Chapter 17 I'm Serious
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Chen Yi walked aimlessly.
She would also meet people on the street who would talk about her behind her back.
Chen Yi thought she wouldn't care about these people's advice, but after a long time, she felt very uncomfortable.
It seemed like these people had nothing to do all day and were just using her for entertainment.
As she arrived at the educated youth site, she saw a tall figure standing at the door.
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and walked over, "Why are you here?"
He Mingcheng turned around and looked at the weak little girl in front of him, and finally felt a lot more at ease.
Don’t talk about how torturous these days were, it’s over anyway.
"Chen Yi, I want to tell you something." He took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yi seriously.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yi couldn't help feeling uneasy seeing him like this.
No way! No way!
"Let's get married." He Mingcheng said with a serious expression and a firm tone.
Chen Yi was stunned!
She didn't react for a moment and just stood there blankly.
"Get married?" She looked at He Mingcheng and said, "Are you still asleep? Can you just say marriage casually?"
Although she has never been married, the person she once expected to marry betrayed her.
Until now, she still can't trust men or believe in feelings.
He Mingcheng knew from her expression that she didn't believe it.
"I'm serious!"
Chen Yi waved her hand to interrupt him, "Okay, you want to see me suffer from rumors? It doesn't matter, I don't care. If you marry me for such a small matter, you will never be happy in the future! We have no feelings for each other at all."
What she said was sincere. Rather than delaying and becoming enemies, it would be better to refuse from the beginning.
Don't like someone out of sympathy, as this will only lead to more mistakes.
He Mingcheng shook his head and said seriously: "I like you. I have thought it through very clearly these days. It is because of you that I feel sad."
Chen Yi saw that his face was red and his ears were red.
Are you blushing already?
Suddenly she felt that this big boy was quite cute.
"Are you sure you're not just being overly sympathetic or having an illusion about me? This is not something that can be decided easily. It's a matter of a lifetime." Chen Yi looked at him and her tone calmed down.
After all, we have been living under the same roof for almost a month, so we are more familiar with each other than ordinary people.
Although the two people don't talk much, they know each other a little bit.
He Mingcheng is indeed a good person, but she knows that if she doesn’t have that kind of intention towards him, she would be cheating him.
What's more, the emotional foundation between two people is too weak, so it is easy to get divorced after getting married.
Although divorce is rare in this day and age, Chen Yi is not someone who would tolerate this.
He Mingcheng looked at her and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. You are afraid of delaying me, but what I said today was well thought out. I am an adult and I understand the consequences of doing anything."
"You don't need to feel any psychological burden. Feelings can be cultivated. I am sure that I am a man worthy of entrusting your life to. I hope you can seriously consider it."
Today was the day when the two of them talked the most.
This was also the most serious topic.
Chen Yi was silent and glanced at the educated youth site. There were quite a lot of people looking over here.
She replied: "Let me think about it. I'll tell you the answer when I figure it out."
This is a big deal, not a simple matter of what to eat today and what to eat tomorrow.
She needs to be responsible for what she says and does.
Therefore, you must consider it carefully.
He Mingcheng also knew this, so he nodded without saying anything more and just left.
When they got back to the educated youth camp, Fang Xiaoli saw her come in and hurried over to ask, "What did he say to you? He's been acting like this these past few days, and he still came to see you, and he didn't know how to be discreet."
She felt very uncomfortable, after all, this was not a trivial matter.
It would be fine if He Mingcheng didn't avoid people, but he came here so blatantly. Isn't this obviously giving everyone an opportunity to talk nonsense about his wife?
Anyway, she was very unhappy and had a bad impression of He Mingcheng.
Chen Yi thought about it and felt that this matter did not need to be kept secret, so she said, "He came here to discuss some things with me and wanted to marry me."
"Get married?!" Fang Xiaoli looked at her in surprise and asked hesitantly, "Chen Yi, are you sure you want to settle down in this village?"
"Although I can't go back now, my dad said that he would find an opportunity for me to return to the city in two years. Everyone will have the opportunity to go back."
Although this place looks beautiful with mountains and rivers, it is still a rural area after all. You can only farm and share the food, and you will have to stay in the countryside all your life.
She didn't like it, so she didn't understand Chen Yi's thoughts.
Chen Yi sighed and said, "Do you think my family will help me find a chance to return to the city?"
After hearing this, Fang Xiaoli was speechless.
Yes, how could a family with a stepmother possibly use connections to help a stepdaughter?
It's not just about spending money, it's also about favors.
Chen Yi continued, "I've thought about it a bit, and it's better to stay here than to go back and be looked down upon. Of course, you don't have to get married here."
In fact, she just wanted to wait until she took the college entrance examination, go to school, and then start a business.
She has space, no worries about food and drink, and she has the capital to start a business and sell something.
Fang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Getting married means staying together forever.
It is even more difficult for people with rural household registration to return to the city. At least now their household registration is registered with the production team, not implemented.
"Just think your own affairs through and don't be impulsive." She only said this one sentence. She was afraid that Chen Yi would be unhappy if she said more.
Chen Yi understood her good intentions, nodded, and went to light the fire.
A lot has happened in these few days, and not just these few days.
It has been a long time since Chen Yi came to Xiaohe Brigade.
There has been no peace for a while, and I'm tired.
Her main concern now was to stop the rumors. Unfortunately, it was impossible.
Looking at the flames burning in the stove pit, Chen Yi thought about it seriously.
If she married He Mingcheng, she wouldn't need to live here.
And they have their own bedroom, it’s impossible for two people to sleep together like this, right?
Although she is not a conservative person, she feels that if she wants to divorce, wouldn't that be a betrayal to He Mingcheng?
No matter what you do, it's not right. It's not right to let someone down after getting married.
Neither this nor that works.
“＊＊＊＊!”
Fang Xiaoli came out to cook and happened to hear this. She looked at her in surprise.
"Chen Yi, you swore!"
Chen Yi: …
She scratched her head and replied awkwardly: "I am upset, please understand."
Fang Xiaoli didn't say anything. Indeed, anyone would be upset if they encountered such a mess.
It's normal to say a few swear words, so let her understand.
