Zhang Weifang left after he finished speaking, leaving Li Hongqin alone in a daze.

The next morning, everyone went back home, and those who had to go to work went to work. Li Hongqin's matter was basically settled, and everyone decided to let nature take its course and leave it to her own devices.

Three days later, the family gathered at Li's house again. This time they came back for Li Hongqin's marriage.

Li Guifang sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone:

"The kid surnamed Wang is here again today. Hongqin has no objection. Tomorrow, you guys should go to the Wang family to get acquainted with them. If there are no unexpected events, you can just make the appointment!"

That night, everyone slept well except Li Hongqin. Li Hongqin was the only one who stayed awake until dawn, feeling confused about her future.

The next day, except for those who had to go to work, Li Hongqin's elder brother, sister-in-law and Zhang Weifang accompanied Li Hongqin to visit Wang's house.

The two villages are not far from each other and it takes about half an hour to walk there.

On the way, no one was in the mood to talk, even Li Huantang was silent. She really didn't understand her sister-in-law. How blind must she be to fall in love with Wang Chunfeng?

Wang Chunfeng had been waiting at the village entrance since early morning. When he saw Li Hongqin and the others, he immediately greeted them with a smile:

"Brother, sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, Hongqin, you are here, let's go, my house is just ahead."

Pedestrians who were hurrying along the road stopped to ask:

"Chunfeng boy, this is your partner? Not bad, you are so lucky."

"Uncle Ergou, this is Hongqin, and next to her are her brother and sister-in-law."

Along the way, Wang Chunfeng was smiling and greeted everyone he met with a smile. Within five minutes, everyone knew that his girlfriend had arrived.

In fact, generally speaking, before the matter is settled, the most that can be introduced is to relatives, and it will not be announced so widely.

With Wang Chunfeng's introduction, it was equivalent to Li Hongqin being the Wang family's confirmed daughter-in-law.

Li Hongdong's face turned black when he saw Wang Chunfeng's playful and obscene look. Li Gaitang also felt that it was too embarrassing. Others looked at them as if they were laughing at a joke.

Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about the Wang family's situation, but I didn't expect that someone would be so eager to marry into the family. It's amazing.

Zhang Weifang was thick-skinned and walked calmly, pretending nothing had happened. Li Hongqin was embarrassed and awkward. She gently pulled Wang Chunfeng's sleeve:

"Stop talking and go."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Hongqin. You'll get to know these people after you get married. There's no rush, hehe..."

Zhang Weifang rolled her eyes and said nothing. She felt that this task was too difficult. She really didn't understand the idea of ​​being in love. It was so embarrassing, but she didn't expect Li Hongqin to still insist on it.

We soon arrived at Wang's house. The first thing that caught our eyes was the dilapidated door. The wooden door had several cracks in it, and the strong wind blew through it, making a whistling sound like a bellows.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a piece of the door panel fell off. Wang Chunfeng picked up the board and put it aside as if nothing had happened, and greeted them warmly:

"Everyone, come in, it's too cold outside."

The courtyard was not big, with only two dilapidated cave dwellings facing north and south. The stones outside the cave dwellings were tilted and had several cracks. Zhang Weifang looked at the scene in shock.

This cave is a dangerous building. I don’t know if the people sleeping in it are scared every day.

The yard is made of dirt and is not paved with any stones or bricks. If it rains, your shoes will probably get two pounds of mud on them.

Next to the cave dwelling was a wooden shed with smoke coming out of the chimney. It should be the kitchen. There were also many piles of earth and coal dust in the yard, making it impossible to step in.

As soon as they walked in, they heard a "crash" and more than a dozen people came out of the cave, both men and women, dressed in rags, like savages.

The old woman at the front came over, smiled and took Li Hongqin's hand as they walked in, saying:

"Granddaughter-in-law, come in quickly, it's too cold."

Zhang Weifang was so close that he could smell the sour odor from the woman's mouth. Her hands were also pitch black, as if they had not been washed for hundreds of years.

His hair was neither long nor short, and looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. It was obvious that he had cut it casually, and black mud could be seen on his scalp.

Zhang Weifang stepped back in fear. She was now worried about whether there were fleas in the house. The more she thought about it, the scarier it became. She couldn't help but vomit.

"Oh my, sister-in-law Hongqin, are you pregnant? Good news, good news. Let our Xiaoqin share in the joy and try to give birth to a big fat boy for my family next year." A short woman with a wrinkled face walked over.

Zhang Weifang suppressed his nausea, took a deep breath and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Her sister-in-law, I am Hongqin's mother-in-law." She grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth and the smell of cigarettes.

Zhang Weifang couldn't help but retching when she smelled the odor, and Li Gaitang quickly came over to support her:

"Weifang, are you okay?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry."

A group of people followed Wang Chunfeng's mother into the cave on the left. There were no windows in the cave and the room was as dark as night. In order not to take up space, everyone got on the kang.

After adapting to the room for a while, Zhang Weifang could barely see everyone's face clearly. The kang was very big and could sleep 7-8 people. At this time, all the Wang family members were sitting cross-legged on the kang.

The Li family members were too embarrassed to sit down, so the four of them just stood on the ground.

"Xiaoqin, please sit down and don't be polite. These are all your family. Look, this is your grandparents, this is your second and third brother, and that is your second and third uncles."

Wang Chunfeng's mother Wang Ni began to take Li Hongqin to introduce her family members. There were more men than women in this family. Except for Wang Ni and her husband and Wang Chunfeng's grandparents, everyone else was single.

The only girls there were Wang Chunfeng's two younger sisters, who looked to be in their early teens, but they didn't have the innocence of a child on their faces, and they looked carefree.

"Aunt, are all the family members here?" Zhang Weifang asked.

"Yes, my family is big and has more than a dozen people. It will be even better if Hongqin comes."

"Haha, that's good." Zhang Weifang really wanted to turn around and leave. This was a den of wolves. She didn't know if Hongqin would be assimilated after marrying in.

Forget it, since it’s not her who’s getting married, she can’t care so much. She’d better leave early. If there really are lice, she’ll cry to death.

Thinking of this, Zhang Weifang and his elder brother and sister-in-law looked at each other. The three of them had the same look and wanted to go home quickly.

Li Hongdong didn't care about being polite now. He pretended to cough twice before saying:

"Hongqin, we've already met the person. Why don't we go back first?"

"Hey? Her elder brother, you can't leave. It's your first time here, how can you go back without eating? Go, Chuncao, bring the food."

Wang Chuncao is Wang Chunfeng's younger sister. She is 13 years old this year. She has never been to school and is also a gangster.

When she heard her mother asking her to serve the meal, she went out in her straw sandals.
