Chapter 121 You Don’t Understand the Value of True Love
After hearing what Lin Anan said, Shi Laidie's face turned red and white, her head drooped even more, and her heart was filled with shame.
She stammered, and after a long while she managed to speak, "Comrade Lin, I... I know I was wrong. I was confused and blinded by greed before, and I followed Tang Jingqiao and the others in making trouble."
Dai Lihua patted Shi Lai Di's shoulder gently and said, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't make the same mistake again. We are all from the military compound. We will see each other every day. It's so nice to live in harmony."
Shi Lai Di nodded hurriedly: "I understand, Doctor Dai, I will never do that again."
"Luckily I have to go home to get something, and thanks to An An's cleverness, otherwise what would you have done..."
Shi Lai Di pursed her lips and looked up at Lin An An, her eyes full of sincerity, "Comrade Lin, if you need my help in the future, just ask, I will never be vague."
Lin Anan just hummed casually, "Okay."
On the way back, Lin Anan also learned about their old friendship from Dai Lihua's words.
Dai Lihua and Shi Laidie's elder sister Shi Zhaodi were very good friends. Since she married and moved far away, she often sent letters back, asking her to take care of her younger sister at home.
Dai Lihua is kind-hearted, but she cannot resist the stupidity of Shi's mother. For the sake of her son, she does not even treat her daughter as a human being.
In such a family, the daughters born are all very beautiful.
Look... the five daughters of the Shi family have all become tools to be sold at a high price, and have been "sold" one after another. No one can stop them. Even the leaders of the Women's Federation have visited them many times to communicate, but all have returned empty-handed.
Direct punishment is not an option either. After all, Shi's mother is the widow of a martyr, and her family is full of the elderly, the weak, women and children. Who can punish her by force?
As a result, later on, as long as the family found for the girl from the Shi family was decent and could provide her with food to eat, the neighbors would not dare to say anything, and even the organization could do nothing about it.
After listening to Dai Lihua's story, Lin Anan felt very sympathetic towards the plight of Shi Laidie and others.
"Is there no other way?"
Dai Lihua sighed, "What good solution is there? Mother Shi is adamant and even the Women's Federation and the organization can't do anything to her. If we really force her, she will throw her son into the river.
Now, the older sisters of the Shi family have all married, leaving only Lai Di! But she is stronger than her sisters, and being able to resist her aunt today is a good start. "
Lin Anan frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable the more she listened.
"Okay, forget it. The Shi family's situation is special. Just listen to it."
Shi Lai Di sniffed, "In everyone's eyes, this is the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, it's not my turn to refuse..."
"Yes, this is a new China. People say we need to look forward, but most people still cling to old ideas. There's nothing we can do about it."
The three of them talked as they walked, and soon they reached a fork in the road.
Lin Anan said goodbye to the two of them and said, "I'll go back first."
"Okay, then An An, be careful when you go back."
"Um."
Seeing Lin Anan walking away, Shi Lai Di also found an excuse to leave.
Dai Lihua didn't think much about it, just gave a few more instructions and then walked towards home.
Shi Laidie naturally would not go home, she wanted to find Tang Jingqiao.
I came to see Tang Jingqiao for two things.
One is to ask her to help him out of trouble. If Brigade Commander Tang or Tang's mother came forward to plead for him, the marriage could be easily postponed. After all, his mother thought highly of the Tang family and would not dare to offend them easily.
The second is to resolve the conflict between Tang Jingqiao and Lin Anan. He has already come into contact with Lin Anan, and she is indeed a smart and kind girl. There must be a misunderstanding between the two of them.
If you build a bridge yourself to resolve the problem, wouldn't everyone be happy?
We are from the same compound, so we will inevitably become friends in the future!
Shi Lai Di walked quickly and arrived at the Tang family in a short while.
"Jingqiao, are you there?"
Seeing that no one responded when she called out and the Tang family’s door was not closed, Shi Lai Di walked in.
Just as she stepped into the door, an enamel cup flew down from the second-floor window and almost hit her on the head...
"Ah~" Shi Lai Di screamed in fright.
Tang Jingqiao's crying voice came from the second floor: "Mom, I won't. We have already agreed on this. Why do you want to regret it halfway? You must not let him withdraw this divorce application. Tell my dad to sign it quickly and send it for stamping!"
"You fool, you are trying to kill yourself for a man... You are really trying to kill me!"
Shi Laidie had not yet recovered from her shock, and when she looked up she saw Tang Jingqiao sitting on the windowsill on the second floor.
Their eyes met and they were both stunned!
"Jingqiao, what are you doing? Come down quickly, it's dangerous..."
After Shi Lai Di finished speaking, she looked around and rushed into the house, wanting to go upstairs to pull someone out.
Tang Jingqiao is about to jump off the building!
The Tang family’s house is a small two-story building. It’s not very high, so you won’t die if you jump down. You will just get injured at most.
At this moment, what Tang Jingqiao said frightened Shi Lai Di more than her actions.
Did Jingqiao and Captain Chu have this discussed in advance?
So... they are... having an improper relationship?
Does Lin Anan know?
Shi Laidi only felt her head buzzing and was extremely panicked.
Tang Jingqiao had no idea what Shi Laidie was thinking. When she saw her little sister coming, she became even more excited and half of her body was leaning out of the window.
Shi Laidie took two steps at a time and ran upstairs anxiously.
Tang's mother was pulling Tang Jingqiao, and when she saw Shi Laidie coming up, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her stern look.
"Laidi, you come at a bad time. Jingqiao is in a bad mood. You should go back first and come back another day." Tang's mother tried to send Shi Laidi away.
Shi Lai Di was unwilling to leave. She said anxiously, "Aunt, what happened to Jing Qiao? Please be careful and don't hurt her."
As he said that, he stepped forward to help, and together with Tang's mother, pulled Tang Jingqiao back from the window.
Tang Jingqiao was pulled back, still sobbing, "Mom, please leave me alone, I don't want to live anymore! How could Chu Mingzhou do this to me? He has already submitted a divorce application, why is he withdrawing it now?"
Shi Laidie's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the two of them were really not innocent!
She looked at Mother Tang and asked tentatively, "Aunt, this... Captain Chu still has an agreement with Jingqiao?"
Mother Tang glared at Tang Jingqiao in anger: "This damn girl, she's always daydreaming. There's no such thing as an agreement. It's just her wishful thinking."
"mom!"
When Tang Jingqiao heard this, she felt ashamed and cried even harder: "Mom, how can you say that? You know I've been waiting for him for three years. If Lin Anan hadn't interfered, we would have gotten married according to the plan."
Shi Lai Di believed what Tang's mother said. It must be that Tang Jingqiao was overthinking it. Otherwise, how come they were together every day, but why was there never any private contact between Captain Chu and her?
Shi Lai Di thought about it and decided to persuade her, "Jing Qiao, don't get excited yet. Captain Chu is already married to Lin An An. Love can't be forced. It's not worth it for you to hurt yourself like this!"
Tang Jingqiao glared at Shi Lai Di and said, "What do you know? You are not me. You don't understand the value of true love. I just follow my heart and pursue my own happiness."
"this……"
Seeing her useless appearance, Tang Jingqiao's tone became even worse, "What am I talking about true love with you? You know shit! And you don't have to understand. With someone like your mother, she might just marry you to a fool."
Tang Jingqiao's unintentional verbal attack happened to hit Shi Laidie's sore spot.
