Chapter 149: Is it considered a marriage?

"Eat more!"

Ning Zhiyuan added several pieces to Xia Liang's meal. In the past, Xia Liang didn't like to eat greasy food. Especially in the last few years, in order to maintain her figure, she hadn't eaten braised pork for many years.

But now seeing this greasy food, she actually felt like eating it.

Although it is greasy, it does not affect her desire to eat at all.

I took a piece and put it in my mouth. It was really delicious. It felt like I hadn't eaten something so delicious for a long time.

Xia Liang ate all three or four pieces in the bowl. Auntie Li laughed and said, "Xiao Ning, give Xia Liang a few more pieces. If she likes it, let her eat more!"

Ning Zhiyuan nodded and continued to pick up some meat from Xia Liang. Meng Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily: "Eat, eat, eat. Aren't you afraid of getting fat to death..."

Her voice was not loud, but everyone at the table heard it.

"If you don't want to eat, get out. You don't give any money to our family. We are already giving you face by letting you come here to eat for free. Why do you complain about this and that when you are slapped in the face?"

Yang Xiaohong immediately slammed the table and looked at her angrily.

Meng Xiaoxiao's mouth was flat, she looked pitiful, her eyes were red, tears welled up in her eye sockets: "I..."

Su Yaxian felt embarrassed when she saw this. She took out five yuan from her pocket and put it on the table: "This is the meal money for Xiaoxiao and I for the next few days!"

Five dollars is not a small amount, she thought it should be enough.

Seeing Su Yaxian's behavior, Ning Zhiyuan frowned unhappily and wanted to say something, but Xia Liang poked her and whispered, "Don't!"

"Oh, Mom Yuan, we don't mean that. How can you come here and ask for money for your meal?"

Auntie Li's words made Meng Xiaoxiao's face turn even redder. She stood up, turned around and ran away.

Tears were falling as I ran.

As soon as I arrived at the educated youth compound, I saw several educated youth in the yard, eating with enamel pots in their hands.

"Meng Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"

Seeing her running back crying, Zhou Hao went up to her and asked with concern.

Zhou Hao has been very concerned about Meng Xiaoxiao these days. Li Qiang and the others are disdainful of Zhou Hao's behavior. This guy is already married, but he still greets other women.

Didn't he say that his family conditions were good? He would soon be able to help Ye get a quota to return to the city, but why was he trying to please this Meng Xiaoxiao now?

Some of the educated youth didn't understand, but many people could see that Meng Xiaoxiao's family was well off.

"Hey, Yang Hongmei, have you found a problem?"

Li Xue watched coldly and took a sip of the porridge in the enamel jar.

"What?" Yang Hongmei was also eating from an enamel pot. Although the food in the educated youth center was not very good, at least she could fill her stomach.

"This Meng Xiaoxiao and Xia Jing really look alike!"

Li Xue said that the two people's behaviors are very similar, both like to act pitifully and pretend to be weak.

Yang Hongmei looked at Meng Xiaoxiao seriously, sizing up her facial features, then turned to look at Xia Jing not far away, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

"What are you looking at? I'm saying that they both act alike!"

Li Xue was also speechless. These two people were completely unrelated.

"No, I just feel that their facial features are somewhat similar!"

Li Xue said with disdain: "How is that possible? Meng Xiaoxiao is from a big city, I heard it's the capital. As for Xia Jing?"

They all knew that Xia Jing and Xia Liang were sisters, and that their homes were not far from Yangliu Village, which was just a remote small town.

How could two people look alike when the two families are tens of thousands miles apart?

Yang Hongmei shook her head: "That's true, they can't be alike!"

Xia Jing over there didn't have time to eat anymore. She just sat in the corner, holding an enamel pot in her hand, looking up at Zhou Hao not far away in disbelief.

Zhou Hao had never been so kind to me before. But why?

She stared straight at Zhou Hao and didn't step forward to question him, but just looked at him intently.

It was hard to ignore such a look. Meng Xiaoxiao also noticed it. She turned her head and met Xia Jing's murderous gaze.

During the few days since she came here, she has heard a lot of things. She knows that Xia Jing and Zhou Hao are a couple, and she is even pregnant with Zhou Hao's child.

Xia Jing and Xia Liang are sisters, and the relationship between them is not good. To be more precise, Xia Liang's relationship with her family is not good, and they have almost cut off all ties.

Xia Liang stole her man, so can she do the same?

Meng Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and she asked aggrievedly, "Why is she looking at me like that?"

Her finger pointed in the direction of Xia Jing. Zhou Hao also looked over in the direction of her hand. Seeing Xia Jing's half-dead look, he frowned in disgust: "Why are you arguing with her?"

Meng Xiaoxiao's eyes were red as she asked in a low voice, "I heard that you two got married?"

"Who told you that?" Zhou Hao retorted directly. She didn't speak loudly because she was afraid that Xia Jing would make a fuss.

"No? I thought you had already..."

"No. By the way, why were you crying just now? Did someone bully you?"

Hearing Zhou Hao's question, Meng Xiaoxiao felt even more aggrieved. She sobbed and told him what had just happened at the village chief's house.

Zhou Hao became even more indignant after hearing this, and the two of them walked to one side, talking in a twangy way.

"Aren't you very capable? Why don't you dare to say a word now?"

Yang Xiaohong and Li Xue walked up to Xia Jing and looked at her with disdain.

Xia Jing lowered her head and took a sip of the porridge in the enamel jar. She was a pregnant woman now, how could it be enough for her to only eat these things?

Thinking of what Meng Xiaoxiao had just said, that Xia Liang was eating braised pork over there, Xia Jing suddenly felt something was wrong all over.

She also wanted to eat braised pork. However, she was penniless now. The reason she could continue to live in the educated youth camp was because her mother gave her some food.

But now her mother is also in jail, and it's not certain when she will be released. Her father's meager salary is simply not enough to support her food.

Zhou Hao didn't help either. Didn't he say that his family was rich? They are already married.

Xia Jing suddenly thought of what Xia Liang said to her that day, and now she became even calmer.

"Yang Hongmei, Li Xue, do we need to get a marriage certificate to get married now?"

Xia Jing's voice was not loud, but she did not look aggrieved as before.

"have no idea!"

In the past, when people in the village got married, they only had to hold a banquet. As for their place, which is a small city, they don’t know what procedures are required for marriage.

After all, neither of them has ever been married.

"So are Zhou Hao and I married?"

After hearing what Xia Jing said, the two looked at each other. What happened that day seemed like a joke. In fact, they didn't know whether it counted or not.
