My name is Wu Lanhua, and I am the luckiest woman in the world.
When I was young, a fortune teller who was almost starving came to my house. My mother gave him two sweet potatoes, and he calculated with his fingers and said that I would have an extraordinary destiny in the future and was born to enjoy happiness.
How could feudalism and superstition be tolerated in those days? But my parents believed in it, and raised me like a treasure. They rarely let me do any rough or heavy work. On weekdays, they only let me cook for my father and brothers who worked in the fields.
The heaviest job I was assigned was probably helping to collect grass for the pigs.
Moreover, I could often go out with my mother to buy things for the household, and I even had red hairbands that my sisters at home didn't have.
My parents really spoiled me when I was growing up.
When we were young, a group of sisters in my family discussed together what kind of partner we should find in the future.
Some say find someone who can work, some say find someone who comes from a wealthy family, and some say find someone who has many brothers.
I was the only one who was spoiled too much by my parents. I said confidently, "When I grow up, I will definitely find the most handsome man in the whole commune as my partner."
They all laughed at me and said I didn't know how to live.
Humph, just wait and see. Fortune tellers say that I am born to enjoy a good life.
When I followed my mother to the commune, I often looked around, mainly to find good-looking men.
My man, I can lose a little in other aspects, but I can’t lose my face!
The day I met Pei Qingyang was a sunny afternoon. I was wearing my bra and buying popsicles at the supply and marketing cooperative.
He just appeared in front of me, peeled off a candy wrapper, threw the candy into the air, and put it in his mouth with his head tilted back.
What a handsome man!
I couldn't take my eyes off his face. I followed him all the way, looking at his back with his hands in his pockets. I felt particularly obsessed.
This is the man! I like this man!
I followed him all the way. The brigade where he lived was so far away from the commune. I had never walked so far before. Our home was in the brigade, which was very close to the commune.
Before I knew it, I followed him to his house, but I felt my face was bruised and I felt so wronged.
When he was about to enter the house, I called out to him, "Hey, comrade."
He looked back at me, now looking at him from what I thought was a pretty angle.
But according to him, I was covered in dirt when he first saw me. It was only after he sent me home and washed my face that he realized I was actually quite pretty.
Yes, that's right, he took me home that day.
And when he knew that my feet were rubbed, he went to the captain's house to get a bicycle to take me home.
Their team leader's family was really well off, as he had a bicycle so early on.
When he sent me home, he told me: "In fact, not everyone in our brigade walked to the commune. We had a bullock cart. Usually, we could take a ride for two cents, and four cents for a round trip."
So he walked back from the commune just to save those two cents? He is really a hardworking and good man who knows how to live.
I was even more satisfied with him and wrote down his name.
It turns out his name is Pei Qingyang. Even his name is so nice, I like him even more.
After he sent me home, I asked my mother to keep him to drink some tea and eat some fruit.
I tidied myself up and changed my clothes before coming out to meet him.
Because it was getting dark, my parents asked him to stay here, sharing a room with my brother. After looking at the sky outside, they agreed.
He got up at dawn the next day. He is so hardworking! He must be a good worker!
At my request, he took me to the commune for a ride on his bicycle, bought me a soda, and when he sent me home, he asked me if I wanted to date him.
I’d like to do it a hundred times or a thousand times!
I agreed to him at that time.
After that day, he came to our team every few days to ask me to go to the commune to play.
My parents also asked him, isn’t the family busy?
He said his mother knew he was dating someone, so she allowed him to go out more often. As for going to work, he has four brothers in his family.
Except for the fourth brother who went to the army, the other two are older brothers and are very capable.
When my parents heard that he had four brothers and one of them was serving in the army, they were even more satisfied.
Later, when we talked about the bride price, my parents didn't have any requirements and just asked his family to give a symbolic amount.
As for the dowry, my parents gave me one hundred yuan, saying that it was my dowry money, and that if I had a hard time in the future I could go back to my parents' home and tell them.
Although I don’t have many brothers, I won’t let anyone bully me.
I was so moved when I got married.
Before I even entered the house, Yang Zi asked me for 80 yuan. Out of absolute trust in him, I gave it to him. After getting married, we are husband and wife, so what can't I give?
When I knew why he asked me for eighty yuan, my admiration for him reached its peak. He is so awesome.
The next morning, my mother-in-law came and rummaged through the box I brought from my parents' home and took away the only twenty yuan left.
He was still mumbling, "It doesn't matter if their family is selling their daughter, as long as the money is returned."
So this was the reason why Yang Zi took the money. I felt a little dissatisfied with the mother-in-law, but she was Yang Zi's biological mother after all, so I didn't say much.
That night, Yang Zi said to me, "My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law both went through this. I know that mother will definitely go through your box. Let's not talk about her. If she bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will naturally find a way to help you get revenge."
