Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game
Chapter 70 Women don’t have to marry
Her face was pale and sluggish, her skin clinging to her bones, and almost every bone in her thin body could be counted.
She has a beautiful face. If she had more flesh on her cheeks, she would be a little beauty.
But her smart eyes were sunk deep in the sockets, looking helpless and tired, as if she had lost hope in life.
Some of the withered and yellow hair was randomly tied into the simplest bun without any decoration, not even a free wild flower in the mountains. It was bare and extremely monotonous.
"This is too thin. It hurts even if I reach out and touch it..."
Then he lowered his eyes and looked at the clothes he was wearing. He saw a shabby blue dress that had been rinsed many times and was already extremely thin to the touch.
The pair of shoes on his feet seemed to be the most decent thing on his body, but the shoes seemed to be a bit ill-fitting and could be thrown out if he moved even slightly.
Jiang Qiucheng held his forehead with one hand, almost fainting from the terrible start in front of him.
It is estimated that the current time period should be just after the original owner's filial piety period.
Originally, the family still had some savings, but in recent years it was difficult for her as an orphan to make a living, so she could only make ends meet by selling items and digging wild vegetables.
Like ants moving, the originally poor home became even more dilapidated.
Jiang Qiucheng now has a headache. Not to mention other things, just taking good care of this body will take a lot of time and energy, not to mention material and financial resources.
After eating wild vegetables for three years, there was no oil or water left in his stomach. Jiang Qiucheng touched his shriveled belly and looked up to the sky with a sigh.
"I really want to eat meat!"
I didn't have this desire at first, but later, as if I had adapted to this body, I burst out with a strong desire to eat.
The original owner didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten. His stomach was so empty that he couldn't even make a sound of water.
Jiang Qiucheng lowered his head in despair, and couldn't help but miss the carefree days of wine and meat.
"Alas, no matter how unrestrained and unrestrained it is, it is in the past. Living a good life now is the real thing."
After a brief complaint, Jiang Qiucheng cheered up again, trying to find something useful to help him overcome the difficulties at hand.
There was a musty and damp smell in the room. Jiang Qiucheng wrinkled his nose in discomfort and shifted his gaze to the other side of the room.
There are several baskets of untreated straw piled in the corner, covered with blue rags, like a hill with a withered yellow tone.
There were some broken small utensils and rusty farm tools scattered around, as if they had not been picked up for a long time.
"Huh? There's a cabinet."
Jiang Qiucheng muttered and walked over, hoping to find something valuable from the cabinet.
The cabinet door in the corner was loose and crumbling. The combined wooden door made a mocking sound as Jiang Qiucheng pulled it, and an old musty smell escaped at the same time.
Jiang Qiucheng resisted the discomfort coming from his senses and took a look inside.
It was found that apart from a few clay pots and broken bowls with cracked openings, there was only an object wrapped in a handkerchief.
"what is this?"
The other things were put away so casually, but this little thing was neatly folded and wrapped in a handkerchief. It was obvious that the owner was very concerned about it.
Jiang Qiucheng only received a general background of the world, and was not clear about such trivial matters.
Therefore, she was full of curiosity at the moment and wanted to reach out and take it out to find out.
In fact, she thought so and did so.
Jiang Qiucheng reached out and took out the handkerchief, placed it in the palm of his hand, and carefully opened it. The last thing that caught my eye was a simple silver hairpin with no fancy design, just a few elegant textures.
The pattern is even a little blurred. It can be seen that the owner likes it very much and has rubbed it countless times.
This silver hairpin still feels heavy to the touch and should be worth some money, but it has been stored well, so it should be a very important thing.
Jiang Qiucheng's head ached for a moment, and then he remembered that this hairpin was the last thing left by his grandmother before she left.
As she remembered this incident, the feeling of her grandmother's old and warm hands touching the top of her head also revived.
Like a chain reaction, memories related to it flooded into my mind.
"A Cheng, in the days to come, you can only rely on yourself."
"Remember, no matter what happens, don't shed tears easily. Grandma will be so anxious in heaven."
"Life has to be lived. As long as you press forward with all your strength, you will never have a bad life."
……
Grandma's earnest teachings rang in my ears again, making the tip of my nose sore.
This time, Jiang Qiucheng will not disappoint her expectations and will definitely live a prosperous life!
Jiang Qiucheng was immersed in sad emotions. Before he could completely escape, there was a sudden fierce slapping sound at the door.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Sister Acheng! Are you at home?!"
"How have you considered what I told you two days ago?"
"I'm not talking about you. You're not young anymore. You can be considered an old girl among girls. Keeping your filial piety has delayed your time for several years. Now that you're finally out of your filial piety period, it's time to pack up and prepare to get married."
"Auntie treats you well. The people she helps you find are all good people. It's pretty good that they don't dislike you for being too thin and difficult to have children. You should stop hesitating and being picky."
"We are all from the village. Don't act like a eldest lady. To put it bluntly, you have no one at home now. It's the right thing to find a strong and capable husband to rely on."
……
The people outside didn't seem to care at all about Jiang Qiucheng's reaction and kept talking to themselves.
After a few words, Jiang Qiucheng identified the other party. She was Matchmaker Wang, whose main business was matchmaking in the village.
She had come to see the original owner several times earlier, but she had just come out of her filial piety period at that time, and the original owner was afraid of causing criticism, so she put it off first.
The original owner himself was also indecisive and weak in character. Under the lobbying of Matchmaker Wang, he actually had his mind set.
Her life was too miserable, so she always fantasized about someone who could take her out of her misery.
She has thought about many roles for this person, the most common being her future husband.
She would rather believe that a person she has never met can help her than believe that she can open up a new world.
The environment creates people, and the current situation affects people. The tragic fate of the original owner also stems from the limitations of his own thinking to a large extent.
This is not her fault, but because of her, people cannot make decisions beyond their own knowledge.
Today is probably the day when she originally agreed to get married and began to lead a miserable life.
But everything is different now, Jiang Qiucheng is here, and she will not make the same mistakes again.
This time, she will live a different life!
