Su Zi has lived in the countryside since she was sensible.
Before that, she had no idea what happened.
She always believed that the parents in the countryside were her biological parents, so she never doubted her identity.
There are four children in the adoptive parents' home, and she is the youngest and the least favored.
Since I have many children and I am the youngest, I basically have to let my elder sister and elder brother choose first in terms of food, clothing and housing.
In her cognitive world, this kind of thinking has been deeply ingrained. After all, people in the countryside are not wealthy to begin with.
She doesn't ask for much.
It wasn't until one day when she came home from school and some women at the entrance of the village gossiped that she had picked it up that she questioned her life experience.
At home, the whole family is afraid of the adoptive father.
Because he is an alcoholic.
Once drunk, the whole family will have no peace that night.
She is the youngest, so she has the least say at home.
From childhood to adulthood, countless scenes of domestic violence will be deeply engraved in her mind.
What she remembers most deeply is that she watched her adoptive mother being forcibly picked up by her adoptive father and pressed down on the balcony.
The adoptive mother is very thin and cannot match the brute strength of the adoptive father.
No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from her adoptive father's clutches.
That night, with the sound of slaps and slaps, Su Zi could only sit silently in the corner.
Even if her sister, who was ten years older than her, tried to stop her, she was pushed to the floor.
At that time, she thought she had super powers and could save her mother, but at only eight years old, she had no such strength.
At that time, she was most afraid of getting married.
My sister is eighteen years old. Since she is a girl, her adoptive father has no intention of letting her continue studying.
Even though she was admitted to a key university, her elder sister still had to leave the school tuition and living expenses to her younger brother, who was in junior high school.
In that small village, preference for boys over girls was very serious.
For the adoptive father, a girl can be married when she is eighteen years old.
At that time, I can still get a certain amount of bride price from the man to make up for the money he spent raising his daughter in the past eighteen years, and that's it.
Therefore, it is simply a fantasy in this family for a girl to finish college.
For this reason, when she reaches the age, her neighbors start to introduce her to her.
At that time, Su Zi looked at the matchmakers who came to her home one after another and felt that they were the incarnation of the devil.
It seems that once she gets married, her sister will encounter the same fate as her adoptive mother.
In the eyes of these adults, as long as they nod their heads and agree to the matchmaking and go to meet the target, there will be a result soon.
What she couldn't understand the most was that if the matchmaker went to your house many times to negotiate with you but failed, then the girl in this family would be picky. Then her reputation would be damaged, and people around her would find it difficult to get married.
Therefore, the adoptive father decided to marry his sister as the first person introduced by the matchmaker.
For this reason, Su Zi has no expectations for marriage.
It seems that marriage is just a transaction for her, a transaction that will not lead to happiness.
As a result, she began to fear the arrival of eighteen.
The age of eighteen meant that a matchmaker would come to her door to arrange a match, so she got married in a daze.
At that time, she was afraid of growing up every day.
But the days passed quickly.
Until one time, she met Mr. Su at the beach.
When Mr. Su was in trouble, she, who was very good at water, saved Mr. Su and successfully solved the mystery of her life experience.
Suzi always wears a necklace with a one-inch photo of herself as a child on it.
She still keeps that photo, but she no longer wears the necklace.
