"Sapling, you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a good family for you," Sapling's mother said, looking at her with concern.
"Mother, I don't want to get married yet. I haven't thought it through. I want to wait a little longer." After what happened with Liang Tiantian last time, Shumiao became even more silent.
Liang Tiantian's situation indirectly revealed their thoughts to her, which still made her feel bitter.
It's not hard to tell from Liang Tiantian's words that Lin Guodong probably thought the same thing; he's just a kind person and didn't say anything hurtful.
She told herself that there was no future between her and Lin Guodong. Lin Guodong would go back to the city anyway. He was educated, so how could he be interested in someone like her?
The more I tell myself this, the sadder I become, and I feel powerless to change my fate.
"Mother knows what you're thinking, but this isn't a good thing, girl. Even if you two get together, you won't have anything to talk about. What will you talk about? Do you know what he's thinking?"
“You’ve all experienced different things. Although your mother isn’t very educated, I’ve seen far too much in my life.”
“There are always girls in the village who want to marry into the city because they think the work is too hard every day, but very few of them end up with good results.”
"What's the difference between your thinking and theirs now? Besides, what are you going to do if they go back to the city?"
Qin Shumiao actually understood all these things, but she just couldn't let go of them in her heart, so she thought she could delay it for as long as possible.
"Mother, let me think about it some more. I understand what you and my sister mean," the sapling said helplessly.
"Then think it over carefully, girl. I won't nag you anymore."
The sapling nodded, its mind in turmoil.
When spring came and work resumed, Liang Tiantian, who was pregnant, did not plan to go. Ever since Qin Youfu married Liang Tiantian, he had been very diligent and hardworking, wanting to give his family a better life.
Qin Shumiao stared blankly at Lin Guodong's face for a moment. Lin Guodong was working with his head down, but because of his years of studying, he had a very refined air about him.
There were many people working, but he was still the first person you could spot in the crowd. He was the center of attention just by standing there. The more outstanding he was, the less worthy I felt of him.
Qin Shumiao felt a painful tightness in her chest. She had told herself to let go, but at this moment she knew she really couldn't.
Why did I have to meet someone like this? If I hadn't met him, could I have just married a suitable person like the girls in the village and lived a good life?
But when I see this person, I feel very sad. I have tried my best, but I just don't get good results. What should I do?
Who can tell me what to do? Qin Shumiao felt very lost, a question in her heart that she couldn't see the way forward.
Qin Shumiao was wondering whether she should ask about the wild vegetables. Her older sister had always been very capable and resourceful, and the family's good life was thanks to her.
She lowered her head and continued working numbly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. To avoid being seen, the sapling could only keep her head down tightly. At that moment, Qin Shumiao was extremely heartbroken.
The people around noticed and whispered among themselves, but because they were still somewhat afraid of Qin Yecai, they didn't say anything.
After all, everyone had their doubts about what happened with Liang Tiantian last time.
