In fact, Jiang Suinsui secretly thought many times about how to tell Song Weizheng that she didn't like him, and that falling into the water and the engagement were all coincidences, and she would not use this to entangle him.
Now that the opportunity has come, she and Song Wei Zheng stand face to face, and Song Wei Zheng says that marrying him would cause trouble.
But Jiang Suishun was a little speechless...
Zhang Wenfang and Li Daidi had just said a lot of bad things about Song Weizheng's family. If she now goes with the flow and cancels the engagement directly, it would actually be a good thing.
But firstly, in the countryside at that time, it was a big trouble for a girl to have her reputation affected. Although she was not afraid of rumors, she did not want to be bothered to the point of being unable to go out.
Secondly, if she didn't get married, Grandma Jiang would definitely urge her to find another family to marry as soon as possible. She didn't want to experience the horror of being forced to get married, and she didn't want to just find a man to marry.
However, in addition to these reasons, Jiang Suisui still had some vague emotions in her heart, which emerged when she just met Song Weizheng.
She suddenly realized that Song Weizheng also had pain and struggles about his family and identity, and was confused and lost about his future and marriage.
The breeze blew across her cheeks, and the broken hair by her ears was blown onto her face. Jiang Suunshun uncomfortably hooked her hair with her fingers and whispered to the person in front of her: "You don't have to think so much, life will always get better and better."
Life is always getting better and better, this is what Grandma Jiang has been saying to her these days, and Jiang Suishun deeply agrees with it. As a person from the future, he may not have the power to change history, but he can also use the only prophet to encourage those who are occasionally confused.
"Haven't you been working hard to live a good life? Pay for your mother's medical treatment and raise your sister." Jiang Suisui still remembers how he was described in the original novel. His father passed away and the family was in debt. His mother was critically ill and his sister was young. He carried the family on his thin shoulders. Then he went into business with nothing and built his own business empire from scratch.
A few words can mean a lifetime. But only when she saw it with her own eyes did Jiang Suisui truly feel that the winners in life who were described lightly in the book also had to go through pain and struggle first.
"Although it may sound easy to say these words now, you can try to believe that everything will be fine in the future."
Song Wei Zheng was stunned, and then a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Jiang Suishun to say this.
This girl seems a little different from before...
Once upon a time, she was arrogant and willful, not considering other people's feelings, and even threatened to make him abandon his mother and sister and marry into her family.
Song Weizheng is a very patient person, but this is only for ordinary people and things. Once it comes to his family, he will be like an angry wolf and show his fangs.
That time, his face was cold and his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone, which scared Jiang Suishun away. After that, he was not harassed by her for a long time.
The next time they met was when she fell into the water. Song Weizheng jumped into the water and picked her up from the water. He still had a deep impression of the look in Jiang Suishun's eyes that suddenly lit up when she saw him.
Is what she is saying now saying that she wants to work hard with him and live a good life?
And just now, in order to protect him, she broke off relations with the sisters she grew up with.
Maybe she really likes him...
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Song Wei Zheng suddenly didn't know what to do with his hands hanging on both sides of his body. He couldn't help but raise his hands and hold the backpack straps tightly.
He pursed his lips and finally said, "Of course, I will live a good life even without you telling me."
After saying this, he felt a little annoyed, as if he was too cold and didn't give her face. Song Weizheng frowned and pursed his lips, and fell silent again.
Jiang Suishun didn't take it to heart. Song Weizheng didn't like her and probably didn't even want to talk to her.
She nodded and said, "Of course, I believe you will."
In order to reassure Song Weizheng, she promised: "Don't worry, I won't pester you like before. Although we are engaged, you are free, let's just be ordinary friends."
Hearing this, Song Wei Zheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Suisui with confusion and surprise in his eyes.
Jiang Suunshun didn't notice his expression and continued to talk to herself, "The marriage hasn't been decided yet, so we can put it off. If you find a girl you like in the future, just tell me directly and I will take the initiative to cancel the engagement. As for now, I will keep my distance from you and not let others gossip and affect you."
It would take some time for the heroine and the hero to develop their relationship, right? During this time, she used this marriage to avoid the gossip.
I'm sorry, I promise, when everyone has almost forgotten, I will exit the protagonists' world cleanly and neatly, Jiang Suisui said silently in her heart.
However, she ignored that this era is not like the Internet era of the future, where the amount of information is huge and gossip and news emerge endlessly. After new gossip comes out, the previous gossip will be slowly forgotten. In this era, information is blocked and there is no entertainment and leisure. Any gossip can be spread to the whole village, and old news can be chewed over and over again. The gossip about her and Song Weizheng may not be so easy to get over.
Jiang Suinsui was naive and optimistic. She felt a little guilty for using the hero and the heroine. She smiled shyly at Song Weizheng and said uncomfortably, "That's it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have work to do at home."
After saying that, she waved to Song Wei Zheng, turned around and left neatly.
Song Wei Zheng was left alone, confused and shocked.
·
Jiang Suinsui said goodbye to Song Wei Zheng and left. After walking for a while, when she thought she was out of Song Wei Zheng's sight, she hurriedly quickened her pace and trotted down the mountain, as if someone was chasing her.
"Oh, I'm so nervous!" Jiang Suishun patted his chest and muttered to himself as he walked on the deserted path. "I've already promised you this, so I guess nothing will happen to me from now on, right?"
After taking two more steps, she suddenly slapped her head and said in annoyance, "Oh no! I forgot to ask him about Song Yuxue's situation."
After meeting Song Yuxue a few days ago, Jiang Suisui began to miss her. In the following days, she went up the mountain every day and wandered around there, but she never met Song Yuxue again.
I happened to meet the male protagonist today, so I could have asked him.
"Forget it." After thinking for a while, Jiang Suishun shook his head again, "Asking him will make it seem like I'm deliberately prying into his family's situation."
Song Weizheng's home seems to be quite close to hers? Jiang Suisui tilted her head and thought about it. She decided to go to his home tomorrow when Song Weizheng is not at home.
"Sui Sui!"
A call interrupted Jiang Suunsui's trance, and she responded subconsciously: "Hey!"
She looked up and saw Grandma Jiang standing at the gate not far away, looking at her.
Jiang Suinsui hurriedly trotted over to greet her: "Grandma, I'm back!"
Grandma Jiang muttered, "Where did you go to play again? Why are you back just now?"
Jiang Suisui took her arm and said as they walked, "Zhang Wenfang and Li Daidi came to see me just now, so I went out to talk to them."
Hearing these two names, Grandma Jiang looked a little unhappy: "Playing around with them again!"
"Grandma! I didn't play. I just talked for a while and then I came back." Jiang Suisui explained, and then she was a little puzzled, "Grandma, don't you like them?"
Grandma Jiang looked at her innocent little granddaughter and sighed, "It's not that I don't like it, but you are grown up now, you should be more careful, don't just listen to what others say, and don't just do what others ask you to do."
Jiang Suunsui nodded, she understood a little. Perhaps, Grandma Jiang had seen before that the two friends of the original body had no good intentions in secret.
Jiang Suisui: "Grandma, actually I just went out with them and had a fight."
"What's going on?" Grandma Jiang asked quickly, "Did they have a fight? Did they bully you?" In Grandma Jiang's heart, her granddaughter is always the one who is wronged.
Jiang Suisui nodded: "Yeah! When they heard about me falling into the water, not only did they not come to comfort me, they also treated the gossip outside as entertainment. They even came to me and said that my marriage was not a good one and it would cause trouble in the future!" Although it was a bit exaggerated, that was the general idea.
When Grandma Jiang heard this, she got angry: "What the hell!"
She was furious and turned around and walked out: "I'm going to their house and talk to the parents of these two girls and teach them a lesson. Stop talking nonsense in other people's homes!"
“Grandma! Grandma!” Jiang Suishun quickly pulled her back, “No, no, I’ve already argued with them.”
Jiang Suunshun comforted her, "I also told you that I won't play around with them anymore. I will stay at home with grandma and help her with work!"
Grandma Jiang finally calmed down, a trace of relief appeared on her face, and she nodded and said, "That's right! You should have done this a long time ago. Those two girls, one loves to act up and do mischief, and the other is short-sighted and knows how to ask you for things. I didn't want you to play with them a long time ago."
“Oh…” Jiang Suinshun listened obediently and did not refute.
Grandma Jiang continued, "I told you before that I was afraid you would make trouble. Now it's best if you think it through. Just listen to me. I will never harm you. You should learn to do some housework at home, cook, wash clothes, tidy up the house, and also learn some sewing. Don't go out and have fun all the time. When you get married, you will be able to live a better life."
Jiang Suin Suin still couldn't accept this old idea. She couldn't help but retort: "I can do housework, but I didn't marry to work for others. If a man wants to marry a servant, it's better not to marry him."
Grandma Jiang disagreed: "When a woman marries someone else, she has to work. Do you think you are still in your own family? Someone is used to you. Look outside, if someone marries a lazy woman, won't they say that the family is unlucky? You may think that what I say is unpleasant, but it is all for your own good! Getting married is fine, but when you have children in the future, you will be even busier. Learn now so that people won't gossip about you in the future."
Jiang Suinsui wanted to talk but stopped herself in the end. It is difficult to correct the ideas of the older generation. After she is admitted to university and takes her grandmother to the city, she will see more of the world and understand more new ideas, and maybe everything will be better.
