Chapter 46: Gift and Dowry
Old Mrs. Lu looked up at Qin Wan, then looked at the old man hesitantly, stammering without saying a word.
Qin Wan spoke first: "Captain, you also know that Comrade Lu and I were dating before, and Comrade Lu was trapped in the mountains, and it was me who led the militia to rescue him.
After we brought him down, we sent him straight to the hospital. The doctor said that Comrade Lu's condition was very critical and that if he had been sent there a little later, he would probably have died.
In order to save him, I spent 200 yuan in two days and gave him injections, medicines, and intravenous drips. After Comrade Lu woke up, the doctor said that his injured leg was completely useless and he probably wouldn't be able to stand up again.
We had been dating for two months and had been planning to get married, but this happened. I'm still young and I can't let my life be ruined.
So I wanted to talk to Comrade Lu and we should just call it quits, but Comrade Lu didn't want to. He kept holding my hand and asked me not to give up on him.
He also said that he was not valued at home and would definitely die if he was sent back to the Lu family. He also said that he wanted to be my family's son-in-law.
My grandfather died early, and my father and stepmother also passed away due to some things. Now I am the only one in my Qin family.
Lu Yunxiao said that as long as I was willing to support him, he would be willing to be my son-in-law, and that the child would take my surname Qin. I agreed in a moment of excitement. "
The captain understood as he listened. Looking at Qin Wan's expression, he thought that Qin Wan must have said that on purpose, but he also felt that there was probably some truth in it.
If Lu Yunxiao really can't get up again in the future, then Qin Wan will really have found a burden.
Li Ruolan added fuel to the fire at this time: "Isn't it just a hot-headed thing? You said before that Comrade Lu is good-looking, so you don't mind that he is a cripple.
Now his legs are broken, and he won't be able to move anymore. What do you want him for? It's not that difficult to find a live-in son-in-law. With your looks, can you pick one?"
Qin Wan was so frustrated by the scolding that her face was full of embarrassment.
She sighed deeply and looked at the team leader again: "Li Zhiqing is right, I was indeed simple-minded and made a mistake in this matter.
In addition, we just came back from the hospital today, and the Lu family came and knocked on my door, asking me to return Lu Yunxiao to them.
At first I thought they were here to snatch me away, so I was a little rude to them. It was indeed my fault.
Now I have thought it through. If you want the person, you can take him back. But I put all the 200 yuan in so that Lu Yunxiao could get medical treatment.
I don't want the person, but you must return the money to me. Give me the money and take the person away quickly." Qin Wan said to the Lu family sincerely and anxiously.
The captain sighed, thinking that the Lu family really had a grudge against Lu Yunxiao and was determined to see Lu Yunxiao die.
If they didn't go to rescue him, someone else would have rescued him. Lu Yunxiao was sent to the hospital and survived. Although one of his legs was broken, at least he was still alive.
He also found himself a backer. Although being a son-in-law is not a good thing, at least he will not starve to death in the future.
But unexpectedly, the last way of survival was also ruined by his own family. The captain suddenly became confused. Did the Lu family have a grudge against Lu Yunxiao?
"What Qin Zhiqing said is right, if you want to take your son away, no one can stop you.
However, you must return every penny of the 200 yuan medical expenses to Qin Zhiqing.
Otherwise, if this matter gets out of hand and ends up in the police station, 200 yuan is enough to get you in jail for a few years, so think about it."
The captain now dislikes the Lu family from the bottom of his heart. Besides, Qin Wan’s request is reasonable and he has nothing to say.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was very upset: "Where did our family get 200 yuan? No! Really no!"
"Why are you coming here without money? You don't want to get something for free, do you?" Liu Kunming, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly interrupted.
“You have to give me the money even if you don’t have it. This is for your son’s medical treatment. Give me the money quickly and then carry your disabled son back home.
I was mistaken before, but now I understand. Hurry up and return the money to me! Otherwise, I will really report it to the police!" Qin Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard that there was no money.
At this time, Father Lu, who had been hiding behind the woman, came out with a sad face: "Qin Zhiqing, our family really doesn't have 200 yuan, we really can't take out that much.
Therefore, the second son’s mother and I agreed to let him be your Qin family’s son-in-law, and he will have nothing to do with our family anymore.”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she became anxious. Her husband was still in the police station. The reason they came to find the second brother was to make him speak up and let Lu Yunfei go.
How come things have gone sideways now? They are starting to talk about giving Lu Yunxiao to Qin Wan's family as a son-in-law?
"No, I don't agree! I told you before, if you give me 200 yuan, I will return your disabled son to you.
I only want the money and not the person now, so you should take the person away and return my money!" This time, it was Qin Wan who became persistent.
In short, they argued in the educated youth camp for most of the night, but still couldn't come up with a solution. The team leader hadn't slept well to begin with, and now he felt a throbbing pain in his head.
"Shut the fuck up!" The captain suddenly slammed the table, and Qin Wan and the Lu family, who were arguing heatedly, immediately stopped talking.
"Now I just want to say one thing. What do you want to do? Qin Wan, tell me first. Can you accept Lu Yunxiao as your son-in-law?
If you can accept it, then accept it. Lu Yunxiao is a hero who has been on the battlefield. If you can give him something to eat, it can be considered a good deed."
After hearing what the captain said, Qin Wan's expression softened a little, but she was still a little hesitant.
"In fact, I was willing to date Comrade Lu in the beginning because I knew he was a hero and that he injured his foot to protect our people.
But, that 200 yuan is all my savings, and I only have 10 yuan on me now, I really can’t afford it anymore…”
Zheng Fanghua suddenly whispered, "Comrade Lu is now considered married to Qin Zhiqing, right? Don't you have to give a dowry when you get married?"
Li Yingying continued her words: "Then you have to give a gift to marry a wife!"
"200 yuan for medical treatment is not considered as a betrothal gift? Then how much is considered? 200 yuan is already a lot. If I can receive 200 yuan as a betrothal gift when I get married, my parents will be so happy." Zhou Shengnan rolled her eyes at Li Yingying.
