Li Aimei's hair was disheveled, her face was bruised and covered in blood from her nose to her chin and the front of her clothes. She stumbled into Zuo's house and shouted for help. Her husband, who was looking for her later, caught up with her and dragged her out by her hair.
Li Aimei screamed for help, holding on to the door with both hands and refused to let go. Zuo Bolin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
Zuo Jingyan stopped her father again:
"Dad, it's hard for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Let's not get involved in the couple's affairs."
"It's time to go under the knife. If you don't leave it alone, someone will die."
Zuo Bolin was anxious because he saw Li Aimei holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
"If you don't care, the street will naturally take care of it. If you do, this woman will run to our house when she is beaten. Her man will look like a big drunk. People who drink are the most irrational. What if I give you a knife?"
Besides, you are going back to the countryside. During the day, my fourth sister-in-law is the only one left at home with the child. Can she stand up to a tall man?"
Zuo Jingyan refused to say anything and let her father go out and mind his own business. If it were any other woman, let alone her father, she would go out and take care of it, but not Li Aimei. She is a poisonous snake. She might turn around and bite you as soon as you finish helping her.
Taking risks for such a person is unacceptable and unnecessary.
Ma Fang became nervous after hearing what her sister-in-law said, and hurriedly said to her father-in-law:
"Jingyan is right. It's just me and my children at home during the day. I can't deal with such a drunken lunatic coming in. Besides, we have eight children at home. What if he wants revenge?"
Zuo Bolin sighed and finally sat down. Lu Haoting looked out the window and saw that Li Aimei had been dragged away by her man. Although the man yelled fiercely, he still had sense when he hit people, just punching and kicking them.
The kicking did not involve the use of a knife, so it was not life-threatening.
He didn't move or think about it. It was also a crime to prevent others from receiving retribution.
They ignored the commotion outside and it didn't last long. The street came and the police station also came and took everyone back to the police station for processing.
Everyone continued drinking and chatting about the replacement wedding. Zuo Bolin said:
"Haoting, your mother and I don't have anything to give you for your make-up wedding this time. We want to buy you a sewing machine to be used as a dowry for my Jingyan family."
The elder sister-in-law speaks on behalf of the sisters-in-law:
"Our sisters-in-law made four bunks and four buildings for you, which can also be considered as the dowry for my Jingyan."
The eldest brother spoke on behalf of the brothers: "The four of us bought a watch for each of you and Haoting, just for our sake."
Watches, sewing machines, bicycles, radios, three revolutions and one ring, four bunks and four roofs, these are all prepared by the man’s family. The bride’s family’s dowry is also great, let alone three of them? The only thing missing is a bicycle and a radio, but
It is considered the highest level of dowry.
Although Zuo Jingyan was good at this, she was still so moved by her family that she couldn't help but burst into tears and was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
Lu Haoting was shocked when he heard that his father-in-law had made such a large sum of money. This was more than the first dowry. The first time the Zuo family gave a dowry of 100 yuan and two sets of bedding, it caused a sensation in the village, saying that they
The family boss is in a hurry.
This replacement wedding is twice as high as the first dowry. The Zuo family really loves this daughter.
Lu Haoting stood up and expressed his position:
"Dad, brothers and sisters-in-law, we are just organizing a make-up wedding. This is not the first time we are getting married. We don't need a dowry. I accept all your wishes."
"That's not okay. What you don't want is what you don't want. What we give is what we give."
Lao Zuo is extremely determined. They feel sorry for Hao Ting and they don't care about their past grudges, so they must support their daughter.
Zuo Jingyan stood up and thanked her with a choked voice:
"Thank you parents, thank you brother and sister-in-law."
For such relatives, she would be a hundred times more kind to them.
Zuo Bolin touched his daughter's head and his eye circles were red:
"My child, live a good life with Haoting and be a good wife and mother."
Zuo Jingyan nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I will live a good life with Haoting."
Original owner, don't worry, I will honor this respectable old couple for you.
After his father-in-law came out, Lu Haoting complained about his wife:
"Jingyan, how can you agree to a dowry? It's not easy for your parents to save some money. My brother and sister-in-law just made some money. You spent a lot before being hospitalized, and now they buy you so many things?"
Zuo Jingyan smiled:
"That's what they want and I have to do it. I don't want them to lose too much. I will make up for them in other ways. Let's buy a new suit for dad. He has been living in poverty and poverty all his life. Let's give him some style."
Didn’t my brothers buy us watches? Let’s buy a watch for each of my brother and sister-in-law as gifts in return. What do you think?”
Of course Lu Haoting has no objection, but he still has practical difficulties: "I have no objection, but how can there be so many watch tickets?"
"Black market, you forgot that there is a black market. I will buy eight watch tickets in a while. By the way, I also want to give my brothers two bicycles, otherwise they will have to walk to work every day and waste time."
Lu Haoting smiled:
"Okay, it's up to you. I got another hundred yuan bonus this time, and I'm going to give you a subsidy soon. I'll give it to you when the time comes. You can spend it however you want."
Zuo Jingyan and Lu Haoting interlocked their fingers and shook his arm playfully to tease him:
"Comrade Lu Haoting, you are good at taking the initiative to hand over economic power."
Lu Haoting has also become interesting:
"The daughter-in-law is the finance minister of the family, and the man is the money rake outside. When the money is brought back, it must be handed over to the daughter-in-law, the money box."
Zuo Jingyan was made to laugh and was very happy. Lao Lu became less tough. He would also tell jokes to make his wife happy and give all the money he made to her. Such a man could not be found even if he held a lantern.
The two of them walked out of the alley talking and laughing. Li Aimei limped into the alley with the support of her parents. Seeing how affectionate they were, Li Aimei gritted her teeth in hatred. She glared at Lu Haoting:
"Lu Haoting, you are not worthy of being a soldier. You just stood idly by when you saw ordinary people being beaten. I will definitely go to the army and sue you."
Lu Haoting gave her a cold look: "People like you deserve to be beaten."
Zuo Jingyan walked up to Li Aimei and sneered at her:
"Do you have the nerve to join the army? Do you know how famous you are now? You forced your father-in-law to death and divorced your husband when he needed it most. Everyone reviled you for abandoning your husband and son. I thought you were in such a hurry to get a divorce. What did you find?
It’s time to move on. It turns out you like this one, so we have to respect your opinion and not meddle in other people’s business. After all, spanking is about kissing and scolding, and it’s about love. How can we get in the way of you two flirting and flirting? "
Li Aimei was so angry that she was shaken by Zuo Jingyan and Lu Haoting. She pointed at them and said something to them for a long time without saying a word.

Three days came in a flash. On October 1st, the weather was clear and cloudless. Zuo Jingyan got up early to dress herself up. She actually put on bridal makeup for someone else. It was the first time she put it on herself. Her hands were unsteady in excitement and her eyebrows were all tangled.
