Chapter 190 Meeting Again
Hua Antao looked in the direction of the sound, turning her memory upside down, but still couldn't recognize the woman.
"you are?"
The woman's expression changed, and a mocking smile curved her lips:
"That's true! You're a college student, how could you possibly remember me!"
"Sis, I've changed my clothes. Come and see if they look good!"
Before Hua Antao could speak, Hua Lichu lifted the curtain of the fitting room and came out.
Hua Antao turned her head and her eyes lit up: "Beautiful!"
Hua Lichu has a capable and efficient demeanor, and the black mid-length down jacket makes her look sporty and youthful.
Hua Lichu walked to the dressing mirror and looked at herself from left to right, feeling quite satisfied: "Hehe, I think it looks good too!"
After Hua Lichu finished admiring herself, she noticed the heavily made-up woman next to her staring at her. She frowned and asked, "Sister, is she your friend?"
The woman covered her mouth and laughed: "Hua Lichu, why did you choose this color down jacket? Women should wear pink and white..."
Hua Antao's face suddenly fell: "Who are you?"
"I am Liang Mi!"
The two sisters looked at each other and wondered, "Who is Liang Mi?"
The woman's face stiffened, then she explained, "Liang Mi from Liangjia Village, the one who lives next door to you, have you forgotten?"
Hua Lichu then remembered, her brows furrowing deeply: "You are Liang Mi?"
That's right?
The heavily made-up woman in front of them was actually Liang Mi, the one who stopped them on the way home the night the two sisters left the Liang family.
Hua Lichu recalled what she had said that night and began to suspect something:
"You ultimately listened to your parents and got married?"
Liang Mi curled her finger and blew on it: "Yeah, what else can we do if we don't get married?"
Back then, she followed her parents' advice and accepted a high bride price from the Qian family in the next village.
But just as she was full of anticipation, waiting to embark on a bright future, news leaked that Qian Yingying, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, was engaged in prostitution and had tricked girls in the village into selling their bodies.
Qian Yingying was caught red-handed by Uncle Hat and was sentenced to prison/meal.
Suddenly, the Qian family was universally reviled in the village.
Fearing things might change, Qian's parents immediately went to her house and offered two solutions:
First, return the betrothal gifts and the previously mentioned cigarettes, alcohol, and other gifts.
Second, hold the wedding immediately.
Before this, Liang Mi had always been grateful that although her parents were somewhat sexist, they treated her quite well.
Otherwise, why would they be willing to support her until she graduates from junior high school?
Therefore, as soon as the betrothal gifts were delivered, she followed her parents' advice and handed them over.
When she received the money, her parents repeatedly assured her that they would not touch it, but would simply keep it safe for her.
They will repay her when she encounters difficulties or has children in the future.
As a result, when the Qian family urged them, they chose option two without hesitation. Taking advantage of her lack of awareness, they tricked her into taking Y, drugged her, and sent her to the Qian family.
By the time she woke up, it was too late; the deed was done.
Thinking of this, a hint of envy flashed in Liang Mi's eyes:
"You guys are the best! Hua Antao, I heard you're already a university student? Hua Lichu, you're taking the college entrance exam soon, right? That's great, a bright future awaits you!"
As she spoke, she smiled and shook her head: "Unlike me..."
Hua Lichu stared at Liang Mi's face, at the thick makeup that completely obscured her skin tone, and said coldly:
"If I remember correctly, you're about our age? Not even 18 yet, right?"
Liang Mi said nonchalantly, "Yeah, so what?"
Can someone under 18 get a marriage certificate?
Liang Mi gave a sneer: "What difference does it make whether we get a marriage certificate or not? The deed is done anyway."
As they were talking, Hua Yuansheng came out of the fitting room wearing new clothes.
Liang Mi greeted him very politely.
Seeing that the clothes fit well, Hua Antao paid the bill directly.
There was no need for Hua Yuansheng and Hua Lichu to change back into their original clothes; they could simply continue shopping in their new outfits.
Unable to refuse, Hua Lichu simply clung to Hua Antao's arm and acted coquettishly:
"Hehe, sis, I've finally got a powerful backer! It feels so good to have someone spending money on me!"
but,
"How can you only give me two items? Salesperson, do you have any other colors of this style? Please get me a light-colored one."
Her sister has snow-white skin and looks even better in light colors.
After Hua Antao went inside to try on clothes, Hua Lichu looked at Liang Mi and asked, "Aren't you going to pick out any clothes?"
Liang Mi casually tossed the clothes on the rack, then suddenly asked:
"Hara, what's high school life like?"
Hua Lichu gazed at her: "Endless exams, countless classes, innocent classmates..."
"That's great!"
Hua Li, upon first seeing Liang Mi, was filled with envy and couldn't help but say:
"You're only 17, it's not too late. Isn't night school popular now? You can go too."
"Hua Lichu, how old are you? How childish! Do you think everyone has the same choices as you?"
"If I go to school, who will pay for my tuition? Where will my living expenses come from? Who will support me?" Liang Mi asked anxiously, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
Hua Lichu spread her hands: "But I earned my tuition fees myself!"
Liang Mi was caught off guard by these words.
With a dazed look in her eyes, does she really still have a choice?
Just then, Hua Lichu's gaze suddenly fell on Liang Mi's arm, which was accidentally exposed and covered in bruises and scars.
