My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

2706 You’re talking nonsense

“There are people in this world who know whether I’m talking nonsense or not. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Luzi village, Chenyuan County, Tongzhou and ask the oldest elders in the village. Back then, your father and I were taken away by bandits and we were locked up in the same place. I was only 13 years old at that time, not yet of marriageable age. The bandit asked your father to humiliate me, or I’ll kill him. Then, your father agreed. They let your father humiliate me first, and then humiliate me together. Your father was watching from the side. I told him to kill me. When he pounced on me, I told him to kill me. He didn’t. In order to live, he listened to the bandits. In order to survive, he personally lit the incense that the bandits had given him. He said that after his men saved him, he would give me a status and kill all the bandits. No one would know my past and he would let me stay in his house and give me a place to live.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Fatty Wang retorted without hesitation.

In his heart, his father was an upright and old-fashioned man. His ancestors were all scholars, and there were family rules. The wife was childless at thirty years old, and the husband could only take in concubines.

His father had never been a womanizer outside. Even he would go to the brothels and never get anyone pregnant. He did not dare to disobey the ancestral teachings and let women from outside cause a scene at home.

Moreover, his father married his mother before his father became a scholar. That was to say, when his father went to Tongzhou to take office, his father already had a wife and daughter. He took the whole family to take office, so how could he provoke an outside woman?

“He helped me. He also didn’t mention the promise he made me to go home with him. “However, a month later, I was pregnant. At that time, the mountain Bandit who had escaped was caught. All of my dirty deeds were exposed, but the mountain Bandit didn’t mention that he touched me every day. I didn’t dare to go out in the village, and everyone despised me. At this time, he didn’t stand out to say anything and just locked up the brigand. I couldn’t take the pressure, so I told my mother about what happened in the village. My mother went to the Yamen to find him. He didn’t want to see my mother, so he asked his mother to see my mother. That night, my mother died. She hit her head to death in the Yamen.

“Then, every day, the bandits would give him a joss stick to liven up the atmosphere and have him light it up. Then, a group of people would watch us do things in the house. When the mountain bandits became excited, they would also come together. I wanted to commit suicide several times, but I begged him to kill me. He told me that if I lived on, he would give me a new life. I survived on his words. However, he didn’t kill all the bandits and let one of them escape. I thought he had executed everyone. He killed everyone. I know that I’m not worthy of his status, so I only ask him to testify for me that I’m not hurt. He’s the county Magistrate, so the people in our village will definitely believe him, and I’ll have a slightly better life.”

My brothers and sisters-in-law couldn’t tolerate me anymore. They didn’t dare to provoke this County Magistrate, so they let my mother be buried hastily and then sold me to a street vendor. Then, I followed the itinerant peddler and left Langzhou. A few months later, I gave birth to a son. But this child is inborn with a deficiency. The doctor said that it’s because I didn’t protect myself well during the pregnancy. What can I do? I’m just an ordinary village woman. Can I kill the culprit with a knife? I can only take good care of my son.”
