My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1439 The Visitor (Part Six)

Upon hearing her sister say that, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately looked at Zhong Xia sitting next to her.

"Let's not do it!"

Zhongxia waved her hand and said, "My master is very busy. He has a concert at the end of next month!"

In truth, Zhongxia didn't know whether her master was busy or not. The only thing she knew was that her master probably didn't care about these things. She was very afraid of her master and also afraid of troubling him.

Last year, she troubled her master because of her sister's situation, and regretted it for a long time afterward. At the time, she really didn't know how to handle it. After Bai Xiaoxiao reminded her, the first person she thought of was her master.

"I think so"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.

They lack nothing. Although this is an expression of gratitude, Bai Xiaoxiao knows that the gratitude and favors of ordinary people have no real meaning to Master Zhongxia.

Gratitude only gains meaning when one has value; otherwise, it's just a nuisance to others.

"OK then!"

Since both her younger sister and that girl named Zhongxia said so, Bai Xin did not force the issue.

After cooking the noodles, she served a bowl to both of them. Watching her younger sister sitting in a chair eating the pork rib noodles she had made, Bai Xin's eyes were full of smiles. As if sensing her gaze, when her sister looked up at her with a puzzled expression, Bai Xin smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, you've become more beautiful and have a better temperament. You're a bit unlike a girl from our family anymore; you're like a girl from a big city."

"No way!"

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by her sister's praise.

The main reason was that she heard Zhongxia's snickering.

Study hard

Bai Xin smiled and reminded her, "Now that you're out here, don't think about going back. Our place is too poor, and many girls want to leave. You've come all this way, so try to stay here."

"Um"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "After I graduate from university and start earning money, I'll see if I can bring my younger brother and sister out with me. If they don't, they'll end up like the kids back home, getting married in their teens or twenties, and their lives will be over."

In big cities, it's normal to get married in your late twenties or early thirties, but in their hometowns, many families start arranging weddings for children who have already dropped out of school.

The hometown was already economically backward. If they got married early, although there is an old saying that one should start a new family before starting a career, in reality, many people in economically backward areas are tied down by their families after getting married. Moreover, many couples go out to work, and the wife runs away while they are working.

The main problem is that women become dissatisfied with their current situation after seeing the outside world.

With so many external temptations and a barrage of information, how could anyone be content with the status quo, working themselves to the bone all year to earn a few tens of thousands, only to return to their hometown for the New Year?

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't want her younger brother to end up like that, nor did she want her younger sister to get married at eighteen or nineteen, then have children while taking care of the family. Such a life... regardless of whether it's meaningful or not, at least they should go out and see the world before making a decision, instead of having their entire lives predetermined.

The one I chose is different from the one my parents chose.

"Let's work hard together. Once I have some money, I'll bring my younger brother and sister here to study," Bai Xin said with a smile. "Xiaoxiao, you have to take good care of yourself. Our family is counting on you. Before I left, my younger brother and sister asked me to tell you that they're waiting for you to bring them to live in the big city."

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a bitter smile.

It would have been better if her older sister hadn't said that, because once she did, the pressure on her suddenly increased a lot. Although she had just mentioned bringing her younger siblings out, that was on the condition that she herself had earned the money and had the ability to do so.

But her older sister said that her younger siblings also wanted to come to the big city. Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't even guarantee her own future, so how could she possibly help her younger siblings without any problems?

Seeing her sister's bitter expression, Bai Xin comforted her, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best. Besides, I'm already out here! I heard from the senior employees at the studio that a monthly income is around 20,000 yuan, plus a year-end bonus. If I'm frugal, I should be able to make a living in six months to a year."

"All right!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.

After her younger sister and her classmate Zhongxia finished eating their noodles, Bai Xin washed the pots and pans. Others might not know, but as Bai Xiaoxiao's older sister, Bai Xin knew exactly how much her sister had suffered to get into university.

Xiaoxiao was a good student from a young age. Her family originally wanted her to finish junior high school and then help with the work, but she refused. Her parents then forced her to do so by saying they couldn't afford the tuition. So, this girl went up the mountain alone with a basket to dig up some valuable things and sell them in town.

I would get up before five in the morning and not come back for lunch. I would just bring some dry food and water and manage to save up enough for my first year of high school before the start of the semester. Because the mountain roads were difficult to walk on, my legs and arms would be scratched raw by thorny leaves every time I came back.

After she finished high school, her family wanted her to drop out of school because they couldn't afford the tuition. They even asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her. The boy's family owned a plywood factory and were quite well-off. However, the boy had polio since childhood, which made him walk with a limp and had claw-like hands.

But her parents actually agreed.

It's because the groom's family is willing to give a dowry of 100,000 yuan.

However, Xiaoxiao was also at a loss. She went directly to town and bought two bottles of pesticide, saying that if her parents forced her to marry, she would drink the pesticide and die at home, so that the villagers would know how her parents had forced their daughter to her death.

Her parents were probably frightened by Xiaoxiao, so they stopped pressuring her. They probably realized that Xiaoxiao could really drink. Her parents couldn't afford her college tuition, so Xiaoxiao earned the money by going up the mountain. She was even bitten by a snake, but luckily it wasn't poisonous. If it had been, Xiaoxiao would probably be dead by now.

According to her parents, even if Xiaoxiao earned enough for the first semester's tuition, she wouldn't stay long before going back home obediently. Not only did her parents think this way, but Bai Xin also thought so.

Bai Xin had never been to university, but she knew that university fees were very high, and Xiao Xiao was studying at a music academy, where tuition was even higher than at a regular university.

however.

Surprisingly, Xiaoxiao not only didn't go back, but she got better and better.

Last year, she even sent a sum of money home, which made her parents think that Xiaoxiao hadn't studied well outside. It was only after she secretly called Xiaoxiao to ask that they found out that this girl had met... the girl sitting on the sofa with her now at school. Then, the girl's mentor arranged for her to intern at a company, and it was a big company where she earned a lot of money.

After learning about Xiaoxiao's current situation from her, her father sat on the doorstep, smoking a cigarette, and said something that Bai Xinzhi had never forgotten.

"We have to fight for this life."

that moment.

Bai Xin could tell that her father seemed to have figured something out.
