"Let me ask you, how difficult is it?" Li Jiuyuan had already handed all the luggage in the car to the twins.
Li Jiuyuan had been standing next to Li Jianping and his wife since they came over. He had been staring at the two of them for a long time, but instead of recognizing them, it seemed as if they only had eyes for He Beichen.
He didn't even look at the 'girl' they were talking about, Li Xin.
Li Jiuyuan knew very well whether it was sincere or not.
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhang Hongmei got a little angry when she saw that He Beichen was always ignoring her.
"What does it have to do with me... Li Jianping, you don't recognize me?"
Li Jiuyuan snorted coldly, took two steps forward, and stood in front of He Beichen.
"You..." Li Jianping felt the voice was slightly familiar.
Look more closely at his face.
Looks familiar too...
"Are you... the eldest brother?" Li Jianping asked tentatively, a little uncertain.
"So you still remember." Li Jiuyuan stared at him, "You still remember that I'm your elder brother?"
Li Jianping: “…”
His pupils suddenly trembled.
Eighteen years...
The entire village, including Li Jianping himself, felt that his eldest brother and his family were probably gone!
Wow, he's back now safe and sound?
This is scary!
Zhang Hongmei was so scared that she made an emoji: (°Д°)
I was even so scared that I took several steps back.
In fact, Zhang Hongmei had also met her brother and sister-in-law, but the number of times they met was not very many. Moreover, Li Jianping said that the couple were dead, otherwise why would they go to the village chief every year to ask for their house?
His sudden return was, in Zhang Hongmei's opinion, no less than a ghost coming to claim his life...
"What's the matter? Come and talk to me. I gave you money and asked you to help me take care of my daughter. How did you do it?" Li Jiuyuan's voice was colder than the cold winter in Northeast China.
Li Jianping & Zhang Hongmei: "..."
The two of them just opened their mouths and stared at Li Jiuyuan blankly.
"You didn't give me enough food to eat, you didn't buy me clothes, and you sold my daughter to a strange man?" Li Jiuyuan listed their crimes one by one.
Strange man He Beichen: "..."
He rubbed his nose. Although he had not known about this matter before marrying Li Xin, and he had not treated the girl badly, if his position was changed, if his daughter was treated so harshly, marrying a man he didn't know anything about, but just gave a large betrothal gift...
He will definitely be angry too!
He Beichen decided to keep quiet and let his father-in-law and mother-in-law handle it.
Otherwise, the good image that he had worked so hard to create in front of them would be destroyed by Li Jianping and his wife.
"Xinxin, let's go in and make a fire first." He Beichen whispered, taking Li Xin's gloved hand.
The young wife is afraid of the cold, so we need to find firewood to make a fire later.
"Hmm... wait a minute." Li Xin was not in a hurry. She just wanted to eat melon.
"Then I'll go in first."
"good."
Seeing He Beichen walked into the house without saying a word, the three men put away their luggage and started a fire.
Zhang Hongmei finally came to her senses. Seeing the man who had been so cold to her just now now being as obedient as a big dog, her heart suddenly turned cold.
He Beichen's attitude says it all!
"Li Jianping, I handed my daughter over to you, and this is how you treat her?" Li Jiuyuan's tone rose a little. "Now you come looking for my son-in-law, what do you want? Do you want money?"
Li Jianping: “…”
He swallowed subconsciously, sensing his brother's anger. Thinking of how he had treated Li Xin in the past, he felt a chill running down his spine. "No, no, brother... I thought you and sister-in-law had already... "
No, what good person wouldn’t go home for 18 years?
When Li Xin was sent here, they were in a hurry. They gave her the money and left in a hurry. Although they said they would come to pick her up later, they didn't say what they were going to do when they left. Who wouldn't think too much about it?
"Dead, right?" Su Miao snorted coldly, "Oh, brother, is this how you wish us to die?"
“No, no…”
"Xinxin was so skinny when I found her. If it weren't for Beichen, who knows what would have become of her. Li Jianping, do you have a heart? Even if Xinxin isn't your daughter, she's still your niece!" Su Miao thought about what would have happened if her daughter had had worse luck, or if someone else offered a higher gift than He Beichen...
Then I don’t know what it’s like to marry into that family!
"No, no!" Zhang Hongmei quickly defended herself, "We also knew that Beichen was a soldier and must be a good person, so we decided to marry Xinxin to him..."
Xinxin?
Li Xin, who was eating melon seeds at the side, heard his nickname from Zhang Hongmei's mouth for the first time. Hey~ why is the same name so disgusting when it is said by Zhang Hongmei?
Snap——
Su Miao couldn't hold back and slapped him, "Then why don't you let your daughter get married?"
Zhang Hongmei was stunned by the slap. She didn't feel any pain at first, but soon, the sharp sting mixed with a chill made her grimace in pain. "You, you dare to hit me?"
"I just called this for Xinxin!"
"Ah ...
Ever since her house was robbed, Zhang Hongmei has been in a bad mood all day long. She has a gloomy face and looks unlucky to everyone who sees her. But she can't control this matter. Who made the police so rubbish that they can't even catch a thief?
The neighbors also said that they deserved it. It was because they got the sky-high bride price and were so proud of it that they wanted to show off to everyone they saw. Now, every time Zhang Hongmei saw someone looking at her and muttering, or passed by someone's house and heard the after-dinner gossip about her family, her temper became worse and worse.
She had fought with people in the village many times this year, and the villagers became more and more disgusted with her.
Zhang Hongmei's life is so frustrating!
Now that he was slapped by Su Miao, he couldn't control his temper.
"Hongmei, wait a minute..."
Before Li Jianping could reach out to grab her, Zhang Hongmei was bounced back. She looked up and saw two identical faces staring at her coldly. One of them grabbed her hand and pushed her away.
