Lin Meijiao returned to the Guangdong Hotel in Haitou Town from Hainan Island, and Lin Nancai and his wife were very happy to see their baby daughter who had been separated for many days, "Gillian, I want to kill you!" Mother Lin hugged Gillian and cried into tears. Lin Nancai told his daughter that he couldn't go back to Shipo Village, the real estate and land were all divided, and the hostel in the town was still his own, so he asked his daughter to stay in the hostel to be a helper for her parents.

In the Guangdong Hotel, Lin Nancai is the bookkeeper, Mrs. Lin is in charge of the housekeeping of the guest room, and Lin Meijiao is in charge of the reception and registration at the front desk, and the family of three is doing a prosperous business. Especially the whole town knows that Lin Meijiao of Guangdong Hotel is a famous beauty, Lin Meijiao sits in the front desk as if it is a live advertisement of Guangdong Hotel, some tourists live in Guangdong Hotel, just want to see Lin Meijiao's face. A businessman who has seen countless beauties in the shopping mall once compared Lin Meijiao to the delicate and delicate of a southern woman and the plump and dignified of a northern woman, she is a beauty picked out of the beauty pile! In terms of beauty, there is no one who is unsurpassed in the Leizhou Peninsula.

It is natural for a woman to be as beautiful as a flower, but beautiful flowers always love to attract bees and butterflies. The young men in Haitou Town often come to the Yuehai Hotel to talk to Lin Meijiao when they have nothing to do, and even the militia captain Ah Fu of Shipo Village will go to the Yuehai Hotel to chat with Lin Meijiao and look at her a few more times when he goes to Haitou Town. Seeing this situation, Lin Nancai discussed with his wife to find a good family to marry Gillian as soon as possible, otherwise there would be trouble in the future!

When Lin Nancai and his wife mentioned her marriage to Gillian, Lin Meijiao always ignored and said that she didn't want to get married. Seeing that her daughter had no intention of marrying, Lin Nancai, who was eager to marry a daughter, took it upon herself to arrange a family affair for her daughter.

Lin Nancai's in-laws for Gillian are a family in a nearby town, this family is an Indonesian Chinese, and his family has a big business in Indonesia and the Philippines. The man's family conditions are very good, and he is also very elegant, but he is more than ten years older than Lin Meijiao. Lin Nancai and his wife are very satisfied with this. Under Lin Nancai's arrangement, the man's parents pretended to be guests of the hotel and secretly observed Lin Meijiao for two days, and their impression of the future daughter-in-law was also quite good, and the man's family gave Lin Nancai the gift money in advance.

When Lin Nancai and his wife showdown this family matter to their daughter, they met Lin Meijiao's strong opposition.

Lin Nancai said to his daughter dissatisfied: "Gillian, what a good family this is, what kind of family do you want to choose?" They said that after marrying you, they will take you to Nanyang to be Mrs. Kuo. ”

"How can a man and a woman get married without love! I don't want to be such a broad wife! ”

"Ouch! What do you love or not, how fleshy it is to say from a girl's mouth! When Mother Lin heard the girl say this, her face turned red first.

"Mom, it's a new society now, and men and women need love to get married, like you didn't even know what my dad looked like before you lifted your hijab!"

"Isn't that the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker since ancient times? Generations of people have come over like this, and besides, your dad and I don't think there's anything wrong with it! ”

"Yes, fortunately, you caught up with my dad, a good man, if you run into a drunkard, a big smoker, a big pervert or something like that, you will be unlucky!" Lin Meijiao blocked her mother's mouth with a word.

Lin Nancai asked unhappily on the side: "Gillian, you don't marry a person with such good conditions, then let me ask you, what kind of man do you want to find and your heart?" ”

"Dad, I am only willing to marry the man I like, don't worry about my marriage, I will definitely find a good son-in-law for you to bring home!"

Lin Nancai was anxious: "But we have all accepted gifts from others!" You don't agree with how I can explain it to others? ”

"Dad, am I worth the gift money? I'm your daughter, not something to be exchanged! Get your money back! ”

"Gillian, it's hard to collect the water! Do you understand? ”

"That's something you can figure out by yourself, I can't control it, anyway, I don't want to get married now."

Lin Nancai and his wife saw that they couldn't make sense of their daughter, so they shook their heads helplessly, they planned to return the bride price to the family, and quit this family business, but the other party disagreed, they thought that it was a very shameful thing to be repented of by the Lin family, and they wanted to marry Lin Meijiao no matter what. Lin Nancai and his wife really didn't want to offend others, and finally they made up their minds that no matter whether Gillian wanted it or not, this family business could not change. Lin Nancai ran to Zhanjiang with Gillian on his back to discuss the matter of marrying Gillian with his future in-laws, and the two families were afraid that the marriage would drag on for a long time, so they chose a zodiac auspicious day three days later to pick up Gillian with a sedan chair.

Lin Nancai knew that his daughter had a cowardly temperament since she was a child, had no opinions, and was obedient to her parents, but he didn't expect Gillian to be so tough in marriage. Lin Nancai was iron-hearted this time, he came back from Zhanjiang and said to Gillian: "Gillian, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by their parents, and they can't change it when they come to me!" How good this family business is, you have to marry if you don't marry! Prepare for your in-laws' family to marry you in three days! ”

When Lin Meijiao heard that it was like five thunderbolts, she immediately shed tears of grievance, she said: "Dad, I won't marry!" I don't want to marry someone I don't know! ”

"Won't you understand that you will be with him every day after you get married!"

"It's too late to understand after getting married, isn't it going to be a chicken with a chicken, a dog with a dog!"

Lin Meijiao's mother took over the conversation and said: "Aren't we all women living like this when we get married!" ”

"I don't want to live like this, I am against this marriage!"

"We have worked hard to raise you, you don't know filial piety to your parents at all, if you don't marry this person, I won't recognize you as a daughter!" Lin Nancai slapped the table angrily.

"Don't force me to get married again, okay, if you force me again, I'll leave this house!" Lin Meijiao also showed no weakness.

"Let me tell you Gillian, this marriage is now a complete deal, and you can't help it! In a few days, I will tie you up and take you to your husband's house! ”

Lin Nancai pointed at Lin Meijiao and said to his wife: "I'll find other guys to do the work of entertaining guests, and you can take Gillian home and persuade him well." I'll leave her in your care, you have to keep an eye on her when she eats and sleeps, she will get married in two days, don't let her run away! ”

After Lin Meijiao and her mother went home, her mother followed her like a shadow, basically restricting her freedom, and Lin Meijiao angrily lay on the bed and went on a hunger strike in protest. In the first day or two of the hunger strike, Lin Meijiao was able to survive, but on the third day, she completely collapsed, and she had no strength at all. Lin Nancai and his wife are determined to marry their daughter this time, no matter how Lin Meijiao resists, they will never give their daughter any room for compromise. In the past two days, Lin Nancai prepared all the dowries for his daughter's marriage.

On the first night of Lin Meijiao's marriage, Lin Nancai personally brought a bowl of chicken soup to her bed, and Lin Meijiao turned her head to the side and ignored him when she saw her father coming. Lin Nancai said to his daughter: "Gillian, you are going to get married tomorrow, drink this bowl of chicken soup while it is hot to nourish your body." ”

Lin Meijiao didn't speak, and Lin Nancai saw that her daughter ignored herself, so she put the chicken soup on the table and said, "I'll tell you Gillian, I'm not afraid if you don't eat or drink, tomorrow you have half a breath left, and I'm going to marry you off!" After saying that, he walked out with a snort.

Lin Meijiao saw her father's tough attitude, and she was completely desperate.

When it was time to get married on the third day, before the sky was completely bright, Lin Meijiao slowly sat up from the bed, she called her mother softly, and she said to her mother that she wanted to eat something.

"Gillian, have you finally figured it out?" Mother asked.

"Mom, I figured it out, I know what to do."

The mother thought that her daughter had finally changed her mind, and she was very happy and immediately brought a bowl of chicken soup. She said to her daughter distressedly: "Child, how can you do it if you don't eat all the time, I killed the old hen in our family, and put ginseng and red dates in the soup, you drink it, and you are about to get married, and you have to make up for it." ”

After Lin Meijiao obediently drank the chicken soup brought by her mother, she said that she would take a bath, change her clothes, dress up, and let her mother boil some hot water for herself. Lin Qin hurriedly walked to the kitchen to boil the bath water. After Lin Meijiao took a bath and changed clothes, she put on the red dress she wore when she got married made of silk and satin brought by her mother, and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair. While his mother was away, he tore a sheet into a long strip and twisted it into a rope to make a sleeve and hide it.

Lin Nancai heard his wife say that his daughter had changed her mind, he happily came to Lin Meijiao's house, and when he saw that his daughter had finished dressing up, he couldn't help but laugh happily: "Okay! My Gillian is so sensible! She deserves to be a good daughter of her father! ”

"Dad, I'll be gone in a while, my daughter can't be filial by your side, you and my mother should take care!" Gillian cried bitterly after speaking.

Lin Nancai comforted him with some sadness: "Child, it's a joy to get married, don't cry, I will often see you after you!" ”

At this time, the sky was bright, and the team that picked up the bride came with a sedan chair. Lin Nancai and his wife hurriedly walked out of the door to greet them, and Lin Meijiao was the only one left in the room. At this time, Lin Meijiao plugged in the door of the house, and then moved a stool to stand on it and put the rope she had just made on the beam. Because she had not eaten for a few days, she was very weak, and just as she was about to put her neck into the noose, she suddenly felt dizzy, and as soon as her legs went limp, she fell off the stool, and her head hit the head of the bed, and she fell to the ground unconscious.

The bridegroom on the tall horse was dressed in a robe and a top hat and was helped down from the horse, and greeted Lin Nancai and his wife when they saw him. Mother Lin took her son-in-law to her daughter's house to invite the bride out, but no matter how people outside called the door, there was no sound in the house, Mother Lin pushed the door with her hand in a hurry and found that the door had been locked from the inside, she opened the window to look into the house, only to see her daughter lying on the ground with blood on her head, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The Lin family and his wife called everyone to pry open the door of the house and quickly sent their daughter to the hospital.

Lin Meijiao was seriously injured, she hadn't eaten for several days, her body was very weak, and she was in a coma in the hospital all day. When Lin Meijiao woke up, she saw her anxious parents standing beside her, and her first words were: "Parents, if you really care for me, let me go, you are forcing your daughter to die if you force marriage!" ”

Lin Meijiao's parents were in tears when she said a word. Lin Nancai and his wife only have such a baby daughter, usually treat her as a princess, this time they told their daughter that their in-laws' family was originally for her good, but they didn't expect to almost kill someone, and the couple was full of remorse. Lin Nancai and his wife saw that their daughter was so stubborn that they had to repent of the marriage, and returned the bride price to the man with a smile.

A forced marriage turmoil passed like this, and after that, Lin Nancai and his wife no longer dared to mention the matter of finding their in-laws to their daughter.

Lin Meijiao slowly told her uncle and Wang Hongju what happened to the whole thing, and Lin Nanhui said to Lin Meijiao very happily: "You stupid girl, no matter what, you can't joke with your life!" What if you actually hanged yourself? Your parents and I don't have to die in a hurry!

Wang Hongju also criticized Lin Meijiao and said: "Gillian, you have to remember that human life is only once, and it is valuable and meaningful to die, and you can't just die for unworthy people and things!" ”

Lin Meijiao said helplessly: "At that time, I felt that there was no way at all, so I had to think of dying." ”

Wang Hongju criticized Lin Meijiao again, saying: "You used to be a PLA soldier with party education, and when you encountered the matter of your parents arranging your marriage, why didn't you think of going to the local government to report it?" The people's government is against arranged marriages, and they will definitely make decisions for you! ”

Wang Hongju's words woke up Lin Meijiao and Lin Nanhui, and the two of them looked at Wang Hongju with sudden realization. Lin Nanhui gave Wang Hongju a thumbs up and said: "It's still our Principal Wang who is educated and smart, and it is such an easy thing to solve, but he has to die and come back, Gillian, why can't you think of looking for government help!" ”

Wang Hongju asked Lin Meijiao with concern: "Do your parents know when you came to Hainan?" ”

"I said I was going to Hainan Island to find my uncle, and they couldn't stop me."

"Brother Wang, I treat Gillian as my own, my brother and sister-in-law know that I love this niece, and they can rest assured that Gillian comes to me." Lin Nanhui lovingly poured a glass of water for Lin Meijiao.

Wang Hongju suddenly asked: "Gillian, I understand that you oppose your parents' arranged marriage, is there another reason, you already have a boyfriend, right?" ”

"Who said that? I didn't have a wow! Meijiao blushed suddenly, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Wang Hongju.

Lin Nanhui was reminded by Wang Hongju, and he hurriedly asked Lin Meijiao: "By the way, Principal Wang is right, the in-law that your father found for you is good, why don't you want to marry?" Oh! The head of the art troupe, Wu, said in a letter to President Wang that you already have a sweetheart, don't you say? He asked Lin Meijiao to answer.

Lin Meijiao's face was crimson, her head was deep into the ground, and she didn't speak. Lin Nanhui said unhappily: "Gillian, I'm your uncle, you shouldn't hide it from me, I'll make it clear to you first, if you have a boyfriend, he must pass my level!" ”

Gillian whispered: "Actually, I just like him in my heart, and I don't know if people want me!" ”

Lin Nanhui slapped his thigh: "Hey! It turns out that you are unrequited love! Who is he? Do you need me to give you the old age? ”

Wang Hongju laughed when he saw Lin Nanhui's anxious look, and he said: "Old Lin, you have to believe Gillian's eyes, the person she likes can't be wrong!" I also want to remind you to pay attention to Gillian's emotional problems, don't get involved blindly, be careful of her hunger strike! Wang Hong made the two laugh with a joke.

After the three of them finished dinner together, Wang Hongju returned to his office with some things to deal with, and Lin Nanhui took Lin Meijiao to Wanquan River for a walk. The two chatted a lot along the way, but what Lin Nanhui was most concerned about was Lin Meijiao's personal feelings, and he had a strong curiosity about who Lin Meijiao's sweetheart was.

"Gillian, tell me, who is your sweetheart?"

Lin Meijiao blushed and said, "Uncle, don't ask." ”

"I'm your own uncle, I've treated you like my own daughter since I was a child, why don't you treat me as an outsider? No, you have to tell me! ”

Lin Meijiao lowered her head and still didn't want to say.

"Gillian, there are no outsiders here, just tell me quietly, can't I keep it a secret for you? If you don't tell me, you don't treat me as your own uncle! Lin Nanhui said with a straight face and pretending to be angry.

Lin Meijiao didn't want to make her uncle angry, so she said in a hurry: "If he was someone else, I would have told you a long time ago, but this person, he ,......"

"Who is he? You say, I'm really in a hurry! ”

"You know this person, it's really hard for me to say, because he is, he is," Gillian still couldn't speak.

"What? I know him? Then I'll guess! Lin Nanhui was hung up by Gillian, he didn't let Lin Meijiao say it, Lin Nanhui tilted his neck and guessed this person. Don't look at Lin Nanhui's usual grin, in fact, when he also has ghosts and elves, he rolled his eyes and showed a mysterious smile on his face, he pointed at Lin Meijiao and said, "There is only one person you can fancy it." ”

"Who do you say he is?"

"Far away, close at hand!" Lin Nanhui put her mouth close to Lin Meijiao's ear and whispered a word, only to see Lin Meijiao nodding and covering her face with her hands shyly and turning around, Lin Nanhui laughed happily.

"Gillian, you are so discerning! What's embarrassing to say? ”

Gillian hurriedly turned around and begged: "Uncle, I'm just a crush, he doesn't know my thoughts, and I don't think I'm worthy of him, if I don't make a good deal about it, I'll be embarrassed." ”

"Gillian, why don't you deserve him? In my opinion, you are a perfect match for talented women! ”

Then Lin Nanhui said regretfully: "This is not good! People have targets, and you can't mess around with them! ”

"I've heard of this, so I've been reluctant to say it, so I can only silently keep him in my heart."

"Ouch, how uncomfortable it is to hold this thing in my heart all day long, if it were me, I would have suffocated to death!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Nanhui's words made Lin Meijiao's eyes red, and she seemed to have been wronged and said, "Uncle, why do you say my life is so bad!" I met a man I liked but couldn't marry him, and my parents forced me to marry a man I didn't like! Do you believe in the saying that a lover eventually becomes married? ”

"Gillian, I'm sure you can find a good man!" Lin Nanhui tried her best to appease her.

"Impossible! Ever since I had him in my heart, I have looked down on all men. But I can only hide him in my heart and can't show it, I've been holding it in my heart so sad! After Lin Meijiao finished speaking, she leaned her head on Lin Nanhui's shoulder and cried.

"Gillian, don't cry, uncle understands your heart, but there is no way to do it!"

"Uncle, what I say to you today must be kept secret, and you can't say it!" Lin Meijiao told Lin Nanhui with tears in her eyes.

Lin Nanhui said: "I know. ”
