Chapter trial reading:
For 10,000 yuan, my father married me. The thing is, I'm not a woman, I'm a man. Also, the person I want to marry is not a living person, but a dead person.
My family opened a small shop next to the crematorium, selling wreaths, incense, candles, paper money and so on.
This store was passed down from my grandfather. When he was alive, the business in the store was pretty good, but once it was passed to my dissatisfied father, it became worse day by day.
I have never met my mother. My father said that she died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. As for other things, he didn’t say a word.
Yesterday evening, an aristocratic middle-aged woman came to the store and went to the back room with my dad to talk for a while.
After coming out, the woman looked me up and down, nodded slightly, and then left.
My dad told me that he had taken on a big business, and before the business even started, he was given 10,000 yuan.
This business is to get married.
To put it more bluntly, my father wants to dress me up as a woman and marry me to a man who has just died three days ago. The ghost wedding will be held on the seventh day of the man’s life.
He sold his own son for 10,000 yuan, which is very different from my father.
He is a drunkard and a gambler.
With such a father, the family is naturally very poor. After finishing junior high school, I had good grades, but I dropped out of school because I couldn't afford high school tuition.
In the past few years, I have been guarding the store. My dad would stay in the store honestly only when he didn't have a penny in his pocket. Even if he still had ten dollars in his pocket, he could secretly buy a bottle of Laobaigan, drink peanuts, hide and drink alone for a long time, and then come back drunk.
Ordinary weddings are held during the day, while ghost weddings are held in the middle of the night.
On the evening of the wedding day, the woman who came to see my father came. She brought a phoenix crown and harem and asked me to put it on. It is very embarrassing for a grown man to wear wedding clothes, even if it is just for fun.
Although I was reluctant, I couldn't stand my father's insistence, and the family was really short of money, so I finally had to bite the bullet and wear the wedding dress.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the wedding team came.
Ghost marriage is an ancient custom, and naturally it must be done according to the ancient ways. Those who came to welcome the bride were naturally not cars, but sedans.
I was carried into an old house by a sedan chair. I quietly lifted a corner of my red hijab and took a peek. I found that half of the house was hung with red lanterns and half with white lanterns.
With a red hijab covering my head, I couldn't see the road at all, so of course I couldn't walk.
At this time, a very tender hand that felt very comfortable stretched out and grabbed my hand. It must be the bridesmaid. A ghost marriage is also a marriage. With me as the bride, I naturally have to have a bridesmaid.
This is the first time in my life that I have held a woman’s hand, and it was a woman who took the initiative to hold me. Thinking about it, I still feel a little excited.
After praying to heaven and earth, the ghost wedding photo said it should be over, but the old woman who presided over the wedding actually roared and was sent into the bridal chamber.
Sent into the bridal chamber? When my dad told me about it before, this didn't happen.
I am a grown man, entering the bridal chamber with a male corpse, or am I on his first seven nights?
This is not seeking death, what else could it be?
The bridesmaid pulled me several times with her little hands, meaning to ask me to follow her, but I didn't move.
At this time, my dad came over and said to me in a low voice: "They added 100,000 yuan. You just need to lie on the bed with the man's corpse all night and leave at dawn."< br>
Is he really my biological father? Is there any real father who cheats his son so much? He could actually ask me to sleep with a male corpse for one night.
"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to me?" I replied to my dad speechlessly.
"You're a tough guy, nothing will happen to you." My dad patted me on the shoulder lightly and said.
I was cheated. It was someone else who tried to cheat me. I could just walk away. But it was my dad who cheated me. What could I do with him?
The woman's little hand gently tugged on me again, thinking that one hundred thousand dollars was not a small amount, and since heaven and earth had bowed, it was not a bad time to enter the bridal chamber.
After a little hesitation, I half-pushed and half-stepped, led by the little hand, into the bridal chamber.
"Please sit down!"
The bridesmaid spoke. This was the first time she spoke today, and her voice was quite pleasant.
During the whole wedding process, I was either standing or kneeling, and I was a little tired. The bridesmaid asked me to sit down, so naturally I sat down.
My butt stung. There is something on the bed. I stretched out my hand and touched it, and found that there were dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds.
Having a baby early?
It is understandable that these things are included in a normal marriage, but dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds are included in a ghost marriage. What is this? People are dead and turned into corpses, can they still have children? What's more, my bride is still a grown man!
I had a bad feeling and felt a chill down my spine.
“Don’t worry, I’m just asking for a good fortune.” The bridesmaid comforted me.
There was a noise at the door, and I could vaguely see through the red hijab that it was the groom coming. He was a corpse, unable to walk on his own, and was carried in by someone.
The red hijab was opened for me by the best man who held the groom’s hand and the wedding scale.
I didn't go to see the groom. What's so good about a dead man? My eyes looked directly at the bridesmaid. The bridesmaid was about thirty years old, very beautiful and feminine.
The male body was placed on the bed, and the best man had already left the bridal chamber.
“Get some rest early!”
After the bridesmaid said this, she turned around and walked out.
“You have to leave too!”
Out of fear, I grabbed the bridesmaid and wanted her to stay with me.
"I'm right outside the door. If you need anything, you can call me. My name is Wen Qin."
Wen Qin took a copper coin from his neck and handed it to my mouth. Hold it in your mouth. Said that as long as the money does not leave the mouth, nothing will happen.
I don’t know whether it’s because she is beautiful or because she has held my hand, but I have a natural affinity for Wen Qin and always feel that she can be trusted.
According to Wen Qin's words, I lay down next to the male corpse and put the copper coin in my mouth.
Today is the first day of this dead man's life. He has been dead for seven days. His body should have some stench no matter what, but I didn't smell any stench at all.
Not only did I not smell the corpse odor, I seemed to smell a faint fragrance. This fragrance seems to be produced by Chinese herbal medicine.
After smelling the fragrance for a while, I, who was still very nervous, slowly relaxed and my mind became drowsy. After a while, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dawn.
I was lying on an old-fashioned wooden bed that was covered with dust and creaked at the slightest movement.
The word "囍" cut out of red paper is pasted on the wall, but the color of the red paper is already a little yellowish.
Is this the old house from last night? It feels eerie in broad daylight. I quickly got out of bed, rushed out of the door, and left that hellish place.
I walked out for almost two or three kilometers and finally returned to a populated area.
This place is located on the outskirts of the city, more than ten kilometers away from the city. I only have a little over ten dollars in my pocket, so taking a taxi back is definitely not enough. Taking the shuttle bus is no problem.
After changing trains twice, I returned to my store.
My dad wasn't home, but there was a letter on the table.
I opened the letter and saw that it was written by my dad.
The general idea is that I have grown up and it is time to be self-reliant. All in all, when my dad left, he only left me a thousand yuan in the drawer.
I risked my life to get married and earned him 110,000 yuan. He left one thousand yuan for me and ran away with the rest.
I don’t know what evil I did in my previous life to end up with such a father.
I was feeling depressed when suddenly two men came to the door. The two men took out a contract, saying that my dad owed them money and gave them the store.
The words on the contract were indeed signed by my father, and I recognize his notes.
I asked why I didn’t see my dad when I came back. It turned out that he had ruined the store and was too embarrassed to see me, so he ran away with the money.
My dad is unreliable, and grandpa knows it. Before he died, my grandfather quietly told me that if I was desperate, I could go to Fangyuanzhai in the flea market to find my second grandfather. Second Grandpa is not Grandpa’s biological brother, but he is better than a biological brother. When my grandfather was alive, he often took me to play with him. After my grandfather passed away, there was no contact between the two families because of my unsatisfactory father.
