Chapter 168 Xu Lai Di agrees

"What kind of heirloom is this? It's so mysterious. Do you think it could be a gold ring or something like that?"

The old ladies were very curious, but since it was someone else's stuff, they could only ask around, and of course Old Lady Liu would never tell them.

Some people were disdainful: "Why do you do those fancy things? If you really have a valuable heirloom, can you live in such poverty now?"

Song Wei thought so too, and she felt that Xu Laidi was probably going to be cheated.

But even though she thought so in her heart, she wouldn't remind him.

"This educated young lady Xu is really going to marry the old bachelor Liu. That guy is ugly, and most importantly, he is not good-looking. Not only that, but his family is also poor and lazy. Even widows don't want to be with him."

The widows here mainly refer to those who are restless.

"Who else can she marry? They kissed in front of so many people. What kind of man can Xu Zhiqing expect to marry in the future?"

"This is called that thing, what's the word for it?"

The old ladies all looked at Song Wei, the only educated person in their group.

Song Wei: "You deserve what you sow. You will suffer the consequences if you commit evil."

"Yes, that's what I meant. She was the one who plotted against Comrade Song first. She deserves it!"

They really have no sympathy at all.

Song Wei and the old ladies were sitting in the yard eating nuts. Gao Le, Zhao Su and others also came over with benches.

I also brought a lot of melon seeds.

Everyone grabbed a handful and saw Su Fang coming out of the room, calling her to come over.

Su Fang's appearance attracted the attention of the crowd.

After all, this person has been the gossip celebrity in the village in recent times.

The enthusiastic old ladies pulled her hands and said, "Look how thin you are. The Luo family is really nothing."

"Of course not. If my daughter and granddaughter were to be tortured like this, even if I lose all my teeth, I will carry a hoe and bring my family, young and old, to seek justice!"

"Poor child, why didn't your parents come to see you? How could they be so cruel?"

Su Fang lowered her eyes to hide the sneer in them.

Daddy and Mommy...

She was the neglected and unloved one at home, and because of that, when there were four other children in the family who were all suitable to go to the countryside, she was abandoned without hesitation.

When she was in such a difficult situation, she wrote to her family for help.

But what he finally got was a newspaper.

The newspaper published the news that her family had severed ties with her.

Moreover, her father even wrote a letter to scold her, saying that she was shameless and had no self-respect, and that she had brought shame to the Su family, etc.

That newspaper and that letter completely crushed all her hopes, and finally in numbness and despair she compromised and married Luo Dazhuang.

Although Su Fang's character is rather timid and quiet, she was able to persist for a long time without compromising in the face of so many unbearable rumors, which shows that she still has a tough side.

But no matter how strong one's character is, it cannot withstand the pain and despair of being disowned by relatives and being insulted in letters.

"They, they're dead."

Su Fang said this calmly, but there was a dead silence in her eyes.

In her heart, she no longer has any family.

The educated youth came from all over the country, and no one knew what the situation was like at Sufang's home.

So when she said that, everyone believed it, except Song Wei.

But she wouldn't ask any further questions.

"Su Zhiqing, do you know what's going on inside?"

The old ladies had gossipy looks in their eyes. If there weren't so many people in the Youth League House, they would have wanted to lean over to take a look and eavesdrop.

Su Fang: "I came out as soon as they went in, but when I left, I vaguely heard Liu Dakang's mother say that she wanted to give Dajian as a betrothal gift."

Big stuff! "No way, that's a big thing, how can their family afford such a big thing?!"

The four most popular items for weddings nowadays are radios, bicycles, sewing machines and watches.

The cheapest of these items costs over a hundred yuan, and tickets are in short supply.

I'm afraid there are no tickets for these things on the black market here.

As a result, Aunt Liu opened her mouth and said that she wanted to give a big item as a betrothal gift. How bold! "My goodness, it can't be that she really has a valuable heirloom."

Song Wei was cracking melon seeds: "Just wait and see, we'll know soon if they really decide to get married."

Liu Laoniang, her son and Xu Laidi came out. All three of them had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that both sides were very satisfied with the conversation.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Especially Xu Laidi, there was no trace of the previous grievance and frustration on her face. She held Liu Laoniang's arm and treated her as her own mother.

The onlookers who were joining in the fun looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking, no way, it can't be that it will happen so quickly.

As if to cater to their thoughts, Mrs. Liu said cheerfully: "My son and Xu Zhiqing are getting married at the end of this month, everyone come and support them."

The people around were immediately shocked: "Is this true? Is Xu Zhiqing really going to marry the bachelor Liu?"

"They are attracted to each other? Is that impossible?"

It wasn't intentional on their part, but Old Bachelor Liu was really sloppy-looking and lazy.

Tsk tsk…

I really didn't expect that Xu Zhiqing agreed so quickly.

"This is even worse than Su Zhiqing. Su Zhiqing was unwilling to do it before, but he was forced into that situation and finally agreed."

"Look at Xu Zhiqing's smiling face. Could it be that he really has a family heirloom?"

"Even if there is an heirloom, it's not yours."

Everyone was curious and guessed what the heirloom was.

In fact, Xu Lai Di didn’t know either, because it hasn’t been opened yet.

But Liu's mother said that if she married Liu Dakang, she would take her to buy a watch.

Also give a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan.

She didn't believe it at first, but Grandma Liu said that she only had this one son and she definitely wanted the best for him. Their family was poor only because they didn't show off their wealth. All the real big money was hidden by her.

Liu Laonian said that they also came from a wealthy family before they fled here to escape famine. In short, her story sounded very convincing. Xu Laidie was dazzled by the watch and the hundred yuan betrothal money, and finally nodded in agreement.

The little bit of extravagant hope for Song Jing was also filled with watches and betrothal money.

In fact, Song Jing is only a company commander now. If he wants to join the army, he must be at least a deputy battalion commander. Even if she and Song Jing are successful now, it will take several years to wait.

Since she can't join the army, she has to stay in the Youth League Home. What's the difference between this and being a widow? She might even be bullied by that lunatic Song Wei.

After comforting herself, Xu Laidi completely accepted Liu Laoniang's arrangement.

There were so many people in the yard watching her, and Xu Lai Di wanted to tell them about the Liu family's plan to give her a watch and a betrothal gift to show off, but when she thought of what Liu's mother said, since things hadn't happened yet, these people would definitely not believe her just because she said it. It would be better for her to show off after she bought it.

So she suppressed the pride in her heart and didn't show it off.

Old Lady Liu looked at her with a smile, patted her hands, and left with her son.
