An Hongdou died, but then she came back to life, bringing a spatial dimension filled with billions of supplies as she transmigrated to the 1970s, becoming a dark-skinned, chubby, ugly country bumpk...
"Fourth brother is not sad about this." He and Zhao Yun had only met a few times, so it was not the case that they had any deep feelings for each other. "I just feel that I am quite stupid and always make mom worry about me."
Mrs. An was quite satisfied with Zhao Yun. She gave him a betrothal gift of 20 yuan, plus cigarettes, alcohol and candy for the engagement. She also bought cloth for Zhao Yun to make clothes, and now she was preparing new quilts for them. Seeing that the marriage was about to be cancelled at this point, he couldn't tell how he felt.
Along the way, when An Honglin met villagers who greeted him, he just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Fortunately, the things in the car were covered with a torn quilt brought from home. Many people knew that An Honglin was going to pick up Ergouzi today, and no one thought there was anything wrong.
When they got home, Mrs. An rushed out first and looked at Fourth Brother An with a complaint, "Didn't I tell you two to take the things to your second uncle's house first? Why did you bring them back so openly?"
An Hongdou curled her lips and said, "Mom, we ran into Zhao Yun in town."
Mrs. An even blamed her, "You are so disrespectful. She is your future sister-in-law. Even if she hasn't married yet, you should still call her sister. How can you call her by her name?"
An Hongdou quickly pulled Old Lady An and winked at her, "Mom, let's go inside first and talk."
Mrs. An was busy getting something. "We have to throw the things into the house first."
My brothers were busy building the house, and my sisters-in-law were not at home. They said they had gone out with the fishing reel to chat with someone.
After moving all the things into the house, Mrs. An came to the main hall and sat down and asked them, "Tell me, what happened?"
An Honglin stammered and spoke a few words in a disjointed manner about the scene where Zhao Yun was pulling, hugging and embracing a man, but he was too embarrassed to say some of the words out loud.
An Hongdou couldn't stand it anymore, so she just went up and chattered away, telling the general story.
Old Lady An slapped her thigh in anger, "What? That little bitch Zhao Yun, she could do such a thing, it's shameful, no, I have to go find your second aunt, we absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing, and you still want to break off the engagement peacefully, no way, I won't let her down if I don't spread her scandal all over the place!"
This marriage was arranged by Miao Hong. She was a girl from her hometown and was praised to the highest degree possible. Otherwise, Mrs. An would not have been so satisfied. In that era when everyone was broke, she would have directly given a betrothal gift of 20 yuan.
Mrs. An said this and was about to go out.
It is absolutely intolerable to face a woman who has cheated on her son.
"Mom!" Fourth Brother An called her hurriedly.
After Mrs. An stopped walking, he spoke helplessly, "Mom, as long as their family agrees to cancel the engagement, let's forget about it. There's no need to make a fuss and let everyone know."
"What's the matter? You're not still having desires for that little bitch, are you?" Looking at Old Lady An's attitude, if he dared to answer yes, she would definitely break his legs.
Fourth Brother An's face darkened, "No, I just feel ashamed and embarrassed."
After saying this, Fourth Brother An sat down on the bench, looking like an honest man.
He hadn't said anything more. Even if they couldn't be husband and wife, if you thought about it carefully, they didn't have any deep hatred.
If this matter gets out, Zhao Yun will be paraded through the streets.
This is too cruel for a woman.
Old Mrs. An believed what Fourth Brother An said. For a man, whether he likes it or not, it is indeed too shameful for his fiancée to run away with someone else.
"Mom knows what to do about this. Don't worry about it. There's no need to be sad. There are many good girls in this world, not just Zhao Yun." Old Mrs. An was still angry, but she felt a little more sad than before. Looking at her honest fourth son, she felt that he had a miserable life.
At the same time, he secretly hated Zhao Yun in his heart.
Fourth Brother An stood up and said, "I'll go to the new house to see if there's anything I can do to help."
An Hongdou sighed and said, "You just came back from town. You must be tired after driving all the way. Besides, it's already this late. Big brother and the others will be back soon. You should just rest at home for a while."
"That's fine." Brother An didn't say anything, but his hands were busy. He turned around and took out the machete, saying, "Then I'll go to the bamboo forest and cut some bamboo. We also bought two thermos liners, so I'll make two outer covers while I have time."
An Hongdou didn't stop him this time.
I know he is feeling depressed. If he sits here with nothing to do, he might even have all kinds of thoughts in his mind. It would be good for him to be busy. He will forget about his sadness when he is busy.
Old Mrs. An walked out of the door at great speed, wishing she could go to Andelai's house immediately.
After arriving, he rushed into the house anxiously, "Miao Hong, are you home?"
"I'm here." Miao Hong responded, quickly put down the work in her hands, and hurried out, "Sister-in-law, you look so anxious, what's the matter?"
"The fourth son's marriage is off." Old Mrs. An said angrily.
Miao Hong didn't know the specific reason yet, so she quickly led Mrs. An into the house and asked, "What's going on? You're about to get married, why did you cancel it so easily? The last time I went back to my parents' home, Zhao Yun's mother told me that your family is generous and they can't be stingy. During this period, the whole family has been busy preparing tables and cabinets for the children's dowry. Sister-in-law, you can't cause trouble for me at this time, otherwise I won't be ashamed to go back to my parents' home in the future."
Mrs. An glared at her angrily, "I'm looking for trouble? Why don't you ask what shameful thing Zhao Yun did?"
"What's going on?" Miao Yun asked quickly when he heard that something was wrong.
"I asked Lao Si and Hong Dou to go to the town to pick up Er Gouzi today. We ran into Zhao Yun not far from the hospital..." Mrs. An talked about these bad things one by one. As she talked, she became angry again and even blamed Miao Hong. "You are the same. We have been like sisters for so many years. My sisters and I are not as close to you as you are. You asked you to find a wife for my Lao Si, but you told us such a thing. My Lao Si's forehead is green. This child is honest to begin with, and he is even more hurt. He has not said a word since he came home. If it were according to what I thought, I would have to tell the matter to the couple and make their whole family unable to see anyone. But you don't know about my Lao Si? This child is kind-hearted and doesn't allow me to make trouble. He said that since Zhao Yun is not interested, then the marriage should be cancelled."
