That night.
Zhang Cuifen and Li Meiwa returned to the village.
When Lao Li saw both of them coming back for the first time, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Chengcai is still in the hospital. Why are you all back? Then he will take care of you?"
Zhang Cuifen said with a breath of fresh air: "Don't worry, the hospital has made arrangements for us and hired senior nurses to watch over her 24 hours a day."
"How much does this cost?" Old Li Tou asked.
Zhang Cuifen said: "No need to spend money, it's free."
Old Li Tou was even more surprised: "Is there such a good thing?"
Li Meiwa also said: "Dad, what mom said is true! The hospital also exempted us from all expenses during the hospitalization."
Old Li was stunned and thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"A place like a hospital that eats people without spitting out their bones, and there is such a good thing?"
Li Meiwa said: "Thanks to Brother Lu for negotiating with the hospital, otherwise, such a good thing would not have happened."
As soon as I heard the words Brother Lu.
Old Li's expression moved, as if he remembered something.
"This Brother Lu you are talking about is the one who lent money to our family?"
"Yes!" Li Meiwa said with a smile: "Brother Lu is so kind. Not only did he lend us money, but he also treated Chengcai. If he hadn't prescribed the medicine, Chengcai probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
Speaking of Lu Feng.
Li Meiwa seemed to have opened up a chat box, and her words of praise kept flowing.
Zhang Cuifen also said: "Mr. Lu is indeed a first-class good person. Without his help, our family would not have survived this disaster."
Old Li Tou listened to these words.
I feel happy in my heart.
But there are also other worries.
"Beauty Frog, let me ask you something. Please answer it honestly."
Li Meiwa looked at Old Li Tou and asked with lingering eyes: "What's the matter?"
"What is your relationship with this Mr. Lu?" Old Li Tou asked.
"We are friends." Li Meiwa said.
"Is it that simple?" Old Li had a questioning look on his face.
Li Meiwa's face turned red unconsciously, she pursed her lips and whispered: "Otherwise."
Lao Li's head is straight and straight, and he doesn't have so many tricks.
He said immediately: "Your uncle Ma came here today and he told me that Haizhu saw you two having an inappropriate relationship with his own eyes."
Upon hearing this.
Li Meiwa's expression suddenly changed, and she became angry instantly.
"Dad, please don't mention Ma Haizhu to me again. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Old Li Tou asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I don't like him anyway." Li Meiwa said coldly.
It seems that no one is willing to waste any more saliva on Ma Haizhu.
Old Li Tou said: "That won't work. I promised you, Uncle Ma, to arrange your marriage as soon as possible."
Mention this matter.
Li Meiwa became even more pessimistic: "I want to marry you, but I won't marry like this anyway!"
Lao Litou suddenly became furious.
He pointed at Li Meiwa's nose and cursed: "You stinky girl, your wings have become stiff after being out for a few days? When will it be your turn to take charge of matters at home?"
The words have not yet finished.
Old Li Tou was about to give Li Meiwa a slap in the face.
Seeing this, Zhang Cuifen quickly stood between the two of them and persuaded in a low voice: "Why do you need to take action? Let's talk to each other if we have anything to say."
Lao Li snorted and stared at Li Meiwa fiercely.
"Your marriage to Haizhu was decided a long time ago. Everyone in the village knows it. If you don't get married, what will others say about us?"
Li Meiwa pouted her mouth and turned her head to the side.
His expression looked both stubborn and aggrieved.
Tears flowed out of his eyes.
It made her handsome face look a little more sad, which made me feel pity for her.
Zhang Cuifen said to Li Meiwa: "Meiwa, your father is right. As the saying goes, men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older. Girls of your age in the village have basically found their husbands."
Li Meiwa said nothing and kept crying.
Old Li Tou said: "Haizhu is a very good kid. He is very honest and good at making money. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him."
If Li Meiwa had been in this remote mountain village.
Never been out.
Then maybe she really believed what Old Li Tou said.
However.
After seeing the brilliance of the colorful world, her heart already belonged to another place.
Zhang Cuifen seemed to have guessed what Li Meihua was thinking, and asked tentatively: "Is it because of Dr. Lu that you don't marry Haizhu?"
Li Meiwa remained silent.
Because she knew it very well.
Whether you confess or not, it is difficult to change your stubborn parents.
as expected.
Seeing that Li Meiwa didn't answer, Zhang Cuifen shook her head and sighed.
"Beautiful frog, we rural people can't be too ambitious!"
"Who is Dr. Lu? Didn't you see that the doctors at the Central Hospital treat him with respect?"
"A big shot like this who is born extraordinary is like the sun in the sky. It can only be seen but cannot be touched. If you like others, they may not like you."
Li Meiwa naturally knew the distance between her and Lu Feng.
but.
Even if she could never be with Lu Feng in this life, her love for Lu Feng would not diminish at all.
Even if it is to be Lu Feng's lover.
That would be much better than marrying Ma Haizhu.
He hesitated for a moment.
Li Meiwa plucked up the courage and said.
"Mom, I want to pursue my own happiness. Besides, I have grown up now and know how to go in the future. Please stop interfering in my life."
This sentence.
This undoubtedly angered Old Li Tou.
He raised his pipe and hit Li Meiwa firmly on the head with a snap.
A moment.
There was blood on Li Meiwa's head, and it flowed down from her forehead along her hair.
Lao Li glared at her and shouted angrily: "Look at the bastard words you said."
before.
When Li Meiwa faced Old Li Tou's fierce gaze, she lowered her head to avoid it.
But this time, she did not dodge, but stared at Lao Litou, the light in her eyes becoming more determined.
"How dare you stare at me? I won't beat you to death!"
Old Li Tou felt that his dignity had been challenged.
Suddenly furious.
He picked up the pipe and started to smoke again.
"enough!"
Zhang Cuifen roared violently and snatched the pipe out of Lao Li Tou's hand.
Then.
He pushed his knees up, broke them into two pieces, and threw them out the door.
Saw this sudden scene.
Old Li Tou was stunned on the spot and looked at Zhang Cuifen blankly: "This is so outrageous, how dare you..."
The words are not finished yet.
Zhang Cuifen cursed at Lao Litou.
"Shut up, I'm so incompetent, you just know how to bully women!"
"I was blind before following you, this coward."
"Now, Meiwa wants to find a good family. What's wrong with her?"
"But you chose another loser for her!"
"My son is sick, and you can't help him at all. If it weren't for the beautiful frog hanging around outside, our old Li family would have been divorced."
Zhang Cuifen is just a blockbuster.
She yelled at Lao Li and cursed.
All of a sudden, Lao Li was stunned by the scolding.
Don't say that Old Li is confused.
Even Li Meiwa on the side was confused.
To know.
In her family, her chauvinist father always said the same thing, and no one dared to disagree with him.
And in her impression.
My mother, Zhang Cuifen, was always submissive and obedient.
When talking to his father, Old Man Li, he didn't dare to speak too loudly.
But now.
But her mother roared at her father for her sake.
Every word.
Every word.
It was like a heavy punch, hitting Lao Litou hard in the heart.
She was both stunned and stunned.
"Li, I'm going to put my words here now. If you still dare to force the beautiful frog to do things she doesn't like, then I will divorce you now. I won't be with you anymore. You can go be single by yourself." !”
Old Li Tou looked at Zhang Cuifen who was furious.
My scalp felt numb.
It was also the first time that he discovered that his guest was so fierce.
Suddenly.
He was so stunned that he didn't dare to let out another fart.
Drooping his head, he turned around and walked away.
Zhang Cuifen held Li Meiwa in her arms and touched her head: "Girl, is your head okay?"
Li Meiwa shook her head and cried with joy.
She hugged Zhang Cuifen tightly and said with tears of gratitude: "Mom, thank you!"
"Silly boy, how can the whole family thank you?" Zhang Cuifen smiled bitterly.
Then he said.
"Your mother's eyes are not blind. I have seen everything that happened these days. Dr. Lu is indeed a good man. He is not comparable to Ma Haizhu!"
"If you have the opportunity, you must seize it. If you can marry Dr. Lu, you will be completely happy in your life."
Li Meiwa nodded vigorously and said "yes" heavily.
After calming down Li Meiwa's emotions, he ordered her to cook.
Zhang Cuifen went straight out and found Lao Litou sitting on the edge of the fish pond in a daze.
Lao Li saw Zhang Cuifen coming.
Get up and leave.
But the other party shouted directly.
"I can't afford to offend you, so I can't afford to hide. From now on, you will be the master of this family, and I won't care about anything, okay?" Lao Litou said angrily.
Zhang Cuifen walked up to him and whispered, "I have something to talk to you about."
"What are we talking about?" Old Li Tou asked.
Zhang Cuifen said: "Of course it's about the beautiful frog."
"You've already made your decision, don't you still need to talk to me?" Lao Li curled his lips and said angrily.
Zhang Cuifen scolded: "You are not only a loser, but also an idiot!"
"Zhang Cuifen, don't push yourself too far. I'll tolerate you for a while. If you want to scold me again, you're welcome."
The clay figurine still has some anger.
What's more, he is still a rich and powerful man like Lao Li Tou.
Zhang Cuifen said: "You are an idiot. You still don't admit that you didn't choose a golden mountain but chose a smelly ditch. Is this something a smart person can do?"
"What do you mean? The more I listen, the more confused I become." Old Li Tou muttered, scratching the back of his head with a confused look on his face.
Zhang Cuifen said bluntly: "Haizhu is quite honest, but like his mother, he is petty-minded and has no vision. He is destined to never achieve anything great in this life. We, the beautiful frogs, will inevitably endure hardships if we follow him."
"But Dr. Lu is different. Although I haven't seen much of the world, I know how to recognize people by their faces. He will definitely be destined to be rich and powerful in his life."
"Let's not talk about Dr. Lu's life-saving grace for our family. If the beautiful frog can really get along with him, then our old Li family will be in trouble!"
Old Li's face changed, and he said angrily: "We farmers have a clear conscience and there is no need for these heretical ways."
Zhang Cuifen snorted coldly and said unceremoniously.
"You have worked hard all your life to farm the land. In the village, you want money but no money, and you want status but no status. You don't want your son or grandson to farm the land with you, right?"
"At that time, someone in the family will be sick again, and you can't get any money even if you scrape here and there, and you can only cry to Guanyin Bodhisattva for your father and mother. Is this what you want to have a clear conscience?"
"Chengcai is still young now. If he has a good brother-in-law who is rich and powerful, he can save fifty years of hard work. Maybe our family will be able to produce a high-ranking official or a rich man, instead of being stuck in this mess like you. Tossing around."
Every word of Zhang Cuifen's words is exquisite.
However, what is said is reality.
"When my son got sick, all the relatives and friends regarded us as the gods of plague. Even your good friend Ma Dashan called every in-law, but he was unwilling to take out the money."
"It's a beautiful frog!"
"The noble man she found in Beihai not only lent our family money, but also cured Chengcai's illness."
"You've spent your whole life squandering your dignity, but what did you get in the end? It's not just that your family is destitute and impoverished!"
"I don't want my son or grandson to live the same miserable life we have, do you understand?!"
Old Li Tou was silent.
Keep your head down.
Playing with the weeds on his crotch.
The twinkling light in his eyes dimmed, leaving only humility...
