Chapter 3 Lu Jiaojiao is really in the spotlight



"Brother Ting, isn't this your childhood sweetheart?"

"Being with you, I can eat two more bowls of rice. She praised Brother Ting for your good looks. This girl's words are quite interesting."

"But no matter how interesting the words are, they have to be worthy of you, Brother Ting!"

"What on earth was your old man thinking? He had to send you to this remote place as an educated youth, and he also let you marry a child."

"This little girl seems to like you, Brother Ting, you won't really marry her, right?"

The morning sunlight shone on Lu Baiwei who was cutting grass for the cow. She looked pitiful with red eyes as she talked to people, and her shoulders were shaking.

After she finished cutting the grass, she piled it in a winnowing basket, pressed it down, and picked it up. He Ting felt that her small arms and slender waist could be broken by the full load of grass.

She is tall but too thin, and looks like she will fall down if the wind blows.

Crying in front of the aunts and uncles in the team.

Is this because he was bullied badly at home?

Looking at the slender figure carrying the grass for the cow and walking away, He Ting felt annoyed for no reason. He took the bundle of firewood off his shoulder and put it on the ground, and handed the machete to Zhou Yanfeng who was chopping firewood with him.

"Take this bundle of firewood back. I'll go to the county town."

Zhou Zhiqing was confused: "Brother Ting, why are you going to the county town? Aren't you going to work today?"

"No, I need to take a leave for something..."

The Lu family had sweet potato porridge for breakfast. When it was almost noon, Lu Jianguo, who was weeding in the field, was so hungry that he urged Liu Chunhua to go home quickly to cook.

Liu Chunhua called Lu Jiaojiao, who had been working all morning, to come back and help with the fire.

Lu Jiaojiao put a handful of firewood into the stove, then sat on the bench holding a fire fork. Her eyes were shining, and no one knew what she was thinking. She would smile with complacency from time to time.

"Jiaojiao, tell me the truth, is there really gold and silver treasures buried under the Yin family's shabby house?"

Lu Jiaojiao was dreaming of becoming the wife of a billionaire. She was imagining herself living in a mansion of several thousand square meters in place of Lu Baiwei, but her fantasy was interrupted by her mother Liu Chunhua.

Lu Jiaojiao remembered it very clearly. In her previous life, when she was running away with someone, the whole team was saying that Yin Zhihe had dug out gold bars from under the old house. At that time, she asked Lu Baiwei to borrow money, but Lu Baiwei was stingy and refused to lend her money.

Many years later, when Lu Baiwei was interviewed on TV, she had just been rescued from a remote mountainous area by the police.

She was only in her thirties or forties, but she had been tortured beyond recognition. Compared with the glamorous Lu Baiwei on TV, she looked like an old lady in her twilight years.

Yin Zhihe was the marriage that her mother Liu Chunhua arranged for Lu Baiwei.

All of this was originally taken away from her by Lu Baiwei.

She must get it back in this life.

Lu Jiaojiao said firmly: "Mom, can I still lie to you about this?"

"I'm not stupid. If the Yin family didn't have any assets, would I compete with my sister to marry Yin Zhihe?"

"It's hard to dig out the Yin family's stuff right now. Once the policy changes in two or three years, you'll see that Yin Zhihe will be the richest man in our area. Just wait and enjoy the good life with your daughter and son-in-law!"

It was because Lu Jiaojiao shouted that the Yin family had buried gold and silver treasures that Liu Chunhua suddenly changed her mind.

Even though Lu Jiaojiao insisted that there must be gold bars buried under the Yin family's old house, compared with He Ting, whose conditions were obvious, Liu Chunhua still felt that it was a loss to marry Lu Jiaojiao to Yin Zhihe.

"Jiaojiao, do you think it's okay for Yin Zhi and his sisters to help collect the betrothal money to buy a watch?"

"Don't worry, mom, everything is fine!"

"I threatened Yin Zhihe with what happened last night. He didn't go to work today. He went to the county town to ask for his eldest sister's watch early in the morning. He said that after he got the watch, he would bring 188 yuan as a gift and come to our house to propose marriage."

In her previous life, she married He Ting and had nothing.

What’s the point of He Ting’s family sending her money and food? Even though he has mountains of gold and silver, He Ting refuses to spend a penny on her.

Ever since they got the marriage certificate, He Ting had always been cold towards her. No matter what tricks she used, He Ting refused to touch her.

Instead, Lu Baiwei married the poor man Yin Zhihe and received a dowry and a watch collected by his sisters.

In this life, the glory of having the betrothal money and the Plum Blossom watch belongs to her, Lu Jiaojiao.

Lu Jiaojiao was still feeling proud that she got Yin Zhihe before Lu Baiwei, but she never expected that something even more glorious was waiting for her.

While she was whispering a few words with Liu Chunhua and her daughter, a tractor stopped outside the Lu family's door.

"Is anyone there? Is it Lu Jianguo?"

The man driving the tractor outside shouted at the top of his voice: "Your son-in-law asked for a sewing machine to be sent home."

Lu Jiaojiao and Liu Chunhua rushed out from the kitchen when they heard the noise and saw a shiny new Yanban sewing machine placed on the straw pile of the tractor.

"Come and lend a hand!"

The tractor driver urged Liu Chunhua to help carry the sewing machine: "The radio and the watch, your son-in-law put them in the back of his newly bought Phoenix bicycle. This sewing machine is too big, so he paid me to help carry it back."

"Your son-in-law is really rich. He bought three gongs and one bell. There are not many families in the city who can afford three gongs and one bell for wedding."

"Aunt, you are so lucky. Your family really found a rich son-in-law."

Didn’t Yin Zhi and his sisters only provide the betrothal money and watches?

How come you still have three turns and one ring?

Suddenly struck by a pleasant surprise, Lu Jiaojiao almost fainted from happiness.

It happened to be noon when people were getting off work, and many people passed by the Lu family's door. How could Lu Jiaojiao miss such a good opportunity to show off?

Seeing Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling coming over with the people who were leaving work, Lu Jiaojiao, holding the Yan brand sewing machine that had just been lifted off the tractor, was so proud that her tail almost flew up to the sky.

She called Lu Baiwei: "Sister, come and see, this is the sewing machine that Brother Zhihe bought for me."

"Not only did he buy a sewing machine, Zhihe also bought a set of three-turn and one-ring."

"Brother Zhihe's Phoenix bicycle is behind us. He has his radio and watch. The sewing machine is too big, so we have to pay someone to bring it back with a tractor."

A brand new sewing machine is quite eye-catching.

The Yin family, who were extremely poor, still prepared three turns and one ring?

The team members who passed by the Lu family’s door expressed surprise and curiosity. They came over and gathered around the sewing machine, and some even congratulated Lu Jiaojiao against their will.

Lu Jiaojiao was even more proud: "Sister, Brother Zhihe will be here soon, you have to take a good look at the three-turn and one-ring he bought for me."

"Brother Zhihe loves me so much. His sisters who married to the county town must be very satisfied with me as their brother's wife."

"Sister, Brother Zhihe first asked you to marry him, but he only gave me some money for the betrothal gift, but now I have three rings and one watch!"

Liu Chunhua and Lu Jianguo also felt very proud and their faces were flushed with pride.

It was as if something had happened, and the incident of Lu Jiaojiao and Yin Zhihe hiding in the haystack last night was not so embarrassing anymore.

Liu Chunhua wished that everyone on the team knew that Yin Zhihe had collected the three turns and one ring for Lu Jiaojiao.

She followed behind Lu Jiaojiao and shouted at the top of her voice: "Which family in our brigade has collected three turns and one ring for marriage? There is none, my Jiaojiao is the first one."

"My daughter Jiaojiao is very promising. This marriage is a good one."

Lu Jiaojiao and Lu Jianguo were so busy showing off that they didn't notice someone riding a brand new Phoenix bicycle on the path at the entrance of the village.

The person riding the bicycle was not Yin Zhihe at all.
