The women I let down in those years

Zhang family.

My cousin and I stood in front of this dilapidated house and always had an unreal feeling.

This house is not considered an adobe house, because two rooms are made of red bricks, which are very strong and beautiful, but the other rooms are adobe houses, which are dilapidated and may collapse at any time.

Why does this happen to the same house?

My cousin and I looked at each other and had doubts in our hearts, but that was not the purpose of our visit. We wanted to discuss with this family to see if we could find a suitable maid.

The Zhang family's courtyard wall is very short and made of adobe. There is a dilapidated fence at the door that can be knocked down with one kick.

"anyone there?"

My cousin shouted outside.

"Who?"

An impatient voice came out, still a bit drunk.

Then a middle-aged woman came out, looking a little evasive. She was obviously stunned when she saw my cousin and me, "Who are you?"

The cousin smiled and said, "Hello! I have something to discuss with you. Can you go in and talk?"

"I...wait a minute, I have to ask the boss."

Women obviously cannot make the decision.

A man came out of it, his face was red and he was walking a little unsteadily.

"Who are you? What's wrong?"

"Can you go in and talk? This matter will be good for you."

The cousin's face already showed disgust, because this man was not only drunk, but his hair was also messy. He hadn't washed it for an unknown amount of time.

"what is the benefit?"

"rich."

"rich?"

The man's eyes lit up and he kicked the woman next to him, "You are deafened by riding on your horse! Why don't you open the door quickly! You prodigal bitch!"

The woman didn't dare to resist, so she hurriedly came over and opened the fence to let us in.

The man took us into a red brick house. From the furnishings inside, we could tell it was a bedroom, but the furniture was very shabby. A small square table was placed on the kang. There was a plate of meat, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of rice on the table. Low-quality liquor, a plate of vegetables and a bowl of porridge.

After the man came in, he grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, took a sip of white wine, and then picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth.

The woman could only sit across from him in fear. There was no doubt that the plate of vegetables and porridge belonged to her, while the meat and wine belonged to the man.

"What's the matter with you?"

My cousin has been very tolerant, but when he saw this situation, he still couldn't suppress the disgust on his face.

This man is really nothing!

"You have a daughter named Zhang Zhaodi, right? She is eighteen years old this year."

"Well, yes, what's wrong? Do you like her? The bride price is 20,000 yuan, no counter-offer!"

"No, that's not what I meant."

My cousin quickly explained, "I want to see her first."

The man frowned, "If you don't like her, then what are you going to do? I'm telling you, don't try to get her ideas, I'm still pointing at her to make money for me!"

Seeing the man's reaction, my cousin felt even more disgusted, so he simply took out two hundred yuan from his bag and slapped it on the table.

"Call Zhang Zhaodi back, these two hundred yuan are yours."

The man suddenly became energetic, stretched out his hand, grabbed the two hundred yuan in his hand, and slapped the woman on the head.

"You bastard! Why don't you call Zhaodi back quickly? Do you still want me to go?"

The woman did not dare to resist and hurried out.

With these two hundred yuan, the man's attitude changed, and he even took the initiative to find a cup and pour his cousin a glass of low-quality liquor.

"Come! Let's have a drink together."

The cousin shook his head in refusal.

My cousin can't drink this low-quality liquor.

Although we don't drink, we can also inquire about more information.

When a man gets a benefit, he naturally has to show something and say a lot of things.

Zhang Zhaodi has passed her eighteenth birthday, and her husband has already asked someone to find a suitable in-law for her.

The so-called appropriateness is that a gift of 20,000 yuan is enough, and the rest is not important.

Judging from the man's tone, he didn't care about his daughter's life or death at all, he only cared about how much benefit her daughter could bring to him.

The reason why he let his daughter do odd jobs nearby was because he was worried that her daughter would find an opportunity to run away.

The man likes to drink, and he used to go out to work to earn money, but since Zhang Zhaodi stopped going to school, he stopped working. He drinks at home every day, and beats and scolds his wife and daughter if he doesn't go well. That's why the woman reacts that way. .

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, the man also said that Laidi will be old in two years and can find her husband's family. Then he will order more betrothal gifts and his third daughter Pandi. All this is money!

Anyway, in words, his three daughters are used to make money.

But when he mentioned his son, his demeanor changed, saying that his son was the most important thing, and he would count on his son to provide for him in old age.

In order to take good care of his son, he deliberately built two rooms. He lives in one, his son lives in another, and his three daughters can just squeeze into the adobe house.

My cousin and I didn't say anything on the surface, but in our hearts we were scolding each other bloody.

Is this Ta Ma still a man?

It’s simply nothing!

Fortunately, the woman came back and brought a girl with her.

The girl has short hair, and her hair is cut into pits, mostly by herself with scissors;

The eyes are not small, but they have no energy and look dull;

His complexion is yellow and his body is thin, probably the result of long-term malnutrition. His weight is definitely less than 100 kilograms. I think 90 kilograms would be good;

The clothes on his body were very worn and patched, and his shoes were so worn that they lost their shape.

Although I was mentally prepared before, when I saw the girl like this, I still felt compassion.

It was at this time that I felt that letting Zhang Zhaodi work as a maid for Master Gao might be the best choice.

As long as she can get rid of this miserable family of origin, it is the best for her.

My cousin stared at Zhang Zhaodi for a few seconds and said, "Go outside and wash your face. Make it clean and let me take a look."

Mr. Gao's requirements are not low, even without makeup, he must be six points.

Zhang Zhaodi's hair is unkempt and it's hard to tell whether she's beautiful or not, so she needs to tidy up her hair.

This time there was no need for the man to speak. The woman quickly took Zhang Zhaodi outside to wash her face.

Two minutes later, the girl returned to the house, and her original appearance could be seen.

She is not very beautiful, and due to long-term malnutrition, there is no flesh on her face, but her eyes do have some sparkle.

The cousin frowned, and was a little unable to judge whether Zhang Zhaodi met the conditions.

For my cousin, when he is unsure, giving up in time is the best choice to avoid losing too much.

But I took the initiative to speak at this time.

"It's okay, the conditions are OK."

I admit, I really softened up at this moment.

I don't want to watch a fancy girl completely lose hope in life.

My cousin glared at me, "This is no good, the conditions are a bit bad! Dongzi, your vision is getting worse and worse!"
