Chapter 235 Wang Jianshe Comes to Make Trouble Part 2
(This chapter is three chapters in one)
"Xiaomei, why didn't you tell me you had a partner?"
"Yesterday, Wang Jianshe went to the village to make trouble again, saying that if you married her, the matter would be over. If I knew he had such intentions, I would not let you come back."
"What would you do if your partner knew about this? Otherwise, why don't you just go home and wait until this is over before coming back? Do you still have money?"
As he said this, he was about to take out the cloth bag and give Xiaomei some money.
"My partner knows what happened. That's Wang Jianshe's business. It's not like I took his betrothal gift and then stole her away. My partner knows who I am. He came here just for this matter."
Li Yu frowned. His daughter was still young and didn't understand people's hearts. The news had spread all over those villages and everyone in the village believed it. If she went back and heard something, and didn't say anything at the time, but kept it in her heart and told it later, how could the relationship between the two of them still be good?
"My daughter, you still don't know the current situation. Your fourth uncle, your eldest uncle, and I have already discussed it. After we send your mother back, we will go to the county to sue that Wang Jianshe. The town officials cannot go there."
"Wang Jianshe gave benefits to someone, and now he doesn't care. At first, I thought he was trying to extort money by relying on his uncle being the mayor. Anyway, I won't let you marry such a man, don't worry. This matter will take a while, so you should stay away for now. I think your partner is quite good, don't let this ruin the relationship."
My daughter has already called off an engagement once. If this one fails again, how will she find a partner in the future?
"Why should I avoid him? We're talking about the rule of law now, not what his uncle said before. Where should I go? I can't go back to the army, so going to my second uncle's place? Wouldn't that just cause trouble for him? I don't think Wang Jianshe can still rob me."
Li Yu frowned again when he heard this: "That's right, your mother doesn't want your second uncle to know about this situation. His family is just getting better off and is building a house right now. We can't cause trouble for them because of this."
"Sister, you're back?"
A young boy shouted from behind Xiaomei.
As soon as the second brother Xiaoxing arrived at the toll booth, he saw Xiaomei.
Xiaomei turned around when she heard the voice and saw that it was her little brother whom she had been thinking about day and night. She smiled and ran over to him, turning her head and patting his head.
"Have you been obedient at home during this period? Have you tried to not make your parents angry?"
Xiaoxing took a step back, not wanting Xiaomei to treat him like a child in front of so many people.
"I've been taking care of Mom in the hospital all this time. I'm old enough now, so of course I don't want Mom to worry about me. My second uncle's eldest cousin drove a tractor to pick Mom up. My second brother and the others went upstairs to the ward, so they asked me to go find Dad."
After he said that, he ran to Li Xu and handed him a handkerchief.
Li Yu opened it and saw that it contained three hundred yuan. He asked, "Who gave it to me?"
Xiaoxing: "My eldest uncle's family is ten, my fourth uncle's family is one hundred, and my second uncle's family is one hundred."
"My second uncle's cousin Baojun is here?"
Xiaoxing nodded heavily.
Wang Jianshe had recently spread rumors in several nearby villages, and the matter had become a hot topic. Naturally, Lin Ergu and Lin Qingqing, who lived in the next village, also knew about it.
Lin Ergu's family conditions were not very good either. Lin Xi also remembered Xiaomei's care for Lin Qingqing in the army, so he asked Lin Yu to give Lin Baojun 100 yuan, which was considered as paying Xiaomei in advance, and asked him to bring some things to see when Lin Ergu would be discharged from the hospital and to know how the family situation was.
As soon as he arrived in the village, he met Tieshu who was pulling a cart to go to the county to pick up Lin Ergu. He thought this was too much trouble so he asked Tieshu to wait. He went back to the village to ask the team leader to borrow a tractor. Since it was not the busy farming season, the team leader would usually lend it to him.
Later, he drove a tractor with Tieshu and his two cousins from his uncle's family to the county to pick up Aunt Lin.
"Well, let's go upstairs and get your mother into the car and go home first. Xiaomei, you can go too."
Li Xu waved to a few people and walked out first.
Xiaoxing followed Xiaomei and smiled happily. He was six years younger than Xiaomei and was raised by her since he was a child. He was very close to her.
Xiaomei glanced at her brother who looked like a dog-skin plaster and smiled.
Zhou Lie also came over and asked Xiaomei if something happened at home.
"Xiaomei, is that Wang Jianshe causing trouble again?"
Xiaoxing noticed Zhou Lie as soon as he ran in. The tall man in military uniform was hard to ignore in the crowd.
He saw Zhou Lie actually came over to talk to his elder sister, and the two seemed to be quite familiar with each other. He stared at Zhou Lie with wide eyes.
Seeing Xiaoxing like this, Xiaomei tapped him on the head and said, "This is Brother Zhou, hurry up and call someone."
Xiao Xing glanced at Xiao Mei hesitantly, then looked at Zhou Lie and called out, "Brother Zhou."
"Go find dad quickly. I have something to say to your brother Zhou."
Xiaomei saw Xiaoxing running away, so she slowed down and told Zhou Lie that Wang Jianshe came to their house again yesterday and said that this matter could be resolved by getting married.
"He really wants to do something good." Zhou Lie's face darkened.
"Zhou Lie, my father told me to go out and hide for a while, saying he was afraid that if you saw this, it would affect our relationship."
Zhou Lie patted Xiaomei's head. "What nonsense! We'd be fools if we were influenced by someone like that. I called my comrades the day we set out. They're probably already investigating the mayor. We'll call the police when we get back to town."
Xiaomei nodded. She used to feel inferior and didn't dare to date Zhou Lie, but after what happened on the train these few days, she not only believed in Zhou Lie, but also wanted the two of them to be together well.
The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at the door of Aunt Lin's ward.
Li Xu and Lin Baojun were smoking and talking at the end of the corridor.
Tieshu and his uncle's family, Li Hengzhi, Li Baicheng and Xiaoxing were packing their things in the ward.
Xiaomei and Zhou Lie entered the ward. Tieshu and the others who were packing up stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhou Lie.
Just now, Aunt Lin told Tieshu that Xiaomei has a boyfriend, and he’s a soldier.
As soon as Tieshu saw Zhou Lie, he felt that his sister had found a treasure. He had also seen other soldiers, and the aura and appearance of the soldier his sister chose was much better than any other soldier he had seen.
He now listens to his mother. It would be a pity if his sister lost such a good partner because of Wang Jianshe.
Zhou Lie changed into a military uniform before getting off the train. After all, he was going to meet Xiaomei's family, so his appearance had to be acceptable.
He looked dignified and energetic in his army green short-sleeved shirt and seamless army trousers. The handsome army boots on his feet further highlighted his soldier's toughness.
Standing there with a height of over 1.8 meters, he exudes a calm and steady aura.
You can tell at first glance that he doesn't have the aura of an ordinary soldier.
No wonder Tieshu and the others were stunned.
Xiaomei saw the stunned people and introduced them with a smile: "This is my boyfriend Zhou Lie, you can call him Brother Zhou."
Tieshu looked at Zhou Lie dumbly and called out, "Brother Zhou."
Li Hengzhi and Li Baicheng also shouted, "Brother Zhou."
Zhou Lie smiled and walked over to shake hands with the three of them: "Hello."
This was the first time someone shook hands with them so solemnly. They wiped their hands, blushed, and shook hands with Zhou Lie one after another with a little nervousness.
Seeing them still daydreaming, Xiaomei shouted, "Hurry up and pack up and go home. We can still make it in time for lunch."
Tieshu and his companions quickened their work, and soon all the pots and bowls were packed up.
"Dad, cousin, everything is ready, let's go."
Xiaomei rushed out of the ward again to call Li Xu and Lin Baojun, who were swallowing and exhaling smoke.
The two men put out their cigarettes and came to the ward.
Lin Baojun laughed when he saw Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, you've been eating more and more these days. How are you getting fatter and fatter? Is the army life good?"
Seeing Xiaomei, he felt less worried. If Xiaomei could gain weight, then his younger sister would not be far behind in the army.
"I'm fine. I have good food and accommodation in the army. You and my second uncle can rest assured."
Lin Baojun glanced at Zhou Lie and extended his hand first: "Are you Xiaomei's boyfriend? I heard that he is in the same unit as Yiyuan?"
Zhou Lie reached out and shook his hand. When he heard Yiyuan's name, he didn't react for a moment. The next second he realized that Yiyuan was the team leader.
Xiaomei reminded quietly: "This is my sister's biological brother."
Isn’t that the team leader’s uncle?
Zhou Lie smiled brightly: "Hello, it turns out you are my sister-in-law's brother, so I will call you brother too."
Lin Baojun nodded: "We are all family."
Xiaomei told her family this morning that Zhou Lie was her boyfriend without feeling shy. But when she heard Lin Baojun say "we are all family", her face turned red.
Li Yu saw that Zhou Lie was satisfied with everything, so he smiled and said, "Baojun, you can have lunch at home and drink with Xiao Zhou."
Lin Baojun nodded: "Okay, Second Uncle."
"Then let's go." Li Yuyu went to the bedside and wanted to help Lin Baojun carry Aunt Lin down.
Zhou Lie had already followed Qian and said, "Let me do it, uncle."
Li Yu smiled and stepped aside, giving Zhou Lie a chance to perform.
Zhou Lie and Lin Baojun worked together to lift Aunt Lin Er onto the bed frame next to them. Later, the four of them would carry the bed frame onto the tractor and go home.
It was a long way from the ward on the third floor to the tractor at the hospital gate.
"Dad, come and help me carry the bag. Let Zhou Lie carry the bed."
"Okay." Li Xu smiled and picked up the two bags.
Lin Baojun, Zhou Lie, Tie Shu and Li Hengzhi carried the bed.
Xiaomei gave the packed basin to Xiaoxing and went to get Lin Qingqing to pack a sack of things. Li Baicheng looked at the sack and carried it together with Xiaomei.
It took the group seven or eight minutes to reach the gate.
