Chapter 420 Pre-marital Anxiety
As mentioned before, Wang Lizhen's wedding date is approaching.
At the beginning, perhaps because she had not yet reacted, she would go to get off work and come home every day, and occasionally come to play with Xia Zhizhi when she had free time. She would eat and drink as usual, as if nothing had happened, without any delay.
Wang Lizhen acted as if nothing had happened at first. It wasn't that she wasn't worried about these things, she just couldn't react and always felt that getting married was still a long way off.
One day after get off work, I saw the pile of red dowry in my living room. I was suddenly stunned. I realized that I was going to become someone's daughter-in-law soon.
Nowadays, everyone has tacitly accepted that once a girl gets married, no matter whether her husband's family is prominent or her parents-in-law are kind, her life will definitely not be as easy as when she was a girl in her parents' home.
Wang Lizhen herself also understands this principle.
Moreover, compared with most lesbians in the country, Wang's parents and brothers all truly love her, so her identity as a daughter is particularly easy.
Wang Lizhen suddenly began to worry about her married life and decided not to get married.
Most girls would have this kind of emotion unless they desperately want to change their fate by getting married.
But Wang Lizhen was getting married for the first time and had no idea that this would happen. She just felt that she had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that at this time she definitely couldn't tell her parents that she didn't want to get married.
After all, everything has been arranged, and his girl's family has nothing to complain about. If she says she doesn't want to get married, that would be just looking for trouble. If she really does that, even her loving family will find it difficult to stand on her side.
Wang Lizhen was suddenly worried and the rice no longer tasted good. She took two bites and put down the bowl.
He said hello to his parents and said, "I'm going to see Zhizhi for something." Then he pushed his bicycle out.
Wang's parents had long known that Wang Lizhen and Xia Zhizhi had a good relationship.
Before Xia Zhizhi returned to the Xia family, they would agree to their daughter's relationship with Xia Zhizhi.
Now I don't object, I just remind her to be careful on the road.
Wang Lizhen had also been to Gongzhan Hutong twice, but Xia Zhizhi was not often at home, so she did not come very often.
Xia Zhizhi has always been a sensible person. Even when she hangs out outside, she has some acquaintances and friends she can talk to. Occasionally, they will make plans to go shopping together, check in at a hotel, or go out to play.
But if the family background is not suitable, she will not invite others to her home to play. What's more, she lives with her grandma, and it is not appropriate for her to bring a large group of young people back to make trouble.
Wang Lizhen is one of the few friends who knows her address.
Today happened to be Xia Qingqing's day off, so in order not to disturb grandpa and grandma's rest, the two sisters stayed in the side hall to talk and have snacks.
The guard had seen Wang Lizhen before and knew that she was Xia Zhizhi's friend, so he took her directly to the side room.
Xia Zhizhi was a little surprised when she saw Wang Lizhen's expression. After all, this girl's wedding was approaching and she had been cheerful for the past two days. Why did she suddenly look so worried?
It was already chilly in Beijing. After Wang Lizhen sat down, Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to serve her a cup of hot sweet drink. After she drank a few sips and felt warm, she asked, "What happened?"
Wang Lizhen held the cup in both hands and stammered, "I don't know what happened, I just, I just suddenly don't want to get married."
Xia Qingqing also knew Wang Lizhen, so she didn't avoid him. After hearing what Wang Lizhen said, she thought there was something wrong with the man, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"
Wang Lizhen shook her head: "No, I just suddenly had this idea..."
She really didn't know how to start and looked embarrassed.
The wedding date was not set suddenly. Since there is no problem with the other party and no unexpected changes have occurred, why did you suddenly have this idea?
Xia Qingqing couldn't understand, but thinking that she was her sister's friend after all, she didn't say anything more.
Xia Zhizhi chatted with Wang Lizhen for a while and asked about her family's recent situation and the preparations for the wedding.
I probably understood that Wang Lizhen was having some pre-marriage anxiety.
Wang Lizhen counted her fingers anxiously, "I'm not dissatisfied with their family. They are nice people. They were fine before. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little panicked."
Xia Zhizhi patted Wang Lizhen's hand and comforted her.
"Getting married is not an easy thing. You have to leave your own family and form a small family with another person. While taking on the responsibilities of a small family, you also need to get in touch with and integrate into another complete big family. Some of the things that will happen during this process are predictable, but some are unknown."
The benefits of getting married can definitely be anticipated before marriage, and most of these benefits actually fail to meet expectations.
But the downside is that it’s just like drawing a blind box.
Wang Lizhen nodded and said quietly, "Yes, although his family seems to be easy to get along with, but you know my personality. I am not diligent and I don't know how to talk. If it's a short time, they will tolerate it for a while, but if it's a long time, there might be some conflicts..."
Even if you are a good talker and hardworking, you may not know what strange conflicts will arise after spending a long time with a family.
It's normal to feel confused and uneasy under such a prospect.
Wang Lizhen's worries were not groundless, and Xia Zhizhi did not say anything like there was no need to worry.
According to the current domestic situation, given Wang Lizhen's own personality and her family, she cannot escape these relationships and responsibilities.
Instead of covering your ears and deceiving yourself, it is better to clarify these interests early on. You have to live your own life anyway.
Let’s not talk about other things for now. Given the Wang family’s financial situation, as long as Wang Lizhen herself stops thinking about digging wild vegetables, there is nothing else to worry about.
She doesn't need to rely on her husband's family for meals. If there is really something they don't get along with, don't worry, just do it.
So Xia Zhizhi explained: "Why do you think about these things? They know your personality. You can live your own life after you get married. If you get along well with your in-laws, you can visit them more often. If not, you can just avoid them.
You are a young girl, and you marry into their family. They are not very tolerant and are even picky about you. How can you be embarrassed?"
Wang Lizhen was usually a housewife and not someone who would be bullied. She thought Xia Zhizhi's words made sense and was comforted.
Yes, it's not like she's begging the man to marry her. Isn't she always like this? If the man's family makes trouble because of these things after marriage, then they are just looking for trouble! Just do it!
