Liu Hua thought about it and realized that this was the case.
Xu Manman continued. "Look at Liu Xiaoya, on the other hand. Everyone in the village who knows her says she's capable and a good person, but..."
Xu Manman changed the subject, "But her tragedy today was caused by her weakness. If she had been as capable as Wang Cuihua, even if her marriage wasn't going as planned, at least her situation wouldn't be so bad, right?"
Liu Hua was pulled into a whole new perspective. It was true that what Manman said made sense, but, "If it weren't for her family, she wouldn't be like this now."
Xu Manman agreed with this point, "Yes! His family is very hateful and can manipulate Liu Xiaoya's life at will. However, the village has a women's director and the commune has a women's federation to protect the rights of women.
National laws prohibit human trafficking and also stipulate that marriage is free and outsiders cannot interfere.
If Liu Xiaoya had stood up for herself, stood up to her family, and sought help from the village, the Women's Federation, or the police, she wouldn't have been married off like this."
Liu Hua understood and was shocked. Yes, if she stood up by herself, it would not be like this at all.
"So, there's always something hateful about pitiful people." Then, she added a bit of personal sentiment, "When choosing a man, you must open your eyes. You should not only look at the man himself, but also his family. After all, marriage is not just a simple union of two people."
Liu Hua nodded in agreement, but didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Xu Manman was still talking about the Liu and Wang families.
The two of them kept chatting until class was almost about to start. Today was Xu Manman's class.
Perhaps because they were shocked by what happened in the morning, everyone was not in a good state of mind in class today. Even the active participants in the past were a little absent-minded.
After finally getting through two hours, the people in the classroom didn't disperse like they did yesterday. Instead, they became excited and stayed to share the latest news with those around them.
Xu Manman had already heard the whole process from Liu Hua. She was not very interested in some of the details that contained a lot of dirty words. She did not stay in the classroom and went straight back to the educated youth point after class.
Chen Ming came back earlier today than usual, and Xu Manman was helpless. She was not a child, so there was no need to watch her so closely.
But at night Xu Manman still shared what he heard today with his cousin.
Chen Ming glanced at her coldly, and Xu Manman immediately confessed, "I didn't join in the fun. It was Liu Hua who told me after seeing it. I didn't go anywhere today except for the literacy class."
Chen Ming's expression softened after hearing this. "It's not that I don't allow you to go out, I'm just worried that you might get bumped into by the crowds."
"I know you're doing this for my own good. Don't worry, cousin. If anything really happens, I'll be the first one to turn around and run back. I won't be the first one to do it."
Then he began to share his views with her, "The Wang family is really domineering, but the Liu family girl is also not strong enough."
Chen Ming looked at her in surprise, "How could you think like that?" Don't people usually sympathize with the weak?
Xu Manman repeated the theory she had previously told Liu Hua.
Chen Ming nodded repeatedly after hearing this. As a young man of the new era who had graduated from high school and received legal education, he accepted this theory well.
"I'm very happy that Manman thought of this. You must remember, no matter what happens, protect yourself first. Nothing is more important than your life."
No matter how many friends he makes here, his cousin will always be his first priority, and nothing is more important than his cousin's safety.
(Liu Hua also graduated from high school, but she was a poor student... and the concepts girls were taught from a young age are different from those boys.)
"It's almost the third month of the lunar calendar. Is spring plowing about to start soon?" After hibernating for so long, Xu Manman almost forgot what it felt like to go to work.
Chen Ming calculated the date. "Last year, it started in early April on the Gregorian calendar, so it should be about half a month away."
"Don't you have any food over there?" When Chen Ming came over, he brought several large bags of food. If she was right, he should have brought all his rations over.
Knowing what his cousin was thinking, he said, "I have more, don't worry, just put them here and eat them." His appetite has increased, and he eats a lot every day. The food he has may not be enough, so his cousin must have added her food.
Seeing Xu Manman wanted to say something, Chen Ming continued, "Don't worry, your cousin won't let you go hungry."
