Chapter 106 It's better to die

Marrying Liu Xiaocao will pay off the debt.

It’s called marrying, but in fact it’s almost the same as selling.

Because they asked for a huge betrothal gift of three hundred yuan.

As soon as this condition was put forward, those who were interested were scared away.

But some people did not retreat.

It is the fool’s home in a dual-income family in the commune.

But just because a fool is stupid doesn't mean his parents are also stupid.

She is not a sucker, so it is impossible for her to agree to a high betrothal gift of 300 yuan.

It so happened that the fool's sister had polio, and problems with her legs caused difficulties in her marriage, making her a 25-year-old old maid.

Although Brother Liu Xiaocao doesn't look good, he is a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is very deceptive.

The silly father fell in love with her at first sight.

So he discussed with Liu Xiaocao's parents that since their children were going to be in-laws, they might as well solve the marriage issue of their son and daughter together.

So, the original sale of a daughter turned into an exchange of daughters.

Liu Xiaocao married the fool, and Liu Xiaocao's brother married the fool's sister.

There was no 300 yuan betrothal gift, but the fool's family was willing to pay off Brother Liu Xiaocao's debt and arrange a temporary job for him in the commune's meat processing factory.

Whether he can be converted to a regular employee depends on his performance.

Nowadays, people in the country are trying their best to move to the city.

Although the commune is not as good as the county or city, it is many times better than the rural area.

Even if he is just a temporary worker, Liu Xiaocao's parents are proud of him.

What's more, the marriage issues of the only two single children have been settled, so there is no reason for Liu Xiaocao's parents to disagree.

Even if Liu Xiaocao married a fool, they could only be happy.

Because it crosses class.

But Liu Xiaocao had not known about this before she went to her maternal family's home. By the time she found out, her brother's debt had been paid off and the brother and sister's wedding date had been set.

Then there was the incident where Yi Chichi saw her trying to commit suicide.

After hearing the whole process, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

They really had no idea about this. How come Big Mouth was so tight-lipped this time? She didn't even let out a single word about such a big thing. It was so strange.

"The fool you are talking about is the one from the Lu family in the commune?"

Liu Xiaocao hummed, her eyes red and swollen, "I just went to my grandma's house, and this happened when I came back... wuwuwu..."

Overwhelmed with grief, she started crying again.

Liu Xiangqian and the others suddenly felt a toothache.

Huang Xiuying, "What did your mother say?"

"She would rather I die than agree to break off the engagement."

This is a difficult matter. They say marriage is free and parents do not allow arranged marriages.

But parents in rural areas still have a lot of power. So what if they take care of everything for the children? They won't really turn against each other.

As brigade cadres, it is impossible for them to instigate people to turn against each other.

However, the problem that needs to be solved still needs to be solved. We can't just watch the grass die.

Spring planting is coming soon, and they don't have the time to watch over her every day to prevent her from committing suicide.

"When is the wedding date?"

"On the 15th of next month."

Wow, the schedule is so tight, we have to get married during the spring planting season.

What? Are you saying that we can just send the person over quietly and that’s it?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiangqian said in a deep voice, "Let's go to your house!"

Liu Xiaocao didn't want to go back. When she thought about her future being tied to a fool, she felt that it would be better to just die.

If it can be solved, it's fine. But what if it can't be solved? As if seeking comfort, she opened her red and swollen eyes and said pitifully, "Uncle, can it be solved?"

As she spoke, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

Liu Xiangqian and the others saw it, and their hearts suddenly sank. If Xiaocao's problem was not resolved once and for all, this kid would find another opportunity to commit suicide.

"I will do it. Even if it means you have to separate and live alone, I will still do it for you."

Liu Chengqi made the final decision. Liu Xiaocao was also a person who knew how to grasp the key points. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Can we split up the family?"

If she could separate and live on her own, she could go back.

"Yes, as long as you are determined enough."

"Then I'll go back with you."

She stood up instantly as if she had been given an injection of chicken blood. Liu Xiangqian exchanged glances with them and went home with her.

Yi Chichi didn't want to join in the subsequent fun, so he turned around and went around the back of the house and took the path to the cowshed.

"Grandpa, Xiao Jiu!"

She stood at the side door and looked inside and saw her great uncle chopping wood with an axe.

He is still strong despite being old. With one blow of the axe, he cut the thick wood into two pieces.

There was a pile of chopped firewood on the ground. Old Mrs. Song was leading Qin Jiu to pick up the chopped firewood and stack it against the wall.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing her voice, the old man who was about to chop down with his arm turned around and looked over.

"Why are you here at this time?"

He put down the axe and walked quickly over to open the door for her, and Qin Jiu followed him hurriedly.

The moment Yi Chichi came in, she hugged her legs and called her aunt.

"I came to see you when I missed you."

She picked up Xiao Jiu and called out to Old Lady Song and the others.

"Go inside and talk. Don't stay outside. There are so many people around and you won't be bothered by them."

Old Master Song immediately urged them into the house. This was not the first time Yi Chichi had come. Although everyone was not very familiar with her, they were not strangers to her.

I am even more unwilling to be dragged down by their identities.

Therefore, every time she came over, she would be driven into the house and they would stay outside to keep watch for her.

Yi Chichi was also used to it. Upon hearing the sound, she carried Qin Jiu and the old man into the house.

After asking about the old and the young's recent situation and checking Qin Jiu's study progress and stationery, she went straight to the point, "Grandpa, Wen Shi and He Yunsong asked me to take care of you. Do you need anything now?"

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, "Did you tell them about our relationship?"

"No."

It’s good that he’s not there. I feel relieved without him.

The old man let out a long sigh, "We are not short of things at the moment. The most difficult winter is over. Comrade Liu and his men have also sent a lot of things over. Don't worry too much about us."

"That won't work. The captain and the others sent you here. I promised Wen Shi that they would take good care of you. I've accepted the money and tickets."

As she spoke, she took out the Great Unity and a thick stack of bills from the inner pocket of her cotton-padded jacket and said, "See? These are all what they left behind."

"Just tell me what you need. There's no need to save money for me. It's not my money or tickets that are being spent."

She spoke frankly, and the old man was speechless. Once again, he felt helpless about the situation of his niece's granddaughter.

but--

"We're short on wine, can you get some?"

The corner of Yi Chichi's mouth twitched. She went to buy New Year's goods before the New Year. She bought cigarettes, candies, cakes, etc., but she didn't buy any wine.

"Are you still thinking about wine?"

"Grandpa has been drinking!"

Qin Jiu raised his hand and complained, "Captain Grandpa and his men sent some wine, but it was gone after just a few days of drinking."

Yi Chichi looked at the old man. The old man curled his lips and said childishly, "You are stupid, don't you know? You know how to buy cigarettes, but why don't you know how to buy wine?"

"You need a wine ticket to buy wine, and I don't have one."

She was so confident that the old man got anxious when he heard it, "Then quickly check if the tickets given by Wen Xiaozi and the others have any wine tickets."

This is really a wine craving.

I'm afraid it's not just the old man who is greedy, but everyone else except Old Lady Song and Qin Jiu is greedy.

"Okay, let me take a look."
