Chapter 401 The Difficult Reality
Zhang Wei put away the small note, and walked back into the house as if nothing had happened.
He decided to suppress this matter first, and ask his mother about this matter clearly. After all, everyone here is related to him. Bad influence.
Moreover, these uncles and other relatives, except for being harsh on the women in the family, did not have too many flaws in other aspects. They were honest, enthusiastic, able to endure hardship, and took very good care of Zhang Wei and his mother.
For the rest of the lunch, Zhang Wei was not in the mood to eat because he had been immersed in this matter.
In the afternoon, taking advantage of his mother's free time, Zhang Wei quickly pulled her over to ask about the situation.
"Mom, let me ask you, are the daughter-in-laws of those relatives in this village married or how did they get here?"
"I married you back, otherwise you could have snatched it back?" Mom gave an annoyed look, puzzled by Zhang Wei's sudden question.
"Then what's going on?" Zhang Wei said, took out the note just now from his pocket, and spread it out for his mother to read.
When seeing these two words, my mother suddenly fell silent.But her direction was completely different from that of Zhang Wei. She thought it was just that the woman couldn't bear the abuse at home, so she wanted to escape.
"Don't worry about this matter. The status of women in this place is so low that you can't imagine. Back then, your grandma was beaten by your grandpa almost every day, and there was basically no good place on her body. If I hadn't married you Dad's side may also have a similar fate to this woman."
"Could it be domestic violence?"
Zhang Bi frowned and muttered, if it is domestic violence, he can't help much except mediate the family conflict, unless the woman is willing to divorce, otherwise when the mediator leaves, what should I do then? In this way, it will even intensify.
According to Zhang Wei's vague memory, these villages basically intermarried with each other, which meant that everyone knew the basics.Even if this woman is divorced, where can she go?I can only go back to my hometown.But when the people in my hometown heard about their daughter's divorce, they would only feel shameful about it, and instead would help their husband's family to reprimand their child, and in the end would help send her back, so that this woman would go to hell again.
Where there is backwardness, there will always be evil deeds that you can't imagine.
As if seeing Zhang Fei's sullenness about this matter, my mother held Zhang Fei's hand and persuaded him.
"What can you do with this matter? Call the police? Do you know who the second uncle who was sitting next to you just now is? He is the second in command of the police station in this village. You may think that you helped this woman at the time, but after you left , you are actually harming him. Unless you can take him away and take care of her daily life. Besides, you have to take away twenty or thirty women in a village?"
"And, do you think your uncles and uncles will allow you to take their daughter-in-law away? It's no wonder you don't fight hard."
Zhang Wei was silent all of a sudden, what his mother said was not unreasonable.
Although he can guarantee that his uncles and uncles will work hard with him, he will be fearless, but he really has the heart to look at the life of a family of twenty or so in a village without a single female relative?Moreover, Zhang Wei also had to take into account his mother's factors. She came from here. Zhang Wei's move was tantamount to breaking up his mother's natal family and his mother, and it was impossible to come back from now on.
Zhang Wei scratched his head involuntarily. For the first time, he felt that things would be so difficult.
Just when Zhang Wei was at a loss, he suddenly saw a young couple passing by him, seeing how they kissed me, they were very affectionate.
When the two saw Zhang Wei, they also greeted politely: "Old Cousin Zhang."
Zhang Bi nodded with a smile, and seeing the backs of the two quarreling and leaving, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Hey, old cousin, wait a minute." Zhang Wei walked up in two steps, and stopped the two of them.
When the two heard the words, they couldn't help turning their heads, and looked at Zhang Wei suspiciously, "What's the matter? Cousin Zhang."
Zhang Wei took a closer look. This man was only about 20 years old, probably because of the mountainous area, so he got married earlier.His complexion is yellow, and it is dark yellow, but his facial features are correct, his nose bridge is high, and with a thick side part, he also has the taste of a Hong Kong, Hong Kong and Taiwan star in the 90s.
The woman looks relatively average, with waist-length hair, a round face, slightly fat, thick legs, and a lot of freckles on both ends of her nose, but she is indeed a good farmer with this figure.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask where my cousin is from, it always gives me a familiar feeling." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that old cousin felt wrong. I'm from the village next door, about ten miles away from here."
The woman pointed to the southeast, and Zhang Bi raised his eyes to see that there were mountains, and the mountains were full of trees, so he couldn't see anything.
The woman's answer suddenly gave Zhang Wei an opportunity, he pondered for a while, and said with a slightly embarrassed look.
"I wonder if I can ask you a question?"
"Miao Zhang, please don't see outsiders. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."
"It's just that the old cousin gave me the feeling. Why is it not the same as the seventh uncle and the others treat the aunt and aunt?"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the expressions of the old cousin and cousin-in-law.
It may be that the old cousin has not reacted yet. After Zhang Wei asked the question, he replied without thinking: "Oh, that's because they are all foreigners. If you don't be cruel, they will all run away."
The old cousin didn't say the last word very clearly, because when it came to the end, the cousin seemed to realize that this kind of thing should not be said casually, so she stretched out her hand and pinched the old cousin quietly.As for this action, the old cousin also reacted, and smiled awkwardly when he said that, and did not continue talking.
Zhang Bi pretended not to understand, and continued to ask curiously: "Why are they running away?"
"Hehe, I'm not very clear about this. I often work outside and come back after the Chinese New Year. You can ask my second uncle." The old cousin smiled awkwardly and quietly pushed the question away.
Judging from the expressions of the two, Zhang Wei has completely confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
Domestic violence exists, but the foundation of this domestic violence is not because of backwardness, but because women want to run away.The reason why women want to run away is because they are from outsiders. The answer to why they are from outsiders is already obvious, that is, they are bought.
Of course Zhang Wei believed that these women were not abducted by the uncle and the others forcibly.Just because they are big guys from the mountain village, if they really want to go out to rob people, they may be taken away by the police as soon as they get out of the car.
Therefore, they can only be bought from people who trafficked women.
Suddenly figured it out, Zhang Bi felt both hatred, sadness and sympathy for his uncle and the others.
It is definitely not easy for a mountain village man like them to find a daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Who would want to marry in this kind of mountain village?But the incense at home must continue.If there are sisters in the family, it may be possible to exchange with another family, but if there are several brothers in the family, what else can they do besides paying for it?
Don't look at the more than ten families in this village who love each other, but there are countless contradictions in life.For example, the simplest cultivated land, if the foundation of the family is weak, someone else will occupy you a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow. After a year or so, your land will basically belong to others.
And if you don’t have a wife or children at home, others will make fun of you. Anyway, your family is going to be extinct, so it’s better to give up the land and food. It’s a waste for your own family to eat it.
Therefore, this kind of flat and impoverished mountainous area has become an endless cycle. Try to save money, then buy a wife, have children, and then continue to save money, buy a wife, and have children when you grow up.
Zhang Wei didn't understand at first, but now that the outside world is so developed, it's much better to go out and hang around for two years than this mountain corner.And maybe even bring a daughter-in-law back.
But just like the facts he has confirmed before, as long as young people go out and there is no one at home, they will be constantly bullied by others, so many young people are forced to stay at home.Moreover, they have little education, just graduated from elementary school, and some of them have not yet reached the level. They are semi-literate or illiterate, so even if they go out, it is difficult to find a job.
Zhang Wei looked behind him, and almost no one noticed it, so he took out the note from his pocket, unfolded it to reveal the two words, and said.
"Don't lie to me, tell me, how many girls in the village are bought?"
To Zhang Wei's surprise, the old cousin didn't panic because of Zhang Wei's discovery. Instead, he was very calm and said with a faint smile, "A lot of people bought it."
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Zhang Wei even wanted to give him a punch, An Nai suppressed the anger in his heart, and Zhang Wei continued to ask with a sullen face, "Did the woman who knocked on the window in the house this morning also buy it?"
"Yes, but he is really crazy. But I don't know if he was made crazy by the medicine when he was brought here or he was crazy in the first place. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that he can still have children, and that's enough."
"Do you know that buying and selling women is against the law and you can go to jail?"
"I know, what can I do? Do you think you will risk going to jail or watch your family wither in your own generation?" The old cousin replied dully, even with a hint of 'what can I do, I'm also desperate ah' feeling.
"Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?" Zhang Bi frowned and said.
The old cousin smiled lightly and shook his head, the content of the answer was somewhat similar to what the mother said.
"The police know about these things, but many of the police in our town come from small villages, and they are all relatives within a radius of ten miles. If you take away their daughter-in-law, you will break their family's incense. The police from other provinces came to save people, and they just handed over the daughter-in-law to Aunt Zhang and moved her to another village, and then replaced her with someone whom the police didn’t even know would be enough.”
