"We're about to get married and you're still messing around like this!"
"It would be so unlucky if Li Xin died here..."
"That's right, luckily the person was rescued, otherwise it would have been our Xue Ping who got married!"
Li Xin heard a vague conversation coming from outside. His consciousness was still a little confused, and his head felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer, with a dull pain.
What marriage?
What bad luck?
Who the hell died!?
Li Xin woke up all of a sudden. She opened her eyes and saw a small room with the word "double happiness" pasted on it. However, the red double happiness was pasted very sloppily and crookedly, as if it was pasted on temporarily.
There was no light in the room, only two red candles standing by the bed, the flames flickering.
"here it is……"
Li Xin rubbed her throbbing temples, and fragments of memories quickly flooded her mind. They were very unfamiliar and did not belong to her.
She seems...
Traveling through a book?
The original owner of the book has the same name and surname as her. Her parents disappeared after giving birth to her, so she was adopted by her uncle. In addition to her adoptive parents, she also has a 19-year-old cousin and a 12-year-old cousin.
But after all, she is not her biological child. Her adoptive parents have rarely even met their own brothers, let alone her. They can only barely give her a bite to eat. Now that she is 18 years old, it is time for her to get married.
It just so happened that the matchmaker found a soldier for Li Xin. The soldier was very anxious to get married and had low requirements. He just wanted the woman to be healthy and able to bear children. The betrothal gift was very generous. When Li's father saw so much betrothal gift, he agreed to marry Li Xin off without asking whether the woman had an official position, how old she was, or what her character was like.
However, two months after the marriage, the original owner's husband died for his country while on a mission. All the pension was taken away by her adoptive parents and given to her cousin as a dowry and for her cousin to marry in the future.
As a widow, she was trapped in this small village forever.
The original owner heard from Li Xueping that soldiers were a bunch of rough guys with bad tempers. They didn't like to take showers and were covered in sweat. Most importantly, they would beat their wives!
The betrothal gifts had been received, and the original owner had to get married. When she thought about being beaten to death by her future husband, she made up her mind and hanged herself in the new house.
And now, Li Xin has traveled back to the original owner's wedding night.
…
After receiving the settings in the book, Li Xin fell silent.
So, did I really travel through a book?
Not sure, let’s see.
Just when Li Xin closed his eyes, wondering if all this was just a dream, the door was suddenly opened and a tall figure with long legs walked in.
"...Li Xin." He Beichen saw the girl sitting on the small bed, she looked a little skinny.
She closed her eyes, lowered her head, frowned slightly, and huddled in the corner of the bed, looking like a pitiful little thing.
He Beichen looked at her like this, his cold face expressionless, his thin lips slightly pursed. After all, she was still a little girl, and she must be afraid of marrying a strange man.
only……
Being so scared that he hanged himself from a shark is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
Li Xin heard the voice of a strange man and opened his eyes again to look at him.
Well, it’s confirmed, I really did travel through the book!
None of her male science and engineering colleagues in the research institute had such a deep and sexy voice, or that...manly face at first glance.
He Beichen has been in the army for many years. He has healthy and beautiful wheat-colored skin and a cold and hard face. He looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
"Don't you want to get married?" He Beichen had already walked to the edge of the kang, and his tall figure looked down at her with a strong sense of oppression.
"I..." Li Xin opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"The Li family was very happy to receive the betrothal gift at that time. I thought we had reached a consensus." He Beichen had a gloomy face and his voice was a little cold.
Old Master He has been urging him to get married, and he's been urging him to get married first. He Beichen plans to marry someone first to keep him stable. In addition, he has to go on a mission in two months, and the mission is difficult and dangerous. What if something happens to him...
The He family will not be extinct.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The girl would rather hang herself than marry him.
"No, I'm happy to receive... because you gave me so much." Li Xin said in a low voice.
In this era, who can afford a dowry of 1888?
Li Jianping wanted to pack up and send Li Xin over overnight.
In fact, Li Xin could completely understand He Beichen's current unhappiness. If her husband acted so desperately on their wedding day, she would also be angry!
He Beichen: “?”
The money for the bride price was all saved by He Beichen himself. He had been in the army for 13 years, so there was no way he couldn't afford the bride price.
Besides, only by giving more betrothal gifts will girls be willing to marry into the He family, proving that they will not be treated unfairly if they marry into their He family. What's wrong with giving more?
Not at all!
"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Although He Beichen was anxious to get married, he was not so crazy as to force a little girl.
“…”
In fact, Li Xin was just thinking about this question.
It is now 1976. If she does not marry He Beichen, given Li Jianping's personality, she will definitely not agree to cancel the engagement even if she receives the betrothal gift. In this era when one needs a letter of introduction to go out, Li Xin feels that it will be useless even if she runs away, especially since she is penniless.
It would be better for her to marry him. After three months he would go on a mission and die for his country. Then she could do whatever she wanted, right?
"I understand." Seeing that Li Xin didn't say anything, He Beichen's eyes became even darker.
