After a hard day at work in the fields, San Mio and San Mila returned home to Kiki as usual, this time they packed the products they had made.
With the help and ideas of Kiki, her sister and Ling Jin tried to pack the products neatly to the standard for the first time.
The end result is quite good, even the clothes they make themselves feel so new and never thought if they were able to make clothes as good as this.
Although you have to swallow the disappointment of not being able to wear it yourself, but this will also make the rupiah coffers. So there was so much hope in the hearts of the three of them especially with the two sisters who had indeed never seen how one cent looked like.
San Mio with shining eyes, shouted "Kiki, we are so grateful for everything you have done for us. This product will be sold soon, and we will soon pay the production cost."
"There's no need to be so formal, you're my friends. I'm happy to be able to help." said kiki casually as if what he spent was not money at all but paper.
It used to be possible that they would feel embarrassed and awkward but now there was only cheerfulness and laughter. Because Kiki actually said the thing that came from the bottom of her heart.
For San Mio and San Mila, Kiki was not a human but a savior.
When night fell, they both had to return to their homes, and they knew that there would be no food waiting for them. Before leaving, they had already eaten at Kiki's house.
Along the way, they keep talking about the production of accessories and apparel.
"This is a great opportunity for us, Mio. We have to make the most of it" San Mio said
San Mio also agreed with that, he said"Yes, we have to work hard and pay back the help Kiki has given. He's very nice, Brother"
Both of them praised Kiki nonstop, When they got home, they found their families had gathered in the living room.
Usually at this hour, everyone has gone to their respective rooms because lamp oil is also expensive.
"Mother, father, grandmother, why haven't you slept at this hour?"san Mio's.
Here no one spoke, but Mother Mio immediately mocked the two of them loudly.
"These two of you, really have no shame! Always just go away and ruin the good name of our family in the village!" said Mio's mother.
She was tired of being angry all day because she was the girl she was born with.Truely said the mother-in-law, giving birth to a daughter, will only make malunfan waste money.
San Mio did not want to fight her mother, so she still tried to explain even though there was a bit of a lie there"Mother, we just went looking for food in the mountain Bu, she said,it's because we know there won't be any food at home for us."
Mio's mother is already upset, she immediately ignores Dan Mio's explanation even though it sounds reasonable "No matter what your reasons are! You've ruined the reputation of this family, I as the mother who gave birth to you both became embarrassed, you know!"
Plaque.plaque...plaque...
Mio's mother hit her many times, but San Mio did not fight back at all nor did she avoid.One time Kiki once said, being a mother in the middle of an old-school thinking environment, it's not easy at all.
Mother was also actually helpless, just like San Mio and her sister.
Seeing Sana Mio being hit but not fighting back, everyone felt San Mio was really scared.
Moreover, Mio's father said in a stern tone "Daughters should obey and help at home. This is your job. Which country girl does not help at home, cook feed the pigs also wash in her house?"
Seeing the two sisters still not answering, the uncle and aunt also said some unpleasant things. They also mentioned that these two sisters were really a loss-making item and were only good at embarrassing the family
San Mio remained calm despite feeling angry at her mother and father. He knew that fighting them would not help. They could have gone to his room, but San Mio remained determined to never back down against her uncle, aunt, and cousin.
San Mio's mother was content to see her two children offer no resistance at all, but in fact, in their hearts, they felt anger and despair. They've learned how to respect parents, especially after talking to Kiki.
However, when the mother delivered the news of the engagement with a dowry of Rp1,000, fear and confusion suddenly struck San Mio. He recalled that he had previously refused the engagement, and now the mother had accepted the proposal without his consent.
San Mio: (in a stern tone) "No, mother, I will not marry! I don't care what happens, I won't get married, and I'll give you my job in the fields to take. But I'm not getting married!"
Grandma, with red eyes and a face full of anger, threw her fallen wand near her feet.
Grandma screamed out loud with emotion"Whatever happens, you have to get married! If you refuse, then this marriage will fall on your sister's shoulders, Mila!"
San Mila, who had been trying to contain her anger, heard the threat and felt shocked. He was very young, only 16 years old, and had no power to defy family orders.
San Mio was no less emotional, she was also full of anger."No, I'm not getting married, and my sister isn't getting married either! Whoever dares to coerce us, get ready I'll go on a rampage, and I'll make sure that anyone dies in this house!"
San Mio usually only threatened, but this time he spoke with honesty. If others consider him a demon, then he is ready to become a demon. He would not let his sister suffer the same fate.
San Mio looked at her parents and said in a cynical but sharp tone "I wouldn't even care if you were our father and mother! If you don't care about our life and death, why should we care about your life and death?"
Meanwhile San Mio's face was already completely unsightly, Reputation and marriage would no longer be a restraint for them, because right now the most important thing is to protect themselves and their little sister from an unwanted fate.
A marriage for him is an endless pit of fire. A suffering that will last a lifetime.
Everyone in the room felt a deep anger filling San Mio's words. This child had truly become a demon that could not be pollinated anymore.
"Mio, you demon, if I knew you'd be like this then from birth I would have strangled you to death..you can't be like your brother if he doesn't want to get married then you're the one who's getting married tomorrow?" mio's mother said with a broken fracture.
San Mila heard her mother's words, her body had not stopped trembling from fear and was also confused.But she remembered with Kiki's words ,if you want to live better, then you have to dare to fight and take all the risks.
So he ran into the kitchen but was held up by his cousin San Bao.He was an 18-year-old male, usually in the village there would be a married 18-year-old. But since their family is poor & has no money to pay dowry & so she still survives at this age and becomes single.
But if one of these girls managed to marry into the ex-military's family, rp1,000 could be used to pay for the dowry of the girl who could be his wife.
Therefore, San Bao immediately advanced against Mila who wanted to go to the kitchen.
Mila's hand was locked to the back so the young girl screamed in pain.
"Ahh sick, let go of me shit" shouted San mila loudly.
San Mio saw that and she came forward to stop her cousin. But there was his father who slapped him so that he lapsed backwards.
"Dad,dau ..ahhh"
The pitiful scream from San Mio was heard when her hair was pulled by Aunt who was also angry as well as upset.
His uncle was also angry but they would not fight with a woman moreover this was still a young girl. So they just look at it and give the oil to make the fire more vibrant.
There was also a grandmother who applauded festively as if it was not a beating but a very funny clown show.
"Good, teach him a lesson, hit him again"
In the blink of an eye, the two sisters were already battered.Their father and mother and aunt beat them mercilessly.
Coupled with the same support people they thought they were heroes at the time.so the sound of slaps and punches did not stop until 1 hour later.
If it stopped it was because San Mio had fainted and San Mila was also already weak because there were some injuries on her body.
San Mila watched with watery eyes how her older sister, San Mio, had been lying on the floor, unconscious. His heart was filled with despair, and he felt devastated. She wanted to cry and scream, but helplessness permeated every fiber of her body.
As the beating continued, San Mila felt herself getting weaker. He had tried to defend himself and his brother, but his strength was almost depleted. He could only see helplessly, and tears flowed from his eyes nonstop.
The beating continued, and San Mila felt like a helpless doll, left to be tormented by the cruel reality she could not change. His head felt heavy, and he almost lost consciousness.
In this helplessness, San Mila was humbled by her hard and miserable life. He wished there was a way out of all this, but right now, he felt trapped in the darkness that was suffocating him.
Suddenly San Mila fainted.
Facing the two girls who were sprawled unconscious from inhumane beatings, San Mio's father simply threw an indifferent look towards them, with no guilt sticking up at all.
Unlike the father, San Mio's mother, despite the anger and resentment in her heart, still felt there was room for affection and affection towards her two children. However, he sincerely wished for the beating this time to be the first and last for the two girls he had born.
According to him, this beating should be a lesson pervasive within them, in order to become more obedient in the future.
Grandma and Grandpa San were full of satisfaction seeing this development. Grandma said with a triumphant face, "Dier, let's take this opportunity and take this wicked girl away to the man's house. Don't wait for him to wake up. This trash must be thrown out of our homes immediately."
Grandpa San chimed in, "Your mother was right. Let's take him away, and don't forget to bring home a dowry of 1,000 Rupiah. Tell them that they have every right to do anything to this girl, because from now on, she is the daughter-in-law of the house. About Mio's dowry, we'll talk about tomorrow."
Cousin Mio heard that and smiled widely. They had already discussed the matter with the male side's family this afternoon, and it was said that 1,000 Rupiah would have arrived at hand if the girl had already been sent.
"Finally I will get married too, hahaha, Mio, I'm sorry to bother you hehehe" said his cousin with a big smile.
Not only him, but everyone was already able to smile widely, but no one among the San family thought. About how this girl's life will run in her husband's house later.
None of them included Mio's father and mother.
The wedding this year is pretty easy. If there's money, make a banquet. If not, send the woman and let her spend the night in the men's room. It was already considered a marriage if his presence there was known to both parties.
The helpless San Mio knew nothing as her body was lifted and delivered to the man's actual home just 5 kilometers away from their village.
Earlier this afternoon, the village chief there also knew that someone would send a daughter to be a daughter-in-law in the house.
So this is not a human trade, but a marriage.In the modern era, this is also called a marriage siri.If you want this marriage inaugurated, they will file a marriage license.If not, this is also called a marriage, this will be considered legal in the eyes of the people.
Poor San Mio.
In the morning, the unconscious San Mila suddenly ran towards Kiki's house crying.
In this village, only Kiki can help him.
