Chapter 29 Kidnapped Marriage
"Xiaomei, don't leave, mom can't bear to leave you!"
"mom……"
The two cries came from the entrance of a courtyard wall made of adobe not far away, surrounded by several villagers watching the excitement on the inside and outside.
Li Yuanlang took the lead and found a relatively high place where Jin Sheng could see clearly.
He and Xiao Wang stood beside Jin Sheng on the left and right, standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks to look into the crowd.
At the entrance of the courtyard, I saw a girl wearing a Chinese wedding dress, with delicate features and no more than 16 or 17 years old. She was held by two sturdy men, her delicate body struggling to move.
Less than five meters in front of the girl, a woman in her forties collapsed on the ground, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. She raised one hand and cried to the girl with tears streaming down her face: "Xiaomei, don't go, Mom."
Don’t want you to leave!”
At this moment, a wealthy middle-aged woman who was probably over fifty years old came over. She stood in front of the woman with her waist pinched, and said arrogantly: "I said Xiaomei's mother, you owe Party Secretary Fan 30,000 yuan. Party Secretary Fan
Your Excellency, seeing that your family is facing difficulties, not only canceled the debt, but also gave your family a gift of 10,000 yuan. Where can I find such a good thing?"
Xiaomei's mother grabbed the woman's thigh and cried, "Aunt Li, Xiaomei is only sixteen. Fan Tao is a fool. Xiaomei will suffer a loss by marrying him."
"Mom... I don't want to get married, I want to go to school..." The girl named Xiaomei also burst into tears. However, no matter how hard she struggled, she seemed powerless under the big iron pliers of the two tough men.
and helpless.
Aunt Li comforted Xiaomei and her mother: "You are really confused. Fan Tao is a bit stupid. But Party Secretary Fan is rich and powerful. He has already bought a building for Xiaomei, Fan Tao and others in the county. From now on, Xiaomei will be a city resident."
.And if Xiaomei marries a popular person and enjoys happiness for the rest of her life, what else can't you think of?"
Immediately, she said to the two sturdy men: "Big naughty two naughty girls, hurry up and get the bride into the car. Party Secretary Fan will be unhappy if we miss the time."
Da Nao and Er Nao agreed, lifted up the thin Xiaomei and got into a Mercedes-Benz sedan not far away with red balloons tied on it. Aunt Li walked a few steps quickly and got into the black Audi at the back. Before entering, she greeted the villagers who were watching the fun.
He raised his hands and shouted: "Everyone, please don't forget to go to Party Secretary Fan's house for a wedding banquet soon. If you don't have the guests, the gift money will also come, so don't make Party Secretary Fan angry."
Immediately afterwards, the Mercedes-Benz took the lead, followed closely by the Audi, followed by seven or eight cars, and drove away in a mighty manner.
Looking at the dusty motorcade, the villagers watching the excitement were pointing and talking. In fact, from the conversation between Aunt Li and Xiaomei just now, Li Yuanlang and the others had a rough idea. When they asked the villagers around them, it turned out that Xiaomei's family had borrowed it.
Party secretary Fan Haicheng couldn't pay 30,000 yuan, so he used Xiaomei to pay off the debt and married Fan Haicheng's only son, Fan Tao, as his wife.
Xiaomei, a 16-year-old girl who was in bloom, was forced to get married. The tragic story of Huang Shiren and Xi'er in the new era was staged. Jin Sheng's face was ashen and his whole body was shaking with anger.
"Asshole, this is so outrageous." Jin Sheng couldn't help but cursed, causing the old villager who had just rushed over to watch the fun to remind him: "Comrade, you must not say that, if Party Secretary Fan hears it, you will be in trouble.
, can’t even leave the village.”
"How capable is your Party Secretary Fan, so domineering?" Li Yuanlang interrupted and asked.
"Zhishu Fan is the king of heaven in our village. He is rich and powerful. That Mercedes-Benz is his family car. He has more than ten young people as helpers. Anyone who offends him will be beaten at least and beaten at worst.
I'll send you to the prison, and you won't be able to get out without losing everything."
The old man's words were by no means pretentious, the facts in front of him had already explained everything. Jin Sheng, Li Yuanlang and Xiao Wang were all filled with righteous indignation, how could they sit idly by and watch?
Jin Sheng strode to Xiaomei's mother, while Li Yuanlang slowly helped her up. Her daughter was taken away alive, but she was helpless. She was a mother. She had been humiliated, and her tears had long since dried up. Her anger turned into flames. She looked at
He walked towards the direction of the motorcade and gritted his teeth and said: "Fan Haicheng, if Xiaomei is bullied, you will die a good death, and your whole family will not end well."
This was the most vicious curse. The onlookers shook their heads and sighed, glanced at Xiaomei's mother, and left helplessly.
Only the old man didn't leave. Instead of sighing, he expressed sympathy and started talking smoothly: "Xiaomei's father was paralyzed in bed and had no money to treat his illness, so he borrowed 8,000 yuan from the branch secretary at a loan shark. The interest has been compounded over the years.
When his son reached 30,000 yuan and had no money to repay his debts, the party secretary forced Xiaomei’s mother to use Xiaomei as his daughter-in-law. What’s the point of having a wife for a fool like Fan Tao? It’s not like he’s getting an advantage over the party secretary, an old widower!”
"Stop talking!" Xiaomei's mother couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly when she heard the truth.
Jin Sheng was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly and said comfortingly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely take care of Xiaomei's affairs, and we will definitely bring her back to you intact."
"Who are you?" Xiaomei's mother wiped away tears and looked at Jin Sheng and the others in surprise.
When the old man saw this, he rushed over and introduced him: "They are merchants from other places who come to do business with us."
The glimmer of light that originally rose in the woman's eyes was extinguished when she learned the identities of Li Yuanlang and the others. She shook her head in disappointment and said: "It's useless, you can't control this matter."
"Old sister-in-law, our boss Jin is true to his word. Don't be too sad. Just wait at home and we will find someone for you right now!"
After learning the address of Fan Haicheng's home from the old man, Li Yuanlang took the lead, followed closely by Jin Sheng and Xiao Wang, and walked quickly towards Fan Haicheng's home.
Fan Haicheng's house is located at the highest point in the village. It is an elegant two-story small foreign-style building. The yard is covered with tarpaulin, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, making it very lively.
Er Nao, who was standing at the door, was eating melon seeds. When he saw Li Yuanlang and his entourage, who were well-dressed and distinguished, he stepped forward and asked politely: "Are the three cadres from the town? Have you brought an invitation?"
Li Yuanlang nodded: "We are here to attend Party Secretary Fan's son's wedding. We forgot the invitation in the car. How about we go back and get it for you?"
"No, no need." Er Nao waved his hands repeatedly: "I see that you are big cadres, so there is no need for you. I will inform the Party Secretary right away."
"Let's go find him ourselves, just tell me where he is." Li Yuanlang waved his hand.
Ernuo pointed to the inside of the small building and said flatteringly: "The party secretary is attending a ceremony in the living room on the first floor. Please come in."
The three of them were not polite and walked through the courtyard to the small building.
The first floor is very spacious and the decoration is luxurious. On the small platform set up in the main hall, there is a middle-aged man in his fifties sitting. He has a chubby face and dark hair, and his hair is messy like a brood chicken. He is dressed in light gray.
The suit and tie look similar to a red scarf, which is a bit nondescript and very funny.
In front of him, stood Xiaomei, who was in tears. The one holding the big red flower was an ugly man with small eyebrows and small eyes. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looking at the bride, he kept giggling.
No need to guess, the one sitting there should be Fan Haicheng, and the ugly man is his silly son Fan Tao.
Behind the bride and groom, there were about ten or twenty people standing. It is estimated that Fan Haicheng was worried that his silly son would make a joke, so he did not allow more people to attend the wedding ceremony. These may be his relatives and direct descendants.
Aunt Li looked at everyone, mentioned the inherent crispness of the matchmaker, and said: "The auspicious time has come, and the wedding ceremony of Chen Xiaomei and Fan Tao will begin now."
"Okay." There were cheers and a burst of applause from the crowd.
"Invite the bride and groom to worship heaven and earth. One bow is to heaven and earth, and one bow is to respect heaven. They are a match made in heaven. The second bow is to respect loess, and they will tie the knot. The third bow is to respect heaven and earth, and earth will last forever. The second bow is to the high hall, and the first bow is to respect parents, as a matter of flesh and blood.
, love is like the East Sea; bow twice, thank your parents for their kindness in raising you, their kindness is as heavy as a mountain; bow three times, wish your parents a happy family and a long life."
Then, Aunt Li asked the newlyweds to turn around and said to the crowd below: "Three bows to the guests, one bow to thank the distinguished guest for coming; two bows to thank relatives and friends, and to celebrate in the hall; three bows to thank the neighbors, and congratulations
."
It was really obvious that this was a kidnapped marriage. The silly boy Fan Tao was ordered by the big naughty boy to bow, and he made mistakes several times. The bow turned into a dog-eat-dog, almost fell over, and made a lot of fools of himself. But Chen Xiaomei let the two of them do it.
A woman held her neck before bowing.
Aunt Li didn't care about this, and continued with the words she presided over the ceremony: "The following is the husband and wife's worship..."
