Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.
A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...
If the result was what she imagined, she would definitely not stand by and watch. It would be fine if she didn't see it, but if she did, she would definitely lend a hand and pull the person out.
Perhaps, when the girl was in despair, she was always looking forward to such a hand appearing in front of her.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
If she has the ability to help but chooses to turn a blind eye, she will only feel uneasy for the rest of her life.
She was afraid of ghosts, so she just wanted to have a clear conscience.
Jian Shu's words drew everyone's attention back.
"Oh, yeah. How's that girl? Did her parents take her back?"
"It feels impossible. Even if her parents are willing, there are still her brother and sister-in-law at home. The sister-in-law who is married off will definitely not agree."
"Yes, something like this happened. Although the girl was a victim, it is not easy for her to get married again."
"What a sin! The man is a fool, and he gave birth to a little fool. Life will be difficult in the future."
Everyone expressed concern.
However, from their words, it can be seen that they are all pessimistic about the outcome of the girl, which also reflects the mainstream thinking of this era.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this topic, she couldn't help but smile for the first time since she started telling the story.
Seeing this, Jianshu felt relieved and thought that she had no place to use her skills.
Knowing what everyone was concerned about, Mrs. Zhou didn't keep everyone in suspense this time. She started with the good news, "Don't worry, the girl is doing fine now. After the incident was discovered, the girl returned to her parents' home. The next day, her relatives and friends brought their weapons and beat up the man's family. No one was left out."
"Good, good beating, people like this should be beaten severely!" Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but voice their support.
The whole thing was really infuriating to hear, but now there is finally something that makes people happy to hear.
"Don't interrupt, let Mrs. Zhou continue. What happened next? How did it happen? Was it just a beating?" Someone spoke up to stop everyone's excitement and continued to ask.
Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows. "How is that possible! If a beating is all it takes, wouldn't that be all talk and no action? Why make such a fuss? Didn't I say that girl brought a lot of people to our house? What do you think they came for? Just to fight? Of course not! They came to move things."
"As I said before, that girl was very popular at home, and when she got married she brought a lot of things with her. Not to mention the small things, the big things alone included thirty-six legs and a sewing machine!"
"Wow! That's so much! For us, it's a decent dowry."
"A sewing machine isn't hard to get, but getting thirty-six legs together is not easy!"
"It's different in the village. They can get the wood themselves and just ask a carpenter to make it."
"That's not that simple, let alone giving it as a dowry to my daughter."
As soon as the dowry was announced, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people. There was no way around it, it was really generous, and many girls in the city could not compare to it.
This also made the two Jianshu more intuitively experience the favor that Zhou Saozi said. Although talking about money is a bit snobbish, it must be said that this is also a good criterion.
"So, the girl's family has moved all the dowry back? Does that mean they don't plan to get married anymore?"
Mrs. Zhou affirmed, "Of course. The girl's father said at the time that even if he had to raise her for her whole life, he would never marry her to a fool. Then he had everyone pack up and take away all the dowry, not even a needle. Even the clothes made for the groom before the wedding were packed up separately and taken away. He said no one could get a free ride on this family."
"It just so happens that in the countryside, unlike here, getting a marriage certificate isn't popular. Most people just hold a wedding banquet in the village and that's considered a marriage. So it's easy to break up. You just take your things and leave, and you don't have to ask for anyone's consent. It was very straightforward. It wasn't even two days after the incident, and it was almost resolved."
After she finished speaking, she felt very thirsty and quickly picked up the cup beside her to drink water.
"Great! This is a good result! This is a refreshing result!"
"Just take the daughter home. These parents really love their daughter. You can see that the whole family is kind."
"Hey? The girl has been taken home, but where is the grandson? I remember that the girl gave birth to a child, and he was also a fool, right? Where did the child go? Did he leave with his mother, or did he stay?" Someone suddenly remembered the fuse that leaked the news.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course she'll stay. It's already hard to find a partner after being married, and if she brings a little fool with her, who would be willing to accept her? Is that girl going to stay with a little fool all her life without anyone else?" The person next to her rolled his eyes at her and said rudely.
"That's right! Besides, the child doesn't have a father, so why should we ask our in-laws to help raise the child?" another person nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's true, but the child is also pitiful. With such a father and no mother, his future life will not be easy." A female comrade who had just become a mother said with some sympathy in the crowd.
Having a little one at home makes me feel even softer towards other children. When I think of that child whose future is uncertain, a wave of pity wells up in my heart.
Alas, after something like this happened, I don’t know how other people will treat him.
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment. Everyone knew in their hearts that with such a family, life would not be very good.
"That's his fate. If you want to blame someone, just blame his bad luck for having such a father and meeting such a family." Finally, Pan's mother spoke.
Sympathy is sympathy, but it is just sympathy.
