The lock of the main room was opened from the outside.
Mother Jian walked in with a rice bowl.
"Ning Ning..." Jian Ning lay with her eyes closed, pretending not to hear.
Mother Jian walked to the bed and put the rice bowl on the stool beside the bed. She called her softly, "Ning Ning, it's time to have lunch."
Jian Ning turned over, facing away from her.
"..." Jian's mother felt uncomfortable, "Ning Ning, even if you are angry with your parents again, you can't blame yourself. From yesterday to now, you have not eaten or drank all day and night.
Would you like to get up and have something to eat?
Mom went to the supermarket specially to buy your favorite bamboo shoots, chopped some meat stuffing with the bamboo shoots, and made dumplings for you."
"..." "Ning Ning, if mom begs you, please just eat something. If you don't eat, your body won't be able to bear it."
Jian Ning sneered.
"Ning Ning..." "Are you worried that my body won't be able to bear it...or are you worried that I'll be starving and exhausted, and won't be able to sell it at a good price?"
Her voice was hoarse, and her whole body was filled with an aura of indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away.
"..." Mother Jian was speechless by her.
After all, she is her daughter. It is impossible to say that she does not feel distressed at all. Mother Jian sniffed and tears fell, "Ning Ning, don't blame your parents. There is really nothing you can do about it..." "There is no other way."
?”
Jian Ning finally turned over. She saw the tears on Jian's mother's face and felt very calm, "There is no other way... Do you want to convince me or yourself?
There is no way to sacrifice your daughter's lifelong happiness in exchange for money to give your son a wife.
There's nothing you can do to ruin my whole life's future and make me the victim of your son! Mom! There's really nothing you can do about me and my dad! Ha! Mom, do you know that you are the one I hate the most compared to my dad?
Such a face."
Jian's mother was shocked.
"My father at least dares to say that he is selling his daughter just for money! And you... while doing the thing of selling your daughter, you also act like you have no choice but to do it in pain and tangle.
What are you here for?
In order to let me know that you were forced by my father and grandparents, to prevent me from hating you, and to make you feel better."
"Ning Ning..." "Perhaps you still have a trace of mother-daughter affection for me, but this little affection immediately becomes worthless compared to money!"
"..." "My grandma said that when I was born, she advised you and my dad to throw me away. In fact, I would rather you throw me away than grow up in this family with distorted views and patriarchal values.
Let me fend for myself!"
Mother Jian's tears became more and more fierce.
"Ning Ning... you are stabbing your mother in the heart by saying this. Do you think I am really all about money? Mom is also doing it for your own good. I know you are not happy with this marriage, but mom asked about it.
Well, although the Yao family's parents are more powerful, their son's reputation is very good. The person you are going to marry is Yao Hui. As long as he treats you well, his parents will never be able to stay with you forever.
You just have to endure it, and when his parents die, you can be the mistress of the family."
"..." Jian Ning felt that even the sneer was a waste of expression.
"As long as you don't get married, your father will never give up using you in exchange for money.
If that happens, the next family might not be as good as the Yao family, so what will you do then?"
"..." Jian Ning felt that she was talking to a duck.
She simply turned over and turned her back to Mother Jian again.
"Ning Ning... Mom knows that there are some things you don't like to hear, and Mom also knows that you don't want to get married, but men should get married and women should get married. Aren't we women just to find a good family, get married, have children, and take care of the family?
Now that you are making money and spending it alone, you feel like you are living a comfortable life.
But when you get older in the future, and your health deteriorates, if there is no one around you who understands both cold and hot, who will take care of you?"
"..." "People often say that they come to keep company when they are old, just so that they can have a companion when they get old!"
"go out!"
"Ning Ning..." "Get out!"
"..." Mother Jian gave her a complicated look, "Then remember to eat. Mom will go and do the work first."
"..." Jian's mother took two steps before Jian Ning said coldly, "Take Gong Tong out!"
"Okay, okay, I'll clean it and bring it to you. It'll be ready soon."
"..." Mother Jian left the house carrying the bucket.
Because she had to come in later to deliver the wedding bucket, and because Jian Ning had been lying on the bed all day and night without moving, Jian Ning's mother relaxed her vigilance, and the door to the main room was only closed but not locked.
Thumping! Jian Ning's heart was beating wildly.
After confirming that Mother Jian had left, she quietly got out of bed. She leaned over and glanced out of the window. Mother Jian was walking to the toilet carrying a bucket.
The toilets in their rural areas are all in their own yards, and in order to protect privacy, walls are built to block the view.
The yard was quiet, as if no one was there.
That's right! All the female relatives in the family went to the Yao family's home today.
As for Jian's father and Jian Bufan... they are not people who can stay at home honestly, so they are probably not at home at the moment.
I watched my mother disappear into the toilet.
Jian Ning clenched her fists.
That's it now! She crouched and carefully opened the door of the main room. The old wooden door made a slight sound. Fortunately, Jane's mother was far away and didn't notice it at all.
Jian Ning walked out of the main room and rushed to the corridor of the courtyard.
The gate to the yard was bolted from the inside. Jian Ning's heart was beating wildly as she carefully pulled the latch and opened the gate.
"Ning Ning!"
Jian's mother poured the wine bucket and was surprised when she saw Jian Ning at the door of the yard, "Where are you going?"
"..." He was discovered! Jian Ning jumped up and ran! "Ning Ning, come back, come back quickly!"
Jian's mother threw away Gong Tong and chased after her, "You can't leave, come back quickly!"
Jian Ning didn't dare to stop for a moment and ran into a big stride.
Their family lives in the innermost part of the village. People with better conditions have moved to build houses next to the road, so there are not many people near the old house.
As long as she runs out of here and onto the road, she can call for help.
After not eating for a whole day and night, her legs were weak, so Jian Ning relied on sheer perseverance to hold on.
However.
"Ning Ning's father, stop Ning Ning quickly!"
Look up.
Jian Ning suddenly discovered that directly in front of her, Jian's father was striding over with an ugly expression on his face.
Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around and ran away in another direction.
"Jian Ning, stop for me!"
Jian's father and Jian's mother were chasing after him.
Jian Ning's strength was gradually exhausted. Suddenly, her foot stepped on a stone. She screamed, her foot stumbled, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
It's a dirt road, and it won't hurt if you fall.
But.
After such a delay, she desperately discovered that Jian's father and mother behind her had already caught up with her.
