Flip the table and divide the family property! Take his wife and daughter into the mountains and eat

Liu Cuier felt as if she had been having a very long nightmare.

In her dream, her head was throbbing with pain. One moment she could hear her mother's heart-wrenching cries, and the next she could hear Liu Changgui's furious curses. The chaotic sounds were all mixed together, making her head feel like it was about to explode.

She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy, and she couldn't muster any strength at all. It wasn't until the piercing pain in her forehead became clearer and a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of tobacco filled her nostrils that her hazy consciousness finally began to clear up little by little.

"Oh, you're awake?"

A hoarse, unpleasant male voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Liu Cuier barely managed to open her heavy eyelids. Her vision was blurry at first, but it took her a long time to gradually make things clear.

But the moment their gazes truly converged, she froze completely.

A strange man's face, covered in thick, fleshy muscles, was less than half a foot away from her.

The man squatted in front of her, wearing a shiny black leather jacket, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and a short scar under his left eye twitching slightly with his smile. His gloomy, triangular eyes were openly scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Liu Cuier felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively tried to back away, but as soon as she moved her head, the wound on her forehead felt as if it had been ripped open again, causing her vision to go black and almost making her faint again.

She subconsciously reached up and touched her forehead, her fingertips immediately getting sticky blood on them.

All the memories came flooding back in that instant.

Liu Changgui.

Top door bar.

And that wooden stick that slammed down on his head!

"mother!"

Liu Cuier suddenly remembered something. Ignoring her headache, she struggled to sit up and looked to the side. She immediately saw Aunt Liu slumped over the octagonal table, half of her face swollen and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. She was completely still.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong!"

Liu Cuier's face turned deathly pale, and she tried to crawl towards her mother on all fours.

But she had only crawled half a step out when a rough, large hand suddenly grabbed her collar from behind and dragged her back.

"What's the rush? He's not dead yet."

Ma Santuzi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at her with a half-smile, "Your mother is tough, and you're not bad either. You got hit on the head by your father, and you still woke up so quickly."

Liu Cuier turned around abruptly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with wariness and anger.

"Who are you?!"

"What happened to my mother? Did you hit her?!"

Ma Santuzi laughed heartily upon hearing this, but instead of answering her, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of white paper that he had just written on, unfolded it, and handed it to her.

"Never mind your mother for now."

"Come on, take a look at this."

Liu Cuier was panting heavily. She didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, but when she glanced at the few crooked characters at the top of the paper, she suddenly froze.

— Marriage certificate.

She stared at those two words for several breaths, her mind completely blank for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Ma Santuzi's smile deepened. He lightly tapped the marriage certificate twice with the back of his boning knife and said in a sarcastic tone:

"It's good that you can read, so I don't have to waste my breath."

"Your father owes me 360 ​​yuan. He just scraped together 76.5 yuan and still has 283.5 yuan left to pay."

"But your dad still cares about his hands, and he just gave me a good idea."

At this point, Ma Santuzi's triangular eyes swept over her without any attempt to conceal them, and he grinned, revealing a set of rotten teeth that were yellowed from smoking.

He said, "I'll marry you off to my father."

The anger on Liu Cuier's face suddenly froze.

The room suddenly became unusually quiet.

She didn't look at Ma Santuzi, but turned her head slowly, her gaze passing over the blood and broken porcelain on the ground, finally landing on the man with a sunken nose and a face covered in blood at the base of the wall.

Liu Changgui had just been beaten like a dead dog, but when he saw his daughter wake up, his eyes lit up and he scrambled over to her side.

"Cui'er! It's good you're awake!"

"Father and Third Master have already discussed it! You should quickly agree and put your fingerprint on the marriage certificate, and this debt will be wiped clean!"

"Master Ma is a prominent figure in the surrounding area. His family has plenty to eat and wear. It's better for you to enjoy a comfortable life there than to suffer poverty with us!"

Liu Changgui became more and more anxious as he spoke, as if afraid that she would disagree, and he tried to continue crawling forward while supporting himself on the ground.

"Listen to your father's advice, don't be so stubborn! Every woman has to get married sooner or later, right? It doesn't matter who you marry! Help me cover this three hundred-odd yuan hole, and I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Liu Cuier stared at him without moving.

It seems they didn't understand at all.

A long time passed.

She asked in a very soft voice:

"You..."

"Sold?"

Upon hearing the word "sell," Liu Changgui's ingratiating smile froze for a moment, and then his eyebrows shot up as if he had been greatly wronged.

"What do you mean by 'selling'?!"

"That's so rude!"

He struggled to sit up, leaning against the wall. His nose was broken, and his voice was muffled, but he still had that confident, righteous air about him as a father.

"Cui'er! Your father is finding you a husband, marrying off his daughter! How did it come out as selling her in your mouth?"

Liu Cuier remained motionless, simply staring at him.

Liu Changgui felt inexplicably uneasy under her gaze, but he still forced himself to continue:

"That Ergaizi just came by, weren't you also planning to go on a blind date? You'd marry him if he offered a dowry, so why can't you marry him if Third Master offers a dowry?"

"Besides, in what way is Third Master inferior to that Ergaizi? Third Master is a well-known figure in the surrounding villages. He has money and grain at home, and so many men under his command. You'll live a life of luxury after you marry him, isn't that better than staying in this dilapidated house?"

At this point, Liu Changgui even felt that what he was saying made more and more sense. Enduring the excruciating pain on his face, he moved forward a couple of times and earnestly advised:

"It's true that Dad owes Third Master money, but isn't this perfect? ​​You'll marry into the family, Dad's debt will be cleared, and you'll have a husband's family of your own—a win-win situation!"

"You're my own daughter, would I ever harm you?"

That last sentence was spoken.

Liu Cuier's face suddenly went expressionless.

She just sat there, blood slowly trickling down her cheek from her forehead, dripping onto her clothes.

Liu Changgui, however, remained completely oblivious and continued his incessant chatter:

"Listen to your father, hurry up and put your fingerprint on! It's your good fortune that Third Master has taken a liking to you. Don't be like that idiot from before, ruining things perfectly well—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Liu Cuier's gaze suddenly fell on the octagonal table.

The boning knife that Ma Santuzi had used to scare Liu Changgui had been casually placed on the corner of the table at some point.

A flash of cold light.

The last trace of confusion in Liu Cuier's eyes vanished instantly.

The next second, she pounced on him!

No one expected that this girl, who had just been hit with a stick and whose face was covered in blood, could suddenly unleash such great strength.

She grabbed the boning knife on the table, turned around and charged at Liu Changgui!

"Fuck you!!"

Liu Changgui's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Cui'er!!"

A cold light suddenly slashed down towards his face.
