"Gu Yu, why are you still wearing this outfit? Didn't I make you a new outfit?"
Qiu's mother had been busy in the kitchen all morning, and when she took the time to see her daughter, she found that the child was still wearing her usual clothes.
He was covered in dust, and there were obvious patches on his knees and elbows.
Her hair was neatly combed, but there was no rouge on her face.
Oops, what's going on with this kid?
Don’t wear new clothes, don’t use rouge?
Does she still remember what day today is?
The Huo family came to propose marriage at noon, although the marriage was already a certainty.
However, if a daughter is too careless, her husband's family will be unhappy.
At that time, it will still be your own children who will suffer.
Mother Qiu kept mumbling, but kept her hands on her. She dug out a newly made red coat and a pair of black trousers from Qiu Guyu's kang cabinet.
"Put it on! Hurry! They will be here soon!"
Mother Qiu threw the clothes on the bed and started playing with the rouge again.
Tsk tsk, just such a small box cost her nearly one yuan. These days, a pound of pork only costs 80 cents.
This little rouge is enough to buy more than a pound of pork!
Qiu's mother recalled the makeup of the salesperson in the county department store in her mind. She carefully applied rouge with her face puff and reached out to paint Qiu Guyu's two big red cheeks.
Qiu Guyu quickly flashed past.
In the past few days, she has been recalling that dream.
Putting aside the bad memories about her life in the dream, the development of the entire society and the rich material enjoyment really made her extremely novel and eager.
It turns out that China was so prosperous thirty years later.
The common people no longer have enough to eat and no warmth to wear. Without food stamps and meat stamps, as long as they are willing to work, they can have enough to eat, keep warm and have meat for every meal.
There are also those fully functional home appliances, as well as those dazzling clothes and cosmetics!
Unknowingly, Qiu Guyu had believed everything in the dream and began to accept those new things.
It's not that she's not determined enough, it's just that the dream is too real.
When she recalled it, all the details were still clear.
It's not like she's had a dream, it's more like she's experienced a life and started over again!
Reborn!
This is a word she knew in her dream.
Her dream seemed to make her reborn.
After these experiences, Qiu Guyu is a little uncomfortable with everything now.
For example, the red coat that her mother made for her was a tacky red color and the style was very old.
When worn on the body, not only is it not very festive, but it looks very earthy.
And that rouge!
Hey, she also went to the department store in the county.
The salesperson's makeup, which everyone praised as fashionable and beautiful, looked like an eyesore to Qiu Guyu.
The rouge was applied all over the face, abrupt and eye-catching, just like a monkey's butt.
And the mouth was so red that it looked like it had eaten a dead child.
Oh, by the way, there are also caterpillar eyebrows painted with blackened matchsticks. It’s really hard to describe.
If it hadn't been for that dream, she would have felt that the salespersons were particularly foreign, just like her mother.
But she had a dream about the "future". Those clothes and makeup were really unacceptable to Qiu Guyu!
"You damn girl, what are you hiding from! Put on the rouge quickly!"
"...I finally bought such an expensive thing, but you still dislike it? You girl, what on earth do you want to do?"
Mother Qiu finally realized something was wrong with her daughter.
She took the rouge box and struggled for a while, but she couldn't put it on her daughter.
She couldn't help but listen and looked at Qiu Guyu up and down. Suddenly, she had an idea and blurted out: "Gu Yu, are you not happy with the Huo family's marriage?"
At first, she asked her daughter.
Although the daughter didn't nod, she didn't refuse either.
Qiu's mother knew that it was indeed aggrieved to be the stepmother of three children.
However, the conditions of the Huo family are good.
The deputy battalion commander in his twenties has connections in his family.
It will definitely go up in the future.
My daughter went to join the army. Although the island was a little harder, with Huo Yuanzheng's salary and allowance, my daughter only had to take care of the family.
No need to work in the fields, no need to be exposed to wind and rain, how wonderful it is!
Even if Huo Yuanzheng becomes a professional in the future, he will be able to return to the capital and arrange work.
By that time, her family, Guyu, was a serious city dweller.
Isn’t it a hundred times better than digging for food in the countryside?!
Compared with these, stepmother and so on are nothing!
Aren't there just three children? The oldest is only six years old, and they will become mature as time goes by.
Even if he is not well-raised, Huo Yuanzheng is not very old. If his daughter gives birth to a few children, she will rely on him in the future.
Qiu's mother and Qiu's father had secretly discussed this many times.
After much calculation, they all thought it would be best to marry Huo Yuanzheng.
All the marriage matters have been settled. The Huo family came to propose marriage today, just to go through the motions and give the woman the dignity she deserves.
At this time, Gu Yu showed resistance, she, what on earth was she thinking?!
"Mom, I, I don't want to be a stepmother!"
Qiu Guyu waited for two days and finally saw the same scene as in his dream——
The Huo family proposes marriage!
Her own mother also made her a filthy red gown.
Even if Qiu Guyu resists everything in his dream, he still has to think about it.
Perhaps, the ancestors really felt sorry for her and specifically asked the Bodhisattva to give her a warning in her dream.
Moreover, leaving aside this dream, the original Qiu Guyu was somewhat resistant to being a stepmother.
It's just that she used to be too sensible and obedient, and was used to letting her elders arrange everything.
The feudal dross of obeying your father at home and your husband when you get married has long been eradicated.
And this concept is still deeply engraved in the bones of the indigenous Qiu Guyu.
She is just a docile traditional Chinese woman!
However, everything in the dream was too real and too tragic.
Qiu Guyu, who was already unhappy, finally had a reason to object.
"I, I haven't given birth to a child yet, and after that, I will be the mother of three children!"
"Mom, I'm afraid! I don't know what I'm doing! As the saying goes, it's hard to be a stepmother. If you're not your own biological child, whatever I do is wrong!"
Qiu Guyu recalled the scene in his dream and said sadly: "I definitely don't have bad intentions, but people outside don't think so!"
"Not to mention outsiders, even Huo Yuanzheng's biological mother and my future mother-in-law are probably on guard against me!"
"They have determined that I am a stepmother and I will definitely abuse my three children."
"When my children make mistakes, I don't care or care about them! No matter what I do, they can find faults!"
"Mom, I, I am only nineteen years old this year. If I go to the island, I will be surrounded by military wives I don't know. They, I -"
The more Qiu Guyu thought about it, the sadder he became, and he felt an inexplicable fear.
She doesn't want to!
She really didn't want to spend more than ten years of hard work, but she raised three white-eyed wolves, and in the end she ended up alone and alone.
"...You kid, you just keep talking, why are you crying?"
Although Mother Qiu is curious about the conditions of the Huo family, she is not someone who does not love her daughter.
Qiu Guyu is still her first child. For the couple, this eldest daughter still has some status.
Seeing her daughter's face full of sadness, with tears falling like broken beads, Mother Qiu also felt a little distressed.
"The Huo family should not be like this! Your grandfather and Mr. Huo are old friends!"
Mother Qiu was confused and looked for excuses to comfort her.
As soon as she said these words, Qiu's mother shook her head secretly.
Grandpa Qiu and Mr. Huo say they are old friends, but their identities are too unequal.
In recent years, the Huo family has helped the Qiu family a lot.
Eaters are short-tongued, and predators are soft-handed.
It is really difficult for Grandpa Qiu and the entire Qiu family to stand upright in front of the Huo family.
Alas, there is no way, people are poor and have short ambitions.
The same is true for this marriage.
Logically speaking, Huo Yuanzheng's conditions are not that good.
Even without a "family friend" like the Qiu family, he had three children and wanted to find a wife, so he could only find one in the countryside.
Qiu Guyu's conditions are absolutely worthy of Huo Yuanzheng's.
But when Huo's mother came to Qiu's house, she was still so condescending.
The way he looked at Qiu Guyu was critical.
It seems that marrying the first son of his second marriage, who has three losers, is a blessing that Qiu Guyu has cultivated in his eight lifetimes.
Qiu Guyu should be grateful and obediently work for the Huo family!
Huo's mother didn't say anything openly. After all, her identity required a minimum of restraint.
However, the contempt revealed from Huo's mother's eyes was still very obvious.
Not to mention Qiu Guyu, the person involved, even Qiu's father and Qiu's mother were also aware of it.
Although the Qiu family and his wife feel awkward, the reality is like this——
The Huo family has good conditions, and the Qiu family will still count on the Huo family in the future!
Naturally, they had no confidence in front of Mother Huo.
Furthermore, Huo's mother was arrogant, but she didn't say it clearly, which at least gave the Qiu family dignity.
The Qiu family just endured it.
At this moment, Qiu Guyu cried and deliberately mentioned Huo's mother.
Mother Qiu also felt unhappy.
Yes, Mother Huo originally looked down upon their Guyu.
When Guyu walked through the door, there were three children in the middle. It was no longer a simple conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Mother Qiu is also a daughter-in-law, and she will also marry a daughter-in-law in the future. The back and forth between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is clear to her!
Therefore, just by thinking about it, she could predict what her daughter would suffer if she married into the Huo family.
"Yes, but the marriage has been decided, and they will bring a matchmaker to officially make the engagement at noon -"
Mother Qiu said hesitantly.
She was actually a little shaken.
Just because of the formality, I had to continue to persuade my daughter.
Qiu Guyu almost blurted out, "Isn't there still Xiaoxue?"
However, her reason and outlook finally made her swallow her words.
Do unto others, do not impose on others!
Qiu Guyu knew that he was not a hero who sacrificed himself for others, but he was also not a villain who deliberately deceived others.
She felt that the Huo family was a pit of fire and she was unwilling to jump into it.
Why let someone else take her place?
"Come to get engaged, which means you haven't got engaged yet!"
Even if you get engaged but don't hold a banquet or get a certificate, you can still regret it.
Qiu Guyu made up his mind: "Mom, I don't want to be someone's stepmother. I, I don't want to marry Huo Yuanzheng!"
She didn't say anything harsh.
Mother Qiu knows her daughter well. She usually seems sensible and obedient, but if she gets into trouble, she can be stubborn!
If she is pushed too hard, whether her daughter is seeking death or not, she will definitely make a fuss about today's engagement.
By then, you will really offend the Huo family!
"...You kid! You, you, alas!"
Seeing her daughter's calm but stubborn look, Mother Qiu lowered her raised hand.
She threw down the rouge box, walked out of the door in a hurry, and went to the field to call Father Qiu back.
The couple gathered together and chatted for a long time.
Father Qiu looked very ugly. He turned around and looked at Qiu Guyu's closed door, wanting to rush over and scold him.
Finally, he endured it.
"Alas! Children are all debts! They are all debts!"
Father Qiu sighed, hunched his shoulders and ran to find Mr. Qiu.
Qiu Xiaoxue hid in the backyard, appearing to be chopping chicken food, but actually eavesdropping with her ears erect.
She heard everything going on in the front yard.
Father Qiu came back and went out. Later, Grandpa Qiu was also called back, and Grandpa Qiu's curses could be heard in the yard.
"It's done!"
Qiu Xiaoxue clenched her fist.
She dared to conclude that Qiu Guyu must have been frightened by that dream and refused to marry Huo Yuanzheng again.
Maybe, her cheap cousin wants to make an exchange with her——
After all, in the dream that Qiu Xiaoxue created for Qiu Guyu, Su Chuangui became the richest man in the provincial capital.
No one will refuse to actively embrace the golden leg of the boss after being able to predict the future.
So what if Qiu Guyu is the heroine?
After all, she is a normal person.
And people, regardless of gender, are actually greedy for vanity deep down.
Knowing that there is a person who will become the richest man in the future, with endless wealth and a very high social status, everyone in the world will be excited.
It has nothing to do with character, but is due to human nature.
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Qiu Xiaoxue's eyes.
She deliberately set up such a plot in her dream.
She wanted to test whether the noble heroine could withstand the temptation of money.
Qiu Xiaoxue is full of expectations, waiting for a new round of good shows to be staged.
On Qiu Guyu's side, even when faced with Grandpa Qiu's black face, she was very persistent——
"Grandpa, I know you do it for my own good and want me to live a good life, so you specifically left the Huo family's marriage to me!"
"But I really don't want to be someone's stepmother. It's a thankless task, and I won't get the rewards I deserve even if I put in all my heart and soul."
"...I would rather not marry than marry Huo Yuanzheng!"
Qiu Guyu frowned and still didn't say anything threatening, but her attitude was very firm.
Grandpa Qiu stared at Qiu Guyu for a long time, then sneered, "Okay! You don't want to! I won't force you!"
"As long as you don't regret it in the future!"
The old Qiu family does not only have one granddaughter.
He also has Xiaoxue, who is still a high school student and has better conditions than Gu Yu!
The Huo family just wanted a wife who would take care of their children and serve their men, not Qiu Guyu!
"I don't regret it! Grandpa, I made a wrong choice, and I don't regret it either!"
Qiu Guyu saw that his grandfather finally relaxed, and his tense nerves relaxed.
Qiu Xiaoxue saw her task progress bar——
Hehe, ten percent progress!
It seems that the destined marriage between the male protagonist and the female protagonist has been successfully broken by her!
