Chapter 17 Mother Li
"My name is Li Huan. Please stop calling me a second-rate person, or I'll get angry."
Li Huan frowned deeply. This female educated youth kept calling him a second-rate person right in front of him. She really had no taste. No wonder she had been in Xiangyang Village for five years but had not yet married.
"oh…"
Han Chunmei didn't know how to start for a moment, as she seemed to be unable to pronounce the second-rate guy's name.
"Li Huan, what's going on?"
Qian Longkun looked at Li Huan and asked seriously.
Li Huan recounted what had happened. Everyone looked at the gauze on Cheng Qiao's head and didn't know what to say. It was too unlucky for Cheng Qiao to marry a second-rate guy despite having a disfigured face.
"Li Huan, come out with me, I have something to tell you."
Li Huan hesitated for a moment, then walked out with Qian Longkun. He walked very far and stopped almost at the stairs.
"What's going on? It's so mysterious."
"Li Huan, I think Chen Chunhua attacked Cheng Qiao because she likes you. You better be careful and don't fall into Chen Chunhua's trap."
"No way..."
"It should be. Do you remember the night when Xu Laidi set up Cheng Qiao and you? I saw it clearly. The way Chen Chunhua looked at you was full of admiration, and the way she looked at Xu Laidi was as if she wanted to eat her up."
"Thank you. Your sister also spoke up for you today. Go back and remind her to be careful. If the accountant does something bad, your sister will be in big trouble."
"I know, he doesn't dare, but I think you should seize the opportunity this time. I don't know if Cheng Qiao is willing to marry you."
"Don't worry, wait for my wedding wine."
"Well, be nice to Cheng Qiao, he's also a poor guy."
"Of course I like her."
Jiang Guangrong, who was secretly following behind, heard the conversation between the two and covered his mouth in surprise. How could Qian Longkun have any relationship with the second-rate guy when he had such a bad reputation, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
Time passed quickly and the educated youth had to go back. They were unlucky today. Except for Xiaoqin who managed to grab some egg cakes, they couldn't buy anything else and had to go back empty-handed.
Cheng Qiao's space has almost everything, but she can't just take it out casually. She rolled her eyes slightly and suggested that they keep the meat tickets. When her wound gets better, she will try her luck at the meat stall.
Zhang Yuefang quickly took out the money and tickets. It was much more convenient for Cheng Qiao to buy meat at the county hospital than for them. If he could buy some, it would really improve the food.
Xiaofang, Xiaoping and Xiaoqin also took out their money and tickets. If they couldn't buy pork, at least they could buy some bones. Of course, it would be even better if they could buy big meat buns.
Cheng Qiao looked at the money and ticket in her hand, her heart beaming with joy. She could finally take out the meat openly. Well, she couldn't take too much, so she had to take according to the amount written on the meat ticket.
Qian Longkun also gave the money and tickets to Cheng Qiao. He knew that even if Cheng Qiao couldn't buy the meat, Li Huan would definitely be able to get it back. Although Li Huan appeared to be lazy and bad in the village, he actually had some skills.
"Cheng Qiao, eat an apple first. I'm going to go out and buy you something delicious."
"Where did you get the apples?"
"I saw a nurse holding an apple in her hand. I bought it from her."
"Thank you, if you have something to do, just go out and don't worry about me."
Erliuzi smiled and nodded and left. He just found out that Chen Chunhua actually liked him secretly. How could this be possible? He didn't want Chen Chunhua to destroy his marriage with Cheng Qiao.
Therefore, the best way is to marry Chen Chunhua off. If this succeeds, then the Chen family will have to pay compensation and marry Chen Chunhua off. He can still let Chen Chunhua go, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.
The ward suddenly became quiet. Cheng Qiao had a severe headache. Fortunately, the medicine the doctor had just prescribed contained painkillers. She quickly took one and lay down.
Cheng Qiao fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, it was already noon. Suddenly, she saw a woman sitting in front of her bed. She rubbed her eyes involuntarily. Li Huan's mother came.
"Girl, you're awake. Does your head still hurt?"
"Auntie, why are you here?"
When Cheng Qiao saw Li's mother, her eyes instantly became moist. It was she who, when Cheng Qiao was at her wit's end, took out all the coffin money, sent her out of the village in the dark, and told her never to come back.
Later, he strangled Xu Laidi to death. Before jumping off the cliff, he wanted to take one last look at her, but she had already turned into ashes and was sleeping in the back mountain. He kowtowed to her several times at the edge of the cliff and then jumped down.
"My dear, I'm sorry to have wronged you. If you don't want to marry my son, it's okay. I'll talk to the people in the village. You don't have to worry."
"Aunt, I..."
Cheng Qiao didn't know what to say for a moment. If she said she wanted to get married, it would be not reserved enough. If she said she didn't want to get married, it would go against her own wish.
"Don't be anxious, girl. Listen to me. I would be very happy if you are willing to marry my son."
Mother Li glanced around and saw that Cheng Qiao was the only one in the ward, so she took out something wrapped in red cloth from her inner pocket and stuffed it into Cheng Qiao's pocket.
Cheng Qiao knew what was inside without even looking. It was a gold bracelet that had been given as a dowry by Li's mother. It was originally intended for her daughter, but now she gave it to herself.
"My girl, don't open it. This thing cannot be seen in public now, but I know it is worth some money. If you like it, just hide it. It can be regarded as a token of engagement."
"Auntie, I can't take this."
"Here, my Li Huan is not a bad person. You will know it after a while."
"Aunt, I..."
"Be obedient. If you accept it, you will be my daughter-in-law. By the way, Accountant Chen and the village chief came to see me just now and discussed with me whether I could give you 500 yuan in cash first and then write you an IOU."
"Aunt, I listen to Li Huan. I will do whatever he says."
"Girl, you..."
Mother Li's eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at Cheng Qiao. She knew very well how much her son loved Cheng Qiao, but Cheng Qiao had never looked at him straight in the eye.
Today her son finally got the chance, so after listening to her, she found the only valuable gold bracelet in the house. As long as Cheng Qiao was willing to accept it, the marriage would be almost settled.
Unexpectedly, although Cheng Qiao did not want the gold bracelet, she was willing to marry his son. It really shows that sincerity can move mountains and break stones.
"My daughter, let me tell you about the situation at home. My eldest son has joined the army and sends some money back every month. I also have a little daughter who is sixteen years old and can support herself. Although Li Huan doesn't work in the fields, he has the ability to make a living. I won't let you suffer if you marry him."
