Cannon fodder strategy

Chapter 5
My brother sighed, but couldn't find anything to comfort me for a long time, so he could only say: "I think it's right for you not to marry him. If you have me, I will protect you. I will pay you for compensation. As for your sister ...I think he must have been deceived."

I wiped away my tears and showed him a bright smile: "Thank you brother for supporting me!"

"What a silly girl." My brother smiled and patted me on the back.

Our house is just in front of the col, and we will be there in ten minutes.

The yard is not big, the sticks are full of loofah flowers, there are beans and eggplants in the small vegetable garden, and there are crickets calling in the vegetable field.Everything is the same as in memory, the house is very old, and the yard is a bit messy.

Zhao Qin only thinks about her daughter, and never thinks about how life is going at home.

I slowed down as I reached the door.

Really haven't been back for many years.Since my father died, I have been kicked out, and I haven't been able to take half a step for decades
The yard is quiet, probably everyone is asleep.It can't be seen that there is a daughter married here today, and there is not even a happy word on the door.

The eldest brother said, "Your sister and brother-in-law are also here, saying they are here to attend the wedding. They are in the East Wing. You should go to bed first, and we will talk about it tomorrow morning if you have anything to do."

I nodded, at this time the door of the main room opened, and my dad came out from inside.He should have gone to the yard to go to the bathroom, but he was still the same as I remembered, with gray hair and a haggard face. Even though his daughter got married, he only wore old clothes.

Seeing my dad, I was stunned: "Erni, why are you back?"

"I can't live with Xie Yan. He doesn't like me, and he just married me to get revenge on my sister. They will bully me to death. So I want to divorce him." I said calmly.

I have mixed feelings about my dad. He didn't beat me or scold me, but he never ignored me.He has always turned a blind eye to us children and only lives in his own world.

My dad was silent for a long time, and then sighed; "What a crime! Go back to sleep first, and listen to what your mother has to say tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he went to the backyard, stumbling heavily.

I suddenly felt desolate and anxious. This is my dad. In this life, will I also not be able to get his love?

My brother comforted me: "Our dad has this personality, don't mind it. I was away for half a year, and when I came back this time, our dad didn't see me. He...he also has his own difficulties."

I nodded: "It's okay, Dad didn't kick me out, I'm already satisfied."

My brother persuaded me a few more words and went back to sleep.

I went back to my own house, a house I hadn’t seen for decades. It was as small and dilapidated as I remembered. There were still a lot of sundries in the outhouse, two bags of grain, worn bedding on the kang, and many holes on the mat. .

I lay on the kang, touched the patch on the quilt with my hand, and couldn't tell what it was like. After decades, I could still come back.

I thought I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but in fact I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.

Until I heard the sound of water outside, I knew it was my dad getting up to water the garden.Sit up and get dressed quickly.

Zhao Qin's voice came over: "Keep your voice down! Our daughter and uncle are both at home, and it's hard to sleep late. Why are you waking her up?"

"Well." Dad agreed and continued to water.After a pause, he said, "The little girl said that she couldn't live with Xie Yan. She came back in the middle of the night."

Zhao Qin suddenly became anxious: "How can you do such a shameful thing! I told her to go back quickly, does this bitch not want us to have a peaceful life?"

"No, I won't go back." I opened the door and went out.I saw her eyes of disgust and hatred.

In my previous life, I should have been flustered with fright, wondering what made her unhappy again, but in this life, I am very calm. I have no expectations or feelings for Zhao Qin.

After knowing the truth, I was very sad, but it was also a kind of relief, because she and I are not biological, and I can understand what she does.

She was still the same as at that time, wearing a bright red coat, and she was so fat that the clothes were stretched out of shape, and she was panting when she walked, and she weighed about one hundred and eighty ninety catties.

I've seen photos of her when she was young, and she looks pretty good, otherwise Liu Yaolan and my brother wouldn't be so good-looking.But her husband never cared about her, went out to work and cheated on her, and brought home women and children from outside, Zhao Qin would completely collapse.

She has been a widow since she was in her 20s, and she doesn't work, and her daily life has nothing but food, so it has become like this.

Zhao Qin found that I was not afraid of her, her eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly recovered her disgust: "What are you doing? You know you are not alone, right? You still have brothers and sisters, so you just came back. You let everyone poke the spine of our family, go back quickly."

"But……"

She looked at me very contemptuously: "I don't want to listen to your explanation, since you are married, you are not a child anymore, go back quickly, I don't want to see you!"

My father said: "Ernier is actually not easy..."

"No." Zhao Qin's voice was full of chills: "Shut up."

My dad is silent.

I watched her keep chasing me away, so I laughed: "If it's someone else's house, the daughter will be worried when she returns home on the day of her wedding, but you are just worried that I will lose you. I don't think it's a big deal. Have you been ashamed already?"

Zhao Qin frowned and said, "What did you say?"

"My sister's partner, she didn't want it later, and let me take the top when she divorced. The people in the village talk so badly, you can't hear it. When my sister divorced, you said that although the divorce has a bad reputation, but My sister's life's happiness is the most important thing. Why is it different this time? It's me, not my sister, who is unlucky, so you don't care. "

Zhao Qin raised her hand and punched me: "Why are you talking to your mother like that? Go to their house immediately and admit your mistake!"

"I'm not going, and I'm not wrong." I rubbed my painful chest, walked behind my father and looked at her: "Dad, she lied to me with my sister, that man had broken shoes with women in our village, so My sister just divorced, but because my sister spent too much money from Xie Yan and couldn't pay back the money, she lied to me to get married. That bastard said that she married me to take revenge on our family. If you are really me Father, don't let me go back."

My father was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of my words.

"You talking nonsense!" Zhao Qin rushed over and twisted my ear and pulled it hard. There was a sharp pain in my ear, and I subconsciously pushed her away.

In two lifetimes, this is the first time I have resisted Zhao Qin.Zhao Qin obviously didn't expect that I would resist her, staggered a few steps, and almost sat on the ground.

"Do you still dare to fight back?" Her eyes were full of shock and anger, and she rushed to hit me angrily.

I hid aside, looked at her expression of wanting to tear me apart, and said lightly; "I heard that my brother-in-law is back too? If you don't want to make things too ugly, you'd better not hit me. I don't believe that with so many nonsense, that educated brother-in-law won't care if he finds out."

Zhao Qin's lips moved, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, I won't talk nonsense with you, you go and cook, and your sister and your brother-in-law will wake up in a while."

"I won't go." I said, "Why do I always serve her? Let me have a taste of my sister's craft today."

After I finished speaking, I went back to the house and prepared to wash my face, when I opened the door.There was a sharp pain from behind me, and when I looked back, it was Zhao Qin's iron tongs that hit me hard.My painful tears came down.

Zhao Qin's eyeballs were red with pain, and she swears a lot of swear words, what a bitch, don't see my sister well, stir up shit sticks, trouble ancestors and so on.The voice is not loud, but they are all the most vicious curses. If I heard it in my previous life, I would probably cry, but now I don't feel it at all.

And my dad was already squatting on the side, smoking a cigarette with a sad face, without raising his head, he didn't care about it.

"I asked you to cook for your sister, you are deaf!"

I rubbed my back with one hand, and looked at her calmly: "From today on, I will not serve Liu Yaolan, let alone listen to you."
