Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts
Chapter 8: Courage
"Yes! He's only fifteen." Lin's mother looked at Li Dajun eagerly and said.
"Brother Lin knows that here, you can't get a marriage certificate if you're not of marriageable age. Just have the wedding first and live your life. When you reach the age, you can get a marriage certificate if you want. There are many people who don't get a marriage certificate and just live like this for the rest of their lives." Li Dajun said, looking at them with his dark eyes.
"I know, it's a common-law marriage." Father Lin said with a dim look in his eyes.
"The village chief doesn't care about this?" Lin Jingzhe looked at him with his jade-like peach blossom eyes and spoke again.
"How can the village chief intervene? It's someone else's family affair, how can an outsider interfere?" Li Dajun sighed. "I've finished junior high school, and high school isn't compulsory anymore. Even if we could ask the government, I don't think anyone would be willing to air family disgrace in public!"
"What about that girl? What was she thinking? She got married without thinking, even though her academic performance was so good." Lin Jingzhe looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and asked.
"Yes! What does a girl think? She has studied and knows that this is wrong." Lin's mother looked at Li Dajun anxiously and asked.
"You are still a child! And you want to get married and have children?" Father Lin looked at him anxiously and asked.
"What can a girl do? She has a father like that!" Li Dajun said with regret. "What else can she do if she doesn't get married? He's a little older than the girl. In a few years, she'll marry and become someone else's stepmother. Who knows if the man she meets might be lame or blind? It's better to marry a normal man while she's still young."
"Is that marrying? That's selling." Father Lin said angrily.
"There's nothing we can do about it?" Li Dajun said helplessly. "Girls here are all the same. They either get married or go out to work. If they go to high school, they're guaranteed to get into college. High school costs a lot of tuition and living expenses! Even if they go to college, the final destination is still marriage!" He continued, "That's the custom. Early marriage and early childbearing mean girls will eventually belong to someone else's family. Married girls are like spilled water. Not many people will send their girls to school." He said regretfully, "I heard from the villagers that the girl is very capable. She takes care of everything at home and outside, raising pigs, feeding chickens, and farming..."
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Raising pigs and feeding chickens?" She looked at Li Dajun with horror on her face.
"All the girls in the country are like this, making fire, cooking, raising pigs and feeding chickens. Children from poor families have to grow up early." Li Dajun looked at her in confusion and said, is it necessary to make such a fuss?
Mother Lin covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
Li Dajun looked at his sister-in-law with confusion, and then looked at Lin's father who also had a sad face. Brother Lin's family was just sentimental.
They've seen it so many times that they're used to it.
"Where's the man? What's his situation?" Lin Jingzhe continued to ask, "Have you found out?"
"The groom is a well-known bachelor, twice as old as the girl. I heard that the betrothal gift was 20,000 yuan given to the Xia family. If he were a respectable family, they wouldn't wait until they were 30 to get married!" Li Dajun pursed his lips and said, "I always feel that there must be something wrong with that man."
"Da Jun, drive faster, drive faster, we must stop this wedding." Father Lin looked at him excitedly and said.
"Oh oh oh!" Li Dajun stepped on the accelerator, speeding up the car. Seeing their strange expressions, he hesitated and asked, "Brother Lin, excuse me, do you know his family? Why are you so anxious?"
"She might be my other daughter." Father Lin said, looking at him with his deep and bottomless eyes.
"What?" Li Dajun exclaimed, "Crack..." and slammed on the brakes.
"Bang bang bang..." The three members of the Lin family rushed forward. Lin's mother and Lin Jingzhe hit the seats in front, and Lin's father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was in a bit of a miserable state as he hit the windshield directly.
"Her father, how are you?" Lin's mother looked at her lover worriedly and said.
"Nothing?" Father Lin rubbed his forehead and said, "Luckily I was wearing my seat belts." He looked at them worriedly and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No, no! It just hit the back of the chair, it's no big deal." Mother Lin held Lin Jingzhe's little face in her hands, "Nannan, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Lin Jingzhe lifted up her bangs and said, "It's not red, is it?"
"No." Mother Lin looked at her forehead carefully and said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Li Dajun said to them with an apologetic look on his face.
"Beep, beep..." The car behind them honked its horn, and as it passed them, they said, "What a lunatic! Braking so suddenly!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Li Dajun quickly apologized.
The other party had already apologized, what else could he say? The car drove away.
"Um... stop by the roadside first." Father Lin pointed at the curb and said, "Don't block other people's way."
"Oh oh!" Li Dajun restarted the car, carefully looked behind him, and parked it on the side of the road. "Brother Lin, what's going on?" He glanced at the girl behind him and said, "Isn't my niece here? When did another daughter appear?"
"We'll talk about the details later. Now we have to stop this wedding." Father Lin looked at him seriously and said, "We have to rescue this child."
"Don't have anything to do with her family anymore." Lin Jingzhe said, "Her family doesn't even treat her as a human being."
"Yes!" Lin's mother said with hatred in her eyes. She wanted to kill that bastard for treating her daughter like this.
"Will we get into trouble if we try to snatch the bride like this?" Lin Jingzhe said worriedly. "It's not easy to marry a bride in the countryside. Can we rescue her successfully? Will the villagers help the groom's family? We are so alone..."
"Is that so?" Li Dajun thought for a moment and said, "Prepare the money. Since the Xia family is selling their child, we can offer a higher price, so they will definitely agree. As for who their daughter marries, he doesn't care!" He added seriously, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. If a girl marries far away, we can have no contact for many years."
Father Lin nodded and said, "I understand! Money is not a problem." He looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Da Jun, contact your friends and help me build up courage. With our numbers, they won't dare to act rashly. It would be best if we can solve the problem with money."
"No problem." Li Dajun responded readily, "I'll call now."
"Wait a minute, let's find a bank and withdraw cash." Father Lin looked at him with his deep black eyes and said.
"Okay!" Li Dajun drove slowly along the street, found the bank, and parked outside the bank.
"We'll get off the car to withdraw money, you wait a moment." Father Lin pushed open the car door and went to the bank with his wife and came back soon.
"Is everything going well?" Lin Jingzhe asked them with concern, looking at them with his bright and clear eyes.
"It went smoothly!" Lin's father slammed the car door and said, "I took the bank card and withdrew 100,000 yuan."
