The girls were chatting and laughing, seeming to have forgotten their previous depression due to Queer's marriage.
But after all, it’s just “as if”.
When several girls were talking about Mu Xingzhi's demeanor and how he always sat so calmly, even if he was leaning on the back or armrests of his wheelchair, he never looked hunched over or sloppy, Liu Er He joked: "Speaking of which, Sister Que'er just likes to imitate Mr. Mu's posture..."
This sentence seemed to break some kind of taboo, instantly destroying the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere just a moment ago, causing everyone to fall silent unconsciously.
Seeing this, Tian Xing'er glanced at her companions from the corner of her eye, and reluctantly cheered up to comfort everyone: "Let's not worry about anything here first, what if... what if the Chen family... I'm older, but I know how cold it is and how warm I am, and I don't have to worry too much when my son is older..."
As he talked, this kind of words that couldn't even be called "comfort" and could barely be regarded as "self-deception" made Myolie Tian's voice become weaker and weaker, and she became less and less confident.
Su Qingluan remained silent along the way and said nothing.
She is able to transcend the current limitations of time and space and expand her perspective to a broader scope. But even if we look at the couples in history who were "well-matched" and had "talented men and beautiful women", there are very few who can be happy and beautiful, and more of them are just unreasonable feelings such as the resentment of the unloving husband and the girlfriend.
What's more, when it comes to Que'er's marriage, her parents are all focused on "selling their daughter" without any regard for her happiness or future. Not only is the other party old enough to be a father, but he also looks like he is not going to die soon. sick rice seedlings.
The parents are unreliable, and neither is the husband's family. To say this kind of marriage is a fire pit would be putting it mildly.
However, Su Qingluan couldn't even console him by saying, "At best, just leave, who can force you to do anything else?" This was a normal thing in his previous life.
Because in this era, "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers" can really force a person in a sense!
If he ran away regardless and had no household registration, Que'er would be unable to move forward. If he was caught and made a slave, no one would bother him!
Compared to the bitter and resentful looks on the faces of several girls including Su Qingluan, Que'er, as the soon-to-be-married bride, had a relatively calm demeanor - except for the slightly red tears at the corners of her eyes that gave her away.
"Don't worry," Que'er stroked the red cloth used to make the wedding dress. "Life can still go on. No matter what, the difficulties will eventually pass."
After saying that, she even started discussing with some friends who came to visit her what kind of patterns to embroider on wedding dresses and wedding dresses, and what kind of silk threads should be used to be more beautiful.
Que'er seems to be really looking forward to her upcoming marriage - if it weren't for the envious look in her eyes when several girls talked about the new styles of hairpins and various rouges and gouache in the market outside.
Su Qingluan remembered that everyone had talked about their own troubles before, and Que'er was the first to comfort everyone like this. And even if she knew that she was about to enter a very difficult marriage, her first thought was that she could not disobey her father, otherwise her mother would be beaten.
She has always been a considerate girl.
However, now, this attentive and considerate girl has been pushed into an irresistible whirlpool by her biological parents, but she still smiles calmly.
An inexplicable unwillingness surged in her heart, causing her to subconsciously hold on to the hem of her clothes tightly.
Suddenly, there was a strange paper-like feeling in the palm of my hand - was that...?
Su Qingluan narrowed his eyes and made up his mind.
No matter how reluctant the girls were, they couldn't stay at Que'er's house forever, not to mention that Que'er's father was sitting in the yard, murmuring and scolding people.
Su Qingluan wanted to "repay" Que'er's father, but she was afraid that Que'er would be caught in the middle and was even more worried that they would leave later. If this man didn't get his way, he would take it out on his daughter. Speaking too quickly at the moment is not worth the gain.
After thinking about it, she excused herself as a poor actress and didn't want to be laughed at by Tian Xing'er and others. Que'er had a good temper and was good at female celebrities, so she wanted to ask for advice alone, so she stayed until the end when only she and Que'er were left in the room. people.
Que'er put away the red cloth used for her wedding dress, took out the needlework fabric and stretchers used for ordinary embroidery, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to ask Da Ya?"
Su Qingluan walked forward slowly. When he was only one step away from Que'er, he slowly squatted down and glanced at the people outside the wooden lattice window. People couldn't see here, so he quickly took out a small bag from his arms. He quickly pulled something out of the small cloth purse and placed it in Que'er's hand.
"Is this...?" Que'er's eyes widened in surprise.
"Shh..." Su Qingluan pressed her index finger on Que'er's lips, "Sister, I'm good at needlework. It's best to sew it close to your body inside your clothes, just in case you need it."
Que'er opened her palm slightly and saw that lying in her palm was a ten-tael silver note!
A family of five usually only needs three to five taels for a month. These ten taels of silver notes are a huge sum of money for Que'er!
If she saves some money, this banknote can even guarantee her food and clothing for at least half a year!
She was shocked, her hands shook, and she hurriedly pushed the banknote back, but Su Qingluan pressed it down: "Sister, you and I have known each other for a while, and I can't help you escape from the sea of misery. At least I hope this little money can help you." Let you come in handy in a pinch."
Judging from the unreliability of Que'er's father, it is estimated that there is no hope for the dowry, which is the daughter's only property after marriage - she has sold her daughter, so how can she buy a decent dowry for Que'er?
Su Qingluan also knew that her little money was only a drop in the bucket, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. However, the anger and unwillingness in her heart made her feel that she must do something, otherwise she would be very restless.
Seeing that Que'er was still trying to push the banknote back, Su Qingluan lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the Chen family has a rich family." She blinked, "If my sister will live a wealthy life in the future, I will be able to make it with this little money." There’s a rich lady!”
How could Que'er not know that Su Qingluan said this deliberately to comfort her? But she also felt that Su Qingluan really wanted to help her, so she nodded with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I promise you. If you live a prosperous life in the future, you will definitely take your sister to eat and drink with you!"
Seeing that she accepted it, Su Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and glanced warily at Que'er's father outside the lattice window. He leaned over and whispered, "Don't let anyone know, not even your mother." Then he quickly turned around and left, leaving Que'er holding the banknote tightly in a daze.
