Wang Chunhua threw the kitchen knife aside, put her hands on her waist, and began to criticize Xiang Baiwei: "The former Xiao Zhang, a formal worker in the rubber factory, had a good family background. Although he was not good-looking, he was well-behaved and had a stable job. I wanted to marry you to him, but you refused to agree."

Here it comes again. Before Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui knew each other, Zhang Guangcan came to Xiang's house every few days to show his presence just because Xiang Baiwei was beautiful.

Although he didn't do anything to cause controversy, Wang Chunhua knew from the beginning that Zhang Guangcan was interested in her daughter.

Originally, she was wary of Zhang Guangcan, but later, seeing that he truly loved Xiang Baiwei, and that he had a job that many people envied, she decided to marry Xiang Baiwei to him.

But not long after this thought came to her mind, Xiang Baiwei met Jiang Sui, a volunteer teacher who came to Xiangjia Village.

With just a quick glance, Xiang Baiwei threw her whole heart to the handsome young man from the city.

Later, Wang Chunhua mentioned Zhang Guangcan in front of her again, and she told Bai Wei firmly that she would never marry him because she disliked his ugly appearance.

At that time, Wang Chunhua was very angry about this reason.

After all, according to the older generation's thinking, looking good is of no use when it comes to living your life.

But Xiang Baiwei was determined to marry Jiang Sui, and she was so stubborn that no one could change her mind.

Wang Chunhua had no choice but to tactfully tell Zhang Guangcan that she didn't want to marry Bai Wei too early.

Also, because Zhang Guangcan was an orphan and his mother was widowed, Wang Chunhua used this as an excuse to make Zhang Guangcan think that she was dissatisfied with him and completely cleared Xiang Baiwei from the matter.

In the end, Xiang Baiwei finally got her wish and married Jiang Sui, but just two days after the marriage, this little girl began to regret it.

Wang Chunhua was so angry that her head hurt: "I gave birth to you to collect my debt!"

Xiang Baiwei in the kitchen didn't know what to say. She kept talking about this and that. Finally, she couldn't stand being scolded anymore and lowered her voice to defend herself: "He is a young master from the city, and I am a country girl. We shouldn't have been together. How can two melons that are forced together be sweet?"

When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Wang Chunhua, who was originally furious, immediately dissipated a lot of her anger when she saw her crying. She took off the towel around her head and wiped her eyes: "Tell me the truth, did Xiao Jiang wrong you? Did those people from the city gossip about her behind your back and you heard it?"

Jiang Sui, who was eavesdropping outside, became alert upon hearing this and waited attentively for the answer from the kitchen.

But Xiang Baiwei in the kitchen remained silent and didn't say a word no matter how Wang Chunhua coaxed or persuaded her.

In the end, Wang Chunhua was at her wit's end: "So what are you going to do now? You're getting divorced right after getting married. Aren't you afraid that people in the surrounding area will talk about you?"

"We won't divorce now. Jiang Sui's mother is sick. We can't provoke her for the time being. Let's wait three months before we decide!"

Wang Chunhua was so angry that she glared at him, but no matter how soft or hard she used, Xiang Baiwei always kept her mouth shut and refused to say anything more.

In the end, Wang Chunhua was at her wit's end: "Alright, alright, you have the same temper as your father. If you get serious, nothing can stop you. I can't control it either. Just don't regret it later."

"I've already regretted it once, I won't regret it again," Xiang Baiwei looked at her loved one in front of her, sniffed, and came over to hug her, "Mom, I'm studying with Jiang Sui now. When I get into college, I'll take you to live in a small building in the city, take you to eat high-quality noodles, and live a good life."

"Your mother and father have been begging for food in the dirt for a lifetime, and we don't ask for any happiness. We only hope that you can live a good life and enjoy happiness in the future. That's enough. Marriage is a lifelong event. You can't just do it recklessly. You can't listen to what others say about whether you can live or not. You have to feel it with your heart. Others' words don't count, understand?"

She wants to have a new life.

A life lived for oneself, rather than a life lived because of a man who loses himself, is deserted by friends and relatives, and ends up with nothing, even losing his life.

When Xiang Baiwei thought of the child again, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Baby, I'm sorry, we are not destined to be together in this life.

If you want, wait until I get married and then come and see me.

When that time comes, I will definitely take good care of you, give you all my love, and be a good father.

Xiang Baiwei was afraid that Wang Chunhua would notice something was wrong with her, so she squatted in front of the stove and started to pump the bellows: "Let's cook. It's getting dark soon. After dinner, we can go home before dawn."

Jiang Sui, who found nothing outside the kitchen, walked into the main room in a depressed mood and approached Xiang Laogen who was sorting tobacco leaves: "Dad, does this cigarette make you choke? I'll bring you some cigarettes when I come back from the city."

Xiang Lao Gen shook his head and said, "Why spend that money? Save it and live a good life with your wife. I'm used to smoking dry tobacco all my life, and I can't get used to the cigarettes of you city people."

After chatting for a while about the recent weather and farm work, Xiang Laogen wrapped the tobacco leaves in lotus leaves and put them away. He looked at Jiang Sui, who was obviously in a bad mood, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired from planting peanuts today?"

"No, planting peanuts is not a job that can tire me out," Jiang Sui smiled naturally, looking at the dark blue sky outside, "It's just that I just got married, and I'm still a little dazed. I'm worried that I won't be able to take good care of Weiwei in the future, and that she will dislike me and not want me."

Xiang Laogen laughed when he heard this: "That's absolutely impossible. The little girl likes you so much that before the two of you got married, she kept asking us to go to you to propose marriage."

Jiang Sui saw him pick up the pipe again, and took the matchbox beside him attentively: "Let me help you light it."

Xiang Laogen took two puffs of his pipe and smacked his lips. "The day you first came to our village, Weiwei took a liking to you. She came back and pulled me and her mother to the dinner table to talk about how pretty you are."

What Xiang Laogen said was not an exaggeration at all. Xiang Baiwei had been particularly obsessed with Jiang Sui's face.

Jiang Sui is indeed very handsome, and he can attract girls whether in the city or in the countryside.

Xiang Baiwei is not the first, nor the last.

But she was the only one who married Jiang Sui.

Although there is a risk of divorce at any time.

"I only have this face that I can show off. I'm afraid she will get tired of seeing this face in the future. What should I do then?"

Jiang Sui touched his face, his sorrow looking very real.
