Originally, Xia Ju thought that she would never meet the man who saved her again in her life.
But she didn't expect that her rescue after falling into the water happened to be seen by people passing by.
One of them also knew the man who rescued her. He was Li Xinde from the Li family in Nomo Town, and he was a scholar.
It was also that day that Xia Ju learned the name of the person who rescued her.
No wonder the temperaments are so different.
He turned out to be a scholar.
Then, when my mother found out about this, she said she wanted to thank him.
At that time, she believed it was true, and she wanted to see her savior from the bottom of her heart.
Although she knew it was impossible between them, she still wanted to thank him.
But what she never expected was that when she arrived at the Li family, instead of thanking the Li family, her mother threatened the Li family to marry her on the grounds that her innocence had been ruined.
Xia Ju was panicked.
The Li family became even more angry after hearing her mother's threats and drove them out mercilessly.
At that time, she was so ashamed.
But nevertheless.
My mother still didn't give up the idea. Even though she said it was not good, my mother not only didn't listen, but even tried to persuade her as if it was for her own good.
"Xiaoju, mom, this is for your own good!"
"You have a growth on your face. It was difficult to get married in the first place, and now your body is being touched by a strange man. What husband would want a daughter-in-law like this!"
"Listen to mother, mother will make the decision for you!"
And then, what happened in Nomo Town.
Xia Ju felt that she was sorry for her savior.
She felt that if she was not forced to marry her, her future savior would definitely marry a beautiful, virtuous and virtuous girl from Shiliba Village.
That girl must know how to read.
It's not like she doesn't know anything.
"It's better to tell your parents that the marriage is over!"
The more Xia Ju thought about it, the more ashamed she became.
She felt that she was not worthy of her savior.
The savior is as noble as a god, but she is as humble as dust.
"Girl, the firewood is almost burning!"
At this time, Liu Donghai walked in carrying a washed hen.
Xia Ju came back to her senses,
As soon as I saw that the firewood was about to be burned, I hurriedly picked up a piece of firewood and rubbed the burned firewood into the stove.
"Girl, what were you thinking about just now?" Liu Donghai said with a smile.
"No!" Xia Ju shook her head in denial.
"You girl will clench your hands whenever you tell lies. Tell me, are you thinking about the Li family?"
A true daughter is like a father, Liu Donghai can still tell what his eldest daughter is thinking.
"Dad, I think it's better to forget about this marriage!"
Xia Ju's cheeks turned red, her head lowered, and she plucked up her courage.
"Girl, I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable. They obviously saved you out of good intentions, but we repaid them with kindness and forced them to do things they didn't want to do!"
Liu Donghai was silent for a while, sighed, wiped his rough hands on the corners of his clothes, and reached out to touch Xia Ju's head.
"But dad won't cancel this marriage?"
Xia Ju suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.
In this family, only her father is good to her. Like other children, she also thinks that her father is an omnipotent person.
"Even if you blame Dad, Dad will not support you in withdrawing from this marriage. Although our family does feel sorry for the Li family by doing this, I feel sorry for you more than being resented by the Li family!"
Liu Donghai's rough hands gradually lifted up the long hair that covered half of Xia Ju's face, his eyes full of pity and heartache.
"Last month, matchmaker Liu from the village came to tell you that she was going to marry you, but who was she? A widower in his fifties.
You are older than me and lame, dad, how can you allow you to marry such a person?"
When Liu Donghai mentioned this, he felt angry in his heart.
His eldest daughter just has a growth on her face, but she is also a young girl. How can she marry a man who can be a grandfather?
Xia Ju lowered her head and said nothing.
Of course she knew this.
At that time, my father was very angry and kicked him out.
But Matchmaker Liu was very unconvinced and called out to her outside the door, saying that she was so ugly that it would be great if someone wanted her, and she was being picky.
Later, my father and mother had a fight over this.
Because my mother said that although the widower was in his fifties, he was a bit older, but he cared for others, and he married him just to enjoy the blessings.
But my father said that my mother was only doing it for the five taels of betrothal gift given by others.
You know, dad usually listens to mom on everything, but he doesn't listen to mom on this matter.
After that, her mother came to persuade her, saying that the family was in trouble and it was not easy to raise her so big. Her younger brother needed to study, and her younger sister would need a dowry when she got married, etc.
At that time, Xia Ju almost agreed.
Liu Donghai continued:
"But the Li family is different. Let's not talk about the Li family's family situation. Let's just say that the person who saved you, girl, is about the same age as you, girl, and he is also a scholar.
Rather than letting you marry that widower who is in his fifties, dad would rather lose this man and be unable to raise his head in the ten miles and eight villages, and let the Li family marry you.
If you want to complain, just complain that dad is incompetent and useless!"
Liu Donghai's voice became deeper and deeper, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"Dad, I don't blame you! I just... I just feel sorry for my savior. I'm afraid that my savior will dislike me!"
Xia Ju shook her head violently, her eyes becoming moist.
"I know, I know, our girl has always been kind at heart!"
Liu Donghai held the crying Xia Ju in his arms and comforted:
"Girl, the men in Nomo Town are good men in our area of dozens of miles. They will never dislike their wives.
As long as the girl gets married, is filial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, is a good wife, and gives birth to a few fat boys for the Li family, who can say that the girl is wrong!"
When she heard her father talking about giving birth to some fat boys for the Li family, Xia Ju blushed so much that she felt like smoke was coming out of her head.
"Dad, what did I say?"
"Oh, my daughter is also shy!"
Liu Donghai smiled and stroked Xia Ju's hair.
"Dad, I want to cook, get out quickly!"
Xia Ju was so embarrassed that she pushed Liu Donghai out of the kitchen.
…
Early the next morning.
Bu Fan stretched under the eaves, and when he saw this girl Xiaoman cleaning the yard, he immediately joked:
"Hey, isn't this my diligent eldest daughter? Why didn't you practice in the house today? Why did you start cleaning so early in the morning?"
[Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, this man is menopausal, just turn a deaf ear to his words]
Xiaoman kept thinking silently in his heart and ignored Bu Fan.
Bu Fan shrugged.
It seems that I can’t brush off negative emotions today.
"Mayor, something big happened!"
But at this moment, a vigorous figure rushed in suddenly.
"What's the big deal so early in the morning!"
Seeing that it was Song Leizi, Bu Fan walked to the stone table and sat down. He immediately shouted to Xiao Man who was sweeping the floor: "My dear, there are guests here, why don't you go and serve tea!"
[Lai Zhi Xiaoman’s Negative Emotions 111]
Bu Fan smiled.
It seems that this girl's endurance is not very good.
Xiao Man glanced at him coldly, put the broom aside, and strode to the kitchen.
"Tell me, did something happen to the boss's family again?"
