Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 106 Tian Cheng Persuades Sister 2
Seeing Tian Mi like this, Tian Cheng's anger subsided a little, and she turned to comfort her softly: "Mi Mi! I know you've always been thinking about Gu Qingshi, but what's the point of thinking about him? Look at him, he would rather lose his dignity to please Gu Qingqing than give us, who are wholeheartedly good to him, a smile.
Do you think he will be good to you after you are with him? Can he be as gentle and considerate to you as he is to Gu Qingqing?
Or do you think you are better than Gu Qingqing? In terms of appearance? Or knowledge? Family background? How can you compare to Gu Qingqing?
And don’t think that Gu Qingshi treats Gu Qingqing very well now. That’s because he hasn’t gotten Gu Qingqing yet. Do you think he will still be like this after they get married?
Even if he really continued to treat Gu Qingqing so well, his mother would be the first to disagree. His mother wanted to marry a daughter-in-law who could help her son rise to a high position, not one who would treat her son like a servant. Even if her daughter-in-law had the ability to help her son rise to a high position, she would not allow her son to treat her so well. This is a mother's desire to control her son.
Look at Lin Shaoyang again, what's wrong with him? No matter what you ask him to do, has he ever complained or resisted? If it were another man, he would have abandoned you long ago if you were unreasonable for a day, and he might even slap you in the face.
Tian Cheng subconsciously felt that Gu Qingqing had a good temperament and family background.
Tian Mi disapproved and said, "That's because he doesn't have the courage to resist."
Tian Cheng laughed angrily and said, "How long can you control the other person like this? If you can control the other person forever, why would your family blackmail them into getting engaged to you? Why not use you to arrange a marriage with another family? That way, your family will get more benefits."
Tian Mi remained silent, and Tian Cheng continued, "I'll tell you again, as long as you are sincere to Lin Shaoyang, he will not treat you unfairly.
Besides, he has a soft personality and is easy to control. After you get married, you will be the head of the family. If you don't like him then, when you have money, you can just keep a girl you like outside like a man does.
You are still young and don’t understand these social customs. In a few years, when you grow up, you will naturally understand them.”
Tian Mi's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Tian Cheng in disbelief. Tian Cheng actually had such an idea. This was considered adultery, and if caught, she would be paraded through the streets, criticized, and sent to a cowshed.
Tian Cheng didn't care about her surprised expression and continued, "Anyway, at your age, getting married is impossible. Just be patient and look back in a few years. Maybe everything will be different."
How could Tian Mi not understand these simple truths?
But feelings are like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and she can't control her heart at all.
Every time she saw Gu Qingshi and saw how attentive he was to Gu Qingqing, she felt very angry.
Every time she looked at Lin Shaoyang, she felt displeased and couldn't help but lose her temper.
Tian Cheng looked up at the sky that had been swallowed by darkness and said softly, "Let's go back first. When I have time in a few days, I'll buy some meat dishes and treat everyone to a meal. It will be like an engagement party for you."
As for Lin Shaoyang, I will apologize to him when the time comes, and you must show your full sincerity then.
Even if we really want to cancel the engagement, we have to wait until we return to the city to discuss it. Think about the benefits yourself, not to mention how much work Lin Shaoyang has done for you.
Ever since you and Lin Shaoyang got engaged, your family has been giving us an extra ten dollars every month. If this continues, we will be able to save enough money to buy a job in just two years!
At that time, no matter whether you and Lin Shaoyang can succeed or not, you must first find a way to get the Lin family to arrange a stable and decent job for you before breaking off the engagement.
In this way, we can completely leave this place, go to the city and find a man we like to marry, and after we get married, we can completely break free from the constraints of home!"
Tian Cheng took Tian Mi's arm and they walked towards the educated youth point.
Tian Cheng sighed as he walked, "We keep saying we want to rebel against our families, to leave families that favor boys over girls, and to pursue free marriages. We're always thinking about stepping on the Tian family.
But if you think about it, how could we possibly do that? Without a decent job and the support of a truly caring in-law family, how could we possibly sever ties with our family?
Even if we were to break up, could we possibly live better than when we were in the Tian family? Look at those married female educated youth in the village. Without a natal family to rely on, some of them have such a hard time, even worse than the rural people!
Without this family background, how could we have known these famous families? If we didn't have the support of our family, would the Gu and Lin families let Gu Qingshi and Lin Shaoyang take care of us and let Lin Shaoyang get engaged to you?
It is simply wishful thinking to think that we can step on my uncle and my younger uncle just by having two mouths.
Look at Jiang Yanqiu, Lin Xiaomei and Zhao Lanlan. What kind of life are they living without family support? Zhao Lanlan doesn’t even have a decent pair of shoes in such cold weather.
Let's look at ourselves again. If we didn't have the twenty yuan our family sent us each month, now it's thirty. Without that thirty yuan, would we have lived so comfortably? Without our family having contacted the village, would we have been able to find easy work? Without Lin Shaoyang and your engagement, would anyone have chopped wood, fetched water, or ground flour for us? Now we just have to cook our own food. Aren't we comfortable?
So, since we have been enjoying the benefits of our family, it is only right that we make some sacrifices for the family. My cousins have found that it is good, and we can stand up straighter in our husband's family.
Besides, you have nothing to lose by being with Lin Shaoyang! And he is more than worthy of you.
Even though my parents always protect my cousins and wrong us, think about what kind of life we would live without my uncles.
You can't say you're looking for someone without a family background. Don't forget the hard times we had when we were little..."
When they walked far away and could no longer be seen, a figure slowly stood up not far from where they had just stood.
The man was wearing a white cashmere top, and you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
When the two of them returned, the other educated youth had just returned. Lin Shaoyang didn't want to go with them, but he was also afraid that something might happen to them, and he would be the one with a headache then.
He instructed Zhao Lanlan, "Zhao Lanlan, please go back to the dormitory and ask those two people to wipe the frozen areas with snow first, don't soak them in hot water."
"Ok."
When Zhao Lanlan returned to the dormitory, she thought of the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Tian Mi on the mountain, and she didn't want to tell them to wipe the frozen parts with snow.
It would be better to let their noses and ears get frozen and disfigured, and then see how these two can still act superior every day.
He acts like a rich man every day, but he even uses their clam shell oil.
