Chapter 29 Bad Mood
The house they live in now was rented to them cheaply by one of my father’s former comrades after they were driven out. It is a simple, old, two-bedroom, one-living room house.
When they got home, looking at her expression, Bai Youyou knew that she hadn't eaten yet, so she picked up her phone and ordered a takeaway for her. While waiting, she sat in front of Bai Xinran.
"Go ahead, sister is listening!"
At this moment, Bai Xinran seemed to have finally found a place where she could feel at ease and relax. Looking at her cousin's clear eyes, she finally couldn't help covering her eyes and crying.
Bai Youyou didn't interrupt her and let her cry as much as she wanted. After she finished crying, she handed her a tissue. Seeing her looking at him pitifully with her walnut eyes, Bai Youyou felt distressed.
"You are about to take the college entrance examination. Is this related to this?"
Bai Xinran was surprised for a moment, then nodded with a heavy nasal tone and lowered his head.
"My grandmother said that I would be 18 soon and it was useless for a girl to go to college. She asked my father to find a rich man for me to marry when I turned 18 and to give more dowry to my second brother. After he graduated from college, she would buy him a house."
Bai Youyou raised an eyebrow. This was indeed something their grandmother could do. "What's your father's attitude?"
Speaking of her own father, Bai Xinran felt even more sad. "My father has always been afraid of my grandmother, and as a result, my mother has no say at home and is often bullied by my aunt."
Looking at her drooping head, she originally had two long braids. In my impression, she was a quiet and pretty girl. But now her hair is cut into a weird mushroom-shaped head, which makes people feel sorry. "Did your grandma do your braids too?"
When Bai Xinran mentioned her braid, she thought of that dark day, and her red and swollen eyes began to shed tears again;
"Grandma said that long hair wastes water and shampoo, and it's troublesome to wash. She used her big scissors to cut my braid while I was sleeping. Sister, I really can't stand it. What should I do?"
Her panic and helplessness were so obvious that Bai Youyou couldn't calm down. Xinran was pretty, or rather, all the children in their family were good-looking, so the old lady set her sights on her granddaughter.
"Did you tell anyone when you came to my place today?"
"No, after school I went to the address my uncle left for my dad. I didn't want to go back. It was too scary."
"Call Third Aunt and tell her you're here with me. If Grandma asks, tell Third Aunt to say that I've arranged intensive training for you before the college entrance exam."
Bai Xinran called her mother very obediently. Her third aunt was also a weak-willed person. She couldn't stand up at home and followed a husband who had no say. She couldn't give birth to a son and was controlled by her mother-in-law. She couldn't even protect her own daughter. Now she heard that her daughter went to her uncle's house. Although she was worried, at least the child could relax a little now.
"Xinran, be obedient at your uncle's house. Your aunt is sick, so don't cause trouble to your sister."
"I understand, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, the takeaway arrived. Xinran hadn't had a good meal for a long time. The food Bai Youyou ordered this time was also very good. She ate two bowls directly and finally cleaned up the dishes feeling a little embarrassed.
"Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Bai Youyou found a set of her own pajamas and handed it to her, "Okay, go wash up and have a good rest!"
The two of them squeezed into the 1.2-meter-long small bed, with the dim desk lamp on. The room was quiet and peaceful. The two sisters lay flat on their backs and looked at the ceiling quietly. Bai Youyou asked calmly;
"What are your plans for the future?"
Bai Xinran was like a little cat, with her hands folded on her belly obediently, and sighed, "Sister, what if my dad listens to grandma and asks me to give up college and get married? I really like studying, I don't want to get married!"
"You are not yet of legal age, and arranged marriages are illegal nowadays. As long as you don't agree, no one can force you to make the decision about your life."
"But, the arm cannot resist the thigh. Grandma said that she would find a local rich man, arrange the marriage, collect the betrothal gifts, and get the marriage certificate when I reach the age."
Her tone was filled with helplessness and despair. She came to Bai Youyou this time just to temporarily escape from the suffocating environment, but she still had to face it eventually.
"You can stay here with me for the time being and prepare for the exam with peace of mind."
"I recently heard about a very popular fortune-telling anchor. My classmates are all following her and say that she is very accurate. However, it costs one thousand dollars to ask her to tell your fortune, and she only tells you three fortunes a day. It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone and I don't have money, otherwise I really want to ask her to tell me if there is still hope for my future."
Bai Youyou was shocked. "What's the name of that anchor?"
"My classmates called her Master Bai and said she was a very beautiful girl."
Bai Youyou:......
Fans have put the advertisement on her own family. Silly sister, the master is lying next to you.
The two chatted for a while, and then they heard a soft snoring sound. Bai Youyou opened her eyes. She couldn't tell fortunes for her parents, but she could read the faces of her peers. She turned her head and quietly looked at her sleeping face, which was as quiet as a baby's.
I don’t know if it’s because of their kinship, but she could actually see through her third eye what happened to Xinran during the college entrance examination, and saw the scene where she was forced into a desperate situation by her own grandmother.
In order to prevent her from taking the college entrance examination, she secretly tore up her admission ticket...
For the sake of a 100,000 yuan betrothal gift, he drugged her when she was upset about missing the college entrance examination, and sent her to the bed of a widowed boss, where she was raped...
When she was determined not to get married, her grandmother and her second uncle's family turned the tables and slandered her, saying that she missed the college entrance examination because of fooling around, and that she was not decent and was picky even though someone wanted her. She was introverted and not good at speaking, and the betrayal of her relatives and the insults from the public made her defenseless.
Finally, she completely broke down and jumped from the school roof without hesitation...
Afterwards, Auntie couldn't bear the blow and jumped into the river. Uncle San's family was destroyed because of Grandma...
And her grandmother, will she feel guilty? No!
Will it hurt? No!
She happily arranged a blind date for her third uncle, saying that her third uncle should be happy if he could marry a wife who could give birth to a son!
Bai Youyou thought about this and slowly exhaled a foul breath, and a sense of anger suddenly arose in his heart...
[Host, the system has detected that the host's inner activities are too volatile and have negative emotions. Please control yourself! ]
Bai Youyou:...What the hell?
[People of the Heavenly Dao have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. They need to do good deeds to make up for the loss of lifespan caused by peeping into the secrets of heaven. The host is chosen not only as a blessing but also as a job given by heaven. Walking between Yin and Yang, the host must not have evil thoughts, otherwise he will be retaliated! ]
