Chapter 186 Injured
Li Dong and Zou Zhou's wedding was arranged quickly.
Just three days later, it became relatively easy.
The Li family didn't have many relatives, so two tables of people came, as well as the He family and some people from the village, making a total of five tables.
As expected, no one from Zou Zhou's parents came.
Zou Zhou also let it go and started to eat and laugh as usual.
Wang Xiu and Su's mother greeted each other in the village, and no one mentioned those unpleasant things.
Besides, it’s not easy for Li Dong to get married with his conditions.
As for how much was sent to the Zou family, the villagers didn't know.
Everyone still thought that the Li family was very poor.
Not only them, but even the Zou family thought that the Li family was very poor. The neighbors talked to Zou's mother and mentioned the betrothal gift from the future son-in-law's family.
"I heard that the things they brought back were quite a lot. Is the man Zou Zhou married from a well-off family?"
Zou's mother rolled her eyes. "How can the conditions for farming in the countryside be that good? This damn girl doesn't listen to me. She'll be crying later."
"How can you buy so many things if you are not well off?" asked the neighbor. Even if the betrothal gifts were given in the city, some people would come with only a few things.
"Who else could it be? Does the Nie family know? She has a good relationship with the daughter of the Nie family. This money is most likely lent to them by the daughter of the Nie family to save face. Just watch, before the marriage, she borrowed money to buy things and give betrothal gifts, and now she is asked to pay back all the money after she gets married!"
"Oh, I've heard a lot about borrowing money to marry a wife."
Even the neighbors said so, and Zou's mother was even more convinced. She was very proud. "So, this damn girl is disobedient. I am her biological mother. How can I harm her? You all see, she is disobeying me. After she gets married and finds out that our family is poor and in debt, if she wants to come back, I will not agree."
When Zou's mother said this, she was actually looking forward to this day.
She was filled with anger and was just waiting for her daughter to come back crying and beg her so that she could vent her hatred!
Zou's mother was waiting at home...
Three days passed, five days passed, ten days passed.
Why hasn’t my little daughter come back crying yet?
"How is it? Is Li Dong treating you well?"
In Ku Shui Village, the new daughter-in-law Zou Zhou was obviously living well. Her complexion had become much rosier, and she had also cut her long hair, growing it to shoulder length like Erhe. She looked much more mature. When she heard her good friend's jokes, Zou Zhou blushed with embarrassment.
"You're teasing me too, I'm ignoring you."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." It is said that whether a woman is living a good life can be seen from her face. In fact, there is no need to ask too much. Seeing that Zou Zhou has a rosy complexion and is in good spirits, it is obvious that she is living a good life.
Zou Zhou also recalled her wedding night with Li Dong. They were about the same age. Li Dong had originally told her to get used to her current status and to treat her with courtesy, not intending to touch her. But Zou Zhou thought, the Li family had paid so much, why was she still being so pretentious?
So she took the initiative.
Of course, she only took the initiative at the beginning, and let Li Dong handle the rest.
Although there were some bumps along the way, it finally went smoothly.
After a few more times, it became very harmonious.
At this moment...
Zou Zhou was actually thinking about something else.
"Erhe, I also want to buy a sewing machine and put it at home so that Li Xi and I can make clothes at home, instead of running to your house all the time, which will arouse suspicion over time." Now that she has lost her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, fortunately she already knows how to use a sewing machine to make clothes. She only makes simple styles and can get the hang of it quickly.
She held her breath, determined to do something to show her family that she was living a prosperous life.
"Do you have enough money?"
"It's enough. Although I gave most of my salary to my mother, I still kept a small amount. Li Dong and Li Xi also have some. It's enough to make up for it."
"That's fine. Let's go together tomorrow. I'll drive the hand tractor and we can directly install the sewing machine."
It just so happened that she also wanted to go to the county town. It was already the end of September and October was almost here.
If her memory served her correctly, the leadership had already held a meeting at that time and decided to resume the college entrance examination, but no official notice had been issued yet.
But some news should be starting to spread.
News travels slowly in small, remote rural areas, so there should be news in the provincial capital.
As soon as there is a definite notice, she plans to go to the provincial capital to review and prepare for the exam. This time the college entrance examination will be in winter, which is the last few months.
There is a large library for finding various information, and of course Liang Wenwen and others can help each other, which is much more convenient than her working alone in the countryside.
She was originally worried that if she were to be away for a long time, no one would take care of the clothes making in the countryside, Wang Xiu would not know what was going on in the warehouse, and Li Xi was too young and needed training.
Now that Zou Zhou is here, this is simply the best arrangement.
She could rest assured and leave the matters here to Zou Zhou.
So she is waiting for that news now.
Before that, she did many other things.
First, he accompanied Zou Zhou to buy a sewing machine and placed it at Li's house.
Then he introduced Zou Zhou to Angkor at the warehouse.
"Erhe, you are so weird. You are the one who does all these things. Why do you have to teach me? I will just make clothes for you." Zou Zhou felt it was weird. Shouldn't these sales channels be kept secret?
Is Erhe too selfless to teach her all these?
Erhe didn't intend to hide it from Zou Zhou. "I have other plans. I might not be in the countryside for the next few months, so I need someone to take care of things here. If I really go out for a while, this important task will be handed over to you. So, Comrade Zou Zhou, do you have confidence?"
Zou Zhou felt that it was not too difficult. She just had to make the clothes, count the quantity, send them to the warehouse, and then reconcile and settle the accounts with Wu Ge. These were not difficult for her.
"That should be possible."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on."
The two came back from the warehouse again. Erhe dropped Zou Zhou off at Li's house and rode her bike back to He's house.
"Erhe is back. There is a telegram for you. I put it on the table for you." Wang Xiu was busy in the front yard. Anyway, she would not touch her daughter-in-law's things casually, so she took it and put it on the table.
telegraph?
Although telegrams are fast, they are charged by the word and the cost is relatively high, so she and Liang Wenwen communicated via correspondence.
Why is it a telegram this time?
Erhe kicked off the bicycle, parked it, and went into the house.
Wang Xiu also said, "How come your friend in the provincial capital thought of sending you a telegram this time? He used to write you letters."
She and Liang Wenwen had been exchanging letters for some time, and Wang Xiu also knew that her daughter-in-law had a friend in the provincial capital and they often exchanged letters.
Erhe also couldn't figure it out. Could it be because the news of resuming the college entrance examination was confirmed?
I ran into the house, put down the cloth bag, picked up the folded paper on the table, and then I knew the reason.
The telegram was not sent by Liang Wenwen.
The signature is "Nie".
Commander Nie was injured, but Aunt Nie didn't know the news yet, so she was informed by sending a telegram first.
