Blanca pulled me along and whispered in my ear, “Auntie, big sister asked if you could take her away?”
I froze for a moment, I do not know how to answer, I am not the village after all, if rashly took her away, it is definitely not possible, but if quietly took her away, I am afraid we did not go far to be blocked, the strong dragon can not suppress the ground snake.
Seeing me frowning, Blanca was a little sad, but still quietly went to Emily. I knew what she would say to Emily, but still didn’t say much more.
I still have a child in my belly, I can’t not consider for their own children, if once for again here to stir up something, rely on Jimmy alone, only afraid that he can not take care of me, so I can not act rashly.
In a short while, Raymond returned on a motorcycle, with a 5’7″ boy behind him, looking a little dark, with a cold, leering gaze.
I can’t help but frown, I see this from a child and can’t help but think I’m not overthinking it?
A time to put away thoughts, Raymond helped the boy off the motorcycle, the woman ran to the boy like a baby, bending down to carry the boy naturally, mouth chattering, “My heart baby ah, what did the doctor say? Is there anything wrong?”
Raymond frowned, some not too happy said, “Emily this is to want the old son extinct, ah, too heavy hand, but the doctor said it is fine, go home to let the son recuperate well on the line, you carry him into the house, take good care of, I go to find Emily, that little bitch hoof, is a long time to live.”
This is coming from a father, I froze, I have never heard a father can be so abusive to his own daughter, so vicious, so bottomless.
The woman was agreeable and opened her mouth viciously, “If the thd Witt family pickup wasn’t coming in a few minutes, you should have beaten that little bitch to death.”
Raymond opened the door to the bull pen, but instead of going in, he stood at the door and cursed, “Emily, you almost made your old man and I lose our children, that’s at least your brother, how can you do that?”
Inside, Emily laughed, her voice a bit bleak, “How could I do it? Why don’t you ask me why I did this to him? He is your son, but I am not your daughter? You’ve raised a son, not a throne, you buy daughters for your sons, one after another, you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
Raymond for his words, did not take it to heart, froze, “you give me good, good follow thd Witt family that stupid to go, you go to give them thd Witt family have a son, your life is not in vain, otherwise, you are dead, do not come back. ”
Are these the words of a father?
Emily in the cattle pen laughed slyly, extraordinarily sad, and I felt chills listening to it.
After scolding people, Raymond did not say much more, directly back to the house, passing us, smiling and greeting politely, I have no way to describe their mood, always not very good.
Looking at the other girls, who were bluffed by Raymond to stand aside and see what they had to help before helping, I seemed to be able to anticipate that they might be the second, third, and countless Emily’s, whose fate, when they grew up, would be just as inescapable.
I can save one Emily, can I save a third, a fourth?
Seriously, I can’t, I’m not a saint!
The few families in the village came, and two tables took turns sitting and eating. There were no dishes, just some cabbage boiled meat and Clariana beans cooked in water, and the women of the village stood around talking with their children, and Scott came back.
Someone reached out to him and asked, “Mr. Garcia, do you see any more clients you need here? I have five other children at home, all in good health.”
Raymond frowned slightly and spoke, “Not for now, I will inform you if there is, don’t be in a hurry.”
Is this for money, no bottom line at all? They are all born in their own womb!
My emotions were out of control, Jimmy stood beside me and whispered, “Don’t think too much, everyone has their own laws of survival, maybe it’s a necessity, maybe it’s a matter of course, it doesn’t matter, you just have to take care of yourself.”
I purse my lips and keep my head down, not knowing what to say.
After eating, the bride’s welcome came, said the bride’s welcome, it is better to say that is to pick up people, came a white van, the car is full of dust, if not the car mirrors tied to the top of the red flowers, I’m afraid no one knows that this is to welcome the words.
Raymond dragged Emily out of the bull pen, a bride covered in dirt and grime, shocking and helpless at the same time.
She was dragged into the house. Emily looked at me, didn’t open her mouth to ask for help, nor did she say anything to complain, just looked at me with her clear eyes, making my whole body sit on pins and needles, tormented by the self-condemnation inside me.
Jimmy looked at me and spoke, “Don’t think too much, miss, the purpose of our visit has been accomplished, that’s someone else’s business, don’t interfere.”
I pursed my lips and suddenly thought, this time, if Dennis is also in, I can’t do something I want to do, but I can one Emily and no way on millions of Emily ah, all this, the only way to change is that they can only save themselves.
Emily came out of the house with a washed out red jacket, a pair of black pants, messy hair that had been combed, and a bunch of somewhat earthy large red flowers in her hair.
The woman, together with Raymond, helped her and handed her over to the two men who had come to pick her up, and she was then driven up to the car.
The people watching around, smiling, each in their own way to show that the wonderful event of marriage is something to be happy about, no one seems to notice Emily’s sadness, or should I say, no one will care at all.
The van picked the person up, the woman had her other daughters eat, and then had them clean up the mess left by the guest door, while the pair of parents pulled Scott and I to open our mouths to say something dispensable and polite.
Before he left, Scott gave Raymond a red envelope, which looked like about ten or twenty thousand dollars, and he said, “Take this money first, and if the child’s surgery is successful, Miss Kennedy will thank you properly.”
Two people took the red envelope, happy as can be, and thanked them repeatedly.
I never knew what to say, my hand was slightly warmed, I looked down to see that Blanca had taken the initiative to take my hand and looked at me, “Auntie, are we leaving?”
