Countdown to Awakening

Regardless of anything else, as long as her two daughters were married, her son's tuition and bride price would be covered. After all, the bride price from her daughters would eventually go to them, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to give their son money to marry him. After all, every family with a son needs to marry a daughter-in-law, and wouldn't they all use the bride price from their daughters? Everyone in the village did the same.

Luo's mother thought there was nothing wrong with it. After all, everyone did it, so why couldn't they? Everyone used their daughter's betrothal money as a way to help their sons marry.

"Xinxin, don't hesitate, just go with him. We know each other well, and we can cultivate our relationship later, right? Isn't that the case with me and your dad?"

Luo Xinxin thought for a moment, then sighed and replied, "Okay, Mom. I promise. I'll marry Jianguo as a way to fulfill my filial duty to you and Dad. It's also good... to save money for my younger brother."

Luo Xinxin didn't think this was a problem, as she had seen it all before: the money from an older sister's marriage was given to her younger brother. Besides, as the oldest child in the family and the older sister of two younger siblings, she naturally wanted to help whenever she could. Besides, she and Jianguo had been engaged as children, so marrying him was perfectly normal. Besides, he wasn't studying anymore, and he was already of marriageable age, as most women in the village did. Yingdi's sister from the village had only been married at eighteen. She was only two years younger than Yingdi was back then.

However, she heard that even before she was born, Jianguo's family had wanted to arrange a marriage between Jianguo and Zhong Shanshan, who was still in her womb. After all, the two families lived in Gulin Village and had a good relationship, and Zhong Shanshan's mother happened to be pregnant with a girl. Everyone thought they would arrange a marriage.

However, Zhong Shanshan's parents disagreed, and no one knew why.

After all, people in both villages were quite optimistic about this couple. Their ages weren't too far apart, and their parents knew each other, so they could be considered to have grown up together. But Zhong Shanshan's parents, unfortunately, disagreed. Logically, her parents should have approved of such a good match... but who knew they would actually object in the end? ...

So why is that? The Zhong family's conditions can't be said to be very high... In the end, finding Liao Bin can't be said to be too picky.

Thinking of this, Luo Xinxin was very unhappy. Why did Zhong Shanshan look down on Jianguo? He wasn't ugly, and he was just as honest as her mother said. The key was his character. Zhong Shanshan's family actually looked down on him? What did they mean?

But it was okay. The Zhong family didn't like her, so now it was her turn and she had a chance. If Zhong Shanshan's family had agreed back then, then Luo Xinxin wouldn't have had this opportunity. To be honest, she felt that Zhou Jianguo was much better than Liao Bin. After all, Liao Bin was a man who listened to his mother in everything and had no opinions of his own.

But Luo Xinxin still had a hard time with Zhong Shanshan. After all, this woman had nearly snatched her future husband away from her. How could she possibly be bothered with such a woman? Furthermore, the Zhong family looked down on Jianguo...

Why?

Jianguo wasn't a bad person, so why was he so unattractive? Why wasn't he worthy of her? Who did he really think he was? Didn't Zhong Shanshan only get married when she was 20? According to the villagers, Zhong Shanshan was already an old maid, and after all her choices, she still chose Liao Bin, the one Qi Yuanyuan had left out? She thought she was so capable, but ended up choosing someone everyone else had left out.

She also heard that this morning, because Zhong Shanshan didn't have a bloody discharge on her wedding night, the Liao and Zhong families had a fight...

Are you so unwilling to pick up anything?

What does the lack of blood mean? Doesn't it just mean she had sex with other men before getting married? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't believe it. A woman like this could marry into their village. What bad luck...

Given her situation, it was a good thing that the Liao family still wanted her. Going to the Zhong family just to have a fight was completely useless. She should have been thrown into the pig cage. This was the best solution.

It's strange that Liao Bin still wants her. It's also unbelievable that someone would want a woman who has violated her body. Why didn't he divorce her?

She thought that Zhong Shanshan might not be a good girl. She had been with other men before marriage... and she hadn't seen blood yet, which meant that she might not be a virgin... Such a funny thing. Only Liao Bin would want a woman like her...

By the way, Liao Bin really wants to be a sucker. He doesn't want Zhong Shanshan to cheat on him without knowing it. Maybe when he becomes a father in the future, the child Zhong Shanshan gives birth to may not even be his...

He was still foolishly showing off to others...

Thinking of this, Luo Xinxin began to laugh. What a sucker... Only Liao Bin would be willing to be such a sucker...

"What are you laughing at, sister? Why are you so happy? You must be happy because you are going to marry Brother Jianguo, right? Congratulations, sister." Seeing that she was so happy, Luo Dandan also asked her with a smile.

Even if you're getting married, you shouldn't be that happy... You're so happy before you even get married...

Hearing this, Luo Xinxin said shyly: "Tsk, no, that's not the case... Don't talk nonsense... I'm not. Where did you see me being happy about getting married? Don't talk nonsense. No, I'm not."

"You still say no and try to quibble. The more you quibble, the less I believe you. Because I can see it. You look like a loser... and you still say you don't want to get married. Your mouth is grinning from ear to ear and you still say no..." said Luo Dandan.

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense. It's really not true."

Luo's mother also smiled at this time. "Xinxin, seeing how useless you are, I know you definitely don't want to get married. Seeing you like this...ah, but girls should be more reserved." Luo's mother seemed very satisfied with her daughter's performance.

The Zhou family was also easy to talk to. They had long since taken a liking to Xinxin. They had long considered Xinxin their daughter-in-law. They were easy to talk to. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so eager to talk about marrying off a daughter-in-law.

Jianguo was a good man. He'd waited a long time for Xinxin, and he didn't complain about her age or ask for a replacement. He waited until Xinxin turned sixteen. Yingdi was only eighteen when she got married, so sixteen wasn't too young. There were plenty of people in this village who got married at sixteen.

The Zhou family is quite generous. They gave a generous deposit. I wonder how much the betrothal gift will be when Xinxin gets married...

At this moment, Luo's mother remembered something and said, "Xinxin, I have to tell you that Jianguo originally had a younger sister. This sister was supposed to be four years older than you, which means she was twenty years old. But not long after she was born... Well, it's better not to mention this sad story. Anyway, Jianguo wasn't the only child in their family."
