An unwilling marriage is like a thorn; entering marriage unknowingly can sow the seeds of future regret.
Gui Xiang had a change of heart and started to persuade Liu Ping's mother instead.
After learning that the other families were not trying to curry favor with the Liu family, nor were they obsessed with their daughter, Liu's mother left feeling lost and melancholy.
Seeing her daughter leaning against the window, lost in thought, Liu's mother felt heartbroken.
"Mom, did you go to Ershun's house?"
Liu Ping suddenly spoke up. She was a smart and quick-witted girl, and during this time she had actually felt her parents' affection for her.
“Pingping…”
"Mom, I'm not that sad now. I only fell for Ershun because he saved my life. I even coaxed him. He doesn't understand any of that. I knew you wouldn't agree, but I liked him so much back then that I wanted him all at once."
Liu Ping spoke slowly.
"Er Shun treats me like a friend and a younger sister. His family is very nice. Mom, my teacher said my paintings are very good. If I can go abroad, I might achieve even greater success in the future."
Liu Ping suddenly changed the subject, and Liu's mother, who was still thinking about how to persuade her daughter, was stunned.
My daughter has never had any intention of going abroad, so why is she suddenly...?
"I recently painted a few pictures and showed them to my teacher. My teacher helped me submit them to a competition, and the chances of winning are very high. If I do win, the prize money will be enough to support my studies abroad."
"Pingping, if you really like it..."
"Mom, don't force it. You can't force things."
Liu Ping interrupted her mother, her eyes resolute, indicating that the decision to go abroad was definitely not made in a day or two.
Liu Ping started eating properly. When the news of her award came down, Liu Ping took out her favorite dress from the closet and put it on before going to the suburbs to see Er Shun again.
"Er Shun, I promised you pea cake but haven't brought it yet. I brought it this time."
"Pingping, you look beautiful today. Thank you for the pea cake. It's a pity the watermelon isn't ripe yet, otherwise I could have treated you to some."
Er Shun accepted the pea cake with a smile, wondering what he could give back.
"Brother Ershun, thank you."
"You gave me something and thanked me. How about I take you to see my pigs? They're so cute and clean."
Er Shun extended an invitation, and Liu Ping nodded.
Ershun washed the chubby pigs very clean. He jumped into the pigpen, picked out the smallest one, and handed it to Liu Ping.
"Would you like to try hugging it? It doesn't bite."
Liu Ping looked at the heavy little pig, reached out and took it. The little pig grunted and grunted, and indeed it didn't bite; it was very docile.
"Brother Ershun, the pigs you raise are just as lovable as you."
Liu Ping stroked the little pig in her arms without the slightest disgust, but unfortunately she was not strong enough to hold it for long.
Er Shun took the pig back, put the piglets back in the pigpen, and gave them some more food.
"Brother Ershun, I'm going abroad. I don't know when we'll see each other again. Can you take a picture with me?"
"Shall we go to a photo studio?"
Ershun still knew where the photos were taken.
"No need, I brought a camera and a shirt for you. You can change into it and we can take a picture."
Liu Ping took out the clothes, and Er Shun put on the shirt. With the melon field and blue sky as the background, Liu Ping set the time and quickly walked to Er Shun's side. The camera clicked.
Liu Ping looked at the photos in the camera; one was enough.
