C18 The Fate of Women with No Choice
Marriage was exciting, but I felt that there was nothing to show off about Xiao Ya. On the contrary, there was even more sadness. However, after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ya's reality was really hard to accept. Marrying a cripple who couldn't even walk steadily, he did indeed have the feeling of a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.
"Sis, did you not think of refusing?"
I asked slowly, and although I couldn't help asking, I knew it was pointless.
Here, a few girls are able to make their own decisions in marriage, and a few are for the man they love. Eighty to ninety percent of girls do not recklessly give up their happiness for the sake of their brothers and sisters being able to get married. However, Xiao Ya's fate was indeed a little surprising. After all, she had to marry a lame man. Such a marriage might affect her future life, much less her happiness. If there were any problems with her legs, she definitely wouldn't be able to do heavy work.
With a "pa da" sound, Xiao Ya threw herself forward and switched on the light bulb.
Although it was already dusk, the clear night sky was not pitch black. The light within the room made the room seem like it could not be illuminated by the light. In order to save money on electricity, every household in the village kept a minimum wattage light bulb, which was rarely turned on, as if it were merely a decoration and had no practical function.
"It's easy for you to say, but it's useful to refuse! Even if I don't agree, isn't the end result the same? "Besides, big brother is already thirty years old. If I still can't find a wife, wouldn't I have to spend the rest of my life fighting with nothing?"
Xiao Ya asked in a low voice.
Her originally dark face now had a deeper yellow hue under the yellow glow of the light bulbs. She looked sickly and emaciated.
I couldn't answer her, so I looked into her puzzled eyes and gave a heavy nod.
Isn't it the same? Not to mention Xiao Ya, I am also helpless! He had Yue Siyang in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. Full of the hope of loving each other, but unable to change the reality of the blind date with Ding Bufan, although not hateful hostile, at least not in love nature, and my blind date, to a large extent, is for my brother's wedding gift, definitely not for me to find a good family to seek happiness.
While I was talking to myself, I slowly shifted my gaze to the window covered with colored paper. I wanted to look at the sky, but I forgot to turn on the light inside the room, so I couldn't see outside the window at all.
"Don't worry, it's still early. It's not winter, so I haven't had the chance to ask you about your blind date. What does that man of yours look like? "
Xiao Ya's face was suddenly filled with joy as she stared into my eyes. She had a very mysterious look in her eyes, but it also had a hint of anxiety in it.
Slowly, she shifted in her seat, pulling the blanket, which was no longer the original color, gently off her bent leg and over mine.
Now we were sitting face to face, and after looking at each other for a long time, we smiled in unison.
"Look at how worried you are. Don't you already have a man!?" And it still seems so excited, does it seem like I really want to change to another one? "
I joked about saying something I didn't mean. Actually, I didn't have any other thoughts. I just wanted to keep the atmosphere lively. Xiao Ya's mood wasn't that stable after all.
For a girl to be able to find a man she liked and also have a solid family background, that was the ideal ending for a woman. However, I knew that neither Xiao Ya nor I could fulfill that beautiful wish. Ding Bufan, who was my blind date, was definitely much better than Xiao Ya's man. However, his family background didn't seem to be ideal.
"Don't joke around with me. As long as you bring up the matter of my marriage, my heart will feel like it's being pierced by needles. It's bleeding. You still have a blind date, so I'm going to get married soon. I've only met that man twice, and I haven't even spoken to him three times. "
When Xiao Ya finished her words, she suddenly leaned back, pressing her back against the wall behind the brick bed. For a moment, her face was filled with a slow, sad expression.
"Sis, let me tell you the truth!" Actually, it's useless for us not to meet. As long as Mom and Dad want to make a decision, even if they don't like us, so what?
I had to comfort her, but I felt too sad to say such a thing. Marriage was a life time, an end that the two of them faced every day. If they couldn't even meet face to face, then they would marry and live their lives in a daze, as if it was no different from living animals.
Suddenly, as Xiao Ya moved forward, she jabbed a straight finger at my forehead, her eyes glinting with anger.
"Do you think that when a woman marries, it's the same as an animal getting in heat?!"
When Xiao Ya finished, she turned her head and looked at the tightly shut door with surprise, as if worried that someone might hear it.
I smiled and shrugged nonchalantly.
At this moment, the actions of the donkey and the pig appeared in his mind. In the countryside, in every village, there would be a donkey and a boar. The male donkey and the male pig had taken over the breeding of the female donkey and the female pig in the village, and the breeding of the livestock was a favorite sight of the children, so I had joined the show quite often when I was a child. Xiao Ya's words of warning immediately made me think of the crucial point of the livestock not choosing. I also understood Xiao Ya's hidden words for example, but I didn't dare to reply. After all, it was an unspeakable injury.
Actually, when thinking carefully, Xiao Ya's words were not unreasonable. They had only met twice and said no more than three sentences to that cripple, but they were going to get married and live together. This kind of feeling was no different from breeding livestock.
"Sis, let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Let's talk about your plans!" Since it has already become a fact, and we don't have the ability to change it, it would be better for us to think about how to live our lives when we're worried. After all, we still have a few decades left to live. "
Imitating the tone of the old man, I spoke positive words.
However, my current thoughts are very clear. I just want to hear Xiao Ya's evaluation of Ding Bufan. Although Xiao Ya has never met Ding Bufan, but what I want to know is not what he looks like, but whether Xiao Ya has a unique evaluation of Ding Bufan's plan.
Due to Ding Bufan's ambition, I was worried about him. Therefore, I thought of listening to Xiao Ya's suggestion to prepare a fuller reason to convince her to meet Ding Bufan again tomorrow.
