Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

However, somehow, the more he tried not to pay attention, the more he paid attention.

Every time I pass by her house, I have to glance into the yard. I am afraid of meeting her, but I also want to meet her. Every time he went to work, his ears were like radar, searching for her voice or what others said about her.

This state lasted until Zhao Xiaofang's mother-in-law, Grandma Zhou, entered the foot of the mountain and was injured.

Without saying a word, Xiao Tiezhu carried the person back to the health center from the mountains, and then back home from the health center.

It was originally just a favor, but within a few days, rumors suddenly spread in the village that the two had gotten together, and Zhao Xiaofang was accused of seducing people without shame.

There was a bachelor in the village who deliberately told Xiao Tiezhu that he had already fallen in love with Zhao Xiaofang, but it was a pity that he got there first. Xiao Tiezhu was so angry that he punished the person severely.

Now, no one dared to say it in person, but secretly they were more sure that there was something going on between the two. Otherwise, how could Xiao Tiezhu defend Zhao Xiaofang so much.

Zhao Xiaofang had heard such rumors frequently since she became a widow. As long as no one told her in front of her, she didn't care and lived her own life behind closed doors, but Xiao Tiezhu couldn't stand it.

Several times he wanted to find someone to settle accounts, but Aunt Wang stopped him, "You're not going to marry her, so don't worry about it. The more you stand up for her, the worse what others will say."

It was originally meant to persuade people, but after hearing it, Xiao Tiezhu felt as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and his mind became clear: If he married Xiaofang, wouldn't there be no one to gossip.

This discovery surprised him so much that he immediately told his mother.

Aunt Wang looked confused. No, she was trying to persuade him not to get so close to Zhao Xiaofang. How could this stupid guy still want to marry someone?

"No, she is a widow with a son. If you marry her, won't you help others raise their son? Besides, she is several years older than you."

There is nothing wrong with her son except that his brain is not flexible. No matter what, he has to introduce a young girl.

"What's wrong with the older one? The older one knows how to love others. Mom, that's what you said about the blind date last time."

Xiao Tiezhu didn't care.

"But she is only two years older than you. Zhao Xiaofang must be four or five years older than you."

"Don't they say that a female junior should hold gold bricks? If she were six years older, I could still hold two gold bricks. Mom, Xiaofang is really good."

In the past, I only thought she was a good sister and sister-in-law, but now I thought about her as a woman and found that she was even more of a good woman.

"Then you might as well find someone in your late thirties and you can still make a fortune." Aunt Wang was so angry that she shouldn't have said that more.

"Mom, if I'm thirty years older, wouldn't I be older than you? No, I'm inferior to you."

Aunt Wang was really speechless and changed her words, "You want to marry Zhao Xiaofang, but Zhao Xiaofang is not willing to marry you yet. Her husband has been dead for several years, and she has not found anyone to marry her. In the first two years, someone wanted to introduce her to her. She just kicked the matchmaker out of the door!”

"Then if Xiaofang is willing, mother, you can't stop her."

Xiao Tiezhu was eager to try as if he suddenly had a direction.

In addition to Zhao Xiaofang, her mother-in-law is also very powerful. Aunt Wang feels that her son is definitely not capable of handling both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. "Okay! As long as the Zhou family and Xiaofang agree, I have absolutely no objection!"

Since then, Xiao Tiezhu often brushed his face in front of Zhao Xiaofang's family of three.

Helping her son beat up the gangsters who bullied him, buying him candy, secretly helping Zhao Xiaofang work, and helping Grandma Zhou collect firewood and carry water every day.

Once or twice was accidental, but after three times, Grandma Zhou understood what he had planned.

He drove the person away with a cold face.

But he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person. Every time they met, Xiao Tiezhu still smiled and greeted her. Moreover, if the firewood cannot be delivered to the home, it will be placed under the courtyard wall.

"Leave him alone, he will give up after a while." Zhao Xiaofang has also seen people who pursue her like this. As long as they don't respond to him, they will give up within a few days.

She felt that Xiao Tiezhu was the same.

But as spring passed and autumn came, the firewood beside the wall of her house was piled into a firewood pile, and this man continued to collect firewood for her house.

By the way, in addition to firewood, there are also wild chestnuts, pecans, and fresh mushrooms.

If they didn't want it, he would take it back the next day and send it over when he found a new one.

So much so that later, Grandma Zhou was moved, "Xiaofang, I think Tiezhu is really good. I have watched him grow up. Apart from his lack of intelligence, this kid has no shortcomings. He looks upright. I’m an honest person. If you think it’s appropriate, you can agree.”

Xiaofang is still young, and it is not easy to guard her for a few years, and she cannot bear to watch her guard her for the rest of her life.

"Let's talk about it later, mother."

Zhao Xiaofang did not answer directly.

To be fair, she was moved.

I raise my children by myself, honor my mother-in-law, work to earn work points, and take care of everything at home. Sometimes, you have to deal with bad rumors or harassment.

There are times when she is extremely tired and vulnerable, but this family still needs her to hold up, and she cannot fall.

She initially regarded Xiao Tiezhu as her younger brother, thinking that he was young and just impulsive. I didn't expect him to last so long.

Moreover, he also rejected everyone who came to propose marriage to him. Said he didn't want to get married yet.

But she knew he was waiting for her.

For more than a year, he worked from dawn to dusk, delivering firewood and things to her house when no one was around, just because he was afraid of being seen gossiping.

She had refused, but he said that Grandma Zhou was old and her legs and feet were inconvenient. As a neighbor, he only helped to collect firewood and did not ask for anything.

His house is obviously half a village away from his own, so how can he be considered a neighbor.

This is just his excuse.

But, for some reason, she didn't expose him.

Recently, wild boars have appeared in the mountains, but it is the season for picking mushrooms. Zhao Xiaofang was reluctant to part with this income, so she took advantage of the slack season to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms.

But every time he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Tiezhu would appear nearby. Follow her not far or near.

"I'm not forcing you. There are wild boars in the mountains. It's not safe for you to go up the mountain alone. Don't worry, I'll stay away from you. I won't delay you in picking up mushrooms, and I won't appear in front of you."

Xiao Tiezhu said and took two steps back.

However, he lost his words when he saw a wild boar with black hair and tusks.

The wild boar was dead, but Xiao Tiezhu was also injured, and his body and hands were covered in blood.

Zhao Xiaofang squatted next to him, tears streaming down her face, "Don't die, don't die." She was so frightened that she was like this when her husband died.

Xiao Tiezhu raised his hand and wiped her tears. This was the first time he was so close to her. "Don't worry, I'm fine. This is the blood of a wild boar..." After saying that, he spread his hands and fainted. .
