Chapter 139: Girls Are All Money Losers
On the train, Shen Xiu'e and Zhao Huili bought hard seats. It was the first time for both of them to travel far away, and they were very excited.
Sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside and chatting.
As they chatted, Zhao Huili clearly noticed that Shen Xiu'e's face looked a little strange.
"Xiu'e, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Xiu'e didn't know what was wrong with her. She just felt her stomach churning and she wanted to vomit but couldn't.
My head hurts a bit.
It's true that she had never taken a train before, but she had taken a car!
She doesn’t get carsick when riding in a car?
I have never experienced motion sickness, but I don’t know what happened this time?
Why is it so uncomfortable to take a train?
But fearing that Zhao Huili would worry, she waved her hand.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach!"
Zhao Huili immediately thought that she might be carsick.
There were many people on the train, and there was a smell of sweat and smelly feet, as well as the smell of fermented leek buns that some people had eaten to fill their stomachs on the way!
Although she thought it smelled bad, she could still bear it. But what was the family background of the Zhou family? Shen Xiu'e has never suffered much in her life.
Naturally, the body can’t take it!
But the train had only been running for half an hour, and there was no village or shop nearby, so I couldn't even buy some fruit to help her press the weight.
After thinking about it, I realized that it was a good thing that I brought a water bottle with me!
He opened the lid of the kettle and handed it to her: "Xiu'e, how about you drink some first to see if it will make you feel better?"
Shen Xiu'e's face turned pale, she nodded, took the kettle and took a quick sip.
I did feel better, but that churning feeling in my stomach was still there.
Zhao Huili was a little anxious: "Xiu'e, please bear with it for a while. Wait until we get to the next platform and I'll see if there's any fruit for sale downstairs. I'll buy some for you!"
Shen Xiu'e originally wanted to say no, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. She felt that if she opened her mouth, she would feel like vomiting and she would lose control of it.
Just then, two oranges were suddenly handed to them from the opposite side.
"Auntie, are you carsick? I just happened to bring some oranges with me. Eat some. Put the orange peel under your nose and smell it. It might make you feel better!"
Zhao Huili looked up and saw a young wife holding a child across the street.
She was pretty, but she looked like she came from a rural background. She had a healthy wheat-colored skin, a big pigtail, and was wearing a washed-out blue shirt with white flowers, with the sleeves rolled up to the cuffs.
The baby in my arms is only a little over one year old and can't speak much yet. He can only babbled something and occasionally called out "Mom!" "Eat!" "Juju!"
The little guy is very cute, with a chubby head, big eyes, and two little front teeth showing when he smiles.
At this time, he was smiling at Zhao Huili and Shen Xiu'e.
The two people's hearts softened at the same time when they saw it, and they instantly thought of the baby in Weiwei's belly, wondering if the baby would be as cute when it was born.
Or is he more likable than this child?
Zhao Huili took the oranges from her hand with a smile and thanked her gratefully: "Thank you, girl. How much are these two oranges? How about I give you the money?"
Lian Fengxia waved her hand quickly: "Auntie, you are too polite. These oranges are grown on our own trees. They are free. I think the auntie is not feeling well and seems to be carsick. Let her eat some and maybe she will feel better!"
Seeing how honest this girl is, not only Zhao Huili, but even Shen Xiu'e, who had not dared to say anything, thought that this girl was pretty good.
While Shen Xiu'e was eating oranges, Zhao Huili started chatting with others.
After chatting with her, I found out that she was also going to Qilian Island to join the army.
Everyone is on the way!
But Zhao Huili looked at the baby in her arms and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Girl, you brought the baby out by yourself?"
Lian Fengxia nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, my parents-in-law are old, and I have many brothers and sisters in my family. Life is not easy, so I just come to join the army to relieve some pressure on my family!"
In fact, the most important thing is that she was forced into it!
Their home was in a remote rural area more than 40 miles away from Beijing. The family was very poor and the work points they earned were only enough to feed themselves half full throughout the year.
There are many brothers and sisters in the family. Her husband was a soldier and was at risk of sacrifice at any time. He lives so far away and can only come back once a year.
Many girls are unwilling to get married because getting married is no different from being a widow.
But the Wang family offered a high bride price, so her mother was tempted and decided to marry her off.
Although she was unwilling at first and even cried several times for this, her three brothers were still bachelors and had no money to marry!
Her mother said that if she married him, she could use the betrothal money given by the Wang family to find a wife for her eldest brother!
She doesn't want to see her three brothers remain single, right?
When her sister got married, she brought a lot of money and good things to the family, which helped them get through the winter.
Otherwise, one of their family would probably starve to death!
Now it's her turn to contribute to the family.
My parents said that the purpose of having a daughter is to work for the family and earn money for the bride price!
Because girls are money-losing goods, sooner or later they will get married and become part of someone else's family.
Only sons are the roots and can give birth to offspring for their family!
Lian Fengxia has a good personality and has been very capable since she was a child. While her parents and brother worked in the fields to earn work points, she would cook and wash clothes at home when she was very young, and keep the house in tidy order.
She had also thought about her own future, but when her parents made the matter of "selling their daughter" public, she finally couldn't help crying out of sadness.
But being born in such a family, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
Fortunately, before getting married, she hurriedly met her future man. The man was tall, with extraordinary temperament, his back was always straight, and he looked good too.
She was actually satisfied in her heart. Later, she heard from her mother that his name was Wang Chuanling and he was a soldier in a garrison on the coast.
The Wang family's situation is pretty good in their opinion.
Thinking about the future, as long as I leave this family and go to the Wang family, I should be able to live a good life. What does it matter whether the man comes back or not?
Isn’t this how women live their lives?
So, after getting married, even though she could only see Wang Chuanling once a year, she still managed the Wang family in order and took good care of Wang Chuanling's parents and younger brothers and sisters!
I heard that Wang Chuanling was promoted in the army and became a cadre, and his life seemed to be getting better and better.
But her parents often came to ask for money. Her mother would cry about being poor to her all day long, saying that the family had no money and asked her to help out.
He even brought his eldest brother's children to come and eat and drink for free.
Her mother-in-law and father-in-law were old and soft-tempered, so even though they were furious, they were too embarrassed to just kick the person out.
This time, her mother brought several children home for food and drink and even took away a bag of rice and flour, which made her father-in-law so angry that he fell ill.
