Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy. If you end up doing well, that’s fine, but if not, I would definitely blame myself for a lifetime. Chuxia, if you’re unwilling, don’t compromise yourself for anyone.
Even if your older brother and I are no longer soldiers, we’ll still fight for your justice. Believe me, I think this way, and your older brother definitely thinks the same. Even if we return to the village, we will surely live well.
Forget it, I’m confusing myself with all this talking, but anyway, after saying all this, you should understand what I mean. Chuxia, promise me, think it through before making a decision.
I need to emphasize again, I’m saying these things, not out of jealousy, but truly, two hundred percent, hoping you will have a good life. You must believe me!"
"I believe you, of course I believe!" Chuxia hugged her and patted gently. "Xiaoqiong, having you as a friend is wonderful. Don’t worry, I won’t force myself, as for his family.
Forget it, I’ll be honest with you. He had a girlfriend before, but they broke up. That woman found a foreigner, so he was really angry and didn’t find another girlfriend since.
As his age increased year by year, how could the elders in his family not be anxious? They arranged some things for him overtly and covertly, but he rejected them all.
You might see him as the youngest at home, but his dad, his grandpa, his mom, etc., all have to give in to him. Didn’t I visit his house once? He stood in the middle of the room, and everyone else was too scared to make a sound.
And the reason he got angry was that his family members secretly investigated me because Zhou Hanliang said he treated me well, so they intentionally checked on me, and his mom also wanted to meet me in advance.
He discovered it, and not only did the meeting not happen, but he also scolded them. From these things, you can see his family’s attitude. I guess they wouldn’t mind unless he marries someone foolish.
So, don’t worry. If I really marry into his family, I won’t be locked up like I’m in prison. As for whether I really want to marry him, let me be honest with you, I still have not liked him up to this point.
But Xiaoqiong, with his personality, it’s already not easy for him to get to this point, especially after seeing his attitude towards his family members. I really think marrying him might be a good choice.
There’s only me in my family. I must take care of my dad and mom, and I want them to have a good life. Of course, I believe that if I serve as a soldier here, I could also find a good man eventually.
However, the current situation is, if I don’t marry him, I might not even be able to become a soldier. Or, maybe he won’t forcefully do so, but what about others? Could they covertly do something? Who can guarantee it?
I can’t take that risk. If I return to the village now, other’s saliva could drown me. I might not care, but what about my dad and my mom?
Especially my dad’s temperament, he seems submissive usually, but whenever it is about me, he changes. If he gets into a conflict with someone and something happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Even if the entrance exams are restored this year, what if someone obstructs us covertly? We’re just ordinary folks, can’t fight against the mighty, so I accept it.
No matter whether I end up having a good life or a bad one, this is my own choice. At least, I feel now, marrying him isn’t the worst. He can offer me things many others can’t.
By marrying him, I won’t have to worry about which powerful family might force me again. By marrying him, I also don’t have to worry about being unable to take care of both my parents and myself.
In short, this is a win-win situation. Xiaoqiong, I’m telling you all this, so clearly because I hope you can support me. You have seen the worries of my dad and mom. If you don’t support me, they might really continue to be uneasy."
Having listened to all this, Luo Xiaoqiong also felt a bit dizzy. It took her quite a while to digest it before she nodded and agreed, "Okay, but I have a condition. You must promise me that if you suffer any grievances, you must tell me immediately. Even if I can’t beat him, I will still go and argue!"
The two reached an agreement and returned to the dormitory where everyone had already fallen asleep.
A quiet night passed.
The next day, after morning exercises on their way to breakfast, Liu Meijun curiously asked Chuxia, "Did your parents really come to see you?"
