The sun shines on the river like broken stars.
Wang Xue looked at Lin Nianhe with cold eyes.
She was originally very good-looking. The girl from the south of the Yangtze River, who was born in the land of plenty, was gentle and gentle even when she was competing with her stepmother.
But that was all in the past. The sun tanned her skin, the northwest wind chafed her face, and even her hair was not as black and shiny as before.
It had been a long time since she had taken a good look at herself in the mirror. In other words, she has never looked in the mirror since she went to the countryside. Occasionally she saw her reflection in the water tank, and she hid in panic, fearing that she could see herself clearly.
At this moment, she looked at Lin Nianhe's white and tender face, frowned and said again: "Lin Nianhe, you don't understand anything at all."
"You're not worried about life at all. You go to the countryside? Ha, it's just like going out for an outing... It's a joke. Even if you don't work, you have your family to support you and your brother next door to accompany you and coax you. But what about me? We? Woolen cloth?"
"If we don't work to earn work points, we will go hungry. We have no way or money to get a place to go back to the city. The only one we can rely on is ourselves!"
"Everyone knows that Magnolia is pitiful. But you don't know that Xiangqin was sent to her grandma's house since she was a child. She only saw her parents three or four times before going to the countryside. You also don't know that I have wanted to eat since I was a child. An egg would cause a stir so that the whole neighborhood would know about it..."
"You don't know anything, why should you look down on me? I just want to live a better life for myself. Am I wrong?"
She looked at Lin Nianhe intently, with sarcasm in her eyes, as if asking: People who don't know how hard life is, why do you accuse me so high and mighty?
Lin Nianhe looked at her quietly without giving in.
She came to Wang Xue not because she wanted to save the values of a love rival who had been rejected once.
She just doesn't want Wang Xue to lead her into a dead end, then hate her, and find trouble with her in the future, no matter what, and delay her from making money.
Falling in love is already very troublesome, and she doesn't want to make it more difficult for herself.
"You are pitiful, Tie Hammer is pitiful, and Yu Xiangqin is pitiful... But do you really think that catching a man can change your destiny? Girl, you have such a beautiful idea."
Lin Nianhe looked at Wang Xue and shook his head slowly.
"The Su family's family background is similar to mine. Although everyone is equal, do you really think that marriage is just a matter of two people? If you really marry him and he takes you back to the capital, what will happen in the future? Even without me , you will also face countless beautiful girls with similar family backgrounds as him, or girls with average family backgrounds, but one is younger and more beautiful than the other."
"You will get older and older, and your family background and appearance will not compare... You will start to be suspicious, start to quarrel with him, and then break up and get divorced. Maybe you have a child, but you can't win the custody of the child."
"At that time, you will be a divorced woman from other places, with no job and no support, and even the beauty you once used will no longer exist. How are you going to live at that time?"
Lin Nianhe's voice was very calm, stating the most heart-wrenching reality as if stating the facts.
Yes, reality.
She had seen too many such things before.
She slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Of course, the most likely thing that will happen is that he abandons you and returns to the capital by himself."
Wang Xue looked at her and felt a big hand holding her throat, making her unable to breathe.
Lin Nianhe saw that her face was pale and shaky, and he was really worried that she would not be able to bear it and plunged into the river.
The water in the river was strangely cold, and she didn't want to go into the river to fish for her.
Lin Nianhe was silent for a moment, reached out and patted her shoulder, and poured her a bowl of chicken soup: "Aunt Wang has been talking about women holding up half the sky all day, but she still can't wake you up? Girl, never put your hopes on others, only you. You are the one who cares most about your own life.”
Wang Xue felt the hand on his shoulder was warm.
She looked at Lin Nianhe intently for a while, and finally found her voice: "What about you? You're not..."
"I'm not," Lin Nianhe retracted his hand and stretched, "I'm young, I'm five years younger than him, I'm good-looking, well, I can't tan... I have a family background that rivals his."
Wang Xue: "..."
Is this really comfort? Why did she want to whip her more and more the more she listened?
Lin Nianhe put down his hand and looked at her sideways: "Think about it for yourself, I'm going back to read."
After she finished speaking, she left without any further intention of persuading her.
"As you said, he's not that good. Why do you like him?" Wang Xue shouted at her back.
Lin Nianhe stopped.
"Well, he happens to have a face that I like."
Lin Nianhe pursed his lips and smiled lowly before leaving.
Wang Xue looked at her back for a long time, tears streaking down her face.
She didn't wipe her tears, but whispered: "It's so enviable..."
She would never know that the person she envied was the only person in the world who truly had no relatives.
However, no one could talk about her loneliness, and no one thought she would be unhappy.
In this strange age, she carefully hid her secrets, taking one step at a time and thinking ten steps ahead.
"so annoying!"
Lin Nianhe pushed the account book and lay on the table irritably.
If you don’t make any money this month, you may not be able to do business stably next month.
This made Lin Nianhe panic.
As a prophet who knows the economic direction in the next few decades, she is working hard to accumulate capital and plan for the future.
I thought I would find a stable source of income, but it turned out to be bad due to external factors.
It was obvious from what happened yesterday that she didn't just happen to pass by, and neither did Su Yuncheng.
That group of people was probably the characters related to the case Su Yuncheng was investigating recently. Su Yuncheng told her more than once not to go to town recently, and then think about what Uncle Liu said about the black market fights before...
Lin Nianhe's brain was working rapidly, thinking hard... and then he took out a book of "Sherlock Holmes".
Facing this set of hardcover books, Comrade Xiaolin clasped his hands together and made a sincere wish:
"Mr. Holmes, although it's a little far away, I still want to go across the ocean and possess me... Well, are you dead now? How about I pay homage to Di Renjie? You can just ask for a dream. !”
Lin Nianhe gave up. This kind of thing was not something she, who had only watched dozens of episodes of Conan, could figure out.
She was thinking about which book to look for Di Renjie in, when she suddenly heard footsteps.
Very urgent footsteps.
"Quick, quick! Sun Guanghui and Wang Dong fell into a trap and were injured!"
An urgent voice came from the front yard.
All the girls who stayed in the educated youth camp ran out, including Lin Nianhe.
Fu Aiguo held the door frame with one hand and said out of breath: "Help, everyone, go and find the captain... Sun Guanghui's leg was caught in the animal trap. I, we don't have a rope, pull... I can’t pull him up…”
