New widow

When the curtain was lifted, Zhou Le leaned against the window. The window was open and the cold wind could flow in. Suqiao walked in and closed the window with her hand: "You are not afraid of catching a cold."

"Aunt Li invited you here, right?" Zhou Le looked up at Su Qiao, and Su Qiao nodded: "Yes, she is your nanny. She has brought you from such a child to such an old age, so she naturally cares about you. Holding you."

"She is thinking about me because she has taken good care of me. She can also..." Before Zhou Le could finish his words, Su Qiao held his hands tightly. Zhou Le was startled and didn't say anything else. exit.

"Her whole family are servants of the Zhou family, and there's nothing wrong with her own plans." Su Qiao said softly. Zhou Le felt aggrieved for some reason, but he didn't want to show it in front of Su Qiao. Just put your head down.

"You must feel that after your mother passed away, no one will love you anymore. Aunt Li is the only one who sincerely cares for you and has plans for you." Su Qiao spoke softly, and Zhou Le nodded: "If it weren't for Aunt Li, Mom, my life will be even worse."

"So you will feel aggrieved when you find out that the kindness Nanny Li treats you is actually for her own benefit." These words made Zhou Le look up, and then Zhou Le sighed: "I know, I know I shouldn't think like this, but the world So many people are loved by their families, but as for me, if I want to be loved by my father, I have to rack my brains to please, and if I want to be praised by my grandmother, I have to do my best in everything."

Zhou Le couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke: "But my sister doesn't have to be like this. No matter what she does, her father will love her. Grandma will also praise her.

"

Obviously those are all my family members, but I have to work hard to get their family's approval.

"A family must have fate." Suqiao said softly: "You know my life experience even if you think about it, right?"

Zhou Le nodded. Mr. Kuang is still in the city at the moment. Granny Li and the others will naturally discuss the troubles he caused a few days ago, and Zhou Le has also heard some of it.

"My father, he wishes he didn't have me as a person." Suqiao said with a smile: "There are also my uncle and my grandmother. My father is unwilling to recognize them. My father even feels that there was no one at the beginning. How nice it would be to marry my mother."

In this way, Mr. Kuang will have no stains in his life, but will become someone who has been recognized by others, supported by nobles, married to a rich official, has a harmonious husband and wife, and has a smooth career.

"I," Zhou Le didn't know what to say, Su Qiao patted her shoulder gently: "I am telling you this not to tell you that I am worse off than you. But I want to talk to you. Say, the most important thing is what you want."

"I don't want to get married." Zhou Le said frankly.

"Why?" Suqiao asked back, and a sarcastic smile appeared on Zhou Le's lips: "The eldest sister that everyone admires has to endure the eldest brother-in-law's foreign favors, and has to take care of the housework for the eldest brother-in-law. Even, in front of others, Don’t show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.”

"Su Tongpan and Ling's brother-in-law are different." Su Qiao knew that her words seemed very pale, but she said it anyway. Zhou Le smiled: "Yes, everyone says he is a gentleman, but Kuang Madam, I want to ask you, if the British father-in-law had not died on the wedding night, would you have willingly

Live with him? "

No one had ever asked Su Qiao so boldly. Su Qiao's hand tightened slightly, and then Su Qiao sighed softly: "I can't help it."

Zhou Le didn't speak anymore, and Su Qiao took a step forward: "Don't think so much. Su Tongpuan is a gentleman, and you are about the same age. You saw him yesterday..."

"He doesn't have me in his eyes." Zhou Le said frankly, Su Qiao lowered her eyes: "Marriage is a major matter, the parents order the matchmaker."

"So this is what I've been doing all my life? Working hard just to be a man's wife, just to keep the glory and wealth?" Zhou Le asked back, Suqiao held Zhou Le's shoulders: "But, in days like this, many people Neither can be obtained.”

"If I really have no food or clothing, and only think about how to live a better life every day, then I will be very happy now and marry him happily." Zhou Le's voice was broken, Su Qiao didn't know how to comfort Zhou Le, so she could only pat Zhou Le's shoulder gently.

"But I'm not that kind of person. I was born in a heap of brocades and read and read. I know how high the sky is and what the world outside looks like. But I was born as a woman and have no choice." Zhou Le's voice trembled. , Suqiao's eyes are sad, she was born a woman and has no choice.

A man can still study and become famous, be an official, or do business, support himself, and occasionally disobey his parents. But a woman can only be trapped in that small area of ​​​​the world, and all she cares about are the scraps in the backyard, and her heart is all about her husband. No matter what kind of person the husband is, he must take care of the housework, have children, and... be happy.

But what about people?

Can you treat yourself like a puppet? Su Qiao held Zhou Le's hand: "I know everything about your thoughts, but I can't help you."

"I know." Zhou Le was not disappointed. She looked at Su Qiao and said, "I heard that giving birth is like going through the gate of hell. My father once said that my mother was injured when she gave birth to me, and later she became pregnant with my younger brother. , slipped again on a snowy day, had a miscarriage, and my body and bones were getting worse day by day. It is said that my father and my mother are very loving."

Su Qiao didn't know these things. Su Qiao could only listen to Zhou Le's words. Zhou Le smiled and mocked: "Look, my father and mother were so loving, but within a year after my mother died, he remarried. From now on, he will not remember that he has a daughter like me. Su Tongpan is a gentleman, and he is willing to continue to marry me, but if I am like my mother, then my children will be even more..."

"You and Su Tongpan have been together for a long time. Of course, Su Tongpan's eyes and hearts are all about you." Su Qiao's words made Zhou Le laugh: "Is it a way to compete for favor in the backyard?"

Su Qiao could only smile awkwardly, Zhou Le looked at Su Qiao: "The world outside is so big, why do I have to work so hard for a man who doesn't have me in his heart, just asking for his favor?"

This, this made Su Qiao even unable to say that everyone in the world was like this. Su Qiao could only lower her eyes, and Zhou Le wiped the tears that had fallen from the corners of his eyes: "If I had never seen you and seen your life like this, then I would be very happy and would use various means to make him feel happy in his heart. There is me."

"Life, you have to live it before you know what it is like." Su Qiao comforted Zhou Le, and Zhou Le leaned on Su Qiao

On the shoulders: "I know, I know everything, I'm just very, very tired."
