Chen Jiujiu regretted it. If she hadn't been greedy when she was young, she would be like Huang Yixiao's wife now, living by his side, the two of them loving each other happily.
If she could do it all over again, she would rather suffer and be tired to marry Huang Yixiao.
When Jiujiu opened her eyes, the rims of her eyes were a little sore and her eyes were very dry. It could be seen that the original owner must have cried all night.
Lowering her eyes and thinking, Jiujiu remembered that yesterday was when Chen Zhangsheng told Chen Jiujiu that she would be betrothed to Huang Yixiao.
Huang Yixiao's family situation was clear to everyone in the surrounding villages. Not to mention having some savings, he had no savings at all and was heavily in debt. Most girls wouldn't be willing to marry Huang Yixiao, let alone Chen Jiujiu. She had been beautiful since she was young and was a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. She felt that with her appearance, she would definitely have a happy life in the future. But who knew that her father would marry her to Huang Yixiao because of a word of kindness?
Chen Zhangsheng's family only had one daughter, Chen Jiujiu. Although the family didn't have money and Chen Jiujiu had to cook and do farm work like other mountain girls, Chen Zhangsheng would still give Chen Jiujiu what he could give her. And because she had been praised since she was young, Chen Jiujiu's aspirations were not ordinary. She didn't like a person like Huang Yixiao at all, let alone marry him.
Last night, Chen Jiujiu told Chen Zhangsheng that she didn't want to marry Huang Yixiao, but Chen Zhangsheng told her that Huang Yixiao would definitely have a great future and bluntly rejected Chen Jiujiu. Because of Chen Zhangsheng's rejection, Chen Jiujiu cried all night. When she woke up today, her eyelids were as red as two small peaches.
Regarding Chen Zhangsheng's assertion that Huang Yixiao would have a great future, Jiujiu couldn't help but praise Chen Zhangsheng's good eyesight. Huang Yixiao would have a great future, but it was a pity that the villagers were short-sighted and couldn't understand.
In order to fulfill Chen Jiujiu's wish, Jiujiu naturally had to marry Huang Yixiao.
After thinking about these things, Jiujiu directly climbed out of bed. She rubbed her sore eyes and went outside to fetch a basin of water. She used a coarse cloth cloth to cool her eyelids and felt that her eyelids were a little less swollen. She then washed her face and walked out.
Chen Zhangsheng and his wife had already woken up. Seeing Jiujiu walk out with red and swollen eyelids, Chen Zhangsheng and his wife revealed a distressed expression. Especially Chen Zhangsheng's wife, Ma Juhua, who was so distressed that her face scrunched up. When she thought about why her daughter had cried like this last night, she unhappily glared at Chen Zhangsheng and took small steps forward to greet them. She pulled on Jiujiu's hand and said, "Jiujiu, are you hungry? Mom made your favorite candy buns today, eat more later. "
Being fiercely waited by his wife, Chen Zhangsheng's heart didn't feel good. Although his heart ached for his daughter, when he thought of Huang Yixiao's character, his heart once again became firm.
Although Huang Yixiao was currently penniless and had nothing, why did he become like this? It was all because he had to treat his seriously ill father. Even with such a busy and stressful situation, Huang Yixiao was still able to pass the county level exam. Huang Yixiao's talent was evident.
Moreover, when his father passed away and his mother was paralyzed in bed, he even put down his face as a county level scholar to work to earn money. He also carefully took care of his mother and didn't abandon her because his family was poor at all. Moreover, when Chen Zhangsheng brought up the matter of marriage, he took the initiative to reject Chen Zhangsheng.
Huang Yixiao said that his family was too poor and that if she married him, she would have to suffer with him. Jiujiu was a good girl and deserved a better life. She shouldn't suffer with him.
Just based on this sentence, Chen Zhangsheng also felt that he must have Huang Yixiao as his son-in-law.
However, although he understood that Huang Yixiao was a good man who was responsible and had a bright future, right now, Jiujiu and Ma Juhua didn't know. When he thought of how Jiujiu cried the whole night because she was going to marry Huang Yixiao, Chen Zhangsheng's heart was extremely worried.
Even if Jiujiu married Huang Yixiao under his insistence, if she was unwilling to have a good life with Huang Yixiao because of this, that still wouldn't do.
Chen Zhangsheng's eyebrows were knitted together as he looked at Jiujiu who was not far away talking to Ma Juhua. His heart was extremely worried.
Ma Juhua asked Jiujiu to eat breakfast while saying cautiously, "Jiujiu, what do you think of what your father said last night?"
Ma Juhua was testing Jiujiu. If Jiujiu really didn't agree, even if she had to fall out with Chen Zhangsheng, she would fight for Jiujiu. Their family's daughter was good, but in the end, she had to marry Huang Yixiao, an old and poor man. Who would feel good in their heart?
Although Jiujiu was beautiful, Ma Juhua was not a person who lost her mind because of Chen Jiujiu's beauty. She didn't want Chen Jiujiu to marry a rich family, but she didn't want Chen Jiujiu to marry a person who couldn't even ensure that his family had enough to eat and wear.
The child was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, but Chen Zhangsheng wanted to marry Chen Jiujiu to Huang Yixiao and let Chen Jiujiu suffer in the future. Ma Juhua couldn't bear it at all.
At that time, Chen Jiujiu made a fuss about canceling the marriage contract because of Ma Juhua's great help.
Now as soon as Ma Juhua said this, Jiujiu knew that Ma Juhua wanted to help her. Unfortunately, the person who didn't want to agree was Jiujiu, not her.
It was just that she refused with a sad face last night. If she agreed today, it would definitely attract Chen Zhangsheng's attention.
Therefore, Jiujiu's face first had a sad expression. She lowered her red and swollen eyelids and said softly, "I'll listen to Dad."
Although she said that she would listen to Chen Zhangsheng, Jiujiu's expression was particularly sad. It could be seen that she didn't want to agree, but because of Chen Zhangsheng's words, because of her parents' orders, she had no choice but to agree.
If Jiujiu showed a little reluctance, Ma Juhua would definitely fight for it. But now that Jiujiu had accepted her fate, Ma Juhua didn't know what to say. Looking at Jiujiu's haggard appearance with red and swollen eyelids, Ma Juhua sighed softly and turned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Jiujiu.
When Chen Zhangsheng saw Jiujiu's haggard and sad appearance, he naturally didn't feel good either. However, Huang Yixiao was a good man and definitely had a bright future. Although the days now were a bit miserable, it was still worth it for the good days in the future.
Moreover, he only had one daughter, Jiujiu. Although a married daughter was like spilled water, Huang Yixiao's family only had a few dilapidated thatched cottages. After he married Jiujiu, they would directly move in. In the future, the two of them would help Jiujiu take care of Huang Yixiao's bedridden mother, while Jiujiu only needed to take care of Huang Yixiao. Moreover, Huang Yixiao didn't need to take care of his mother, so he naturally had enough time to prepare for the provincial examination in three years.
