"this……"
Guo Linxian sighed and said with some difficulty, "She...she got married."
"What? Married? Mengmeng is only...only eighteen years old this year! When did she get married? Why so early? Who did she marry?"
When he heard that his daughter was getting married, Liu Guopeng, as an old father, found it a little unbelievable and hard to accept.
After all, when he left home, his daughter Liu Rumeng was only ten years old and still a cute and innocent little girl.
How come you're married in the blink of an eye?
The key point is that as a father, he didn't even know who his daughter was marrying, and he didn't even have time to attend the wedding.
The words "my daughter is getting married" immediately filled Liu Guopeng's heart with guilt and regret.
"In the past few months, Mengmeng married... married a farmer in the northeastern countryside, and he's a cripple. They're very poor. I received a letter from her not long ago, asking me... asking me to send her more money and food if I can, because she has a whole family to support and can't even afford to eat."
Speaking of this matter, Guo Linxian couldn't help but start to nag and worry.
Because what she received at this time was the first letter sent by Liu Rumeng.
At that time, Liu Rumeng had just married Lin Huowang and had not even consummated her marriage with Lin Huowang.
Knowing that the Lin family is in such a difficult situation, even though they believe that Lin Huowang has the ability to give them a good life, they still have to find a way to overcome the current difficulties.
But Liu Rumeng herself had no ability to make money, so she could only write letters to her mother in Shanghai to express her sympathy, hoping that her mother would send some money and food.
However, in the letter, Liu Rumeng actually basically wrote about the current situation truthfully.
Liu Rumeng even concealed many bad things, such as being forced and harassed by the team leader Lin Jianguo, and only told her mother about her current predicament.
Liu Rumeng told them all about Lin Huowang's lameness, Lin's mother's serious illness, and the two adopted orphans, hoping that her mother would see how difficult their lives were and provide more support.
But in Liu's mother's opinion, what a miserable life her daughter was leading!
She married a crippled man from the countryside and had to help him support his mother, sister, and two adopted orphans.
How can such a family and such a life be easy?
Being able to avoid starvation is already a blessing.
Guo Linxian didn't dare face her husband because she felt that she was irresponsible and had not taken good care of her daughter during the years when her husband was away.
The daughter of a founding general ended up marrying into a rural area in Northeast China, and her husband was an uneducated peasant with a lame back.
It is no wonder that when Liu Guopeng asked about his daughter Mengmeng's condition when they first met, Guo Linxian found it so difficult to speak.
"Mengmeng married a crippled man from the countryside? Did she do it willingly? Or was she forced?"
After Liu Guopeng had a brief understanding of the situation, the issue he was most concerned about was whether his daughter's marriage was voluntary.
"Well... Mengmeng didn't say that in the letter, so it must be voluntary! I don't know if Mengmeng's brain got damaged after she went to the countryside. How could she voluntarily marry a farmer?"
Guo Linxian still said worriedly, "In the letter I wrote to her, in addition to giving her some money and food, I also told her that she must divorce that cripple.
Then, once you are rehabilitated, I will immediately transfer her back to the city."
"Divorce? What's wrong with farmers? Ah Xian, you can't speculate like that. As long as Meng Meng is willing, I don't think it's a big problem to marry a farmer.
I believe in my daughter's vision. Even if she is an uneducated peasant, so what? As long as she is kind-hearted, down-to-earth and honest, and loves her, she is a hundred times better than any prince or nobleman."
What Guo Linxian didn't expect was that her husband Liu Guopeng would actually say such a thing.
He actually agreed to let his daughter marry a farmer. Is he still her father?
"Lao Liu, you... have you also become stupid after being reformed through labor?
Didn't you love Mengmeng so much in the past? How come now you don't care about her marrying a farmer? "
Guo Linxian's face suddenly changed and she asked seriously.
“It’s not that I don’t care, but I’ve let this issue go long ago during the eight years I was in labor reform.
I think you should also put aside your prejudices, thoughts, classes, and identities!
If we count several generations back, who among them is not a farmer who grows crops for a living?
If we count dozens of generations back, which family hasn’t produced princes or nobles?
Look at how many so-called thoughtful and cultured people have become reactionary and brutal during these turbulent decades.
A great man once said that if the line is wrong, the more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one becomes.
As long as it is Mengmeng's own choice and the person is the one she likes, farmers are farmers, farming and living honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with that."
At this point, Liu Guopeng paused, and seeing his wife's face becoming even uglier, he added, "This is not a sign that I don't love my daughter, but that I fully respect her own choice.
Is what you just said the right thing to do? Forcing your daughter to divorce, you are being poisoned by feudal ideas and interfering with your daughter's freedom of marriage and love.
How about this! I will have someone send my daughter's return order and money and food over later.
You can write a letter and add it in there, saying that Dad misses her and asks her to come back to Shanghai first so that Dad can take a good look at her.
If possible, bring her husband along so I can help her check it out.
