Chapter 13 Comrade Gu, You Must Be Strong
The waiter came to the next table.
Gu Yuelin pushed the menu in front of Feng Mian, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'll treat you, you order whatever you want."
"I'm fine with anything, just order."
Feng Mian thought he didn't want to order and took the menu.
It's all handwritten, there's no picture for reference, and I don't know what it will look like.
She ordered a few dishes at random.
Braised beef with soy sauce, stir-fried pork with green peppers, egg soup, and a braised eggplant, plus two bowls of rice, a total of three dollars and fifty cents.
Gu Yuelin took it and looked at it, then looked up at Feng Mian.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything and directly handed the menu to the waiter.
While waiting for the food, Feng Mian talked about business with Gu Yuelin.
"Actually, for you, it doesn't matter whose family you marry into. The key is to leave that family, right?"
Gu Yuelin did not answer, but looked thoughtfully at Feng Mian who was sitting opposite him.
"I can help you, in the form of a favor."
"Help?" Gu Yuelin was stunned, thought for a while and asked her, "Are you saying you want to help me leave the Gu family by pretending to get married?"
Feng Mian nodded, thinking that it was just like talking to a smart person, he would understand as soon as he mentioned it.
"Let me think about it." Gu Yuelin said.
Feng Mian smiled and said, "Hey, you can think about it carefully. Our cooperative marriage can be regarded as mutual redemption, which is beneficial to both you and me."
Gu Yuelin looked at her in surprise again, "Redeeming each other?"
"Yes, I am an orphan. If a girl like me doesn't get married, I will have a hard time and will be easily bullied. So I also need this marriage. So, we can save each other."
Feng Mian thought that since everyone was so frank, she should be frank too.
Make things clear, it will benefit everyone.
Gu Yuelin felt that this word was quite novel and had a very precise positioning.
"So how do you want this marriage to work?"
He was quite interested in what she said about mutual redemption and cooperative marriage.
Feng Mian said: "I can see that you are not willing to stay in the village for the rest of your life, especially being controlled by your stepmother. She is morally kidnapping you under the banner of filial piety and sucking your blood for the rest of your life."
Perhaps her words were too plain and hurt him so much that his face turned pale.
The hands on the table clenched silently.
"You come here to use the banner of filial piety to blackmail me... Feng Mian, what you say does make sense."
Feng Mian was startled and began to feel sympathy for him again.
She boldly grasped Gu Yuelin's clenched fist on the table, took a deep breath, and looked at him sincerely, "Comrade Gu, you must be strong."
Gu Yuelin raised his head and met her encouraging eyes.
"We are the successors of socialism. What do evil spirits matter to us? Don't worry, this will change soon. One day you will be able to leave here honorably. Through your own efforts, you can live the life you want. No one can blackmail you morally."
Gu Yuelin looked at her with some doubt.
This bowl of chicken soup is dry.
Now that the first dish had arrived, the two stopped talking.
As the host, Feng Mian took the chopsticks and handed them to Gu Yuelin, asking him to eat the braised beef quickly.
The young man had a big appetite and he usually couldn’t afford to eat these, so he ate three pieces in one go out of his greed.
When I was about to pick up the fourth piece, I suddenly realized something.
Her face flushed with shame, she put down her chopsticks reluctantly, and pushed the plate of braised beef towards Feng Mian, almost to where she put her rice bowl, "You eat."
