Chapter 30: Live a Good Life with the Little Ruffian
The farce ended with Cheng Qiao's counterattack. No one dared to say anything sarcastic to Li's mother anymore, especially Aunt Daya. She was really worried that Cheng Qiao would not marry a second-rate guy.
Although this damn girl was embraced by the second-rate guy, if she insisted on not getting married, no one could do anything to her. But the second-rate guy might as well chop her up.
You have to know that Cheng Qiao is not only good-looking, but also has a huge sum of 300 yuan in compensation given to her by Chen Weimin. With this 300 yuan, the second-rate guy's family might even be able to build a house.
The village women all looked at Cheng Qiao secretly. She stuffed the sorghum steamed buns with yellow residue into the hands of Li Le and Li's mother. She also took one for herself and started eating it with the cabbage fried with lard.
When Li's mother saw that it was sorghum steamed buns, her nervous heart settled down. They already had cabbage fried with lard, and if they got a big meat steamed bun or a big white steamed bun, they would not be able to live in peace.
But when the sorghum bun was put into her mouth, Mother Li was stunned for a moment, and Li Le also covered his mouth. This bun looked like coarse grain, but it definitely tasted like fine grain.
"Cheng Qiao, don't be so wasteful."
Mother Li wanted to say something, but when she thought about how this child was also filial to her, she could not utter a word of blame. She just kept stuffing the sorghum buns into Cheng Qiao's hands.
In the eyes of others, Mother Li was really bad. Her daughter Li Le had been eating cabbage fried with lard, while Li Le could only eat sorghum buns.
Cheng Qiaocai ignored those village women who were flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. She just smiled and told Li's mother that she would bring mung bean soup in the afternoon, and Li should not be stupid enough to let others take it for free.
Li Le patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of the mung bean soup. Cheng Qiao took a look at the bamboo tubes they used to hold water, and then she felt that she should buy a few military water bottles, but such good things were generally not available.
"Cheng Qiao, go back quickly. Look at the weather now. Although the temperature is not high, it is hot and your head is still injured. Go back and have a good sleep."
A quarter of an hour later, Li's mother put away the lunch box and prepared to go home to wash it, but Cheng Qiao had already put it into his cloth bag. She had to take it back, otherwise she would have nothing to eat tomorrow.
Watching Cheng Qiao leave, Li's mother felt very relieved. It was said that educated youth were children from the city who were spoiled and could not endure hardships, but Cheng Qiao was different. She was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Cheng Qiao returned to the educated youth point, locked the dormitory door and entered the space. He first washed the lunch box and chopsticks with hot water, then went into the bathroom, wrapped his head with a plastic bag, and turned on the faucet to rinse.
After staying in the hospital for two days and not having a chance to take a shower yesterday, Cheng Qiao felt itchy all over. After taking a shower, she felt relaxed all over and fell asleep directly on the big bed in the space.
After waking up, Cheng Qiao took the dirty clothes out of the space, came to the wheel well in the yard, soaked the clothes in a wooden basin, and went to the kitchen to cook mung bean soup.
Previously, Cheng Qiao always felt that she had forgotten something, but now she finally remembered it. She was going to go to Uncle Niu to order some boxes and wooden basins, so that she would have a place to store her clothes when she married into the Li family.
First, I washed the clothes and hung them on the rope. Then I added some white sugar to the cooked mung bean soup and poured it into a teacup. Then I took a bamboo basket and ran to the ridge of the field.
When Li's mother saw Cheng Qiao's shadow, she quickly asked Li Le to go and take it. There were corn leaves everywhere and it would be bad if the skin was scratched.
Cheng Qiao gave the basket to Li Le, said a few words and ran to Uncle Niu's house. She happened to see Li Huan squatting in the yard, talking to Uncle Niu.
"Cheng Qiao, why are you here? Does your wound still hurt?"
"Not bad, I'm here to order some boxes and cabinets from Uncle Niu, so I can store my clothes and stuff there."
"I've already made up my mind, but..."
When Cheng Qiao saw Li Huan secretly making a money gesture, she couldn't help but laugh. This laugh revealed two dimples on the corners of her mouth, which immediately made Li Huan distracted.
“Cough… cough…”
Uncle Niu coughed a few times and called back Li Huan's soul. Li Huan looked at Uncle Niu with dissatisfaction. The old man just didn't understand the young people's thoughts.
"A large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, two large wooden boxes, a large bathtub, two small wooden barrels, and a large and small wooden basin. Thirty dollars for that."
Cheng Qiao quickly took out three ten-yuan bills from his cloth bag and handed them to Uncle Niu. Uncle Niu took the money, looked at Cheng Qiao meaningfully and said, "Don't judge things by appearances. Live a good life with this little ruffian."
Li Huan: “…￥%…”
Thank you, little rascal.
Cheng Qiao smiled, nodded seriously, and prepared to leave. Li Huan hurriedly followed her. He would first send Cheng Qiao back to the educated youth site, and then he would have to integrate the house, otherwise Cheng Qiao would be disappointed when she married into the family.
"Cheng Qiao, I'll take you back. You should have a good rest during this period of time and don't come out again."
He also got the news about what happened at noon. Although his mother was a little weak, Li Le was a little cannon and would protect her.
Although Li Le is young, the villagers only dare to argue with her verbally, and few of them dare to bully her physically, otherwise his fists will make them regret it.
"Brother Li, I want to congratulate you on your wedding."
Li Huan and Cheng Qiao stopped when they heard the voice, and looked up to see that it was Chen Dazhui. Chen Dazhui glanced at Chen Qiao with lustful eyes, and quickly lowered his eyes.
A gleam of hatred flashed in Cheng Qiao's eyes, then disappeared in a flash.
"Dazhu, where are you going?"
"The village chief asked me to help a few educated youths, saying that they were too slow."
"The slowest one must be Xu Laidi."
Cheng Qiao suddenly said, Li Huan's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Chen Dazhu looked honest and easy to bully, but in fact he grew up under the abuse of his stepmother and his mentality was extremely twisted.
"Brother Dazhu, Xu Laidi used to be a good friend of my wife, but they fell out over a small matter. Everything will be fine after a while. Why don't you go and help her?"
Chen Dazhu nodded. To be honest, he was unwilling to cooperate with the educated youth. They were all like weaklings, incapable of working and the most cunning and dishonest.
But now that Li Huan had spoken, he still had to go and take a look. He had just taken two steps when Cheng Qiao's clear and pleasant voice came from behind him:
"Li Huan, I promised my younger sister that I would give her a 100 yuan gift when she gets married."
"There are so many. Don't let others laugh at you when you can't take them out."
"I just got three hundred dollars, and I only spent fifty dollars on some dowry. I can still afford a hundred dollars."
"Okay, it's your money, you decide."
Chen Dazhui slowed down his pace, and when he arrived at where the educated youth were working, he couldn't help but sigh. This Xu Laidie was not here to work, he was here to make trouble.
