"It's okay." Chen Zhaozhao comforted, "My parents will definitely support you, but you have to tell them what you have been like in their home for more than three years."
"Hmm~" Chen Ermei hesitated, "I can't say it. I don't dare to tell them."
"Then you tell me?"
Chen Ermei looked at Chen Zhaozhao's clear and moist eyes, with concern and encouragement, she retracted her eyes, lowered her head, and began to talk about her marriage in a low voice.
Her marriage was arranged by Jiang Chunxiu. She originally despised Zhang Dagui, but Zhang Dagui treated her with contempt from the beginning.
On the first day she married into Lao Zhang's family, she was insulted by their family.
The first night of her wedding, the first night of leaving home, was something she would never forget.
Because of the wedding, the old Zhang family held a banquet and the guests dispersed. The villagers should have helped clear away most of the dishes and chopsticks, but the old Zhang family deliberately kept more than half of them for her to clean up alone.
But that day, she was a bride, sitting alone in her bridal chamber for a whole day without a sip of water or a morsel of food.
It was late autumn at that time, and the temperature was high during the day and low at night. She worked alone until midnight. Everyone in the old Zhang family was asleep, and she was locked outside the door of her new house. It was not until dawn that Zhang Dagui's mother Wang Sanqin came.
Knock the door open.
Zhang Dagui, who smelled of alcohol, pulled her in and tortured her until dawn.
Early the next morning, she couldn't get up, so Wang Sanqin scolded her for being lazy and reluctantly gave her a bowl of gruel.
"I didn't eat all day, worked so much, didn't sleep all night, drank a bowl of porridge that was almost like water early in the morning, and almost fainted when I was pulled up to work.
But at the beginning, they didn't dare to torment me too much. Wang Sanqin stopped when he saw that it was almost done, but only gave me two meals a day.
At first I could eat half full and do half the work at home, but later..."
Chen Ermei glanced at Chen Zhaozhao.
Chen Zhaozhao said: "What happened to me?"
Chen Ermei nodded with some difficulty, "Their treatment of me became even worse. In addition, I was never pregnant, so all the work fell on me. I only had a few mouthfuls to eat every meal. Sometimes, when I was no longer alive, they would deliberately look for me to survive."
I was busy until midnight.
Their family either scolded me or hit me. In more than three years, I heard more unpleasant words than in the previous twenty years combined.
But they still act like good people to the outside world and treat me kindly. Don’t you think it’s disgusting?”
"It's so disgusting." Chen Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.
"They tortured me and didn't let me tell my family. I was afraid that my parents would be worried so I endured it. Several times I had to..."
"Second sister, I understand, no need to say anything." Chen Zhaozhao hugged Chen Ermei, "No one will bully you again in the future. We must live well."
"Yes." Chen Ermei nodded with a smile, her expression gentle. She didn't expect that it would not be difficult to say out those things that she thought were difficult to say, nor would it be as uncomfortable as she thought.
On the contrary, I felt that my whole body was relaxed.
"It's all over, it's so good!" She sighed with a smile.
"Yes, it's all over." Chen Zhaozhao nodded. This life passed like this. In the previous life, the second sister experienced even more painful suffering later on. She has to pay back these debts.
The two of them were chatting, and Chen Zhaozhao was walking slowly because he was pretending to be seriously injured. Before they could get out of the side road into Zhao Youchang's house, they saw Zhang Dagui running quickly with a bag of things in his arms.
He ran up to the two of them and put his things on the ground. "I've packed up all your things for you. Don't go to my house again."
After Zhang Dagui said that, he ran away, as if he was afraid that Chen Ermei would regret it and pick up on him again.
When he ran past the meeting room in the village, the aunt who was chatting there called him and asked him what he was doing. He didn't answer and hurried home.
Zhang Dagui's house is located at the front of the village but not at the end of the village. It is far away from Chen Zhaozhao's house in two directions. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk from Chen Zhaozhao's house to their house.
This is also the reason why Chen Dawang and others deliberately keep a distance from Chen Ermei and do not know her true situation.
When they went to work, they always walked to the mountains at the end of the village, and rarely went to the beginning of the village. Coupled with the illusion created by the old Zhang family, Chen Ermei wasted his life without them knowing.
In fact, Chen Dawang and the others also heard some rumors in the village in their previous lives, but when they asked Chen Ermei, Chen Ermei denied it, so they didn't think much about it.
Zhang Dagui was not satisfied with the aunts' gossip. When Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei passed by the conference room, they immediately caught them and asked them.
The weather is very good today. Many men in the village go to the mountains to chop firewood. Women either work at home or go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables or work in their own plots. Only the three laziest and most gossipy aunts in the village are idle in the conference room.
Of course, Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei did not satisfy their gossip, and they did not have the habit of telling their gossip.
They watched Chen Ermei carrying her baggage and helping Chen Zhaozhao walk home, and snorted disdainfully, "She must have been driven back to her parents' home by the old Zhang family. Why should a hen that hasn't laid eggs for three years be left at home?"
"It's just that, it's pity that the old Zhang family married a daughter-in-law like this. I think the daughters of the Chen family will either not be able to give birth to a daughter, or they will only be able to give birth to a girl."
"I think so. Da Mei has been married for four years and still hasn't given birth. There must be something wrong with the girls in their family."
The three aunties pouted and mocked, and while they were chatting, they saw Liu Jiamei coming out.
They quickly called her over and asked her, "Sister Liu, what are Dagui and Ermei doing at your house?"
Liu Jiamei smiled secretly, lowered her voice and said two words that shocked the whole village, "divorce."
"Divorce?" The three aunts were immediately shocked.
This is simply explosive news, more explosive than any previous gossip.
"What's going on? What's going on?" they asked impatiently.
Because of Zhao Youchang's instructions, Liu Jiamei said matter-of-factly: "Ermei wants to divorce Dagui, so they divorced and came to our head to issue a certificate."
"Divorce? Or is Ermei going to get a divorce? Is she crazy? She wants a divorce because she can't have a baby. Does she plan to go home and become a nun?"
"No one will want her like this in the future. She is so embarrassing. How could she do something like this that would bring shame to our ancestors?"
"The girls from their Chen family are really powerful. They can do all kinds of shocking things."
The three aunties were so excited that their voices became shrill.
It is said that when three women perform a show, if the four of them come together, the excitement and range of ideas can be astonishing.
It didn't take long for Chen Ermei and Zhang Dagui's divorce to spread in the village.
The first thought of everyone who heard the news was that Chen Ermei was crazy.
Liu Guihua almost collapsed when she was listening to people talking in the field.
Chen Damei quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, and Chen Xiaoni also looked at her worriedly.
Liu Guihua felt as if the sky was falling and she hurriedly urged, "Da Mei, hurry, hurry, go home and ask."
Chen Damei carried Chen Xiaoni on her back, and the three of them hurried home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei joking in the main room. Liu Guihua's head buzzed, it was over, her daughter had gone crazy again!
