July 7th, Slight Heat.
By a small stream at the foot of the mountain behind Aoli Village.
"sorry."
Zhou Weimin looked at the girl standing three steps away from him with guilt in his eyes: "If possible, I don't want to break off the engagement with you, but..."
"I don't accept it, and I don't want to listen to you."
The girl looked fair and delicate, like a fairy daughter. She stood under the weeping willow by the stream, her whole body seemed to be shining. She said with a tight face, then turned and left.
"You...can't you just listen to what I have to say?"
The guilt in Zhou Weimin's eyes became more and more intense. At the same time, he was extremely helpless. He felt that the girl was playing tricks again, so he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Even if you blame me for breaking off the engagement with you, do you really need to make fun of your own life-long event?"
"Don't mind my business!"
The girl replied angrily, but never looked back or stopped.
"To marry a second-married man and be the stepmother of three children, you are just asking for trouble!"
Zhou Weimin shouted behind the girl, his tone full of disapproval.
"I do."
The girl stopped and turned to look at her ex-fiancé who was standing there. Her watery fox eyes were full of anger and she said angrily:
"Zhou Weimin, listen to me, I hate you! We have been engaged for three years, and our two families are about to hold a wedding reception.
But your family disliked my poor health and worried that I would not be able to give you a child after marriage, so they came to my house and insisted on breaking off the engagement. Your mother also said in front of my family,
Let me not miss you, lest you end up without a son or a daughter and be laughed at by the villagers. Zhou Weimin, tell me what you were doing earlier?
You shamelessly dragged your mother to my house to propose marriage, but within three years, you secretly had an affair with Su Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Academy. Don’t think that no one knows! "
Her eyes were filled with soreness, but the girl held back the tears.
After saying this, she turned around and continued walking.
"I……"
Zhou Weimin's lips twitched and his eyes were complicated. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. Just when he hesitated to catch up with the girl, he saw that her feet seemed to slip and she fell backwards.
"Li Bao..."
This is the girl's nickname. From childhood to adulthood, her family and fellow villagers have called her this.
Zhou Weimin looked anxious, calling the girl repeatedly while running towards the girl who had fallen to the ground on her back.
-
Jiang Li was awakened by the noisy chirping of cicadas and the alternating quarrels.
She frowned slightly, and when she was about to open her eyes, a memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
The strange thing is that this memory is not Jiang Li's own, and immediately after, another book appears in his mind...
"I said I don't agree, so I don't agree. I want my daughter to marry a second-married man and be her stepmother, unless I die!"
Cai Xiufen, Jiang's mother, wiped away her tears and said, "Li Bao promised you to marry that second marriage leader. That was a decision made by Li Bao and that bastard Zhou Weimin out of anger and without much consideration.
And you? What's the matter with you? Li Baoke is also your Jiang Laigen's daughter. Why didn't you even consider it before deciding in front of Director Wu of the commune that you want to pair up our Li Bao with that person named Luo Yanqing?
The other party obviously has three children, and they are nearly ten years older than our Li Bao. Aren't you just pushing our Li Bao into the fire pit? "
The hall was now full of people, including men, women and children, all with pursed lips and serious expressions, listening to their mothers (mother-in-law, grandmother) accusing their fathers (father-in-law, grandfather).
"Listen to what you say..."
Jiang Laigen was the head of the family and the captain of Aoli Village. He felt that his head was very big at this moment. It was obvious that he was thinking about his daughter, so when Director Wu of the commune was chatting with him,
Speaking of his old boss in Beicheng asking him to find a partner for a returned scientific researcher named Luo Yanqing, if he didn't think his daughter was good, would he have mentioned such a matter to him?
And if he hadn't considered the conditions of Comrade Luo Yanqing mentioned by Director Wu, would he have agreed to Director Wu without saying a word, marrying his good daughter to Comrade Luo Yanqing and becoming a stepmother as soon as she walked in?
"Although Comrade Luo Yanqing is married, has three children, and is a bit older than our Li Bao, Comrade Luo Yanqing is making great contributions to the country, and he is not even thirty yet.
There are three babies, the eldest is almost five years old, and the two younger ones are twins who lost their mother when they were born. They are about three years old now. They are all very good little babies. If Comrade Luo Yanqing hadn't been really busy at work,
It is difficult to find time to go home and take care of the baby throughout the year, and because the nannies hired one after another are not good for the baby at home, otherwise, the family does not want to remarry at all.
Furthermore, didn’t I tell you yesterday that Comrade Luo Yanqing’s income is not low, and he is paid this and that every month? Director Wu said that when our Li Bao comes over, Comrade Luo Yanqing will Give his salary bankbook directly to Li Bao,
Bills and other bills were also handed over to Li Bao. They only have one request for Li Bao, which is to take good care of the three children in the family. "
Cai Xiufen was not convinced: "This is not looking for a wife, it's just looking for a nanny for the family. I said Jiang Laigen, don't even think about trying to persuade me again. I said I won't agree, so I won't!"
How could Li Bao, a girl from her family, marry a 27-year-old second-married man? No, she firmly disagreed!
"I really do it for Li Bao's sake. Damn it, think about it. With Li Bao's body, the doctors have said that it will be very difficult for us to have children of our own in this life... in this life.
Nowadays, we parents can still move, so it’s okay to pamper Li Bao and take good care of her, but when the day comes we can’t move..."
Before Captain Jiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by his eldest son Jiang Guowei: "If I, the eldest brother, can eat in one bite, Li Bao can eat in one bite."
The meaning of these words is obvious. If I look back on my mother for a hundred years, this brother will definitely take good care of my sister.
"Shut your mouth!"
Staring at the eldest son, Captain Jiang said angrily.
You bastard, you're just adding to the chaos!
Seeing that my eldest brother was being reprimanded by me, except for Jiang Guosheng, the second brother who was in the army, Jiang Guoqiang, the third brother, Jiang Guoan, the fifth brother, and those who worked in the county transportation team,
Jiang Guofu, the fourth brother who rushed home early this morning, wanted to echo what his elder brother said, but he immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips.
To avoid being shot at indiscriminately by Captain Jiang.
"Mom, don't quarrel with dad. I voluntarily married Comrade Luo Yanqing." At some point, Jiang Li got off the kang. At this time, she held the door frame with one hand and stood at the door of her room. With.
Looking around at the family members in the hall, Jiang Li finally set his sights on Cai Xiufen, her biological mother in this life. Her eyes were clear and bright, and she said seriously:
"I'm not angry with anyone, I just thought that with my physical condition, marrying Comrade Luo Yanqing might not be a bad thing."
