Xia Chuan diligently picked up food for Ma Lili.
After taking a few sips of wine, Father Ma sighed, "My third daughter, I'm not bragging, she has been very capable since she was young. Because of her hard work, I sold everything I had to support her education. She ranked first in the medical school exams every year, and entered the county hospital after graduation. Her salary is equal to that of a man."
"As a result, he finished his studies and made a name for himself, but in the end, I don't know which family he ended up with," said Ma's father sadly. "So it's better to have a son. If you have a daughter, you will raise her with all your heart, but in the end, she will be raised by someone else."
"Don't you think so?"
The matchmaker smiled and smoothed things over, "Lily is indeed a rare good girl in this area, and the Ma family is really good at raising girls."
Everyone knew that Ma's father was talking nonsense. He was obviously trying to raise his status and was preparing to ask for a huge amount of money for the bride price.
Ma Wenwu also gave her sister some leverage, "Isn't it? Hao Xufeng has already promised my sister to go to the crew in the south of the city to film."
"The director has met her and said that my sister has the temperament of a young lady and may become a big star in the future."
"Big stars make at least a few thousand yuan a month."
When he said this, he smiled at Xia Mian and said, "You are also very good-looking. If you want to film a movie, I will ask for you."
"No," Xia Mian said coldly, "I don't like being a star."
Ma Lili looked up at Xia Mian.
Xia Chuan frowned and looked at Ma Lili, "Hao Youtou introduced you to film a movie?"
Ma Lili tried to suppress the corners of her mouth and pretended to be calm, "It hasn't been decided yet. Didn't the director of the filming in South City say he wanted to select a female actress? I went for an audition, and the director said I was okay."
It would be fine if you just avoid the main point, but this is nonsense.
Xia Mian had a hunch that Xia Chuan and Ma Lili's relationship would not succeed. The problem was not with the Ma family, but with this girl. She was obviously not someone who was content with the status quo.
Everyone in Mingxi County knew that a movie was being filmed in Nancheng. After all, filming a TV show, which was supposed to be a very distant thing, was happening right before their eyes, so how could people in a small place not be excited
The crew rented the architectural complex and ancestral hall of the Jia family, the oldest family in Mingxi County, and it seemed that they were filming a drama about the Republic of China.
When the crew first arrived, the idle people in the county flocked to watch all day long, and it took more than half a month for the atmosphere to gradually calm down.
When Xia Mian came back, Xia Chuan was still thinking about taking her and Xiao Feng to see something strange.
But they were not very interested. When Mao Zhishan was filming in Yan City, his family members were also curious about it and found time to visit the set.
The Hao Xufeng mentioned by Ma Wenwu and the Hao Youtou mentioned by Xia Chuan are the sons of the richest man in Mingxi County, the guy who tried to marry Mao Huimei.
After Mao Huimei's family disappeared, the Hao family gave the Mao family a good beating, and even forced Mao's eldest daughter, Mao Huihe, to marry Hao Xufeng instead of Mao Huimei.
When Xia Mian first heard about this, she was shocked. She asked Xia Chuan, "Why is the Hao family doing this? That Mao Huihe is also very beautiful?"
Xia Chuan said, "It's just average, far worse than Sister Huimei."
That's why Xia Mian didn't understand. "His family is the richest after all. Wouldn't it be better for him to marry someone of equal status? At least it would be helpful."
Xia Chuan said, "Hao Youtou is such a person, if he really marries someone of equal status, he will definitely become an enemy."
"He has been spoiled by the Hao couple. You don't know that he is completely lawless in the county and he beats women whenever he wants."
"Hao, the richest man, can't take care of it anymore, so I want him to get married and have a grandson, and then train him to take over the family business."
"With Hao Youtou's personality, he certainly can't marry a strong wife, otherwise it will be troublesome if he makes trouble."
Xia Mian felt a little scared, "So they just want to marry someone to have children?"
"That's right." Xia Chuan couldn't help but sympathize. "That Mao Huihe is quite miserable. The Hao family has something on the Mao family. Hao Xiaofeng can beat her whenever he wants. She dares not say a word. I heard that she once stayed in the hospital for more than a month."
"Hao Youtou treated her as a mere decoration and blatantly went out to find women to play with."
"I heard that when Mao Huihe was in confinement after giving birth, that oily Hao brought the woman home and fooled around in the bedroom. Mao Huihe and the Mao family didn't dare to say a word."
Xia Mian was amazed. "Doesn't the richest man Hao care?"
Xia Chuan said, "That's something that can be managed. He doesn't want to punish him cruelly, so in the end, can he just let it go?"
"Whose daughter can you marry and be treated so badly? Mao Huihe can't divorce even if she wants to. The Hao family won't let her, and Hao Xufeng doesn't want to."
This incident really shocked Xia Mian, but she later put it out of her mind. Anyway, that oily Hao probably forgot about Mao Huimei.
The Mao family deserved what they had done to themselves. If Mao Huihe really wanted to seek revenge, she should look for Old Lady Mao.
I didn't expect to hear about Hao Xufeng in such an occasion.
Mr. Hao, the richest man in China, does have connections with the director of the crew. After all, the Hao family is rich and the director is short of money, so he certainly wouldn't miss out on the right investment.
So Hao Xufeng used the excuse of selecting actresses and cultivating big stars to lure young girls everywhere.
Ma Wenwu mentioned Hao Xufeng, and Ma Lili said that she had met the director, which obviously meant that she had already contacted Hao Xufeng.
It is true that this girl wants to escape from the Ma family.
But she should have prepared multiple paths for herself. I just don't know whether Xiachuan's is the last retreat, the first choice, or just a stepping stone.
Xia Chuan, who was in love, obviously couldn't think of these things. He just smiled and advised, "Filming is not that simple. It requires professional training. Now the whole county knows that Hao Youtou cheated beautiful girls everywhere. Lili, you should be more cautious. Isn't being a nurse good?"
Ma Wenwu immediately said angrily, "What do you mean? How can my sister compare with those women? My sister has already met the director, and the director said that my sister has a good temperament."
Ma Lili remained silent and did not refute, and was obviously very confident in herself.
The matchmaker saw that Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia's expressions faded, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this, it's a nonsensical thing. Aren't we talking about the marriage of the two children?"
"There's no rush for marriage." Father Ma seemed to have great confidence in Ma Lili, and he was very confident. "We're just visiting and chatting."
He looked at Xia Mian and smiled, "Is this your niece who was taken to Yan City to study because she saved a rich man?"
This sounds weird.
The Xia family members didn't say anything. The eldest aunt smiled and said, "She is my niece. She is studying in Yan City."
Ma's mother immediately asked Xia Mian with interest, "Are you living with that rich family in Yan City?"
"Do they eat like they do on TV, with every meal laid out on a plate?"
"Studying in Yan City isn't cheap, is it? How much is the tuition per year?"
"What year of high school are you in? Are you about to graduate?"
Xia Mian just ate silently. The aunt picked up a piece of meat for Ma's mother and said with a smile, "Big sister, eat more."
After eating a mouthful of meat, Ma's mother continued, "Your niece is so lucky. You saved a rich man. You will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
Xia Mian didn’t know how to complain. It seemed that other people’s misfortunes had become her luck of accidentally meeting a rich man.
This is not the end. Ma's mother smiled and sighed, "This girl is also good-looking. She is not much worse than our Lili. She will definitely have a good future."
Ma Wenwu kept nodding his head in agreement beside her, grinning at her with a mouthful of uneven teeth, which made Xia Mian feel really itchy.
If it wasn't for Xia Chuan's sake, she really wanted to throw the bowl at him.
"By the way, I just heard that these two dishes were made by this girl?" Ma's mother said in a very satisfied tone, "She's quite capable. Did she learn it from a rich family?"
"You are so skillful, you know how to serve others, and you seem to be able to handle things. I'm sure people will be satisfied with you."
"When you graduate from high school, I'll find you a job in Yan City, and you'll be a Yan City resident from now on."
"But it's not good for a girl to fight alone in Yan City. It's better to get help from relatives and friends."
Father Ma said, "That's right. You see, people working outside have to stick together. Otherwise, it's easy for one person to be bullied."
"Our family's Wenwu..."
Uncle Xia interrupted Ma's mother and said, "Mianmian, don't you have something else to do? Go and do it first."
The aunt also said, "Well, go quickly."
Ma's mother said, "What could be the problem? We haven't finished eating yet. How about we ask the civil and military helpers..."
“No need!” Xia He stood in front of Ma Wenwu who was standing up, and pressed his shoulders to push him down. “You are guests, how can I let you work? Eat!”
Ma Wenwu was unable to move and could only watch Xia Mian leave.
After Xia Mian returned home, the more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed, so she decided to call Ning Shaobai.
But knowing that her doctor Ning was coming to pick her up, she felt much better now.
Hong Juan put the bowls in front of Xia Mian and sighed, "This Ma family is really no good. I thought Ma Lili was pretty good, but it seems like she is also ambitious."
Li Fang also saw it, "I'm afraid the third brother can't be subdued."
Hongjuan said, "I actually hope that he can't be subdued, and that the other person dumps him and moves on to a higher branch."
Li Fang said, "I think she should also know that Hao Youtou is not reliable, so she came to our third brother."
As expected, everyone guessed almost the same thing, except that Xia Chuan, who was in love, was blinded by love.
"I'm afraid her thoughts are also with Mian Mian."
Hong Juan asked, "You mean, she asked Mian Mian to take her to Yan City?"
As the three were talking, Xia Chuan brought Ma Lili into the gate.
