Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 53 The Spring of Jinmei

Jinmei carefully dressed in her room. The delicate flowers on the table had long since withered, but she was still reluctant to throw them away. Every day before going to bed, she picked them up and held them under her nostrils to smell the fragrance carefully.

I don't know why Sanniang asked me to go out, Jinmei's heart is beating so hard, and I don't know whether to go or not, but if I don't go, Sanniang will definitely be disappointed with me, maybe I won't pay attention to myself in the future up.

Sanniang was alone without in-laws, and she was gentle and interested in herself. It was rare for him to find such a suitable person.

Seeing that the time agreed by the two is coming up, Jinmei still intends to keep the appointment. He can't live on his parents and younger sister for the rest of his life, and he should have his own family.

She randomly picked a handkerchief from among the many handkerchiefs she had embroidered all night long as a gift and took it out. Mrs. Zhao saw her son combing his hair with lice that couldn't even stand up and slipped out, knowing it in his heart. He thought he was bewitched, but he went out more often recently, maybe there are people outside.

If his child was in full bloom, Mrs. Zhao would definitely not let it go like this, but with his son's appearance, if he really had a lover, he didn't want to care so much. After all, Jinmei's appearance is not afraid of recruiting bad guy.

It's just that when he has a chance, he, as a father, still has to think clearly. He doesn't have any other requirements for Jinmei's wife, as long as he treats Jinmei well, but if the family's morals are not good, he will not agree. Jinmei also suffers after passing, and it is not as good as her mother's family raising her to live happily.

Although it is unavoidable to be subject to gossip from outsiders, but I know what kind of food I eat in my life, and I can just ignore those words.

Jinmei came to the bridge beside the river in the town with peach blossoms on her face. She was wearing a plain oiled paper umbrella. From a distance, she was quite pretty. This back made many girls take a second look, but when she got closer When seeing the scar on Jinmei's face, most of the eyes became more polite, and the thoughts of striking up a conversation were also withdrawn, and they turned to appreciate the beautiful scenery of weeping willows and ducks swimming in pairs by the river.

With sunken eyes and a tired face, Hong Sanniang walked out from the depths of the alley, folded the paper in her hand and put it in the deepest part of her pocket so as not to accidentally fall out, and then walked to a large house with ease. At the back door of the house, the brightest flower was plucked from the few withered bouquets left.

When Hong Sanniang thought of Jinmei, the tiredness in her eyes faded a lot.

She saw Jinmei standing on the bridge from a distance. If she looked at it from a distance, it would be unavoidable, but unfortunately her face was very ferocious, but she never cared about Jinmei's appearance.

Beauty has never meant anything to her.

Hong Sanniang held the flowers behind her back, and walked over with a smile on her face: "I'm really sorry to keep Jinmei waiting for a long time. The things in the shop just now are considered to be over, so I came late, and these flowers are for you. You should make amends."

Jinmei's face was rosy, her eyes were full of spring, and she took out the handkerchief in her hand: "Jinmei also has something for Sanniang, if Sanniang doesn't dislike it, please accept it."

Hong Sanniang took the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the man in front of her. This was a token of love.

I have limited time, so I have to hurry up and get things done with my younger sister, otherwise there will be no troubles.

Hong Sanniang pinned the flowers in her hand to Jinmei's ears. The delicate flowers and the man's shyness made the scene much more beautiful.

Hong Sanniang's eyes are full of Jinmei's appearance: "It's so beautiful".

Which man doesn't like compliments from his sweetheart, now Jinmei is even more shy: "San Niang, you are also very good."

But in the blink of an eye, Hong Sanniang's eyes looked into the distance, with indelible fatigue and melancholy in her eyes, which made Jinmei a little distressed.

I couldn't help but want to explain something to Sanniang: "Sanniang seems to have something on her mind, I wonder if I can tell Jinmei about it."

Hong Sanniang took a look at Jinmei and seemed to be entangled and wandering between whether to say or not to say, but after taking a breath, she still planned to talk to Jinmei: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I care too much about my sweetheart. I don't want to talk about it." I know if my sweetheart will leave me if I say this."

Hearing the words "sweetheart", Jinmei knew that Sanniang was referring to herself. Some expectations and some fears were not good for her, but seeing Sanniang's sad appearance was probably because she had brought her a lot. Troubled, couldn't help feeling distressed: "Sanniang, tell me, if Jinmei can do something to relieve Sanniang's worries, Jinmei will be very happy."

Jinmei and Hong Sanniang have always maintained a distance of half a meter, which gave Jinmei a sense of security. She knew that Sanniang was a reliable person. Although the two met, they did not do anything out of the ordinary or cause people to misunderstand their reputation. Bad things.

Suddenly Hong Sanniang turned around very excitedly and faced Jinmei who was very sincere and serious in her eyes.

"Sister Jin, you know that I lost my father and mother when I was young. Do you have any brothers and sisters who have lived alone for so long, and no one has ever arranged any marriage for me. I run a small shop by myself and don't make much money. , If any man follows me, it may not be a blessing, but I like you, so I asked you out today just to be cheeky, to ask if you like me too, if you would like to marry me as a husband, and advance and retreat together with me."

Immediately afterwards, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist: "This jade pendant has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. If Jinmei is willing, please accept this jade pendant. If Jinmei doesn't want Sanniang, she will definitely not bother you. We will meet later I will definitely not talk to the young master again, just treat Sanniang as ignorant these days."

Jinmei was surprised and moved, but this incident was too sudden for him, he hadn't had time to tell his father, even if he wanted to, how could he rashly accept other people's things and agree.

"San Niang, can you..."

Hong Sanniang saw the hesitation in Jinmei's eyes, how could she give the man in front of her a chance, she was going to win today, pretending to take the jade pendant back, with a look of disappointment on her face: "I'm sorry, I thought I liked it so much You, you also like me. Since Mr. Wen is not willing, my Sanniang will never force me, and I will never pester you in the future. I hope you can find a wishful lady who can hold you in her hand like me and never let you suffer".

After finishing speaking, she wanted to leave resolutely, Jinmei was anxious, he couldn't lose this opportunity, he finally got this opportunity, and anxiously shouted at Sanniang's back: "Sanniang, don't go, I am willing".

Jinmei is afraid, afraid that Sanniang will really leave like this. She is the first woman who cares about herself so much and cares about herself so much since she grew up. He can't just let her down like this.

Sanniang, who turned her back to Jinmei, curled her lips, but when she turned around, her face was full of excitement: "Jinmei, what you said is true, but you didn't lie to me."

Seeing Sanniang turn around, Jinmei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Of course I didn't lie to Sanniang, but I have to go back and talk to my father about this matter."

Hong Sanniang held Jinmei's hand excitedly. I don't know why Jinmei felt disgusted, but she didn't push it away. She let this pull and watched Sanniang eager to marry him back happily replaced this trivial disgust.
"Then hurry up and talk to your parents, I want to marry you and go home, the sooner the better, otherwise I don't worry about it, if you go back on your word, it's fine, we will find a good day to get married this month Well, next month I will hurry up and go to other places to buy goods, and you will go with me when you get married, and I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

At this moment, Jinmei's mind was hot, and she couldn't refuse Sanniang's fiery eyes, besides, he didn't want to hold a wedding with his appearance, as long as both families knew about it, besides, Sanniang was pitiful for one person to gain a foothold here. There are no elders.

"I'll go talk to my parents. If they agree, my mother will give you the paperwork. We will go to the government to get the letter of appointment, and I will follow you."

Jinmei also knows that Sanniang has no elders, and this wedding is not easy to organize: "I don't want a complicated wedding, as long as you promise to treat me like this in the future."

This is something that Hong Sanniang can't wait for, and besides, she doesn't have the money to play with these fancy things, the simpler the better.

Repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, Jinmei, even if I eat chaff by myself in my life, I will never wrong my husband."

After making some promises, the two left reluctantly.

When Jinmei returned home, Mrs. Zhao was already sitting in the yard, as if you were explaining to me where you went.

"Jinmei, you've been a little bit abnormal recently, and your father is from here. This is a good thing for you. You should talk to your father carefully."

He originally planned to talk to his father, but since his father asked him, he planned to confess, and dragged Mrs. Zhao into his room to tell everything about himself and Hong Sanniang.

However, Mrs. Zhao disagreed: "Jinmei is too hasty. There is no one who gets married so fast. Besides, we haven't got the bottom of that Sanniang. Dad doesn't agree, but it can't be so fast. ".

But if Sanniang repents quickly, what should I do, and said anxiously: "Father, I know the details of Sanniang. It is not easy to be alone. Both parents have gone. I will be comfortable when I marry. Anyway, I want to marry." Sanniang even gave me their ancestral jade pendant."

Immediately afterwards, he looked like he was about to cry again: "Father, look at me, I finally found someone, what if it doesn't work, my son doesn't want to be alone all his life, my son wants someone to rely on, if my son looks dignified, would you be so anxious?" , even if there are three Sanniangs, I might not like it."

Mrs. Zhao knew her son's heart knot, so she didn't want to say much. In fact, what her son said was not unreasonable, but he was really worried: "Isn't there still one month left, I will have a good talk with your mother tomorrow, Let Hao'er inquire about it before we make a plan, otherwise father will definitely not let you marry and be wronged."

Jinmei felt that she had suffered less grievances in this family, but she nodded and agreed in order to avoid a strained relationship with her father.

Mrs. Zhao immediately went to Hao'er in a hurry, and told Hao'er about her sister-in-law.

Seeing that her daughter was not in a hurry at all, Mrs. Zhao became even more anxious: "Okay, Jinmei is also your elder brother, please take care of me. I know Jinmei's stubborn temper, which is serious. Sure, look at Hong Sanniang."

Seeing that the father-in-law was getting angry, Fufu immediately brought tea over: "Daddy, the wife-in-law will take care of it, don't worry."

Wen Haohao didn't even intend to look at that person, so he denied that person: "Then Hong Sanniang can't do it! Even if it's for the reputation of the second brother, she will not let the second brother decide things privately without your consent."

"At least she should invite a matchmaker to come and tell you. Isn't this ruining the second brother's reputation? Besides, why are you in such a hurry? If you are afraid that someone will run away, you should get engaged first. Why rush to get married in such a wild way? There must be something hidden." .

It's not that Mrs. Zhao didn't think about this: "Jinmei said that Sanniang's child is not easy, and there are no sisters after death, and it is reasonable to not understand the rules."

Wen Hao put down the teacup leisurely, she would definitely take care of her second brother's affairs: "Then I'll go inquire tomorrow and meet that Hong Sanniang."

Hearing what her daughter said, Zhao felt relieved.

No one he could trust more than Holly.

Seeing that Wen Hao was going out the next day, Xiao Feng wanted to join in the fun when he heard about it: "My dear sister, take me with you, and I will help you to see, I have many brothers and sisters in my family, so I can palm them for them in the future." Eye".

Xiao Feng is a big family, Wen Hao has never asked about it, but according to what she revealed, anyway, her mother has seven or eight men in the family alone, and the outer room can't be counted with ten fingers, so there are naturally many brothers and sisters , but there are only two girls in the direct line, she and her elder sister. She was a little girl who grew up being pampered.

Wen Hao didn't refuse either, but in the end she didn't meet Hong Sanniang directly, she just asked her people to inquire about Hong Sanniang's neighbors, but she didn't find out, and she frowned after going to Wen Hao's casino.

He moved here in the past two years, his name is not Hong Sanniang, but Hong Shi, but he has a shop, but this Hong Shi seldom goes to the shop every day to take care of it, and basically has no income. Not much communication with neighbors.

Wen Hao only glanced at Hong Sanniang from a distance, then shook his head: "Sister Xiao, let's go."

Just sat down for a while: "You just glanced at it from such a distance and there will be a result, don't you go to question and question?".

Wen Hao smiled and shook his head: "You see, she is listless, her face is sallow, her face is haggard and her eyes are sunken, and she pokes her palms from time to time to look left and right. She is obviously an addicted gambler. She probably owes gambling debts and is afraid of being caught. But she is a bit smart, every time she goes back, she chooses in the middle of the night when there is no one in Sangen, no one knows where she lives, the name is fake, and the debtors can’t find her.”

After getting along with Xiao Feng and Wen Hao these two days, she is more and more surprised. There is always a feeling that she stands out from the crowd in this small town, and she is more determined to make friends with her. Maybe it will have a great influence on her in the future. s help.

Anyway, since I came out for a trip, I must make a few more friends to be rewarded.

Xiao Fenghao bluntly applauded Wen Hao: "Then this marriage will not come true."

But Wen Hao shook his head: "Not necessarily".

Xiao Feng didn't understand, since this person is so hip-stretched, this marriage must not be agreed: "Why?".

Wen Hao put down his teacup and was about to get up: "Of course, I will tell my parents and Jinmei in detail about the situation, but I can't stop Jinmei from choosing, and I respect his choice."

Xiao Feng disagreed: "Isn't this hurting your brother? It's going to be a pain in the past."

Wen Hao smiled and shook his head without further explanation.

People have to suffer some hardships to grow up. It's no use for her to stop her, but it will make the second brother hate her. It's better to let him choose. If he regrets and wants to come back later, she will always accept him as her mother's family.
