"Tian Xue, right?"
"……I am."
The person being asked felt a little embarrassed. It was not that she didn't know Song Tianshun's elder sister Song Jiayu. In other words, she had known her since Song Jiayu moved to Tianshui Lane. She was a powerful woman whom she envied.
Who says women are inferior to men? This is what she saw in Song Jiayu.
Although Electrician Jiang is a good man, no one in Tianshui Lane would say that Song Jiayu is not worthy of him. With Song Jiayu's current worker level, it is more than enough for her to support a family alone.
Just like her stepfather, a second-level fitter who works in a military factory, he is as proud as a rooster in front of their family every day. To her, her mother, and her younger brother who was born in recent years, this father is only nice to her younger brother. The rest of his fatherly love is used on his stepsister.
Tian Xue didn't feel that there was anything unfair, she was just envious.
Facing Song Jiayu at this moment, she was very uneasy.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to settle accounts with you. After all, my brother has already made it clear to you. I just want to ask why you have to look for my brother? I can see that you don't like my brother."
The reason why a woman doesn't like a man but still wants to marry him...well, after listening to what Tian Xue said, Song Jiayu didn't expect that it was because of the Song family. The word "family" includes smart and generous sisters and brothers-in-law, the kind and amiable Song father and mother, two children who are not as noisy as those in other families, and an obedient younger brother.
In Tian Xue's dry description, Song Jiayu saw a home with a strong and harmonious family atmosphere.
It's a bit funny and sad. She didn't like Tianshun, but instead liked the family behind Tianshun.
People only think about making up for what they don’t have when they don’t have anything.
In modern terms, this is because one's original family is unhappy, so one wants to marry into a happy family and spend the next few decades of life healing it.
Song Jiayu didn't want to say anything more to Tian Xue and wanted to turn around and leave.
But he was stopped by Tian Xue.
"If, if your parents asked you to marry someone who was about to die of illness, would you do it?"
Such questions...
Song Jiayu replied: "It depends on the first two things: do I like that dying person? Second, did my family sell me off? Third, does that dying person's family have any use for me?"
"So... that's what you think." Tian Xue bowed to Song Jiayu, turned around and ran away.
This made Song Jiayu, who was standing still, touch her chin.
About what happened next with Tian Xue.
Song Jiayu learned about this from her biological mother.
Recently, this incident became the hottest gossip in Tianshui Lane.
"Tian Xue is such a pitiful child. She followed her biological mother to marry someone else, and her stepfather didn't treat her as his own child. We have nothing to say about that, but how could her biological mother follow her stepfather and push Tian Xue into this pit of misery?"
"As for the Lu family's situation, the doctor diagnosed that the boy really doesn't have much time left. They say if he gets married, wouldn't that mean he'll be a widow?"
"And the betrothal money they asked for was one hundred yuan. Is this a marriage or selling their daughter?"
“…”
Based on her mother's words, Song Jiayu probably restored the original situation.
Tian Xue, whose father died when she was young, had her mother marry her current second husband, who also had a daughter from his ex-wife, so the two families formed a family.
But Tian Xue was not liked by her stepfather and was not loved by her mother. She was like a transparent person in that family. She had suffered since childhood, and the last bit of value in her life was squeezed out by her biological mother and stepfather.
That's why he chose the Song family, chose Song Tianshun, and took action, first trying to please Song's father and mother, and then trying to please Song Tianshun.
That's why there was a scene that day when I chased Tianshun to ask him questions.
He made a final effort for his own life.
In the following days, a second wave of gossip about Tian Xue appeared in the alley.
One day, this hardworking girl brought two sets of clothes with her and walked into the house she was going to marry.
The Tian family has a bad reputation for being unkind, not giving dowries to married daughters, being harsh to stepdaughters, etc. In this group life, once a bad reputation is established, the Tian family has realized the consequences, and the first one is the marriage of the Tian family's eldest daughter.
The young talent who was originally promising was a formal worker in a military factory, but his job was ruined because of these rumors.
The other family is also afraid that the Tian family will sell their daughter again.
The head of the Tian family was bullied while working in the factory, but this time no one helped him.
As for Tian Xue's mother, whenever she goes out now, she is either arguing with someone or on the way to an argument. The person with whom she had a bad relationship before now grabs Tian's mother's pigtails and laughs at her every day.
Even Tian Xue's younger brother was disliked by other children, who said that his family did not allow them to play with him.
Such a change... After Tian Xue found Song Jiayu again, all those doubts were resolved.
A state-owned hotel in Beilin City.
Song Jiayu sat at the same table with Tian Xue, whom she was not very familiar with.
"You came to see me and invited me to dinner at the restaurant. What's the matter? Can you just tell me directly? I don't like beating around the bush when talking to people." She was still very curious about Tian Xue's way of thinking.
"I came to thank you for showing me the way."
No...ah, what's going on with this train of thought?
Song Jiayu pointed at herself.
"I?"
Tian Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand what you said to me last time, one, two, three."
"Oh? What did you understand?" I didn't understand anything!
"First, I went to see the dying man. I don't like him, but I like his family. His parents are very nice, his eldest brother and his wife respect the rules, and his children are not bad kids. I've been living very comfortably these days since I got married."
"Secondly, before I got married, I inquired about the dowry my stepfather and mother planned to bring me. It wasn't much more than two sets of clothes. They even wanted me to bring an empty suitcase to save face for them. I confirmed that they were selling their daughter, so I spread some rumors. Since they didn't want me to have an easy life, I wouldn't let them either."
"Third, their family has a great benefit for me. My husband, who is nearly dying, has a job at a military factory and has been looking for someone to fill his shift. I am his wife, and after discussing it with my eldest brother, sister-in-law, and my parents, I will take over his job at the military factory. After this month, I will be able to go to work at the factory."
Tian Xue said these words. She is a very stubborn person, not very smart, but once she has figured something out, she will keep working in that direction.
After listening to this, Song Jiayu really wanted to give a thumbs up to this person's thinking process.
