"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, Ye Jin frowned, and bad thoughts came to her mind.
Is Wang Fengqin really so arrogant that she started taking action right after she came back?
Ye Jin didn't want to pay attention, but the knocking on the door became more and more urgent. She picked up a stick and walked out slowly.
As she moved, the small bottle in her right trouser pocket became visible and faintly visible, which was the confidence that gave her the courage to confront Wang Fengqin.
Ye Jin opened the door carefully, and a dark shadow flashed in like a gust of wind. Ye Jin quickly stepped aside.
"Jinjin, you're back, you're finally back."
A dark and thin little girl pulled Ye Jin into her arms and hugged her tightly.
The person who came was called Ye Xiaoli, Ye Jin's best friend. They grew up together and went to the same school.
Ye Jin had excellent grades when she was a child and was often praised by her teachers in class. Because she was beautiful, her classmates also liked to get along with her.
Ye Xiaoli is not only dark and thin, but also has poor academic performance. Coupled with her low self-esteem, she is often bullied.
Ye Jin didn't care at all and took the initiative to approach her and make friends with her.
Ye Jin has many friends, but Ye Xiaoli only has her as a friend.
Later, Ye Jin's mother died and her stepmother Wang Fengqin came into the house. Ye Jin was often abused and her temperament gradually became silent and cold.
The other friends all said that she was a motherless child, looked down on her and alienated her, but Ye Xiaoli was the only one who always stayed by her side.
"Xiao Li, I'm back." Ye Jin leaned on Ye Xiaoli's shoulder, and his cold heart was warmed up little by little.
It turns out that she is not completely without anything. She has a friend who always stays by her side.
But this girl was too honest, and her life at home was not easy. Her parents looked down on her, and her brothers and sisters bullied her.
Before long, his father would sell her to an old bachelor from the next village to give to his brother in exchange for the bride price.
The old bachelor is old and ugly, with a very bad temper, even a little perverted. He has been single for so many years, and after spending all his wealth to marry a wife, he naturally tries his best to make her happy.
A few years after Ye Xiaoli married him, she was tortured to the point of being emaciated and insane. Later, it was heard that she disappeared after giving birth to a child.
Ye Jin originally wanted to go find her, but at that time, she was already in a difficult situation and had to watch her good sister suffer without being able to help. Her heart still aches when she thinks about it now.
The two hugged each other tightly for a long time before Ye Xiaoli suddenly remembered that she had not had time to check whether Ye Jin's eyes had become blind.
"Let me see your eyes. Are they still as beautiful as before?"
Ye Xiaoli held Ye Jin's face with both hands, and the two were very close to each other. Ye Jin also took the opportunity to take a good look at this good friend.
When Ye Jin got closer, he found that although Ye Xiaoli's skin was a little dark, her facial features were small and delicate. If she ate some nutritious food, nourished her body well, and whitened her skin a little, she would also be a beauty.
"Let me see your little face too. Is it still as attractive as before?"
Ye Jin smiled and pinched Ye Xiaoli's chin. They smiled at each other and held each other's hands tightly.
"That's great. Your eyes are still good and as beautiful as before. I like your big watery eyes. They are even more beautiful when you smile. Unlike me, I am just an ugly duckling in front of you."
Ye Xiaoli laughed at herself, her expression showing envy but not the slightest jealousy.
"Silly girl, you are also very beautiful. As long as you whiten your skin, you will be no worse than me. I don't know why you have such low self-esteem."
Ye Xiaoli kept shaking her head: "No, no, my mother said that I have small eyes and dark skin, I am ugly, and I might not be able to get married in the future."
The ideas instilled in Ye Xiaoli by her parents since childhood made her feel particularly inferior.
Her own parents look down on her and make sarcastic remarks to her every day. After a long time, even if she has a strong heart, she will gradually doubt herself.
Ye Xiaoli has now completely lost her self-confidence. She thinks everything about others is good, but she is dissatisfied with everything about herself.
"Your mother is talking nonsense. If you believe her, she will definitely marry you off to an old bachelor from the mountains. She will torture and abuse you every day, making your life worse than death."
"No way, even though my parents don't like me, they probably wouldn't treat me like this."
Ye Xiaoli has always believed what Ye Jin said, but she also feels that her family members will not harm her.
"I'm already 18 years old. You and I are the same age, and you'll be 18 in a few days. Maybe your father is already arranging your marriage."
Ye Jin seemed to be joking, but in fact he had already introduced the main topic.
"No, I told my mom before that I don't want to get married so early. I don't think she will force me."
Ye Xiaoli was still as naive as before, so Ye Jin had no choice but to guide her patiently.
"You have two older brothers, right? If I remember correctly, your eldest brother is 26 years old and still single. Your second brother is 24 years old and is currently dating someone."
"Yes, yes, yes. Jinjin is such a great student. She really has a good memory. Not only does she remember everything about me, she also remembers everything about my family."
"Your eldest and second brothers need money to get married, right? Given your family's financial situation, can your parents afford it?"
Ye Jin's soul-searching questions left Ye Xiaoli completely confused.
"It seems that I really can't take it out, but..."
Although Ye Xiaoli is honest, she is not a fool. The eldest sister has a strong personality and no one dares to make decisions for her.
My younger sister is spoiled by the whole family. If my parents really want to choose a daughter to give to her two brothers in exchange for the bride price, it will definitely be her.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to scare you. I just want you to be more careful. If your parents want to introduce you to someone, they must ask about the situation clearly before letting the man visit you.
Oh, forget it, the people your parents introduced to you are probably just trying to get the bride price, they are definitely not reliable, you should find a partner on your own in the future, but you must let me be your advisor."
Ye Jin took Ye Xiaoli's hand and winked at her mischievously.
Ye Xiaoli chuckled, but her expression soon changed drastically and she started crying in anxiety.
"Oh no, oh no, I remember now. My dad told me yesterday that he would take me to the neighboring village to meet someone. Could he be introducing me to someone?"
"Don't worry, go back and find out which village it is. I heard that in Zhangjia Village next door, there are several old bachelors in their fifties and sixties who still haven't married. These old men either smoke and drink, or are addicted to gambling, or have such bad tempers that they even beat my mother. In short, none of them are easy to get along with. You must avoid this village."
Ye Jin said this seemingly unintentionally, and Ye Xiaoli was frightened and cried even harder.
"My dad said he wants to take me to Zhangjia Village. What should I do?"
