Uncle Lu was somewhat helpless and said, "I stopped her, but she said she was buying it for herself. How could I stop her from buying it? Okay, I'll talk to the third brother and ask him to talk more about this child in the future."

Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt's face changed: "Are you old and confused? If you say that, he will have an excuse not to give Jiaxin money, and that vicious woman will get the money in the future. Forget it, I'd better find a chance to talk to Jiaxin!"

Uncle Lu stopped her from saying, "Jia Xin has a bad temper now. If you say anything to her, she might just turn around and walk away. You don't have to worry. She spends money lavishly now because she doesn't know how hard it is to make money. When she starts working in the future, she will know how hard it is to make money and will naturally be frugal."

My aunt thought that what he said made sense, but she still had to say it.

At the same time, Xiaoqiu was also persuading Lu Jiaxin: "Aunt, I know you love us, but please don't spend so much money in the future."

Thinking about her aunt's hesitation when she saw the things she bought, Lu Jiaxin reflected on herself: "I didn't think it through. Next time I buy something, I'll buy something practical."

The main reason is that she doesn't make any money now, and everyone is worried about her extravagant spending. When she makes money in the future, no matter how much she spends, they won't say anything.

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Xiao Qiu felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had eaten a lot of these snacks. "Aunt, will you go back to school after the bad guys are caught?"

Lu Jiaxin said that she was very weak and needed to rest for at least half a year before she could go back to school. She would definitely take the college entrance exam, but she had to make money first to get rid of Lu Hongjun's control.

Xiao Qiu said with concern: "Aunt, why don't you stay here to recuperate. Here, that bad woman can't hurt you."

Five years ago, my aunt had a round face and fair skin, and everyone said she looked like a doll in a New Year picture. But now she looks pale and very thin.

"I'm moving out of the family compound now, and that woman won't be able to harm me in the future. Xiaoqiu, what do you think of what I said to you yesterday?"

Xiao Qiu shook her head and said, "Aunt, I don't want to go out. I don't know anyone outside. I have grandparents, parents, and my brother at home. If I'm bullied by my in-laws, they can support me."

Lu Jiaxin felt helpless. Nowadays, children in rural areas get married early, so they mature early. In her previous life, she was fifteen years old and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiaoqiu said with some regret: "I am too stupid to learn. Zaohua is smart and always gets first place in the exam. She was admitted to the best high school in our county this year. It's a pity that Uncle Gen died in an accident, so she can't continue her studies."

After asking, Lu Jiaxin found out that Zaohua was sixteen years old this year and had been at the top of her class since she started studying. With her grades, she would definitely be able to get into university. If she got into university, she would be assigned a job by the government and would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

It was the same, everyone said that a golden phoenix would fly out of her family. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on her. Her father fell and injured himself in July. The family spent all their savings and failed to save him. The family fell into hardship and had no money to support her to continue her studies.

Xiao Qiu said regretfully: "Grandpa also tried to persuade Aunt Gen to continue to support Zaohua's studies. It would only be three years of hardship, and everything would be fine once Zaohua was admitted to university. But Aunt Gen said that she couldn't support the family, and her two sons were still young. If Zaohua continued to study, the family would not be able to survive."

Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything.

Xiaoqiu said, "Aunt, you don't know that many people in the village envy Xiaodong and me."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Xiao Qiu, it doesn't matter if you don't go out, but you must learn a skill. With a skill, men won't dare to bully you when you get married in the future."

If the man is still bullying her, then they should break up. With her skills, she can still support herself and her children after divorce. Of course, she would not say this, because Xiaoqiu is still young and it is too unlucky.

Xiao Qiu was a little tempted, but she didn't dare to say: "My eldest brother and second brother haven't learned the craft. If I bring it up, my two sisters-in-law might have objections."

Hearing her concerns, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "As long as your mother supports it, don't worry about what your sister-in-law thinks."

After dark, the four teams that went out came back one after another, but none of them got any useful information. They were a little depressed, but when they found out that the old woman was from Xixiang, they instantly became energetic.

The next day, Uncle Lu took Second Brother Lu and Lu Jiajie to Xixiang to inquire about the news. Lu Jiaxin wanted to go too, but Uncle Lu refused, saying that it was too far and she couldn't stand it.

Lu Jiaxin thought about her physical condition and had to give up. After dinner, she had nothing to do, so she said to Xiaoqiu, "I want to meet Zaohua. Can you take me to find her?"

It's a pity for her to drop out of school with such good grades. A semester in a high school in a small county town probably costs only two or three yuan. If this girl has her own opinion and knows how to resist, she can help. If she is weak and foolish, forget it, don't waste your energy.

Xiaoqiu agreed without thinking too much.

Unfortunately, Zaohua went to her grandmother's house early in the morning. Her neighbor shook his head and said, "This girl went to her grandmother's house to see her."

Lu Jiaxin's eyes almost popped out of her head. She remembered Xiaoqiu saying that Zaohua was one year older than her. Getting married at the age of sixteen was not normal.

The neighbor said, "I heard that he is the son of the commune secretary. If this goes through, the family will not only give a high betrothal gift, but also promise to arrange a job for Zaohua's eldest brother."

Lu Jiaxin felt upset. In many places in the Flower Growing Family, boys are favored over girls. The most ridiculous thing is that mothers usually value their sons more and despise their daughters.

Xiaoqiu and Zaohua were in the same class in elementary school, but they were in different classes in junior high school, but they went to school together, so they were very close. She asked, "Will Zaohua be willing?"

The neighbor sighed and said, "If he didn't want to, he wouldn't have gone to see the girl today. If he had chosen someone, the marriage would probably be at the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

Xiao Qiu frowned and said, "That's impossible. Girls in our village all get married at the age of eighteen, and Zaohua is only sixteen."

Lu Jiaxin thought that Zaohua's mother wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible so that her son could go to work in Chengli soon. But if the marriage really happened, how could Zaohua have any status in the man's family? She would never be able to hold her head up after marrying him, and would be a slave to the man's family.
