But then, she seemed to notice something and her tone dropped.
"But as expected, weddings without love are the most annoying thing."
She saw it, saw the bride, whose eyes were red even though she was smiling.
Obviously, the bride is not happy.
Firecrackers exploded and gongs and drums were played.
The lights are bright and people are laughing.
The smell of the food became stronger, so strong that it covered up the refreshing wood fragrance and tinged the air with a worldly flavor.
At this time, Ming Toufei finally understood what he had been feeling a little uncomfortable about since entering the venue.
It's so luxurious. This wedding is held in such an ordinary small town. It's really too luxurious.
A newly built auditorium, rare delicacies, delicious drinks and neatly made-up servants.
This wedding is not about celebrating the marriage of the two newlyweds, but about showing off the financial strength of the family behind the man!
There was a happy scene in the auditorium, and everyone was laughing.
Except for two people,
Tomioka Tsutako, who maintained a fake smile while socializing, and Tomioka Giyuu, who clenched his fists involuntarily.
At that time, Ming Mingfei looked at Tomioka Giyu's back and inexplicably thought of a word - loser.
He's the kind of loser who can't protect the things he holds dear!
For a moment, Shi Mingtou felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest!
Snapped--!
Suddenly, Shi Mingfei patted Tomioka Giyu's shoulder, his eyes ignited with a dark golden light.
"Yiyong, since you let us in just now, I will give you a chance to guarantee it."
He took a deep breath, his expression more serious than ever before.
"Now, you can step onto that dazzling stage, hold your beloved sister's hand, pull her out of the abyss of misfortune, and use your own strength to protect her happiness."
"Until one day, regardless of material things and life, she meets someone who can bring her true happiness, and you personally hand her hand to that man."
Shi Mingming squeezed Tomioka Giyu's shoulders tightly, as if to convey the credibility of his words.
"And I will vouch for you and find you a job.
This way, even without sacrificing your sister's happiness and future, you won't have to worry about survival."
"And the price you need is,"
Shi Mingfei took a deep breath and recalled his experiences in recent years.
"Persistent training, years of wielding the sword, and the courage to sacrifice one's life."
He looked directly into the eyes of the boy who looked back at him, and said word by word:
"That's right, there is no free lunch in the world, and this job may very well lead to your death."
"Think about it carefully. I'm leaving the choice to you. Do you have the courage to take the first step?"
Tomioka Giyuu stared at Shi Ming-fei for a long time, then spoke indifferently, saying something shocking:
"You pinched me."
At this moment, Ming Xiaofei's expression suddenly froze:.!
Is this what should happen next?
Chapter 43: A deal is a deal! The price she can pay
"but,"
Tomioka Giyuu shook his sore shoulders and walked towards his sister. The slightly narrowed eyes and the slightly raised arc of his mouth all indicated one thing: he smiled.
"It's a deal, it's clear now!"
Such a firm word rang in Tou Mingfei's ears, just like the words he had always kept in his heart: "I must! I must! I must protect everyone!"
"what--!"
Shi Zhifei gave an unconscious smile, rubbed the handle of the wooden knife at his waist, and spoke subconsciously,
"Of course it's a deal, Yiyong."
"Well,"
Kocho Shinobu glanced at the smile on the corner of her big fool's mouth, then held the back of her head and looked at the boy who walked out of the crowd.
"I suddenly realized that this guy isn't that annoying after all."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Yiyong and Xiao Mingfei are very similar."
Butterfly Kana smiled softly, then looked at her sister pitifully:
"I know Mingfei very well, but I don't know if someone has the courage to risk his life for his sister's happiness."
"Huh? Sister!" Shinobu Kocho yelled with a red face, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Isn't it natural to risk your life for the people you cherish?
Giyu Tomioka pursed his lips, squeezed through the crowd under everyone's surprised gaze, walked up to the wedding platform, looked at his sister's red eyes, and said nothing.
Tomioka Tsutako wears her hair in a bun, and her thin and delicate body under the beautiful white wedding dress has a soft flavor, which can also arouse people's desire for destruction.
She looked at her brother who was walking onto the stage, stretched out her scarred hand hidden under her white sleeves, and smiled dotingly and gently:
"Giyong, what's wrong? Are you being bullied by other kids again?"
Tomioka Giyuu dodged his sister's hand that was touching his forehead, and frowned slightly at his sister's insincere expression.
“I wasn’t excluded.”
Tomioka Tsutako narrowed her eyes slightly and lowered her hands, with a genuine smile revealing the corners of her mouth.
Her Giyuu was like that, denying reality and looking very serious, as if what he said about not being excluded was the truth.
But the problem is that he really thinks so.
To outsiders, this innocent look may seem aloof and unapproachable.
But as an elder sister, Tsutako knows that her brother is such a real naive person, which is rare in the world and very cute.
The wind danced gently, causing ripples on the girl's loose white sleeves. A red line was engraved on the sleeves on both sides, making her look even more charming.
At this moment, Tomioka Tsutako's hands, hidden in her sleeves, were gently clenched, telling the story of the girl's turbulent heart.
Because her younger brother was so cute and adorable, she made up her mind at a very young age.
For the sake of her younger brother, the only person she cherishes in this world, so that he can remain real, lovely and happy forever, she is willing to give everything she can.
The inheritance left by my father cannot last a lifetime. If I want to survive, I will inevitably suffer some hardships.
She didn't think much of spending the inheritance her father left her before, until she started working and earning her own money.
In this era, for ordinary people like them, making money is like swimming in the sea with a mountain on their backs, and it is difficult to catch their breath.
The price of exchanging those coins for a living is a tormented body and an exhausted spirit.
Kneeling by the river to wash early winter clothes.
Red! Cracks! Chilblains?
That’s okay, as long as the price is higher than usual.
Doing some sewing and mending by the kerosene lamp.
Stab! Pinhole! Pain? Blood?
It’s no big deal, because the siblings now have a source of income at night.
Even if I feel very tired, very painful, very bitter, and very uncomfortable, as long as Yiyong is by my side, as long as my loved ones are by my side, as long as I open my eyes I can see the people I cherish, then I will not be afraid of the fatigue of going out early and coming back late.
Even if her knees were red from being rubbed by the gravel by the river, even if her hands were covered with scratches and needle marks, as long as she could hear Xiao Yiyong say "I am not hated" during dinner, all the grievances in Tomioka Tsutako's heart would be erased, and the painful moans coming from all parts of her body would be gently soothed, melting into enough satisfaction to fill her heart and turning into a sincere arc at the corners of her mouth.
It is as sweet as cotton candy, right to the heart!
But we can't go on like this.
Tomioka Tsutako bit her lower lip lightly, and her hands hidden under her sleeves clenched tighter and tighter.
Her knees that creaked on rainy days and in winter, her lower back that felt like it was stabbed by a knife when she stood up, her vision that was gradually blurring under the kerosene lamp, and the needle hole that she could never thread through, all revealed to her a naked and sad reality.
She can't hold on much longer.
Soon, in two years, a year, or even worse, six months or a few months, her body will slowly break down.
She is afraid!
She was afraid that her body would collapse, die, or rot!
But what she fears more is that she will never be able to find a suitable job and earn enough money to support her family.
How is that possible!
Tomioka Tsutako lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Tomioka Giyuu tenderly, and gave him a doting smile.
But the veins on the back of her hands beneath her robe were already bulging.
That’s right! Absolutely not!
Maybe she should be accused of being greedy.
Because she was unwilling to accept that Yiyong could only live a life where he could barely get enough food.
She wanted to see Yiyong grow up well, make more friends, and smile from the bottom of his heart.
She also hopes that her younger brother can go to school and enrich his knowledge, so as not to suffer from the lack of education like her and be able to do rough work that anyone can do.
If possible, she also hopes that Yiyong can travel, see the world, spend his youth on a bigger stage, find the meaning of his life, and pursue happiness.
She wanted better things for her brother, and she knew that getting those things would come at a price.
She didn't have much to give.
In the past, she gave of the time, energy and health that everyone has.
At this moment, the only thing she could think of giving was to attend a wedding with a smile.
She will get something, and the weight is a girl's youth and a woman's future.
But there's nothing wrong with that, right?
Marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife with no worries about food and clothing.
Even being a bright and beautiful vase is better than being a loach rolling in the mud.
Her life was already considered lucky. At least relying on her appearance inherited from her parents and the youth that every girl possessed, she could have a fairly good future.
Although there may not be love as sweet as honey, how many people in the world can get that kind of candy that is hard to come by?
As long as Yiyong can be happy, that's enough.
Maybe some readers find it a bit weird?
Don't be impatient, let the bullets fly for a day.
If it really doesn't work, just revise the four non-compliants.
Who isn’t a newbie who makes mistakes?
Chapter 44 She is just prey
correct
As long as Yiyong can be happy, that's enough!
Maybe she really is a greedy bad girl, and maybe it was wrong for her to do this.
But if you want the people you cherish to live a better life, why should you be afraid of the accusations that may come?
Tomioka Tsutako lowered her tightly clenched hands gently. She had already made up her mind, and at this moment, she became even more determined.
