Just after sending the two of them away, the people she sent out to monitor the Xia family came back, leaving her no chance to even think. Before she could finish thinking about this matter, something else happened over there.
There were too many things to do, and she didn't have time until she went to bed to think about the Chen Xin incident. In fact, this matter was nothing special. The other person's parents agreed to it, and it was just their family members. What could happen?
So she fell asleep like this. When she was eating in the morning, she said to Gu Jingmo with emotion: "Oh, my deskmate asked for leave. There is no one to play with me. It's so sad."
——
Chen Xin was woken up early in the morning by the sound of the door opening. The man standing at the door looked at her and said happily: "Come to dinner when you wake up. Tell me why you ran away. Your grandma found a good family for you, but you don't want to go."
"I told you that if someone likes you, you should just do it secretly. What's the point of going to school? You're just a little girl, and your parents treat you like a treasure."
When Chen Xin heard her words, she came to her senses completely. She stood up and wanted to run, but before she could reach the door, the man put down his things and closed the door.
Chen Xin ran over and knocked on the door, but it wouldn't open no matter how hard she tried. Looking at the food on the ground and the words she said before she left, she squatted down, hugged herself and started crying.
He didn't want to get married at all. His grandmother was a nephew of his third uncle. He had a pointed face and a mouth full of yellow teeth. He was twenty years old and still had no job. He relied on his family to support him.
If she really married him, she would rather die. But now no one could come to save him, and she knew that her parents would not doubt her once they heard she was here.
Although she knew that it was very likely that no one would come to save her, she still prayed silently in her heart. After all, she couldn't marry such a person, and she still had to go to college.
She ate the food in the bowl while crying. Although her grandmother locked her up, she was not strict with her food. She wanted to eat more to see if she could find a chance to escape.
Originally, she followed her third aunt back to her grandmother's house to visit her grandmother. She felt very happy to see her grandmother, after all, they had not seen each other for a long time.
Although her grandmother was patriarchal, she was still good to her because of her father, and always saved good things for him.
It was evening when they arrived. Chen Xin sat at the table, eating the meal they had left for her and chatting with them. Grandma Chen looked at her and said with a smile:
"Xiao Xin is going to take an exam, right?"
Chen Xin nodded while eating and said, "Yes, we all agreed to go to Beijing for the exam."
Grandma Chen immediately said angrily: "Nonsense, why are you, a little girl, going so far? If I were to say, your parents are also nonsense. The most important thing for a girl now is to find a good family to marry."
"What's the point of going to school? You'll still have to get married in the end. The best time for a girl is now. If you wait until you finish school, no one will want you."
"You're still going to the capital? If it were you, I'd say you should just find a good family to marry into, and then take care of the housework at home while your husband earns money. That's the best."
Chen Xin was also a little angry when she heard her words and said: "Anyway, my parents support me. Besides, I don't want to get married so early. I have my own pursuits."
"If you want to find a partner, then there are some in college. We are about the same age and have the same ideals. We will definitely get along well."
When Grandma Chen heard her words, she became even angrier and said, "You don't have to wait that long. I've already found someone for you. Don't worry, he's definitely a very good person who will take good care of you."
"Grandma will never harm you. Girls can't study. You should get married while you are still young. Otherwise, when you are old, no one will want you to get married."
Hearing her words, Chen Xin said with a look of horror: "Grandma, do my parents know about this? They said that I should find someone I like when I go to college."
"Didn't you ask them? And do they have no idea that I came to your place today? No, I want to go home."
As he said this, he stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by his third aunt who was eating. One of them had been doing farm work for a long time, and the other was a student who had no motivation to do any work. The result was obvious.
Looking at her third aunt Chen Xin who was holding onto her, she said angrily, "Let me go! I want to go home. You are all liars. If you don't let go, I will definitely arrest you all when I get home."
"If you send me back now, I will pretend this never happened and I won't call the police to arrest you."
"Call the police. They dare to intervene in this matter. I have done nothing illegal in finding a husband for my own granddaughter. How dare they arrest me?"
"Besides, I'm your grandma, and your parents have to listen to me, so I have the final say on this matter. Besides, if you weren't my granddaughter, I wouldn't introduce such a good person to you."
"The betrothal gift they gave you was four great items. You just don't appreciate what you have. If we had so many things back then, we could have talked about it for the rest of our lives."
"I don't need these things. We have them at home, so we don't need theirs."
"Also, nowadays, everyone is equal and can love freely. Even our elders don't have the power to arrange marriages for us."
Aunt Chen San said angrily: "What a bullshit! We introduced the target to you because we think highly of you. If your father wasn't the factory director, maybe they wouldn't even think highly of you."
"You still want to call the police? If you have the guts, go ahead. By the time you're able to get out, the matter will already be settled. What are you going to do? Are you going to ignore your reputation and call the police?"
"Don't you think about your parents? So stop struggling and just be obedient. Regardless of whether you're obedient or not, this matter is non-negotiable."
"By the time your parents come, everything will have been done. Even if you don't want to, there's nothing you can do. Once you get married, you shouldn't go to school anymore. The real thing is to have a baby first."
"Their family has been a single-line family for three generations. They want a son. If they give birth to a daughter, they will abandon her and continue to have children until they give birth to a son."
Chen Xin was disgusted by their words and tried very hard to break free, but failed. Not only did he fail.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Grandma Chen locked her up in the room where she had lived before, and said that she would let her meet her future husband tomorrow to make her behave herself.
They will meet tomorrow and go to buy the betrothal gifts, and it will be just right for them to get married the day after tomorrow.
