My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law

Want to break off the engagement? It's not that easy. You should also have a taste of being tortured by the Xie family in this life. This is fair. Wen Ya's eyes flashed with calculation.

In a flash, Wen Ya said, "Sister-in-law accepted a thousand yuan of betrothal gifts from the Xie family. You know that sister-in-law is a Pixiu, and she will never spit out the money she has put in her pocket."

In her previous life, Wen Wan was only immersed in the happiness of marrying Lu Yiming and didn't pay attention to anything else.

I didn't expect there was this layer of story.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wen Ya continued, "Wan Wan, there are more than a hundred households in our village. How many of them can have enough food? Not to mention paying a thousand yuan for the bride price.

If you marry into this kind of family, you won't have to worry about food and clothing.

Besides, a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift would be very impressive if it were shared with others!"

Wen Wan looked at Wen Ya with something in mind. No wonder Wen Ya agreed to marry Xie Changqing in her previous life. So this was what she was thinking. It was quite consistent with her character of wanting to be the best in everything.

In 1976, one hundred yuan bought the equivalent of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in later generations, and one thousand yuan was equivalent to 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

The normal gift for marrying a wife in rural areas is only two or three hundred yuan, and at most no more than five hundred yuan.

You have to know that in the 1970s, having enough food to eat was already quite good. It was normal for people in the countryside to have no money all year round. Urban workers only earned 30 yuan a month, and 30 yuan was enough to support a family.

You may have some face, but there is no such thing as a free lunch.

I think the Xie family knows that their son is not capable and is afraid of being gossiped by the villagers, so they are willing to spend a huge amount of money on a bride price to marry a daughter-in-law as a decoration, making people swallow their saliva.

Wen Wan had lived for decades in his previous life and no longer took face seriously.

"But the person the Xie family wants to marry is you, not me.

If someone is willing to give a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift, he or she must be attracted to you.

If I marry there and the goods are not what I paid for, they will make a fuss and my family will be laughed at by the villagers."

Father Wen thought it made sense, took a puff of his pipe, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Afraid that Father Wen would waver, Wen Ya raised her voice and said, "Anyway, I am going to marry Brother Yiming. As for Xie Changqing, you guys can do whatever you want! It's not impossible to cancel the engagement and return the betrothal gift."

After hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law Xu Fengqin, who had been eavesdropping outside the house, came in a few steps and said hurriedly, "When the Xie family came to propose marriage, they said that either Wen Ya or Wen Wan would do."

Wen Wan was speechless.

Marrying a wife is just like a deaf man's ears - a decoration, so of course anyone can do.

Just when he was about to say something to her, he heard Xu Fengqin complaining, "I will definitely not return the betrothal gift. Dad, Mom, if the family were just adults like us, we could be a little poor, but we still have children!

Xiaojun is four years old this year, and he is still as small as a bean sprout. He wants to eat eggs and meat!

The village chief’s grandson is the same age as him, and a whole head taller than him. As a mother, I feel heartbroken just looking at him…”

When talking about his eldest grandson, Father Wen knocked his pipe loudly again, and said in a solemn voice with the majesty of a patriarch: "The marriage is settled, no one can say anything, or don't blame me for being rude."

Wen Wan thought that after her conditions improved in her previous life, her father felt that they were siblings from the same mother and should help each other, so he asked her to contribute money and effort to her brother and sister-in-law.

Now it seems that Father Wen was simply trying to be selfish. He thinks his brother, sister-in-law, and eldest grandson are his own people, while his daughter is an outsider.

Even in his eyes, his daughter might just be a commodity that can be sold. People are willing to pay a high price for her, and there is no reason to return the money once it has been received.

He doesn't care how his daughters get married. He thinks life will be the same no matter who they marry, as long as they don't lose the benefits he has already obtained.

To be precise, it's not just Father Wen who is like this.

This is the situation in rural areas these days. Sons have the opportunity to go to school but daughters don’t. Sons inherit the family line while daughters are money losers. Daughters’ gifts are used as dowries for sons to marry off.

In the minds of this generation of parents, daughters are just tools to assist their sons. How normal it is.

The most important thing is that rural women at this time do not have their own sovereignty. When they are at home, their sovereignty belongs to their father. After they get married, their sovereignty belongs to their husband. When they are old...

It seems like when you get old, you are of no use at all. Just give you some food like a beggar.

Even if she finds a way to cancel the marriage with the Xie family this time, there will still be the Li family, the Wang family, and the Ma family. In short, a daughter of marriageable age will not stay at home and eat and drink for free, and the older the daughter is, the smaller and less valuable the bride price will be.

In this era, women’s resistance is useless, because the men in the family will really beat you until you surrender and obey.

The only way left is to escape.

There was a new problem when escaping. In the 1970s, there were not many private enterprises, let alone individual business owners. If you couldn't find a job, you couldn't be employed, and without a source of income, you couldn't survive.

Even if you want to run a small business, you need a place to stay. At this time, you need a letter of introduction to do anything. Without a letter of introduction, you can't rent a house or stay in a hotel.

Women are born with sexual and reproductive resources.

For her, a young girl, going out alone was no different from throwing a piece of gold into the street.

Either they are targeted and dragged to the woods to satisfy their physiological needs, or they are abducted to more remote rural areas to be used as baby-bearing machines.

Not to mention that there is such a thing as law. In the 1970s, there were no sophisticated monitoring and communication facilities like today, so the cost of committing a crime was extremely low, but the cost of investigating and collecting evidence was extremely high.

Even if someone is killed, it is difficult to find the murderer.

Even if they stay in the village and live independently, women will be harmed by other men due to the lack of protection from male family members.

In later generations, news of left-behind girls being sexually assaulted by several men from the same village is not uncommon.

As a person who has lived for several decades, it is impossible for her to be like the girls in later generations who like to read rebirth novels and think that knowing the future will allow them to control everything, but fail to realize that even if they know the future, there are still too many conditions that cannot be changed.

First of all, it cannot change the overall environment and the values ​​of the people under that environment, nor can it change the physiological fact that it is difficult for women to defeat men in terms of strength.

Therefore, life is not easy and you should admit defeat when you should.

If you dream of toying with the world, you will end up being toyed with by the world.

Under the patriarchal system, getting married is the inevitable path for women. Instead of looking for a partner in the Li, Wang, or Ma family, it is better to choose the Xie family.

At least Xie Changqing did not beat women and gave them enough living expenses on time. These two points were rare not only in the rural areas of the 1970s when beating women was as common as eating, but also in the 21st century.

In her previous life, Wen Ya refused to divorce despite all the trouble she had because Xie Changqing was willing to give her money.

What else do you want? Just let it be a tin-plated gun tip!

It just so happened that she didn't want to go through the hardship of having and raising children in this life. It was too fucking torturous.

She is still young and has plenty of opportunities to change her fate. At worst, she can wait until the 1980s when things were still relatively open to divorce.
