Somehow, Li Dajun always thought of Chen Miaoyi when he slept at night.
He remembered that when she was at home, the house was clean and fragrant. Now the only smell in the house was his own sweat.
She remembered that she had been forced to drink a secret recipe by Old Lady Li before, but she just drank it in silence. Only after Li Dajun drank it himself did he know what a deadly taste it had.
In the first year, Chen Miaoyi also told him that Old Lady Li always pinched and beat her.
But how did he do it?
He said, "Mom is an elder. How long can she live? Just bear with it and it will pass."
After a few times, Chen Miaoyi never complained to him again.
But this doesn't mean that Old Lady Li's beating and scolding has disappeared.
Li Dajun missed her a little, missed her willing dedication, and missed her selfless efforts.
The next day, Li Dajun went to work with a dazed look on his face. He always felt that when he returned home, he would see Chen Miaoyi smiling gently and handing him a handkerchief to wash his face.
"Hey, hey! The army!"
The scorer stood on the edge of the field and called him to come to his senses.
"What's wrong? I put in a lot of effort, so please don't give me less points."
The scorer looked confused. The affair between Li Dajun and Lin Xiuer was known to everyone, and they were about to remarry. So...
"Da Jun, you're going to get a new wife soon, right?"
The scorer didn't say it on his face, but he was a little envious in his heart. Only Li Dajun had such good fortune.
"Yeah, what's the matter, are you coming to the wedding?"
Li Dajun asked that his marriage to Lin Xiuer should not only be held, but also be held in a lively manner so that it would appear more legitimate and natural.
"No, no, no, yes, yes, I'm coming."
"Then about your work points..."
The scorer asked. He was actually a little confused. They were in love with each other before, and all the work points were recorded for his wife. Now he wants a divorce.
“My work points?
My work points are still the same as before, I have recorded a full count! Please don’t record any less for me.”
The scorekeeper nodded repeatedly. "That's for sure. I'm talking about how to record work points."
Li Dajun waved his hoe impatiently and said, "Just remember what you need to remember. Go away and don't block me."
Seeing that his attitude was really mediocre, the scorer pursed his lips and walked away. Since it was you who said I should record it, I'll listen to you.
Li Dajun got off work early today. He walked in the fields, picked some wild flowers, and wove a straw hat with flowers on it using vines.
At the beginning, he also coaxed Chen Miaoyi to his home with his mouth, and he was very confident in his ability to pick up girls.
Although the other party has changed to Lin Xiu'er, you can just endure the unhappiness in your heart.
Lin Xiuer's family lived in the next brigade, and Li Dajun was a fast walker, so he arrived there soon.
"Auntie, I need your help. Where does Lin Xiuer live?"
The woman, carrying a basket, looked at him with a strange look, "Who are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I'm from the next-door brigade. Lin Xiu'er and I from the Lin family are getting married in a few days."
"Oh, Xiu'er is getting married. How come I haven't heard anything about it? Her family lives not far ahead. There's a jujube tree in the yard."
The aunt said with a smile, then turned around and started muttering, "How come you're getting married and don't even know where your father-in-law lives?"
He was holding those free wild flowers, acting so nonchalantly, and it was obvious that he was not a serious person.
When Li Dajun arrived at the Lin family, Lin Xiuer was hanging clothes. He saw that there was someone else in the house.
"whisper--"
Li Dajun imitated the sound of a bird, attracted Lin Xiuer's attention, and waved to her.
Li Dajun hid the wild flowers behind him and waited for Lin Xiuer to come out with him. Then the two of them turned aside.
"Xiu'er, this is for you."
The familiar routine brought back memories for Lin Xiu'er, but this time the feeling of being touched was reduced by half.
"Brother Dajun, why are you here?"
Li Dajun took her hand and said, "I came to see you when I missed you, Xiu'er, do you miss me?"
Li Dajun felt a little disgusted, but he still managed to put on a coaxing look.
"I wonder if you're here to give me a betrothal gift? I'm getting married in a few days."
Dowry, dowry, that’s all you know about dowry, Li Dajun gritted his teeth secretly.
"Xiu'er, you know our family is poor, but I swear, I will treat you well.
I think our relationship can stand the test of time.
Now is a new era, and the practice of bride price is no longer popular. Bride price is a feudal dregs. As young people, we should take the lead in resisting it!
Li Dajun spoke with great righteousness, but he was just trying to find an excuse for not having enough money for the bride price.
"Okay, Brother Dajun, my mother said you can't get married without a betrothal gift."
"Xiu'er, it's not that we don't have the betrothal gift, it's just that we may not be able to come up with that much at the moment.
Think about it, we have to get married, otherwise we will both go to jail.
If my family lends you money for the betrothal gift, won’t you have to suffer and repay the debt with me after you marry into our family?
Xiu'er, I just don't want you to live a hard life.
You should find a way to marry me first, and then all your people will be mine. How can I deny it?"
Li Dajun had a sincere look on his face and spoke from the bottom of his heart, as if he would be devastated if Lin Xiuer didn't marry him.
Everything he said was for Lin Xiuer's consideration. He even threatened Lin Xiuer that she might be pregnant with his child.
If a young girl has a miscarriage, it will be difficult for her to get married or have another child in the future.
Lin Xiu'er is young after all, and even if she has bad intentions, they are calculated and she has no experience in these matters.
After Li Dajun's analysis, she was a little shaken.
True love. Brother Da Jun was really good to her before. Was that love?
She didn't know, but she had several sisters in her family, all of whom were married off by their parents at high prices, and the betrothal money had to be saved for her younger brother.
Should I sell myself like a commodity and sacrifice myself for my brother, or marry myself for true love?
Lin Xiuer chose true love, at least it made her feel not so humble.
But the young girl didn't know that love or not can be pretended.
A few days later, the Li family held a lively banquet, and Li Dajun became the groom again.
The Lin family was deserted. Lin's father and mother received nothing, so naturally they were unwilling to hold a wedding banquet. They couldn't afford not to receive the betrothal money and then spend money on it.
Lin Xiu'er was wearing a red dress and a small red flower on her head. She was sitting in the bridal chamber waiting for Li Dajun to pick her up.
Chen Miaoyi heard the noise in the village and dressed up to go to the banquet. After recuperating for a while, she looked very strong and powerful.
Her complexion also improved, and she cut her long, dry hair into short hair with a pair of scissors, making her look very neat.
"Miaoyi, shall we go to the banquet?"
"Yes, auntie, how can I not go to such a big happy event!"
She didn't bring any gifts, and her main purpose was to eat and drink for free.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen anyone eat at the ex-mother-in-law's house. She really has no shame."
These people greeted each other warmly and then started talking.
