She is becoming more independent and smarter.
Guan Jinghua is proud of her daughter, but also has unconcealed worries.
Through communicating with Xiaomei, she discovered that her daughter's views on marriage were increasingly different from hers. She advocated free love and harmonious marriage, and she disapproved of her father's denial of his wife from the bottom of her heart.
"Mom, you do a lot of work at home too. You're not the idler who lives a life of luxury that Dad says you are."
Xu Mei said firmly, "I will never look for someone like my father in the future."
Guan Jinghua stayed up all night, tossing and turning thinking about this sentence.
Xu Jueping didn't know what she was thinking, and took them to attend the Chu family's birthday party the next day.
Shortly after returning, he proposed that Xu Mei marry Chu Yanlong.
Guan Jinghua's heart skipped a beat; the thing she was most worried about had happened.
That period was a nightmare that she would recall over and over again throughout her life.
Her daughter was unwilling to marry into the Chu family, and Guan Jinghua did not want to send her beautiful daughter to be someone else's stepmother. The mother and daughter, who were both weak in the family, twisted a thin thread to resist.
But this thin thread was soon ruthlessly torn apart by Xu Jueping.
He locked Xu Mei up at home and did not allow her to go out again.
He also told her how much Chu Yanlong liked Xu Mei and how promising the Chu family was.
"Xu Meixiao, you can't understand my good intentions. After all, what kind of biological father would harm his own child?"
"Yanlong's mother is gone, and Yanlong also said that he would give his son to his father to raise. Xiaomei is the head of the family after she gets married. She is so smart and independent, so she will definitely have a good life."
Guan Jinghua opened her mouth and wanted to argue.
But Xu Jueping quickly saw this, and he finally revealed his trump card.
"This is all for Xu Qing's future. Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. If Xu Mei is still unwilling in the end, we can talk about it later."
After hearing the end, Guan Jinghua reluctantly agreed.
If the daughter still doesn't want to in the end, there is still room for change.
Xu Mei became thinner day by day.
She was locked in her room and couldn't read, go out, or even go downstairs.
Seeing her daughter like this, Guan Jinghua felt distressed, so she helped Xu Mei go out while her husband was not paying attention, and told her to come back early.
After Xu Mei went out, it was already the next day when she came back.
The family was furious, and Xu Jueping was so angry that he even beat her.
In the evening, Xu Meilu agreed to meet Chu Yanlong, and Xu Jueping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The wedding date was finally set for two months later.
The family no longer restricted Xu Mei from going out, but Guan Jinghua remembered very clearly that before her daughter went out that day, she hesitated in the living room, which was unusual for her.
"What's wrong, Xiaomei?" Guan Jinghua was concerned about her. "Are you going to the bookstore?"
"Well, Mom, you've lost weight recently, so you need to get some rest."
"You're the one who's lost weight," Guan Jinghua touched her face, "Is there anything you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you today."
Xu Mei put her face close to hers and said, "Pork ribs, please."
From that day on, the mother and daughter had never been so close again, and Guan Jinghua's eyes were red.
She hugged her daughter tightly and wanted to apologize, but the deeply ingrained cognition from childhood made her unable to speak.
I could only stand at the door and look at my daughter's back, waving to her when she turned around.
Xu Mei looked back many times until she could no longer see her, and then Guan Jinghua came into the house.
She made the ribs.
But the daughter never came back.
