Chapter 176: Wen Xin is married
After a bumpy ride and a lot of rugged dirt roads, the car finally arrived at Wen Xin's hometown, a remote and poor mountain village.
Although it is not so far from the city, it is very poor.
I heard that the patriarchal thinking here is very serious, and they are particularly lazy to eat.
Families with children and daughters in the family are all waiting for their daughters to reach their teens, they will rush out to work, pay thousands of yuan every month as the family's expenses, and save the rest to repair the house, and when the daughter reaches about 20, they will quickly find a good family to marry, and ask for a bride price to marry their son.
And once a woman gets married, she is trapped in the circle of giving birth to children, taking care of children, and serving the family in this life.
It can be said that the women here have no status and have been squeezed all their lives.
Before, it was not that no one had come here to help the poor.
However, the people here are very xenophobic, and they are particularly feudal and conservative.
There is a large enterprise that wants to build a factory here, and once the project is implemented, it can drive the local economy and solve the employment problem of the villagers.
However, the villagers only fancy the immediate interests, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for a huge amount of compensation for the land occupation, and he also took a hoe and a flat shoulder to make trouble every day.
In the end, the big business was overwhelmed and left.
There are also some official personnel to give livestock cubs, fruit tree seedlings, want to help them set up breeding institutions and planting institutions, even breeding and planting experts have found them well, centralized training, future sales problems, also help them pave the way.
It can be said that these people have minimized all risks for them, and as long as they are diligent, they will definitely be able to slowly become rich.
However......
As soon as the experts and staff left, they killed all the young livestock for meat, and cut down all the fruit tree seedlings and planted them into crops.
Because of the feudal ignorance of the villagers and their lack of progress, in the end, the poverty alleviation project team also had no problem with them.
So this has led to the poverty that has not changed here for decades.
Even if Gu Quanshen had already driven his cheapest car, it still seemed a little abrupt in this small mountain village, and Tang Xiyu didn't want him to drive in so ostentatiously.
"Gu Quanshen, you stop at the entrance of the village, I'll go in and ask the villagers, which is Wen Xin's house."
Gu Quanshen did as she said and stopped the car.
She was just about to get out of the car, but Gu Quanshen pressed her hand: "I'll go with you." ”
Tang Xiyu hurriedly shook his head: "No need, don't worry, in broad daylight, I'll be fine." ”
Gu Quanshen's edge is too conspicuous, and it seems incompatible with this small mountain village.
He went with her to attract attention.
"Sister, I'll go with you!"
Tang Xining, who was sitting in the back seat, also offered to go with him because he was too worried about Wen Xin, but Tang Xiyu also refused.
"Xining, Wen Xin's family has seen you, in case they recognize you, they are afraid of a dispute."
Tang Xiyu said, already taking out a pair of glasses with rimmed glasses and putting them on his nose: "I'll go alone, if there's anything, I'll contact you at any time." ”
Tang Grapefruit just got out of the car.
Not to mention, she wears glasses and deliberately arranges her hair into a very old-fashioned ponytail, which really looks like a teacher.
Tang Xiyu walked into the village and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties holding a child basking in the sun on the side of the road, she held her glasses and walked over and asked, "Hello, eldest sister, do you know where Wen Xin's house is?" ”
The middle-aged woman looked at the unfamiliar Tang grapefruit: "Are you?" ”
"Oh, I'm Wen Xin's teacher. She left school suddenly a few days ago and I don't know where she went, and I was a little worried about her safety, so I came to her house to look around and ask if she had ever been back. ”
"Oh, teacher."
The middle-aged woman relaxed her vigilance: "She, she was called back by her mother to get married a few days ago. ”
"What? Tie the knot? ”
The middle-aged woman's tone was calm and breezy, but Tang Xiyu, who heard the news, couldn't help but be shocked.
"That's right. If you want me to say, that kid is also strong. What's the use of a girl, reading so many books, and not getting married in the end? It's better to find yourself a good family when you are young and beautiful, and ask for more bride money! ”
The middle-aged woman didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this, but was still criticizing Wen Xin.
But......
Wen Xin has just become an adult, and her life has just begun, how can she marry so hastily.
Besides, she is not yet of the legal age to get a marriage license.
"Eldest sister, then do you know, when will she get married? Where is the person she is going to marry, and what is the situation at home? ”
As soon as she talked about this topic, the middle-aged woman looked envious: "That girl has a good life, she is married well, she is the son of the head of the next village, the young man is also good-looking, and her family background is good. ”
"By the way, the wedding is today, and I just picked people up and passed in front of our house."
Tang Xiyu took a closer look, and sure enough, there were still crumbs of firecrackers on the ground, and a piece of red paper was pressed with a stone dozens of meters apart.
Tang Xiyu was a little anxious at the moment.
She didn't know why Wen Xin was willing to give up her studies and come back to marry a stranger she didn't know very well.
But she knew that Wen Xin must have her own troubles.
No, she must rush over and ask for clarification.
She couldn't let Wen Xin's life go to waste in this small mountain village like this.
Tang Xiyu hurriedly took out dozens of yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged woman: "Eldest sister, you can take this money to buy candy for the child." I am Wen Xin's teacher, she got married for such a big thing, I have to go and say hello to her, give her a gift money, it is inconvenient for you to marry her to that village, how to go and tell me, I will go and see her. ”
When the middle-aged woman saw that she had the money, she smiled, she did not doubt Tang Xiyu's identity at all, and showed her the way very happily and told her how to go.
"You just go in that direction, their wedding is very magnificent, you can see it as soon as you enter the village!"
"Thank you, big sister."
Tang Xiyu, who had important information, hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village and jumped into the car: "Gu Quanshen, hurry, let's go there!" ”
Seeing Tang Xiyu's panicked appearance, Gu Quanshen turned the head of the car and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Xining also hurriedly came over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with Wen Xin, is something wrong?" ”
"Wen Xin, she is married, and the wedding is today!"
"What!"
Hearing the news, Tang Xining was also extremely shocked.
"Wen Xin, Wen Xin told me before that she doesn't want to get married early, she wants to go to school hard and come out to find a good job, how can she ......"
Between the two villages, it is indeed very close.
It only took them a few minutes to reach the entrance of another village.
At the entrance of the village, a red, high arch was erected, on which was written the groom xxx, the bride xxx was newly married.
And the bride's name is Wen Xin.
Looks like that's it!
They got out of the car and walked along the archway, all the way down the red carpet, all the way to the door of the courtyard.
There are more than 20 large round tables in the open space outside the courtyard, and relatives and friends are sitting full, and not far away, there are also several large iron pots burning, and they are cooking.
On the other side, a simple stage was set up and decorated with flower balloons.
Wen Xin was wearing a white wedding dress, standing on the stage with an expressionless face, and there was a young man who was a little shorter than Wen Xin and looked skinny, I am afraid that this is the son of the village chief next door.
I really don't know what the middle-aged aunt's judging criteria for "the young man looks good", this young man with ribs is not worthy of Wen Xin at all.
A crappy Mandarin uncle with a red scarf around his neck presided over their wedding.
Everyone present, whether on or off the stage, all of them were very happy, only Wen Xin, who couldn't see any expression on his face, as if he was numb.
"Wen Xin ......"
Tang Xining opened his mouth and was about to shout, but Tang Xiyu hurriedly dragged him.
At this time, it is inappropriate for them to interrupt rashly.
After all, if these villagers unite against them, there is nothing they can do.
Don't startle the snake, think about how to solve it first.
The top priority now is also to meet Wen Xin as soon as possible to understand what is going on.
She is the party concerned, and only she knows why she is willing to compromise and marry here.
