Chapter 7 007 One Condition
Although her daughter has a bad reputation in the village, she is still pretty, but this is not an advantage in the eyes of the villagers? Wouldn't it be hard to live if I married a man with a stable job?
"I!"
An Xin was about to speak when Tian Zhengying, who was sitting in the crowd, quickly spoke.
"Sister-in-law, we think your daughter An Xin and Captain Bai are a perfect match, so you should find some time to get married, otherwise some things may be hard to cover up."
Originally, she wanted to come to Lao An's house to humiliate Chen Hongying, saying that she was incompetent and the daughter she raised was so shameful.
But the gifts Bai Yichen gave to the village cadres and her were too expensive. Even if she didn't want them, she couldn't harm the interests of others. Tian Zhengying had no choice but to shut her gossipy mouth and speak so obscurely.
In fact, this is not a subtle statement at all. Once it is said, everyone present understands what happened.
Chen Hongyan didn't understand what Tian Zhengying said before, but after listening to what he said, she understood what he meant. It was saying that her daughter was with that guy named Bai Yichen...
Thinking of this, Chen Hongyan's eyes immediately turned to her daughter. An Xin quickly lowered her head guiltily. The raw rice had been cooked into popcorn, and now the whole village knew about it. She couldn't hide it from her mother.
He just shouted timidly.
"mom……"
How could a grown woman like her continue to talk about such a thing in front of so many people?
Seeing her daughter's behavior like this, how could the mother not understand that there might really be something going on between her daughter and Bai Yichen? No wonder even the village cadres came to the house in person to propose matchmaking.
A trace of pity flashed across Chen Hongyan's eyes, which finally turned into a faint sigh.
"Oh, you..." It really made this old mother worry.
Looking at the mother and daughter sitting face to face in silence, Bai Yichen quickly stood up from the crowd and said sincerely.
"Auntie, I came here today just to talk to you about my marriage with An Xin."
Now that everything has happened, as a grown man, he cannot let An Xin face all the troubles in this world alone.
The mistake was made by both of them, so he should stand up and face it together with An Xin.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yichen said this, the expression on Chen Hongyan's face seemed less ugly, and a hint of relief also flashed across the faces of the village cadres present.
Village chief Hu Zhigang is even more determined to strike while the iron is hot.
"Mr. An, since both children have said so, you should just agree to the marriage."
Bai Yichen also made the promise.
"Auntie, don't worry. After An Xin and I get married, I will treat her well."
As the saying goes, children are the apple of their parents' eyes. Since he has decided to marry An Xin, he must promise to treat her well in front of his mother-in-law. Otherwise, why would she marry her daughter to you when she is not familiar with you?
When saying this, Bai Yichen stood straight, his eyes were deep and sincere, which gave people a sense of conviction.
Chen Hongyan couldn't help but nodded secretly and turned to look at her daughter.
"What do you think?"
To marry or not to marry? It depends on Anxin's own wishes. After all, they will be living on their own in the future.
Mother An has never been a strong parent. Naturally, she has to listen to her wishes for her daughter, whom she raised with great difficulty.
Everyone's eyes were on An Xin, and she suddenly became nervous. But when she thought of what had happened before, she suddenly steeled herself and spoke directly.
"Mom, I want to marry him!"
The reassuring words made everyone's hearts, which had been tense to the point of their throats, relax and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I heard An Xin continue to speak in a crisp voice.
"But I have one condition."
An Xin looked straight at Bai Yichen. Bai Yichen raised his eyes and also looked straight at An Xin. The two people's eyes met in the air. All kinds of inexplicable emotions collided with each other in an instant. The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and a deep and mellow voice overflowed from his thin lips.
"Please tell me what your conditions are!"
As long as he can do it, he will never be stingy.
However, in his mind, he was quickly calculating the betrothal gift he had prepared, wondering if it was enough to meet the conditions he was willing to ask for.
Everyone had different thoughts, all wondering what conditions An Xin would offer, when they heard the girl's voice echoing in the air.
"After we get married, I will still have to take care of our An family until my mother's illness is cured and my younger brothers and sisters are brought up into successful people."
Having said that, An Xin was afraid that others would misunderstand her, so she added another sentence.
"Of course, I will earn the money to raise our old An family myself. I won't use a penny of your money."
As soon as An Xin's words came out, there was a moment of silence at the scene, and the village cadres were complaining in their hearts.
"Is the eldest daughter of the An family mentally ill? Which married woman would still worry about her family? She also wants to raise her brothers and sisters in her family to be useful. How much money would that cost?"
An's mother was shocked by An Xin's words. What was going on in her family? She knew An Xin better than anyone else. She could barely afford to eat. If she was dragged down by the An family, she was afraid that An Xin would never have a good life.
So at the same time, two voices were heard in the air.
"Can!"
"I don't agree!"
Of course, it was Bai Yichen who said yes. He didn't expect that the girl named An Xin in front of him would suddenly make him look at her in a new light. She was tenacious and not the kind of girl who despised the poor and loved the rich. As for the situation of the An family, he didn't even need to inquire about their financial situation. He could be sure that the An family was penniless as soon as he entered the door.
An Xin can be said to be the only labor force in the family at present. After she got married, she is still willing to take care of the An family, which shows that this girl is indeed kind-hearted.
Of course, he could not only agree to take care of her family, but he would also help her family to the best of his ability. After all, her husband's family was too poor.
The one who disagreed was naturally Chen Hongyan. Their An family was a bottomless pit. She just wanted An Xin to marry someone with a stable job and live a good life. As the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected by heart. She didn't want her daughter to always carry the heavy burden of the An family. Since she was marrying him, she should live a happy life.
As for herself and her children, they just muddle through, living one day at a time.
These children were all hers to give birth to and raised by her, and she cherishes them like a piece of her own flesh and blood. She cannot let the huge burden of the old An family drag down An Xin's life.
The village cadres also heard the hidden meaning and were now all sitting on camels.
To put it bluntly, the village cadres cannot and should not interfere in such family affairs. After all, given the situation of the An family, if An Xin really married Bai Yichen and stopped caring about the family, the whole family would probably starve to death.
An Xin felt that as long as Bai Yichen agreed to let her take charge of the An family, then the marriage would be settled. All she had to do next was to convince her mother.
