Xia Lu always remembered how she felt at that time, but reality is always contrary to one's expectations.
She still remembers clearly that sister was standing on the bridge, taking only one step before jumping down, surrounded by people trying to persuade her. She still remembers how she sincerely shouted, "Sister, please wait a little longer, don't die, your mother will be here soon."
Soon, they arrived. When the in-laws' family arrived at the scene, they also tried to persuade me. Whether they were sincere or not, at least they tried to persuade me.
When her mother's family arrived at the scene, what Xia Lu would never forget in her life was that the first thing they did was to start cursing at her sister!
You're such a disgrace. If you want to die, just die soon. Why did I give birth to someone like you?
She couldn't give birth to a boy, got divorced, and now she's making a fuss and making a fool of herself!
The sister's mother was cursing and her father was shouting angrily, "Jump, or I will kill you when I come back."
Then she kicked, cried and screamed on the ground. If you didn't know, you would think she was the one trying to commit suicide! But the reality was that she just felt that her daughter had let the family down and embarrassed her!
Xia Lu still remembers that she cursed.
She forgot what she had scolded, but just when she was standing up for that sister and her face was so important - there was a splash behind her and that sister jumped into the lake!
...
...
She couldn't wait for her family to redeem her, couldn't wait for her family to reach out and pull her back from the abyss, but instead she waited for a devil's hand, forcing her from the edge of not wanting to jump to having to jump!
Xia Lu will never forget this family. She also remembers that after she went back that day, her mother shook her head and sighed. She was not sighing at the girl's family's behavior, but sighing that after raising her for more than 20 years, she was still so ignorant and made her parents worry. No one felt that the girl was pitiful or miserable, but only felt that she was ignorant. Everyone went through this, so why did you get divorced? It was your fault.
If you say that people in that era were backward in thinking and everyone was like that, that would be fine, but the reality is not like that. It's just that many people feel that it has always been like this and it is right. No one has ever thought about resisting, nor did they dare to resist. They did not dare to step out of their comfort zone. They were in trouble but did not think of it as a trouble, and they made mistakes but did not think of it as enlightenment. Many of the sisters she knew would say to her after they got married, Xia Lu, don't get married too early, you should read more, and you should meet the right person.
But as women, the mothers of these sisters said, "It's great that someone wants you, don't be picky! It's your fault if you can't give birth to a boy."
So when the Xia family wanted to marry Xia Lu into that family, Xia Lu felt world-weary for the first time and felt that everything in this world was annoying.
I even feel that it would be better if I didn't have parents.
Because she knew better than anyone what would happen to her once she got married. She had to give birth to a boy. If anything happened to him, her family would not help her. Her life would end up like those sisters she hated. She knew it very well and she didn't want that kind of ending. It was at that time that Xia Lu began to rebel, resist, feel disgusted, and become irritable. She hurt others and herself.
In order to ruin the marriage, she smashed things and made a scene at home, even until her father became angry, but she didn't care. If you don't care about me, why should I care about you?
However, the Xia family insisted on marrying her, so she went to that family's house to make trouble and had a fight with the man in that family. The man's head was broken and bleeding, and she was covered with scars. It was also at that time when she was exhausted and almost doubted whether she should compromise with the world, that Qin Jiangke appeared...
If Xia Lu was the one forced to stand in the dark abyss at that time, Qin Jiangke was the sunshine and Xia Lu's salvation.
Xia Lu saw hope in this man.
He does not have the bad roots of male chauvinism that most men have. Instead, he feels sad about the environment that favors boys over girls, so he is extremely kind to his sister and doesn't let her feel those things.
He is not as mean as other boys of his age who like to bully girls. He respects both boys and girls and will advise those boys not to do so.
He approached Xia Lu, and slowly used his sunshine to heal Xia Lu's scarred heart caused by this environment. He took her out to play, he pampered her, loved her, he liked her, and without any concealment, he said generously, "I like you, if you don't want to get married, I can wait for you."
Xia Lu had a very bad reputation at that time, and the Qin family would definitely not agree. He said that it was his responsibility to convince his parents.
When she was unhappy, he would often bring Qin Qin with him, sometimes comforting her himself, and sometimes tricking Qin Qin into comforting her.
He would squat down and carry her on his back in places with puddles just to avoid getting her shoes dirty.
She said it was pretentious.
He said that being pretentious is a blessing, and he hopes that one day he can see her being so pretentious every day!
Whenever he made money, after handing it over to his family, he would spend the rest on her. The first beautiful dress she wore when she grew up was bought by Qin Jiangke! Her family had never bought her one before.
When she grew up, she wanted to get her ears pierced, and it was Qin Jiangke who took her to get her ears pierced.
When she grew up, she wore earrings for the first time, and they were bought for her by Qin Jiangke!
He said he knew how badly she was hurt. He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life slowly healing her. She deserved better. He said, Xia Lu, I know you are a kind girl, otherwise you wouldn't have led those girls to resist. It's just that the environment is unfair. He knows, he knows everything...
Everyone thinks Xia Lu is rebellious, but Xia Lu just wants to give those girls a chance to speak.
Everyone thought Xia Lu was being naughty, but they didn't know that if she wasn't naughty, if she was too sensible, she wouldn't even have the chance to speak.
Everyone thought that Xia Lu was hopeless, but they didn't know that Xia Lu had been trying to save herself and others, but she was useless and couldn't save anyone, and in the end she almost buried herself.
But Qin Jiangke understood her. When Xia Lu was almost in despair of this environment and this world, this man was like sunshine. She once thought that he might be a liar who was just saying sweet words, but the accumulated facts proved that he was not a liar.
A liar can disguise himself for a while, but not for a lifetime. Qin Jiangke is not only good to her, he is also good to others.
Everyone in Qinhuai Street liked him. When he showed up with Xia Lu, an adult advised her to stay away from him. Qin Jiangke said to the other person, "Auntie, don't say that. Xia Lu is very cute."
Xia Lu is very cute, Xia Lu is very nice.
Xia Lu is very smart, Xia Lu is great.
After meeting Qin Jiangke, this was the sentence Xia Lu heard him say most often to others. He didn't hide anything and always spoke positively. He took her to join other small groups, helping the elderly to harvest the fields, hanging out with a group of children of the same age, taking him to the Qin family, and occasionally leaving his sister to her -
It was also during that time that Xia Lu went from crying, being sad and numb all the time, to slowly learning to smile. The more she smiled, the more cheerful she became. She learned to stop being tough and instead be gentle.
Back in the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
