Old man Wang in the team died of tuberculosis two years ago. Thinking of this, Sanbengzi immediately dropped the shovel in his hand and rushed to the Li family in a hurry.

Including the sewing machine, Sanbengzi spent nearly three hundred yuan to get married. If he married someone with tuberculosis, he would definitely end up penniless.

This won't do. He has to get back the money he gave to the Li couple and ask the matchmaker to help him find a wife.

Shen Yunshu and his companions did not walk far and stood not far from the entrance of the Li family.

Suddenly, a limping figure came into the sight of the three of them. When they got closer, the frog-like face, which was as bumpy as the surface of the moon, became clearly visible.

Mrs. Cao said angrily: "It's a good thing Daya didn't agree, otherwise Daya's life would be ruined if she married a man like this."

Liu Meiling agreed, "You can't marry a man like that. If it really doesn't work, I'll pool my money to help rescue Daya."

"Why collect money? You don't need to collect a single cent." Shen Yunshu didn't want to let those unscrupulous parents get away with it, so she withdrew her gaze from the old bachelor.

One more look and she wouldn't have to eat tonight.

Shen Yunshu felt that the view was not satisfying enough, so she took Mrs. Cao and Liu Meiling to climb up the old locust tree.

Standing at this perspective, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Li family.

As soon as Sanbengzi stepped into the Li family's gate, he started yelling, "Li Dazhuang, return the money to me quickly, or I'll chop you up with a knife."

Li Dazhuang was a little afraid of the three-horse team. He pushed Liu Cuihua out and hid in the house like a turtle.

Liu Cuihua cursed all of Li Dazhuang's ancestors in her heart, but facing the aggressive Sanbengzi, she put on a smile.

"Son-in-law, what's wrong? Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Our marriage is settled, and I've received the betrothal money. The whole brigade knows that my daughter belongs to you. Now you want to cancel the engagement. How will my daughter live in the future?"

"Stop talking nonsense! How dare you hide the fact that your daughter has tuberculosis from me? Are you tired of living?"

After saying that, Sanbengzi kicked Liu Cuihua viciously.

Liu Cuihua was thrown to the ground and stumbled to her feet, cursing, "My daughter is fine. We don't know what tuberculosis is. Stop accusing her."

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Daya came out of the house with a weak look on her face. Before she could even speak, she started coughing wildly.

When Sanbengzi saw Daya's appearance, he became even more determined to cancel the engagement. He was marrying a wife, not a sickly woman.

When Liu Cuihua thought of the word "tuberculosis" that Sanbengzi said, her heart was beating fast.

Could it be that this damn girl really has tuberculosis? Why does she look a bit like...

After coughing a few times, Daya began to vomit blood, and her handkerchief was covered in blood.

Not only Li Dazhuang was scared, but Liu Cuihua was also scared. She turned to Li Dazhuang and said:

"My family has accepted your betrothal gift. From now on, Daya is yours. Take her away quickly."

"Bullshit! The person is coughing like this, and you still want me to take him away. Aren't you cheating me? Pay me back quickly."

“…The money is all gone…I don’t have any…” Liu Cuihua refused to give in.

Now that the dead girl is in this state, they can't let her stay in their hands. They must get rid of her. Whether she lives or dies will have nothing to do with them. The one hundred yuan betrothal gift and the sewing machine also belong to their family.

Daya was still coughing up blood crazily, and her face was so pale that she looked like she was about to collapse at any moment.

Li Dazhuang glanced at Daya, who was staggering, and then raised his fist to punch Liu Cuihua.

Liu Cuihua was beaten so hard that she cried for her parents. Seeing that she was about to be beaten to death by the three-bengzi, she quickly cried and begged for mercy:

"The money is not with me, it's all in the hands of my man, so just let me go."

"Where is that loser Li Dazhuang?"

"...inside the house...inside the house..."

Sanbengzi let go of Liu Cuihua in disgust, kicked the door open, and dragged the coward Li Dazhuang who was hiding in the house into the yard.

At this time, a group of people gathered at the door of Li's house to watch the fun. The team leader hurried over after hearing the news.

The captain recognized at a glance that the man beating people was a three-wheeled motorcycle driver from the neighboring brigade, and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Sanbengzi stopped beating him and said, "Captain, for your sake, I won't hit him, but he has to return my 100 yuan betrothal gift and the sewing machine."

Li Dazhuang gnashed his teeth and said, "My daughter is engaged to you. She is yours. Don't even think about taking the betrothal gifts and sewing machine with you."

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Sanbengzi raised his foot and kicked him on the buttocks: "Your daughter has tuberculosis. Which man dares to marry her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the team members' attention was focused on Daya, who was coughing madly as if she was going to cough out her lungs. When they saw the blood on her handkerchief, they were afraid of being infected and quickly took a few steps back.

The captain frowned and looked over: "Daya, do you really have tuberculosis?"

“…Captain…cough cough…I didn’t…cough cough…” Daya coughed so hard that she couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Then the captain saw her coughing up blood.

From this perspective, the girl from the Li family is really unlucky. Not only has she never enjoyed happiness at such a young age, but now she has tuberculosis, a life-threatening disease.

The captain felt a little distressed.

Sanbengzi struck while the iron was hot and said, "Captain, if the Li couple don't return my betrothal gift, I will burn down your entire brigade. Anyway, I am not afraid of wearing shoes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the team members panicked and they all persuaded Li Dazhuang and his wife to return the betrothal money to Sanbengzi.

Li Dazhuang and his wife refused to give it to him no matter what.

The captain looked at the two people in front of him who were as fearless as dead pigs in boiling water, and a trace of disgust appeared on his face:

"Li Dazhuang, Liu Cuihua, return the betrothal money immediately, or we will kick you out of the team."

Li Dazhuang and his wife were scared now. Finally, under the double threat of the team leader and Sanbengzi, they reluctantly returned the betrothal money and the sewing machine in the house.

"Tuberculosis is contagious. Your family should avoid contact with the people in the team. From now on, the land in the east section will be left to you and your wife to cultivate."

After saying that, the captain left without looking back. The team members were afraid of contracting a disease, so they ran away in a flash.

Daya is still coughing.

Li Dazhuang and Liu Cuihua were afraid that Daya would infect them with the disease, so they drove Daya to the abandoned pigpen.

"What should we do? If this damn girl dies at home, we won't get a penny."

"Didn't the woman who came today give us a hundred dollars? Let's go find her. Anyway, that little girl has tuberculosis now and is dying. Let's just cut off all ties with her."
