Lu Xiaodi's face immediately fell.
If the eldest brother knew that his mother had arranged such a marriage for him, the bride's dowry money would also be coveted.
Will they just skin him alive?
"Mother, why don't you reconsider this matter? My eldest brother might not be willing."
Chen Ximei looked at her youngest son, put her hands on her hips, and started to scold him.
"Look at you, so pathetic! When did you become so afraid of him? You're the only male in the family now; of course he'll have to curry favor with you if he wants to come back. What are you afraid of!"
"Besides, as long as he calls me 'Mother,' he has to listen to me."
"Third sister, it's settled then. Go back tomorrow and tell your captain about it."
Chen Xigui nodded.
I didn't expect it to be so easy. My husband will definitely be able to become the scorekeeper.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
Lu Xiaomei sat next to him, staring intently at the white steamed bun in Lu Xiaodi's hand, her mouth watering.
Young Master Lu naturally saw it.
When Lu Xiaomei saw him turn his head, she put on a pitiful expression.
Brother Lu was incredibly annoyed; all he did all day was scheme to get his food.
If anything happens to him one day, this little girl will definitely be the first to come up and drink his blood.
The eldest brother is still the most reliable.
With that thought in mind, Lu Xiaodi decisively turned his head and buried himself in his food.
Soon only one steamed bun remained on the plate; Lu Xiaodi was so full he couldn't eat anymore.
Lu Xiaomei's eyes showed anticipation.
Chen Ximei pretended not to see it.
They locked up the last steamed bun.
Only Lu Xiaodi in the family can afford to eat white flour, even though the family is now broke.
He should still be given the best food.
Before, at least Lu Xiaomei had cornbread, but now she has nothing. She can only drink a little wild vegetable soup every day.
Looking at the bowls and chopsticks in front of me, and the pile of dirty clothes next to them.
Lu Xiaomei was very dissatisfied.
They're all their mother's children, so why does the second brother get to eat and drink well while she has to work hard and still not have enough to eat?
This is completely unfair!
This is clearly the eldest brother's fault; he's the one who caused it!
If he hadn't separated from the family, he would be the one doing all this now.
If he hadn't been injured and hadn't retired from the military, his family's situation would definitely be much better now.
It's all his fault! It's all his fault!
She treated the clothes as if they were Lu Xiangze, and punched them hard.
The noise was so loud that Chen Ximei couldn't sleep, so she yelled, "Keep it down!"
Lu Xiaomei had to lower her voice, and tears fell into the basin of water.
The moon in the sky, however, is getting rounder and rounder.
The stars were clearly visible.
Tomorrow will be a bright and sunny day.
Su Qiao looked at the stars in the night sky and said to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.
It was a bit hot at night, and Su Qiao saw how beautiful the night sky was. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she simply moved a chair and sat in the yard to look at the stars.
Su Qiao looked at the starry sky, filled with emotion.
She had never seen such a beautiful starry sky before.
[Warning! Host is slacking off; electric shock punishment will be activated soon. 5,4,3,2,1.]
Su Qiao did not hear Dong Yiyi's voice until the system countdown was completed.
These days, I haven't seen her at all.
They seem to have calmed down a lot.
The next second.
A figure emerged from the neighboring courtyard of the educated youth.
It looked like a black ghost.
The black mass continued to move towards Su Qiao.
Little White perked up its ears and heard the noise.
It circled around Su Qiao several times with the barrage of "[Intrusion!]" displayed on the screen.
The shadowy figure had already approached.
The comments on Xiaobai's head have changed to: 【Dangerful allergen Dong Yiyi.】
Su Qiao listened as Dong Yiyi walked around the courtyard, stopping and starting, but did not come in.
They went straight back to the educated youth settlement.
Everyone has left.
Su Qiao told Xiao Bai to jump out and take a look.
Xiao Bai immediately noticed that a small jar had been buried in each of the four corners of the wall. Moreover, the jars were decorated with rose patterns.
It looks very exquisite, yet it has a somewhat eerie feel to it.
Su Qiao glanced at it and felt a chill run down her spine.
Xiao Bai suddenly sensed another opportunity to upgrade.
I think I can access the energy inside. I just need to go into a deep sleep for a while.
Su Qiao naturally agreed.
Little White transformed into a cloud of white mist, enveloping the several jars.
They disappeared from the spot.
Su Qiao noticed that the planting area in the space seemed to have slowed down considerably.
Fortunately, these factors do not affect the use of space or the preservation of food.
For some reason, Su Qiao couldn't sleep soundly in the latter half of the night.
I almost couldn't get up the next morning.
It just felt like my double eyelids were glued together.
She got out of bed entirely by willpower.
As I was leaving, I saw Dong Yiyi walking out.
But her face seemed to have become more refined again.
Their eyes met, sparks flying.
When Dong Yiyi saw the dark circles under Su Qiao's eyes, she thought that things had already succeeded.
A smile appeared on his face.
He said silently, "There's plenty of time in the future."
System, look, I did it!
But this time, the system did not respond.
Su Qiao used to occasionally hear the system and Dong Yiyi talking, but after the changes, the system seems to have appeared very rarely.
Unless a task is issued.
However, Dong Yiyi didn't seem to notice.
Still immersed in the joy of their impending victory.
Su Qiao actually discovered that the system voices she could hear seemed to be limited.
Something happened, and Dong Yiyi was involved.
Su Qiao had never heard of it.
Dong Yiyi stood at the door waiting for someone, her heart bursting with laughter, but her face remained calm and composed.
Su Qiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at her expression.
She took out a silk scarf and covered her face, then fanned the air with a look of disgust.
"Su Zhiqing, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? Let's go quickly." Yao Qing's lively voice came, and for no reason, it made everyone feel much better.
After falling into the water last time, Yao Qing was in a daze for a day, but fortunately she quickly recovered.
She and Pei Xingzhi have started dating.
The two have already written back.
If both sets of parents agree, we should be able to attend the wedding banquet in about two months.
The educated youth compound has now split into three factions.
Song Jinzhao and Pei Xingzhi were on one team, Yao Qing, Li Yanhong and Su Qiao were on the other, and Wang Zhihua and Dong Yiyi were on the same team.
Because of the relationship between Pei Xingzhi and Yao Qing, the former two had a better relationship.
This made it seem as if Dong Yiyi and her group were isolated.
Dong Yiyi didn't care and kept saying in her mind that it would be ready soon.
Yesterday, she didn't know what the jar was, but now she roughly knows.
It's probably some kind of tool that will make her die quickly.
Several days passed peacefully.
The Shimizu Brigade was extremely calm.
Dong Yiyi waited every day for the "good news" from next door.
But things haven't gone as planned for a long time.
She paced anxiously in the yard, and all of this was extremely irritating to Wang Zhihua.
These are all proof that Dong Yiyi likes that pretty boy.
Dong Yiyi was completely unaware.
Not far away, Pei Xingzhi quietly watched the two of them.
A certain emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and turned to leave.
