In the morning of the city, the sunlight shines through the cracks of the high-rise buildings, dappled on Xiaohong's face. She opened her eyes softly and looked out the window at the traffic, but her heart was confused.
The love story of Xiaohong and Xiaoming is no longer news in this bustling city. They met in college, when Xiao Ming was always in a hurry and was careful and considerate to Xiaohong. Xiaohong was born in an ordinary working family, while Xiao Ming is the only son of the president of a real estate company. The worlds of the two should never have intersected, but love brought them together.
However, as time went on, the differences between the two gradually became apparent. Xiao Ming's family has a lot of complaints about Xiaohong's background, especially when talking about marriage, Xiao Ming's mother insisted on asking for a high bride price, which became a stumbling block on the road of love between the two.
Xiaohong, do you really want to marry Xiao Ming? Xiaohong's best friend Xiaoli sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her worriedly.
Xiao Hong sighed, with hesitation in her eyes: "I don't know, Xiao Ming is sincere to me, but his family ......."It's really hard for me to accept. ”
Xiao Li held Xiao Hong's hand tightly: "I heard that Xiao Ming has been doing some weird things recently, you have to be careful." ”
Xiaohong shook her head: "Xiaoli, you mean ......."”
Xiao Li whispered mysteriously: "I heard that Xiao Ming wants you to get pregnant before marriage, so that he has an excuse to reduce the bride price." ”
Xiaohong was shocked, she looked at Xiaoli in disbelief: "This ......."How is this possible, Xiao Ming will not do this. ”
Xiaoli looked at Xiaohong nervously: "Xiaohong, you have to be careful, a man can do anything for his own benefit." ”
Xiaohong's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. Was her relationship with Xiao Ming shattered by reality like this? The high bride price, Xiao Ming's secret plan, all this made her feel deeply powerless.
That night, Xiaohong asked Xiao Ming to come out to talk. Under the street lamp, the shadows of the two were stretched long.
Xiao Ming, are we really fit together? Xiaohong asked in a trembling voice.
Xiao Ming seemed a little uneasy, he held Xiao Hong's hand: "Xiao Hong, I love you, we will definitely have a way." ”
Xiaohong looked into Xiao Ming's eyes, but found that she couldn't read his eyes. Is it sincere, or is it something else?
Xiao Li's words echoed in Xiao Hong's mind, and she couldn't be sure of Xiao Ming's sincerity. This night, Xiaohong couldn't sleep all night.
Xiaohong sat on a bench in the hospital, clutching the results of the pregnancy test in her hand, her mood as complicated as a mess. The fact of being pregnant shocked and confused at the same time she never thought it would be like this.
How so? Little Red muttered to herself.
Xiao Ming sat next to her nervously, looking at her from time to time, his eyes were full of anxiety: "Xiaohong, you ......."We ......”
Xiaohong turned her head, tears flashing in her eyes: "Xiao Ming, is this true?" We're going to have kids? ”
Xiao Ming gently held her hand: "Yes, Xiaohong, but maybe it's a good thing." We can ......”
Xiaohong interrupted him: "A good thing? You mean, we don't have to pay so much money? ”
Xiao Ming was silent for a while, and then said cautiously: "Xiaohong, you know the situation in my family. Now, we might be able to ......”
Xiaohong's mood is even more complicated. She felt a sense of being cheated on, but at the same time worried about her future child.
That night, Xiaohong found Xiaoli. They sat in a quiet café, and Xiaohong told Xiaoli everything.
Xiao Li frowned, obviously angry: "This is Xiao Ming's plan?" It's too much! ”
Xiaohong's eyes were teary: "What should I do, Xiaoli?" I don't really know. ”
Xiaoli thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiaohong, maybe we can use this opportunity to fight back." ”
Xiaohong looked at her suspiciously: "Fight back? How to fight back? ”
Xiao Li said slowly: "You can promise Xiao Ming first and no longer pursue the high bride price." At the same time, we can make a plan to make Xiao Ming and his family understand that you are not the type of person who only values money. ”
Xiaohong was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
In the next few days, Xiaohong behaved very calmly. She told Xiao Ming and his family that she no longer insisted on a high bride price, and only hoped to have a warm little home. Xiao Ming is obviously very happy, and his family's attitude towards Xiao Hong has also changed.
However, Xiaohong has different plans in her heart. She works closely with Xiao Li, ready to reveal Xiao Ming's original intentions at the right time. She wants Xiao Ming to understand that love is not a transaction, and it cannot be manipulated by stratagem.
As time passed, Xiaohong's belly gradually bulged. Xiao Ming and his family seem to be more and more accepting of this fact. But the turmoil in Xiaohong's heart became more and more intense.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan, but there was always a hint of uneasiness in Xiaohong's heart. She doesn't know what her plans will bring, but she knows that no matter what, she will strive for the best for herself and her future children.
The spring breeze blows through the streets of the city, and Xiaohong and Xiaoming's family reunion is held on this warm afternoon. Xiaohong was wearing a simple long dress, her belly was slightly bulging, and her eyes were firm and calm.
At the party, the two families sat together, and the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious. Xiao Ming's parents smiled from time to time, looking at Xiao Hong's belly, full of anticipation.
Xiao Ming took Xiao Hong's hand and whispered, "Xiao Hong, everything will be fine." ”
Xiaohong nodded, but there was determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath and stood up, facing everyone in the room.
Today, I have something to say. Xiaohong's voice was calm and firm.
Everyone present looked at her in shock, and Xiao Ming's face instantly turned pale.
Xiao Hong said slowly: "I know, Xiao Ming and his family have a plan. They wanted me to get pregnant before marriage as an excuse to reduce the bride price. ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole room seemed to be frozen for an instant. Xiao Ming's parents turned pale, and Xiao Ming lowered his head.
Xiaohong continued: "I could have chosen to be silent, but I didn't want to. Love is not a transaction, and it should not be manipulated by stratagem. ”
Xiao Ming's mother stood up suddenly, her face showing shame: "Xiaohong, I ......."We ......”
Xiaohong waved her hand: "I'm not here to blame anyone. I just want to say that I am willing to marry Xiao Ming, not because of the bride price, but because of love. ”
Xiao Ming raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: "Xiaohong, I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”
Xiao Hong said softly: "Xiao Ming, I am willing to forgive you, but we need to re-establish our relationship, based on true understanding and respect. ”
Xiao Ming's father was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Xiaohong, your honesty and bravery make us admire. We withdraw the bride price request and want you to be a part of our family. ”
After the party, Xiao Ming hugged Xiaohong tightly: "Thank you, Xiaohong, you made me understand true love." ”
Xiaohong smiled: "We still have a long way to go, Xiao Ming. ”
Xiaohong's bravery and wisdom not only solved the problem of bride price, but also won the respect and love of more people. Her relationship with Xiao Ming became stronger during this incident.
The spring sun shines through the window and shines on the two of them. The outside world is still noisy, but in this small home, there is a lot of love and hope.
