Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 527 Olivia's Story

"The welcoming procession passed by Nanshan, and Zhu Yingtai got off the sedan chair and came to Liang Shanbo's tomb. Just as she was putting down the sacrifices for the deceased, suddenly there was a strong wind and dark clouds, and a huge crack opened in Liang Shanbo's tomb "

"Seeing this, Zhu Yingtai jumped in without hesitation, and the crack-like gap was instantly closed. People looked at each other, at a loss."

"Just as the crowd ended their quarrel and were about to leave Nanshan, a pair of butterflies flew out of the tomb where Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were buried together. This is the 'Butterfly Transformation' and the last one in "Blessings of Love". The story the music tells."

After a story was told, the little guy in Carter's arms had fallen into a deep sleep.As for Olivia beside her, she remained silent for a long time, her pupils flickering, as if she heard herself from the story of Butterfly Lovers, and also seemed to be thinking about the relationship between legends and musical expressions.

Carter silently put Lisa gently on the bed, and then covered her with the little quilt that belonged to the little guy. The melody of Yu Lin's version of "The Butterfly Lovers" echoed faintly
Compared with Olivia, Carter has already passed the stage of hearing and feeling.Comparing these foreigners, Carter, who already knew about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, when he heard "The Butterfly Lovers" for the first time, his reaction was not much better than that of Olivia.

Who doesn't want their love to be as firm and affectionate as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
"Shet."

"Etiquette, etiquette, why does Zhu Yingtai foolishly abide by that etiquette law? The Chinese law that requires parents to decide on marriage should be abolished like our law prohibiting abortion!"

"you cough"

Olivia's eyes were red, and so was her face.
"Ha ha ha shh. Let's go down and talk, Lisa is asleep."

It was the first time I heard Olivia swear, and it was also the first time I saw Olivia blushing like a little girl, Carter suddenly felt a little funny.

That's how it feels like a person.
"it is good"

Olivia's slightly sniffling response suddenly became a little gentle to Carter's ears.Compared with the previous indifference, for the first time, there was a little warmth.
"Carter, does China still prohibit free marriage?"

"Of course not. Liang Zhu is a folk tale in history. The background of the story is more than [-] years old. In China today, although parents' opinions are still important, the final decision is in the hands of the parties themselves. inside."

"very nice."

At the dining table, after sitting down relatively, Olivia's mood is still in an unstable state:
"Carter, are you from the South?"

"Yes."

Carter nodded, his accent was obvious.Likewise, after living in the United States for so long, Carter can tell that Olivia also has a southern accent.
"Your voice sounds like someone from South Carolina"

"Basically, I'm from Georgia."

"I'm a Texan"

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! It's all old Dixie! Should I shake your hand, ma'am?"

Carter smiled playfully, trying to ease the oppressive atmosphere.

"Fuck you! I'm old Dixieland!"

"Aren't you a Texan?"

"My home. My former home is in Jefferson County. Two steps to the east is Cameron Parish in Louisiana! I said I am Dixieland, is there a problem?"

Ah this
Carter was a little embarrassed, this is the southern guy among the southerners!
In particular, I seem to have mentioned a topic that made Olivia's heartache.
Combined with the "abortion" mentioned in Olivia's murmur, Carter was shocked.
As a Texan close to Louisiana, the birthplace of old Dixie, what Olivia may have experienced, Carter, a half-Texan, seems to have guessed
Abortion is prohibited
Especially in Texas, abortion is completely prohibited, including forced pregnancy of victims of rape and incest, and abortion is not allowed, otherwise it is a crime!
The conservative American South is not as liberal as most people think.

In some respects, it is even more perverted than traditional Chinese ethics!
Just like.
"Carter. What do you think of my family?"

"Ah, it's good. Although it's not that gorgeous, it's very warm."

"You're not considerate like a Southern man."

Olivia smiled self-deprecatingly:

"You can be more direct, I can see the discomfort on your face. Damn rich."

"Hey! For you, money and warmth are not equal. If you don't consider the space for children's activities, I prefer small houses, simple."

"The small house you like is not like mine, a small broken house where you can't even sit on the sofa!"

After Olivia's words, Carter immediately shut up.There is no way to refute this.
In the next moment, something even more unexpected happened to Carter:

I saw Olivia suddenly turned sideways, hugged Carter, buried her head in Carter's chest, and said in a choked voice:

"Carter. Later, at night. I will teach you in private, you. You."

After stumbling and stumbling several times, Olivia couldn't fully express her intentions.
"And then I pay, right?"

Carter sighed, and gently put his hands on Olivia's back.

"how old are you?"

"22"

"I see."

All doubts are solved!
Texans, old Dixieland family, 22 years old, a [-] to [-] year old kid, and this little shack in the Latino junk neighborhood
A story has formed in Carter's mind:

22 years ago, a beautiful little girl was born in a small town in the southern United States.She loves music and studies hard until an "unexpected" pregnancy.Forced by the prohibition of abortion laws, as well as local conservative ideas that are somewhat perverted
She had to give birth to that fetus and had to accept her fate of being kicked out of the house.Xin Lu started to study, work, and take care of children by himself until now
The couple had a dilapidated house, but it belonged to their own home.

It's just this family that has dragged down her finances
What happened to Olivia's accident?
Is it the victim of rape, or was he deceived by a scumbag when he was young and ignorant?
Carter didn't ask.

It's not easy to ask, and there is no need to ask
From a personal emotional point of view, Olivia's teaching is better and more serious than that of Carter's teacher.And, for this girl who became a mother early
Carter is sympathetic.

Texas law prohibits abortion, but not the abandonment of babies, right?In other words, if the child who was a heavy burden was really lost, the police didn't have the time to really get serious with her.
However, she didn't.
To help Olivia get justice, Carter is not in the mood, nor is he capable. Abortion, this is one of the common "3G1A" problems in the United States. Is this kind of problem that a small shrimp like me can touch?

Besides, the relationship between the two has not reached that point.

But if he just enrolls in a tutoring class and supports Olivia financially, Carter is still happy.

I am in it, and I also gain something, don't I?
Ugh.
