Love story part three

"Na she's too scrawny" Joseph said as he dropped my chin which he held in his grimy hand. "But man she will clean, and cook for you and of course you can keep her for quite sometime she'll make you a strong young wife" when he said that I stood shocked at the way this conversation conspiring before me was going. I started to run I ran without knowing were I was going then I tripped on a log trying with all I had in me to get away tears blurred my vision as I got up pa caught me taking hold of my ear he dragged me back to cabin."Think I will take her I like them with a little spunk but she is worth three jugs." Joseph declared taking a hold of my arm as he waved pa toward some jugs by the cabin. Pa gathered them up and rode off singing Oh Susanna stopping once in a while to take a swig of whiskey. The mans grip on my arm as he led me into the cabin was gentle but hurt because of the bruise. When I entered that cabin I just about became sick it was the worst place I have ever been in or hope to be in! The Stagnant smell of unwashed, clothes; plates; dog; and unwashed man, filled the air. The earthen floor was covered in chew tobacco I was told to to sleep on the it in front of the fire and if I moved an inch the dog would growl. Joseph made his way to a small room were his bed was I soon heard him snoring. looking at the floor in disgust I curled up on a chair and cried myself to sleep. I was up before the sun after starting the fire I picked up all the clothing and threw them out on the porch the dog watched me so closely that it made me nervous this is not were I wanted to be I had to make the best of it so I went to work I hauled four buckets of water heating them on the wood stove. I dumped the first bucket into a metal tub were I then stuck all the dirty dishes. One of the other bucket I soaked the clothes. After the dishes sat for a few minutes I proceeded to wash them Joseph hearing the noise came out of his room and watched me for a short time getting bored he took down his gun and went off into the woods.
