Chapter 41 Child Marriage



Liang Su had a headache and didn't know where to start packing.

For a moment, she was a little confused.

Shen Congji hadn't left yet. He stood at the door for a while before speaking: "You can choose one room to clean up, and ignore the others."

Liang Su nodded, hesitated for a long time, chose one of the rooms, opened the door, and something flashed before his eyes and fell to the ground with a plop.

When she looked closely, she saw that it was a centipede longer than her palm!

After falling from above, it struggled on the floor for a while and quickly crawled towards Liang Su's shoe surface.

Liang Su was so frightened that her face turned pale, she screamed and stepped back repeatedly.

Shen Congji's expression changed slightly, and he strode in from outside. His sharp eyes were fixed on the huge centipede, and he crushed it with one foot.

"It's okay, it's just a centipede."

Liang Su had goose bumps all over his body and his lips turned pale.

Just a centipede?

What a disgusting creature!

"Why are there centipedes here?"

Liang Su didn't even dare to look at the corpse of a centipede. She found it very scary whether it was a legless creature or a creature with many legs.

Shen Congji helped her dispose of the centipede's corpse and explained, "Tile-roofed houses are damp and easily harbor centipedes. This is very common."

Especially in the south where there is a lot of rain, it is even more humid.

"Common? You mean there might be more centipedes hiding here?"

Liang Su rarely showed fear, but this time he was really scared.

Shen Congji raised his eyebrows and said, “You should have known before coming to the countryside that the conditions here are not as good as those in the city.”

He was actually soft-hearted, but Liang Su had to get through this hurdle by herself, and his comfort was useless.

Liang Su forced himself to calm down and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Just now, Shen Congji helped her carry her luggage. She was confused by the rare warmth he showed and forgot how much he hated her.

Although what he said just now was a bit cold, it made sense.

She should have understood before she came that the environment here would not be very good.

"I can do it myself. Please go back first. Sorry for the trouble."

Shen Congji frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but Liang Su's cold attitude was like a small thorn piercing his heart.

"You have to go to the commune to buy the mattress and mosquito net." He regretted it the moment he said it. What a waste of words.

Liang Su nodded slightly, "I know, thank you, I can handle it."

She has to do it even if she can't, because she has no way out.

Just as Shen Congji was about to turn around and leave, he heard a series of shouts coming from far away.

Liang Su looked back and saw two middle-aged women.

One of them actually looks somewhat similar to Shen Congji, and was definitely a beauty when she was young.

"Aji, why did I hear that you brought your partner back?" Shen Limei asked anxiously.

When he saw Liang Su inside, he was amazed. What a beautiful lesbian.

But no matter how iconic it is, it's impossible with Aji.

The other woman also looked at Liang Su. She was indeed good-looking, and thought that her daughter had little chance of winning against Liang Su.

Shen Congji quickly explained: "Mom, Aunt Qiaoying, this is the educated youth from the city, Comrade Liang Su."

Zhang Qiaoying was surprised and asked, "What? Educated youth from the city?"

Liang Su nodded generously, "Hello, aunts. My name is Liang Su."

Shen Limei felt relieved, as long as he wasn't her boyfriend.

"Kid, why are you alone?"

Liang Su smiled and said, "At this time, probably no one would apply to go to the countryside."

Zhang Qiaoying asked bluntly, "Then what are you doing here? Aren't your parents worried about you?"

When it comes to his privacy, Liang Su just smiled and shook his head, not intending to say more.

Zhang Qiaoying looked at her secretly. For a moment, she couldn't be sure whether there was any relationship between her and Shen Congji, so she wanted to test it out.

"Aji, come to Aunt Qiaoying's house for dinner tonight!"

Shen Limei smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? There's food at home. It's not easy for you to come back. I'll kill a chicken later."

Zhang Qiaoying deliberately raised her voice: "Aji and Qianqian haven't seen each other for so long. Now that they've finally come back, it's time to cultivate their relationship. If you ask me, it would be best if we could set a date for the wedding this time. Aji is now the deputy regiment commander, and after we get married, Qianqian can still stay with the army. How great is that."

Liang Su was surprised to find out that Shen Congji was already engaged.

But come to think of it, I heard from Jin Yuanxiu that he is 26 years old this year. For a gay man who is not married at this age, it is actually late.

Liang Su didn't know what was going on. When he suddenly heard about this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Shen Limei was naturally happy to see her son get married, and nodded with a smile, "Of course it's good."

Shen Congji did not respond.

He knew he should nod. After all, this was a child marriage, and both families had tacitly agreed to the marriage for so many years. He had no reason to refuse.

But I just can’t click on this end.

"Comrade Liang Su, right? Oh, I call you Liang Su. Do you want to come to my house for dinner? I see that you haven't finished your meal yet. Why don't you come to my house for a simple meal?" Zhang Qiaoying invited warmly.

Because she suddenly thought of her younger brother from her mother's side who had just lost his wife and had two children, and the family needed a woman.

She disliked her brother's previous wife's family because she had too many things to do, so she made up her mind to find a new one for her brother, one with less trouble, preferably one who didn't have her parents around.

Although the city is not far away, at least my parents are not around and I have no one to support me.

Zhang Qiaoying thought about it for a while and started to think about Liang Su.

Liang Su shook his head. "Thank you, Aunt Qiaoying, but no thanks. I still have to clean up the house."

Zhang Qiaoying was a little disappointed, but she didn't force it, as there was still a long way to go.

"Limei, take Aji home quickly."

Shen Limei nodded repeatedly and pulled Shen Congji home.

Shen Congji hadn't been home for two years. Now that she finally had a vacation, she missed him terribly.

The mother and son talked and went home.

Liang Su glanced at his back and quickly looked away.

She glanced around the room and decided that she had to go to the commune to buy things first, otherwise it would be a problem to sleep at night.

Liang Su had no choice but to leave his luggage here temporarily and returned to the town supply and marketing cooperative with the money.

I bought a mattress, quilt, bed cover, pillow, mosquito net, candles, and some daily necessities.

In addition, she also bought some food that can be eaten directly.

There was no firewood at the educated youth camp, so if she wanted to start a fire, she had to go to the mountains to collect firewood. It was not something that could be solved in a short time, so it was better to eat ready-made firewood.

After buying things, I spent almost twenty yuan.

She paid without blinking and took the things back.

She walked and stopped many times in the short one kilometer distance, sweating profusely as she carried the things.

I thought it would be really inconvenient without a bicycle.

But in her current situation, spending money to buy a bicycle is too extravagant. She can't bear it and decides to walk.

After finally returning to the educated youth site, Liang Su reluctantly wiped a low stool clean and sat down.

She stared at the room she had opened with a gloomy look. When she thought that there might be centipedes hiding inside, she didn't want to go in at all.
