Niu Cuicui stopped crying, and Niu Erhua shook her head.
I was hoping that if she cried, Niu Dahua would agree.
That's it?
She went back helplessly.
I can't manage it anymore, so I'll stop caring.
Let them do whatever they want!
It depends on fate.
She went home.
Widow Zhang was still a little sad after being rejected by Huo Jianguo.
Surprisingly, even Huo Jianguo, who was remarried, didn't like her.
The villagers all said she was a jinx; her husband died less than a year after they got married!
She's only in her early twenties. If she doesn't find a man soon, is she just going to grow old and die alone?
She didn't want to give up on Huo Jianguo.
But she didn't have any good ideas.
So he could only pass by the Huo family's door every day, hoping to ask Huo Jianguo if he had changed his mind.
Let's talk about Wang Cuihong.
Liu Zhigang has never appeared since she had her uterus removed and returned to her parents' home.
She was heartbroken and would hide on the kang (a heated brick bed) and cry secretly every time.
It's already past the New Year, and Liu Zhigang still hasn't come to visit relatives.
They should have come by then.
She asked her father to call Liu Zhigang twice at the commune, but Liu Zhigang said he was too busy each time.
Let her recover first.
She had no choice, because she was very weak after undergoing major surgery.
Although he has recovered considerably after more than half a month of rest, he is now able to get out of bed and walk around for a while.
However, they can also walk around for extended periods of time.
I still feel tired.
The thought that she would never be able to have children again broke her heart.
A major event recently occurred in the Five-Star Brigade.
Several people claimed to be from Jiang City and said they were just passing through.
I never expected that after the heavy snow, I wouldn't be able to go back.
I want to find a place to stay in the village, and I will go back when the weather gets better.
The battalion commander was also a warm-hearted person, after reading their letters of introduction.
Only then did they realize that the two people had come to visit a relative, who turned out to be dead!
I wanted to go back, but I didn't know how, so I ended up at their brigade.
Both of them were dressed very well and looked like they came from wealthy families.
After staying at the brigade for a few days, I gradually became familiar with the people there.
Families with girls in the team started having wicked ideas.
Nosy old women would naturally go up and ask if he had a wife or something.
Both of them said they didn't have wives yet.
Somehow, Huo Changlan found out about this.
Her eyes darted around, and she thought of her two unmarried daughters at home.
So he asked someone to go up and ask if he wanted to find a wife.
The two men laughed and said, "Finding a wife is fine too! But it all comes down to fate!"
"We're a very particular family. If we're destined to be with someone, we'll offer a dowry of five hundred yuan!"
Five hundred yuan?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
However, Yao Qingqing was even more tempted.
Yao Tingting remained unmoved.
"Yao Tingting, such a good family, aren't you tempted?"
Yao Tingting shook her head: "I don't want to marry so far away. If we both marry far away, what will happen to our mother?"
Actually, she felt something was wrong; these two people had heard that someone was going to find him a wife.
It directly indicates that they are very rich.
Who has so much money that they would say that?
This is obviously appealing.
Just look at what happened to Yang Laidi to know.
This person came to their brigade without any clear explanation; this matter is a bit suspicious.
She wouldn't dare gamble with the rest of her life.
She couldn't stop Yao Qingqing from getting married.
She would never marry someone whose background she doesn't know.
Huo Changlan wanted to try to persuade Yao Tingting again.
But Yao Tingting said, "Mom, think about it, what will you do after Qingqing and I leave?"
"You don't have a good relationship with your uncle's family, how can you manage without anyone taking care of you?"
Huo Changlan was deeply moved and agreed to let her stay for now, and that she could find a good family for her later.
And so, Yao Qingqing successfully got engaged to one of them.
The engagement was organized by Huo Changlan!
The captain didn't actually agree. He advised Huo Changlan to think it over carefully, but Huo Changlan wouldn't listen and thought it was a good thing.
However, Huo Changlan wouldn't listen, and there was nothing he could do.
She's not his daughter after all.
It's none of his business.
Needless to say, Huo Changgen was only happy and didn't say a word.
The only ones I felt were unreliable, besides Li Xiangyun, were Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan.
But none of the three of them would say a word.
Yun Ningyan laughed and said, "Tell me, isn't Yao Qingqing stupid? She just agreed to marry him after he offered her 500 yuan as a bride price!"
"I think she's gone mad!"
"People who are unaware of their family's situation."
"They immediately offered a dowry of 500 yuan."
"I think they're just here to scam people into marriage."
Huo Junshan kissed her cheek: "We know, that's enough. Let her do whatever she wants."
And so, Yao Qingqing got engaged. A few days later, the weather improved a bit.
He left with those two people.
But when she arrived, she realized that this was not Jiang City at all; it had taken her several days and nights by train to get there.
The land here is all yellow earth, and even the houses are made of mud bricks.
The air was filled with yellow sand, and when the wind blew, it was so strong that people couldn't even open their eyes.
She looked at her husband, who had been showering her with concern these past few days, and asked, "Where is this? This shouldn't be Jiang City, right?"
The man finally revealed his evil nature.
"What do you think? How could this be Jiang City? This is just a poor and backward mountain village in Gansu Province."
"It can't compare to your place."
