Qian Mao looked at the little boy in front of him. It is said that poor children learn to be independent early. Now, this little brother, who is a year younger than Duo Duo, is already worrying about his sister's affairs.
Qian Mao said, "Your sister has come a long way. If she loses this job, won't she be heartbroken?"
Wen Yuzhu paused for a moment and said, "I talked to her about this. Although she was smiling at the time, I could feel her sadness and reluctance. But for the sake of a happy life in the future, some things have to be given up."
My original father didn't really like my sister. He only kept her around to take care of the family and hoped she would earn some money for a dowry. But even though she's been here for so long, she's never even come to visit my aunt, which shows he doesn't care about her at all.
Qian Mao nodded and said, "You're not very old, but you think a lot."
Wen Yuzhu smiled bitterly: "I wouldn't have thought about this much originally, but life forces me to think more and think further ahead. I need to climb to a higher position in order to protect myself and my sister."
Qian Mao nodded: "Well done, then you'd better keep up the good work!"
Wen Yuzhu smiled, as if she had received a great affirmation, as if she were being treated as an adult.
Jin Jinxiu and He Ying exchanged a glance. Jin Jinxiu said, "Yu Gui, the fact that Lao Si brought you back shows that he really likes you. We also inquired a little about your family situation."
Although Wen Yugui's expression changed slightly, she still politely refrained from interrupting.
Jin Jinxiu continued, "Every family has its own troubles. We haven't experienced your hardships, so we won't comment on your family's affairs. My first impression of you here is very good."
Wen Yugui's expression softened. She glanced furtively at Qian Rao beside her and noticed that he had also winked at her. Her previously tense heart seemed to calm down instantly.
Jin Jinxiu naturally noticed the interaction between the young couple. She felt a bit disgusted with her silly son and didn't want him anymore, so she gave him away.
Qian Sheng said, "Young lady, now that you're here, we've gotten to know each other, and we all have a good impression of you. But marriage isn't about making enemies. Do you think your parents will just leave you to fend for yourself?"
When asked about this, Wen Yugui and Wen Yuzhu exchanged a glance and said, "Uncle Qian, Qian Rao and I like each other. I can't deny my family because I also experienced the warmth of family when my mother was alive."
But ever since my stepmother came into the family, my brother and I have lived in misery. She couldn't tolerate my brother, so my aunt took him away. She wanted to use me to exchange for dowry money, but I refused.
So I begged the old Party Secretary to let me have my household registration separated. Now I'm all set for myself, so I hope to form a family with Qian Rao. Maybe my dad will remember me, but as long as he can't find me, he'll slowly forget about me.
Just like how I've been away from that home for so long, and he hasn't even looked for me, because he has a beautiful wife and young children now, so naturally, we burdens are best left as far away as possible.
Qian Sheng listened to Wen Yugui's words and fell silent.
He Ying smiled and said, "Yu Gui, we just want to know what will happen if your parents find you and make some unreasonable demands on our family?"
Qian Duoduo looked at Wen Yugui, also curious about the answer.
Wen Yugui stood up, bowed to Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu, and said, "Uncle Qian, Aunt Qian, I like Qian Rao very much, which is why I came to Beian Village. It is said that a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation. I feel that Qian Rao is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I cannot choose my family, but I want to choose my future life."
As soon as she finished speaking, applause rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Duoduo smiling as she said, "I think Sister Yu Gui's last sentence was really good. You can't choose your family of origin, but you can still choose your future life. That's great!" She then gave Wen Yu Gui a thumbs up.
The family couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
Wen Yugui felt a little embarrassed after Qian Duoduo said that: "If I marry Qian Rao, I plan to sell my job as a dishwasher at the restaurant and use the money as my dowry."
The Qian family was surprised by Wen Yugui's words. Jin Jinxiu said, "Yugui, you didn't get this job easily!"
Wen Yugui said, “Working in the county town also carries certain risks. After all, my aunt lives there. If my father comes here, we are very likely to run into each other. Here, I just need to follow Qian Rao to the fields to earn work points.”
Jin Jinxiu asked, "Is that what you think?"
Wen Yugui nodded: "Aunt Qian, Qian Rao has told me about your family's situation. Your eldest and second brothers are serving in the army, so it would be a bit difficult for you two to follow them. Your third brother works in the county committee, so he will definitely be very busy in the future. Qian Rao and I are the fourth children, so we will take care of you two in your old age."
Qian Sheng was surprised that this young girl would say such a thing. He smiled and said, "We are not old yet, we can still work, so there is no rush to retire."
Qian Duoduo saw in Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu's eyes that Wen Yugui's words had indeed struck a chord with the old couple. She was right. It was somewhat impossible for the eldest and second brothers to take care of their parents in their old age. The third brother, let alone taking care of his parents in their old age, didn't even have a partner yet. It could only be said that this young girl had found out the old couple's mentality through her various observations after entering the house.
