Chapter 33 Uneasiness
The tears in Cai Xiufen's eyes stopped: "That's all, I'm too sensitive and always think about the bad side of things. Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow!"
The moon is bright and clear, and the night wind is as cool as water.
The Xu family is three houses away from Captain Jiang’s family.
With the window half open, Xu Chunxia was lying on the kang, listening to the snoring of her two sisters, and feeling very irritable.
From the moment she was unilaterally severed by Jiang Li yesterday afternoon to this moment, she had no idea where she had exposed herself, so that the fool she had always thought saw her thoughts and was unwilling to even listen to her explanation. The slightest bit of affection between the two, scorning her, and being so determined that he no longer recognizes her as a friend?
Since she couldn't sleep after thinking about it, Xu Chunxia stood up and pushed the window completely open. She also sat in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window and feeling dazed by the cool breeze blowing from the mountain.
“Third sister, what are you doing sitting in front of the window when you’re not sleeping?”
Xu Chunmei rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked at Xu Chunxia dissatisfiedly under the moonlight: "You look weird from yesterday afternoon to now. Third sister, what is on your mind? Why don't you tell me and let me hear it?" , I might be able to come up with a solution for you, but don’t let my sister stay awake if you don’t sleep.”
The Xu family has six brothers and sisters.
Xu Chunxia has one brother and one sister above her, and two sisters and one brother below her.
In dentition order, Xu Chunxia is the third eldest child in the family. She is not favored by her mother because she is in the middle.
"What's weird about me? You're wrong. Go to sleep and leave me alone."
There are many brothers and sisters, and it is inevitable that each of them has their own thoughts. In addition, Xu Chunxia’s mother-in-law favors sons over daughters. In this family, Xu Chunxia, including her eldest sister, fourth sister, and sixth sister, to their mother-in-law, she is the daughter of the two brothers in the family. The cost of getting a wife.
For example, the eldest sister Xu Chunyue was betrothed to an old bachelor in his thirties by my mother-in-law the year before last, just for the 500 yuan gift money.
With this money, I immediately made a marriage arrangement for my second brother Xu Chunlai, regardless of whether my eldest sister Xu Chunyue would have an easy life after getting married.
And she is eighteen years old, which is supposed to be the age for marriage, but for the sake of having more labor in the family, for the sake of having someone to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and for the sake of her little friendship with Li Bao, I have not mentioned giving her a gift so far. She looks at others.
This undoubtedly made her feel more relieved. After all, she had someone in her heart, and she didn't want to be like an eldest sister who was casually sent away for a small gift.
However, after what happened yesterday and what happened today in front of the Jiang family, Xu Chunxia felt unsure.
She is worried that after her mother-in-law learns that Li Bao has broken off the relationship with her, she will sell her as an animal just like he did to his eldest sister.
She will be sold to whoever pays more.
“Third sister, just be tough. I guess you are so upset that you can’t sleep because Sister Li Bao is no longer friends with you, right?”
Xu Chunmei said seriously that she was sixteen this year, and she was at the age to talk about marriage. But the year before last, she accidentally discovered the secret of the third sister, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to the third sister's affairs.
In this way, yesterday afternoon, yes, yesterday afternoon, she took a nap while working, and happened to see the third sister, Brother Weimin of the Zhou family, and Su Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Academy. Walking together, with doubts, she followed the three of them cautiously, and finally heard the conversation between the three sisters and Sister Li Bao.
She really didn't expect that Sister Li Bao, who looked innocent and a bit silly, had already known that her third sister was interested in Brother Weimin of the Zhou family, and she never expected that Sister Li Bao would mercilessly expose her third sister's thoughts yesterday. Cut off friendship with her third sister.
