The husband is the hunter

Chapter 1

The snow that fell yesterday has not yet melted, and the cold wind blew, and it rustled down from the branches of the jujube trees in the courtyard.

Fang Lin was washing clothes in the yard, and the cracked hole on her hand was painful in the icy water. Her stepmother said that heating hot water in winter cost firewood, and the river was freezing again, so she asked her to wash it from the well. When the water came, I squatted in the yard to wash without even giving me a small bench.

Her father didn't say a word. He was talking in the room with the people from Lijiazhuang next door. The harsh laughter of the stepmother came from inside. Fang Lin pursed her lips, lowered her head and scrubbed the basin fiercely. The clothes, and the scabbed hands that had finally scabbed were torn again when they saw the water, bleeding continuously, as if she didn't see it.

Fang Lin knew that the man from Lijiazhuang came to propose marriage.The stepmother had greeted her in advance, saying that she was old, and it would be difficult to marry if she dragged on. Now Li Erzhuzi of Lijiazhuang asked someone to come and marry her. Although she married to fill the house, she picked up a son for nothing. , and there are no parents-in-law to serve, life is good, and Bao'er is not young anymore, the family must save some money for him to marry a wife.

The words of the stepmother Hu's words seemed to beat Fang Lin with a stick, and everyone in the four miles and eight towns didn't know that Li Erzhuzi of Lijiazhuang was a wife-beater. , Li Erzhuzi is about the same age as Father Fang, and he is also a butcher who kills pigs. He looks scary. There is no big girl in the nearby village who is willing to marry him!
"Father, mother, you two are old, Min'er, Jiao'er, and Bao'er are still young, I don't want to marry, so I will serve you at home." Fang Lin remembered what she had finally summoned up the courage to say last night. I thought that I had made my rejection very obvious, but the stepmother raised her eyebrows and interrupted her immediately, "What do you want to do if you don't get married, you just stay at home and eat for nothing, and the Chinese New Year is almost here , there are so many places to spend money! Our family can’t afford to support a person as big as you, and people will come to your door tomorrow, and a pig as a bride price, how can you find such a good thing! Let me tell you, pack your things quickly Just tidy up and wait to be a bride. By the way, it’s very cold, and I’ve packed all the dishes in the kitchen, so go clean them.”

Fang Lin didn't know whether she should be wronged or sad. She was in her twenties this year, and all the dolls in the village who were about her age ran away all over the place. In the two years when she was just getting married, there were still many people from Fangfang's family who came to propose marriage. , but the stepmother said that the dowry was too small, that the character was not good, and none of the young men in the whole village could catch her eyes. Everyone in the village praised the stepmother for caring about the girl left behind, but Fang Lin knew that the stepmother was so kind. It was because she was afraid that if she got married, there would be no work for the family. She was counting on her father to say something, but Father Fang was a dull gourd, and he couldn't make a sound with three sticks. Drag her into a 20 year old lady.

This time, Fang Lin didn't count on her father at all.

Fang Min came out of the room, his small face was full of worry, "Sister, my father wants to marry you to Li Erzhuzi, you can't agree! That woman has no good intentions at all, and she doesn't want to make it easier for us."

The clothes that had just been hung to dry on the bamboo poles immediately froze hard. Fang Lin breathed into the palm of her hand, and when she felt it, she touched her sister's face.

She went to her mother's house that morning and gave birth to three children. In addition to her and 13-year-old Fang Min, there is also a 15-year-old Fang Li. Li's sister is weak, and her stepmother thinks her medicine costs money, so she can't keep her at home. She worked, and as soon as she was old, she randomly found a family and married her off.
