She Is From The Countryside

319 a ten-year-old little girl

“She clearly knows that as long as she lowers her head, everything will pass and we won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. Why is she so stubborn? do we have to go and apologize to her personally before she’ll forgive us?”

“how can you ask a group of elders to apologize? What would others think of her and the Shi family if they knew about this? she used to be so sensible, why is she so insensible this time?”

shen yan’s eyes turned red as she spoke.

“we’re all regretting it! As long as she’s back, we won’t force her to do anything. Yingluo, she’s only nineteen years old, how can she just abandon her family? isn’t she afraid that she’ll be bullied outside and no one will stand up for her?”

“You should know that the girl has been smart since she was young. She had her own fixed income at the age of ten and could support herself without relying on her family. It’s not easy for others to bully her. ” shi qing said.

” even if she was bullied, she didn’t need her family to stand up for her. have you ever seen her ask for help from her family in the past nine years? ”

don’t say that she hasn’t asked for help from her family. All these years, it’s her mother who calls her once or twice a year. Have you ever seen her take the initiative to call home? ”

the fiancé they had chosen for her was undoubtedly outstanding. however, without the shi family, she could still rely on her own excellence to meet someone who was not inferior to the fiancé they had chosen for her.

The fifth son of the Jiang family, the young head of the Jiang family, was someone even the old bones had to address as “fifth master Jiang” when they saw him.

After the fifth son of the Jiang family abandoned everything, he hid in the deep house and did not leave at all, but that girl could still meet him and even see eye to eye with him.

It could be seen that the existence of the Shi family did not have much impact on that girl.

With her personality, she had never bowed to her family when she was alone. Now that she had someone by her side, it was even more impossible for her to bow to her family.

what’s more, even if they went to apologize to her in person, she might not come back with them.

“Do you still remember the situation when that girl Yanyan left home?” shi qing asked.

“I can’t forget.”

shen yan’s thoughts drifted away.

The ten-year-old girl was picked up from school by her family’s car. She didn’t know why her family suddenly picked her up. She walked into the main hall and faced the elders who were waiting for her. She still had an indifferent expression and a calm and elegant smile as she asked the person sitting in the main seat.

“grandfather, may i know why you’ve called me back in such a hurry?”

Her grandfather said, ” I’ve arranged a marriage for you. He’s the eldest grandson of the Xie family. He’s only sixteen years old and has officially taken over the Xie family. He’s a young man with a promising future. Find a time for the two families to hold a banquet to officially announce the marriage. The main reason I called you back is to tell you this.”

the ten-year-old girl’s smile only faded a little. her eyes calmly swept over the elders sitting in the main hall and asked, ” “is this just grandfather’s idea, or all the elders” idea?”

The others unanimously expressed that it was the result of everyone’s discussion and emphasized that the eldest grandson of the Xie family was a very outstanding person, and that she would not be at a disadvantage in setting this marriage.

she stood there calmly and waited for everyone’s voices to gradually stop before she asked her parents, ” “mom, dad, what do you think?”

Her father said, ” I’ve seen that child from the Xie family. He’s not bad. He’s a good match for my daughter.

her mother said,”i’ve seen that child before. he’s really not bad.” since so many elders thought highly of her, she would not be bad. Yanyan, you’re indifferent and don’t care much about anything. I’m afraid that you’ll be bullied when you leave home and marry someone else. The Xie family and the Shi family have been friends for generations, and we have high hopes for that child of the Xie family. We can rest assured if you are with him in the future.”

She was still not affected much, and her expression was still elegant and calm.

” but this is my marriage, ” he said indifferently. ” she’s the one who’s going to live with me for the rest of her life. don’t you have to ask me if i’m willing or not? ”

“We brought you back to ask for your opinion.” Her grandfather said.

she looked at her grandfather and smiled calmly. ” but grandfather, you just said that you’ve set a marriage for me and that you’ll find a time for the two families to hold a banquet to announce the marriage. This doesn’t sound like you’re asking for my opinion. It’s more like you’ve already decided on it and you’re just informing me.

“yanyan, i know your personality. you don’t care much about these things, so there’s no point in asking you. This is the fiancé your grandfather and all your elders have chosen for you. His character, talent, and family background are all outstanding. Setting up this marriage will only bring you benefits and no harm.”

“But grandfather, I don’t want to.” The ten-year-old girl said it calmly.

This was the first time that the sensible and well-behaved little girl had expressed her wishes so straightforwardly, and everyone present was a little shocked.

after staring at her for a while, her grandfather asked uncertainly, ” “What did you just say?”

“I said I don’t want to, grandfather.”

“Why not? what’s wrong with that child of the xie family? we’re your elders, the elders who love you the most. if the other party wasn’t outstanding enough, how could we bear to marry you to him?”

“But grandfather, I’m still not willing. i’m only ten years old, it’s still too early to talk about this.”

“why is it so early? for a family like ours, it’s common to arrange an engagement with a child. we only arranged it for you after we saw the child grow up. he’s worthy of you.”

“if you still can’t accept it, then just treat it as a marriage between families. The Shi family and the Xie family have been friends for generations. Since the Xie family has made the request, and the eldest grandson of the Xie family is an outstanding one, the Shi family has no reason to refuse.”

“yanyan, you’re the daughter of the shi family and you’ve enjoyed all the conveniences that the shi family brings you since you were born. you’ve been sensible since you were young and you should understand that there’s no such thing as a free meal in this world. You’re the daughter of the Shi family. You have a responsibility to bear.”

Then, there was a flurry of praises for the eldest grandson of the Xie family. Some people also followed the old master’s words and said that she was the daughter of the Shi family and should pay the corresponding price for enjoying the convenience brought by the Shi family. She should not just enjoy it without paying.

The little girl didn’t interrupt them. She just stood there quietly and listened to them finish.

she had her usual faint smile on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

inexplicably, the noise was getting smaller and smaller.

her grandfather said, ” you don’t have to give me an answer immediately. i’ll give you half a day to think about it. you can give me an answer at night. after you’ve confirmed it, i’ll go to the xie family to discuss the time of the banquet. ”

“no need,” She said.

“i don’t want to.”

“Yanyan, we won’t harm you. You’re a child of the Shi family, how can you be so willful? You have enjoyed the convenience that the Shi family has brought you, so you should pay a certain price. This is a simple truth. You’re so smart, you should understand.” This was said by Shen Yan.

qu xuan, as her daughter-in-law, chimed in.

the meaning of his words was similar to shen yan’s.
