Chapter 7
Lu Jin listened to it for a while, but there was no unexpected expression on her face. She had expected the situation today. After the notification, it was enough that the Chu family didn't come to announce the good news. Yu's mother was shocked.
After they left, the two of them didn't even want to take a nap anymore. They walked around the room, wishing they could rush directly to Chu's house to find out.
"How can this Chu family do this? They don't treat us as relatives!" The more Lu Jin's mother thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Okay, Mom, what's the use of worrying about you here, why don't you just ask directly, people don't like it, it's better to break up this kind of marriage contract." Lu Jin took the opportunity to say, she never came through. From that day on, I wanted to settle the marriage contract.
She didn't feel much about this marriage contract at first. As an independent woman in the new era, she didn't think marriage was inevitable, and the Chu family made it clear that they didn't take their family to heart, and there was no point in dragging it along.
She is only sixteen years old, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. What are you doing in a hurry to get engaged and get married?
Since he planned to solve it, there was nothing to hesitate. Lu Jin was not such a grumbling temper, she told her mother and went to Chu's house.
Seeing her look like she was going to leave, Lu Jin's mother was stunned for a moment. When did her daughter become so decisive? She wasn't like this before.
"Why are you about to break up the engagement? How did it get to this point?" When Lu Jin walked out the door, her mother came back to her senses and hurriedly followed.
Thinking of breaking the marriage contract, Lu Jin's mother was a little reluctant, and couldn't help but persuaded: "Really want to break it? Didn't you like Qinglin very much before? He has been admitted to university again, and his future will not be bad in the future. , you may not be able to find a better partner than him in the future."
"Maybe they want to get rid of it more than us! Otherwise, why didn't they even log in during this time?" Lu Jin didn't stop, raised his head confidently Said, "And it's just a university. Even if he graduates and works, it's not certain who will be better in the future!"
Having said that, Lu Ma stopped talking. In fact, she was also muttering in her heart. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she walked with Lu Jin to the door of Chu's house without knowing it.
The banquet of the Chu family is tomorrow. There are a lot of things to prepare at this time, so even at noon, Chu's mother did not sleep. She is busy in the kitchen at the moment, and Chu Qinglin's aunt under the eaves is helping to wash things. .
Seeing Lu Jin's mother and daughter coming over, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face.
"Huifen is here? I'm going to call Jin Xiu." The aunt said embarrassingly, then turned around and went to the kitchen.
The marriage agreement between Lu Jin and Chu Qinglin was earlier, so most of the relatives and friends on both sides knew that when she was called by Chu's mother to help her, she casually asked why the Lu family didn't come to help? It's all in-laws, isn't it normal to help each other out?
She didn't know that Mother Chu said that she didn't call them at all, which made her a little embarrassed. She asked the reason, and Mother Chu said that Lu Jin did not go to school. The difference between the two was too far in the future, and Qinglin would have to study in the future. , I don't know how long it will take to get married after graduation. I'm really embarrassed to delay others...
Anyway, after saying so much, she understood it, just wanted to break off the marriage. Originally, she thought it was really bad. It's not easy to get along after seeing each other.
But Mother Chu talked about the difficulty of Qinglin, and the difficulty of raising her son alone for so many years, which made it difficult for her to say anything else, after all, it was also a family affair.
Lu Jin naturally saw the expression on her face. It seemed that she knew all about it, so she would hide it from their family!
"Yo, why are you here?" Mother Chu walked out of the kitchen wiping her hands with a smile on her face, as if she really didn't know anything. Aunt Chu followed behind, embarrassed. He had a look of wanting to watch the fun again.
Lu Ma couldn't help but stood up and said, "Is this going to be a drink?"
"Yes, isn't this Qing Lin's admission to university? Just thinking about being lively."
"Then why didn't you call us?" Lu Ma asked immediately.
Being questioned like this, Mother Chu's face was a little ugly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a person walk in at the door and said, "I won't let you yell, so don't yell at my mother."
It was the person who just returned from the county seat Chu Qinglin, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Lu's mother's voice. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Jin and her mother were aggressively facing his mother. He was brought up by his mother since he was a child, and his relationship was naturally close. Seeing this scene , where can't hold back, rushed in and stood in front of his mother to confront the two.
When I saw Chu Qinglin before, he was not polite to her, but now his attitude suddenly changed a lot. Lu Jin's mother stayed where she was. She didn't quite believe what her daughter said before. It's hard to believe right now.
"I think you should learn good manners and don't yell at your elders. Where have you been reading all these years?" Seeing Lu Ma's appearance of being hit hard, Lu Jin snorted and looked at him as he spoke. Chu Qinglin for a while.
Chu Qinglin is really good looking. He looks very handsome, about 1.75 meters. Although he is not tall, he is already thin, and he does not look short. Maybe he has studied too much, and he has a bookish air. , When he doesn't speak, he looks like a modest gentleman.
Suddenly, Xie Yi's image flashed in her mind. Speaking of which, he read more books, why is he not bookish? Thinking back to when I was sitting on the back seat of his bicycle and supporting his waist, I seemed to have muscles and looked quite strong.
Chu Qinglin glared at her. He didn't expect Lu Jin to dare to yell at him. She used to run away with her head down when she saw him, and she didn't even dare to look at him. He remembered that he was in the county seat today. When she arrived at the scene with Xie Yi, she immediately felt that she must have changed her target and dared to do this.
He just wanted to say something, but swallowed what he said. Today, he went with You Jiayi. If he told about Lu Jin and Xie Yi being together, then he and You Jiayi would be the same. Unable to hide it, he turned and asked impatiently, "Did you come to my house to find fault?"
Lu Jin looked astonished, and said in surprise, "Finding faults? This is the first time I know that in-laws are called finding faults. They don't say anything about going to university, and they don't call it a banquet. What's the point of this in-law's doing? ?"
"Since it's boring, let's get rid of it." Chu Qinglin said immediately.
I didn't expect him to speak so directly. Although Lu Ma heard Lu Jin say this on the way here, she still held out hope that this matter could be resolved well. How could she know that Lu Jin was right? They are also anxious to dissolve the engagement.
"Qinglin, what do you mean? How can you say such words casually?" Lu Ma said very seriously.
The moment he said the words, Chu Qinglin also felt that he was a little impulsive, but since he had already said it, he would just take this opportunity to settle the matter. Anyway, he wanted to retire before, so he made up his mind and said: "I didn't say it casually, auntie, I wanted to say this before, this kind of baby kissing thing is feudal dross, and the country advocates the freedom of marriage. I have always regarded Lu Jin as my sister. If you want to marry her, this marriage will be called off today!"
"You were the ones who said you wanted to get married, but now you can come and leave if you want, and we can be bullied by the Lu family!" Lu Ma said angrily with her arms on her hips .
Lu Jin didn't speak. She was observing Chu Qinglin in front of her. When he walked past her just now, she smelled a scent on his body. It was very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember what it was. It smells a bit like Pechoin.
Looking at his attire today, it seems that he was dressed up on purpose, and his body was upright, but because he had walked in the sun for a long time, his clothes were soaked with sweat. She glanced at the soaked place, beside him. Not far away, I saw a touch of red, which looked like lipstick that I had accidentally smeared on.
With a move in her heart, she decided to cheat him, and said, "Chu Qinglin, are you happy with today's date?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then blushed and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dating?" He said that, but he was a little scared, could he be discovered?
Seeing him like this, Lu Jin knew that he had guessed right, and continued to lie very calmly: "I saw you in the county town today, and it looks like a good relationship!
" Nothing has been done, don't slander us!" Chu Qinglin immediately jumped and said as if his tail had been stepped on. "What? You and the You family?" It was the first time that Lu Ma heard about this. She
pointed at him in shock and was speechless.
You hooked up with Xie Yi!" Chu Qinglin, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, couldn't stand being scolded in such a way, and immediately pointed at Lu Jin and said sarcastically, "You don't look at yourself, how could Xie Yi look at you? Can I get you?"
"It's really as dark as a crow looks at people. I haven't met Xie Yi a few times before, and you can say it. We just met by chance. He kindly took me for a ride to you. Why is it so unpleasant to say it out of your mouth?" Lu Jin scolded, "Do you have a dirty heart, eyes and mouth?"
Hearing her words, Chu Qinglin felt relieved for some reason, and he said how could Xie Yi look at it? on her?
"Anyway, freedom of love, freedom of marriage, and finger marriage shouldn't exist in the first place! The feudal dross should have been destroyed by the state long ago." Chu Qinglin changed the subject and pretended to be confused, and insisted on this reason.
"You seem to be aggrieved by what you are saying now. Don't say that you proposed it on your own initiative. If you didn't want to, why didn't you say it when you ordered it?" Lu Jin sneered.
"I..." Chu Qinglin was at a loss for words. At that time, the village still ate large pots of rice to earn work points in exchange for food. His mother was not in good health. It was only when Lu Jin's family saw them that they would often send some food and help them with their work. After discussing it with him, he thought about marrying Lu Jin's family, and living a life more easily in the future.
After the marriage was arranged, with the help of Lu Jin's family, their family's life was indeed much better. At least they had enough to eat. Lu Jin's father would still help their family after finishing his own work. , People who work honestly are not as popular as those who are active.
"I was young back then, who would have expected so much, but now that we are all grown up, we shouldn't be bound by these dross, Lu Jin, I'm also doing this for your own good, you're still young, you still don't understand some things, wait You will know in two years." Chu Qinglin said with a sincere expression.
"Okay, I agree to retire this marriage. One hundred yuan, if you give me one hundred yuan, I will retire." Lu Jin didn't bother, anyway, this was exactly what she wanted.
"You steal the money!" Upon hearing this, Mother Chu jumped up and scolded.
What is the concept of one hundred yuan? Being able to buy several hundred kilograms of meat is enough for a family to eat and drink a lot for a year. Now a worker's salary is only a dozen yuan a month, and she only needs a hundred yuan when she opens her mouth. Mother Chu's expression changed immediately. A little guilt also disappeared, and looking at them at this time was like an enemy.
"For so many years, what our family has done to you, you also know in your hearts, if it weren't for our family's help, I'm afraid you starved to death two years ago, and now you turn your head and turn your face, if you are not afraid of being pierced through the spine, you can not give it, I don't care." Lu Jin said.
"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person? Don't you just want money, why do you talk so loudly!" Chu Qinglin scolded her with a very ugly face when she heard her lion's big opening, but he didn't dare not give it. Everyone in the village knows the situation of their two families. If they don't turn around and go out, they will be pointed at them.
He glanced at Mother Chu, held the mother who was going to scold her again, and asked her to go to the room to get the money.
Mother Chu reluctantly stood there for a while, but in the end it was her son who was important, so she reluctantly went back to the house to get the money, and handed it to Lu Jin and the others with a look of hatred.
Lu Jin took the money directly, without saying a polite word, he pulled her mother and turned and left.
When I walked out of the door, I heard Mother Chu's scolding voice behind me: "It's rude!"
Along the way, although she took the money, Lu's mother was still very unhappy along the way: "How did Qinglin become like this, he looked good before!"
Lu Jin glanced at her mother and said noncommittally, "He used to be a Students, you don't have to do anything except study every day, as long as you get good grades, of course, in your eyes, you are a good kid, you can see something."
She was right...it was so right that she couldn't refute it at all.
Because she is not good at seeing people, her daughter has now become a "second-hand product". Mother Lu blamed herself and muttered: "Do you think our family has had some bad luck recently? Why is there no good thing? Do you want to look for it? People come to see?"
"What are you looking at, it's all feudal superstition." Lu Jin said, holding his forehead, "I haven't been scolded enough just now?"
"I have to find you a better one!" Lu Jin said Ma said angrily.
