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

After saying goodbye to Boss Luo, Meng Xiaoman went to find Xiang Peng again. It was she who pointed out the way in the first place, so it was inevitable that he would get more attention.

Xiang Peng changed his stall and started selling televisions. While greeting Meng Xiaoman, he reminded the workers to be careful when moving things.

After listening to Meng Xiaoman's advice, he cleared out his inventory of radios when he returned. Although he didn't make much money, he didn't lose money either. He used the money from the sales, plus his own savings, to buy televisions.

The cost of dealing in TV sets is high, but the profit is also high. There are not many people in this business now, and often the goods are ordered before they are delivered. Now, he is very glad that he listened to Meng Xiaoman.

"Sister-in-law, you are my real sister-in-law from now on. Take this TV back and use it. If it weren't for you, I would be stuck in the radio business." The price of radios plummeted, and many of his colleagues lost all their money.

Meng Xiaoman looked at the big guy on the ground and said, "No, no, this is too expensive."

A fourteen-inch TV costs five or six hundred yuan.

Xiang Peng didn't say anything, and asked the workers to pack it for him, and then loaded it on a push-pull cart. "You can just pull it like this, I'll have it wrapped tightly, so there's no need to worry about bumps."

Xiang Peng sincerely thanked her, "Sister-in-law, this is the business you pointed out, so I should give you a big red envelope. This TV series is really nothing. In the future, I will still rely on you to guide me."

Meng Xiaoman had no choice but to accept it and reminded him that color TVs were expensive and difficult to buy.

Xiang Peng understood and took note of it silently.

Things at the clothing store were sorted out, and it was time for the fall semester to start.

Apart from attending classes, Meng Xiaoman spends the rest of her free time either in the tailor shop or in the clothing store.

When Li Siqi learned that she had opened a clothing store, she found it very interesting and went to the store to help out whenever she had nothing to do. Meng Xiaoman did not let her work for nothing and paid her a salary.

Li Siqi was very excited to earn money for the first time in his life. He happily bought a piece of clothing in the store and sent it home to his mother.

Meng Xiaoman was busy with the affairs of the two shops, while Xiao Xiangdong was responsible for the decoration of the villa.

The villa is closer to Xiao Xiangdong's unit than Grandma Wu's home, and Meng Xiaoman plans to move there later.

However, before moving in, it needs to be properly decorated.

Meng Xiaoman had her own ideas about the decoration and layout of the house, so she found several students from the architecture department of the school to help her draw the design.

On Sundays, go to the market to buy some antique furniture.

Take this opportunity to take out the furniture that was previously collected in the space and use it.

Meng Xiaoman planned the large yard of the villa into three parts. The largest part was used to plant flowers and trees, and she scattered the flower seeds collected in the space, such as roses, peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, marigolds, etc., to ensure that there were blooming flowers all year round.

Under the courtyard wall, Meng Xiaoman plans to plant roses of various colors. It must be beautiful to see the whole wall full of roses in full bloom.

All the osmanthus trees, osmanthus trees, crabapple trees, and plum trees that exist need to be transplanted.

Meng Xiaoman also plans to enclose a small orchard and plant various fruit trees such as peach trees, apricot trees, and pomegranates.

Once these flowers, plants and trees are planted, the huge yard will become full of vitality.

Meng Xiaoman also plans to reserve a place for viewing the scenery among these flowers and trees, and have someone build a small pavilion and dig a small lotus pond.

In addition, Meng Xiaoman also specially reserved a small vegetable plot to grow vegetables for her own consumption.

There are also green lawns, swing sets, wisteria stands and other places for playing and relaxing.

It would take at least a year and a half to decorate, make custom furniture, and arrange the entire yard. By that time, I would be graduating and it would be the perfect time to move.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong went to the unit together to attend a party.

I haven't seen Xia Mengjiao for a long time. She looked very thin, as if all her energy had been drained away, and her temperament became even colder. When she saw Meng Xiaoman coming over, she took the initiative to greet her.

But the smile didn't reach his eyes, which made people feel a little sad.

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Mengjiao did provoke her twice because of Xiao Xiangdong, but Xiao Xiangdong didn't like her and Meng Xiaoman didn't take it to heart, so it didn't cause her any trouble.

The girl who was once so lively now looked haggard and had lost her former charm. As a woman herself, Meng Xiaoman suddenly felt a little bit sorry for her.

"Are you okay? Are you sick?"

Xia Mengjiao smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I want a divorce, but he doesn't want to. He even asked his family and my parents to persuade me. Because of the divorce, my mother scolded me countless times, and my father also felt ashamed. You tell me, I just want to live a quiet life by myself and do what I like, why is it so difficult?"

She was depressed, but no one told anyone. Her former comrades in the art troupe said that she was showing off and not satisfied, and that she didn't know how lucky she was. She married so well and didn't have to do anything but be a cadre's wife, but she still complained about this and that.

She said it twice and then never said it again.

In fact, her relationship with Meng Xiaoman was not that serious, but somehow, when she saw her, she suddenly wanted to talk to her. Perhaps she had suppressed it for too long.

"We only have one life, and everyone should live for themselves. This is the most reasonable thing to do. You are not wrong."

This is the first person to say that she is not wrong and support her.

Xia Mengjiao's eyes were sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

Meng Xiaoman handed her a handkerchief.

Xia Mengjiao wiped her tears and thought about the time when she was bitten by a snake on the island and she used a white handkerchief like this to bandage her wound.

It turned out that, unknowingly, she had helped her more than once.

"But it's very difficult to divorce a military marriage, and he refuses to do so."

"If you really want to leave, I have a solution, but it might be very ugly."

Xia Mengjiao clenched her handkerchief tightly, and said firmly: "I am not afraid of making trouble, nor am I afraid of being embarrassed! As long as I can leave that suffocating place."

Meng Xiaoman whispered a few words to her.

I don’t know if it was because of Xia Mengjiao’s accident, but there was no performance by military families at this party.

After the last performance, Xia Mengjiao suddenly rushed onto the stage with a microphone in her hand.

She fell to her knees and begged the leaders to help her get a divorce.

The scene of Xia Mengjiao dancing on the Lantern Festival is still vivid in my mind. At that time, she was such a pretty and charming person. But in just half a year, she looked so haggard and pitiful. People below were talking about it.

Many people looked at Zhang Huaqing in the audience and pointed at him.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. I don't agree to a divorce, even if I die!"

Zhang Huaqing had an ugly look on his face and wanted to rush onto the stage to drag the man down, but was stopped by Xiao Xiangdong and several others.
