Chapter 1 Through the book
Chapter 1 Through the book
"Mom, since my sister wants to marry into the Zhao family, just help her. I have no objection anyway."
Guan Youshuang said lazily and reached out to the plate, on which were three cornmeal buns and two white flour buns.
She wants to eat white flour.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Caihe, who was standing opposite her, opened her hand and glared at her, "Don't you know that white flour buns are for your younger brother and sister?"
"Oh, mom." Guan Lei, who was on the other side of the table, took her mother's arm affectionately and said coquettishly, "I don't want to eat white flour today, give it to my sister."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes, generously picked up a white steamed bun and handed it to Guan Youshuang.
Guan Youshuang didn't hesitate to take it and started eating, and also picked up a few slices of pickled radish.
When she finally realized that she had been transported into this period novel because of an accidental sudden death and became the unwelcome eldest daughter of the Zhou family, she had been hungry for two days.
To say the original body was really pitiful, he was driven to the West Mountain to chop firewood yesterday. When he came back at ten o'clock in the evening, his eyes were empty and lifeless, his face was sallow, and he lay motionless on the bed.
Of course she knew why Guan Lei did not marry the young talent Gu Errong, and insisted on snatching the 30-year-old man Zhao Yang who was already engaged to her original body.
Because in the original book, this Zhao Yang was a well-known wealthy man in the area. Not to mention that he often bought beautiful clothes for the original body after marriage, the wedding alone made the original body the center of attention.
Although Guan Lei married the man chosen by her parents, because Gu Errong had no house in the city, Guan Lei initially lived with her parents-in-law in the village. Also living with them was Gu Errong's 7-year-old nephew Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Errong's brother and sister-in-law work away from home all year round, and the children live with their grandparents.
For this reason, Guan Lei was quite resentful and always criticized her children intentionally or unintentionally.
What made Guan Lei even more dissatisfied was that Gu's parents-in-law were not in good health and had to take medicine all year round. Not to mention that they could not help her much, the medical expenses alone cost a lot of money.
Her sister often wore the latest fashions, but she only had a little pocket money every month. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She cursed her parents-in-law for being a burden, and even used the medical expenses her husband sent to her parents-in-law to buy clothes for herself.
Gu Er could no longer tolerate it and filed for divorce. Guan Lei was unable to accept this and burned down Gu's house, killing all the family members. She also committed suicide.
A complete tragedy.
Sadly.
Guan Youshuang chewed the white flour bun in big mouthfuls.
Zhang Caihe glared at her fiercely, turned her head, put on a kind motherly tone, patted her little daughter's hand, and said, "Leilei, don't be willful. The son of the Gu family is a government employee, and he is also good-looking. Many families are eager to marry into his family.
"If it weren't for the good relationship between your cousin and Wang Huiying, Gu Errong's mother, when they were young, this good thing would never have happened to our family."
"But, Mom." Guan Lei hesitated to speak. How should she explain that she was actually reborn and knew how miserable her fate would be after marrying? But she didn't know how to make her mother understand.
"Mom~" Guan Lei pouted again, "Since my sister has agreed to change, just promise me. I really want to marry into the Zhao family."
"Since Youshuang agrees, let the children do as they please." Guan Xingguo, who had been silent, said, "Although the eldest son of the Zhao family is a little older, he is still from an honest family, and his family conditions are pretty good."
"What? What did you say?" Zhang Caihe raised her voice, very excited, "No matter how rich she is, she is still a farmer. Zhao Yang is 30 years old, and Lei Lei is only 21 years old. Besides, Lei Lei is very delicate. Are you willing to let her be a farmer for the rest of her life?"
"Mom, then why is it okay for my eldest sister to marry him?" 12-year-old Guan Ruijie asked seriously, holding his chin.
"What do you know, kid? Go do your homework after you finish eating."
"Mom, please don't deny it. You are just biased." Guan Ruijie stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and ran out.
"Hey, what are you doing? Have you finished your homework? Oh, what a sin!"
At this time, Guan Youshuang finished eating the steamed bun.
She stood up and said slowly, "Mom, don't just look at the fact that Gu Errong has a job. His job is actually temporary. Besides, Gu Errong has an older brother, and they haven't separated yet. It seems that his nephew still lives with them..."
Zhang Caihe was stunned. "Who told you that? The job at the Water Conservancy Bureau was assigned to her officially. As for whether the family will be divided or not, that's not important. When Lei Lei gets married, she will follow Gu Errong to the city."
"That's a pie in the sky," Guan Youshuang said calmly, "Gu Errong is not young anymore, and he has never been married before. But his father just broke his waist, and he is in a hurry to get married. Don't you think there is something wrong?"
"what is the problem?"
Guan Youshuang paused deliberately and said slowly, "He wants to marry a cheap wife to serve his father for free."
Guan Lei felt her whole body tremble!
Yes, yes, yes, that’s the truth!
She looked at Guan Youshuang warily, wondering why her sister, who had always been slow-tempered and submissive, felt different?
How could she know so much about something that even her mother didn't know clearly? And she was actually right.
More importantly, she knew it so clearly, why did he agree to exchange with her?
Soon, her question was asked by her mother in an annoyed voice.
"Leilei is the apple of your eye." Guan Youshuang glanced at her and said slowly, "She has never worked or done housework since she was a child. Gu Errong's mother is in poor health and his father is injured. After Leilei marries her, she will not only have to take care of them, but also work in the fields.
"When the time comes, you as parents will also feel distressed. After all, I am your biological sister, and you can't bear it. As for me, it doesn't matter who I marry. I am strong and can work, and I won't suffer any loss in the countryside."
Zhang Caihe thought for a long time, and finally softened her tone and said, "It's rare that you can think of your sister. Well, since the Gu family needs someone urgently, you should marry them first."
Zhang Caihe looked at Guan Xingguo and said firmly, "As for the Zhao family, let's see if we can withdraw."
Guan Xingguo smacked his lips, finished the last sip of tea, and said, "They have already given half of the betrothal gift. Besides, the Zhao family hasn't given us less during this period. If we back out now, how can we hold our heads up in this village in the future?"
"What do you mean? Do you really have the heart to marry Lei Lei to him?"
Before Guan Xingguo could say anything, Guan Lei became anxious.
"Mom, mom, I can't give up. I don't want to marry anyone else. I want to marry Zhao Yang." In order to become a rich wife in the future, Guan Lei didn't care about her face and said loudly, "I just like him."
Zhang Caihe looked at her daughter in disbelief and touched her forehead. "Leilei, you don't have a fever, do you? You haven't even seen Zhao Yang."
"I, I have seen it, Mom, if you really love me, just promise me, believe me, I will definitely live a good life."
