When Li Xiyue learned that Li Bowen died on the farm, she felt a sense of relief in her heart. Finally, the four members of that family had gone to hell.
As a family, we should be together.
Now that her revenge was achieved, Li Xiyue no longer had any worries in her heart. She treated villagers in the village every day, went to the county to sell grain every now and then to make money, and had a sweet love affair with Chu Xun. Her life was so comfortable.
That day, Li Xiyue was preparing medicinal herbs in the yard while listening to Erniu reciting.
Erniu really has a talent for studying medicine. She has recognized all the medicinal herbs in just a few months. Li Xiyue also asked her to teach her and memorize the effects of all the herbs. She was taught five herbs every day, and she has memorized hundreds of them.
There was a sudden commotion outside the yard. Li Xiyue wondered what was going on. Just as she was about to get up to check, she saw Xu Jianmin walk in. She was pleasantly surprised, "Uncle Jianmin, is your leg healed?"
"Okay, I'm standing up." Xu Jianmin came to Li Xiyue, followed by Xu Xiangyang, Gao Xiulan, and the villagers who followed him after seeing that Xu Jianmin's leg had recovered.
Uncle Xu Liu, who was in the pharmacy, also came out, very excited, "Great, great, Jianmin's leg is finally healed."
"Dr. Li, thank you. You are my great benefactor. I will never forget this kindness in my life." Xu Jianmin said excitedly.
If Li Xiyue hadn't scolded him to wake him up, he would still be hiding in the house. If Li Xiyue hadn't healed his leg, he would have been a cripple for the rest of his life and would never be able to stand up with dignity again.
Xu Xiangyang was carrying large and small bags of chicken, duck, fish, meat, candy, and cakes. "Doctor Li, this is a thank you gift for you."
Li Xiyue felt a little embarrassed when she saw so many things, "This gift is too heavy."
"It's not heavy. You saved my uncle. What does this little thing mean to you?" Xu Xiangyang put the things on the table in the yard.
Xu Jianmin glanced at Gao Xiulan behind him and said, "Doctor Li, we have another matter today that we would like you to bear witness to."
"What's the matter?" Li Xiyue asked.
Xu Jianmin turned to Gao Xiulan and knelt down on one knee, "Xiulan, please marry me."
His actions shocked everyone, including Li Xiyue.
People of this era still had relatively feudal ideas. It was rare for a man to kneel down to propose to a woman. It could be seen in the city, but in the countryside, this was definitely the first time.
"Jianmin, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Gao Xiulan was surprised at first, but then realized that his kneeling was too serious, so she hurried to pull him up.
Xu Jianmin refused to get up and held her hand, "Xiu Lan, listen to me."
Gao Xiulan looked at the growing crowd of onlookers and felt a little embarrassed. Li Xiyue came over and comforted her, "Don't worry, listen to Uncle Jianmin."
With Li Xiyue's encouragement, Gao Xiulan calmed down a little.
Xu Jianmin said: "Four years ago, I fell down, and you came to my side regardless of everything. No matter what happened, you never left me and firmly chose to be with me. Now, I have finally stood up. I want to propose to you in front of everyone. Xiulan, you are the best woman in the world. I, Xu Jianmin, will never let you down in this life!"
"Brother Jianmin..." Gao Xiulan was so moved that she cried.
Gao Xiuzhi also cried. Her sister's efforts and hard work over the years were not in vain. She finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
"This is a good thing, why are you crying?" Xu Jianhua pinched his wife's hand to comfort her.
Gao Xiuzhi said: "I cried because I was happy. My little sister finally made it."
Xu Jianhua sighed heavily, "Yeah, it's really not easy."
Xu Jianmin looked at Gao Xiulan, who was crying, and continued, "Xiulan, you have worked hard these past few years. For the rest of my life, I will definitely make it up to you and let you live a good life. Xiulan, please marry me, okay?"
"Marry him!" Huang Xinrui in the crowd started.
Everyone immediately started to cheer, "Marry him, marry him!"
Li Xiyue also shouted: "Sister Xiulan, please agree to it quickly."
"Yes, Sister Xiulan, please agree to your uncle quickly." Xu Xiangyang also said.
Gao Xiulan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I promise you."
"Good!" There was thunderous applause all around.
Xu Jianmin stood up and hugged Gao Xiulan, "Wife!"
"Hey!" Gao Xiulan responded, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. She had waited too long for this title of daughter-in-law.
All the sadness and bitterness of the past were washed away by the joy of this moment. In her heart, there was only the joy of finally getting what she wanted after suffering, nothing else.
Xu Jianmin and Gao Xiulan were both not young anymore, and they had wasted years. Not wanting to waste any more time, the Xu family immediately took a generous gift to the Gao family to propose marriage, and took the initiative to give the Gao family a betrothal gift of 88, as well as three turns and one ring.
The Gao family was very happy and cried bitterly for their daughter's happy ending after all the hard work she had endured.
The village was bustling with activity on the wedding day.
Xu Jianmin dressed neatly, put on new clothes and shoes, rode a bicycle, wore a big red flower on his chest, and led people with music and dance to Gaojia Village to pick up the bride in a lively manner.
When going out, Xu Jianmin personally carried Gao Xiulan into the car without letting her feet touch the ground.
Everyone in Gaojia Village was envious when they saw it.
"The Gao family's youngest daughter actually married off so grandly?"
"Who says not? I never thought she could marry so grandly."
"I heard that the Xu family gave a betrothal gift of three gongs, one bell, and eighty-eight yuan. This is the first in the entire Hongqi Commune, right?"
"What? Eighty-eight betrothal gifts, and three turns and a ring? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the Xu family is really generous."
"Xiu Lan is worth so much. She has taken care of Xu Jianmin for four years."
"That's right, we were wrong before. We didn't expect Xu Jianmin to be able to stand up again, and that Xiulan would have such a glorious day."
When Gao Xiulan's family heard the villagers' discussions, they straightened their backs and looked proud.
In the past four years, their family has been criticized in the village because of their daughter's affairs, and they have been unable to hold their heads up. Now they can finally hold their heads up high.
Gao Xiulan's parents were completely relieved to see how well their son-in-law treated their daughter. Their daughter finally got what she wanted and found a good home. All those years of hard work were not in vain.
The Gao family did not keep the three turns and one ring and the eighty-eight betrothal gifts, but let their daughter take them all back to the Xu family as a dowry, and also gave her two new quilts as a dowry.
Xu Jianmin was very moved and secretly vowed to be very nice to his wife and her family.
At the wedding banquet, Li Xiyue, who cured Xu Jianmin, was invited to the main table and was toasted by everyone. Fortunately, she had a good alcohol tolerance, otherwise she would have been drunk.
Zhou Yutong, who was sitting at the edge of the table outside the yard, was so angry that he gnashed his teeth when he saw that Li Xiyue was so respected.
That bitch Li Xiyue is well-dressed and has an expensive watch on her wrist, the light it emits is enough to dazzle anyone's eyes. And why is Li Xiyue so popular while she has to be arranged to sit in a corner, and the dishes served to her are just a few radishes and cabbages, without any meat at all.
Zhou Yunze gave a gift, why should he be treated differently?
Zhou Yutong couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table, "Why is there no meat on our table?"
