Chapter 182 Free Delivery
Things happened suddenly, so we have to deal with them in a special way.
Li Dong didn't say why he and Zou Zhou suddenly wanted to get married, but he also thought that since Zou Zhou was going to marry him, the proper etiquette should still be followed.
No matter what the Zou family thinks, as a man, he cannot let others think that Zou Zhou ran here on his own. This will be bad for Zou Zhou's reputation.
"The situation is special. I'll explain the details to you later. I want to buy some gifts and betrothal gifts and have you accompany me to the Zou family. After the gifts are presented, this marriage will be legal."
Hearing this, Zou Zhou looked at Li Dong in surprise.
How could she not know that if she came here rashly, there would be a lot of rumors and unpleasant words spread outside.
Unexpectedly, Li Dong...
Even Erhe looked at Li Dong in surprise. Although this brat was young, he was quite meticulous.
That's the truth. No matter what the Zou family's attitude is, they will perform the duties of courtesy. No matter how the Zou family makes a fuss, this is Li Dong's respect and kindness for Zou Zhou.
Wang Xiu hesitated and looked at her daughter-in-law, guessing that there might be some hidden secret. But since her daughter-in-law didn't stop it, she probably knew about it.
"Okay, I know all the etiquette. I'll go with you to buy it tomorrow."
"Thank you, Auntie."
After dinner, He Zheng went to wash the dishes and took Li Dong with him.
Erhe called Zou Zhou to the outside yard, "Have you thought it through? Have you really decided to do this?"
"Yes," Zou Zhou looked at the endless sky, "Li Dong is... not bad. You said you wanted to replace someone with bad intentions. I'm delivering it to him for free, and he doesn't have to spend a penny. What's the point of being polite? It's a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity. It's a matter of judging a person's character. This Li Dong is not bad, right?"
"He did the right thing."
Whether you respect a woman or not can reveal many problems. Just like Zou Zhou said, she basically ran to the door on her own initiative. It seems that Li Dong is not a good person.
I wouldn't even think about these things.
A good start, at least it's enjoyable.
The two were talking outside. In the kitchen at the back, He Zheng was washing dishes and Li Dong was helping him.
"You know, Zou Zhou is your sister-in-law's good friend. I'm warning you, don't bully her. Be nice to her. You should love your wife after you marry her. Also, you will be an adult after you get married. You should be sensible in what you do. Don't be reckless and make people laugh at you. If there are any problems at home, discuss them with Zou Zhou. City girls are smart."
Li Dong felt warm in his heart after listening to his heartfelt words.
Don't say these words, whether they are nice or not. Only say them if you really care about him.
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I understand." Li Dong said sincerely, and his expression became serious. It seemed that he became more stable because he knew he was going to get married.
He Zheng glanced at him and said, "If you don't have enough money, tell me."
"It's enough for now, let's see what happens next."
Li Dong was not sure what would happen.
Both sides had agreed on the matter, and Li Xi did not stay to make clothes, so she went back with Li Dong first.
Zou Zhou stayed at the He family and still slept in the small room at the back with Erhe.
"Erhe, I want to do these things as soon as possible, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Zou Zhou always had a bad feeling.
"Okay, then tomorrow we'll go to the county town to buy some things, and then go directly to your house to get this done. We'll then have a banquet in the village. No matter what your parents' attitude is, once the banquet is held, the matter will be settled, and no one can mess it up again."
Now that it has come to this, this is the only way to do it.
Thinking that I will go to the Zou family tomorrow, there will definitely be a fight.
Erhe added, "Call He Zheng along too. Then, I'll go to the Su family and call the eldest son of the Su family as well, just in case your parents detain you at home. With so many of us accompanying you, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong."
"Erhe, thank you, really, thank you so much. There are so many good people in your village."
Zou Zhou was really afraid that her parents would detain her, but she would feel much more at ease if many people came here.
The next morning, Erhe asked He Zheng to borrow a hand tractor from the team. There were many people going to the county town this time, and they also needed to buy a lot of things.
We can only use a hand tractor.
Soon, Li Dong and Li Xi also came over. Both of them were wearing new clothes and looked very smart.
Last night, Li Xi took out all the money she had earned in the past six months.
She was hardworking and made a lot of clothes, saving more than 1,100 yuan.
She made all the clothes by operating a sewing machine.
She gave all the money to Li Dong.
Li Dong didn't want to take it at first, but Li Xi also said that the little money the family had saved was used to treat her leg illness.
Since they are a family, why can't she use her money to marry her sister-in-law?
So, Li Dong carried a large sum of money with him.
Wang Xiu took the lead. She knew what to buy and this important role could not be missed.
He Zheng was responsible for driving the tractor.
We are getting ready to leave.
From a distance, I saw a man riding a bicycle coming. It was He Zheng's uncle. There was half a pig on the back seat of his bicycle, and two big fish hanging on the other side.
These were all taken to the Zou family by Li Dong. After hearing Li Dong mention this yesterday, Wang Xiu specially asked Village Chief He to go to his brother's house.
Let him prepare these things.
It's just perfect that the item was delivered at this time.
Li Dong quickly paid the money and carried the things into the carriage.
When they arrived at the county town, the group bought some canned nutritional supplements, cigarettes, alcohol, two cans of tea, and weighed a few pounds of wool for Zou's mother.
These things cost Li Dong about two hundred yuan, and they looked quite decent to carry.
Li Dong also gave an extra 500 yuan as a betrothal gift.
The hand tractor stopped at the dormitory door. Zou Zhou got off the vehicle first, and then everyone went in together carrying their things.
"What a coincidence, Zou Zhou, you're back? Your mother is looking for you everywhere," a sister-in-law who knew Zou Zhou grabbed her and looked at the person following behind her. She was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Yesterday, your cousin came and told everyone that you were going to marry a country bumpkin. Your mother was very angry. You better be careful later."
The words were about to fall.
Zou's mother peeked out of her door, saw her daughter coming back, grabbed a feather duster and rushed out.
"I'm going to beat you to death, you evil creature! And you still remember to come back? Where have you been these past two days?"
The feather duster was really careless and just flew towards Zou Zhou. Yesterday, Zou Yan's niece came over and said those things about how that family was poor and broke, and had no parents. Zou's mother almost had a high blood pressure after hearing that. "I arranged a marriage for you, but you didn't go. You ran away to the countryside like a jerk. I'll break your legs."
The feather duster was aimed at Zou Zhou's calf. Zou Zhou gritted his teeth and didn't dodge, his eyes looking straight at Zou's mother.
However, the two blows did not fall on her after all. Li Dong pulled her away and took the beating himself. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and the feather duster hit his arm, leaving an immediate thick red mark, and the skin was even rolled up in one place.
