Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 317 The Second Daughter in the Historical Fiction 12

Song Qin was quite famous in the village when she was young.

She is beautiful, hardworking, and after watching TV a few times, she speaks Mandarin quite well.

In addition, she loves to dress up, so she has no shortage of suitors.

She originally had a boyfriend, but Song's mother thought that Song Qin's boyfriend was poor and refused to let them be together, so Song Qin had no choice but to break up with him.

Song's mother had five daughters and one son. Her son died in a car accident when he was in his twenties. Song Qin was the fourth child and did not have a high presence in the family.

Even though there are other children in the family, she gets up before dawn every day to cook for the whole family; she's not even as tall as the stove.

Every night, Song Qin has to wash the whole family's clothes. She starts crying every time she talks about this: "Your grandma is so biased. She likes the other four kids, but she just doesn't like me."

She did the most work in the whole family.

As soon as she ate a few more bites of food, Song's mother would scold her for being a money-loser. Song Qin couldn't take it anymore and went to work in another city.

On the day she left, Song's mother gave Song Qin forty yuan and let her go.

"When I went there, the fare alone cost more than 20 yuan. The factory also withheld my wages. In the first month, I couldn't even afford toilet paper."

Song Qin felt resentful whenever this was mentioned.

She would send money home every month for her mother to save.

When she returned from working for several years and asked her mother for money, her mother said it was all spent and she hadn't left her a penny.

Song Qin was so angry that she fainted.

She originally wanted to use the money to start a small business in the county, but all the hard work she had done in other places over the past few years was for nothing. How could she not hate it?

Because of this incident, Song Qin was heartbroken, and with her family constantly pressuring her to get married, she just randomly picked someone to be with.

Unexpectedly, that person hit her, and each time he hit her, he hit her hard. Song Qin was not a weak person when she was young, and she would hit back when that person hit her.

The two of them would fight every few days, and during that time Song Qin was almost covered in injuries.

Song Qin didn't like Lao Fu at first; he was listless and not her type at all.

But Song's mother really liked Lao Fu. Lao Fu was a smooth talker, and after meeting Song's mother a few times, he had her so happy that she was completely overjoyed.

Song Qin and Lao Fu got together just like that.

Although Lao Fu has many flaws, he doesn't hit her. He just likes to throw little tantrums. Song Qin has been with him for so many years, and she has gradually gotten used to it.

Forget about love; how many people in this world actually find true love? Just meet someone decent and settle for them.

But when Song Qin thought about what happened to Song Xianyin last week, her eyes suddenly reddened.

She was really heartbroken.

She didn't know what was wrong with her at the time, why she agreed so easily. She clearly hated her mother so much back then, but now she was doing the same thing.

Old Fu has been talking to her about Song Xianyin again these past few days, but she just keeps saying she'll talk about it after she graduates.

Rural areas are always both open and closed.

"Song Xianyin, did your family try to get you married off last time?" A girl secretly approached Song Xianyin.

Song Xianyin nodded: "Yes, I gave them a good scolding, and they finally behaved themselves."

The girl's lips twitched when she heard this description; it was the first time she had ever heard her family members described like that.

"Then why didn't you agree?" the girl asked, blushing.

Song Xianyin frowned: "I'm still young, and I don't like that person, he's disgusting."

The girl nodded as if she understood, her face turning even redder.

Song Xianyin looked at her intently, and the girl became a little embarrassed under her scrutiny.

She leaned close to Song Xianyin's ear and said, "My mother said I have a childhood betrothal. The man is from the next village and is about my age."

Song Xianyin looked at her curiously: "Have you two met before?"

The girl shook her head: "I haven't met her, but I'm sure I'll like her."

"That's what she'll definitely say. She's getting a bride price. Try not giving her one."

The girl's voice became even softer: "I dare not, my mother raised me with great difficulty."

Song Xianyin pretended to be an adult, her expression serious: "So when does your mother want you to get married?"

"I can't get married yet. My mother said we should have the wedding banquet first."

The girl's expression was a mixture of anticipation and fear. She didn't know what it meant, but everyone around her was looking forward to her wedding.

"Song Xianyin, why do you think that guy's family got married so early? I think people in the city get married quite late."

Looking at her bewildered expression, Song Xianyin affirmed, "Because boys can't find wives when they grow up, so they buy them when they're young."

The girl asked, confused, "Why?"

"Because girls are generally more capable than boys when they grow up, they look down on the people in the village. So when you're young, these people will tie you up tightly, afraid that you'll run away later."

The girl was a little scared by what she was being told: "Song Xianyin, you're not kidding me, are you? This is a bit scary."

How could she make it sound like she's surrounded by bad people?

The girl couldn't concentrate on the lesson all morning, and she was really scared. But Song Xianyin was smart, so what she said must be right.

"Song Xianyin, what should I do?" As soon as get out of class ended, the girl ran to Song Xianyin's side again, her voice trembling with tears.

She knew nothing about any of this to begin with, and now she was even more frightened.

Song Xianyin didn't know what to do either. She had met her family members, and they were all very fierce. She probably wouldn't dare to argue with them.

Song Xianyin honestly shook her head.

"I don't know either. Why don't you talk to your mother properly and tell her that you will go to high school and work hard to earn money to support her, and that you can talk about marriage later."

The girl said with a worried look, "This will absolutely not work."

She knows her mother too well.

Song Xianyin frowned: "Do you have an older sister who works in another city? You could ask her to get you into a reliable factory."

The girl was a little scared: "But I've never been outside before."

The matter has reached another dead end.

The two children were talking about things that were not appropriate for their age, but no matter what they talked about, the ending seemed to be the same. Some people only need one glance to see their fate.

The two fell into silence.

A girl who had been listening nearby for a long time whispered, "Juan, what if things aren't as bad as they seem?"

Song Xianyin quickly nodded: "Don't cry, Juan. I was just scaring you. Actually, I don't know anything."

She wiped the tears off A-Juan's face with her sleeve.

Juan sobbed, "It's okay, I know you're doing this for my own good, and I don't know anything about it."

How can you get married without knowing anything about it?
