In the countryside, how old are you to be gossiped before you get married?

Located in Hebei, if there is any deviation, don't copy it mechanically.

Because I have two sisters, I was forced to listen to countless annoying conversations before I got married, and I still hate the marriage rules in the countryside. In our country, the age of not getting married at the age of 24 or 25 is a bit too high. It is said that if you are 26 or 27, you will be called an old maid, and some rumors will be spread. If you are 30 years old, I have never heard of normal women in our village who are not married at the age of 30.

My sister got married a little late and finally set a wedding date with the man at the age of 24. In our village, the woman usually sets the wedding date around the age of twenty, and the man is generally one to two years older than the woman. In this case, the restrictions on women are even greater. When a woman is old, she can only find an older man to marry.

The age limit for marriage can easily lead to gossip among elderly women. Getting married in the countryside depends on family situation and appearance. If a girl has not found a suitable man by the age of twenty-four or five, people will think that the girl's family conditions are poor, her parents and brothers have moral problems, and the girl herself has certain problems. Because if the three of them had no problem, they would have been married long ago. In my opinion, everyone believes each other's nonsense. At a later age, generally no one wants it. People also don't like to let their children find young women for blind dates, so they can only find people with poor conditions to marry for life.

I once thought this was nonsense. No one would do that, but my cousin was called dishonest because she was old. When she was young, she talked with people many years older than herself, which led to her present marriage. I realized that this phenomenon is not uncommon in rural areas. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are their own disputes.

I can only try my best to leave this noisy environment and pursue my feelings. I don't want to give my life to others easily.
