66. Escape from marriage

During the Spring Festival, everyone was busy, and relatives and friends who had worked hard for a year for their own lives and had not been in touch took the opportunity to get together to visit each other and contact feelings, but I and Sister Xia He were nested in a corner of Xi'an, enjoying the warmth of a small home for the first time. Shortly after lunch on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I received a call from my father from the town's post and telecommunications office, saying that a girl from Hong Kong was looking for me. I guessed that He Jie arrived, and I was surprised that the New Year came to me, what is the urgency?

I had no choice but to ask Sister Xia for leave, leaving Sister Yingying to take care of her, and hurried home by myself.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I saw He Jie wearing a military coat and eating, as soon as he saw me, he threw down his chopsticks, regardless of the presence of my parents and parents, he threw himself directly into my arms, his eyes were full of crystals, I was embarrassed and just wanted to find a crack to get into, but when I saw He Jie's affectionate face staring at tears, the softness in my heart was touched, and I gently wiped away her tears in distress, and led her upstairs to my room first.

plugged in the heating stove, hugged her and sat down slowly, and when she calmed down, she asked, "Sister He, are you here alone?" He Jie nodded.

"Really? How did you get here?

"I've been to your house, I know the general place, I lived in Shanghai last night, and I found it myself after getting off the plane early this morning. I just didn't expect you to be so cold in winter here, and you wore a little less, and you shivered from the cold, and it was my uncle who put his military coat on me to warm up. ”

Looking at her little face that was red from the cold, I hurriedly went downstairs to eat, and asked my mother to cook a bowl of ginger soup and bring it up. You know, the airport is still far away from our home, according to the traffic conditions at the time, there are basically no taxis, during the Spring Festival, it is even more difficult to catch a vehicle, a girl's home, to fly thousands of miles, rely on the memory of the heart to find here, then how much hardship to endure. What puzzles me is that with my understanding of He Jie, she has never been an impulsive person, and this time she suddenly came to me after a lot of hardship, something must be wrong.

"Didn't I let Linlin say a little and say hello to the two of you, are there anything important about you coming to me in such a hurry?"

"Nothing particularly important, my sister called you a few times, but you are always not at home, I heard Linlin say that you have gone home for the New Year, my sister thinks about the insomnia you want to have nights and nights, simply, just impulsively once, come to see you. ”

"Sister, you are a calm and wise person, why are you so stupid this time? Thanks to you coming two days early, you can still see me, otherwise I would have flown to Qingdao after the sixth day of the new year. ”

"Oh, what are you going to do in Qingdao, where are there any patients who need you?"

"No, I'm going to buy a house somewhere, I live by the sea when I'm on vacation, and I can see the sea all the time. ”

"Oh, if you just want to buy a house by the sea for vacation, I can give you a good suggestion, now the country is gradually reforming and opening up, Guangdong Shenzhen is a pilot special zone, you should know this, right? Commercial housing is very easy to buy, advanced social management, has been close to Hong Kong and Macao, telephone, transportation and other infrastructure are very developed, the future development will definitely exceed other cities in the country, where to buy the house, whether it is as an investment or vacation life, are the most suitable for you. The second suggestion to buy a house in Shanghai also has the above reasons, like you, you often have to go out, and it is convenient to take a plane without transferring. ”

He Jie is right, this suggestion makes me feel moved, these two cities are good, you can buy your favorite commercial house with money, I can't help but nodded, I secretly admire in my heart, or He Jie is well-informed.

"If you decide to buy a house in these two places, I have friends in both cities, I can call them and ask them to do it for you right away, you just have to go and live. ”

I slapped my thigh: "That's it, buy a 130-square-meter unit with at least three bedrooms in each city, and you can live anywhere you want, and consider it as an investment." ”

Later, she said some other things, but He Jie never mentioned her real purpose for looking for me. Since she doesn't want to say it for the time being, and I don't force it, there must be times when she can't hold back.

"Linlin is already married, and his husband went on a trip, in two months, Li Qian will also get married, and I will be left alone, my old man also urged me to get married a few years ago, I don't want to marry that sissy man, I quarreled with the old man, I have to take refuge in you, how about taking in my sister?"

I didn't think about it, and replied without hesitation: "Sister, how can you ask such a raw word? Do you know that I am a person who values love and righteousness, can I leave you alone? ”

He Jie's eyes were red, and she suddenly hugged me and cried bitterly.

Looking at He Jie's abnormal performance, I realized that something must have happened, could it really be that I had a quarrel with Mr. He? I was kicked out of the house?

I gently patted He Jie's back, let him hug me and cry bitterly, my brain was racing: it is very likely that I really quarreled with Mr. He, He Jie is 26 years old this year, it should be her parents who forced her to get married, according to the practice in Hong Kong and Macao, after marriage, the woman generally resigns to be a full-time wife, and she can no longer show her head at home, at most in the man's family business, do some famous and powerless work. This is nothing more than the biggest blow to a woman who is very enterprising and power-hungry. And He Jie happens to be this kind of woman, with Wu Zetian's talent and desire for power. In order to get married, give up the existing power and status in the family business, and go to husband and children, it is indeed unwilling. But if you don't get married, and you're getting older, can you afford to delay?

It's a contradiction, and it's hard to balance. If you marry the man's family and continue to control the family business, then Mr. He is not willing, who knows if you will be an outgoing girl, reveal business secrets, or join forces with the man's family business to swallow and eat your mother's business?

The so-called "benevolence does not lead the army, righteousness does not do business, goodness does not serve as an official, and laziness does not govern education", in the fiercely competitive shopping mall, how can there be righteousness to talk about? There is no room for "righteousness" at all, otherwise you will die a very embarrassing death, and elimination is inevitable.

When He Jie finally stopped crying, she told me that her parents forced her to marry, but she was unwilling, and made a big noise, and her parents did not take a step back, even if she promised not to marry for the rest of her life, her parents, especially her mother, resolutely disagreed. It's understandable, as a parent, who wants their daughter to be lonely for a career?

There is also a reason for not wanting to marry, that is, the two of them have no feelings for each other, and the man has some sissies, which she suspects is homosexual.

Sure enough, I was right. This kind of upper-class family conflict is too complicated, and I can't help anything, so I have to sigh and say: "Sister, you are running away from marriage, you are running away, making things more complicated." So what are your plans for the future?"

He Jie wiped away her tears, regained her composure, took a deep breath, and then said:

"To tell you the truth, I have a plan, my sister has worked for so many years, and she has saved a little money, not much, only 1.5 million US dollars, equivalent to 18 million yuan (the exchange rate at that time was about 1:12), even if she doesn't do anything now, it is enough for her sister to live a life in style, but my sister is unwilling, I will not go back to this time and the family, so I want to run my own business in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, be my own boss, and never want to work for others again. My sister doesn't want to make too much money, my sister just wants to prove her worth. How about if you trust your sister, you can do it with your sister? Invest a little bit as well, be a shareholder, and sit and collect money every year?"

From what I know about her, this girl is a career-oriented strong woman by nature, talented, resourceful and means, much more powerful than me, she must be doing something, and investing in her must be right, at least she will not lose money. So he agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I admire my sister's ability very much, how much do you need me to invest, you just ask." ”

He Jie hugged me excitedly and kissed me wildly: "Actually, my sister is all for you and earning money for you." Why do you say that? Because my sister has a wish, which is to be your lover for life. My sister didn't dare to marry you, let's be honest, my sister had three boyfriends before I met you, the first one made me the most tempting, I was still in college at that time, my first love was given to him all the night, I also decided to follow him for the rest of my life for him, but unfortunately I was too young at that time, I didn't understand love, and was played by others; the second was to find a job by myself after graduation, I met in the unit, a boy who was excellent in all aspects, but saw me being bullied by the boss, but persuaded me to be patient, unlike a man, we got along for more than half a year, and broke off the relationship after I resigned and left; the third was the company employee I met when I worked in the family business, I was very attentive to me, and it also touched my heart, and after more than half a year, I accidentally discovered the true face of this guy, who was actually for the wealth of my family, and wanted to borrow my identity to climb to the sky and enjoy it. Later, although I also dated a few, all of them were greedy, either greedy for sex or greedy for money, and they all had a strong sense of purpose.

Since then, I don't believe in love anymore, our three sisters are classmates and girlfriends who talk about everything, often have fun together, and basically the same experience between us makes us more intimate, so we often go to the bar together to drink and get drunk, and play games with men. ”
