Chapter 121 Chen Shuning learns that Liu Gui and Han Mei are married
Chen Shuning did not answer and continued:
"Those buyers would force them to get pregnant and give birth. If they resisted, they would be severely beaten! If the baby was a boy, it would be better.
If it's a daughter... what awaits them is even darker days, repeated torture, until a boy is born...
Some buyers even just want children, and when the victim gives birth to a boy, they will sell him to someone else..."
This topic was too heavy. The smiles on the faces of the people in the room gradually faded, and everyone had a stern look on their faces. It was obvious that they had never expected that people could encounter such things...
Even the usually cheerful Chen Erlai frowned for once and cursed, "Bah! Those kidnappers are truly inhuman! If I were to meet them, I would definitely give them a good beating!"
The atmosphere became solemn. Chen Shuning smiled bitterly and said, "So, everyone must be more careful! Don't trust others easily!"
"Tsk tsk! This is too scary!" Yang Fengxia exclaimed, "They simply don't treat us female comrades as human beings!"
Chen Shuning responded, "In the eyes of kidnappers, we women are commodities, commodities that can be bought and sold! And children, they kidnap them too!"
"Boys will be sold to remote areas and become sons for those who cannot have children. Girls... Girls may have a worse fate..."
"Oh! This topic makes me feel uncomfortable~ Let's not talk about it today! We can talk about it in the evening when we have the legal education class~"
Liu Xianghua smiled and greeted everyone: "Yes, it's a bit heavy, let's not talk about it for now! Eating meat is such a wonderful thing! Come on~ Let's set the table~"
"Let's go set the table~"
"I think there aren't enough tables. How about we eat standing up? You can eat more standing up..."
The people in the room quickly dispersed, leaving only a few older people still sitting in the room.
The blind grandmother wiped her tears and said sadly, "I don't know about my Ye'er... Oh! Let's not talk about it. There has been no news for so many years. I'm afraid she is no longer in this world..."
Li Zhen walked over and comforted her, "Old sister, think about it more positively! It's been so many years..."
Who would believe that the blind mother-in-law's daughter is fine?
"I don't ask for anything else..." the blind old woman said pitifully, "I just want her to be alive. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back. As long as she's alive, I'm content..."
Li Zhen patted her on the back and sighed as well.
Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi pulled Chen Shuning out and went into Chen Shuning's room before asking, "Hey? Shuning, what's going on with the blind mother-in-law's daughter?"
Chen Shuning shook his head and said, "I don't know the details... I was still a child when her daughter left... She's been missing for many years..."
"Pitiful!"
"Yes~ She is all alone and can't even see..."
After Ma Lanzhi sighed, she leaned closer to Chen Shuning and whispered, "Han Mei is getting married!"
"What? Han Mei is getting married?" Chen Shuning said in surprise, "To whom? I've never heard of her dating anyone."
Wang Na said gossipingly, "It's Liu Gui! Liu Gui has liked her for a long time, but Han Mei has always ignored him. I don't know what happened these past two days..."
Han Mei is so proactive! She's so nice to Liu Gui! It's only been a few days, and they're getting married!
"Ah? It's progressing so quickly?" Chen Shuning said in surprise, "Could it be that the two of them have been together secretly for a long time, and you didn't know?"
Ma Lanzhi whispered, "Impossible! Li Hongzao has always liked Liu Gui. She didn't even realize Han Mei and Liu Gui were together. These two must have been together in the past few days."
Chen Shuning didn't know what was going on at the educated youth camp, so his mind was a little confused: "Li Hongzao likes Liu Gui? That's impossible! Li Hongzao has so many great conditions!"
"Oh, Liu Gui doesn't like Li Hongzao, no matter who comes, it's useless!" Wang Na said hurriedly: "But I think Li Hongzao has changed too, she really dislikes Liu Gui now."
Ma Lanzhi looked at the door and saw that no one was coming. She lowered her voice and said, "We are telling you this to remind you not to lend clothes to Han Mei!"
Wang Na nodded and echoed, "Han Mei actually wants us to give her a piece of clothing for free. How shameless is she!"
Ma Lanzhi said disdainfully, "Even if she buys a piece of cloth, I'll make it for her for free. She doesn't pay anything, but just asks me for a piece of clothing. How can I give her anything?"
"Anyway, she's borrowing clothes everywhere now!" Wang Na warned: "Didn't you just make clothes? Don't lend them to her. She's not a clean person~"
Ma Lanzhi agreed, "Really! I haven't seen her take a bath in this whole winter... The first year I went to the countryside, I lent her a coat, and she only returned it to me after it got dirty!"
And it wasn’t even washed! I was almost sick to death when I got it… If that dress wasn’t bought by my mom, I would have thrown it away…”
Chen Shuning dug his ears to make sure he hadn't heard it wrong, but he couldn't believe it!
"Ah? We country folk aren't that dirty...at most we dress a little shabbily...isn't she from the city?"
Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na nodded at the same time, and then shook their heads desperately.
Wang Na said casually, "She's from the city, but she's different from us. We can tell that her family favors boys over girls."
"The problem is, Han Mei thinks it's normal to favor boys over girls!" Ma Lanzhi rolled her eyes and said, "She always says that she should help the family and that good things should go to her younger brother..."
Chen Shuning said speechlessly: "Hehe~ This is the first time I've seen someone exploiting themselves... No, does Liu Gui know that she is like this?"
Ma Lanzhi was careful and guessed more than Wang Na.
She whispered, "Liu Gui doesn't quite understand. He likes Han Mei because she's frugal. He thinks she's someone who knows how to live."
"It just so happens that Liu Gui is quite stingy too~" Wang Na said sarcastically, "They're a perfect match! This is a good thing, as it saves Li Hongzao from suffering."
"This is too complicated~" Chen Shuning sighed: "Shouldn't two people get married only if they like each other? Why are they..."
Ma Lanzhi glanced at Chen Shuning and said disdainfully, "You are too naive! How can there be so much mutual affection?
Most people get married because they weigh the pros and cons and choose the person with the best conditions to live with."
Wang Na casually glanced at the kang and saw the pile of wool at the head of the kang. She said, "Shuning, you haven't finished knitting the scarf yet?"
Chen Shuning glanced back and said embarrassedly, "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time for it..."
Wang Na volunteered: "I'll knit it for you! I can finish it in one day!"
Chen Shuning wished someone would knit for her! Her hands were not at all skillful.
"Really? Then you have to eat a few more pieces of meat today. Just consider it as my thank you, haha~"
The Chen family invited everyone to eat meat, but the educated youth only invited Wang Na, Ma Lanzhi and Xu Qingshan, who were close to Chen Shuning and Chen Jiawang.
"I was worried you wouldn't be used to it, so I thought I'd bring some over to you once the meat was cooked. But then I thought, there are quite a few of you educated youth here, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to eat in front of others..."
"It's almost time to eat, so don't be too quiet, you two! We all fight over the meat when we eat it, and if you don't, you won't get much..."
Wang Na raised her head and said proudly, "I have to fight for it! When it comes to eating meat, who can beat me?"
Lin Shitou's voice came from outside: "Dinner is ready~"
