Chapter 153: Poor
He knew very well in his heart that his marriage with Jiang Wan was doomed to fail.
Because ever since Jiang Wan was admitted to the Normal University in the provincial capital.
The attitude of Jiang Wan's family towards him immediately changed drastically, and it was completely different from their original affectionate attitude.
In fact, every time he visited her home, she would verbally attack him.
Anyway, what they said implicitly showed their contempt for him, and during that time, their family had always wanted to put the wedding on the agenda as soon as possible.
After all, Fu Yu is considered a late marriage among the young men of the same age in the village.
He was getting older year by year, but his childhood playmates had already married and become fathers.
He was the only one who had been engaged since childhood, so he was waiting for Jiang Wan's family's consent, so he waited year after year.
It directly increased his age.
Therefore, Fu Yu's family kept urging them to hurry up and hold the wedding.
Before, Jiang Wan's family had been trying to postpone the wedding on the grounds that Jiang Wan was studying.
Until Jiang Wan received the admission letter from the Provincial Normal University, whenever her family came to talk about marriage, Jiang Wan's family members no longer even pretended.
Everything about it was an insult to their family.
What they meant was that Fu Yu was just a peasant in the countryside now, and although he earned a lot of money, their daughter would be a top student who would go to university in the future.
After graduation, there will be a bright future ahead of you.
By then, what kind of person will you not be able to find?
It's impossible to waste time on Fu Yu.
All these words were said by Jiang Wan and her family to Fu Yu.
The purpose is to let him take the initiative to propose to cancel the engagement, so that both families will not be embarrassed.
Moreover, if Fu Yu took the initiative to bring it up, the villagers would not say anything unpleasant even if they knew about it.
Nor will it have any negative impact on his daughter.
So, Jiang Wan's family's wishful thinking was very shrewd.
After all, Jiang Wan is now a very popular person in her family. It has reached the point where smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave.
Every day, neighbors praise their daughter Jiang Wan, saying that she is a good student and pretty.
Fu Yu was in Jiang Wan's house. After hearing those words, he fell into silence for a long time.
He thought about it. In fact, in his heart, after learning that Jiang Wan was admitted to the Normal University in the provincial capital, he knew, even if no one said it, that he was not worthy of Jiang Wan.
Moreover, although he and Jiang Wan had been engaged to each other at an early age, they had always behaved in a proper manner in their relationship over the years and had not done anything out of the ordinary.
To be honest, Fu Yu had no romantic feelings for Jiang Wan at all. It was just that the elders of the two families tied them together when they were young and ignorant.
Therefore, Fu Yu knew in his heart that Jiang Wan had been his fiancée since childhood, and he had the responsibility to protect her, so he was extra careful when treating her.
But in fact, there is not even a trace of love between men and women in this bit of care.
Fu Yu was very clear about this.
Even for him, his feelings towards Jiang Wan were purely brotherly and sisterly.
It doesn't even rise to the level of a relationship between a man and a woman.
Therefore, Fu Yu has always had a cold reaction to this marriage.
In his family, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu were very optimistic about this marriage and wanted to bring the two people together.
That's why Fu Yu came to Jiang Wan's house again and again to ask when the wedding could be held as scheduled.
At that time, after Fu Yu received the clear rejection, he hesitated a lot.
He was thinking about his old father and mother at home who were looking forward to his marriage very much.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer them.
You can't say that they think their daughter is an excellent student and will have a bright future, so they think he is not worthy of her and kick him out of the marriage, right?
If that happens, there will still be some noise.
Therefore, Fu Yu was in a dilemma about this matter. He didn't know how to go back and tell his family.
So, he thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out how to tell his family about it, and the marriage was off.
Just when he was hesitating, what happened between him and Jiang Xin happened, and the bride of the wedding was directly replaced.
Coincidentally, it was just what Jiang Wan and her family wished.
Marriage naturally cannot be concluded.
Jiang Wan can go to the provincial capital to pursue her life as she wishes, without being bound by marriage.
He could also continue to stay in this village, find a suitable girl, start a family, get married and have children, and live a simple but happy life.
So, when Jiang Wan brought people from the village to catch the adulterer, Fu Yu announced without hesitation that he wanted to marry Jiang Xin.
Later, everything just happened naturally.
He and Jiang Xin had a smooth wedding.
It's just that there were some bumps in the process.
Because of the previous incident of catching someone cheating, Jiang Xin’s reputation in the village was not particularly good.
After all, there is a misunderstanding here.
Fu Yu was still somewhat smart. He even suspected that Jiang Wan might have been behind what happened that day.
Because that day, when he turned his head and looked at Jiang Wan, he discovered very obviously that she didn't dare to look him in the eye at that time, and it was clear from her eyes that she felt guilty.
So, why did he wake up in the same bed with Jiang Xin? It was most likely Jiang Wan who did it.
Jiang Xin looked at it. She was only eighteen years old, and she clearly didn't understand the ways of the world. How could she do such a thing?
Moreover, before this, he and Jiang Xin had clearly not had any contact at all.
If that's the case, how could it be possible that Jiang Xin was secretly in love with him, which was why he resorted to such a desperate plan and designed to force him to marry her?
It's just ridiculous.
After all, in his opinion, Jiang Xin and he were two completely parallel lines that never intersected.
When Jiang Xin looked at him, there was not a trace of admiration in her eyes, but rather embarrassment.
If it was true as the people in the village said that Jiang Xin fell in love with him at first sight, then why did Jiang Xin look so confused and embarrassed when she saw him?
In Fu Yu's mind, he could figure it out with just a simple analysis.
It is very possible that he has been thinking about it for too long, and Jiang Wan is about to start school, so she wants to cut off ties with him as soon as possible.
That's why I resorted to this desperate measure because I was afraid that he would not agree to cancel the engagement.
He directly pushed the poor little girl Jiang Xin out, and caused her to be scolded by the whole village.
It’s just that on the wedding day, Fu Yu was in a hurry to go out to sea, so everything was not explained clearly, which led to so many misunderstandings.
But it was too late.
Regarding the wedding, it can be said that Fu's mother was completely hands-off and didn't care about anything at all.
In the end, the wedding was successfully completed thanks to Fu Yu and Fu's father.
With the ten yuan given by Fu's mother, she was able to buy a few window decorations with wedding characters, a red washbasin, and other things. She couldn't even afford new sheets and quilt covers, and just bought two red pillowcases out of perfunctory consideration.
As for the bride and groom's clothes, they were also very perfunctory, just two flowers pinned on their everyday clothes.
As for the food, it was all prepared by Fu Yu's friends, and he didn't even ask Fu's mother for a penny.
Even to this day, Fu Yu still owes money to his friend, and he is waiting to return the money after returning from this voyage.
Of course, Jiang Xin and Fu's mother were completely unaware of all this.
Back to the present moment, after hearing what the sister-in-law from Fu's mother's family said, Nian Di was very sensible and came out from the corner.
Then he ran to the closet, rummaged around, and took out Jiang Xin's beautiful dresses from the closet.
Because the skirt was so beautiful, and she had never seen such a beautiful skirt since she was a child, so after receiving the skirt, their family directly chose to put it in the closet and prepare to keep it well.
Be prepared to take it out when it can be used.
But after seeing this beautiful dress, she and her sister were reluctant to wear it.
Nian Di took out the clothes and walked in front of everyone.
It was the first time that Jiang Xin looked Nian Di's face clearly. The little girl looked the same age as her, but in comparison, her life was a hundred times more difficult than hers.
Not only was he very thin, but he also had a pale face and bad skin. His hair, which should have been jet black, was now a completely nutritionless yellow. His hair was like dead grass, and although it was combed neatly, it looked like its hair quality was particularly bad.
If you look from a distance, you would think he is a child from a poor family, the kind that can't even get enough food to eat.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. It's obvious that Fu's mother's life in her parents' home is pretty good.
As soon as Jiang Xin entered the house, she smelled the delicious aroma of pork ribs. It was obvious that the meals at home were quite good.
But how could this little girl be so hungry? In fact, you can tell at a glance that she is malnourished, and you can find out without even having to go to the hospital for a check-up.
I guess this family favors boys over girls, so they were mean to the little girl.
After all, Jiang Xin lowered her head and glanced at the person next to her. He should be Nian Di's biological brother. He looked about eight or nine years younger than Nian Di. Not only were the clothes he wore new, but he also looked plump and white. It was obvious that he was well nourished.
Jiang Xin fell silent instantly.
She suddenly felt sorry for this little girl named Nian Di.
Especially just now, Jiang Xin also heard what Fu's mother, her mother from her natal family, and her sister-in-law from her natal family said, that they would arrange a blind date for this little girl tomorrow?
In that case, wouldn't that mean I'd be like her, getting married at a young age?
Just look at the appearance of this little girl. She is obviously an honest and easy-to-bully person. If she gets married in the future, if she meets a powerful mother-in-law, won’t she be bullied?
After all, her parents' home doesn't seem to be the kind that can shelter her from the wind and rain.
It's basically useless.
If this girl gets married in the future, and if her husband's family is not good, she will be a complete cannon fodder.
If, if I could marry into a good family, I could still live a good life.
Jiang Xin's heart was instantly filled with mixed feelings.
Moreover, it goes without saying that this little girl can imagine what her future will be like. Judging from the character of her family, who favor boys over girls, when this little girl gets married, they will definitely force her to help her family.
In the future, she will definitely be a brother-supporting woman. To put it bluntly, she will be the second mother of Fu.
Jiang Xin fell silent. She lowered her head and looked at her skirts. Although they were stolen only a few hours ago, they seemed to have been well preserved.
Jiang Xin looked at Nian Di's pitiful expression. Even though she had never communicated with her, she could feel that this girl was a good person.
Since Fu's mother has already taken the initiative to ask to leave a skirt for the little girl, she will naturally give the little girl a chance to let her choose a skirt she likes.
Anyway, that big villain Fu's mother will pay for it.
So Jiang Xin started speaking directly. She lowered her head and her voice was quite gentle when she spoke.
Said to Nian Di:
"Among these five skirts, is there one you like?"
"If there are any, then pick out the ones you like and let your aunt pay for them."
After hearing Jiang Xin's words, Nian Di's eyes instantly lit up. She was originally at the age when she loved dressing up, but because of family reasons, she lived a relatively poor life.
What's more, her mother doesn't value her as a daughter and doesn't spend money to buy her some decorations or let her dress up.
But in her heart, she still longed for beautiful new clothes.
At this moment, when she heard Jiang Xin say that she could keep a new dress, she instantly became happy.
Carefully, she stared at the skirts, trying to pick out her favorite one.
Since everyone agrees anyway, it's okay for her to take a skirt, right?
