Chapter 78 The Truth About Yu Mei's Marriage 2 (She was drugged and forced into a naked marriag
When Grandma Liu had nothing to do, she would invite a few unemployed women to her house to play mahjong. Then, she had planned it in advance. Standing by the mahjong table watching Chen Lixin play, she told Yu Mei that her mother didn't have any change to give to the other mahjong players.
He said he would pay her back tomorrow. Yu Mei only had a few dollars in her pocket to save for her return fare, and she believed he would pay her back.
Then, without hesitation, he took out the only money he had for the fare from his pocket.
But the old lady never returned the money to her, nor did the man.
They wouldn't give up until they returned the money to her, leaving Yang Yumei, who was staying at Zou Laqian's house, without the money for her return journey, with the aim of ensuring she would never return.
Yu Mei had no relatives or friends in this city. The only person she knew was Zou Laxian, who was introduced to her by her. She only knew Zou Laxian, and she didn't even know the heart of Zou Laxian.
Yu Mei had no choice but to grit her teeth and wait for the Chen family's dowry list to arrive, so she could proceed with the normal wedding ceremony. If she stayed without a wedding and lived with the man, wouldn't she be laughed at by her family and the villagers?
The reason they did this was because the city dwellers' economic conditions were too poor. If they followed the normal wedding dowry process for young people, they probably wouldn't have the means.
I had no choice but to resort to crooked methods!
On the third night after staying at Zou Laxian's house, Yu Mei suddenly woke up and felt extremely itchy all over, which was very painful, and she felt dizzy.
She opened her eyes wide and saw that the room had changed drastically. It turned out that this room was not Zou Laxian's room, but Chen Lixin's room.
She endured the pain in her body and sat up abruptly, waking Chen Lixin, who was fast asleep beside her. Then she said angrily, "Get up! You filthy scoundrel! How dare you bully me? I'll go to the compound and report you, and I'll make sure you go to jail."
Chen Lixin immediately woke up and knelt down before him, saying, "Yumei, I'm so sorry. I was stupid. I'm not human. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't sue me. I don't want to go to jail. I beg you, I'm your only son. I'll take care of her in her old age and see her off when she dies."
“I don’t care who you’re taking care of in your old age. I’m asking you, did you drug me? Why am I so dizzy? What did you do to me? Why did I change into pajamas? Wasn’t I sleeping at my aunt’s house? How did I end up at your house? And why am I sleeping on your kang?”
"me,"
"What?! You, you better tell the truth right now. Otherwise, I'm calling the police!"
“Yu Mei, it’s all because I like you so much. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you and I can’t live without you. My family is in a bit of a financial situation. My company, the Second Construction Company of the city, is on holiday. As a junior high school graduate, I can’t find any other job. I have no choice but to wait for the Second Construction Company to open so I can work as a laborer.”
"That's hilarious! You're from a poor family, meaning you can't afford to get married, so you resort to such a despicable trick to deceive me, drugging me so you can get a beautiful wife for free? You're dreaming! I'm leaving you, you filthy man, right now."
After Yu Mei finished speaking, she was about to get out of bed and put on her shoes. She felt dizzy and forced her painful body to move closer to the edge of the kang (heated brick bed). She looked down but did not see a pair of shoes under the edge of the kang on the ground.
"Where did you put my shoes? Are you trying to imprison me? I'd rather die than stay here."
"Yu Mei, where can you go in the middle of the night? Just stay here and live with me. I will definitely treat you well in the future."
"You're dreaming! Do you think I'd live with a despicable person? You drugged me, then took advantage of my vulnerability to get your hands on me. You acted first and asked for my consent later, taking advantage of me so I could live with you in peace? You've got your way, but you're so selfish. How can I face anyone after this? How can I ever go back home to see my family, my friends, my neighbors? You've made me live without face or dignity!" Yu Mei began to sob.
"No, Yumei, this wasn't my intention. My brother-in-law told me to do it. He drugged you without my knowledge. My sister and brother-in-law did it and only told me after they were done. When I heard it, I was very angry and furious, but there was nothing I could do. They put you on my bed, and I couldn't control myself, so I did it to you."
"You're talking nonsense. You're blaming others for your own mistakes. They did what they did, so were the things you did to me later forced upon you by them?"
"I'm asking you, what exactly do you mean? I'm a virgin, and your family can't afford to marry me off. Are you just going to treat me like a widow and let me live like this? Look at the quilt on your bed, it's still new! Whose wedding quilt did you use for me?"
“Yu Mei, this quilt is something we got from someone else who owes us money.”
"Did they use silk quilts to settle debts owed to your family? One red and one green, one pink pillow and one green pillow. Could it be that you were married and then divorced?"
"Yu Mei, you're overthinking it. How could I have been married or divorced?"
"I don't care if you're married or divorced, just give me back the ten-odd yuan I lent your mom for playing mahjong. I'm going home first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Yumei, I'll go to my mom's place when it's light. You go to sleep, I'll go outside for a while."
After Chen Lixin finished speaking, he put on his clothes and went out.
Yu Mei suddenly realized she had been tricked, tricked by the matchmaker Zou Laxian. Why was Zou Laxian helping the man betray her? Was Zou Laxian a human trafficker in disguise?
Did she receive any kickbacks from the Chen family?
Then Yu Mei had a terrible lingering fear. She had just finished her period a few days ago, and he had taken advantage of her. Was there going to be danger for her, that she had been betrayed, and that misfortune would befall her?
Then, regarding her extra fare home, that widow Liu, Chen Lixin's mother, hadn't returned the money she owed. She searched Chen Lixin and found not a single penny. In this unfamiliar city, with no relatives or friends, she was trapped in Chen's family and forced into a naked marriage.
She started vomiting all day long after she found out she was pregnant.
Her belly gradually grew bigger.
Then, from time to time, Widow Liu would secretly rejoice when her son got the better deal, and she would even act innocent after getting the better deal.
Taking advantage of Yu Mei's discomfort, reluctance to move, and lack of desire to do anything, she, who was naturally lazy and now pregnant, stayed at home waiting to be served.
Then, the old woman, Widow Liu, said, "My family doesn't support people who eat for free. Lixin, tomorrow you should have your sister and brother-in-law find Yumei a job operating the winch at the mine."
"Mom, Yumei is pregnant, why is she still going to work?"
"Why can't she go to work just because she's pregnant? When I was pregnant with you, I was still a bus conductor in the city. I still gave birth to you as usual."
"Mom, how can those be the same?"
"How is it different? She's a woman, but your mother is a woman. Do you think I cook for you every day and serve you food every day?"
"Mom, Yumei started cooking for you after she gave birth. Mom, don't worry, I'll cook for you."
"Alright, after she gives birth, she'll have to take care of the baby and cook even more. Look how lazy she is, what kind of person is she?"
Old Mrs. Liu's words enraged the pregnant woman, who was already too tired to speak. She suddenly yelled from the house into the kitchen.
"I'm lazy and I'm willing to be, that's my personality. I wrote about my character, but you still used despicable and shameless means to cheat me out of my travel expenses home, and even drugged me and acted without my consent. If you still dare to act arrogantly towards me after I become your wife, I'll make sure you get rid of the baby in my belly."
