Tian Tian was also very surprised. In her previous life, she had to work to earn money, but there was no way.
But in this life she has relatives who love and pamper her, and she feels like she is still a child now. How come Wu Juan, who is one year older than her, is about to get married?
She thought of what she had said to Wu Juan in the morning and turned to look at Wu Juan beside her. Sure enough, she saw that Wu Juan had a shy look on her face, but her eyes were full of anticipation, and she obviously looked very happy that she was engaged.
"She's not young anymore. She's already 18 years old, and she's a grown-up girl. Besides, the family that Xiaojuan got engaged to was very good in every aspect. If she gets rejected now, she won't be able to find such a good family again." The eldest uncle turned around and said at another table.
It sounds like the man's family is pretty nice.
Tian Tian secretly pricked up her ears.
"We are from the same village as her, so if there are any problems with her marriage in the future, we can help Juan'er. Besides, the man's family is well off. His four older sisters are all married, and another one is married in the county town. The four of them love their younger brother very much." The eldest uncle said proudly.
Tian Tian's pupils trembled after hearing this. Four sisters?!
Still helping and loving your brother?
Isn't this favoring boys over girls?
You can't marry into this kind of family! ! ! !
Tian Tian screamed wildly in her heart.
Although we don't know what kind of character the man is now, the key point now is that his mother is very likely a person who favors boys over girls. This kind of person will look down on girls, treat her son as a treasure, look down on her daughter-in-law, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very serious.
If the daughter-in-law has a hot temper, the two of them may fight, but if she has a softer temper, they will just have to endure the anger.
We can't say now that we will move out if we feel uncomfortable living here, as we will in the future. Now the whole family lives together, and basically, unless the old lady passes away, there is no possibility of separating from them.
This old lady who has a grudge against others every day when she opens her eyes must be living a miserable life.
Tian Tian screamed in her heart, but on the surface she looked normal as she lowered her head and ate her food.
Then her mother Lin Meiyu asked hesitantly, "Four daughters?"
Obviously her mother was also worried about the possibility of favoring boys over girls.
Aunt Lin Meishuang heard what Lin Meiyu said and said with a smile: "I know that child too. He is a very obedient and sensible child with a good temper. He is a good child. He is the boy from the Xia family in our brigade."
Judging from the aunt's expression, she is indeed very satisfied with Xia boy.
Tian Tian was silent. In everyone's eyes, she was still a child. Her words were not convincing. No one would listen to her at all, and she didn't say anything either.
Lin Meiyu nodded. After listening to what her elder sister said, she felt that the child was pretty good.
Besides, my aunt loves Wu Juan very much. I think she has already made inquiries about that person. There is no problem with her in all aspects and her character is also good. There should be no problem.
While eating, Tian Tian looked up at Lin Meishuang. It seemed that her aunt was quite satisfied with her son-in-law, so she thought that he must be a good person.
After all, she knew nothing and it was difficult for her to define that family.
Maybe they never thought about having a boy or a girl, but there was no means of contraception at that time, so they kept having children, and it just so happened that the first four were girls and the last one was a boy.
Tian Tian sighed in her heart and could only hope that the man was someone she could trust.
When Tian Tian thought about this, she felt a little bit hateful towards this era.
No one has more choice.
Girls in the city can also choose to go to work.
But what about rural girls? Girls like Tian Tian who can afford to go to junior high school are already very lucky.
I'm talking about people like Wu Juan, who studied for one or two years and then got married when they were old enough. There was nothing they could do even if the person they married was not good. People in that era did not allow divorce, and no one would even think about divorce.
Even if you have your mother's family to support you, the two of you rarely separate.
Girls at this age never have the right to choose for themselves.
Tian Tian looked at the light in Wu Juan's eyes and felt very upset.
My aunt treated Wu Juan very well, but my uncle-in-law and grandmother were clearly a little biased towards boys and were very partial to girls.
Even if Wu Juan is protected by her aunt, with so many children, how good can she be to Wu Juan? How can she devote so much energy to a child who has grown up and no longer needs care? There will definitely be some negligence that will cause Wu Juan to suffer.
Wu Juan probably also wanted to have a new life by getting married, so that she wouldn't be neglected like she was at home.
Tian Tian couldn't speak up to stop them, because everyone would just think she was crazy and wouldn't take her words to heart. She couldn't even take care of herself, so there was no way she could help others.
No one at the table noticed Tian Tian's silence.
Lin Meishuang happily told everyone about her future son-in-law.
As a mother, she naturally sincerely hopes that Wu Juan will live a good life. Boss Wu chooses his son-in-law based on his family background. This time, Lin Meishuang carefully inquired about the Xia family from beginning to end, and confirmed that Xia Changzheng was a good boy with no major problems, so she agreed to the marriage.
After lunch in the afternoon, everyone gathered together and talked for a while before going home with their children.
Because Lin Meiyu and the others brought Tian Yuan with them this time, they did not sleep in the small cabin at night, but went to the west room which had not been occupied for a long time.
The west room is much colder than the small room. Although no one lives in the small room, they cook and heat the kang there every day.
The room at the west end is not used for cooking or barbecuing. It is so cold and gloomy in the room that you dare not even take your hands out.
Tian Yuan, Tian Lisong and others took Tian Zhuo outside to get firewood to heat the kang.
Lin Meiyu and Tian Tian were spreading the quilt inside the house. "Tiantian, why is she so quiet today? Are you unhappy?"
Tiantian was acting abnormal this afternoon. She sat quietly next to me. If someone talked to her, she would say a few words. If no one talked to her, she would just stare blankly, with a look of being worried.
Tian Tian shook her head in a depressed mood, "Mom! If I don't want to get married in the future, can I not get married?"
Lin Meiyu was very surprised when she heard what Tian Tian said, "Why don't you want to get married?"
"I just think that if you get married in the future, you will be angry, happy, and sad because of one person, which is quite scary. And you have no idea what the person you are going to marry is really like, whether he is a good person or not, and whether he will treat you badly."
Tian Tian actually has no confidence in getting married, but she is not completely against it. She just always feels that she will not be so lucky to meet a good man.
Moreover, it seems that people nowadays are bound together for the rest of their lives once they get married. Tian Tian finds it terrifying.
"Tiantian! How you live after marriage depends on yourself. You can't say that if you don't give anything, others will treat you well for no reason. And look at the relationship between your father and me, isn't it pretty good? Your father is capable, so I take good care of the family, show more consideration for him, and love him more. Your father also knows that it's not easy for me at home, so he never says much and doesn't ask for anything. As long as we have food and clothes, that's enough. Throughout our lives, we have never quarreled, and we live pretty well."
"And it doesn't mean that I will be angry because your dad is angry, nor that I will be happy because your dad is happy. At most, I will give your dad some advice when he is angry, and it won't affect me at all. After all, we are still two people. How is it possible that two people have exactly the same emotions?" Lin Meiyu said gently.
"Two people?" Tian Tian was a little confused.
She thought, how could two people living together not be affected emotionally?
Even if you live in a dormitory and your relationship with your roommates is not that good, your mood will be affected slightly.
What’s more, it is an intimate relationship like that between husband and wife that lasts a lifetime.
Moreover, a good man like her father is hard to come by. He doesn't smoke or drink, works hard outside to earn money, and never acts like a male chauvinist at home. He will definitely do anything he can do. How rare are such men?
"Tiantian!" Lin Meiyu reached out and took Tiantian in her arms, rocking her like a child. "If you ask mom for her opinion, I would definitely hope that you get married. After all, the future is so long, and you will definitely encounter many obstacles. At this time, you can have someone by your side, to accompany you when you are sad, to enlighten you when you are angry, and to accompany you through one obstacle after another. This way, mom and dad will feel relieved after they are gone."
"What if the person I meet is a bad person? He hits me, scolds me, or is like Brother Huang next door?" Tiantian hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.
If she encountered such a thing in modern times, she would definitely divorce him without hesitation.
But now that she lives in this era, she has to consider the impact on her family if she really gets divorced.
Rumors are scary, and she was also worried that her parents would be hurt because of this incident.
I don’t know whether her parents will support her, or after supporting her, they will sigh and say that everyone has been through this, so just be patient.
"If he really does that! Then we won't live with him anymore!" Lin Meiyu said without thinking, "Isn't there a word in the city now, something like... divorce, yes, divorce! If you two are really unhappy, then we will divorce him. My daughter is so good, why should she be beaten and scolded by others? We won't be bullied, come home, mom and dad can support you. If anyone dares to say a word to you, mom will scold him back for you!"
Lin Meiyu said this with great heroism, like a hero who punishes evil and promotes good in the world.
Tian Tian couldn't help laughing after hearing what Lin Meiyu said. Her heart felt sour and swollen, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
