Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1644 - 938: Let’s Escape First

Father Li also glared at his wife: "Danni went to the big city for Er Ni and Xiao Ning, not to enjoy herself. Comparing her to Yu Lian is belittling Danni."

Mrs. Li, contradicted by her youngest daughter and husband, was somewhat annoyed: "I’m just confused because I’m anxious. You’re not a mother, so how can you know my thoughts?"

"I’m not a mother, but I am a father." Father Li said, extinguishing the cigarette butt with force, "I know, my daughter is stronger than any son, and if she’s not married now, it’s because this family has held her back."

"Dad, Mom, I’ve never felt this family held me back, and I think even if I went to college, it wouldn’t necessarily be better than now."

This issue, Li Xiaoyan and Li Xiaoxian have debated over, so when Li Xiaoxian heard her sister say this, she chimed in: "Dad, Mom, my sister is now a manager, and many of the employees under her are college graduates. Isn’t she in charge of everything? Look at the college grads in our village, who has done as well as my sister?"

Mrs. Li glared at her youngest daughter: "You ungrateful girl, if your sister didn’t sacrifice for this family, for you, would she have delayed herself this long? No matter how much a woman achieves, or how much money she makes, it’s not as good as having a good husband’s family. Never mind, you won’t understand even if I talk to you now."

"Mom, everything my sister has done for Xiao Ning and me, we are very clear about. In the future, we will never forget her kindness. In this lifetime, the way we respect you and Dad is how we will honor her as well.

But there’s one thing, I disagree with what you said. Finding a good husband’s family is very important for a woman, but what exactly is a good husband’s family? In our rural area, a so-called good husband’s family is no more than having money, so that marrying into it means a good life.

But when the matchmaker introduces, they only say good things, and the couple barely meets a few times before the elders of both families start arranging engagement and marriage. If after the wedding you find out the man is not on the right path, what can you do?

What else can you do but endure? If you don’t endure, divorce will make everyone laugh at you, and remarrying into a good family is also difficult. So, I think, here, whether a woman can find a good husband’s family is entirely a gamble. If you bet right, you live a happy life; if you bet wrong, you endure it forever.

Given my sister’s current situation, what’s the need to return to the countryside and gamble? Her age may be considered old for someone unmarried here, but in the city, she’s still young.

Dad, Mom, people in the city believe marriage is a lifelong matter, and the most important is for two people to have compatible temperaments and characters. But for that, it requires a lot of time together to understand each other.

In our place, who’s going to give you time to spend together? After a blind date, they can’t wait to get married the next day, the purpose being to save on holiday gifts. Tell me, is this to marry a wife or to marry a baby-making machine?

Of course, it doesn’t mean people in the city live better than us in the village, but at least, their way is more reliable than ours..."

Father Li interrupted Li Xiaoxian by tapping his fingers on the edge of the kang: "Er Ni, I think studying has made you silly. No matter how capable your sister is, she’s not the child of city folks.

City folk from a good family don’t want to find a rural wife. Marrying into a noisy, poor, messy city family is worse than marrying a proper rural person.

Forget about city people for a moment; even in our village, those who went to college don’t want to find a spouse from the countryside anymore. Sigh, Er Ni, your sister is not like you, so stop talking nonsense."

"Dad, how is my sister different from me? Didn’t I say already, those who work under her are all college graduates.

What does that prove? It proves my sister’s capability surpasses college graduates. Dad, Mom, in the city, no one makes fun of you for not getting married at thirty, really."

"Er Ni, are you hoping for the best for your sister or cursing her?" Mrs. Li glared at her daughter resentfully, "Do you really want your sister to wait until she’s thirty? By then, who can she marry except for someone whose wife has died or divorced?"

Li Xiaoxian, left with no choice, looked at her silent elder sister, Li Xiaoyan: "Sister, tell our parents whether what I said just now is true."

"Dad, Mom, be honest with me, do you really want me to marry Liang Linqing?" Li Xiaoyan seriously looked at her parents, "I want to hear the truth."

Mrs. Li looked at Father Li: "You tell her, Dad."

Father Li nodded and looked at the eldest daughter: "Big Ni’er, didn’t we already discuss this before, it’s the Liang family begging us. Besides, if you marry into the Liang family, you won’t have to stay in the village.
