Chapter 167 Liu Lei
"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect his family to be in this situation at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have done that."
Speaking of that incident, Zhao Xiaogang still feels a little guilty.
At first, he was afraid that Liu Lin was just forced to admit her mistake to him, and he was still skeptical about what she said.
Later, she turned herself in, voluntarily accepted the punishment, and even delivered cabbage to the shop. He believed that what the man said was true. Although she made mistakes at the beginning, she sincerely repented later, and he felt that she was not really bad, but just a victim of life.
Forced.
Living in this world, when everyone has no choice, Zhao Xiaogang understands.
Gu Jinyao didn't expect that this person had done so much without realizing it, including investigating and trying every means to eliminate hidden dangers.
This person can do it, he can stand alone.
Gu Jinyao: "According to you, Liu Lin only dated that person because she had to pay off her debt?"
Zhao Xiaogang: "That's for sure. Who is Dong Weimin? He has been my classmate for a year. Do I know him well? He spends all his time sneaking around and has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Who blind girl can fall in love with him?"
Gu Jinyao nodded, "You are right."
In the book, Liu Lei recalled that when his sister was angry, he would sometimes say that she was blind, but after complaining, he would blush and say that the family was dragging her down.
At that time, the two younger children of the Liu family had a patient who needed food, drinks, expenses, and a debt of 200 yuan.
Liu Lei said that my sister is too upright, too stupid, and has too many shackles on her body that she cannot let go of.
At the beginning, she could have been a rogue and a person who broke her promise, so why did she have to use her own happiness to pay off the debt?
To put it bluntly, she is just like my dad at heart.
My father is simply ignorant. He fulfilled his own righteousness and harmed himself and his children.
My sister also wanted to break out of my dad's paranoid cycle, but she failed. She bowed to secular morality. She is a loser.
Turning around, look at me, it only took two years from the original roadside stall to the current specialty barbecue chain.
Although it took me a lot of people to get to this point, they hated me and even wanted to kill me and wanted me to die, but I succeeded and trampled them under my feet. How dare those people do anything to me? They can only look up to me.
This is a feeling that people like my sister simply cannot enjoy.
However, fame, fortune and money are fleeting, I want them if I want them, and I can give them up at any time if I want to.
Dong Weimin, I hated him and forced my sister to death. After looking for him for so many years, I finally cut off his head. The death penalty is death.
Even if I do it again, I will do it...
Gu Jinyao had been busy with her own affairs and had forgotten about this plot in the book, but when she suddenly remembered it, she didn't know why, but she recalled everything Liu Lei said in the book word for word.
Maybe it was because he spoke too freely, or maybe he felt that his family was too pitiful.
Gu Jinyao: "Xiaogang, do me a favor and ask Liu Lin to come to the store."
Zhao Xiaogang was even more puzzled, "Sister-in-law, what do you want from her?"
Gu Jinyao: "You will know then."
"Okay, I'll talk to her tomorrow."
When Zhao Xiaogang said this, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. Gu Jinyao looked at him and was startled. Isn't this person interested in Liu Lin? If so, could Zhao Xiaogang just mention it casually in the book?
The one?
After being reborn and following Ji Shaobei, Gu Jinyao was surrounded by many characters not mentioned in the book.
Like Ji Lan and Zhao Xiaogang, they are not even strangers in the book, but in real life they are closely related to themselves.
Thinking that Zhao Xiaogang might be that person, Gu Jinyao's heart skipped a beat.
But he has a cheerful and sunny temperament, and he doesn't look like someone who does stupid things!
That's all, that's all, let's observe and observe first, maybe it's not him.
Zhao Xiaogang got Gu Jinyao's permission and ran to Yantang Village after lunch the next day.
A child playing at the entrance of the village saw him and curiously asked: "Why are you here again?"
There are always people from other villages coming over during these days, and they all go to Liu's house, which even the children find strange.
Zhao Xiaogang was in a good mood and threw a few pieces of glass candy bought during the Chinese New Year to the kids.
"If I don't come, you won't be able to eat this candy."
Zhao Xiaogang came outside Liu's courtyard. He craned his neck to take a look and happened to see Liu Lin talking to a middle-aged woman standing under the eaves.
The middle-aged woman named Tan Yunying said to Liu Lin with disdain: "What day is tomorrow? We are getting engaged. Even if the Dong family doesn't care, you still have to give them face. After all, there are so many relatives. Think about it.
The solution is to lend some clothes to the two children from the neighbors. As for your father, if he has difficulty moving, he can rest at home. Anyway, Dong Weimin comes here often in the future, so it’s not like he’s never seen him before."
Liu Lin lowered her head and said nothing, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking a little stubborn.
Seeing this, Tan Yunying softened her tone and lowered her voice again: "Linlin, it's lucky that the Dong family can accept your family's situation. Now, in eight villages across ten miles, which family can afford two hundred yuan to marry a wife? At most five
10. Stop being stubborn with your aunt, Dong Weimin said that as long as you get married, he will take care of your father and the two younger ones from now on."
Nowadays, the starting price of betrothal gift in the village is fifty, usually eighty-eight, and some generous ones can also give one hundred.
However, these were not enough to repay her debt.
Liu Lin said softly: "I understand."
Tan Yunying smiled softly, "That's right. Remember not to be too late tomorrow. I'll leave first."
Then he shouted into the inner room, "Liu Wang, I'm leaving first."
After a while, Liu Wang's suppressed coughing sound came out, "Auntie, walk slowly."
When Tan Yunying heard this, he frowned unconsciously. Look at this, he could hardly speak. It looked like he wouldn't live long at all.
Tan Yunying turned around and stopped after taking a few steps, because Zhao Xiaogang was staring at her seriously and solemnly outside the bamboo fence.
"Linlin, is that young man looking for you?"
Tan Yunying felt strange. She didn't recognize him, so how could he look at her like that?
This young man looks neat and energetic, and rides a foreign car, but his eyes are not good-looking.
Liu Lin also saw Zhao Xiaogang. From the look of this man, it was clear that he was here to find her.
He, what did he come to find me for?
Liu Lin was puzzled. Facing Tan Yunying's questioning eyes, she said softly: "I'm here to collect the debt."
At the age where marriage was being discussed, Liu Lin didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, so she pinched her casually.
When Tan Yunying heard this, she really didn't want to think about anything else, and even told her, "Then talk to him carefully, and you will be able to pay him back the money soon."
Liu Lin: "I know."
Tan Yunying went out and walked away from the other side.
After confirming that Tan Yunying had gone away, Liu Lin came to Zhao Xiaogang and asked him with some uncertainty, "Are you looking for me?"
