She felt bad, but Yang Dahua quickly put on a smile: "No, no, I didn't look at her. This girl is just telling lies. By the way, Zhentang, you also know that Xiaoli has wanted a red coat for years. Originally, I wanted to ask your grandmother to give this one to Xiaoli, but she was reluctant to give it to her. Now the coat has been worn by Miss Tian. Then why don't you bring one back for Xiaoli during the New Year? Haha, a girl likes to be beautiful, don't you think?"

I said it, but I was thinking...

After Shi Zhentang returns to the army, she will deal with this fool. Anyway, no one in the Shi family will dare to stop her by then.

It turns out that Shi Xiaoli also wants this coat?

Tian Yuzhu couldn't help but look at the red coat on herself, then looked at Yang Dahua.

Only then did she realize that she was wearing a good jacket, while the one Yang Dahua was wearing was full of patches. It showed how hard life was in those days. No wonder Yang Dahua looked like she wanted to eat her alive!

Shi Zhentang beside him had a cold look on his face.

It’s not that he was reluctant to buy a new coat for Shi Xiaoli. After all, they were born to the same father. He just hated Yang Dahua’s greed.

Yang Dahua has never been nice to him since he was a child.

Ever since he joined the army, he asked Shi Zhentang to send thirty yuan home every month, using the excuse that your younger brothers and sisters needed money, and your grandmother and your father also needed money.

Thirty dollars is not a small amount, accounting for almost three-quarters of the monthly military expenditure.

Shi Zhentang endured it all the time, mainly because he wanted to let his grandmother spend a few days in peace and quiet in her later years.

But his patience has its limits.

"As Xiaoli's mother, you should be the one worrying about her coat. If I remember correctly, I sent thirty yuan home a few days ago. Why didn't you receive the money?"

You can find out whether it has been received or not by going to the commune to check.

Yang Dahua was so frightened that she was stunned. She didn't dare to continue talking about this topic. If she continued, she would reveal that she deducted five dollars from the old lady every month.

She thought about it and quickly put on a smile: "Zhentang, I just said this because I see that you love your sister. Don't take it to heart. Come back early for the New Year. Didn't you promise to marry the girl from the Tian family last night? Then come back and marry her quickly."

There is a hint of gloating in these words. Aren't you going to take on this burden? If you marry a fool, I wonder how you will live in the future.

"Second brother, you have to think this through carefully. I don't think she's worthy of you at all. At worst, you can just send her back to the Tian family. If you don't want to marry her, then don't marry her. You can't ruin your life... Ouch!"

Shi Xiaoli, who came out with cotton boots, happened to hear her mother talking about marrying Tian Yuzhu, so she quickly said a few more words, but before she could finish her words, Yang Dahua pinched her waist.

Is it stupid or not? Is it necessary to use her to persuade?

Shi Xiaoli, who was pinched, finally shut her mouth and looked at Yang Dahua in complete confusion.

How could Shi Zhentang fail to notice this little gesture from the mother and daughter? He couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "It's a human's duty to repay a favor. Otherwise, since it's inconvenient for me to be in the army and I send you thirty yuan every month, would you let Weiqiang take my place?"

"What are you talking about?"

When Yang Dahua heard that his third son Shi Weiqiang was going to marry Tian Yuzhu for him, he was so frightened that his voice rose several degrees: "Zhentang, we are not allowed to make such jokes. The girl from the Tian family was arranged for you by your father as a child. No one can replace her. Besides, Weiqiang is still young!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that this matter would be forced upon Shi Weiqiang, so he quickly pulled Shi Xiaoli back to the house.

Tian Yuzhu was not idle here. On the surface, she was looking around at the snow scenery, but in fact she was listening to every word of their conversation.

He also seized the opportunity, rushed forward, snatched the cotton boots from Shi Xiaoli's arms, took off his tattered cloth shoes, and put the cotton boots on his feet.

There were many frostbite wounds on her small and slender feet, and she was shivering in pain.

Shi Zhentang watched Yang Dahua's mother go back to the courtyard twice with cold eyes. He turned around and saw Tian Yuzhu putting on her boots: "..."

She was bent over, unable to stand steadily, and staggered as she tried to put her feet into the cotton boots with her frail figure.

He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Suddenly her body felt lighter and Tian Yuzhu found herself being held in the man's strong arms.

Well! ! !

She had never experienced such a thing in her previous life!

Because it was so sudden, she was so frightened that her eyes were straight and her body was stiff. She could not move her hands or feet. She let Shi Zhentang put her on a stone that had been swept of snow and sat her down.

Then he bent his feet, took them out of his military boots, took off his socks and put them on her feet.

His feet are big, but her feet are small.

Men's socks that big can naturally be pulled up very high, but they will touch the skin on the calf, so after pulling them up, Shi Zhentang stopped very gentlemanly, and just held her feet with his big hands to put on the cotton boots for her.

He never even glanced at her, and said coldly, "Don't take off your socks. Wear them to sleep at night to keep warm."

Ahhh, this... is fatal!

His socks still carried his warm body temperature. In her sight, she could see the man's thick sword-like eyebrows and sharp nose as he lowered his head. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and the whole process looked serious, solemn, cold and handsome.

Tian Yuzhu suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken several beats.

In her previous life, she was cold and arrogant, and no one dared to pursue her. Until her death, she had never been treated so gently by anyone.

This feeling now is both strange and exciting, and even my cheeks begin to feel hot involuntarily.

His face must have turned red. In order to continue playing the fool and avoid being exposed, Tian Yuzhu immediately turned his head and scooped up a handful of snow from the branches, and buried his whole face in it.

Hearing the noise, Shi Zhentang raised his eyes and saw Zhang's little face covered with snow: "..."

This scene shocked the aunts and uncles who were peeking in from a distance!

The men in the family all go out to work, and the women in every household have nothing to do, so they come to see the fun in the Shi family.

I was watching secretly at first, and was very surprised to see Shi Zhentang putting shoes on the silly girl. I didn't expect to see what the silly girl did next, burying the snow in her face?

All the women in the village immediately had a big question mark in their heads: "..."

"Tsk tsk, the Shi family is finished this time. What a fool."

"What a pity! Zhentang is handsome and capable, and he's also our most respected soldier. What a pity!"

"Tsk, what a sin!"

One aunt even came over and said, "Zhentang, I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, you can't have this silly girl. Listen to me, we'll send her back to the Tian family after the heavy snow. If you're embarrassed, that's fine, I'll let your uncle and your father take her. In any case, you absolutely cannot have her."

"That's right, kid. If you don't listen to the old people, you'll suffer the consequences. You have a bright future ahead of you. Let's not let this silly girl ruin it."

"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll find you the best wife. She's guaranteed to be prettier than that silly girl, and most importantly, smart. She'll definitely not throw snow in your face."

Everyone was talking at once and was worried sick, and no matter what they said, there was no way this marriage would be successful.

After all, it's pitiful to see Shi Zhentang carrying such a big burden!
