Sister Hua Yulan gritted her teeth and said with a look of hatred: "That's right, Xiang Qianjin has become a cadre and will stay in the city to live a good life. Do you still think that he can come back and marry a country girl like you? You are dreaming!"

She scolded the confused Hua Yulan, "Don't think about him all the time, it's shameful."

Hua Yulan's elder sister suggested, "Mom, find her a husband. She is old enough and you should have found someone to marry her. In the past two years, she was still foolishly waiting for that wicked guy Xiang Qianjin. She refused to marry anyone who came to propose marriage. In the end, what happened? As soon as the other party became rich, he dumped you. You wasted these two years of effort for nothing."

Hua Yulan had also given up. She was not the kind of person who would make trouble. Since Xiang Qianjin didn't want her anymore, she wouldn't rush to get close to him.

Her mother and elder sister were right. Xiang Qianjin was now a cadre and was earning a living by the government. They were no longer suitable for each other. She was a country girl whose family was extremely poor, so it was no wonder that others looked down on her.

On the other hand, after Xiang Qianjin returned to the city, he suffered setbacks in his relationships for more than half a year and he couldn't get along with these women.

There are many reasons, maybe people don't like his conditions, or they think he doesn't make enough money and the burden on his hometown is too heavy. What surprised Xiang Qianjin was that some girls even told him directly that if he married her, he would not be allowed to take care of his parents, brothers and sisters in his hometown. Xiang Qianjin couldn't accept this.

These were reasons after all. One time that opened his eyes was when he was having dinner with the girl. While eating noodles, he peeled some garlic and swallowed two cloves of garlic. The girl stood up, covered her nose and left, and never contacted him again.

Xiang Qianjin felt a little tired. These girls were really difficult to get along with.

After many failed relationships, Xiang Qianjin slowly learned to compromise. He accepted the girls' unreasonable demands, tolerated their tempers, and accepted their overbearing views.

The last person he dated was Deng Mei. He had been relying on this pretty city girl from a well-off family in every way. He had to endure her unreasonable behavior all the time and was servile in front of her, not acting like a real man at all. Finally, Deng Mei wanted to take him to meet her parents.

On the day he visited her, there was a lot of people at her house. They huddled together, whispering to each other in the city's most local dialect, and looking at him with their chins and nostrils from time to time.

Especially Deng Mei's father who was in a high position. Every time he snorted, he could feel the oppressive feeling of criticism and dissatisfaction coming from above every time he moved forward.

In such an environment, Xiang Qianjin immediately became timid. When he was nervous, he felt like there was phlegm stuck in his throat and he seemed unable to speak. So if someone asked him a question, he would not be able to answer it well. In order to leave a good impression, Xiang Qianjin wanted to spit out the phlegm, but where could he spit it out?

Finally, Xiang Qianjin secretly opened the window when no one was paying attention and quickly spat out. However, before he could close the window, he suddenly heard shouting and cursing from downstairs.

Looking at the different expressions on the faces of her family members and friends, including Deng Mei, they were either laughing uncontrollably, or embarrassed and angry, but more of them were mocking, disgusted and keeping away. Looking at their rosy faces, Xiang Qianjin knew that his relationship with Deng Mei was over.

After breaking up with Deng Mei, Xiang Qianjin began to resist meeting and getting to know women again. He even felt disgusted when he heard someone wanted to introduce him to a girl. He didn't want to see her at all, especially those fashionable girls who wore perfume, curly hair, and wore braids, and whom he used to yearn for and couldn't help but peek at. Now, whenever such a girl walked past him, he would sigh in his heart.

Such city girls are just superficial and superficial, but it's really a pain to get along with them.

After being in a daze for a while, a girl suddenly appeared in Xiang Qianjin's heart, which was already lost to the extreme. During the time in the mountains, he felt that his future was bleak, but it was this girl who supported and encouraged him.

He took out the photo of Hua Yulan that was tucked between the books. In the yellowed and blurry photo, the innocent girl looked at him with a shy smile.

As he walked forward, his thoughts raced. The person in the photo seemed to move. Two long, shiny black braids swayed in front of his eyes, just like when they walked to and from school together on the mountain road.

Xiang Qianjin suddenly realized that he didn't want the city girl anymore. He was really blinded by greed. She was obviously the best.

Xiang Qianjin called his hometown and asked about Hua Yulan. His mother said that Hua Yulan was already engaged and was planning to get married. Xiang Qianjin was anxious and asked his mother to go to Hua Yulan's house to stop them. His mother was unwilling to do so because it was embarrassing, so Xiang Qianjin asked for leave and stood on the train for three days before returning to his hometown.

On the day he arrived, the procession at the entrance of the village was banging and banging to take the bride out of the village. Xiang Qianjin rushed into the crowd and started fighting with everyone. He finally walked to Hua Yulan's side. He didn't know who hit him on the head and he was dizzy. He pulled her, who was wearing a red dress and was very scared, and said, "Don't marry anyone else. I will marry you."

After going through this, Xiang Qianjin realized that the only person he wanted to marry was Hua Yulan. If he couldn't be with her, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Xiang Qianjin's parents and family members had already sat down to eat, but when they heard the news that Xiang Qianjin had kidnapped the bride, they hurried over. When they arrived, they saw Xiang Qianjin, who was beaten black and blue, holding Hua Yulan like a dog and refusing to let go.

Lose someone to death.

Seeing his family coming, Xiang Qianjin said solemnly to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I want to marry Yulan."

Xiang Qianjin's mother cried out, sat down on the ground, and started crying.

Xiang Qianjin's father was furious. He picked up a pole and smashed it on Xiang Qianjin, knocking him to his knees. Hua Yulan was shocked and wanted to help Xiang Qianjin up, but Xiang Qianjin couldn't recover for a long time. He didn't get up either. He just knelt in front of his father and said, "Dad, Mom, I want to marry Yulan. Please help me propose to her family."

When Hua Yulan saw Xiang Qianjin like this, she burst into tears.

Xiang Qianjin's parents couldn't persuade their son, especially when he said seriously that if he couldn't marry Hua Yulan, he would never get married in his life. After a month or two of stalemate, the old couple had no choice but to go to Hua Yulan's house to propose marriage.

The two got married soon. On the wedding night, Hua Yulan chatted with Xiang Qianjin. She said that she felt sorry for him. If she had not agreed to the previous marriage, Xiang Qianjin would not have been beaten so badly, and his family would not have felt ashamed to accept a wife who almost married someone else. If they opposed their marriage, Xiang Qianjin's family would not have been criticized wherever they went.

Hearing Hua Yulan being so sorry to him, Xiang Qianjin choked up. He didn't know how to talk about the past. He said that he was distorted for abandoning his former lover once he gained power, that he was good at calculating but in the end he almost got nothing, that he was arrogant without knowing his own weight. All the past was like a dream and he didn't want to face it again.

In the end, Xiang Qianjin chose to conceal the past events and live a good life from now on.

He held Hua Yulan in his arms and said gently, "It's my fault for making you wait for me for so long. I understand you. Those things are not your fault. They are my fault."

Hearing Xiang Qianjin comforting her and understanding her, Hua Yulan also hugged back the warm embrace with a happy smile on her face.
