On the street, Wang Dong excitedly hugged Guo Lili and spun her around, completely ignoring the fact that Guo Lili was dizzy and felt like vomiting from being spun around.

"Brother Wang Dong... put me down quickly!" Guo Lili patted his shoulder hard, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Wang Dong was startled and quickly put her down.

Once released, Guo Lili rushed to the roadside, clutched her chest, and vomited without any regard for her image.

But she hadn't eaten a full meal recently, and there was nothing in her stomach to vomit. After a while, she only vomited some yellow liquid, and the sour smell made Wang Dong turn his head away in disgust.

But the play still has to be performed.

Wang Dong forced back his disgust and squatted down next to Guo Lili, patting her back as he said with heartache, "Lili, I really can't bear to see you suffer. I'll go and beg your older brother, okay?"

What?

Guo Lili suddenly raised her head.

Looking at the determined look on Wang Dong's face, she couldn't help but feel moved to tears, and choked out, "Brother Wang Dong, really?"

"ah?"

Wang Dong was stunned, his mouth agape as he stared at Guo Lili unexpectedly.

The image of Qin Zheng standing at the door that day, looking as if he wanted to shoo him to death, along with his strong physique, flashed through his mind, and he immediately shuddered involuntarily.

"No, Lily..."

Unexpectedly, Guo Lili grabbed his hands and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother Wang Dong, I knew you were a good person. For me, you even gave up your last bit of pride."

Wang Dong: "..."

Does he have any backbone?

He's going to die.

Wang Dong hesitated for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Lili, I just thought about it, and I think I still can't go."

"ah?"

Now it was Guo Lili's turn to be stunned.

Wang Dong closed his eyes and nodded fiercely, saying, "Whether you have backbone or not is no longer important in front of your suffering. If backbone could be exchanged for food, I would sell all my backbone as long as you can have enough to eat. But right now, it's not all about backbone."

"What's the problem?"

"It's a question of whether your older brother will respect me." Wang Dong said seriously, holding her hand. "Lili, it's a small matter if I lose my backbone, but I absolutely cannot let your older brother look down on me. What if he looks down on me, thinks I'm unreliable, and doesn't want to marry you off to me?"

Guo Lili opened her mouth slightly.

She was confused for a moment.

Would her older brother look down on Wang Dong for abandoning his pride in order to get her food?

Could it be that she feels Wang Dong would even lose his backbone just to feed her, and that's why she'll change her opinion of him?

She suddenly didn't understand.

She had previously protected Wang Dong, not wanting Wang Dong to suffer any grievances in front of Qin Zheng, and even if she herself suffered grievances, she was unwilling to let Wang Dong beg Qin Zheng.

But now that she's so poor and hungry, she really wants Wang Dong to back down.

Wang Dong seemed to see through her thoughts, and his face turned ashen. He sighed and said, "Lili, I know what you're thinking, but I really don't want to borrow money from them. Even if you go, I still don't want to. If it weren't for the suffering you've endured, I wouldn't have gone to them to borrow money. Otherwise, wouldn't I be proving your sister-in-law's words true?"

After saying that, he angrily let go of Guo Lili's hand, turned his back, and sighed.

Guo Lili felt a pang of panic.

Seeing that Wang Dong was angry, the last bit of his brain seemed to disappear as well. He immediately said anxiously, "Brother Wang Dong, don't be angry. Since you said that my older brother still cares about me, I'll give it a try. I heard that my older brother recently started a big company in the provincial capital and made a lot of money. I'll go to the provincial capital to find him. What do you think?"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong immediately turned around and looked at her eagerly.

Guo Lili nodded decisively.

She really went all out to appease Wang Dong.

"That's great!" Wang Dong hugged her tightly, no longer bothered by her sour smell.

Guo Lili breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "But Brother Wang Dong, if we go to the provincial capital, we'll need money for transportation, and we don't have any money on us right now..."

Wang Dong paused for a moment.

But soon he smiled again, "Don't worry, I'll go to the feed mill and carry the bags. I'll definitely earn back the fare for you!"

"good!"

Guo Lili finally smiled too.

Then she threw herself into Wang Dong's arms, and at that moment, she once again felt the sweetness of sharing joys and sorrows.

From an angle she couldn't see, Wang Dong also curled his lips into a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with an air of certainty.

It's just the fare.

It's just a few dollars. With just a few dollars, Guo Lili was sent to the provincial capital and placed in her brother's company, which brought her countless riches and huge profits!

...

In the alley, Wang Dong's mother took out a wad of cash wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket, reluctantly pulled out two bills, and quickly handed them to Wang Dong.

As she handed over the money, she looked heartbroken and said through gritted teeth, "Dongzi, when are you finally going to get Guo Lili married? I've been living at your grandma's place every day, taking care of your uncle's family. Didn't you say that if we married Guo Lili, we could live a good life? Why is this so difficult?"

Wang Dong impatiently took the money and said, "Mom, this isn't that easy. Lili's sister-in-law is a real nuisance, so annoying!"

Wang Dong's mother: "Her sister-in-law?"

“That’s right!” Wang Dong’s face darkened when he thought of Ye Yun. “Before, Lili’s father and three brothers offended Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng sent her father and two unrelated brothers to jail, but he spared the youngest sister who was born to their mother. This shows that Qin Zheng cares about these two siblings. It means that the problem is not with Qin Zheng, but with his wife!”
