The news that caught me off guard scared me.

Obviously, more than a month ago, she was still admiring Meng Hanlin, why was she about to get married in the blink of an eye?

Zhang Xiaofei's mother asked her in disbelief, "Xiaofang, why did you suddenly get married?" Haven't you heard you're dealing with someone? ”

Xiao Fang smiled wistfully, "It's a person who is given to me by the family, the person is very good, and I'm not too young, so I'll get married." ”

"You...... You're only two years older than Xiao Jiang. My mother followed suit, "Besides, how long have you known that person?" Isn't it too hasty to get married like this? ”

"It's been more than a month, and it's good to talk every day." Xiaofang lowered her head, "My parents think that others are good, and I look okay, so be it." ”

"Xiaofang, is there something hidden here?" I remembered that in the past few days, Xiaofang was indeed depressed, but we were all busy with other things, and no one noticed.

"No ......" Xiao Fang's head hung lower.

"Xiaofang, if you have something to say, don't hold it yourself, if you have any difficulties, you can't feel uncomfortable." Zhang Xiaofei's mother said loudly.

Xiao Fang raised her head, glanced at her, and suddenly cried, "Auntie, it's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't do anything about it...... I didn't particularly want to marry that man either, but...... But my brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law, the woman wants a high bride price, and she wants a new house, and my family has no money, so my mother found me a partner, and the man is willing to give a high bride price, and my mother said, so that the family can have money to marry my brother's daughter-in-law. ”

Shen Bi and I were shocked.

Although this patriarchal thing is not very rare in this era, when it really happens to a person around me, I still can't accept it.

"Xiaofang, your family background is okay, get together, the bride price should not be exchanged for you." Zhang Xiaofei's mother said with a frown.

Xiaofang cried even more, "My mother said that the money can't be spent all at once, and it has to be left for my brother and daughter-in-law to have children......"

"This ...... That's too much! Zhang Xiaofei's mother angrily threw the oil leak on the stove, took Xiaofang's hand and shouted, "Let's go, I'll take you to tell your mother, this is too much to treat your daughter as a human being, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, how can you do this." ”

"Don't, aunt, don't ......be like this," Xiaofang's body kept shrinking back, "My mother said that she has raised me with good food and drink for so many years, and it's time for me to return home, if I don't go, I will be too white-eyed wolf and too conscienceless." Auntie, I can't refuse ......"

"Why are you so weak, child? It's about your lifelong happiness, you have to fight, you have to find someone who likes you and is suitable to marry. Zhang Xiaofei's mother taught Xiaofang, "I don't have to care about your idle business, but you have to think about Xiaofang clearly, if you don't want to, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you tell your family." But if you want to, then I'll not tell you these things. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaofei's mother let go of Xiaofang's hand and went back to the kitchen.

"Auntie, I'm sorry." Xiaofang choked while crying, "I know you are for my good, but if I want to leave so willfully, my brother will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and my parents will be embarrassed, I can't be so selfish." ”

As she spoke, she bowed to my mother and Zhang Xiaofei's mother, "Thank you for taking care of me these days, I'm going to resign." ”

I watched from the sidelines, and suddenly I couldn't help but pry her head open to see what was inside.

Obviously, she looked like a lively girl in the past, why was she so pedantic in this matter?

"Sister Xiaofang, are you really willing to marry someone you don't like?" Shen Bi couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Fang rubbed the corners of her eyes and sobbed twice, "What if you like it or not, the person I like doesn't like me." ”

She was talking about Meng Hanlin.

It dawned on me for a moment.

Xiaofang was afraid of refusing her parents on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was probably because Meng Hanlin didn't like her, so she gave up on herself.

"Xiao Fang." I couldn't help but persuade her, "You can think about it carefully, even if you can't marry the person you like, you have to marry someone who loves you." ”

I glanced at Zhu Lei, who had never said a word.

Xiao Fang also glanced at Zhu Lei, but quickly lowered her head, "My mother has already made an appointment with that person's family...... The wood is already in the boat, Xiao Jiang ...... I envy you so much, you can go to university, and you can still get in touch with people as good as Mr. Ji, and when you are admitted to universities in other cities in the future, you will meet more excellent people......"

"If you want to get on, there's still a chance." I pursed my lips, "You can go to the third year of high school with me now and retake the college entrance examination." ”

"Nope." Xiao Fang shook her head abruptly, "That's it, I also know that I am not the material for learning, and if I pick up the books again, I won't be able to learn well, and I will waste time and money in vain." ”

I don't know what to say anymore.

People are most afraid of giving up on themselves, and no one can save her at this time.

Xiaofang left, taking with me the salary I had settled for her, as well as the wedding money I had given her in advance.

And I, while preparing for my busy senior year of high school, continued to recruit people.

This time, there was no class assignment in the third year of high school, but seats were assigned.

Su Wen and Hou Liang and I were separated, but Zhu Tian was still sitting behind me.

I don't think I care, anyway, I don't have much intersection with him, and now that I'm in the third year of high school, the burden of learning is on my head, and every study is buried in studying, and no one has idle time.

Even Li Mengmeng, who has always been against me, has made rolls honestly.

But I didn't expect that one day, about a week after the start of school, Zhu Tian suddenly came up to me and said to me in a deep voice, "Shen Jiang, I have something to look for you." ”

"What's the matter?" I asked casually as I packed my things.

"Come with me, I've got something to tell you." Zhu Tian's face was a little heavy, but his tone was quite normal.

I didn't think much of it, so I answered, "I know, wait until I'm ready to pack my things." ”

Su Wen came over and heard our conversation, pulled me and said, "Xiao Jiang, I want to go with you too." ”

"Nope." Zhu Tian immediately stopped, "I have something to find Shen Jiang alone." ”

"Why? Is there anything I can't know? Su Wen was unhappy, "Besides, you didn't hear the rumors that spread some time ago, how hard Xiao Jiang refuted the rumors, what if you go alone with her again, what should you do if the rumors get up again?" ”

"I ...... But I really had something to tell her alone. Zhu Tian stiffened his neck and said, "I'll pay attention to it and don't let others talk nonsense." ”

"That's not going to work either." Su Wen still didn't give up, "What if you deliberately bite our family's Xiaojiang." ”

I smiled and tugged at her arm, "It's okay Su Wen, I wish the heavens are not so bad, so they won't design me." Besides, I don't have anything for him to design. ”

"But......" Su Wen looked at me pitifully for a while, and suddenly pouted, "Okay, okay, then I'll go first." ”

After speaking, he pulled Hou Liang and left in a huff.

I know that this little princess with a good family background must be a little troublesome, but fortunately, we are together, although she is the one who has a little more small nature, but every time she figured it out by herself, and then came to me obediently to reconcile, so I didn't feel tired of being friends with her, but I thought it was very interesting.

After packing my schoolbag, I looked at Zhu Tian, "Let's go, what's the matter, talk as you go." ”

Zhu Tian walked side by side with me, slowly left the school, walked to a relatively quiet path outside, and stopped.

"That's right......," he plucked up the courage to say to me, "Before, I always saw you and your sister in conflict, although I think you are a little unreasonable as a sister, but in my heart, you are still a very kind girl, you study well, and you are smart, and you don't panic in doing things, I actually admire you...... It's pretty ...... Like yours. ”

"And then?" I patiently said, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"Actually, I've already finished everything I want to tell you. Moreover, I called you out, not because I wanted to say anything to you, but because your sister asked me to make peace with you and let me call you out. Zhu Tian lowered his head a little embarrassed and said in a low voice.

"My sister?" My face changed, and I suddenly remembered a forgotten person, "You mean, Zhang Qiongyu?" ”

"Well, it's Qiongyu, she told me that she was embarrassed to have so many disputes with you, so she wanted to reconcile with you, let me call you out." Zhu Tian smiled innocently, "Let me surprise you, don't tell you first, I'll tell you when you come." ”

"You stupid x ......" At this point, no matter how stupid I was, I noticed that something was wrong, scolded Zhu Tian angrily, turned around and wanted to run.

But by this time, the exit from the road had been blocked.

Zhao Lei, who I hadn't seen for a long time, walked over to me with two young men with messy hair.
