Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 8 Leaving Home
Li Zijun was also feeling uncomfortable.

Staring at a bowl of bitter and astringent wild vegetable soup on the table, he sighed: "Mother, how about marrying Sanniang?"

It's not that he likes Gu Xiang. Li Zijun knows that his family is weak. If he wants to make achievements in the officialdom, he must find a powerful in-law. Gu Xiang is not qualified to marry him.

But these few days of studying on an empty stomach are really tormenting.

Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, and said bitterly: "...that girl is cheap!"

When the marriage between the Gu family and the Zhou family was about to be settled, Li Zijun and the Wang family were ready to compromise.

There is no food left in the house, and the belly is empty. No matter how ambitious you are, you will not be able to achieve it if you starve yourself to death.

It's not that Wang doesn't want his son to climb high, but he has to be able to climb high. Many daughters of wealthy families want to marry scholars, but the minimum requirement is that they must be a scholar, and they must be talented and famous. kind of.

Li Zijun didn't have any fame, and even the matchmaker talked about his marriage with ordinary girls from the countryside.

As far as country girls are concerned, Gu Sanniang is almost the best type.

Li Zijun's eyes flickered, and he thought of the Gu Xiang he saw through the fence a few days ago. She was wearing new clothes, a bright yellow skirt, and her whole body was full of glorious autumn chrysanthemums and lush spring pine trees. His ratio of gold to gold is by no means inferior.

Wang Shi was full of reluctance: "That yellow-haired girl doesn't know the rules, her mouth is vicious, how can she be worthy of Brother Jun?"

Li Zijun sighed, and there was some regret on his face: "I feel sorry for Auntie. When Sanniang comes in, Auntie can enjoy leisure and avoid exhaustion."

Mrs. Wang closed her mouth, showing some satisfaction and irony on her face, and went to the door of Gu's house with two handfuls of shallots that night.

Gu Xiang is sitting in the yard playing with the rope. She has played countless beautiful tricks on the long red rope. There is really little entertainment now. There is no mobile phone or Internet, and you can't go out to travel, so you have to find fun for yourself.

Even though he has to run around for his life every day, Gu Xiang has always thought about it. Since he is alive, he should live with quality and not be so tense.

While talking to Jiang, Mrs. Wang looked at her and frowned: "Your family's San Niang has to teach her well. How can she not live in her eyes? Brother Jun, we hate women who are not alive the most. San If Mother doesn't learn well, I'm afraid Brother Jun will inevitably get angry in the future."

Jiang's: "..."

Just now when Mrs. Wang entered the door, she babbled a lot of words. She listened for a long time before she could vaguely understand that Mrs. Wang probably came to propose marriage.

It’s just that when others come to propose marriage, they always lower their eyebrows and bow their heads, speak good words, and hold the girl up to the sky. This one is different, the chin is raised high, the eyeballs grow to the forehead, and the mouth follows the self-conceited cheeks. The words hurt the daughter so badly that she couldn't see it, and that posture was just like her family begging to marry her.

Jiang Shi was speechless for a while, Gu Xiang let out a 'poof', and the plot of the scumbag married to the Duke by the daughter of the Xiangfu, I am afraid that it will be too difficult for Die to refer to.

This time she reacted very quickly, mainly because she had been in contact with Mrs. Wang a little too much, and she had an instinctive reaction when she saw her: "Aunt Wang, I know you have a bad brain and can't understand human words. I can only speak frankly, even if my little girl only loves lying high all her life, it has nothing to do with your family. Even if all the men in the world die, my little girl Gu Xiang will not even take a look at Li Zijun. Li Zijun is an unrighteous and unfilial person. A little girl thinks her mouth is dirty."

Wang was dumbfounded, her mind was in a mess: "What do you mean?"

Gu Xiang smiled: "The meaning is to avoid misunderstandings. In the future, everyone in your Li family and I should not know each other. It's easy to leave, not to see you off."

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes, and before her daughter could finish speaking, she cleverly pushed Mrs. Wang out of the door, closed it with a bang, and said bitterly, "Who are these people!"

Mrs. Wang stood at the door of Gu's house for a long time, dizzy and so angry that her heart ached. She couldn't believe it—that stinky girl Gu Sanniang dared to...

"Asshole, back then, back then..."

Back then, my father-in-law had a marriage contract with old man Gu.

It's just that Mrs. Wang only dared to slander her. After all, all these years, she clarified the marriage contract with lies. It was purely false. Now if she is allowed to slap herself in the face, even if she is not afraid of making a fool of herself, she is also worried about hurting her son's reputation.

Gu Xiang angrily yelled at Wang Shi, quite relieved.

Jiang returned to her senses and grabbed Gu Xiangqian and exhorted Wan Wan: "When a woman gets married, it's like reincarnation, so don't ignore it."

Gu Xiang responded with a smile, and suddenly felt a little hesitant in her heart. She couldn't help but think of Ah Zheng who threw himself into the river.

When I saved her, I didn't think about anything.

I have been busy for a few days, and my mind is empty.

Seeing her mother being so vigilant now, she suddenly understood that this era is different from hers. In her era, people often heard complaints that women had a hard time surviving in the world, men were promoted faster in the workplace, and women had to have children. There are countless levels and so on.

But at least most jobs can be done by men and women.

Women can go to school, go out to work, support themselves, and choose to marry or not. Divorce is just a labor pain when encountering domestic violence or gambling husbands.

But this place...is really different.

Gu Xiang withdrew from the situation of dying at any time, thinking that his long study career from kindergarten to university was more than a ten-year cold window?

Do you really want to spend your life marrying a mediocre man you don't know well?I just want to find a helper to change my destiny. Can a man like her who chooses at will really be reliable?
Gu Xiangzheng was a little worried about how to tell her parents that she didn't want to get married now, but that night, Gu Laoshi came home from the construction site with a sad and panicked look, and brought a big bad news to the family.

"What? Let Sanniang go, to be a cook in the Yongyi Army?"

There was a buzzing in Jiang's head.

Gu Laoshi also wanted to cry, but looked at Gu Xiang's pink and tender face and sighed: "What should I do!"

In these years, the daughters of ordinary people's families are so particular about not going out of the door and not going out of the second door. Life is hard, and they can't be particular about it at all.

In order to save fabric, how many poor people shorten their trouser legs a few inches, not to mention showing their ankles, and half of their calves are exposed. When they are working hard, how can they care about those miscellaneous details?

But working as a cook in a military camp is very different from finding a job in the village or county. The Gu honest couple love their daughter, how can they be willing to let their daughter show their faces?Moreover, going to work in such a place as an errand will really damage your reputation, it's not a joke!

Gu Laoshi wiped away his tears: "I'm going to ask Sun Lizheng right now. He has connections in the county, so I beg him to help us close the door. Even if I go bankrupt, I will never let my daughter..."

Gu Xiang: Oh shit! !

The diners who fell from the sky really come here for whatever they want, the brave army is still an army, if you expand your contacts in the army, it will be of great benefit to yourself and to the Gu family.

Gu Xiang's eyes sparkled with excitement: "My daughter is going!"

Gu Laoshi: "Why don't you and Zhou Dong get married tonight... woo."

The so-called magistrate who destroys the family, the county magistrate who destroys the family, the people don't fight with the officials, and he feels empty when he speaks. How can Wang Zhixian and Zhou County lieutenant allow him to refuse?

Seeing his own girl's eyes were full of tears, but trying to squeeze out a smile to comfort the couple, Gu Laoshi was in a state of turmoil: "My poor daughter!"

No matter how worried, on the second day, Gu Xiang packed his bags and left with the escort soldiers sent by Wangzhi County before dawn.

Gu Laoshi and Jiang's couple cried until their eyes were red and swollen, and their faces were full of period pain. If Gu Xiang comforted them, they would cry even harder.

Watching the carriage drift away, Jiang wiped away her tears: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide this matter. I will send a letter to my elder sister. When Sanniang comes back, I will send her to live with the elder sister for a while."

Gu Laoshi drooped his head and responded in a low voice.

The child was still young, and she didn't understand the fear of human words at all.

Jiang Shi was a little dazed: "...Sanniang is showing her face like this, will anyone recognize her face..."

"Shh."

Gu Laoshi was taken aback, and the couple looked at each other with a bit of distress on their faces.
