Chapter 540 You've Been Engaged in a Ghost Marriage
Li Hanxing finally gave the three hundred yuan she had just received back to Jiang Xuxu.
She didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet, and she didn't know who Jiang Xuxu was, but from the way she just dealt with Pei Yuanyun, Li Hanxing felt that this person shouldn't lie to her.
Yes, who would deliberately make up such a big story for three hundred yuan.
Even if she really lied, at most she would lose half of the medicine.
"I'll give you this half of the medicine today, then you can calculate for me to see if I can successfully marry into the Pei family."
Li Hanxing made no secret of her intentions.
She just wanted to rely on her belly to get promoted, otherwise, as a female college student, why would she bother to cling to Pei Yuanyun.
For this reason, she didn't mind even if she had to give up her studies.
Marrying into the Pei family was the best way out she could find at the moment.
Facing Li Hanxing's seemingly casual but uneasy gaze, Jiang Xuxu looked indifferent, opened her mouth, and directly shattered her hope.
"No."
Li Hanxing's heart sank instantly, and her face became a little ugly.
Just when she wanted to get angry and question Jiang Xuxu's incompetence, she heard her continue in a slow voice,
"You can't marry into the Pei family, because you... have been arranged to marry in a ghost marriage."
Since she had other engagements, it was naturally impossible for her to marry into the Pei family again.
It was impossible even if she had a child.
Li Hanxing was stunned when she heard what Jiang Xuxu said, then her face turned pale, and then she screamed in disbelief,
"Impossible!"
She certainly knew what a ghost marriage was. In her hometown, when she was young, she had seen villagers doing ghost marriages.
But how could she be engaged in a ghost marriage?
"Impossible..."
Her voice seemed to tremble slightly because of excitement. Looking at Jiang Xuxu, her eyes were red and there was a hint of hatred.
But this hatred was not for Jiang Xuxu.
"They... They clearly said that they just found a family for me..."
They were Li Hanxing's parents.
It was because of this so-called parents that Li Hanxing would do such a thing as selling her body to tie up another man.
She knew that even if she really forced Pei Yuanyun to marry her, she might not have a good life in the future.
But she had no choice.
She had to think about the present more than the future.
Her hometown was in a remote rural area, and she was not liked by her family since she was a child.
Fortunately, she was a talented student and was admitted to university on her own.
However, the condition for her family to let her go to university was that she promised to send 1,000 yuan back home every month.
For this, she worked very hard, because she could apply for a student loan to pay for schooling, but she had to rely on herself for living expenses and money to send back home.
This situation continued until her junior year.
Maybe her family thought that 1,000 yuan a month was too little, or maybe they thought she had become wild after going to the big city...
the parents would rather let her drop out of school and go home to get married.
Li Hanxing wanted to resist.
But she couldn't resist...
because not every parent is worthy of being called parents.
When Li Hanxing was twelve years old, she was sexually assaulted by a neighbor's uncle. When her parents found out, they did not choose to call the police immediately, but went to the other party to discuss compensation.
In the end, the matter was resolved by the other party with 8,000 yuan.
She thought that her parents' indifference and cruelty were just like this.
But their bottom line always exceeds her imagination.
In order to make her go home and get married, they threatened her that if she didn't obey, they would tell the whole school about the bullying she had suffered as a child.
By then, even if she was the victim, she would not be able to continue her studies if the news got out.
Because society and human nature are often very cruel.
Some people never condemn the perpetrators, but find problems with the victims.
There are also some people who, knowing that you are being persecuted, will still speculate about you and laugh at you with all kinds of dirty thoughts.
Didn't they say she was raped? Why wasn't the man arrested?
There are always men visiting her house. Are they using their daughter to do that? She
is so dirty at such a young age.
How much does she charge for sleeping with him once?
Similar words, as well as those sympathetic or meaningful looks that fell on her.
Many times, they almost pulled her into the abyss.
Li Hanxing finally escaped from such an abyss, and she didn't want to go back.
Knowing that her parents were attracted by the 200,000 yuan betrothal gift offered by that family, Li Hanxing made an agreement with her parents.
Within three months, she would give 200,000 yuan to her family, and from now on, her family would not force her to marry or use that matter to threaten her.
Her family agreed.
"They obviously agreed..."
There was still more than half a month left before the three months they agreed on, but they directly arranged a ghost marriage for her...
Li Hanxing held her head tightly with both hands, her expression no longer as casual as before, but now one of collapse and despair.
Tears kept falling, and despair was accompanied by uncontrollable hatred.
She didn't even doubt the truth of Jiang Xuxu's words.
Because she knew that this was something her parents could do.
Jiang Xuxu looked at Li Hanxing in front of her, and a bit of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Li Hanxing did calculate Pei Yuanyun in the matter of the child.
She might even have thought of using the Pei family to feed her increasingly greedy parents.
Such thoughts and means are not glorious, but... you can't expect a person who is in the mud to be full of integrity.
Some people have exhausted all their energy just to live.
Jiang Xuxu is not a judge and will not judge whether she is right or wrong. She told her this purely because -
she paid.
Three hundred yuan is not a small amount.
"If I am not mistaken, the two families have exchanged marriage certificates. Once the marriage certificate is burned, this is a ghost marriage recognized by the underworld. If the other party's ghost is still there, you are very likely to be entangled by the other party openly."
Once the two parties have an actual marriage contract, even if Xuanmen wants to intervene, it will be very troublesome.
Just like in real life, once there is a marriage certificate, intentional injury will also be said to be a family conflict.
Li Hanxing listened to Jiang Xuxu's words, and his heart sank again and again.
But she was not the kind of person who would just cry and run away when she encountered something. At this moment, she looked at Jiang Xuxu with red eyes.
"Can you help me? As long as you are willing to help me, I will do anything.
Can you just stop the marriage certificate from being burned?"
Jiang Xuxu looked at her and suddenly said,
"Why should I stop it?"
The tone of her question was too matter-of-fact, and Chu Beihe beside her couldn't help but look at her.
Li Hanxing was even more stunned, her face froze, and just as she was about to refute her, she heard Jiang Xuxu continue slowly,
"If I'm not wrong, the name written on the marriage certificate should be Li Hanxing, Li Hanxing... It's not your real name."
Li Hanxing was stunned when she heard this.
The next second, she seemed to have an epiphany.
Yes.
How could she forget.
Her real name is not Li Hanxing.
Li Hanxing...
is the name of her younger brother.
