"I didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. Chen Wenjing said, "I spent the New Year in Hubei City. ”

"You didn't go back last year, why didn't you go back this year?" I was very surprised when I got Chen Wenjing's affirmative answer, "Is there something wrong at home, and you don't want to go back?"

"There are some circumstances, so I don't want to go back. Others go back for the New Year to reunite, but every time I go back for the New Year, there will be quarrels at home, my parents want me to marry early, I explain to them that I am in school, they don't listen, saying that I can get married when I go to school. Chen Wenjing was a little helpless and a little sad, "They also took the people from the next village as an example, saying that people got married at the age of eighteen, and how much bride price they received, I should also marry early, so that I could get the bride price and let my brother get married early." ”

"Now we pay attention to the freedom of marriage, how can there be such a statement, and if you get married at the age of eighteen, you only have a wedding, and you don't have a license, and you don't even have the legal age of marriage, how can you have a marriage certificate?" I said, "Is your bride price very serious?"

"It's very serious, if you have a house and a car, the bride price is 200,000 yuan, if you don't have these two, you have to have at least four or five hundred thousand bride price to be able to marry a daughter-in-law. Chen Wenjing said, "My family's economic situation is not good, I have a younger brother, I haven't studied since high school, I have worked, but I can't endure hardship, and now I have been staying at home, and my parents want to hold their grandson as soon as possible, so they want him to get married early." ”

"But my younger brother is not highly educated, his height is not very good, one meter six, he is not handsome, ordinary, and the family is in such an economic situation, he has been kissed more than a dozen times, all of them are in the soup, and others only need to mention the bride price, and the words basically don't need to be said again. ”

"So your parents hit you with the idea that they want you to marry early, and then give your brother the bride price?" I said.

"Even in this school, my parents actually don't want me to come to study, all the tuition fees are earned by myself, including living expenses, which are also earned by my own part-time work. Chen Wenjing nodded, "Ge Xiaolun saw me buying cosmetics and clothes, thinking that my family was a rich second generation, but in fact, my family's economic situation was not as good as her family." But girls are more face-saving and won't take the initiative to introduce the situation at home, so I haven't told her, so she misunderstood. ”

"People are like this, when they see the glamour of others, they feel that others are doing well, living freely, living freely, and living richly, but in fact they are hidden behind the beauty, and they don't know how much hardship they have paid, and they don't know how much suffering they have endured. I said, "There's really no need to compare with each other, just live your own life, if you really want to compare, you will never be able to compare." Today she can compare with you, and when she compares you to you, she will compare with other people, how tiring is she to live like this? Living in contrast, her desires will not stop, and she will rise wildly, and in the end it will only destroy herself. ”

I guessed that there should be some bad situations in Chen Wenjing's family, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, her parents would actually think about selling Chen Wenjing in order for their son to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Actually, now I also send some money to the family every month, I was thinking of going back during the New Year, my mother suddenly called me, and told me that she had arranged three blind dates for me, and when I said these words, I didn't introduce what the blind date looks like, just said that the family has a lot of money, one has two stores in the town, and selling early can have more than 10,000 yuan a month. These words seem to have been hidden in Chen Wenjing's heart for a long time, this will accompany her to walk, she said it all, "There is another family whose parents are dual-income workers, and there are three or four hundred thousand deposits, all of which have been said, if the blind date is successful, the deposit of three or four hundred thousand yuan will be used as a bride price for my family, and the last one said that he was divorced from his wife, because his wife cheated, and his wife's family itself has money, so he gave him more than 500,000 divorce fees and a house." ”

"Two people can't get married just because they are married, they have to be in love, they have to live and then get together. I said.

"I told them the same thing, but it didn't work, in their eyes, as long as they could afford the bride price and let my brother get a daughter-in-law, it didn't matter who I married
