Jiang Hongmei certainly knew that marriage was a matter that needed careful consideration, but Jiang Xiufen didn't have the conditions now. She was afraid that her disobedient sister would really do something extraordinary for Captain Xie, but it was too late to make amends!

You know, if she hadn't been decisive at the beginning, she would have been sold by her parents in her hometown like her elder and second sisters, and she wouldn't be living such a good life now.

That year she had just come of age. Her parents had chosen a man for her before she came of age. He was a widower from the same village. His first wife was beaten to death by him. Since he had no son, he didn't want to marry another one to give him a son.

The widower was a butcher, his family had some money, and they lived much better than the other families in the brigade. Plus, everyone in the brigade knew how his first wife had died, so no good girl dared to marry him.

So, the widower's family increased the betrothal gift, but still no girl was willing to marry in. Jiang Hongmei's parents knew about this, but at that time, the eldest and second sisters of the Jiang family were married, leaving only Jiang Hongmei, who was about to reach adulthood but not yet an adult, and eleven-year-old Jiang Xiufen.

Jiang Hongmei's parents took the initiative to visit the widower's home and told him that they were willing to marry Jiang Hongmei to him, but because their daughter was not yet an adult, it would take a few more years. However, both families agreed that the wedding would take place as soon as Jiang Hongmei came of age.

Jiang Hongmei is not ugly and is considered good-looking in the countryside. She is also very capable. The widower's family thought about it for a day or two and finally agreed.

Jiang Hongmei didn't know about this at first. Jiang Xiufen heard it when she passed by Jiang Laodi's room at night. Jiang Xiufen immediately told Jiang Hongmei and asked her to run away quickly. She also told her what kind of people the family that Jiang Laodi had chosen for her were.

Jiang Hongmei originally thought that as long as she worked hard at home, her parents would not treat her the same way as she did with her two older sisters. She had underestimated her parents' true nature.

That night, it was Jiang Xiufen who stopped Jiang Hongmei when she wanted to argue with Jiang Old Man. It was Jiang Xiufen who gave Jiang Hongmei advice and told her to run away quickly. It was Jiang Hongmei who stayed with Jiang Xiufen all night.

This is also why Jiang Hongmei is still so kind to Jiang Xiufen even though she is married. Because in Jiang Hongmei's heart, it was Jiang Xiufen who saved her and gave her such a stable life.

Since that night, Jiang Hongmei no longer worked as hard as she should, her mind full of thoughts about what to do and how to avoid getting married. Just when Jiang Hongmei was still trying to come up with a solution, Jiang Xiufen told her something that made her all relieved of all her worries.

Jiang Xiufen told Jiang Hongmei that she had heard from fellow workers in the village that a girl from a neighboring village fell into the water and was rescued by a soldier. Instead of thanking the soldier, the family began to blame him. The soldier, concerned about his reputation and future, had no choice but to marry the girl.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

That night, Jiang Hongmei couldn't sleep after hearing what Jiang Xiufen said. All she could think about was this: it was a good idea, but how could she do it without arousing suspicion? Who should she ask to save her?

Just when Jiang Hongmei was thinking about the candidate, Wang Jianhua from the same village suddenly returned from the army. This made Jiang Hongmei feel that God was helping him.

In this way, with the help of Jiang Xiufen, Jiang Hongmei's own efforts, and Wang Jianhua's sympathy, she finally got rid of the Jiang family as she wished, and got rid of the rest of her life that was originally written by the Jiang family.

Jiang Hongmei in the living room thought for a long time. It was not until Jiang Xiufen prepared the meal and brought it out that she slowly came to her senses.

Jiang Xiufen looked at Jiang Hongmei and her eyes became red again, "Sister, don't worry, even if I like Brother Xie again, I will not seduce him while he is still married.

Sister, I understand the law, and I know what will happen if I interfere with a military marriage. And sister, now that my brother-in-law is no longer chasing me away, I won't act like I did before. I will stay in the family compound and find a partner here."

When Jiang Hongmei heard the word "date", she immediately became excited, "Xiu Fen, have you found someone?"

Jiang Xiufen shook her head. "Sister, don't worry. Even if there's no one in the army that I like, I won't continue to remain single like before. I'll go back and look for someone outside. Don't worry, I'll make sure to marry myself off as soon as possible and won't embarrass you in front of my brother-in-law."

Jiang Hongmei asked doubtfully, "Looking for someone outside? Do you know anyone outside? Is that person reliable? Are you comfortable looking for someone outside?"

Jiang Xiufen pulled Jiang Hongmei to the stool and comforted her: “Sister, analyze it with you slowly.

Sister, this "outside" isn't that "outside." I'm talking about the "outside" of the Military Hospital. Think about it, there are a lot of unmarried people working in our Military Hospital. They've all gone to college and received a good education, and were later assigned to work in our Military Hospital. Sister, I believe they won't be that bad.

Sister, if I really get my eye done in the military hospital, then I won’t have to go back home. I’ll be very close to you now, and we won’t have to go to the hospital if anyone in our family gets sick.”

Jiang Hongmei was still a little worried. "Even if you're interested in the doctors at the military hospital, they're all college graduates. How could they possibly be interested in you? Xiufen, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you only graduated from elementary school. You don't have that much ability."

Jiang Xiufen was a little angry after hearing what Jiang Hongmei said, but what Jiang Hongmei said was true. Even if she liked those college students, they would not like her!

Although Jiang Hongmei was a little worried, the moment she saw Jiang Xiufen's ugly face, she shut her mouth and didn't continue talking about that topic.

Jiang Hongmei patted Jiang Xiufen's hand and said, "Xiufen, I said the wrong thing. I shouldn't have discouraged you. Don't worry, as long as there's someone you like, I'll let him marry you no matter what.

But there is one thing you must not let your brother-in-law know about this, nor can you let those gossipers outside know about it. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined and you will have no choice but to return home."

Jiang Xiufen quickly replied, "Sister, I understand. Sister, if I really find someone I like, I will tell you right away and let you make the decision for me."

"Okay, as long as you live well, I will repay you." As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Jiang Hongmei's eyes.
