Looking at her daughter's confused and painful expression, Aunt Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable.
If everything could go as one wishes, there wouldn't be so many worries.
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Zhao Xiaohua asked again, "Mom, tell me in front of Dad and my sister why you insist that I marry my uncle. If you don't explain it clearly, I will never marry you."
She wanted to know why, she really wanted to know. She couldn't let her whole life be wasted without knowing the reason.
Uncle Zhao put down his pipe, looked at his wife and said, "Mother, just tell me. I want to know, too."
Aunt Zhao was the one who made the decision on this marriage, and he was only informed of it.
Zhao Xiaocao also said weakly, "Mom, I want to know too."
The relationship between the two sisters Zhao Xiaocao and Zhao Xiaohua is quite good. The age difference between them is not too big. Basically, they have been doing everything together since they were young, so she can understand her sister's reluctance.
She doesn't like her grandmother's house, and she dislikes her uncle's family even more.
This cousin used to be so arrogant in front of them. In front of adults, he basically didn't say a word, but in private, when there were no adults around, her cousin always bullied them.
She complained to her aunt, but her aunt ignored her.
So when she knew her mother was going to marry her sister to her eldest cousin, she was very resistant. She couldn't understand why her mother would do such a thing.
Aunt Zhao felt uncomfortable with the whole family looking at her like this. It was as if she had done something unforgivable.
After a long pause, she pulled a stool over and sat down, looking at Zhao Xiaohua and said, "If there is a better choice, I don't want you to marry your uncle's family. Now there is no other way."
No one spoke, waiting for Aunt Zhao to continue.
"I believe you all know the situation in our family without me having to explain it. I didn't give birth to a son, and there are only you two sisters in the family. You two will get married in the future, so I definitely want to make arrangements for you two."
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhao was obviously a little unnatural.
There are only two daughters in their family, not because they don't want to have sons, but because they can't.
Not long after Xiaocao was born, he wanted to earn more money so he went to help someone put up the beams for a new house. As a result, he fell off the roof and was injured.
The external injury was not a big deal and he recovered in a short time. However, he also injured his reproductive organs. From then on, his body could no longer have children.
Only the couple knew about this matter. No one told anyone else.
Everyone thinks they are too old to have children.
This situation also occurs in the village. After a couple has one or two children, they can no longer get pregnant.
So, no one doubted it.
We stayed together like this for another ten years.
This is why Aunt Zhao has the final say in the family. Uncle Zhao felt guilty towards his wife and gave in willingly.
"Of course I know your grandma's family is not a good family, but that was before. The situation is different now."
"Your father and I will definitely die before you two. If you two sisters marry far away, it is very likely that you will never see each other again. In this world, if you are separated, how likely it is to meet again? You two know."
At this point, Aunt Zhao's mood seemed to be full of disappointment.
"But if Xiaohua marries her uncle, then Xiaocao can still go to her uncle's house no matter where she marries in the future. Moreover, your eldest cousin is in such a situation that he can't find a better one. If Xiaohua marries him and can give birth to a child, then he can control them in turn."
"Also, the Xiangyang Brigade has not had those cases of people being exterminated because the brigade leader is a good person. But the brigade leader is so old now, how many years can he still work? If he quits and another brigade leader takes over, will the Xiangyang Brigade still have the current atmosphere? If we are gone, you two sisters will be manipulated at will."
"Xiaohua married into her uncle's family, which means you two sisters have someone to back you up. With your uncle and aunt's temper, how can they watch outsiders bully their own family members?"
"In this marriage, it seems that Xiaohua will indeed suffer some injustice. But it may not be the case in the future." At this point, Aunt Zhao looked up at Xiaohua and continued, "I know your personality. You are the kind of person who is always bullied but doesn't say anything."
Although Aunt Zhao did not have a good life in her family because of her gender, she would rather give her things to her parents than have them taken away by outsiders.
She clearly felt that her health was getting worse day by day, especially during this autumn harvest, when she was so tired that she almost fainted.
She felt that she must be sick, but she didn't go to the hospital. There was no extra money at home to see a doctor.
She thought that she should quickly arrange the marriage between Xiaohua and Xiaocao while she was still healthy.
So, when her mother and sister-in-law told her that they wanted to get married, she thought about it for a moment and agreed.
It's not that she can't see what her mother and sister-in-law are thinking.
Doesn't she just want Xiaohua to be a free nanny and take care of her son?
It's just work. Who in the countryside is afraid of work?
As long as I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life, I will just work hard.
Nowadays, unless you are born in a high-ranking official family, who doesn't work?
Moreover, she knew her own mother and sister-in-law well enough. At most, they would exploit people's labor. They were just harsh in words, but they would never do such things as stealing money and killing people.
In such a marriage, Xiaohua would indeed suffer some grievances and hardships at the beginning. But she couldn't predict what would happen in the future. She knew her daughter well. She was not the kind of person who would suffer losses without resistance.
Therefore, the final result will most likely not be too bad.
This is the best option she can think of and get at the moment.
Even for Xiaocao's marriage, she only wanted to find someone from the families she knew well.
It doesn’t matter whether it is good now or not, as long as it is good in the long run, that’s enough.
After hearing Aunt Zhao finish her words, everyone fell silent.
