Chapter 33: She Chose to get Married.
Chapter 33
After changing into pajamas and lying on the big bed in the bedroom, her face was covered with a face mask that she had just made. The memory foam mattress here was much more comfortable than the one outside, and the temperature was just right without mosquitoes.
She didn't take off the solidified face mask until the time was up, and then she selected a set of skin care products for skin care. The skin that had just been masked didn't show much effect yet, but it felt obviously smoother than before when touched by hand.
Mei Mei took another nap, and when she woke up, she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.
The sounds she made in the space could not be heard outside, but as long as the distance was not too far, she could still perceive the sounds made outside.
Opening the door, it was time to eat dinner again, and this day went by so fast.
"Why did you lock the door as soon as you entered the room when there are no outsiders at home?" Zhou Nan muttered.
An ZhiXia certainly could not tell the truth, she could only say, "I was born with a lack of security, I always feel uneasy without locking the door."
Zhou Nan only thought it was the aftereffect left in her when she was in the Gao family before, so she didn't say anything more, she just felt upset in her heart.
She didn't know what kind of karma she had created that she came across such things.
The daughter she had raised for so many years was not her own, and when her own daughter was found, she also made the family discordant.
It wasn't that she didn't understand that it wasn't ZhiXia's fault, but the adopted daughter had also been raised as her own for so many years. To say that there was no feeling at all and to sever ties just like that, how could that be possible?
As time went by little by little, in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
At breakfast, Liu Ling looked at An ZhiXia's face that was clearly a little fatter, and asked, "ZhiXia, have you become fairer? And you look much prettier than when you first came back now."
An ZhiXia: "Maybe because I didn't go out much at home during this time and was kept warm, I also feel that I am fairer than before, and my skin is more delicate too."
She put on a face mask every day. If she didn't become fairer, she would really fail to live up to those pearls she had wasted, as well as the Chinese herbal medicines that had a whitening effect.
It was only then that Zhou Nan suddenly realized that the changes in this daughter were quite big recently. She had gained some weight, her complexion had become whiter, and she looked more like her.
The soft spot in her heart was inadvertently touched.
"Make two more warm clothes for you when I have time in a few days. Girls should dress better to look good." The fabric she bought last time was used to make two pants for her. It was almost September, and the weather would turn cold soon. It would be too late to make thick clothes after it got cold.
An ZhiXia expressed her gratitude.
After finishing his meal, An JingZhi put down his bowl and saw that there was still some time before going to work. He said, "The literacy class has been launched in our neighborhood. You can also go to class when you have nothing to do at home. If you don't understand, you can ask me or your brothers when you come back."
Although she was past the school age, learning more words was always good.
An MeiYun's work did not need to be arranged, but recently An JingZhi was also worried about letting An ZhiXia do something.
She was eighteen and not that young anymore. She had to attend a class anyway, he didn't expect her to earn much, at least she had something to do.
"My fourth brother has already told me about this. I have been going to class every day these days." Her own knowledge was no worse than anyone else's, but of course she couldn't tell them that she had attended school when she was a ghost, so she had to find a suitable reason to learn words.
An JingZhi didn't expect her to be so enlightened either, he was clearly very gratified, and urged her to study hard.
The registration for educated youth was before enlisting in the army. No matter how An MeiYun made trouble these days, or came home early and late to confront the family, Old Master An's decision was not something An JingZhi dared to go against.
On that day, An JingZhi specifically took a day off to take An MeiYun to the neighborhood committee to voluntarily register as a sent-down youth.
However, he was stunned by a sentence from An MeiYun, "I can't go to the countryside anymore, I'm already married."
In order to get married, An MeiYun had also shamelessly gone all out.
But she didn't care about so much anymore. In 1977, the college entrance examination was restored, and educated youth began to return to the city gradually. Some people did not return until the 1980s.
An MeiYun's studies had always been poor since childhood, and she was the only one of the An family's children who had not even attended high school. Even if she took the college entrance exam, she certainly wouldn't pass.
It could be said that she knew her own limits. Some things simply could not be changed even if she was reborn, such as going to school.
But this sentence stunned both An JingZhi and Zhou Nan.
"Married? MeiYun, what are you talking about?" Zhou Nan stared in disbelief.
"I'm not kidding, I got married. I got a marriage certificate with Lin Hao the day before yesterday." On the contrary, An MeiYun was very calm, looking at An JingZhi sarcastically, "Dad must feel very distressed now, right? You said the An family needed someone to go to the countryside, but now there is only your biological daughter left. I don't know if you can bear to let her go or not?"
An JingZhi didn't speak, but the way he looked at An MeiYun was very disappointed.
This was the daughter he had raised for eighteen years!
Old Master was right, he was really blinded by affection, so he couldn't see clearly and almost harmed the family.
The unwillingness and resentment in MeiYun's eyes, even if it only appeared occasionally, was too obvious.
Keeping her at home would likely cause chaos.
An JingZhi tried to stay calm, to make himself look less concerned. "Whether to get married or not is your own choice. Your mother and I have done our best for you. Since you'd rather marry casually than go to the countryside, move out and live by yourself as soon as possible."
"Old An, what are you talking about? The child got married so casually without us even knowing who the other person is, and you didn't even ask before..."
"No matter if it's good or bad, it was her own choice!"
An JingZhi shouted angrily, which even scared Zhou Nan who rarely lost his temper.
After An JingZhi left, Zhou Nan was still stunned for a long time, but An MeiYun slumped dejectedly in the chair with a look of sarcasm in her eyes.
Zhou Nan came over to pull her. "MeiYun, tell mom quickly, what exactly is going on?"
An MeiYun dodged expressionlessly, "Anyway, now that your biological daughter is back, I, the adopted daughter, am no longer important. Does anyone care what the situation is?"
Zhou Nan wanted to say something more, but An MeiYun didn't give her a chance. She got up and left, slamming the door and isolating Zhou Nan outside.
An ZhiAng comforted Zhou Nan, "Mom, don't cry. It's not worth it for An MeiYun. Can't you see what kind of choice she has made? She is a selfish person who does everything for herself, when has she ever thought about others?"
If the family really needed someone to be sent down, her messing things up like this would disrupt all plans.
In the crucial juncture between life and death, her reckless behavior could kill the whole family.
Unfortunately, Zhou Nan was in no mood to listen to such words at all. "Shut up! It's all because you all side with ZhiXia! If you had paid a little more attention to MeiYun, she wouldn't have been forced to this point!"
