Tang Xue was walking on the country road in a depressed mood. She did not dare to look up at Li Yi.
She knew that Li Yi really liked her and wanted to form a family with her that would be blessed by everyone, especially the blessings from her parents.
However, she really can't do this!
For those so-called family members, Tang Xue felt coldly disappointed.
Seeing that Tang Xue was in a bad mood, Li Yi stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and then said softly: "Don't be unhappy, you have me in everything!"
Li Yi's words seemed to give Tang Xue great courage. She raised her head and looked into Li Yi's eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
"No!" Li Yi said decisively.
This time it was Tang Xue's turn to be confused, and she subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"Because you are my wife, you will naturally tell me what you want to say. If you don't want to say it, it must be inconvenient for me to know. I don't want to embarrass you!" Li Yi said.
Tang Xue was really warmed by Li Yi's words. It turned out that this is the feeling of being cared for and loved by others.
In the past ten years, she had never experienced this feeling.
Tang Xue couldn't bear it any longer, and was not afraid of anyone passing by on the road. She threw herself into Li Yi's arms and burst into tears.
She wants to cry out all the grievances she has suffered over the years!
They say that all parents in the world are bad, but Tang Xue can't figure out why her parents are so cruel.
There are three children in her family. Except for the eldest brother, who is a boy, the remaining two are girls.
She is the second eldest child in the family, with her elder brother Tang Lei and her younger sister Tang Bing.
Tang Xue is at such an embarrassing age with a brother above her and a young sister below, so Tang Xue can understand why she is not taken seriously by her parents.
But what she couldn't understand was that when the policy came down, the Tang family needed a child to go to the countryside to jump in the queue.
It was obvious that her brother was more suitable than her in terms of age and physical fitness to go to the countryside, but her parents did not hesitate to let her jump in the queue.
She was even worried that she would not want to, so her mother signed up without telling her. Tang Xue only found out about it when the assembly order was issued.
When I left, the parents of other families were so distressed and reluctant to leave, and they carried all kinds of big and small bags.
But she came with nothing but some belongings.
In the first year, all educated youths had a hard time, and most of them needed help from their families.
However, instead of sending her a penny, her family even asked her for money.
Originally, her relocation subsidy was only 22 yuan a month, which was not enough for her to eat and drink, and she had to send a few yuan to her family. Tang Xue could not imagine how she survived that period of time.
After crying for more than ten minutes, Tang Xue's crying subsided slightly.
Li Yi did not persuade her, but held her tightly in his arms, and then gently patted her back to make her feel more comfortable when crying and not hold her breath.
He knew that this little girl felt aggrieved, and if she was not allowed to cry, problems would arise over time.
It wasn't until Tang Xue's sobbing became much quieter that Li Yi whispered in her ear: "Okay, stop crying. If you cry again, you won't be beautiful!"
Tang Xue was almost done venting, nodded immediately, and then left Li Yi's warm embrace with some embarrassment.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's two big eyes were swollen from crying, Li Yi said with some distress: "Let's not cry anymore, look at the eyes swollen from crying!"
"I don't want to cry either, I just feel wronged!"
"It's okay. If you have any grievances in the future, just tell me. I am your man, so I should protect you from wind and rain!" Li Yi said.
However, Tang Xue smiled bitterly and shook her head. There were some things that she really couldn't talk about.
For example, she didn't want to notify her parents about her marriage this time. It wasn't that she didn't want their parents' blessing, but that she couldn't.
Tang Xue could completely predict that once her parents found out that she was going to marry a villager, they would definitely come to her door and take her away.
Because they had already arranged a marriage for her, but the person they were going to marry was really too much for Tang Xue to look at.
Li Yi could feel the sadness and despair in Tang Xue's heart. He directly held up Tang Xue's pretty face, stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "I can't control the past things, and I am not qualified to do so, but I will take over from you." The moment you give the betrothal gift to our old Li family, you will be my wife, Li Yi, so your business is my business!"
"You used to have to swallow your anger when you were wronged, but you don't need to now, because I, Li Yi, am capable enough to protect you, and I also hope you can trust me!"
Feeling the sincerity in Li Yi's heart, Tang Xue hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.
After a long time, she wiped the tears from her eyes and calmed down her mood.
"Do you know why I don't want to tell my parents about our wedding?"
"Are they disapproving of our marriage?"
"Um!"
"Is it because of me?" Li Yi asked again.
"no!"
"Is that because they don't want you to marry far away?" Li Yi said again.
"No, it's because they arranged a marriage for me!" Tang Xue said in a surprising tone.
"What?"
To be honest, Li Yi really didn't know about this matter. He didn't find out about it in his previous life, so he was quite shocked at first glance.
Tang Xue smiled bitterly and said: "Last month I suddenly received a letter from my family, and they went through the procedures for me to return to the city. You know, I was so happy when I received the letter. In the past three years, they They wrote me 12 letters in total, but this is the only one that didn’t ask for money!”
"I thought they finally realized their conscience and remembered her, the daughter they had thrown outside. But I never expected that they wanted me to return to the city just to sell me again."
Li Yi immediately said: "What do you mean by selling it again?"
"My mother said in the letter that they have gone through the procedures for me to return to the city, and my job is to go to a textile factory in the county, but the prerequisite is that I agree to the marriage they have set for me."
At this point, Tang Xue showed a hint of sadness in her eyes, and then continued: "You will never imagine what kind of person they are looking for for me!"
Although Li Yi already had the answer in his heart, he still said in a deep voice: "Go on, I want to see how far they can bully my wife!"
Tang Xue said with a trembling tone: "The person they want me to marry is a director of the steel factory where my father works. His surname is Liu! That person is about the same age as my father, or even older."
"It's just that he's old. The most important thing is that that guy is famous for beating his wives. One of his first two wives committed suicide by jumping into a well, and the other one went crazy and was kicked out of the house by him."
Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Why do they do what they do?"
"Because they want to arrange a good job for my sister in the factory, and I am the benefit they give to each other!" Tang Xue said with a sad face.
Li Yi didn't even know what kind of mood he was feeling at this time. He really had an urge to kill.
In his previous life, he only investigated Tang Xue's suicide ten years later when he was slightly prosperous. Since more than ten years had passed by then, many things could not be investigated clearly.
So the result of Li Yi's investigation was that when Tang Xue returned home, she found that her sister had gotten together with the man she had liked for more than ten years. The whole family seemed to know about it, but they did not tell her.
Tang Xue could not accept this fact and finally committed suicide by drowning in the river.
But now it seems that there is still a secret behind Tang Xue's suicide, but he didn't investigate it clearly.
