Meng Yingxin couldn't hear what was said after that. Her world seemed to be spinning, and she had no strength in her legs. She slowly fell down, holding onto the table.
It's Qiao Shouyan, it's definitely Qiao Shouyan!
Although the names weren't mentioned, the family details matched perfectly...
Qiao Shouyan is injured?!
No wonder, she said that after waiting for so long, there was no way Qiao Shouyan wouldn't come to find her. He clearly knew what she wanted to say when she asked him out!
"Is he... is he seriously injured?" Meng Yingxin asked, her teeth chattering, her whole body weak and powerless.
"It's serious. I heard he's in a vegetative state and hasn't woken up yet..."
Meng Yingxin's vision went black, and she fainted.
When she woke up again, she seemed to have lost all her vitality.
Qiao Shouyan has become a vegetable?
She dared not think about it.
How could this be? How could this be?
Clearly, he was perfectly fine when they last met. How could someone as capable and outstanding as him allow himself to be injured so severely?
Meng Yingxin couldn't believe it, but she couldn't find anyone to talk to because Qiao Shouyan hadn't had a chance to formally introduce her to his family.
Should we secretly go and meet them?
Meng Yingxin guessed that Qiao Shouyan was probably staying in a ward at the military hospital. She thought it would be okay for her to visit him as a comrade-in-arms.
But the thought of facing Qiao Shouyan like that made her so uncomfortable that she couldn't get out of bed.
After drifting aimlessly for several days, Meng Yingxin felt she couldn't continue like this. She decided to first visit the places where she and Qiao Shouyan had previously gone on dates, and then go directly to the Qiao family home.
Even if Qiao Shouyan becomes a vegetable, as long as he has a breath left, she will stay with him. At this moment, he must need someone to take care of him, right?
Meng Yingxin was willing to stand up because she would never accept anyone else in her life except Qiao Shouyan.
And so, Meng Yingxin walked slowly alone in the park where they had once gone on dates...
She and Qiao Shouyan sat on this bench together. What did they eat then? It seems like she brought steamed buns and pickled vegetables from home...
There used to be small boats on this lake. The first time she and Qiao Shouyan rowed a boat, they almost capsized it, perhaps because they were nervous...
Everywhere she went, every time a young person passed by, Meng Yingxin seemed to see them walking together...
"Qiao Shouyan, how could you break your promise?" Meng Yingxin's eyes reddened again.
These past few days, she's cried so much that her tears have almost dried up.
However, just as Meng Yingxin was about to leave, a man rushed out and, without saying a word, knocked her unconscious with a stick.
The moment Meng Yingxin closed her eyes and fell, she seemed to see the face of a demon.
When I woke up again, I was in excruciating pain in my head and neck.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the woodshed that she had once known so well, a place that Meng Yingxin could never forget.
She was trembling all over, never expecting that she would be caught again.
"Let go of me!" Meng Yingxin struggled desperately, shouting and yelling.
"Awake?" Meng Chengfu walked in.
After his plans were ruined by Qiao Shouyan and his comrades, Meng Chengfu returned home to be scolded and complained about by his parents and wife. He also had to painfully send back the 888 yuan dowry. The family was angry for a long time, but they did not give up.
Later, I learned by surprise that Meng Yingxin had actually joined the army again. Although she still wanted to make a move, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Until recently, when Meng Chengfu spotted Meng Yingxin strolling around in the park, he felt that his opportunity had arrived.
"You rascal, you really know how to hide! Where's that officer who's always with you?" Meng Chengfu asked.
They had discussed it and agreed that if the officer was willing to marry Meng Yingxin, that would be fine, as long as the bride price was in place. They didn't care whether Meng Yingxin married a young officer or the old man next door; what mattered to them was the amount of the bride price.
"What does this have to do with you?" Meng Yingxin retorted, glaring at Meng Chengfu with eyes full of hatred.
Mentioning Qiao Shouyan at this time will only make Meng Yingxin hate this family of bloodsuckers even more.
"You think you're so great?!" Meng Chengfu was displeased and slapped her hard, breaking Meng Yingxin's lip and drawing blood.
Meng Yingxin licked the wound in her mouth; the taste of blood made her even more alert.
"Let me go! I'm a soldier. What you're doing is illegal, and the military will never let you get away with this!" Meng Yingxin said.
“Heh…” Meng Chengfu laughed and slapped him again.
"Smack—"
This slap was harder than the last one.
Meng Yingxin's fair cheeks quickly became red and swollen.
But at this moment, Meng Yingxin's eyes were not filled with fear, but with anger and hatred.
"You're threatening me now? Ha! I don't care if you're a soldier or the Heavenly King, you're a member of the Meng family! Damn it, it's only right that we get the bride price when you get married. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, I'm not wrong! Since you won't tell me where that officer is, fine, I'll go ask Old Man Liu again. If Old Man Liu thinks you're no good, I'll find Old Man Wang or Old Man Zhang. In short... you have to get married!"
Meng Chengfu stepped on Meng Yingxin's leg and laughed unrestrainedly.
"I won't marry him! Meng Chengfu, I'm telling you, I will not marry this old man to get dowry money from you, absolutely not!" Meng Yingxin said.
"It's not up to you!" With that, Meng Chengfu left.
This time, we must learn from the lessons of last time.
“Mom and Dad, I think it’s safer to give her some medicine. If that doesn’t work… get her some aphrodisiacs and have her sleep with a man. Once it’s done, she won’t be able to back out!” Meng Chengfu said.
Pan Wenfang thought it was feasible, after all, it was such a pity that Old Man Liu had already given money last time.
“Okay, go get the medicine.” Meng Demao nodded.
Wu Xiulan overheard their discussion and went to see Meng Yingxin again, still carrying a bowl of plain porridge that even a dog wouldn't eat.
“Yingxin, your sister-in-law has come to see you,” Wu Xiulan said. Her tone sounded calm, but upon closer inspection, it contained a complex mix of emotions.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Especially when they first heard that Meng Yingxin had been rescued by a soldier, and later, after making inquiries, they learned that Meng Yingxin had joined the army and seemed to have gotten together with that soldier, Wu Xiulan's heart was twisted.
On what grounds?
They were once best friends, but she could only marry Meng Yingxin's brother, while Meng Yingxin was able to marry a young, handsome, and outstanding military officer.
One's own failure is certainly painful, but a friend's success is even more enviable and jealous.
