She took out a red dress. It wasn't shabby, it was well-preserved, but it had a heavy camphor smell.
"Put it on. Don't put on a bitter face today. After today, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Xiong Family."
Ding Yiyi looked up at the sky. She hadn't slept the entire night and the wound on her wrist actually didn't hurt too much. She thought that perhaps the medicine had also taken effect and had numbed her pain nerves.
Aunt Xiong threw a piece of clothing at her and said, "If I don't see you putting it on by the time I get back, I'll let Stupid Bear help you wear it."
She, too, had changed into a half-worn red dress, and with a cheerful face, she took a bag and went out, leaving behind a lock.
Ding Yiyi slowly put on the red clothes that she had given her. The clothes were too small, revealing the injured part of her wrist.
Soon, Stupid Bear came. He also brought some rope and a bowl of thick fish soup. "Wifey, my mom said she still needs to tie you up."
With that, he tied her hands behind her back, then took the rope and looped it around his wrist twice.
"I will not surrender to you. If there is a chance, I will definitely run away!" Ding Yiyi glared at him, her eyes bloodshot from the night's sleep.
Stupid Bear was also a bit happy and his temper started to get a little violent. He grabbed Ding Yiyi's hair and said, "Why do you always want to run? Do you also look down on me and think that I'm a fool?"
He didn't know how to react, so Ding Yiyi gasped in pain, "Let go!"
Stupid Bear finally let go and took out a piece of clothing to stuff into her mouth.
Not long after, many voices could be heard from outside the courtyard. Aunt Xiong invited these people in. "Today is my son's wedding day. Please cook well. Don't give me any scraps."
"Aunt Xiong, I've already taken the least from your family. If it wasn't for the fact that your son is retarded, I wouldn't have taken that little money." A carefree man's voice sounded.
Aunt Xiong's voice suddenly grew louder. "What? Are you bullying us orphans and widows? Let's see if I'm the same!"
"Of course not. With your temper, let alone this village, even the surrounding villages will not dare to speak ill of you." As soon as the man finished speaking, the others all laughed and echoed in agreement. Then, all sorts of cooking pots were set up, and the sound of cooking pots being lifted could be heard.
Aunt Xiong hung a string of firecrackers at the door and lit them up with incense. Instantly, the entire village could hear the noise of the firecrackers, drowning out the voices of the men in the courtyard.
A pungent smell accompanied by gray ashes drifted into the sky. A car slowly drove over from the distance. A group of children followed behind the car.
The car stopped in front of Aunt Xiong's house. One of the men looked at her and laughed, "Aiyah, it's a luxury car. Is Aunt Xiong your lover or not?"
The other men started laughing. Aunt Xiong didn't get angry, she just held the broom by the door and pretended, "If you keep talking, I'll sweep you guys to death."
The car door opened, and a man in a suit got off first. The man ran to the other side of the car and opened the door.
His aura was extremely cold and incongruous with the fishing village, making it impossible for others to not pay attention to him. The men who were joking just now were all silenced.
"Congratulations." The man spoke, his tone cold.
Aunt Xiong hurried over and gave him the things she had prepared earlier, "I picked this up from the mountain and have treated it. Go back and apply it on your wounds, I don't know if that will work. Anyway, this is the recipe left behind by our ancestors."
The man nodded and accepted it. "Thank you." He waved his hand, and the man who had been standing behind him handed him a red packet.
"No need, it's just a small matter." Aunt Xiong looked at the thick red packet. Although her heart was moved, she still spoke politely.
The man seemed to be able to see all of her emotions. He passed the red packet to her and said, "A wedding present for your noble young master."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave when suddenly, there was a loud bang from the tightly shut gate in the courtyard. It sounded as if there was something heavy directly placed on top of the iron gate.
At this time, Aunt Xiong stood in front of him and said, "I'm really sorry. Did I scare you? My son is a bit abnormal, so he often does something to make people angry."
Ye Nianmo looked at the fishwife in front of him. Seeing her nervous expression, he pursed his lips and looked around. It was obvious that she was lying. However, he wasn't worried at all about why she would lie.
He looked out to sea. A plane had crashed near here, in the sea, and people had long forgotten about it. The indifferent spectators found a new social hotspot, and those who lost their loved ones and friends also refocused their hearts and continued to live.
The sun was shining, and the sea breeze was blowing gently, making him look like a lover who was mumbling to himself. He glanced at the iron gate, then got on the carriage.
"The car is gone, the car is gone!" The children in the village ran after the leaving car, their young voices gradually fading away.
Aunt Xiong looked in the direction where the car had left. She then looked at the metal door with a thoughtful expression.
Inside the room, Ding Yiyi looked at the empty door through the crack in the door in despair. Her heart ached so much that she couldn't even breathe. All she could do was cry.
When it was seven or eight in the evening, the villagers came one after another. Everyone sat down happily and said to Aunt Xiong, "It's almost time. Why don't we let the bridegroom and bride come out to meet them?"
"What's the rush? Isn't it too late? My son's wife is from the city, she's usually introverted." Aunt Xiong laughed and scolded him. Seeing that the time was right, she said, "I'll go in and see how they are doing."
When she entered, she saw that Ding Yiyi was still crying, so she took out some herbs from the cabinet. After she crushed them with her hands, the herbs exuded a faint smell.
"Eat this." She stuck out her finger, which was covered in green mucus.
Ding Yiyi kept her mouth tightly shut. She didn't know what kind of herb was in front of her, but it was definitely not something good.
While she was still in a daze, Aunt Xiong had already put her fingers into her mouth. Green mucus flowed from her fingers into her teeth.
Ding Yiyi felt her mouth go numb. Her tongue felt as if it weighed millions of kilograms. Her four limbs came next.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Stupid Bear asked curiously.
Aunt Xiong turned her head and looked at him. She took out a piece of clothing from the closet and passed it to him, saying gently, "Son, mom found a wife for you. You won't be lonely even if mom dies in the future."
"Mom, I don't want you to die." Stupid Bear pulled her sleeve, looking a little anxious.
Aunt Xiong patted his shoulder. "Silly son, hurry and change your clothes. Today is your wedding day. In the future, you will be an adult and have a wife."
Stupid Bear was extremely happy when he heard this. He nodded his head and went to change his clothes. Meanwhile, outside the door, people were already noisily ordering the bride and groom to come out.
The villagers were stunned when Aunt Xiong helped Ding Yiyi out slowly. They lived in an isolated fishing village where women were mostly aged by the sea breeze and heavy chores. Black and red marks covered both their cheeks.
The woman in front of him had a high nose bridge and big eyes. She looked like a model who had just walked out of a television set.
"My wife is weak and weak." Aunt Xiong took the initiative to speak.
Everyone understood that it was probably just a cripple. Even if a poor family married a crippled woman, it wouldn't be of much use and they wouldn't be able to help.
Ding Yiyi felt uncomfortable all over, but she felt a gaze land on her. She turned her head with great difficulty and discovered that it was a man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The man looked to be around 30 years old. His deep blue eyes looked at Ding Yiyi with interest. When he saw her look at him with a gentle smile, he picked up the camera in his hand and took a few pictures.
Ding Yiyi's heart skipped a beat. This foreigner was the only one who was not from the village. He was the only one who could save her since they had coincidentally met each other on the way here.
She turned her neck, using her eyes to silently convey her plea. She quickly discovered that the man had indeed noticed, but his gaze was still fixed on her wrist.
Edward looked at the woman in front of him curiously. He was a photographer, so he was more sensitive to a woman's mood. The woman in front of him was not in a good mood, at least it shouldn't be the feeling a woman should show.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He picked it up, "Yes, I will be back home tomorrow morning. Sorry, I might have to rest for a while before I can continue working."
He hung up the phone and looked again. The beautiful and strange woman had already been helped back to her room. Only the fishermen were left in the courtyard, eating, drinking, and having fun.
That night, Ding Yiyi sat on the bed covered with a red blanket. Her body was tightly bound, but even so, she couldn't help but tremble.
The door opened and Aunt Xiong brought Stupid Bear in. She reeked of alcohol, "Son, treat your wife well."
She turned away and locked the door again. There was a noise outside and the fishermen were humming an unwritten tune.
"Wifey." Stupid Bear's face was also flushed red. His originally sober expression was like a cat seeing a mouse when it saw Ding Yiyi.
Ding Yiyi had recovered most of her strength. She leaned on the window on the inside of the bed and looked at the man before her carefully.
Stupid Bear leaned towards her drunkenly. The alcohol stimulated his wildness and savagery as a man. His eyes turned red as he groped towards the bed.
"Don't come over here." Ding Yiyi grabbed the pillow and threw it at him. Then, she casually grabbed something from the window beside the bed and threw it at him.
Stupid Bear's forehead was hit. He became even more furious and directly jumped onto the bed to press down on her four limbs.
She could not pull away, she could not cry out, the tears were useless, but she cried her heart out. The crying sounded weak and weak under the clamor outside.
Suddenly, Stupid Bear screamed and rolled out of the bed while holding his head. Ding Yiyi was still frightened as she looked at the iron bed that was smashed on the bed.
