NCCnovel Chapter 188 Proposal
Chapter 188 Proposal
"What a relief! I used to feel sad for this scumbag, now I'm really done for." Even a gentle man like Yunshu started swearing.
"Maybe it's because lover's eyes see beauty in everything. Lin Yuan used to be perfect in your eyes and heart! It's not too late to discover his true colors now."
The two of them sat on a large rock by the river. Yun Shu swung his feet, his face looking particularly ruddy from running just now. "Yeah! If I were the pregnant young wife, I would have collapsed! My mom is right, you have to look at the pen before buying a pig, and when you marry someone, you have to look at the family!"
Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Yes! My family is good, my parents died early, and my sister is not a picky person."
Yun Shu always felt something was wrong as she listened. She was five years older than Xia Zhi and had even been Xia Zhi's teacher, but she had never thought of having anything to do with Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi didn't mind Yun Shu's silence. He smiled and asked, "Yun Shu, what are your plans for the future?"
Yun Shu's smile faded, "What plans do you have? Just work hard and live a good life!"
"Did...something happen to you at school?" Xia Zhi asked cautiously.
Maybe it was because the sunset was too beautiful, or maybe it was because she was in high spirits after just stepping on the scumbag, Yun Shu actually felt like confiding in Xia Zhi, "Well, ever since Lin Yuan got married, there have always been some unpleasant rumors among the teachers in the school. Everyone spread the rumors, and in the end the rumors were completely distorted. Now I finally understand what it means that three people can make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can melt gold."
In this era, women are particularly harsh. The world holds women to much higher standards than men, and they are expected to earn money to support the family, take care of their husbands and children, and do housework. Men, on the other hand, just need to work hard. The moral standards for women are also higher, and if a man and a woman are in a relationship for any reason, it will be the woman's fault.
Because she has no ability and can't keep a man.
"Then why don't you think about changing your environment?" Xia Zhi asked again.
"My family is just an ordinary working-class family. How can I change jobs?" There was a hint of sadness in Yun Shu's smile.
Xia Zhi put the dogtail grass in his mouth and said casually: "I have a good idea, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
"tell me the story."
Xia Zhi held the dogtail grass tightly in his hand and said calmly: "Go to our army!"
Yun Shu looked at Xia Zhi with some confusion, a guess quietly sprouting in his mind.
"Marry me, and you can follow the army. We have a school for children of military personnel, and you can teach there."
Yun Shu's guess came to fruition, and she stood up somewhat at a loss, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the water, creating countless splashes.
Xia Zhi also stood up and stretched, "You can consider changing the environment and starting over."
Yun Shu stared into Xia Zhi's eyes, "Are you serious?"
"of course."
"You pity me?!"
"No, there are so many children who are hungry and have no parents. You don't deserve sympathy."
Yun Shu looked at the man in front of her. Yes, Xia Zhi was no longer the young boy. He was a head taller than her. He had seen her most embarrassed. She looked up at him, trying to see different emotions on his face.
Xia Zhi's face began to turn red, and finally even her neck and ears were completely red. "I surrender. Actually, I like you a little bit, just a little bit. You are not doing well now, and I am a little sad. I thought, since I have reached the age to get married anyway, I will shamelessly beg you, and maybe you will follow me to the army to suffer. I am not taking advantage of someone's misfortune, this is something I have thought about carefully. You will definitely have resistance to your mother-in-law in the future, and it just so happens that my mother died early and my sister will not go to the army, so this will just solve your problem. Although I don't earn much, I can give you all my salary and allowances for safekeeping..."
Xia Zhi's confession came unexpectedly.
Yun Shu actually considered the feasibility of marrying Xia Zhi. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, shook her head, and came to her senses, "Xia Zhi, I am five years older than you, and I have always treated you as my younger brother."
"It doesn't matter. You treat me as your younger brother, which proves that we know each other well. This is the most important prerequisite for marriage. As for being a few years older, I don't mind."
Yun Shu seemed to see the stars in Xia Zhi's eyes, "I'm not worthy of you!"
"I have a lower education than you and I am from the countryside. I am not worthy of you."
"You know what I'm talking about!"
"I know, but I don't mind." Xia Zhi answered firmly.
Maybe it was because the sunset was too beautiful, or maybe it was because the wine she drank at noon was too intoxicating, Yun Shu actually felt a little dizzy. She seemed to hear her own voice coming from a distance, "Okay, I'll go with the army!"
She felt that she was very selfish and had failed Xia Zhi's pure feelings. She was in a cage and was eager to break free. Xia Zhi was the scissors that cut off the shackles. She grabbed the scissors and didn't want to let go.
Xia Zhi’s smile was as bright as a blooming sunflower, dazzling Yun Shu’s eyes.
On the same day, Xia Zhi contacted the army and applied for marriage.
Yunshu put down the heavy burden in his heart and returned home.
Xiazhi took the train that evening and returned to Tuo County.
