Chapter 233 The Tragedy of a Dancer (16)
After thinking for a long time, Xia Mingzhu still couldn't find a breakthrough in the problem.
Is marriage the only way out for me?
Yes, Xia Mingzhu never intended to go to a dance hall to dance.
If she was really pushed to the limit, she decided to find a "luxury" meal ticket in advance and escape from this home.
Of course, getting married is the worst option right now, and she won't do it unless absolutely necessary!
But given her family background, there probably aren't many good potential partners waiting for her.
He's either a penniless young man who only talks big but has no money, and lives with a dozen or so family members crammed into a mud-brick house; or a wealthy businessman who lost his wife in middle age, has a dozen or so concubines, and is balding with a big belly.
None of these kinds of people are what she wants!
How can I find a suitable marriage partner?
For a moment, Xia Mingzhu was in a dilemma.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
"Sister, oh sister. Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being indifferent!"
It was only because your father was still alive that he arranged this good marriage for you. It was only because you were born early that you were fortunate enough to receive such a good match. But things are very different now. Putting everything else aside, just based on your current status as a "dance girl," you are definitely not good enough for such a good family!
Rather than waiting for someone else to break off the engagement, you might as well give it to me. I'll reluctantly accept your fiancé! Consider it your apology for all this trouble!
Xia Mingzhu made up her mind and quickly began to take action.
It's often said that a woman with a keen eye can obtain information about any man she's interested in. This saying certainly applies to Xia Mingzhu.
She quickly gathered a considerable amount of information about Zhou Fei. After reviewing this information, Xia Mingzhu was even more satisfied!
This kind of man is meant to be hers!
When Xia's father suddenly met with misfortune, it caught everyone off guard, including the Zhou family.
It was to be expected that the Xia family would soon decline without the support of Xia's father.
The Zhou family did not rush to break off the engagement; they had their own reasons for doing so.
It's said that marriage is a way to strengthen ties between two families. But if one family rushes to break off the engagement as soon as the other's in-laws run into trouble, while it may get rid of the problem, it also gives off a cold and indifferent vibe.
Who would dare to marry into such a family?
After all, no one can guarantee that their family will always prosper. In such turbulent times, you might be the next one to run into trouble.
Even if you can't offer help when your children are in-laws, you shouldn't kick them when they're down!
Therefore, the Zhou family suppressed their ulterior motives and resorted to other methods.
This method can be summed up in one word: delay!
In an era where the average age of marriage is only sixteen or seventeen, it is truly rare for Xia Mingwei to be engaged yet still unmarried.
The Zhou family had been waiting, waiting for the Xia family to finally come and discuss the matter.
After all, whoever brings this up first is at a disadvantage!
The Zhou family had a good plan; they intended to resolve this trouble by "delaying" it.
Although the impoverished Xia family is currently uncomfortable with the stigma of marriage ties, the woman herself will be the one to worry as Xia Mingwei gets older.
Times have always been much harsher on women.
