"It's too cold, I don't want to go out anymore!" Li Xin was dragged home by He Beichen. Because he was wearing too thick clothes, he was almost dragged away by He Beichen.
Every time she went out, she was wrapped up like a ball, but she had changed into a new winter coat, a big flowered jacket bought for her by Su Miao.
Everyone in the family thinks it looks good and insists that she wear it and walk outside. They also want her to exercise, otherwise she would be unwilling to go out if she stays at home all the time.
"When you get home, tell your parents that you should just take a walk around the house." He Beichen felt a little sorry for her as she struggled to walk.
The two of them held hands, and no matter how slowly Li Xin walked, He Beichen was not impatient at all. He always stayed by her side and pulled her when he saw she couldn't walk anymore.
Li Xueping looked at the affectionate look of the two people, and her already bad mood became even worse.
Why was it that Li Xin was able to meet He Beichen and receive a betrothal gift of 1,800 yuan when they were both sold?
But she is such an old, ugly and smelly man, and the betrothal gift is only 688?
Li Xueping stared at the two people, her heart twisted to the point of wanting to crawl in the dark.
But the more sour it is, the more I want to see it...
The more I read, the more sour I feel…
Only after she watched the two of them walk away in a self-torturing manner did she quickly walk towards home, her expression becoming much more determined than before.
No matter what is said today, she will cancel this marriage!
"Xue Ping, I heard that you are getting married soon, congratulations!" On the way, when she met people from the village, they all greeted her with a smile.
Liu Bing just came to propose marriage today, but the matter has already spread and almost everyone in the village knows about it.
"I heard she got a betrothal gift of 688? That's the second-highest betrothal gift in our village, right?"
"Not to mention our village, this is a very high betrothal gift in the surrounding area. Li Jianping is making a killing."
When talking about her marriage, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and they talked about the betrothal gift with relish, even though it had nothing to do with them.
As they talked, Li Xueping's face became even gloomier. This matter had become such a big deal. How could she face people in the village in the future?
Li Xueping rushed back home quickly. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that there were some new things in the house, some old quilts and a piece of meat. Li Zhisen was watching her and drooling, almost biting it.
"Xue Ping is back? Look how much Liu Bing cares about you. He came today to deliver the betrothal gifts. When he saw the situation in our family, he immediately sent these things over." Zhang Hongmei saw her come back and happily pointed out these things to her.
"Who wants these things from him? He's treating them like beggars!" As soon as Li Xueping came back, she heard Liu Bing's name and felt even angrier.
Even though he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, he still felt annoyed when he saw these things. He rushed over to grab the meat and quilt and wanted to throw them out.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking it?" Zhang Hongmei hurried to stop him.
"My meat, my meat!!!" Li Zhisen also reached out to grab the meat, preventing her from taking it away.
"I won't marry him. You should return all these things and the betrothal gifts to him. I don't want them!" Li Xueping said excitedly.
The three of them were in a mess. Li Zhisen was afraid that the meat would not be saved, so he kept crying loudly. His voice, mixed with Li Xueping's shouts of resistance, filled the room with noise.
Li Jianping watched this farce, frowned, and slapped Li Xueping in annoyance.
"How old are you and still so ignorant? I've told you so many times but you still don't listen?" Li Jianping's angry eyes were indeed very scary.
Even Li Zhisen hid beside Zhang Hongmei when he saw it, and didn't dare to cry out loud.
"The betrothal gift has been received and it cannot be returned. You have to marry this man whether you want to or not." Zhang Hongmei persuaded her again, pulled her into the room, and snatched the meat from her hand.
At Li Jianping's house, they finally had a good meal with meat in the evening. Now that they had money, except for Li Xueping who was unhappy, the three members of the family were very happy. It really felt like the New Year.
…
A day later, as the news of the bride price spread throughout the village, even Li Jiuyuan learned that Li Jianping was now rich.
"Brother, why are you here?" Li Jianping was frightened when he saw Li Jiuyuan coming to his house.
This time when Li Jiuyuan and his family came back, their two meetings were not pleasant, and their family had never come to visit before. Now they suddenly came to his house. How could he not feel nervous?
"I heard that you sold your daughter again and got a betrothal gift of 688. You owe our family some money. Shouldn't you pay back some of it?" Su Miao looked at him and spoke.
She and Li Jiuyuan came here just to ask for money. Now everyone in the village knows that their family is rich, and they can't use the excuse of not having money to shirk their responsibility this time.
"No, you don't have to say it so harshly..." Li Jianping's face darkened.
Li Jiuyuan obviously has something else to say!
"Are you going to wipe out our family?" Zhang Hongmei cursed as soon as she heard they were coming for money. "You've all seen what's happening at home. We have nothing! We can barely afford to eat. Now we finally have a little money, and you're here to demand it. Do you want us to die?"
Su Miao then looked around their home. There wasn't even a table, chair or bench. It looked like a bare house, which was indeed quite pitiful.
"You owe us money, isn't it your duty to pay it back?" However, Su Miao did not sympathize with their family.
When Li Xin was treated like that back then, wasn't Li Xin even more pitiful?
At that time, no one sympathized with her daughter and was kind to her.
"If you don't pay me back, I will call the police. Wait for the police to come find you." Li Jiuyuan added from the side, not wanting to argue with Li Jianping's family.
Zhang Hongmei was so angry that she wanted to curse.
Seeing that Li Jiuyuan was really about to leave, Li Jianping was afraid that he would really run to call the police, so he quickly took out money and held him back.
"Brother, you have seen the situation of my family. It's not that I don't want to give you. Take these two hundred yuan first. I really can't give you more. Our family still has to live." Li Jianping stuffed two hundred yuan into his arms.
Although the amount of money was small, Li Jiuyuan felt that it was already very good to be able to get some money back. He took the money and left without making any further fuss.
"Damn it, why are you still calling him big brother? Does he still treat you as a family member?" Zhang Hongmei watched the man take away two hundred yuan, cursing and crying.
Li Jianping was already annoyed, and now he became even more annoyed when he heard her crying, so he yelled at her.
Zhang Hongmei, who was scolded, stopped crying and cursing, but her expression was very dissatisfied, as if the money had just been stolen.
"Xinxin, take it."
On this side, as soon as Li Jiuyuan returned home, he gave the money he had just received to Li Xin.
"Haven't the New Year's red envelopes been given out already?" Li Xin held the money, looking confused.
"This is the money that was originally given to you, just keep it."
