Chapter 267: A Girl's Choice (2)
"Please, don't marry me to that grandpa!" Gao Xiaohong's face was full of tears, she wiped the tears on her face with her rough little hands, she pleaded sadly and helplessly with the mother in front of her who had raised her for fifteen years.
"Honghong, Mom knows that you are wronged, but haven't we all said it before!" Speaking of this, Gao Xiaohong's mother didn't forget to look back at the two culprits standing opposite who made her daughter's mind waver, Li Yifan and Zhao Xin'er.
"The bride price has been collected, and most of the money has been spent, you will say that if you don't get married, you will force us to die! How can you be so ruthless! Gao Xiaohong's father looked at his daughter and said with a little sadness and anger.
Gao Xiaohong's mother also hid her face and cried at this time, and many elders around her were kind but criticized Gao Xiaohong.
"I, I'm going to work in the city, I can make money to pay back, my brother and sister said, they can help us discuss with the family in the next village...... Yes, you can pay back the money slowly......" Facing the blame of the people around her, Gao Xiaohong cried aggrievedly, and the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for so many years and the unwillingness to be so arranged by her parents broke out at this moment.
"It's all you, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my daughter!" Gao Xiaohong's mother and father glared at Li Yifan and the others in unison. Gao Xiaohong's mother even cried and blamed the two young people in front of her, her face full of anger.
"This is what this little girl thinks in her heart, don't you, as parents, feel guilty of conscience! She's not an adult, and you're going to sell her to someone else as a wife! Sisi pointed to the group of people opposite and said loudly.
Sisi and Wu Shuai already knew from their conversation that it was the parents who insisted on marrying their daughter to a rich old man in another village for the sake of money, and both of them blamed the parents with resentment at this moment.
"What do you know, our girls here seem to be able to marry at the age of sixteen, and how many people envy our family Honghong can find a rich family to marry." Gao Xiaohong's father looked at the person opposite inexplicably and said.
He turned his head to look at Gao Xiaohong, who lowered his head and looked aggrieved at this moment, he really didn't understand what happened to his daughter and suddenly said that he would not marry, in the eyes of them and other people in the village, Gao Xiaohong was blessed to marry a big family in the next village, not only for her own family, but also for her own future life.
"Is it just for those tens of thousands of yuan that you want your daughter to marry an old man you don't like and live an unhappy life for the rest of your life?" Zhao Xin'er looked at the person standing opposite and said.
Even if she could see through these people's thoughts, Zhao Xin'er couldn't find a reasonable way to convince these people, and the thoughts of these people in front of her really made her staggered.
"Happy? How to be happy, how to be unhappy, when one day you don't have clothes, you can't eat enough, you get up early every day and work hard for the elderly and children at home, regardless of the wind and sun in the fields all year round, how can you have time to think about what to be happy and unhappy!
Those are luxuries for those of us who live in poverty! Now that our family has found a good family, she doesn't have to work, she just serves an old man, why did she wrong, why can't she be happy!
Why don't you like this kind of life, is it a good thing to work like this day and night for us every day? Gao Xiaohong's mother spread out her hands full of deep cracks and dark hands, and looked at Li Yifan and the four people opposite, how could these young people who had no worries about food and clothing on the other side understand their lives.
Although the four seasons are like spring, and the fields can be cultivated in all seasons, there are very few places to farm, and the villagers rely on the tea fields and fruit trees far away from the village to sell the fruits of the city for some vegetables and meat to make a living.
It stands to reason that it can maintain a good livelihood, but the most important thing in this Changshui town is fruits, and the first two years were just in time for the pest infestation, Gaona Village is the most severely affected village, and the fruit trees have not borne fruit well for two consecutive years, so they can only be digested by the people in their own village.
Even though the road was just built last year, it was easier to walk out of the village, but the villagers were also accustomed to this kind of life, the lazier they were, the poorer they were, the lazier they were, and the lazier they were, and they all had the idea of going off the beaten path.
Even the whole Changshui Town has attracted photography and painting enthusiasts because of the charming scenery, and they do have people here, but more people are regretted by the local villagers when they come, which eventually causes them to have a worse and worse reputation, and there are fewer outsiders to take pictures and consume.
From a very early age, people in other villages will be because the girls in Gaona Village are beautiful, and they are all well-behaved and sensible, and the surrounding villages and towns are willing to come here to find a daughter-in-law, and the people of Gaona Village are doubling the bride price every year to marry their daughters, and then use the money to marry their daughters to support a family and raise a son.
"Mom, I'll go to the city to work to earn money to pay it back." Gao Xiaohong held her head high, as if she had made a terrible decision, and said firmly.
"Like the daughter of the old Gao family, go to sleep with others to make money? Or is it like the girl of your third aunt's family, going to be a second wife? That's a lot of money, but you think for yourself how good things can fall on you, it's better to get married. Gao Xiaohong's parents are not taboo at all when it comes to these things, and they think that it is normal for girls to go out and do such a profession, as if only that kind of profession can be done.
Their children here go to school, that is, they come back to junior high school, most of the girls are not deep, the first one went out and met a liar, engaged in the work of selling her body, the family looked at the money she sent back every time, not only did not say anything, but also praised their daughter for her ability. In this way, the people in the village became more and more laughing at the poor and not at the prostitutes.
"......" Gao Xiaohong stopped talking, she was sixteen years old in a few months, and she should know what she shouldn't understand, as early as three years ago, she understood it after that time.
"Xiaohong, if we can meet the boss like before again, we will also think that it will be good for you to follow, but who knows if you will be deceived if you go out, girls go out to make money, but it is also more dangerous." Gao Xiaohong's aunt comforted her and said.
But I don't want to, what happened three years ago was a lifelong nightmare for Gao Xiaohong.
