The rich guy was too inexperienced, so the school beauty's group of girlfriends had no choice b

"Tong Mengxi, do you know that our Miao village is descended from Mother Butterfly? For thousands of years, she has blessed our village with favorable weather, abundant harvests, and the safety of people and livestock! Miao women must get married when they reach a certain age; this is a rule passed down from generation to generation, the path set by Mother Butterfly!"

"If you break this rule, you'll be disrespecting your ancestors and Mother Butterfly!"

"If she gets angry and leaves, our village will be without protection. Crops will stop growing, livestock will fail, and the ancestral spirits will be cut off!"

"Can you bear this sin alone? You'll become the sinner of the entire village!"

For a time, many villagers gathered outside the door to persuade Tong Mengxi.

"Mengxi, you can't be so selfish. You have to think about our village."

"Why don't we call your parents back and let them decide?"

"No one can come back. You have to get married. How can you allow a woman to say she doesn't want to get married? Is this some kind of rebellion?"

"If all else fails, let's use a love potion on Mengxi and make her fall in love with Xiaowei."

"That's a good idea, but don't let the village secretary know, or he'll be angry."

house.

"No, no~"

Tong Mengxi was terrified.

"How can my aunt be even more awful than Su Su's!"

Tong Mengxi regretted coming back and was immediately pressured to get married.

But all her peers are already married.

But Tong Mengxi was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and had seen the world. She didn't believe that her not getting married would affect the feng shui of the village.

But you can't reason with these people who are into feudal superstition.

Notifying Mom and Dad to come back is useless; the final decision rests with the clan chief.

"Mother Butterfly, please show me the way!"

Tong Mengxi knelt on the bed and prayed.

She was truly at her wit's end.

escape?

The people of this old Miao village are known for their fierce and unyielding spirit; there's no escaping it.

bang——

The door was pushed open.

Auntie led a group of villagers in.

What are you doing?

Tong Mengxi was so frightened that she huddled in a corner of the bed.

Aunt: "The engagement is finalized! Someone, help her get dressed!"

"I don't want to!"

"You have no choice! Xiaowei has booked plane tickets for your parents; they'll be back tonight for your engagement party."

Several village women rushed up and subdued her.

Xiao Wei looked at the beautiful Tong Mengxi and said to her, "Mengxi, I will treat you well."

Tong Mengxi glared at him: "I won't marry you."

"If you won't marry me, you'll marry one of them?"

Xiao Wei pointed to several other misshapen young men behind him, some short and stout, some with buck teeth, some with dark skin, and some with yellow teeth.

"I won't marry him, let me go."

Tong Mengxi struggled in vain and was then carried by several village women to the inner room to put on Miao clothing.

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Li."

Aunt: "Still calling her Aunt Li?"

Xiao Wei: "Auntie."

Auntie said with satisfaction, "That's more like it. Come on, everyone, let's go prepare for the engagement banquet. Slaughtering the pig and the sheep, Xiaowei prepared all of that."

……

On the one hand, for places that taxis can't reach, people have to travel over mountains and rivers.

The three little ones climbed up the mountain path.

Su Jing took pictures of the surrounding scenery from behind: "Although Sister Mengxi's hometown is a bit remote, the scenery is really beautiful. I would be willing to stay here for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, Su Jing looked ahead and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The three children knew that coming to Tongmengxi's hometown required trekking through mountains and rivers, so they all wore pants—some were sweatpants, some were jeans, and some were casual pants. Because they were climbing mountains, the pants were very tight, outlining different shapes of peaches.

Su Jing's fatigue vanished instantly.

Keep staring at it like that.

He slowly took out his camera.

Sheng Yingran: "Su Su, let me see the landscape photos you took."

"I... I'll show you later."

Climbing up the hillside, what comes into view is the small village built against the mountain at its foot.

The four of them descended the hillside and arrived outside the village.

Su Jing saw the village decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, and red cloths with words written on them everywhere: "Is someone getting married today?"

Sheng Yingran exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected to encounter a Miao wedding! I'm so curious!"

Su Jing: "Sister, I need to go to the toilet."

"Wait a moment," Sheng Yingran said, walking up to a middle-aged man who was putting up "double happiness" characters. "Uncle, could you tell me where Tong Mengxi lives?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the group and asked, "Are you here for a wedding?"

The group of people were taken aback.

Unexpectedly, it was Tong Mengxi's family hosting the banquet.

Sheng Yingran: "Yes, yes, yes, for wedding banquets."

Uncle: "Go along this road, it's the house at the very top."

Sheng Yingran looked into the distance along the bluestone path, where stilted houses, arranged in a staggered pattern, stretched all the way up the mountain.

Is there a restroom nearby?

"Go further in, there's a toilet on the small slope near the central square."

"OK."

As they admired the Miao architecture, the group walked further in and soon arrived at the central square. It was a lively place, with almost all the villagers gathered there, slaughtering pigs and sheep to prepare a feast.

"Wait for me a moment." Su Jing hurriedly went to the toilet on the small slope.

The three little ones watched the preparations for the Miao ethnic banquet.

Xiao Wei, dressed in Miao ethnic clothing, smiled and walked up to the group of people from other ethnic groups, asking, "Who are you?"

Sheng Yingran smiled: "We are Tong Mengxi's classmates."

"Oh, so you're a distinguished guest! Please have a seat. Auntie, Mengxi's classmate has arrived."

"Hello, three little girls~ I'm Mengxi's aunt."

Auntie greeted them warmly.

The three children were a little confused.

Ayina: "Isn't it said that her aunt is sharp-tongued and mean, comparable to Su Jing's aunt? Why is she so enthusiastic?"

Luo Meina: "Mengxi's family is having a wedding. Doesn't she only have one daughter? I don't understand."

Sheng Yingran: "Auntie, who's having a wedding in Mengxi's family?"

Auntie was taken aback: "Who else could it be? Isn't it Tong Mengxi? This Xiaowei is her fiancé."

Ah? ? ?

The three little ones were shocked.

"No, why are you getting married so soon?"

Auntie smiled and said, "Tong Mengxi and Xiaowei are in love and perfectly matched. They are both of our Miao ethnicity, so of course they should get married."

The three little ones were stunned.

Sheng Yingran whispered, "There's a problem."

Ayina retorted angrily, "How old is she? How could she possibly be married...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Yingran stopped him: "Don't be impulsive. This is a Miao village. You can't do anything reckless here."

Ayina felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the wary eyes around her.

Sheng Yingran: "Although I don't know the reason, I know that Mengxi was forced."

Ayina: "What do we do? Think of something! Where's Susu? She's still in bed peeing! Her sister's getting married soon!"
