“…”
Bai Ying frowned when she heard this.
Whoever pays more gift can marry her?
Old Lady Bai's words made Bai Ying feel like she was a commodity waiting to be sold. If she answered honestly, wouldn't that just confirm her assumption? Besides, with her personality, she wouldn't be as ostentatious as Qiao Xiaoling.
Even if she really told Chen Ao that he would give her 300 yuan as a betrothal gift, she would probably pester Old Lady Bai until her death. Not only would she not be able to slap Old Lady Bai in the face, but she would also get herself into trouble.
"The idiot's family wanted to marry Dr. Bai and offered a 100-yuan gift. How much should the prisoner offer?"
"Tsk! How much money do prisoners on a farm have? It's good enough that Dr. Bai doesn't subsidize them."
"Hey, tell me, why did Doctor Bai fall for such a person? Marrying Li Guanggun, the village head who has been single for forty years, is better than marrying a labor camp inmate!"
Just as everyone was sighing and lamenting, a car horn was heard at the entrance of the village.
Turning around, I saw a military green jeep driving into Liushu Village.
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted. "It's a military vehicle! Could they be distributing relief food?"
"This car can't hold the relief food."
"Then what is it here for?"
"Looking for someone? I remember this car came to take Dr. Bai home yesterday. Is this Dr. Bai's girlfriend?"
"So Dr. Bai is really getting married, and the man she's marrying isn't a prisoner, but a soldier!"
…
All of a sudden, everyone's fiery gazes fell on Bai Ying again, making her feel goosebumps all over.
Can she say that everyone has recognized the wrong person?
Her husband is not Zhao Dayong, but Shen Ao from the farm...
As they were discussing, a jeep had already driven up to them. Zhao Dayong and a soldier got out of the jeep and greeted everyone familiarly, "Hey! Comrades are all here."
Secretary Liu stepped forward and said, "Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, are you here to...?"
Zhao Dayong smiled brightly and pointed at the sewing machines and other items piled up in the car, "I'm here to give Dr. Bai a betrothal gift!"
"What?!"
The members cried out in surprise, even more shocked than when they learned the gossip that Bai Ying was not Bai's biological daughter.
If they weren't blind, they would have thought that there were brand new sewing machines, bicycles, and tape recorders on the back seat of the jeep, right?
Aren't these the popular betrothal gifts among city dwellers, the 'three turns and one ring'? They cost six or seven hundred yuan, and this person was so generous as to give them to me!
It seems that what Bai Ying said before about her military marriage was true. Otherwise, who else could come up with such a large sum of money?
Bai Ying was also slightly surprised.
It turned out that Chen Ao was not bragging before. He was really planning their wedding seriously and she had everything she needed for the wedding.
Although Shen Ao couldn't leave the farm, he managed to do everything...
For some reason, Bai Ying felt warm in her heart and suddenly wanted to see Shen Ao.
Secretary Liu quickly recovered and shook hands with Zhao Dayong with a smile. "So, comrade, you are Doctor Bai's ideal partner? It's Doctor Bai's blessing to have found such an outstanding partner like you. I wish you all the best..."
Zhao Dayong's expression twisted, fearing that Secretary Liu would say something outrageous. He quickly interrupted, "Stop! I'm just an errand boy. Doctor Bai's husband is someone else."
"Who is it?"
Everyone's heart was like a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low, and they were completely confused.
Zhao Dayong smiled proudly, "Shen Ao from Rising Sun Farm!"
Haha, tremble! Come and know how powerful the leader is!
He had no intention of keeping a low profile at all, and I believe the leader was the same. After all, with such an excellent partner like Dr. Bai, he couldn't keep a low profile at all!
If we keep a low profile any longer, won’t the leader’s wife be abducted away?
As a qualified guard, he must of course take care of this matter for the chief, and announce the chief and his wife's marriage to the world in a grand manner, to see who dares to harass the chief's wife in the future.
Everyone: “…”
It’s fake, it must be fake.
How could a convict on a farm have such great power? Not only did he have money, but he also had connections to ask an officer to send the bride price.
They remembered that they had previously laughed at Bai Ying for falling for prisoners, and suddenly those words turned into countless slaps in the face, beating them till they were disheveled in the wind.
"No! Impossible?"
Zhao Dayong's words just now were like a cannonball, causing a huge wave in the crowd.
Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that the bad guys on the farm could actually afford three turns and one ring as a betrothal gift!
Secretary Liu remembered that he had just mistaken Zhao Dayong for Bai Ying's boyfriend and felt embarrassed. "Comrade PLA, are you kidding me? How could Doctor Bai's boyfriend be Shen Ao from the Rising Sun Farm? He's clearly a bad guy..."
"What did you say!"
Zhao Dayong's expression suddenly turned cold. "Comrade Chen Ao is a soldier. He has been on the battlefield to defend his country. Even if his thoughts went astray for a moment, his contributions cannot be erased. You cannot define him!"
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu realized something.
What this means is that Shen Ao has a prominent background, and it sounds like Shen Ao's case will be vindicated?
Secretary Liu was a cadre after all, and he knew that the winds at the top had been shifting around a lot recently, and things were no longer as strict as before. With people on the farm getting their rights rehabilitated one after another, it was possible that Shen Ao would rise again one day...
Thinking of this, Secretary Liu secretly made up his mind that in the future, not only must he not provoke Chen Ao, but he must also protect him and help him when he is in a bad situation. He might remember his favor in the future.
