I was 20 years old when I returned home after graduating from middle school. I was the eldest child in my family and the apple of my parents' eyes. I was not very good at farm work and was not a material for farm work. I still couldn't get married when I was 23 years old. I was about to join the ranks of old girls. I didn't want to be an old girl, so I decided to go out of the mountains and go to Fujian to get married. There were several people in the village. The girl got married in Fujian. When I was ready for everything, a dilemma happened. The short story I wrote was finally published in the city's tabloid. Many people in the village spread the word and read the newspaper. People in the surrounding villages also knew that the article I wrote was published in the supplement of the newspaper. Will it change my decision? After thinking about it for a day and a night, the simple-minded me decided to go to another province to get married as planned. However, this hasty decision cost me a heavy price. My mother got a heart attack due to excessive sadness. She struggled with the disease for three years and finally left us. My father no longer loved me because I It would be very shameful for him to leave everything behind and run away to another province to marry. If I could have predicted that my mother would die of a heart attack, I would not leave this family even if I were an old girl for the rest of my life. Everything is unpredictable and everything cannot be changed. Destiny decides everything.
