If I leave her alone, I won't be able to justify it if something happens to her here.
He said, "How about I call Grandpa Liang and ask him to find a way to get you back?"
Liang Weiwei shook her head: "I'm not going back. I just want to stay with you."
Zhang Qiang left helplessly.
He shook his head and went back to his room.
After watching the commotion, Huo Jianshe returned home and told Li Xiangyun and the others everything that had happened.
Li Xiangyun: "Meng Zhenzhen is really courting death. I didn't expect her to still get involved with Li Dawang. Now, Li Dawang's family is going to have a hard time."
Then she added with a smile, "Quickly tell your third sister-in-law this good news; she loves hearing exciting stories."
Huo Jianshe nodded, chuckled, and walked away.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, something good just happened in the village."
Yun Ningyan asked curiously, "What good news? Tell me quickly."
Huo Jianshe chuckled foolishly: "Third Sister-in-law, I'd like to have dinner here tonight."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Eat whatever you want."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Yun Ningyan was getting a little tired of staying at home every day and wanted to hear what good news Huo Jianshe had to say.
Huo Jianshe wanted some more benefits, but he saw his third brother glaring at him.
He swallowed hard and hurriedly began to speak: "Today, Meng Zhenzhen went to the river to wash clothes with those other female educated youths!"
"I don't know how it happened, but I fell in and was rescued by Li Dawang and Wang Dachuan."
The two people are getting married tomorrow.
Yun Ningyan asked in confusion, "Can you explain clearly who is going to marry whom?"
Huo Jianshe: "Zhang Hongmei married Wang Dachuan, and Meng Zhenzhen married Li Dawang."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Come to think of it, Meng Zhenzhen and Li Dawang are quite destined for each other, but Meng Zhenzhen really deserves it! She definitely didn't want to, right?"
Huo Jianshe ate one peach and then reached for a second one.
Huo Junshan raised his hand and slapped his hand away.
"Speak quickly."
Huo Jianshe!
Third Brother really only wants Third Sister-in-law, not him, the Fifth Brother!
"There's nothing we can do if Meng Zhenzhen disagrees. Many people in the village say that if she doesn't marry Li Dawang, she's not a virtuous woman."
“My uncle also said that she should get married; this is the old custom, and it cannot be broken.”
"In the end, Zhang Hongmei agreed, and Meng Zhenzhen had no choice but to agree as well."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "This is really a good thing! Meng Zhenzhen is now married to Huo Junshan and Teacher Xiao. She can just obediently marry Li Dawang!"
Huo Junshan nodded: "That's perfect. Aunt Li will keep a close eye on her, so she won't be able to cause us any trouble in the future."
Yun Ningyan smiled; she felt that Meng Zhenzhen was very real and deserved her punishment.
Having failed to outmaneuver Huo Junshan, he turned his attention to scheming against Teacher Xiao.
This time, he and Li Dawang became a couple again.
However, she was a little worried that she might run away or complain to the authorities because she didn't want to get married.
However, upon closer reflection, she realized she probably wouldn't dare, given that her food rations depended on this.
There's nowhere to run away; she's afraid someone will suggest she appeal to higher authorities.
Actually, this custom is a bad habit, and it will gradually disappear in the future.
But she won't say that now.
She also wanted to see how Meng Zhenzhen would live a "good life" in the future!
However, it's a bit pitiful for Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Hongmei was an honest and hardworking educated youth. She married Wang Dachuan and hoped that things would go well for her.
This is a problem of our times, and there's nothing we can do about it.
She could control Zhang Hongmei, but not Li Hongmei or Wang Hongmei.
Huo Junshan, unaware of what she was thinking, asked, "Yanyan, what are you thinking about? That's how it is in the village. As long as both people agree, it's fine. That's how it is in other brigades."
Yun Ningyan smiled and asked him, "What if the person who saved you today was a married man? Does that mean he should divorce his wife and marry someone else?"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "No such thing has ever happened."
It's usually unmarried people who go to rescue people; married people tend to avoid it.
Yun Ningyan then asked, "What would you do if you encountered such a situation and there was no one else around?"
Huo Junshan: "I will still save them!"
Yun Ningyan: "What if she asks you to marry her and divorce me?"
Without hesitation, Huo Junshan said, "Then I'll throw her back in, as if I didn't save her at all."
"Pfft! Hahahaha, Huo Junshan, you're really something."
Even Huo Jianshe laughed along.
"Third brother, you're really something!"
Huo Jianshe clutched his stomach: "Third Brother, hurry up and cook! I'm starving!"
Yun Ningyan nodded, and Huo Junshan had no choice but to get up and cook.
Huo Jianshe, eager to get a free meal, quickly went to help start the fire.
After Huo Junshan finished cooking, Huo Jianshe couldn't wait to take a bite.
"It's delicious!"
After the three finished their meal, Huo Jianshe went back to the front.
Meng Zhenzhen and Zhang Hongmei, who were at the educated youth settlement, had no appetite.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't want to get married here; she wanted to go back to the city and find someone to marry.
But now.
Why!
She is already twenty-four years old.
If she doesn't get married soon, and stays here for a few more years, it will be difficult for her to have children.
Meng Zhenzhen was also very upset; she didn't like Li Dawang at all.
But if she doesn't get married now, people here will say she's not a virtuous woman.
I can't run away by myself, and without a letter of introduction, I can't go anywhere!
She turned to look at Zhang Hongmei and saw Zhang Hongmei there with tears in her eyes, knowing that Zhang Hongmei also did not want to get married.
He said, "Sister Hongmei, why don't we run away! Marrying into this place will only lead to a miserable life. We don't have Yun Ningyan's good luck!"
Zhang Hongmei stared at her in shock: "What did you say? Escape? Where can we run to? Without a letter of introduction, we'll just be arrested as bad guys."
"It's better to stay with this family and live here. Maybe there will be a chance to go back to the city in the future."
Meng Zhenzhen!
I didn't even dare to run!
Then why say you don't want to get married!
Forget it, she wouldn't dare to do it alone anyway. They're cracking down hard on people without proper identification these days, and once they're caught...
She wouldn't dare take the risk of treating everything as a violation of laws and regulations.
But she was unwilling to marry Li Dawang!
She was destined to be a rich wife, but if she married Li Dawang, she would never have a chance to rise in society.
She was starting to resent Li Dawang for saving her; wouldn't it have been better to just let her die?
I'm getting married tomorrow, and I don't even have a chance to find a way to get ahead.
She shook her head, went straight to bed to rest, and didn't even want to eat.
Hopefully, her future won't be like Song Pandi's life at Aunt Ma's house!
Yu Lili saw Zhang Hongmei standing there, seemingly lost in thought, and offered her some words of advice.
"Sister Hongmei, don't think so much, eat something! You've worked all day, how can your body take it if you don't eat anything?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head: "I don't want to eat, you guys eat! I can't eat!"
Yu Lili sighed.
Sigh! Anyone would find it hard to accept this situation at first!
