Zhaodi originally hoped that Cheng Qiao would be too embarrassed to refuse, so that she would have a chance to take the money back, since Cheng Qiao was too embarrassed to ask for it anyway. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qiao took the money and slowly counted it.
"Cheng Qiao, I won't hide it from you. Of the three hundred yuan, one hundred yuan was borrowed from the village chief's family, and one hundred yuan is Chunhua's betrothal gift. If you accept this money, you must promise not to report it to the police.
Also, you cannot change the educated youth point, otherwise even if I divorce you, I will ask you to return the money."
"Aunt, thanks to your Chunhua, I'm going to marry Erliuzi. Why do I need to live in the educated youth camp? I heard that Erliuzi's family is very poor and poor. Not only do they have no food to eat, but their house is about to collapse."
Zhaodi looked at Cheng Qiao, whose head was wrapped in white gauze and whose pink face looked aggrieved, and felt inexplicably uneasy. Yes, such a beautiful girl was harmed by her own daughter and forced to marry a second-rate guy.
Not to mention whether there is a betrothal gift or not, we may not even be able to decorate a decent wedding room. It's nothing like Chunhua at home. The betrothal gift is not only a hundred yuan, but also a bicycle. My originally unbalanced heart suddenly felt superior.
"Second-rate guys are not bad. You will know after a while. Unlike my Chunhua, she will become a stepmother after getting married. Fortunately, Wang Tuzi promised to help Chunhua find a job as long as they get the marriage certificate, and then their household registration can be moved to the county town."
Cheng Qiao looked at Zhaodi who was talking about her daughter's grievances but couldn't hide her pride in her expression. She couldn't help but feel sad. In her previous life, Zhaodi was one of the main people who made things worse for her. She thanked Li Huan for helping her get revenge.
"Is that so? Then congratulations to Sister Chunhua. I wish her a happy wedding and that she and Wang Tuzi can live happily ever after."
"Okay, okay. Now that the money has been compensated, I will let Chunhua apologize to you, and the matter will be over."
Zhaodi was in a hurry to get back to work, so she stood up directly. Cheng Qiao also nodded slightly. She really couldn't understand why Chunhua did this. Wasn't it just that she was prettier than her? Jealousy could really drive people crazy.
When Li Huan came back and saw the stack of money in Cheng Qiao's hand, he immediately became nervous: "Cheng Qiao, did the Chen family come? Did they embarrass you?"
"It was Chunhua's mother who came and said that after Chunhua apologized to me, the matter would be completely over."
"That's good. I was worried that they would embarrass you."
"No, Chunhua is getting married. I see my aunt is very happy. She also said that once Chunhua gets the marriage certificate and finds a job, she can move her household registration to the county town."
"Haha, that's a nice thought. What a coincidence. Do you want a county hukou?"
"No, I like Xiangyang Village."
Li Huan smiled. If Cheng Qiao liked to go to the county town, he would find a way to let Cheng Qiao go to the county town. But if Cheng Qiao liked Xiangyang Village, that would be the best, after all, his mother and sister were in Xiangyang Village.
"By the way, your mother said she would give me 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, and also gave me this bracelet. I have to go to the county town to buy some things. When a girl gets married, she always needs a dowry."
"I'll go with you."
Li Huan walked to the door of the room, and seeing that no one was coming, he took out a wad of money from a bag and handed it to Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment, wondering where did Li Huan get so much money.
"Here is 800 yuan. It's what I earned in the past six months. Keep it."
"So much money, what have you been doing in the past six months? And I don't want it, keep your money yourself."
"How can that be? You are my wife, and what's mine is yours. Put it away quickly, and you will be the head of this family from now on."
"Then tell me how you make so much money."
"I'll tell you later. Keep the money first. The doctor will be here to check on the patient."
Cheng Qiao nodded, put the money into Li Huan's bag, patted it a few times, and put it under the pillow before feeling relieved. She would put it in the space after leaving the hospital.
The doctor appeared at the door of the ward on time. Seeing the smiling faces of the two young people, he couldn't help but smile as well. It’s great to be young.
After a series of examinations, Cheng Qiao was basically fine except for some occasional pain in the wound and could be discharged from the hospital.
"Doctor, let's be discharged tomorrow. You said it would be two days. From yesterday morning till now it counts as one day, so it won't be two days until tomorrow morning."
Today, Cheng Qiao is going to be taken out to buy things. Even if they are tired, they still have to travel such a long distance back to the educated youth site. Li Huan is worried that Cheng Qiao's body can't handle it, so he just plays rogue again.
The doctor touched the unopened pack of cigarettes in his pocket, smiled and nodded. "Hospitalization costs money. Since you have the money, then stay. There is no shortage of hospital beds anyway."
After the doctor left, Li Huan hurriedly took Cheng Qiao to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. There were still so many people in the cooperative. You know, the autumn harvest date is different in each village, and their Xiangyang Village started one day earlier.
"Li Huan, why don't you come tomorrow? We can just take a look around and then go back."
"Cheng Qiao, you want to know how I make money, so I'll take you to a place, but you have to agree to one condition: don't ask me anything."
Cheng Qiao's heart moved, and she seemed to understand what Li Huan was doing. She nodded obediently, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and followed Li Huan to the two-story house.
“It’s so broken.”
Cheng Qiao glanced at the wall that was full of ruins and looked at Li Huan suspiciously. Li Huan took out the key, opened the door to the second entrance, and waved to Cheng Qiao.
Cheng Qiao walked into the main room. Well, it was okay here. At least no water would leak in when it rained. She followed Li Huan to the house on the left. However, as soon as she entered the house, Cheng Qiao became worried.
There were four or five wooden stands in the room, on which were placed some scattered daily necessities, including a big red thermos, colorful glass sugar bowls, various quilts and other popular goods.
"you… "
"Shh..."
"No wonder you can make so much money, it turns out you are doing this."
"Cheng Qiao, this is a secret between the two of us. You have to keep it a secret for me, your man."
"I want this, this, this, and that. Count them up and tell me how much they cost."
"Cheng Qiao, take whatever you want. I've already said that what's mine is yours. You're the one who runs this family."
"But this also costs money. You have to deduct the cost, otherwise how can you continue this work?"
"Cheng Qiao, you agreed."
"Even if I don't agree, you still have to do it anyway, but you have to promise me one thing. If you come here next time, you must bring me with you, otherwise I won't agree."
"Cheng Qiao, it's not that I don't agree to your request, it's just that... if there's any danger, I'll have to handle it all by myself, and you coming here won't be in vain."
"I don't care. Anyway, I won't come. You are absolutely not allowed to come. Otherwise, I won't marry you. Even if I marry you, I will still divorce you."
