Li Song was stunned and glared at him coldly, "Who are you?"
Huang Kang: “…”
Huang Kang was furious. "I am Yuan Xiang's childhood sweetheart. We have known each other since childhood and know each other very well. You stole my wife! If you know what's good for you, give her back to me!"
Li Song looked down at him and sneered, "Fool."
After making a sarcastic remark, he walked towards the Yuan family.
"What did you say--" Huang Kang was so angry that he reached out to grab the back of Li Song's collar. Before he could touch him, Li Song grabbed his wrist and twisted it with his backhand.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Huang Kang cried out in pain, his face turned pale, and he leaned over, not daring to exert force in the opposite direction. He kept saying, "Let go, let go, my arm is broken..."
Li Song let go and gave a heavy push, causing Huang Kang to stumble back.
"roll."
He ignored this strange man and turned into the Yuan family's yard.
Before the Yuan family could react, the new son-in-law had already dealt with the bad guy who was causing trouble.
Afraid that Li Song would feel uncomfortable, he explained a few things about the Huang family.
Li Song: "...I didn't think much about it. I knew everything that happened before. Comrade Yuan told me. I don't mind that she was engaged before. It wasn't her fault that she got rejected. It won't affect our family."
After hearing this, the Yuan family members felt relieved, especially Aunt Song, who was so happy that her eyes were hot but her chest was held high.
She said, a blessed woman will not enter the door of an unblessed person.
Rolling her eyes at the Huang family with disdain, Aunt Song snorted coldly, "Don't be too satisfied when looking at your new son-in-law. Good job, your son-in-law has not been influenced by bad people."
"...Don't worry about that mess, let's go home."
He greeted his son-in-law, and seeing the villagers were in a daze, he said unhappily, "Why are you standing there? Let's have fun as we should. No one is allowed to make trouble for me today. Eat the candy and everyone will have a sweet mouth."
She was reluctant to give up the candies, but they were prepared by her son-in-law, and he brought honor to her family. As the bride's mother, she certainly would not embarrass her child, and the engagement ceremony had to be beautiful.
The adults wanted to save the candy for the children and put it in their pockets, but the children were not so particular and had already started eating it, with their cheeks slightly puffed up. They didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the sweetness in their mouths would fly away.
"Sweet, right?" Aunt Song smiled at the skinny and dark-skinned children and said, "If it is sweet, when my daughter Xiangxiang gets married, you can say a few more auspicious words, so that my daughter's future life will be as sweet as candy."
The children are all smart. They will get candies when they are engaged, and they will definitely get candies when they get married. Their eyes are bright and they will immediately pat their chests in confidence.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Leave it to us."
"I can ask right now, can you give me an extra candy?"
"Is there any candy for saying auspicious words?"
"I wish Sister Xiangxiang a happy engagement, a happy marriage and a bright future." Some of the lucky drawers have already started saying auspicious words.
Aunt Song laughed so hard that her cheeks became sore.
The villagers crowded into the Yuan family's yard, complimenting the Yuan family and saying all nice things. Old Yuan straightened his back and felt that his yard was still too small.
Yuan family: “…”
Decorate the house festively.
Lin Zhao saw Yuan Xiang wearing new clothes, her hair was combed neatly, she had a plastic red flower on her hair, her cheeks were rosy and she had put on makeup.
"...Zhao Zhao, you're here." Yuan Xiang said with a red face.
"Sister Xiangxiang looks really energetic and beautiful today," Lin Zhao praised after sitting down.
Before Yuan Xiang could say anything, her cousin squeezed in front of Lin Zhao and stared at the clothes she was wearing with a twinkling look in her eyes. "Sister, where did you buy your clothes? They are so beautiful."
"...I made it myself." Lin Zhao said perfunctorily. She really didn't like the look in this girl's eyes.
"Ah?" The little girl covered her mouth and tried to make a cute surprised expression, but her eyes were too lively. "Sister, you are so skillful. My mother won't let me do it."
Yuan Xiang said in a nonchalant tone, "It's because your family is short of fabric."
"..." The little girl couldn't hold back her expression and pretended to be annoyed: "Sister Xiangxiang!"
Yuan Xiang didn't want to bring bad luck on such a happy day, so he stopped saying anything unpleasant and started talking to Lin Zhao.
Seeing her cold face, the little girl was unhappy and left with a pout.
"Is that your cousin?" Lin Zhao asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Yuan Xiang smiled embarrassedly, "Children like to compare with each other, and sometimes their words are harsh. Zhao Zhao, ignore them. If she feels uncomfortable in front of you, tell me and I will scold her."
She is the eldest girl in the Yuan family. She has always given in to her younger brothers and sisters and usually doesn't argue with them. However, ever since she discovered that some people don't deserve to be treated well, she says whatever she wants. This makes her feel happy. She sees the sky as blue and the water as clear, and she feels comfortable in every way.
Lin Zhao raised her eyebrows.
Sister Xiangxiang has changed a lot.
Yuan Xiang saw her confusion and said with a smile: "I used to think that my broken engagement would implicate my sisters at home. They would say bad things, but I would endure it as much as I could to avoid making things difficult for my mother. Who knew..."
She paused, "I've figured it out. People can't be too humble."
It will make people take advantage of you.
Lin Zhao patted Yuan Xiang's arm and gave her a look of great approval, "You are right to think so."
Yuan Xiang smiled brightly, "Well, this is what I learned from you. It makes people feel refreshed."
"There are still many things worth learning from me. Sister Xiangxiang, feel free to learn. I'm not stingy." Lin Zhao straightened the red flower in Yuanxiang's hair and pinned an exquisite star brooch on her chest.
Yuan Xiang looked down, "What is this?"
"It's just a brooch, a simple accessory. Do you like it?" Lin Zhao glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction. She had a good eye. The first time she saw the brooch, she felt that it suited Yuan Xiang.
"It's expensive, right?" Yuan Xiang gently stroked the star, his eyes lit up by the starlight.
"It's not appropriate to say this. No matter how expensive it is, it's just a gift now." Lin Zhao spoke softly.
"...Thank you Zhaozhao." Yuan Xiang said with a smile.
The engagement ceremony presented by the Lin and Song families brought great honor to Yuan Xiang and the Yuan family. Aunt Song was beaming with joy and couldn't stop smiling.
See, this is the benefit of having capable people in your mother's family.
Today is just an engagement, so we haven't prepared any banquet. After all, it would cost too much and it's hard for a land-digger to afford it.
The Yuan family is a simple family and would not do anything to show off, so they asked the chef to cook a big pot of food.
The dishes were sent by each household in the village. The family bought a lot of tofu and vermicelli. There were many large slices of meat in the dishes. The meat was bought by Li Song and sent to them. Everyone could eat several slices. Everyone was very satisfied, even more satisfied than at a banquet.
You don’t necessarily get to eat so much meat even at a banquet.
Even the twins who were used to eating good food liked it. They sat on small stools with the children in the village and ate without even raising their heads.
Seeing Hengbao eating the carrots that he usually didn't like to eat, Lin Zhao couldn't help but smile.
The second kid is so delicious.
Lin Shichang: "What are you laughing at?"
"Yubao and Hengbao were thinking about the feast, but they didn't get to eat today. I was really afraid that Hengbao would cry out and bring shame to the Yuan family, but I didn't expect him to endure it and just pout unhappily.
I thought he would get mad and refuse to eat it, but he smiled after just one bite and seemed to like it very much."
Why didn’t I mention Yubao? Because my brother has high emotional intelligence, speaks in a reserved manner, and never says anything that would embarrass others.
Lin Zhao tasted the tofu in the big pot and found it tasted really special. After eating one piece, she wanted to have a second piece.
"The big pot dishes are better than the banquet noodles," said Lin Shichang. "They have never eaten them before, so they are curious. They will know when they taste them. My nephew is young, but he is not stupid."
Lin Zhao: “…”
…
Harvest Brigade.
Gu Chan appeared at the entrance of the village with a pale face.
She stopped at the door of the third room of the Gu family and saw an iron lock hanging in the middle of the door. Her legs lost their strength and her body fell down.
Kneel on the ground.
"Achan?" Wang Chunhua was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Gu Chan, then she walked over to help her, "What's wrong?"
He glanced at the lock on the Gu family's door and said hurriedly, "Yu Bao's mother has taken her four children to a banquet. Her cousin is getting engaged today."
"Are you okay? Why don't you come to my house and sit down?"
Gu Chan's face was pale, her lips were cracked and peeling, and her eyes were lifeless. She held her breath and came to ask for help. When she saw the lock, she lost all strength in her body. Now she could only stand up with the help of Wang Chunhua.
"Auntie, please take me home."
Wang Chunhua didn't know what had happened to Gu Chan, so she did whatever she wanted and called her daughter-in-law to help her send Gu Chan to the Gu family's old house.
"Mother Chenghuai!"
When Gu's mother heard the sound, she went out and saw Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supporting their eldest daughter and walking forward quickly.
"A-Chan, what happened to you? Did you fall? Where did you fall? Are you okay? Why do you need someone to help you? Sit down first, let me take a look..."
The sound is very loud.
The other members of the Gu family came out of the house one after another.
"Mom, I'm fine, I just fell on the road." Gu Chan shook her head, her fingers digging into her palms, and she looked at her family nervously, her heart hanging high, her voice trembling, "Mom, I want to, I want to borrow money, is there any at home?"
She was already married, and the Gu family had prepared a dowry for her. The division of the family had nothing to do with her. Gu's father and mother thought it was not a big deal, and did not ask anyone to tell her.
"Borrow money? There's no money at home!" Gu Xing'er was afraid that Gu Chan would borrow her dowry money, so she looked alert and spoke in a bad tone.
"My family just split up, and my parents don't even have a hundred yuan, and they still need to prepare a dowry for me. What should I do if they lend it to you? Big sister, don't be too selfish. You are like spilled water, don't come home all the time..."
Her words became more and more outrageous. Gu Chan lowered her head and pursed her lips without saying a word, her eyes filled with mist.
Gu Xing'er's words showed no sisterly love at all. Mother Gu was so angry that she swung her arm and slapped Gu Xing'er in the face.
This time he mixed in anger and used all his strength.
Five finger marks appeared on her fair face.
"Get out of here!" Mother Gu's face flushed, her eyes were also red, full of disappointment and heartache, "Achan is your biological sister, what happened to her, why did you borrow money... You didn't even ask, you only care about your dowry, why did I give birth to such a heartless bastard like you, get out of here, go wherever you want, get out as far as possible."
Gu Xing'er covered her burning face and said, "Go away if you want. I don't want to have a mother like you!"
After saying this, he glared at Gu's mother hatefully, went back to his room to pack his things, and then rushed out of the house.
Gu Yucheng pretended to chase after her, but was stopped by his mother.
"Don't worry about her! Let her do whatever she wants! Your father and I will just pretend that we never had her!"
What she didn't know was that after Gu Xing'er got out, she went to the newspaper in anger and published a statement severing ties with the Gu family.
Zhao Liuniang held the man's arm and whispered, "Listen to me."
Gu Yucheng didn't really want to chase her, so he pretended to be embarrassed and stayed.
Gu Chan: (??w???‖)?
Mother Gu sat next to Gu Chan and looked at her sideways. "Ah Chan, how much do you want to borrow? Your father and I don't have much money on hand, but we can give you 80. Is that enough?"
"...Not enough." Gu Chan said with shame on her face, "Xiangdong was injured, very seriously, and is still in the county hospital. The doctor said that it would cost more than 400 yuan to cure him. I took out all the money in my family, and it was only a little over 100 yuan. My parents-in-law added 35 yuan, so I still have a lot to go. I can only come back to borrow..."
When Mother Gu heard that her son-in-law was seriously injured, her face changed and she guessed, "Did Xiangdong go deep into the mountains?"
"No." Gu Chan complained in her heart. Even though she felt that her emotions were wrong, she couldn't help but complain, "... to save people."
The person we rescued in the mountains was hit by a wild boar and almost died when he was brought down the mountain.
What's hateful is.
The rescued man was taken away by his family, who didn't even say thank you, let alone pay for the medical expenses.
It's really not worth it.
Gu Chan feels sorry for her husband.
Mother Gu couldn't say that her son-in-law's behavior of saving people was wrong, so she sighed and went into the house to get the money.
After coming out, he looked at Gu Qingzhou and said, "Qingzhou, you still have a few years to get married, so I'll lend the money to your elder sister first. Your elder sister and your brother-in-law are both hardworking people. As long as we get through this difficult time, they will pay it back."
If you can't get through it... you can't get through it!
"Lend it if you want. I'm not Gu Xing'er. I don't care about these things." Gu Qingzhou mocked Gu Xing'er, turned and went into his room, took out the fifty yuan he got from the division of the family property and the two yuan he saved, a total of fifty-two yuan, and stuffed them into Gu Chan's hand.
"Sister, take it. Brother-in-law's injury is important. It can be returned anytime. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Gu Qingzhou comforted.
Gu Chan moved her lips a few times but couldn't utter a word.
She sniffed hard, wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Why do I feel like Qingzhou has grown up suddenly... In my memory, he is still the quiet kid who always works honestly. He can always tell me not to put too much pressure on myself..." Gu Chan's voice was choked, as if there was a ball of cotton in her throat.
Father Gu patted his oldest son on the shoulder and said proudly, "Qingzhou has grown into a man. Well done, my son."
Cough...Gu Qingzhou blushed.
When Gu Yucheng came out from his room to get the money, he heard this and said sourly, "What about me? Dad, I am also your son."
Without waiting for Gu's father to answer, he gave the second house's division money to Gu Chan.
"Fifty dollars, pay it back slowly. We have food and shelter, so we don't need the money urgently."
Gu Chan couldn't afford to spend the money because Gu Yucheng already had a family and their property had been divided. She was afraid that Zhao Liuniang would quarrel with him if she took the money.
Zhao Liuniang knew what her sister-in-law was hesitating about after a quick thought, so she helped Gu Yucheng.
"Take it. I trust you when I lend you the money. You are not Gu Xing'er. If you were Gu Xing'er, I wouldn't lend you even a dime, let alone fifty dollars." Zhao Liuniang said frankly.
Gu Chan saw that she was sincere in lending it to him, so she accepted it.
Take out paper and pen, write down the IOUs, and hand them to the "creditors" one by one.
Her husband was still in the hospital and the money she borrowed was enough for the time being, so she didn't delay any longer. Her father and mother were worried, so they asked Gu Yucheng to send her off.
Lin Zhao was afraid that the old house would need the bicycle, so before leaving, she asked Bangbang to push the bicycle to the old house, where it would come in handy.
