Daughter Zhao Yan'er is one year older than son Zhao Dong. Zhao Yan'er is very beautiful with red lips and white teeth. In the blink of an eye, she doesn't look like a little girl from the countryside. If she wears Lingluo silk and satin, she will look like a rich lady.
Widow Zhao has preferred Zhao Yaner since she was a child. Zhao Yaner has never let Zhao Yaner do the dirty work at home. Zhao Yaner's hands have no calluses at all, and her skin is very white and tender. For this reason, his son Zhao Dong is very fond of Zhao Yaner. The widow was very complaining and often suspected that she was not her mother's biological child.
But later, Zhao Dong gradually stopped being aggrieved. On the contrary, he still tolerated his sister in every possible way. Zhao Yaner felt that his mother and brother were so kind to him, and he was very touched. He felt that he was the happiest person in the world. girl.
As time passed, Zhao Yaner had grown into a 16-year-old girl. According to local customs, 16-year-old girls could already propose marriage. People who came to the Zhao family to ask for marriage had crossed the Zhao family's threshold, but Widow Zhao None of them agreed.
Until one day, Widow Zhao went to the home of Zhou Yuanwai, the richest man in town. Within a few days, Zhou Yuanwai's son came to Zhao's house with a betrothal gift to propose marriage.
Widow Zhao was very happy when she saw the room full of generous betrothal gifts, but Zhao Yan'er was full of worries. Although she was a married woman, she had heard about the reputation of Zhou Yuanwai's son, and heard that his son Zhou Qing was... A dandy boy.
Zhao Yaner originally wanted to refuse the marriage, but seeing the joy on the faces of his mother and younger brother, he felt that he couldn't bear to make their mother and younger brother sad, so he agreed.
In a blink of an eye, the wedding day came. There were gongs and drums beating outside. Zhao Yaner was dressed beautifully and sitting in the room. However, because she got up too early and didn’t eat anything, he felt that her I was very hungry, so I got up and wanted to go to the kitchen next door to find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, before entering the kitchen, she heard the conversation between her mother and her younger brother. The younger brother said happily: "Mom, we have finally waited for this day. From today on, we can also live like rich people." Life."
saw his mother also saying proudly: "That's right, we have raised your sister like a rich lady since she was a child, just so that she can marry into a rich family when she grows up, my silly son. "In the past, you always said that I favored your sister. Look at these betrothal gifts. From now on, they will all belong to you, a silly boy!" After
finished speaking, the mother and son burst out laughing, and Zhao Yaner could really hear it at the door. , but his heart was bleeding at this time. He did not expect that his mother and brother had been kind to her since she was a child, just to sell her to a rich family as a wife.
She ran back to the house in tears, listening to the sound of gongs and drums outside. Thinking about it again, she was about to marry that playboy from the Zhou family. She actually had the idea of committing suicide. She looked at the table He walked over and picked up the scissors, pointed it at his chest, and stabbed it hard.
There was still laughter outside the door, but poor Zhao Yan'er had already fallen into a pool of blood. By the time everyone found out, Zhao Yan'er had already lost her breath, so this young woman died like this.
Widow Zhao was dumbfounded when she saw this scene. The first thing he thought about was not that his daughter had died, but how he could extort another sum of money from Yuan Zhou's family.
Zhou Qing, the son of member Zhou, came in and took a breath. He said angrily: "What on earth is going on?"
Widow Zhao cried and said to Zhou Qing: "It's not because of you. This dandy, my daughter did not want to marry you, so she lost her life. You have to compensate us for the loss, otherwise, this matter will never end."
After he finished speaking, he sat on the ground and cried.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing became angry. He roared at Widow Zhao: "What a damn bad luck, your daughter is dead. What does it have to do with me? Stop fucking around here. "
After finishing speaking, he motioned to his men to take away all the betrothal gifts. Widow Zhao and her son Zhao Dong saw this scene and stepped forward to stop them. However, they still underestimated the cruelty of Zhou Qing, a playboy. Zhou Qing was furious. Then, she asked her subordinates to break both of Zhao Dong's legs. Then she asked her subordinates to take the bride price and return home.
Widow Zhao looked at her son with the broken legs and then at her dead daughter. He felt that she was really good. He lost his wife and lost his army, so he went to the county government to file a complaint. However, he didn't know that he was just an ordinary citizen. How could he compete with the wealthy Zhou Yuanwai? Widow Zhao only stalked her in the end. Zhou Yuanwai just paid some medical expenses.
But his son Zhao Dong became a cripple. Zhao Dong always felt that it was his mother's fault that made him disabled, so he ignored his mother in his later years. Widow Zhao's life was quite miserable. After her daughter died, Zhao Dong also left. He found a job in the town as a temporary worker. Until Widow Zhao passed away, she never went back to see him again. Needless to say, poor people must be hateful.
