Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.
When he opened ...
At this moment, Gao Ming's family had no time to care about Zhang Lu and Park Young!
Their biggest target, Li Xiangdong, had vanished without a trace, and Fan Jingzhu, whom they had been guarding closely, suddenly appeared on his sister's bed.
Gao Dianlan went completely mad, saying that she and Fan Jingzhu had already consummated their relationship, and if his father and brother did not agree to their marriage, she would make a scene and see if the Gao family would still have the face to stay in Qili Village.
"Did Gao Ming agree?"
Li Xiangdong ate sunflower seeds, listening with great interest to the two men's story.
Zhang Lu and Park Young were already feeling guilty for making a mistake while drunk, but when they saw that Li Xiangdong was interested, they quickly told him everything they knew and what they had found out later.
Du Liang remained silent, his expression ambiguous.
Zhang Lu glanced at Du Liang sideways, noticing that he didn't seem happy or unhappy. His heart pounded, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only suppress his anxiety and continue talking to Li Xiangdong.
"Gao Ming clearly doesn't want to agree."
Park Young said, "But Go Dien-ran didn't even put on any clothes and just wanted to go out on the street to let everyone know that she and Beom Kyung-joo had consummated their marriage."
"Wow! That's really going all out!"
Li Xiangdong sighed, even stopping his sunflower seeds, and clapped his hands in approval, "This girl is something else!"
Park Young said with a smile, "This girl is really interesting. If it were someone else, they would probably be crying and sobbing."
Zhang Lu continued, "After Gao Dianlan made such a scene, Gao Ming, though gritting his teeth and disagreeing, was unhappy with his cousins and their wives. If they didn't give in to Gao Dianlan and let her ruin their reputation, how would they live in the village?"
Li Xiangdong nodded, "That makes some sense."
Park Young spread her hands, "Before we left, Gao Ming agreed to let the two of them get their marriage certificate."
"What did Fan Jingzhu say?"
From their accounts, it seems that only Gao Dianlan was fighting desperately, while Fan Jingzhu was like a transparent background.
Zhang Lu scratched his head. "Fan Jingzhu agreed, huh?"
Li Xiangdong thought to himself, "I hope Gao Dianlan hasn't misjudged Fan Jingzhu."
However, judging from Gao Dianlan's behavior, he is both brave and resourceful. He is willing to risk everything for what he wants, so he should be able to extricate himself in time no matter what happens in the future.
Qili Village.
The Gao family.
Despite acknowledging the marriage, Fan Jingzhu was still severely beaten by Gao Ming.
Gao Dianlan packed her usual belongings, carried a small bundle, and went directly to the Fan family home with Fan Jingzhu's help.
The Fan family's house was located on the very edge of Qili Village. It consisted of two small, dilapidated rooms, which were on the verge of collapse, but were kept quite tidy.
The large courtyard, covering a full acre, is planted with papayas, coconuts, and various vegetables and flowers, creating a vibrant and lively scene.
A girl with a neat short haircut was already leaning against the door, looking on with longing eyes.
Seeing Gao Dianlan helping the limping Fan Jingzhu from afar, she quickly ran over to greet him.
Upon seeing her brother's bruised and battered face, Fan Jingmei's eyes reddened. "Did Gao Ming beat him up?"
Gao Dianlan frowned slightly. "Jingmei, stop talking. Help your brother into the house to apply the medicine first."
Fan Jingmei took the small bundle from Gao Dianlan and then helped Fan Jingzhu into the house from the other side.
As night fell, Fan Jingzhu slept alone on a makeshift bed on the floor of the main room, while Fan Jingmei and Gao Dianlan slept in the room.
Zhang Lu and Park Young squatted by the back window of the Fan family's house, silently listening from the corner of the wall.
Huge black mosquitoes kept circling around the two of them.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
————
"Quick, give me some floral water, I'm so itchy!"
Zhang Lu snatched the floral water from Park Young's hand and rubbed it all over his arms and face.
"Damn, the mosquitoes in Hainan are terrifying."
Li Xiangdong looked at Park Young's swollen eyes and Zhang Lu's sausage lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Park Young scratched her thigh vigorously, "But if we hadn't eavesdropped, we really wouldn't have known all the ins and outs!"
"Exactly! Who would have thought that Gao Dianlan was just bluffing with Fan Jingzhu? She, she, she slept with Fan Jingmei."
Originally, Du Liang didn't want to pay any attention to these two idiots. They weren't needed for serious business, but they were great at idling around.
Hearing them say that, I still couldn't suppress my curiosity, "Are you two telling the truth? It's normal for sisters-in-law to sleep together!"
Although Fan Jingzhu and Gao Dianlan had slept together, it was out of necessity. They hadn't officially registered their marriage yet, so sleeping separately was to be expected.
"Pshaw! What are you talking about! Fan Jingzhu is just a smokescreen!"
Park Young revealed the inside story: "We two brothers finally understand. Not only is Fan Jingzhu covering for them, but we are also pawns in these two girls' scheme!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Li Xiangdong sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly.
“It was late at night, and when my brother and I looked up, we hoped to see Fan Jingmei and Gao Dianlan kissing…”
"Ahem~ Don't talk nonsense!"
Du Liang interrupted Park Young and glared at him.
Park Young retorted earnestly, "I'm not lying! It's true!"
Li Xiangdong grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and handed them to Du Liang, saying, "Eat! Have some sunflower seeds!"
She gave him another look, as if to say, "Can you please stop interrupting me?"
I'm really enjoying this!
"Cough cough!"
Park Young-qing cleared her throat, "When we saw them doing that, we were both a little confused. I thought to myself, how come Go Dien-ran is into both siblings?!"
He understood it in no time.
After Gao Dianlan and Fan Jingmei had been intimate, they snuggled together.
Fan Jingmei asked Gao Dianlan softly, "Alan, did you bring the household registration booklet?"
Gao Dianlan said, "I brought it out! I listened to you and hid it in my room a long time ago."
"That's good! You and my brother can go get your marriage certificate tomorrow, so we can live together legally."
Gao Dianlan sweetly agreed, but after a while she became a little worried, "Amei, if I marry your brother, what will happen to him in the future?"
"Hey—you don't know, and I've never told you. My brother, he, he likes men."
"ah?"
Gao Dianlan exclaimed in surprise, but fearing that she would disturb Fan Jingzhu who was on the other side of the wall, she quickly covered her mouth.
Zhang Lu and Park Young, who were eavesdropping outside, were also stunned by these words, their mouths agape, and a few black mosquitoes even flew in.
Then they heard Gao Dianlan whisper inside, "So, who does eldest brother like?"
"You know him too, he's the educated youth who came to our village to work in the countryside before."
"But they've already gone back to the city!"
"Yes, my older brother still cares about him."
Then there was another silence.
After a long pause, Gao Dianlan whispered, "Fortunately, we can be together."
"Um."
"Thanks to your planning, you came up with this great idea."
