"What does your mother mean? What day is it? It seems to be today!"
He Qing's face was pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. After the person on the phone finished speaking, she seemed to have lost consciousness.
"I understand, Second Aunt, thank you. I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first." She forced herself to finish talking to the person on the phone, then hung up the phone and collapsed on the bed.
She knew that her parents had always favored boys over girls and didn't take her seriously, but she didn't expect that they could be so cruel and casually sell her to others, and they were even eligible for a ghost marriage!
When she thought of the appearance of the man in her dream, she suddenly felt cold all over and couldn't help hugging herself.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Yu Huan couldn't help but asked worriedly when he saw that He Qing was in a bad state.
"Huanhuan, tell me, how can there be parents in the world who are so cruel to their children? Since you don't want me? Why did you give birth to me in the first place?" He Qing looked at Yu Huan blankly and asked in despair.
Hearing this, Yu Huan was stunned for a moment. She had the best relationship with He Qing in the dormitory, and she knew something about the situation at He Qing's family.
He Qing's family lives in a small mountain village, and the conditions are not very good. In addition to her, there is a younger brother in the family. Her parents favor sons over daughters and have never wanted He Qing to study. When she was in high school, they wanted He Qing to drop out of school, but He Qing's grades were very poor. Well, the high school school directly waived her tuition, and she was able to get a scholarship every year so that she could finish high school.
After she was admitted to college, her family asked her to work again. It was He Qing who promised her parents not to ask for a penny from her parents. She would also give the money from her part-time job to her parents while she was in college, plus help from people in the village. Only then can I come to Yanjing to attend university.
He Qing had always worked very hard when she was in school and had been working part-time during holidays. Yu Huan admired girls like He Qing very much.
Seeing He Qing's appearance, Yu Huan guessed that her family had done something to make her sad.
"Qingqing, not every parent deserves to be called a parent. We can't use other people's mistakes to punish ourselves. You have worked hard for so long, you can't be knocked down just like this!" Yu Huan patted He Qing on the shoulder and comforted.
He Qing's body was shaken, and tears instantly burst into her eyes. She stretched out her hand, hugged Yu Huan, buried her head on Yu Huan's shoulder, and sobbed softly.
It was the first time that Yu Huan saw He Qing collapse like this. He was very angry with He Qing's parents, but he did not forget to gently pat He Qing and comfort her.
He Qing has always been a strong person. After crying loudly and venting her unwillingness and grievances, she let go of Yu Huan's shoulders, sat up straight, wiped away her tears with her hands, and said softly: "I know, I I'm just shocked by their cold-bloodedness and shamelessness, and I feel worthless for myself, but I won't do it anymore. Since they treat me like this, I will treat myself as if I have no parents from now on!"
Yu Huan saw He Qing's firm eyes and knew that He Qing had not been knocked down, so he nodded.
"So what did they do this time?" Yu Huan looked at He Qing's face and asked carefully.
"They sold me to the director of a factory in our town and asked me to marry the director's son who just died!" He Qing said with a sad smile, eyes full of sadness.
Yu Huan was stunned. She didn't expect He Qing's parents to be so cruel, and she finally understood why He Qing was so sad just now.
"The call just now was from my second aunt. She said that my mother was too proud and let it slip. She called me as soon as she found out." He Qing had already adjusted her emotions and said expressionlessly.
"How could they do this? This is illegal!" Yu Huan banged the bed excitedly and said angrily.
"This is not the first time they have done this. When I graduated from high school, they wanted me to marry a man from the same village. That man was ten years older than me and had a child. The reason why they agreed was because That man gave me 50,000 yuan as a gift." He Qing said with a sneer as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yu Huan looked at He Qing distressedly. She did not expect that He Qing would encounter such a thing.
"If teachers from the school hadn't come to the house at that time, I'm afraid I would have been married off by them." Noticing Yu Huan's eyes, He Qing patted her hand and then said, "After I finished the college entrance examination, they wanted me to go there again. I worked in the factory to earn money to buy a house for my brother and marry a wife. Fortunately, I was admitted to Yenching University, which attracted the attention of the town. The town rewarded me with money, and they allowed me to continue studying."
"How could there be such parents? It's too much!" Although Yu Huan had heard He Qing mention it before, this was the first time he knew about it in such detail. It was an eye-opener and he hated He Qing's parents so much.
"This time they treated me like this, I have no expectations from them at all. When I resolve this matter, I will sever ties with them!" Seeing Yu Huan worried about herself, He Qing felt a warm current in his heart and patted Yu. He held Huan's hand and said firmly.
"Then what should we do now? That ghost marriage thing?" Yu Huan looked at He Qing worriedly, "That must be fake, right?"
"It's true!" He Qing thought of the terrifying feeling in the dream just now, and her face turned pale again, "The second aunt said that the day they would have an incestuous relationship between me and that man is today, and I just had such a dream..."
He Qing didn't finish what he said, but Yu Huan already understood what He Qing meant. Her eyes widened and she felt incredible.
"No way? How old is this?" As a materialist, Yu Huan was full of doubts about this matter.
"Some things are still very mysterious, but we just don't understand them." He Qingqiang cheered up and said.
"Then what should we do now? Should we go to the temple to worship? Or find a master?" Yu Huan asked tentatively, thinking of what he saw on TV.
"I'll go to the temple to try first tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to find a master. Even this kind of master is hard to find, and I don't know if I can find one." He Qing frowned, worried. said.
Of course, in addition to worrying about not being able to find a master, she also has another worry, that is, she doesn't have much money. Generally, if you find a master, the fee will be more expensive, and she doesn't know if she can afford it.
"I'll help you ask your family members later to see if they have any connections in this area." Yu Huan is a native of Yanjing and knows more about this place. She also wants to help He Qing, so she said.
"Thank you, Huanhuan, it's great to have you here." He Qing held Yu Huan's hand and said gratefully.
