Chapter 210: Inside Story
Zhou Yang probably never thought that his casual behavior would cause such an impact on the other party's heart. The fastest update underestimated Liu Liandi's external softness and internal stiffness.
After the two went back, Zhou Yang deliberately asked her about the situation at home again. Although the two have only been together for a few days, there is no estrangement between them, and the two are of the same age, like friends.
Liu Liandi did not hide it, and introduced it one by one.
Only then did Zhou Yang know that she was from a small village in Linprovince. Counting the distance, the distance from Chujiang City to Zhou Yang's house is still far.
Although the small village is not a place completely isolated from the outside world as portrayed in some movies, it is also really poor, so poor that it retains a lot of bad habits, the most typical of which is patriarchy.
Liu Liandi is the eldest daughter in the family, she has not been treated by her family since she was a child, and she was forced to drop out of school after barely finishing junior high school to concentrate on taking care of her younger brother at home.
Because the adult males in the village are popular to go to the big cities to work, they do not pay much attention to the importance of studying, and every family wants a son, which is nothing more than passing on the family lineage.
Seeing that Liu Liandi's younger brother was close to seventeen years old and his academic performance was not very good, he pondered dropping out of school and getting married early, and then went out to work with his fellow villagers.
Zhou Yang has heard of this. Not to mention backward mountain villages, even in towns and villages in some economically developed areas, there is still a common phenomenon of early marriage. Often, many children who do not go to school hold banquets at seventeen or eighteen, and wait until they reach the legal age of marriage to obtain a license. It has always been a very helpless phenomenon.
Liu Liandi's family wants to organize her younger brother's wedding, but the biggest problem is money. Over the years, the family's economic conditions have been average, and they can't save any money. couldn't even get the bride price, so the family hit the idea on their daughter.
This is also the norm in those areas. They generally think that their daughters are of little value, they are all raised by others, and the only thing they can use is to get more bride price when they get married. To say that it is ugly, it is actually selling a daughter.
There is no so-called freedom of love over there, it's just just finding a random home and making do with it for a lifetime.
didn't even inform Liu Liandi, her parents took it upon themselves to give their daughter a husband. And he is willing to pay the most, a bride price of 200,000 yuan. It is equivalent to the savings of most of the life of a local family. It's enough to deal with her brother's marriage.
Thinking about it with your knees, you can guess that Liu Liandi will definitely be able to "sell" for a good price. Even from Zhou Yang's point of view, she looks very good, and she is young, the best age for a girl. The disadvantage is that the dress is too rustic, and it is not like the little princesses in the city who have used skin care products and cosmetics, and the perennial labor makes her skin show a healthy wheat color.
If you are willing to spend money a little, not to mention a big beauty, at least the return rate is quite high. This level is in the backward countryside, and it must stand out from the crowd.
Things were originally planned, but Liu Liandi was a girl with her own independent thoughts, and she didn't want to marry that man, who was nearly ten years older than herself, and she was even more unwilling to sell her life like this. So I sneaked out while my family was not paying attention, and I wanted to work to make money and see the outside world at the same time. This is the scene when Zhou Yang saw her.
The Chutian region is one of the most economically developed regions in the country, and there is a great demand for various labor positions. Zhou Yang also asked her why she didn't come to Chujiang City instead of Super Xiajiang City, which had more opportunities. Liu Liandi explained wryly that it was because there were too many fellow villagers working in Xiajiang City, and the risk of being found was high. Who knows if you're still bumped into here.
It's just that to Zhou Yang's surprise, Liu Liandi was calm and eloquent after telling these things, without the slightest sympathy for the ordinary poor or the cynicism of their unfortunate life. On the contrary, she did not resent her family at all, but wanted to earn money as soon as possible and send it back to her family to help her brother marry a daughter-in-law.
Compared with Liu Liandi's family environment, I think of my open-minded and simple parents. Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh at his happiness, his parents were kind-hearted people, and even often said that he must be good to Zhou Yang's future daughter-in-law in the future, without any discrimination and injustice against women.
Zhou Yang is not a nosy character, but this time he also silently made up his mind in his heart and did his best to help Liu Liandi. There are many unfair things in the world, and I can't manage them by myself, but at least the situation in front of me is impossible to turn a blind eye.
deliberately told Liu Liandi to stay in the community during this time and try not to go out. Buy everything you want to eat and use all at once. As long as she takes it in the community, her fellow villagers are helpless.
Liu Liandi obeyed Zhou Yang's instructions and nodded obediently. Then he hurriedly wiped his tears and began to babble around. Clean the house a few more times.
What's even more amazing is that Zhou Yang also inadvertently found that Liu Liandi was working while specially preparing a small book, looking at it from time to time, and babbling in his mouth. After listening carefully for a long time, I realized that she was practicing English.
There is a strong chinglish tendency in the accent, but some pronunciations already have the taste of standard English pronunciation, and it should improve a lot over time.
Zhou Yang secretly paid attention to her diligence, and did not bother, turned around and went upstairs.
In this villa, there are a total of three rooms that were locked in the last period.
One was a small enclosed bedroom at the end of the corridor, which Zhou Yang used to refine the puppet last time. One was a large storage room on the second floor, which was now full of offerings and various immortal cultivation materials sent by Long Qiu. As for the last one, it was Zhou Yang's own bedroom.
The reason why I locked my bedroom is not because there are some secret secrets in it. It's that Liu Liandi is too diligent and capable. As soon as Zhou Yang thought that the clean clothes in her bedroom, even the underwear, were washed by her, she had a fever on her face and simply locked the room.
When he came to the door of the room, there was no change, knowing that Liu Liandi had not moved here. Nodding in satisfaction, he opened the door and went in.
Last time, Zhou Yang had already classified the materials simply. In particular, the raw materials that can be used to refine puppets have been singled out. The remaining strange things were singled out, and they were going to be sent to Yun Ruohan specifically.
Specially told Liu Liandi not to disturb herself in advance, and then specially turned on the stereo in the room to cover up the noise. Zhou Yang beckoned, and the puppet man who had not been useful for a long time turned into a streamer and landed steadily in place.
After a few days of not seeing each other, the puppeteer's appearance seems to have risen a lot. Most of the traces left by some previous fighting methods have disappeared, and the surface of the body is smooth and flowing, full of spirituality.
Zhou Yang and the puppet had a heart-to-heart relationship, and with a slight sense, he was surprised to find that his damage had been repaired a lot.
