Chen Chunhua, who likes Qiao, finally faces up to her own view on love. It is said that if you marry a man, you will have clothes to wear and food to eat. If she marries a second-rate man, she won't even be able to have clothes to wear and food to eat. She might as well marry Wang the butcher. At least he is a regular employee of the meat processing factory and she will always have meat to eat.
Cheng Qiao looked at Chen Chunhua's constantly rolling eyes, sneered in her heart, and simply escalated the situation a little more. After all, she was a naive person, so it was not impossible for her to add insult to injury.
"I plan to give the 300 yuan your family gave me as compensation to Erliuzi after we get married, and ask him to keep it for me."
"you… "
Chen Chunhua's tongue suddenly got tied and she couldn't utter a word. She now deeply regretted her impulsiveness. With three hundred yuan, she could buy so many delicious foods, drinks and clothes.
I originally thought I could get the money back from that idiot Cheng Qiao, but I never expected that this idiot actually gave the money to a second-rate guy. Now that the money is in the hands of that second-rate guy, there is no way I can get it back.
"You still owe me an apology, otherwise I will report it to the police. By the way, you and Miao Qing stopped me here today. Did you want to rob me?"
"No, no, we just think that you marrying a second-rate guy is a bit... We just wanted you to break off the engagement, but we didn't expect..."
Miao Qing cursed Cheng Qiao in his heart but showed a kind smile on his face. He must not be charged with robbery, otherwise their family would be in trouble.
"Well, then Sister Chunhua, I'm going to go back first. After the autumn harvest is over, you have to give me a formal apology, and then I will forgive you. I will still treat you as a good sister in the future."
"You&...Okay, I get it."
Chen Chunhua wanted to curse, but Miao Qing pinched her just in time and she stopped talking. Looking at Cheng Qiao's pretty face, she felt really upset.
Cheng Qiao rode away quickly on her bicycle. She knew her own weight. How could she, with her small body of only 1.6 meters tall and weighing 80 kilograms, possibly beat the two of them
"Miao Qing, are you just going to let her go like this?"
Miao Qing touched his lower back and still felt a slight pain there.
"So what if you don't let her go? She's stupid enough to give all her money to this second-rate guy. Can you still expect her to pay you back?"
"But... that's three hundred dollars."
"Chunhua, you wouldn't... like a second-rate guy, would you?"
"What are you talking about? I've already promised her, you can't ruin my reputation."
Chen Chunhua's face suddenly turned red. Miao Qing looked at the shyness on Chen Chunhua's face coldly. Although it was fleeting, he understood everything in his heart.
No wonder Chunhua wanted to push Cheng Qiao off the ox cart. Her parents had to sell everything they had to pay the money. So this is the truth. Well, very good. Now that we have Chunhua as a leverage over us, things will be easier in the future.
The two of them talked in whispers for a long time, Miao Qing was trying to get Chunhua's secrets. When Miao Qing felt that there was nothing more to ask, he stretched lazily and said:
"Let's go back quickly, or your uncle will eat us."
"Let's go, let's go."
Chunhua finally woke up from her dream. No matter how hard they tried, it was too late. Chen Weimin was standing at the entrance of the village. Looking at Chen Chunhua who was rushing over, he raised his arm without hesitation and hit her hard in the face.
"Pah..."
The loud slap frightened Miao Qing so much that he quickly ran away. Chunhua, with tears in her eyes, also ran towards home. Her father was too much. He even embarrassed her in front of outsiders.
Cheng Qiao, who was hiding in the woods nearby and watching the fun, stood up with a smile after Chen Weimin left. If he wanted to bully me, he might as well make a accusation first.
Chen Weimin chased her home, picked up a broom from the wall, and prepared to continue beating this troublemaker. Chunhua knelt down quickly and said, "Dad, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
"Are you mentally ill? You said you gave it to Wang the butcher and even accepted the betrothal gift, but you actually want Cheng Qiao to return the betrothal gift to the second-rate guy, give you the money, and then cancel Wang the butcher's marriage."
"Dad, I was bewitched by Miao Qing. Now I know I was wrong. I will stay at home and get married when the time comes."
Chen Chunhua was really afraid of her father's violent temper. If he beat her to the point where she couldn't get out of bed, then she really wouldn't need to get married. When Wang Butzi asked her about it, she wouldn't know how to answer.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you continue to harm the Chen family, I, Chen Weimin, will no longer have a daughter like you."
Chen Weimin angrily threw down the broom and returned to the village committee. He was a village accountant, but Cheng Qiao blocked him at the door to complain. How could he live his life in the future
Chen Weimin was furious, and Chen Chunhua was almost mad to death. What a shame that Cheng Qiao actually dared to complain. Let's see how he will deal with her in the future.
Cheng Qiao, who was being missed by others, had returned to the educated youth point, humming a tuneless song, holding in her hand red beans that had been cooked and softened in the space, mixed with white sugar and red dates.
Then add glutinous rice flour and stir evenly. Put on non-stick gloves, rub it into a ball with both hands, knead it tightly, pinch it firmly, then evenly coat it with glutinous rice flour, dip it in water, and coat it again with glutinous rice flour. This will make it more compact.
Then put the finished balls into a large pot and steam them over high heat for about twenty minutes. Then turn off the heat and steam them for a while, and the sticky rice dumplings are officially out of the pot.
Today it was Xu Laidie's turn to cook. As soon as she returned to the educated youth site, she saw Cheng Qiao putting sticky rice dumplings filled with red beans and red dates into the lunch box, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Cheng Qiao, you are making sticky bean curd. You are very skillful and your work is really pretty. I just don't know how it tastes. Let me try it for you."
After Xu Laidi finished speaking, he stretched out an unwashed hand, but was hit by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Cheng Qiao with a fire tongs.
In an instant, a red and swollen mark appeared on Xu Laidi's arm. The pain was so severe that he wanted to strangle Cheng Qiao to death, but he was frightened by Cheng Qiao's words and stopped all actions.
"This is the sticky rice dumpling I made for Li Huan. If you dare to do something bad, don't blame me for not warning you."
Xu Laidi glanced at his arm and wanted to make trouble, but when he heard the name of the second-rate guy, he became scared and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Why don't you cook? Are you waiting for the educated youth to come back and starve?"
After picking up the sticky rice dumplings, Cheng Qiao gave Xu Laidi a big sanitary ball, and went directly into the dormitory with the sticky rice dumplings. She couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth. Hmm, it was delicious, warm and sticky. Li Le would definitely like it.
After quickly putting most of the sticky rice dumplings into the space, Cheng Qiao went out with the lunch box. When he reached where Li's mother was working, he saw Li's mother and Li Le sitting under the shade of a tree eating lunch.
The lunch was quite rich, with the meat dishes they brought back yesterday and the sorghum cakes they made themselves, which they ate with great enthusiasm.
