Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Chapter 228 Wolf Den

Liu Xiaozhen inquired about a lot of things about Dong Lin's family. Niu Shuangshuang felt that Liu Xiaozhen was thinking too much.

But Liu Xiaozhen is her friend, her best friend, and she appreciates that Liu Xiaozhen cares about her so much.

She also wanted to know more about Dong Lin's family.

After being asked all kinds of questions by Liu Xiaozhen, Niu Shuangshuang did find out some things.

Before, Dong Lin only said that he had an older brother and a younger brother, but never mentioned that he had an older sister.

Liu Xiaozhen asked him where his sisters were married.

Dong Lin said that her sisters were married far away and only came back once in a long time.

Liu Xiaozhen also asked Dong Lin how much barren hills his family had contracted, whether it was his elder brother and sister-in-law who were taking care of them, how many fruit trees they had planted, and what kind of fruit trees they had planted.

Dong Lin was a bit hesitant and just said that it was all taken care of by his family. He had been working outside for a few years and didn't know much about it.

The more Niu Shuangshuang listened, the more she felt that Dong Lin, who looked honest, was not that honest, and she felt a little panicked.

But Dong Lin was really good to her. Except for Liu Xiaozhen, no one had ever been so good to her.

She is a very ordinary person. Her family was not nice to her. She only went to elementary school. She is average looking and has no special skills.

In the factory, she was not the best or fastest worker, and her brain was not as sharp as Xiaozhen's.

Sometimes she followed Xiaozhen to read books and newspapers, and she learned a word: mediocrity.

She found that she was a very mediocre person and might not achieve anything great in her life. She would struggle for food and clothing all her life and live a mediocre life.

Every month, my family would urge me to send back my salary. If I sent too little or too late, they would call and ask me.

After a few years, when I have earned enough money to build a house and my younger brother's dowry, my family may urge me to get married.

Her future was gray, lifeless, and tasteless, like a leaf that had been used up, eventually turning yellow, falling, turning into a rotten leaf, and disappearing.

Until she met Dong Lin, no one had ever been so considerate and caring to her, and she felt so cherished. Her world seemed to have color and flavor.

She couldn't imagine going back to the way things were.

After taking a train for more than a day, she arrived at a small county town whose name she had never heard of, a small county town that was smaller and more dilapidated than the original Heng County.

I took the daily shuttle bus to a very small town.

Niu Shuangshuang's heart also gradually lost its color and taste.

Dong Lin's hometown is even more remote and backward than her hometown.

When they arrived at the town, they searched for a long time before they found a donkey cart that could take them to Donglin Village.

They rode on the donkey cart for most of the day, and when they reached an intersection, the donkey cart dropped them off.

The three of them carried their luggage and started walking along the mountain road.

Dong Lin comforted and encouraged them again and again, saying that they would soon arrive, just turn the corner, walk over the hill, and wade across the stream, and they would arrive.

The three of them walked from the afternoon until midnight before they finally reached the village where Dong Lin was.

Niu Shuangshuang was already in despair.

She used to think that the distance from the brigade to the town was very far, but at least she didn’t have to walk through so many mountain roads and cliff roads.

Does she really want to marry into a family like this?

Then why did she try so hard to get out before?

Niu Shuangshuang had already backed out at that time.

She was greedy for Dong Lin's kindness to her, but she was not stupid.

But she also knew that things had come to this point, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere, and find an opportunity to go back with Xiaozhen.

She regretted not listening to Xiaozhen and agreeing to go back to her hometown with Dong Lin so easily.

Dong Lin only said that his hometown was poor, but he didn't say it was so remote.

She could tolerate poverty, but this kind of mountain valley where no one could get help from heaven or earth was beyond Niu Shuangshuang's imagination.

But she didn't expect that things would be worse than she thought.

They arrived home in the middle of the night and everyone in the village was asleep.

Dong Lin knocked on the door, woke up his family, and opened the door.

A lame man opened the door.

He was very happy to see his brother come back.

I was even happier when I saw my younger brother coming back with his girlfriend.

I got excited when I saw there was another girl coming back with her brother.

He called up his father and brother.

When Dong Lin's father and brother Dong Lin saw Niu Shuangshuang and Liu Xiaozhen, they were also very happy, and the greed in their eyes could not be hidden.

Liu Xiaozhen immediately woke up. She deeply regretted coming back with Shuangshuang.

This is a wolf's den!

Dong Lin warned his father and brothers with his eyes, and they suppressed their excitement and warmly welcomed Niu Shuangshuang and Liu Xiaozhen.

I boiled hot water for them, borrowed eggs and noodles from other homes, cooked eggs and noodles for them, and prepared beds for them.

While they were eating noodles, Dong Lin and his sons stared at them greedily.

After eating the noodles, Dong Lin took Liu Xiaozhen and Niu Shuangshuang into a dark mud brick house, saying it was his room. He asked them to rest there while he squeezed in with his younger brother.

After Dong Lin left, Niu Shuangshuang realized the seriousness of the matter. She looked at Liu Xiaozhen nervously, feeling a little at a loss.

This home was not what she had imagined at all. It was more than just a wolf's den!

Liu Xiaozhen covered her mouth as she was about to cry, and shook her head at her to calm her down.

They must not show their intention to escape, otherwise they might immediately resort to violence and keep them.

In the dark room, Liu Xiaozhen felt for a washing stick or some other wooden stick, took it in her hand, and stood behind the door with Niu, back to back.

If there is any movement, she will definitely fight with them first.

Of course, Liu Xiaozhen had no intention of fighting with them to death. Nothing was more important than life.

If she couldn't win, she would just run away, and would rather escape into the mountains with the cow.

She felt she might have a better chance of success in the mountains.

A few hours later, it was dawn!

Liu Xiaozhen discovered that in this village, even the crowing of roosters was rare. How poor must the village be!

She discussed with Niu Shuangshuang that they should keep calm first and not panic.

The poor men from the mountains trick women back home just to treat them as breeding machines or livestock. They won't take their lives immediately. As long as they are still alive, there is hope.

In Liu Xiaozhen's heart, life is the most important thing.

"Shuangshuang, are you awake?" Dong Lin came over and asked them to get up.

Niu Shuangshuang responded, pretending to have just woken up.

The two of them agreed to pretend that they hadn't noticed anything and find a chance to leave.

Dong Lin said breakfast was ready and asked them to get up and eat.

Niu Shuangshuang and Liu Xiaozhen tried to remain calm and had breakfast with the Dong family.

Liu Xiaozhen continued her previous work, getting to know the Dong family and Dongjia Village.

Although the Dong family father and son were not very willing to cooperate, Dong Lin had already told them before.

Do they want a daughter-in-law who is willing to stay, or one who always wants to escape?

Of course, they want someone who can live a good life with them, and they don’t want someone like Dong Lin’s eldest brother Dong Shu’s wife.

All she thinks about all day long is running away. She doesn't want to have a baby, and if she does, she'll get rid of it.
