Chapter 3 King Zhou coaxed by Daji
Sang Feiwan didn't know her aunt, so she asked someone, "I'm here to look for my aunt. Where is she?"
Fortunately, all the staff at the station knew Sang Feiwan.
After all, she came from a big city, not only was she pretty, but she was also the niece of their colleague.
"Your aunt happened to be away from the car. She's resting now."
The staff pointed her in the direction. Sang Feiwan saw a fat woman, thanked her, patted Xiao Beiming on the shoulder and asked him to come over.
When Mother Li saw Sang Feiwan and Xiao Beiming, a smile suddenly lit up her face. "Hey, Wanwan, Beiming, why are you here? Wanwan, why does she need someone to carry her? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Aunt, I'm here to get back my betrothal gift. You said you would keep it for me. Now give it to me." Sang Feiwan didn't exchange pleasantries with her and went straight to the point.
Mother Li's expression changed instantly. "How can someone ask their parents to return the betrothal gift after they get married?"
Then she looked at Xiao Beiming and said, "Beiming, is this what you and your mother meant?"
If this is admitted, the Xiao family will lose face.
Xiao Beiming didn't even know that Sang Feiwan was here to ask for the betrothal money. If he had known, he would never have brought her to meet Li's mother.
"It's not what my husband and mother-in-law wanted. It's what I wanted. The betrothal money is originally mine. Please give it to me quickly."
"You'd better stop talking to me about this and that and honestly give me the betrothal money, or I'll call the police and tell them you're selling my niece!"
There are so many top-notch people in the book, and all of them are the best at quarreling.
Sang Feiwan was afraid that Li's mother would start crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, so she took the initiative.
Li's mother continued to cry, "What are you talking about, little girl? Let's ask everyone to judge for justice. Your uncle and I provided you with food and drink, and yet you brought revenge upon us. Instead of giving us the betrothal money as a reward, you even called the police and sent me to jail!"
"Your uncle and I love you so much, how could you be so heartless?!"
Sang Feiwan retorted, "You have a conscience. My mother died, but instead of sending me home, you asked me to get married and even asked the Xiao family for a sky-high bride price to buy a house!"
All those who were attracted by Li's mother's crying and shouting immediately stood on Sang Feiwan's side.
Someone also said, "Li Meiyan, your family's house was bought with the Xiao family's betrothal gift. No wonder I was wondering how your family could afford to buy a house."
"How much does this house cost? Oh my God, who would dare to ask for such a high price?"
The most the bride price in this era was some rice and flour, a few dozen yuan, and three turns and a ring.
No one wants a dowry to buy a house.
Sang Feiwan urged her again, "Hurry up and give me the money! Otherwise I'll call the police, and not only will you have to return the money but you'll also have to go to jail!"
No matter how reluctant Mrs. Li was, she had to give the money.
Although Sang Feiwan was a bit of a spoiled brat and had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with, she never asked about money and didn't care about it at all.
Moreover, this girl also wanted to save face. She cried poor and said that this girl was eating for free at her house, and every time she could make her obedient and submissive. It was in this way that she morally blackmailed this girl into marrying Xiao Beiming.
She never thought that Sang Feiwan would come back to ask her for the money.
That's why she immediately used the money to buy a house so that her family could work in town.
Mother Li took out all the money from her pocket and handed it to Sang Feiwan.
"It's just over a hundred yuan. Are you giving it to a beggar?!" Sang Feiwan said with disdain when he saw such a small amount of money.
Li's mother complained bitterly, "This is all the money I have. After buying the house, all the remaining money is here."
"Who are you kidding!"
“It’s true!”
"When will your salary be paid?" Sang Feiwan asked again.
"This month's twenty dollars was just paid yesterday, and I've given it all to you."
Sang Feiwan: “…”
The monthly salary of twenty yuan shocked her again.
But she still didn't believe that Li's mother only had this one hundred yuan. "Give me the bag on you."
"This won't do! This is the money I earned from selling tickets. The money that needs to be handed over is not mine!" Li's mother said quickly.
Sang Feiwan glanced at her again and said, "Give me the silver bracelet and silver earrings on your hand as well."
"Also, give me your scarf. Jacket, shoes, water cup. Don't take the water cup."
Her search was like a swarm of locusts, leaving Li's mother completely naked.
If we weren't outside, she would even ask for pants.
She thought of taking them all back. The Xiao family was so poor, and Old Madam Ma was wearing tattered clothes. Giving these clothes to Old Madam Ma would be like compensation for her Pueraria root.
"Okay. Then give me the rest of the money as soon as possible. Don't wait for me to come to your house to ask for it." Sang Feiwan said to Li Meiyan, and patted Xiao Beiming's shoulder. "Hubby, hurry up and grab your things. Let's go."
"husband?!"
Xiao Beiming was stunned by Sang Feiwan's call of "husband" just now, and he was finally brought back to his senses after being called several times in a row.
But he still felt as if he was dreaming.
His wife actually called him husband!
It is a rare thing that his wife does not despise him and says that he is black, ugly, shabby and uneducated.
He was already thankful that she didn't quarrel or make a fuss or mention divorcing him, but now she was calling him hubby. With her sweet little voice, she sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child even when she was scolding people, and now calling him hubby made him feel like he was drinking honey.
"Husband, what are you thinking about? It's time for us to go home." Sang Feiwan pinched his ear and reminded him in a low voice.
Xiao Beiming's ears suddenly turned red and his whole body felt hot.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Beiming responded, carried her steadily on his back, picked up her clothes and shoes and took her away.
Seeing this, Sang Feiwan blew on his neck again, "Hubby, are you really not going to take me back to the army with you?"
"Can you bear to be separated from me and not see me every day?"
"How can you bear to leave a delicate wife like me, who is lazy, doesn't know how to distinguish grains, and can't do any work, at home to be bullied by my mother-in-law and my two younger brothers?"
As long as she doesn't have to work hard, she can be seduced. Anyway, she has slept with Xiao Beiming, and this body is not hers.
However, this book is a fantasy about her, and she is written as a villain. Her appearance is based on her, so this body looks exactly like her in real life.
"Husband, please say something, husband..."
"What do you want me to say?"
Xiao Beiming's Adam's apple kept rolling, and he was so itchy because of her that his mind went blank and he didn't hear clearly what she said.
"I want to go back to the army with you. Can you take me back with you?" Sang Feiwan said in his ear.
Xiao Beiming was already confused, just like King Zhou being coaxed by Daji, willing to agree to anything she asked.
"Yeah, okay."
Then he lowered his voice again and reminded her, "Behave yourself! You're still outside."
Xiao Beiming is a little rough, but he is still a good person and knows how to care for others.
I carried her on my back and put her on the bicycle. When I saw her moving around, I asked her, "Did you hurt your butt or were you bitten by a bug?"
"Butt pad..."
"Squeamish. Then I'll go buy you a cushion."
Sang Feiwan looked at him with starry eyes. "I knew you married me to love me and take care of me. I made the right choice by marrying you. You are such a good husband. I am so happy."
Xiao Beiming immediately said, "Buying a cushion is nothing. If you want anything in the future, just tell me directly. I'm an old man used to being rough around the edges. I don't know how to support a wife like you without being careful."
"If you talk to me like this from now on, I will do whatever you want."
His eyes fell on her face, with some inquiry.
He always felt that there was something strange about her.
Not only did she suddenly become willing to be close to him, but she also stopped losing her temper and was even willing to light the fire at home.
Although she still didn't want to work, she was indeed right.
Moreover, the bicycle seat cushioned her butt, which made it uncomfortable for her delicate skin. However, she didn't complain at all on the way to the town.
It seems that she should lose her temper and scold him, despise the broken bicycle and be unwilling to ride it.
But she didn't curse or lose her temper, she even praised him.
"Then, husband, can you let me drive a car and live without doing any work in the future?" Sang Feiwan asked him.
Xiao Beiming told her, "To reach the level where I can get a car, I have to move up two levels. Originally, if I just kept doing nothing wrong, I could have been promoted again within two years, but I suddenly took leave for you, and I will be punished when I return."
In the original book, Sang Feiwan had to take the blame for all the wrong things she did.
Sang Feiwan felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "Let's go buy some cushions."
Next to the town’s vegetable market is the farmers’ market.
There are cushions for sale inside.
Although the money in Sang Feiwan's hand was only a little over a hundred yuan, its purchasing power was very good, and he also had some food coupons and meat coupons.
The meat ticket is for five catties, but in addition to the meat ticket, you also need to pay one yuan, twenty-three yuan per catty.
Sang Feiwan didn't buy the cushion first, but set her eyes on the meat and vegetables.
She hasn't eaten yet. She knows that the Xiao family is very poor and can't afford meat.
So she bought it.
After buying the meat, I also bought some vegetables. The green vegetables were five cents a pound.
"You carry the vegetables." After Xiao Beiming hung the pork on the cart, the vegetables were difficult to hang, so he handed them to Sang Feiwan.
Sang Feiwan didn't want to take it. "There's so much mud. Let's buy the basket that others are carrying."
The lady selling vegetables looked at Sang Feiwan speechlessly. Who would buy a basket when buying vegetables?
But Xiao Beiming didn't think anything of it. He thought his wife was right, so he went to buy another basket.
In those days, shopping bags were not provided for buying vegetables, so people had to carry bamboo baskets when buying vegetables.
Xiao Beiming did as he was told and went to buy a basket of vegetables.
Then he bought some vegetables such as tofu, bean cakes and vermicelli. Xiao Beiming hung up basically everything that could be hung, and only put the ones that could not be hung in the vegetable basket.
Sang Feiwan didn't allow tofu, bean cakes and green vegetables to be put in the same basket, so Xiao Beiming bought another vegetable basket.
These two baskets containing vegetables were also placed on the handlebars of the bicycle by Xiao Beiming.
The clothes and shoes that Xiao Beiming asked for from Li's mother were also tied and hung on the big pole.
There was a lot of stuff hanging in the front, leaving no space at all, and Sang Feiwan sat comfortably in the back.
