Chapter 6: The Toad Wants to Eat the Swan Flesh (VI)
"Yaoyao, do you still feel uncomfortable? You must not hide it from mom."
Zhang Qiufeng was extremely worried when she saw that she actually refused to eat.
From childhood to adulthood, if she didn't eat well, she would definitely be sick.
As he said that, he reached out to touch her forehead, but Ye Yao immediately dodged.
"Mom, I don't have a fever. I've made up my mind. I want to lose weight."
This is an urgent matter.
Zhang Qiufeng: …
What nonsense is this child talking about!
"Mom, look at me now. I can't walk a few steps without panting. I feel smelly when I wake up from a nap. If I don't lose weight, I'm afraid I'll be sick soon."
Ye Yao's expression became serious.
She is definitely not exaggerating. Image is important, but health is more important.
Zhang Qiufeng stared at her blankly, as if she was stupid.
"Actually, you're not that fat..."
Ye Yao almost said, "Don't you feel guilty saying such things?"
Her weight was estimated to be over 200 kilograms, but her height was less than 1.7 meters. If this was not considered fat, then what was? ! Zhang Qiufeng blushed, coughed dryly, and felt a little guilty.
"Yaoyao, mom doesn't dislike you, and being a little fat is a blessing. You have loved eating since you were a child. Mom can't give you any delicious food, so the only thing I can do is to fill your stomach."
"You don't dislike me, but I dislike myself."
Ye Yao told the truth that she had thought a lot in the past two days. She wanted to change the current situation, both for herself and her family's living conditions.
Although there was a shortage of food and clothing in that era and their family was penniless, everything would be fine as long as she was there.
Zhang Qiufeng looked surprised. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Ye Yao was different now.
In the past, she had never talked about losing weight.
"Yaoyao, you really don't want to eat anymore?"
Ye Yao nodded firmly.
Zhang Qiufeng also immediately put down her chopsticks, her eyes flickering, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Um... Yaoyao, Mom wants to... tell you about your marriage to Li Cheng..."
These days, there was a lot of gossip in the compound, and so many people were pointing fingers at them behind their backs that she couldn't even raise her head when she went out.
Originally this was a happy event, but people had to know their own limitations. Their family and the Li family were really not a good match.
She had never thought of marrying up, but this girl just did such an "earth-shattering" thing.
"What do you want to say?"
Ye Yao straightened his body. Although he was still a mess, he looked more serious and earnest instantly.
Zhang Qiufeng took a deep breath, observing her reaction, and said, "Although you two were engaged since childhood, it has been so many years, and many things have changed. I think..."
She paused for a moment and said in a serious tone, "Should we cancel this marriage?"
The Li family is a wealthy and prominent family. They have no worries about food and clothing and are respected by others. Li Cheng is the most promising child in the compound. Many families would like to have a relationship with the Li family, but this is also what worries Zhang Qiufeng the most.
Ye Yao is not only not good-looking, but also a little fat, timid, irresponsible, and has no abilities or skills. He is just an ordinary child.
If she really married, how could she adapt to such an environment? She would definitely be ostracized!
Compared with a wealthy life, Zhang Qiufeng would rather she find an ordinary family and live an ordinary life, even if they are poor or ugly.
