicine, as if only she can help her; she is also like a puppet, this father and mother dragging her hard, and the other Yongqi finally couldn't bear to force her, so she chose to accept her fate.
In this way, she helped the whole family and let herself down. I thought Gangzi would cherish her parents' money and win her as a village flower. As a result, after only half a year of marriage, his true form of drinking, gambling, and beating women was revealed.
The plan for divorce is not a day or two, but Xiumei dare not mention it. Her family asked someone to give the gift of 100,000 yuan to her sister-in-law. This was a huge amount of money in the countryside at that time, and she couldn't block the hole of this huge amount of money.
She can only ask for help from her family. It was just that her family’s indifference and selfishness made her understand that she could only rely on herself for divorce from Gangzi.
After dinner that day, Yongqi, who had not visited for a long time, suddenly came. Xiumei's father was anxious to find a broom to chase him, and his younger brother and sister-in-law stood on both sides of Xiumei like a door god.
Yongqi didn't look at them, and he said to Xiumei, come out.
The two of them walked out of the yard one after another, and Xiumei's father was worried that he would send his younger brother to follow him.
The old locust tree at the entrance of the village was where they once dated. Now standing under the tree, there is a sense of desolation that things change.
"I heard you are back, I'll come and see, are you doing well?" After not seeing you for half a year, Yongqi has obviously lost weight, and there is a hint of vicissitudes and haggardness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Xiumei did not answer and asked, "You are on a blind date, isn't the girl good?"
"Well, you are a very good person. She is a distant relative of Aunt Fourth. She doesn't dislike me for being poor or my mother."
"I don't look like me, I just marry for the bride price." Xiumei smiled mockingly.
"No, I didn't mean that." Yongqi waved his hand in a hurry.
"It doesn't matter, it's like this..."
.........
A long silence.
Xiumei glanced at her younger brother who was hiding in the dark, "It's time for me to go back, I wish you and that girl happiness."
"Mei'er..." Xiumei stopped, tears fell down. How long has it been since I heard such a kind call.
"Can I hug you again in the end?"
She raised her head and met his affectionate eyes and nodded.
Yongqi took a step forward and hugged her tightly into her arms. The air was the fragrance of wheat fields and the land, and Yongqi's fresh and rapid breathing.
In just a moment, he let her go.
Forgive me for being cowardly, forgive me for being unable to take you with me. We all carried too much and lived a heavy life.
If he can give you happiness and help your family, then my exit is worth it.
Xiumei looked at the familiar back shrinking little by little until it disappeared. She stubbornly bit her lips, not letting tears pour down.

3 days later, Gangzi came as promised in Xiumei's family's expectations. He was still arrogant when facing Xiumei's family.
Xiumei's father looked at his eyes and said a few words symbolically, and then rushed to ask Xiumei to go back with him.
Xiumei said to Gangzi, I finally came back, please stay with me for a few more days.
On this day, as soon as Gangzi entered the yard, he picked up a wooden stick and acted as if he wanted to beat Xiumei.
Xiumei's parents and their younger brother rushed up to grab him.
It turned out that Gangzi was wandering around the village for nothing, and listened to the past of Xiumei and Yongqi. What's more, it was reported that they had a secret meeting under the old locust tree two days ago.
Gangzi was furious and cursed that Xiumei had cuckolded him and asked their family to give him an explanation.
Xiumei's father kept explaining that they were fine at all, and Xiumei's younger brother kept following him when he went out that day. There is nothing, don't listen to others gossip.
Xiumei's younger brother nodded like pounding garlic. Yes, my sister and Yongqi are innocent. If you don't believe me, ask my sister. Everyone's eyes gathered on Xiumei's face. Xiumei smiled and said, yes, I will have sex with Yongqi, what should I do?
Gangzi slapped over, and a bloody slap immediately oozed from the corner of Xiumei's mouth. The villagers watching the fun surrounded the wall.
Xiumei's father cried and snatched the world. Oh, why did I give birth to such a shameless daughter?
Xiumei sneered, I'm not cheap, I even sold it for 100,000 yuan.
Gangzi grabbed Xiumei's father's collar and asked him to pay for it. After a while, he felt that the money was given to her brother, so he grabbed her brother's collar.
money can't be taken out, so I don't want my daughter who forced her to leave. The family looked at me and I looked at you, and finally scolded Xiumei resentfully.
At this time, Yongqi opened the crowd and walked in, holding four stacks of banknotes in his hand. Gangzi's eyes lit up, and he saw that the person who came was the "adulterator". He was about to wave the stick, but Yongqi grabbed it tightly.
"This is 40,000 yuan, all my belongings. Now I will give it to you, you and Xiumei will divorce."
"Bah, I think beautifully. I spent 100,000 yuan to marry me. If you want to send me 40,000 yuan, I have no way!"
"That's all the money for the time being. I'll write you the IOU and pay it back within three years."
"No, I have interest on the bank with 100,000 yuan."
"No, forget it, Xiumei is going to divorce you anyway, and you may not get the 100,000 yuan in court."
Gangzi hesitated for a moment, "Then I can't give you the price!"
Both sides were in a stalemate.
Gangzi will never divorce. He wants money and he also wants people.
Yongqi was not anxious either. He slowly took out a note and shook it in front of Gangzi's eyes. Gangzi's face changed drastically. He quickly glanced from the crowd, and then obediently agreed to Yongqi.
You can get divorced if you marry, and you can get him a penny of 100,000 yuan.
Yongqi agreed and wrote an IOU to Gangzi in front of everyone.

Half a year later, Yongqi and Xiumei came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the sunlight lazily hit their smiling faces. The two of them held a red notebook in their hands. Yongqi looked in the sun silly and silly, as if they could never see enough.
Xiumei remembered the joy of her family when she and Gangzi got married. Now that they are getting married again, they are the only two of them celebrating.
However, she was not regretful at all, but instead became much more relaxed. If family affection is just a bondage of interests, she would rather not have such family affection.
Yongqi touched her head docilely. He knew that she was deliberately leaving Gangzi in the village and deliberately letting those rumors about them pour into Gangzi's ears.
That's right, she just wanted to involve him.
If Yongqi told her that night that he didn't love her, she would let him go.
However, his last hug that night was clearly unfinished. The reluctance in his eyes was clearly telling her that he could not let her go.
She and Gangzi have been married for more than half a year. He didn't have a blind date late or early, but he just looked at the blind date the day after she came back.
She just wants to force him to the end. If he shows up that day, they will have a chance, and if he escapes, she will never be entangled.
She bet he would show up, and he really showed up.
What did you show Gangzi that day? Gangzi's face turned green.
is a loan quota.
Xiumei has been married for more than half a year, and suddenly she ran back to her parents' home alone in a daze. Yongqi felt something was wrong. He inquired about her life with an acquaintance and indeed confirmed his guess - Xiumei was not happy.
Watching her getting married and watching her family happily, he thought she was happy too. After all, compared to his poverty, Gangzi's family has a strong family in the town.
That day, he heard the quarrel at her house. He ignored his mother's dissuasion and insisted on helping her, which made him finally re-examine his heart.
Coincidentally, I happened to meet someone asking him about the address of Gangzi’s father-in-law’s house. He cleverly found out the man's purpose and promised to pay the loan shark for Gangzi.
The debtors are blocked at the doorstep, and Gangzi is still greedy for money and people.
Then he will help him make a decision, a scary loan shark and a villain's face are enough to defeat him. If you want your life or your wife, choose your own choice.
Yongqi said that if I hadn't paid back the money for him that day, the Ultimate group would have to ruin him.
Xiumei said with a smile, you can...
After experiencing these, they can finally run towards their new life.
