"Didn't Zhao Dani marry someone in the village? She can't take the exam, right?"
"It's just a marriage, no marriage certificate, no children. She can leave at any time. I heard that she and other men have only slept together a few times. Isn't she planning to go back to the city?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"I saw it last time Dani wrote back. She asked her parents to find a solution quickly because her in-laws were pushing her so hard that she couldn't bear it any longer."
Yin Hong pinched the homemade fried peanuts and said with disdain, "If you can't bear it, you shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. There are so many girls going to the countryside, why is she the only one who can't endure hardship?
She married him because she didn't want to work, and now she wants to come back after leaving him alone. Isn't this a lie? "
Zhao Meiya always thought that it was a good thing for a girl to be ambitious, but it was not smart for Zhao Dani to show it to everyone so early.
I heard that her husband's family has some influence in the village. How can they watch her take the exam without causing trouble?
However, Zhao Dani herself knew that she had offended someone so much that she panicked and immediately sent a letter to her parents for help.
Zhao Erhe went there two days ago and paid most of the dowry she had before bringing her back. Naturally, the marriage was not concluded.
Before leaving, he left a sum of money as hush money, which was nothing in the city but a huge sum in the village.
The man's family had long been dissatisfied with this delicate city girl, and they did not feel much resentment after receiving the money. Instead, they happily helped him find a good wife who could bear children.
"After all, she is my biological daughter. Zhao Erhe still feels sorry for her. It's not easy for a father to do this."
"Tsk, isn't it because his good son Zhao Meng never studied hard, he's like a fool, and his letters are full of typos. It's better to hope for red rain than to expect him to get into college.
If his family wants a college student, they can only rely on Dani, so wouldn't it take a lot of effort to bring her back? "
Zhao Erhe likes to compete with his elder brother Zhao Dashan in everything. He heard that Zhao Erni plans to take the exam next year and has been reviewing at home.
So he felt a sense of crisis, and after choosing between his two children, he had no choice but to choose his daughter.
Zhao Meiya calmly showed off the new words she had heard from her daughter, "Judging from his deeds rather than his heart, it's quite good to just look at his actions."
The college entrance examination is approaching, and there are so many new things happening in the yard that it’s hard to count them all.
"The educated youth are not strictly controlled these days, and many of them have escaped, young and old. Niu Liye from the Niu family came back the night before yesterday, carrying a large bag. His face was tanned and his beard was untidy, like a wild man. I saw him grinning outside the door with his big white teeth, and I almost got scared."
“Don’t mention it, my granddaughter came back and cried for a long time, saying that bad guys came to catch children.
I was wondering who it was, Niu Liye has really changed a lot, he was only a teenager before going to the countryside, I didn’t expect…”
The Niu family's secret is a semi-public secret in the courtyard. Although everyone feels disgusted by it, the people have always been highly accepting of it.
In the past few years, every household has had a hard time and has not had much time to take care of other people's affairs, but I got used to it over time.
When Niu Liye came back this time, there were quite a few people watching the fun.
Back then, Niu Anjia had sent his younger brother to the countryside with improper intentions, so that he could inherit his father's job and live a good life in the city. He must have been holding a lot of resentment in his heart.
On the day he came back, he beat up Niu An's eldest son, who was nominally his younger brother, and said that he was so unfilial that he refused to even go to his father's spirit to burn incense.
Everyone, including the beaten child, knows clearly which father he should be filial to.
Unfortunately, this could not be said in public. Niu Anjia suffered a loss in silence, and his relationship with his brother became even more tense.
Zhong Guilan was feeling guilty and had no time to hide with her children. She had already been staying at her mother's house for several days.
Niu Anjia is not the type of person who will suffer any loss, so he is very angry. You can stay at home, but you have to be responsible for your own food.
He locked up all the food and secretly took his children out to eat or to the cafeteria.
Niu Liye had sneaked back from the countryside, and his food supply was still there, so he could only rush to the rich people's homes in the yard to eat at mealtime.
But even though the year is good now, other families don’t have extra food, and after one or two times, no one is willing to help.
Everyone was advising him and his elder brother to give in, or else go back to the countryside.
Would Niu Liye be happy?
He came here to take the college entrance examination, and he doesn't plan to go back even if he fails.
He just pretended not to understand other people's expressions and planned to get through this month. When he really had nothing to eat, he would snatch snacks from his nephews and nieces, making a very ugly scene.
"Do you think Niu Liye can pass the exam?"
"I don't think it's possible. He's been farming in the village for several years and he's old. How much can he possibly have left in his head?"
"Haven't you heard? Zhong Guilan came back this morning with a message from Niu Liye's wife, saying that if he doesn't come back to the village, she will change the children's surnames."
"Oh, he got married?"
Zhao Meiya leaned forward, also a little surprised.
But when I think about it, it seems reasonable. After all, Niu Liye is already in his thirties, and not everyone is as weird as his brother.
"Yeah, I heard that he had a son and a daughter, and he didn't plan to take care of that place when he came back this time.
She was quite tough, not asking for anything from him, and certainly not planning to come to him with the child. She just said that it was fine as if she had gotten a son-in-law and two children for free.
"That's not very fair of him to do. If his wife's family didn't love her, how would they live with an orphan and a widow?"
"That's right," Niu Liye said, not saying anything after hearing the message. He said he would talk about it after he finished the exam.
Zhong Guilan scolded him for being hypocritical, saying he was unwilling to change his child's surname but also unwilling to go back.
