Chapter 77 [Big Trouble]
Repaying the debt of more than 26,400 rupees in ten months is a huge burden for Harsukh, who uses a rickshaw to carry goods and do business. He had to do this for his 14-year-old daughter, otherwise his daughter would have to rot at home and become a burden to the family.
After all, the older a woman is, the harder it is to get married. Even if Harsukh's father bought a lottery ticket and won a dowry of millions of rupees, he would never find a suitable son-in-law. How can a father not be anxious? It's better to be anxious, don't mortgage your 30-year-old wife.
In ten months, if the loan is not repaid, this 30-year-old woman will become a slave of the Belsinger family. Slaves who can be disposed of by their masters at will, without any personal freedom and personality rights. Knowing such serious consequences, Harsukh had no choice but to bite the bullet and bear it, taking his wife as collateral for this absurd thing.
Only Indians can do it. Don't say that there has always been such a rule of mortgaging wives in rural India. Although it is illegal, it is reasonable and legal to mortgage or sell a wife in India. Women who are sold or mortgaged can only accept the fact with tears and cannot resist at all. This is also a very strange folk custom in India.
Harsuk, who mortgaged his wife and finally bought back two tons of cement and 40 asbestos tiles, immediately became a celebrity in the village. The social status, layer by layer, made Harsuk feel that he was very smart in the business of mortgaging his wife in exchange for building materials, and the facts proved that he was right.
However, Harsuk, who was about to build a house, encountered a troublesome matter. Although the 14-year-old eldest daughter could help the family fulfill the responsibilities of a hostess. But a house cannot be completed by one or two people, as the food and accommodation arrangements for the person who is to complete the house repair with the owner. This is not a distance task that a 14-year-old girl can complete, which makes Harsuk miss his wife for the first time.
At this point, his wife has been mortgaged to Singh Building Materials Store and is now working as a maid in the building materials store. Washing clothes and cooking, if the loan is not paid off, your wife is not yours. Harsuk is very clear about this. This is to build a house. Without the arrangement and preparation of the hostess, it is impossible to complete the century-long plan of building a house. What should I do?
Don't you really say that crooked people have crooked tricks? I mortgaged a wife, can't I marry another wife? When Harsuk, who was about to build a house, spread the word that he planned to marry another wife, although Harsuk was 41 years old, the matchmaker still came to the door.
The girls who wanted to get married through the matchmaker ranged from 13 to 20 years old, and the price of the bride price paid reached 20,000 rupees. Although this amount of money could not redeem his wife, it could still solve some of the family's financial difficulties. I didn't expect Indians to get married so quickly. Two days later, cement just arrived at Harsuk's house. Harsuk, who mortgaged his wife, had already held the wedding and married a 17-year-old wife.
With a wife and the dowry brought by his wife, he finally had money and someone could build a house. So everyone started working in a hurry. Otherwise, why do we say that Singh Building Materials Store is doing a booming business? Bel Singh is really good at doing business. The building materials store even arranged an after-sales service. This after-sales service is different from other machine maintenance departments. Instead, it instructs those who buy building materials on how to build qualified cement houses.
As long as you buy more than two tons of cement, Singh Building Materials Store will send a salesperson to instruct you on how to repair the house and how to dig the foundation. How to use cement, steel bars and bricks to build a house, how to weave boxes to complete the construction of door frames and window frames, it can be said that he is a rural construction engineer in every detail.
Of course, every house repair is not a small project, it can be said to be a century-long plan, so all relatives will come to help. It is impossible to ask for wages for relatives to help, but you, the owner of the house, must provide them with food, drink and accommodation, so the 20,000 rupees dowry will soon be spent. When the house was repaired, it was ten days later, and the dowry brought by the newly married wife was only 3,000 rupees.
It was enough for the whole family to live on for a few months, but if the 25,000 rupee loan could not be repaid after a few months, the wife would be given to someone else. So after the house was repaired, Harsuq, who had mortgaged his wife, worked hard to save money and wanted to redeem his wife.
But it happened that while Harsuq was busy repairing the house at home, Bel Singh took his wife to play with others in RB. When they were happy, something happened in the building materials store, and this was not a small matter. It almost shocked the whole town of Sinjar, and the old housekeeper Mr. Jamal who stayed at home was worried about his hair. He couldn't think of how to solve the current dilemma, so he had to call and inform Bel Singh, who was enjoying the tropical beach in Malaysia, about this matter.
Why did the matter become so big? The crime scene should be transferred to 7 o'clock on the second night when Harsuq repaired the house. The eldest wife, who worked as a maid in Singh's auction house, happened to collect and fold the clothes of a 20-year-old Singh male servant named Almushar, and sent them to the room where Al lived.
At this time, there was no one in the room, and the weather was quite hot and humid. Harsuq's wife had worked all day, washing clothes and cooking, and her only sari was soaked with sweat. Seeing that no one was around, the woman became bolder and untied her sari and put it on, bending over to make the bed for Singh's servant, the 20-year-old Almushar.
Although this woman was already the mother of four children, she had a beautiful figure and was pretty except for being a little dark. The only sari was almost naked making the bed by the bed. Any man should have a reaction to this kind of erotic situation, not to mention that Almushar, who was not married at the age of 20, returned to his dormitory and saw such an erotic scene. It would be strange if he could control his belt.
Besides, from ancient times to the present, no matter which city in India, the crime rate of rape is high, and women who are raped in the folk will be treated unfairly. They think that they are seducing men and will suffer such a bad fate, while rapists are not so hated, which further promotes the prevalence of rape in Indian society.
Good guy, a 20-year-old unmarried boy saw a naked 30-year-old woman in a dormitory late at night. This is still good. It would be strange if he could still control himself. He quietly returned to the dormitory and secretly glanced at the warehouse outside. It was quiet, then slowly closed the door, pulled the curtains on the door and locked the door.
The click woke up Alsuq's wife who was concentrating on making the bed. She quickly tidied her clothes and looked up. Just when she wanted to go out, seeing Alsuq's red eyes, Alsuq's wife knew that she was in trouble.
