She always remembered the day Li Bing came back, which happened to be a good day for slaughtering the New Year pig in the village, so everyone said that Li Bing was in luck.
Moreover, Li Bing and Li Huan are two people with completely different personalities. Li Huan is a reckless scoundrel who is extremely shameless, while Li Bing is full of justice and has a straightforward mind.
Therefore, as long as she had some connection with Li Bing, she would not only be able to escape the fate of marrying an old bachelor, but also be able to disgust Li Huan and Cheng Qiao.
Miao Qing had been preparing for this day. When the villagers were happily slaughtering the New Year pig, distributing the pork and eating the pig-slaughtering meal, she stood shivering in the cold wind, waiting for her fate to change.
God helps those who work hard. When Li Bing saw a hint of green in the distance, Miao Qing lay down directly on the path. Sure enough, when he saw Miao Qing, who was wearing thin clothes, lying on the ground, he immediately walked up to him.
He first placed his fingers on Miao Qing's neck and felt a strong beating. He guessed that the little girl must be frozen, so he took off the badge on her military coat and covered Miao Qing with the coat.
Miao Qing opened her eyes slightly and saw a handsome face. She was secretly delighted and grabbed Li Bing's hand and pressed it against her chest, shouting "Help" randomly but refusing to let go of Li Bing's hand.
Li Bing felt something soft when he touched it and thought something was wrong. When he heard Miao Qing shouting for help, he knew he had been tricked. When he tried to pull his hand back forcefully, Xu Laidi suddenly appeared.
Xu Laidi took a look at the postures of the two, smiled, turned around and went to report the news. Miao Qing glanced at Xu Laidi's back and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, I made preparations early and bribed Xu Laidi with benefits, otherwise today's play would have been in vain and the cold would have been in vain. I hope Xu Laidi can be smarter and speak more vaguely.
"What on earth do you want to do with all your efforts?"
Miao Qing looked a little embarrassed, but when she thought of her future fate, tears instantly filled her eyes: "Brother Li Bing, save me, my father wants to sell me to an old bachelor in the neighboring village."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Yes, if your brother hadn't come to blow up our kitchen and asked my father to pay 200 yuan in compensation, my father wouldn't have done this."
Li Bing frowned deeply. He knew a little about his brother's habits, but he was definitely not unreasonable. If he did this, there must be something wrong with Miao Qing's family first.
"So you blackmailed me."
"This... isn't there any solution?"
"Aren't you afraid that following me will be harder and more tiring than following an old bachelor?"
"No."
"Haha, I hope you don't regret it."
Li Bing sneered and looked at the group of people running towards him from a distance, calmly and composedly.
Fenqiu was originally very angry. This dead money-loser was not staying at home and was making trouble again. But when he saw Miao Qing pointing at Li Bing and saying that he was a hooligan, his mind suddenly became clear.
He looked at Miao Qing with appreciation. This was a good idea. Not only could it anger Li Huan to death, but it could also extort a large sum of betrothal money from Li Bing. How much? Well, 500 yuan, or he would report it to the police and say that the soldiers were bullying the civilians.
Li Huan was really furious. He clenched his fists and wanted to hit Miao Qing, but Cheng Qiao's face kept flashing in front of him, and for Cheng Qiao's sake he couldn't act impulsively.
Li Bing shook his head when he saw this. He hadn't been home for so many years, so how come the people in his hometown had changed beyond all recognition? Since he had fallen into Miao Qing's trap, he might as well get rid of both him and the trap.
Miao Qing saw that Li Bing was not panicked, but looked at her calmly. The mockery in his eyes made her heart tremble suddenly. Why did she feel like she had done something wrong
But the arrow has been drawn and it is too late to regret. Even if she takes a step back, marrying Li Bing is definitely better than marrying an old bachelor. At least she won't be abused.
"You are a soldier, Li Bing. Why are you bullying my daughter like this? Don't think of cheating. This military coat is evidence. Dagang, take the military coat back and keep it well."
Fenqiu fell in love with Li Bing's military coat at first sight. He hurriedly snatched the coat from Miao Qing and handed it to his eldest son next to him.
Aunt Wang spat on the ground and started spitting out foul language. What evidence or no evidence? It was obvious that she coveted the military coat and wanted to take it for herself, yet she could say such shameless things.
Fenqiu glared and rushed towards Aunt Wang. Wang Duocai was afraid, but stood in front of his wife without hesitation. Wang Xiangyang and his brothers also picked up bricks from the ground and looked at Fenqiu with murderous eyes.
Fenqiu was embarrassed all of a sudden. Let's fight. Although Wang Duocai is honest and timid, he will bite if he is really provoked. Forget it. He swallowed his anger for the time being and kicked Miao Qing on the foot: "You are a money-loser. I will deal with you when I get back."
Miao Qing's coat was snatched away and the cold wind blew on his body. He began to tremble all over, feeling dizzy and about to fall. He fell towards his mother. Daya hurriedly supported Miao Qing, blaming the man for being too anxious.
"Miao Qing's father, I'm going to take my daughter back first. It's so cold, she'll be frozen outside."
Fenqiu nodded. It would be inconvenient to talk to the money-loser staying here. Daya supported Miao Qing and walked home. Miao Qing walked home staggeringly, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.
She doesn't have to show up anymore. With such a good opportunity, this unscrupulous couple will naturally fight for it for her. As for the betrothal gift, she has to find a way to get it away so that they won't get it for free.
Mother Li's head ached. She wondered which deity had her Li family offended to make her son, who had not returned home for several years, be treated like this.
Li Bing took a deep breath, supported Mother Li, and said guiltily, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm an unfilial son. I didn't show filial piety to you usually, and I caused you so much trouble when I came back today."
Seeing Li Huan's face deformed by anger, he patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will take responsibility for my actions, you don't have to worry."
"This is your sister-in-law, right? I also brought you wedding gifts. I'll give them to you when I get home. Lele, do you miss your big brother? Let's go home with your big brother."
Everyone felt uneasy as they looked at Li Bing, who was not at all panicked. Chen Weidang was about to say something, but suddenly he felt that it was unnecessary to say anything. Li Bing had been a soldier for so many years, he must have his own solution.
"Li Bing, you can't leave. We still have to talk about the betrothal gift. I can't let you take advantage of my daughter for nothing."
"Uncle Fenqiu, please name a price. If the price is right, I will agree to it."
"son!"
“Brother!”
Li's mother and Li Huan both screamed, but Li Bing shook his head. The same thing happened to a comrade in their military district, but the final solution was perfect.
