The three were quickly executed.
After the case occurred, the police used it as a model case and began to promote anti-gambling efforts in the surrounding villages.
Ye Xiaoxiao and her family got their money back, and this incident caused Lao San to lose his wife.
Ye Xiaoxiao still felt quite guilty, especially since her in-laws had given her money to redeem the child during the most critical time, which, although not much, represented all of their savings.
Ye Xiaoxiao finally had Li Chenyang give two hundred yuan to his parents.
Chen Shengli, holding his daughter, asked his parents to take care of her. This happened in his family.
He was so shameless. He just ran away to find work. Nobody knows where he went.
Zhou Kuan's wife, Zhang Cui, was taken home by her family. Their three-year-old daughter stayed with her husband's family.
When Ye Xiaoxiao learned about this, she felt that at least Zhou Kuan's death was a good outcome for Zhang Cui. Otherwise, a few years later, after Zhang Cui gave birth to another daughter, she committed suicide not long after.
As for the fact that the third son is remarried, it's not a big deal. Anyway, they don't have any children yet, so they can just find another one. If it's hard to find someone nearby, they can send Song Tao back to their Daqing Mountain to look. They're sure to find a good girl there.
When Li Zhonghao was three years old, he found Li Chenhui another partner. But this time, it was double happiness.
Song Tao found two sisters there. The older one was named Bai Xinghua, who married Li Chenhui, and the younger one was named Bai Lihua, who married the fourth brother, Li Chenyu.
Over the past two years, Li Jianguo has spent a lot of money digging a well in the fields to the west.
The villagers all use that well to irrigate their fields. Li Jianguo has made a fortune from this well, whether he earns a lot or not, he has certainly earned enough to pay for his son's wedding.
In addition, the wives of the third and fourth sons are both girls from Daqingshan Mountain. They don't ask for much in dowry. Their in-laws said that they just want them to marry into such a good place.
Not long after the third and fourth sons got married, the two families separated.
Li Jianguo didn't want anything else to happen, so he let them live their own lives.
The fifth child passed the entrance exam for junior high school with excellent grades and is already in the first year. The sixth and seventh children are also doing better and better; while they may not be top students, they are at least above average.
Li Yanni has always been an excellent child. Ever since Hao Hao almost got lost, Li Yanni has been extremely protective of him, never letting him out of her sight for even a moment.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Li Yanni; the child might have been traumatized.
The third and fourth sons each had a son a year after getting married. This made Li Jianguo extremely happy.
Li Chenhui has finally moved on from Sun Xiuju's death and is now focusing all his energy on his family.
Having a son has revitalized him.
Before they knew it, it was 1989. That year, the fifth brother was admitted to a university in their local provincial capital. This brought honor to the whole village.
When the fifth son's admission notice came down, Li Jianguo was so happy that he held a three-day banquet.
No one expected that Li Chenlei, such a quiet and honest kid, would be able to get into such a good university.
The village also organized an open-air movie screening, which lasted for three days.
Everyone in the village envies Old Li's family. Because Old Li's family has more than one college student; the sixth and seventh sons are in their final year of high school, and the youngest, Li Yanni, is in her final year of junior high.
Li Zhonghao is seven years old this year and is in first grade. Because he inherited Ye Xiaoxiao's physique, he is tall and strong, a head taller than other children his age at only seven.
That year, Ye Xiaoxiao became pregnant again.
After the third and fourth sons each had two sons, the village pulled them together to get sterilized.
Previously, the village's family planning office had asked Ye Xiaoxiao whether they would have any more children after giving birth to Li Zhonghao, and if not, they would have to get sterilized.
Li Chenyang was furious and even got into an argument with them. He said he wanted to have another child.
Ye Xiaoxiao was overjoyed at the time. But despite all her precautions, she couldn't prevent Li Chenyang from getting her pregnant again.
"Honey, if you're pregnant, just have the baby. Look at other families, they all have two kids. What's the point of us having only one? Hao Hao is getting older now. It would be so nice to give him a younger brother or sister."
Li Chenyang was overjoyed when he found out his wife was pregnant. It was all worth it for poking so many holes in that condom with a needle.
"But I'm planning to build a new house next year. I won't be able to do anything if I have a baby."
Ye Xiaoxiao is not as resolute as before. Her mindset has changed. She's already pregnant, so what if she has another child?
"It's alright, there are so many people at home, you don't need to do it, I can handle everything myself," Li Chenyang said, patting his chest as a guarantee.
Li Chenyang has made some money running his repair shop over the years. Money isn't as hard to earn as it used to be.
Several more tractors have appeared in the village, and some families have also bought Jialing motorcycles.
They also bought a tricycle for their own family. Several families also bought televisions.
Ye Xiaoxiao took the washing machine and television out of the space last year.
They said they ordered it from the county and it was delivered to them.
"Mom, where did you go for lunch? There was no food when I got back, so I had to go to Grandma's house to eat."
It was afternoon when school let out, and Li Zhonghao saw his parents at their family's shop, so he shouted from afar.
"Nothing much, I went to the hospital."
When Li Chenyang saw his son return, he gave him a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) that he had bought from the county. "Eat it quickly, it's still hot."
Li Zhonghao happily took the food and went inside to watch TV.
"Haohao, how about we ask your mom to have another baby girl for you?"
