"So did you see us sitting down?" Si Yang was unhappy.
Feng Junhui's mother choked at this. It seemed that they really didn't sit down. The three girls were standing by the table, far away from the bed.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly awkward, with several people not knowing whether to sit or stand. The situation was only resolved when someone from outside brought in two stools.
After Feng Junhui's mother left, Zhang Xiao'e whispered, "I'm sorry! Junhui's mother just had a loud voice. She didn't mean any harm."
Si Yang asked straight to the point, "I remember you said before that Dr. Feng's family lives in town. Why are you holding the banquet in the countryside now? Isn't this his home?"
Zhang Xiao'e's expression paused slightly, and she twisted the corners of her clothes and didn't dare to look them in the eye.
It turned out that the so-called yard in the town was just a lie Feng Junhui told to save face.
In order to trick Zhang Xiao'e, their daughter-in-law from the city, the Feng family deliberately took her to live with relatives in the town and lied that it was their house.
Zhang Xiao'e only found out about this matter when she came back to hold her wedding banquet. Although she was very angry, her belly was so big. If it was exposed before she got married, her reputation and future would be ruined.
So even though she was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and marry Feng Junhui.
After hearing this, Si Yang finally understood that in order to trick the fool Zhang Xiaoe into his arms, Dr. Feng had deliberately made things a fait accompli with her, leaving her with no way out and forced to be at his mercy.
If I'm not mistaken, he even calculated the month of pregnancy when they got married.
The belly of more than four months pregnant can barely be covered, but with the current medical conditions, abortion pills are no longer possible, and surgical abortion is the only option.
Zhang Xiao'e didn't dare to have an abortion because she didn't have a marriage certificate, so she couldn't afford to delay and had no choice.
Not to mention that Feng Junhui's house still has several yellow mud walls, even if he lived in a straw hut, she would have to accept it!
After Zhang Xiao'e finished describing her predicament, a hint of regret finally appeared in her red eyes.
Si Yang didn't want to sympathize with her, nor would he say anything sarcastic.
As the old saying goes, you are responsible for your own choices.
But the other two female educated youth were filled with indignation after hearing what happened to Zhang Xiaoe:
"How could Dr. Feng do this? He looks so gentle and polite...isn't this a marriage fraud?"
"You can only judge a person by their appearance, but not by their heart. Comrade Xiao'e, if I were you, I would turn around and leave immediately. Since we haven't got the marriage certificate, do I really want to spend my whole life on this liar?"
"Bang——" As soon as the two finished speaking, the door was pushed open roughly.
They all turned their heads and saw Feng Junhui's mother standing at the door with her hands on her hips, angrily warning them, "If you want to come to the feast, we welcome you! But if you come to kidnap my daughter-in-law, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"Mom, don't say that about my comrades. They are all doing this for my own good." Zhang Xiao'e seemed to be sober again at this moment.
"For your own good! I don't think they have good intentions, or else let the assembly come and judge! They say it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage, but they came here and tried to sow discord between my daughter-in-law and son. What kind of intentions are they? How can you city folks be so vicious?"
"Exactly. What's so great about city people? Aren't they just reading a few more books? Aren't they just as clueless as us? Who are they looking down on?"
A group of aunties and grandmas at the door started to criticize several girls, and they looked more and more excited as they spoke.
Zhang Xiao'e was anxious and angry, but more of her was ashamed and embarrassed. She twisted the corners of her clothes helplessly, her jaw tense, but she couldn't say anything.
An Rong, a young intellectual, could no longer tolerate this and argued loudly, "Who looks down on the poor? We only look down on liars! You can be poor. Being a poor peasant is not a disgrace; it's the glorious proletariat. But you insist on pretending to be wealthy and hiding the true situation at home. This is deceiving Comrade Xiao'e's feelings. You're basically committing marriage fraud!" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
