Zhou Jianhai's cousin's surname was Chen, and because she ranked eighth, she got the name Chen Bamei.

Don't think this name is casual, it's much better to call it than the older sisters above her. Because her eldest sister was the first child in the family, she barely got a decent name, Xinghua. But it didn't work from the second sister, from Zhao Di Pandi all the way down, to Lao Liulai Di, and finally a younger brother was recruited.

Because there is an elder brother above her, Chen Bamei didn't have the word Di in her name after she was born. But the Chen family has many daughters, and has a precious son in front of her. Her little daughter is not very valued at home. She doesn't have a serious name when she is four or five years old.

After calling it for a long time, Bamei became her name, and she did not change her account after logging in.

It is conceivable that in such a family, the son is a treasure, while the daughter is not even a grass.

Unlike her brother, who had the best food and best clothes since she was born, Chen Bamei drank gruel since she was a child, and wore old clothes that her brother had replaced with patches, even if they were of different genders.

When her brother went to school with her schoolbag on her back, Chen Bamei had already learned how to do laundry, cook, raise chickens and feed ducks. When she was a little older, when she was seven or eight years old, she started to earn work points like her sisters.

If it was just like this, Chen Bamei might not have run away from home. After all, in this era, most families have different sons and daughters.

It's just that most people, even if they prefer sons to daughters, will not disregard their daughter's life or death. At least in marriage, they will try to choose a better husband for their daughter.

But Chen Bamei's parents are not like this. The husband they choose for their daughter depends on the family situation at the time and the level of the betrothal gift.

If life at home was good at that time, and what was good here mainly depended on whether it could meet the needs of the precious son, and if the bride price was almost the same, they would also be willing to choose a decent husband for their daughter.

But if the family needed money at that time, they wouldn't be able to control that much. As long as the betrothal gift was high, it didn't matter whether the betrothed was good or bad, whether the healthy or the handicapped, they could all nod their heads.

Chen Bamei's six sisters, except for the first two sisters who were married because they were young and didn't have much money to spend when they said they were married, only her fourth sister was rejected by the team next door because of her good looks. The secretary's son was in love with him and was willing to pay a high betrothal gift, so he married well.

The remaining three sisters, one caught up with the baby pimple Xiaoshengchu, was married to a second marriage, and the old shígG Dujia caught up with the family to renovate the house, and was married to a lame man with inconvenient legs. Her sixth sister was the worst, saying that she wanted to go to the city when she was kissing her baby, but was married to a fool for the sake of her relationship.

Of course, Chen Bamei is not much better. Although she is not of marriageable age, who made the baby bump into a girl? For her son's dowry, Chen Bamei was married before she turned eighteen.

The other party's condition seems to be good on the surface, he comes from a cadre family, and he is also a regular worker in a state-owned factory. And she was not a few years older than Chen Bamei, only twenty-five. Although she had been married once, her previous marriage lasted only one year before her ex-wife died. The two had no children, which was similar to a first marriage.

Chen Bamei didn't think much about it at first, she thought she was hit by a pie, but as soon as the marriage was settled, someone came to the door, saying that her partner was violent, and his ex-wife couldn't get a divorce because she couldn't stand his beating. I drank pesticides and died.

At first, Chen Bamei still refused to believe it, because it was the family of her ex-wife who told her about it.

But she is not stupid. She sees how the sisters are married. Besides, she is neither as capable as the eldest sister, nor as beautiful as the fourth sister, and still has a rural household registration. Why should a state-owned factory be a regular worker and spend so much money to marry her?

After thinking about it clearly, Chen Bamei already believed it by seven or eight points in her heart, but she still had some thoughts and did not dare to tell her parents. She secretly went to the fourth sister's house and asked her for help.

Although her fourth sister had a strong temper, because her parents didn't treat their daughters as human beings, they had broken up with them long ago. But he still felt sorry for his sister. After listening to her request, he immediately called her husband home and asked him to go to the commune next door to inquire about the situation.

As a result, Chen Bamei's heart was completely cold when she inquired.

Her partner's ex-wife really couldn't stand beatings and drinking pesticides and committed suicide.

Her partner actually worked in the commune. After the incident, his ex-wife's family sued him, but because his ex-wife died of pesticide drinking, not from beatings, he had nothing to do with him, but was transferred from an agency to a state-owned factory. .

After being transferred to the state-owned factory, his temper has been restrained a lot. After a long time, everyone gradually forgot about it, until he got a partner in the unit.

When they first met their partner, the two were fine, but people can pretend for a while, but they can't pretend for a lifetime. Once the two had an argument, he slapped each other when he got angry.

The person he was dealing with was also spoiled by the family. After being beaten, he refused to do it and wanted to break up with him.

The result became more and more violent, and eventually turned into a one-sided beating.

The girl was beaten with a broken bone, and the family was not popular, so they sued him again. At the same time, his nearly forgotten past was also revealed.

In the end, it was his parents who came forward to settle the matter.

But things were settled, and they were worried about their increasingly violent son. Worrying and worrying, I plan to tell him about the marriage.

They always feel that their son was good before, and he will become what he is now because the first daughter-in-law did not marry well. Maybe marry him a good wife and have another son, and he will improve.

But after these incidents, his reputation has long been stinky. Anyone in the commune who cares for their daughter, seeing the matchmaker they hired, the first reaction is to beat them out.

After hitting a wall several times, they had to bow their heads and search for the surrounding countryside.

After searching, I found Chen Bamei.

At first, Chen Bamei thought that maybe her parents didn't know about it, maybe after she went home and said it, they would agree to quit the family. As a result, she was scolded by her fourth sister as soon as she said it, saying that if she had this idea, she would go back as soon as possible and burn a few more incense sticks, begging Lord Yan to take this scourge as soon as possible before she was beaten to death.

Hearing this, Lin Wei couldn't help but say, "Her fourth sister is very interesting."

Deng Xiangyun nodded and said, "Yes, I heard what she said. It seems that her fourth sister has been smart since she was a child, but the family patronized her son and did not allow her to study."

"Even if she doesn't study, she has such a brain, and her life won't be too bad." Lin Wei asked again, "Then why did Chen Bamei come to you?"

"Speaking of which, this idea was given by her fourth sister."

Fourth Sister Chen, also known as Chen Niandi, after scolding her sister, she softened her tone and said, "If you want to find out if they know about this, go back and don't say it outright." When she came up with an idea, let her take a look first, Don't be foolish enough to sell yourself.

Although Chen Bamei's brain is not as bright as her sister's, she is better at being obedient. After going back for such a test, she completely stopped counting on them.

It turned out that her parents not only knew that the man forced his ex-wife to death, but also asked for a lot of dowry gifts. As for her wanting to withdraw from the marriage, their attitude can basically be summed up in two words - no way!

Chen Bamei was desperate.

But she didn't want to accept her fate, and she knew that she was not smart enough, so she went to the fourth sister again, and wanted to ask her for help to come up with an idea.

"Fourth Sister Chen's idea is to send her to you?" Lin Wei felt a bit of a problem after asking, and said, "No, you need a letter of introduction to travel by car and stay at the store. She is a girl who comes from a long way, and their team leader Can she notify her parents to open a letter of introduction? And if they do, her parents know that she is going to run away from the marriage, and can they let her out?"

Deng Xiangyun nodded and said, "The idea was from Fourth Sister Chen, and she and her husband also wrote the letter of introduction. They told the leader of the Eight Sisters' family that she called Ah Hai to tell her about the Eight Sisters and sent the Eight Sisters here. The island is his decision, he is just afraid of being blocked by his parents, so he has to hide it and let him make it easier."

Lin Wei couldn't believe it: "The leaders of their brigade didn't confirm anything, so they believed what they said?"

"Sister Chen's husband is in the same brigade as Ah Hai's family, and her father-in-law is the brigade secretary." Deng Xiangyun explained, "Her husband is the eldest son in the family, and he is a team leader in the brigade."

Lin Wei suddenly realized that if only the eight sisters Chen Bamei asked for a letter of introduction, even if the fourth sister Chen pulled the banner of the secretary father-in-law, their brigade leaders would not necessarily believe her words. But with her husband as the endorsement, the situation is different.

On one side are the members of this brigade, and on the other are the secretary of the brigade next door, the team leader, and a camp instructor. A fool knows how to choose.

Lin Wei sighed again: "This Fourth Sister Chen is a person."

After sighing, Lin Wei asked again, "Fourth Sister Chen sent her here just to ask you to find a partner for her?"

Lin Wei didn't ask Chen Bamei why she couldn't find a partner in her hometown. There was no need to ask. She was a person who had a relationship before, and her partner was the leader of the commune next door. How could ordinary people dare to marry her?

Unlike ordinary people, why did you marry Chen Bamei?

Even if she is really stupid and daring, she doesn't care that Eighth-Mei Chen has a tricky marriage. With her parents' cold-bloodedness, she can easily let them go when she sees the high-dollar betrothal gift flying away?

impossible.

Staying in her hometown, Chen Bamei has nowhere to go.

"Almost," Deng Xiangyun nodded, "After asking about the situation in the morning, Ah Hai called Fourth Sister Chen, and she said that if possible, please let us find a way to tell her about the marriage on the island."

Fourth Sister Chen's original words are as follows: "The conditions don't need to be very good. Be honest and work hard. I don't mind if she has no father or mother. It's enough to have a marriage before. Anyway, it's better to die than live."

It was Zhou Jianhai, who was speechless for a while after hearing Fourth Sister Chen's sturdy "no father and no mother".

Lin Wei was also silent for a moment, before she remembered and asked, "She escaped from the marriage, so the other party can just let it go? What if they come over? Will it implicate your old Zhou?"

"Don't worry about that family, their son is not innocent, so he doesn't dare to come over with a big fanfare. As for the parents of the eighth sister, they have never been out of the county in their entire life, so the chances of finding him are not high. And even if they find it, it's fine, the eighth sister is I came here with a letter of introduction that states visiting relatives."

Chen Bamei took a letter of introduction from the Chen family's brigade, and found it with fairness. Deng Xiangyun and his wife were at best kind-hearted to take her in. It's useless for Chen Bamei's parents to be angry.

Chen Bamei herself doesn't have to worry too much. If her parents come now, they can ask them to withdraw from the marriage on the grounds that Chen Bamei is underage.

It would be better if Chen Bamei was an adult when they came. As an adult, you have the right to decide whether you want to stay or go. As for the marriage that was set before, you can also reject it on the grounds that it is a new society and it is about freedom of marriage. , My hometown is a small place, no one cares about it, but it is different when I come to the army.

Hearing the meaning of Deng Xiangyun's words, Lin Wei asked, "Have you already decided to keep Eighth Chen?"

Deng Xiangyun snorted and said: "I have discussed with Ah Hai, let her live in our house first, and say that she is here to visit relatives. When she is an adult, I will see whether to tell her about marriage or entrust someone to her. Settle down and earn work points.”

Chen Bamei is not a member of the military, so she can't get the collective households of the army to eat commercial food, so she can only find a way to get it to the surrounding brigade.

But she is a girl who is not yet an adult, and she is not an educated youth in the countryside. Even if she has a cousin, it will not be easy to settle in the surrounding brigade. Not to mention marriage, she is too young to get married even if it is decided now.

Moreover, Deng Xiangyun privately still wanted to wait for Chen Bamei's marriage to become obsolete, and then go to tell her about her marriage, otherwise, when the time comes, it will become unreasonable.

Let's talk about it next year.
