Chapter 68 Sacrificing Myself for My Brother



"Who, which bastard bumped into my butt——"

Li Dong pushed his bicycle away and got up cursing. Although he had no parents, he would not allow himself to be bullied.

He actually dared to launch a sneak attack.

"Tell me your name if you dare—"

He turned around suddenly, intending to take a good look at the bastard who dared to attack him!

But what did he see?

Su Erhe clung to his brother Zheng like a monkey, and then looked at his brother Zheng grinning like a fool.

He turned his head to look left and right, but there was no one else. Who bumped into him?

Su Erhe noticed Li Dong's actions, patted He Zheng and asked him to put her down. It was a sudden incident, and the two of them couldn't really hug each other like this, as it was immoral.

My feet touched the ground and I felt very solid.

Su Erhe looked at Li Dong, who was completely bewildered, and said, "Don't look for me anymore. I was riding a bike, and it hit you."

What does this mean?

Li Dong didn't understand, and Su Erhe was too lazy to explain. "I'll ask your brother Zheng to explain it to you later. Also, ask Li Xi to come to my house. I need to talk to her about something."

She planned to ask Li Xi to come over and bring her some meat. As for why she didn't ask Li Dong, she was happy to be close to Li Xi.

"He Zheng, I borrowed your bicycle. It's just right that you can ride it back soon. I won't be going there."

She was about to go home, but she had just taken two steps when He Zheng grabbed her wrist. He Zheng looked at her nervously and anxiously: "I know about my grandma coming home, Su Erhe, don't listen to her nonsense. She is old and doesn't understand anything. Also, Zou Yan and I have nothing to do with each other."

Su Erhe actually didn't mind what Grandma He said, but she still felt very grateful that He Zheng explained it to her so attentively.

She was just about to say that she didn't mind. Village Chief He and Aunt Wang Xiu were pretty good to each other anyway. As for Grandma He, if she was good to her, then she would respect her. If not, then she wouldn't treat Grandma He as a grandmother, but just an ordinary old lady.

"Really? I didn't lie to you." He Zheng saw that Su Erhe didn't say anything and scratched his head anxiously. "Last time she stopped me and said she knitted a sweater for me, but I ignored her."

He Zheng Su Erhe, who was very self-disciplined, felt that it was even more helpful. "Yes, don't take her sweater. What's so special about a sweater? I also knitted one for you and will give it to you later."

"real?"

That must be true.

But that night, Su Erhe put away the last few stitches, picked up the sweater with confidence and tried it on himself.

Oh my god!

Why are the two sleeves different lengths?

There seems to be a hole in the chest area where a few stitches were missed.

Su Erhe carefully extended his index finger and passed it through the hole...

She guessed that He Zheng would not mind, but the location of the hole in the sweater was really awkward. It would be embarrassing to see a hole when she took it off.

So the next day, Suerhe asked Li Xi to help repair it.

"The sleeves can be taken apart and re-knitted longer. As for this hole," Li Xi thought for a moment, "Sister Erhe, why don't we sew a pattern on it?"

Su Erhe thought this was a good idea, but the problem was what to sew.

"Sprouting plants, Sister Erhe, your name contains the character '禾', so how about embroidering a seedling?"

"become!"

Li Xi drew a pattern on the cardboard and asked Su Erhe to embroider according to the pattern on the paper, and then fill the hole with the seedlings.

Looking at He Miao's well-produced painting, he asked, "Li Xi, have you ever learned to paint before?"

Li Xi shook her head. "No, I didn't learn it. I learned it in drawing class when I was in school. As for sewing, I learned it from my mother for a few years when she was still alive."

That's a pair of very dexterous hands.

Su Erhe looked at Li Xi carefully again. She was a very pretty girl with fair skin and a good personality.

The only regret is that my legs are inconvenient.

"You have a pretty good skill."

Li Xi held the needle and thread and smiled miserably, "That's useless. There are many people who can make clothes. Besides, I can't do heavy work in the fields. What's the point of only knowing this?"

If she couldn't earn work points, she wouldn't get much money or food, and everything depended on her brother Li Dong. She was a burden. Because of her, Li Dong was already 19 years old. Normally, at this age, someone would come to propose marriage, but the matchmaker in their family was unwilling to come. They blamed the family for being poor and her being a burden.

"Who said it's useless?" Su Erhe had just finished speaking when he caught a glimpse of a figure outside.

Zhu Xing appeared outside. It had been a long time since she spoke. She was beaten very badly by her parents last time, but her parents didn't dare to kill her. Their son's marriage depended on Zhu Xing, so Zhu Xing kept a low profile for a while and then started to move again.

Seeing Suerhe, Zhu Xing subconsciously shrank her shoulders. The impression from last time was too deep, and she was a little scared when she saw Suerhe now.

But she didn't come here to look for Su Erhe this time, so she avoided Su Erhe's gaze and only said to Li Xi: "What do you think about what I told you last time?"

Su Erhe looked back and forth between Zhu Xing and Li Xi with suspicion, not understanding what the two were talking about.

Li Xi lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have finally made a decision. He said to Su Erhe, "Sister Erhe, I have something to tell Zhu Xing. Can you go back first?"

After she said that, Su Erhe couldn't stay any longer, so he picked up his sweater and needle and thread, and glanced at Zhu Xing before leaving.

This girl has bad intentions and a brain full of evil. She definitely has no good intentions.

After leaving Li's house, Su Erhe was still thinking about this matter, so he went to the field to look for someone with a sweater and needle and thread.

He Zheng and Li Dong were working together to dig ditches. As the weather got colder, there was less work to do in the fields, so they started to arrange some other work, such as clearing land, digging ditches, and making compost.

Su Erhe found Li Dong and said, "Zhu Xing has been going to your house quite frequently recently. She just went again and said she had something to say to Li Xi. This girl is very cunning. You should pay more attention to her and don't let Li Xi get deceived."

"Mr. Zhu!" Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Dong threw the shovel on the ground and ran home.

"What's going on?"

Su Erhe was confused and looked at He Zheng. He Zheng didn't know what was going on either.

“Go and have a look!”

Seeing that something was wrong, the two of them hurried back to the Li family.

Just as she ran to the door, Li Dong grabbed Zhu Xing's arm and dragged her out. "Get out of here! I'm telling you, even if I, Li Dong, never marry, I won't let my sister marry a bastard like your brother. Get out! Get out of here!"

Zhu Xing was thrown to the ground in a panic, but she quickly got up and pointed at Li Xi who had run out of the house. "What's the point of saying that? Li Xi has already agreed. As long as my family pays 200 yuan for the wedding gift, she will marry my brother. If you don't believe me, just ask her. She agreed herself!"

Don’t say Li Dong doesn’t believe this.

Su Erhe and He Zheng were also shocked.

Zhu Lai is short and petite, and has dirty thoughts. Li Xi's life will be ruined if she marries him.

Li Dong was even more unconvinced, "Xiao Xi, you said, Zhu Xing is lying!"

Li Xi gritted her teeth and looked at her brother Li Dong, "Brother, Zhu Xing didn't lie. I am willing to marry Zhu Lai."
