There was cautious expectation in Zhao Qiming's voice.
He grew up with Su Yun, Su Ying and many people of the same age in the village.
Ever since he was little, his eyes have always been following Su Yun.
When he was young, he didn't know the reason, but when he grew up, he knew that he liked Su Yun and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Two years ago, he begged his parents to go to Lao Su's house to propose marriage.
Su Yun is the most hard-working and capable girl in the village. Her round little face, always bright eyes, delicate nose and bright red mouth make people want to look at her again and again.
I can't always look away.
After the old Su family agreed to the marriage, Zhao Qiming was very happy.
Occasionally, he would give Su Yun some small gifts, such as a few biscuits, two white rabbit toffees, etc. Although these things were not many, they were considered very thoughtful in this era of material scarcity.
What Zhao Qiming didn't know was that Su Yun never confiscated the things he gave to Su Yun before. Su Ying was directing and acting in everything, just asking for things from Zhao Qiming in the name of Su Yun.
He recovered from the memories of the past.
She looked at Su Yun with even more lingering eyes, "Xiaoyun, as long as you tell me this is not true, I will let my dad..."
"it is true."
Su Yun interrupted Zhao Qiming's words and spoke coldly.
The tone without much emotion completely shattered Zhao Qiming's remaining illusions.
He looked at Su Yun in disbelief, "Xiaoyun, what did you say? What were you just saying? You actually abandoned our engagement for that cripple of the Xiao family? How can you be so cruel, Xiaoyun?"
Zhao Qiming was greatly shocked and subconsciously took a few steps back.
My back hit someone.
"Qiming, brother Qiming, how are you?" It was Su Ying who was chasing after her.
Zhao Qiming looked pale and was extremely shocked.
He turned a deaf ear to Su Ying's caring words, and stared at Su Yun with his eyes, unwilling to miss a trace of her expression.
Su Yun snorted.
Su Ying raised her head, looked directly at her and said sternly: "Sister, what do you mean? You are already married to the Xiao family, do you still want to pester Qiming? Don't forget that he is your brother-in-law now."
Su Ying protected Zhao Qiming, fearing that Su Yun would steal her. Su Yun only found it funny.
"What do I mean, my dear sister, you don't understand?"
Su Yunpi looked at Su Ying with a smile: "I believe no one in this village knows better than you how I got to the Xiao family, right?"
Su Ying's face turned ugly for a moment after her foot was stepped on.
She subconsciously went to see Zhao Qiming.
Fortunately, Zhao Qiming was still immersed in the blow of Su Yun's "transfer to another relationship" and had not recovered. Therefore, he did not notice Su Ying's abnormal expression.
Another voice came from not far away. It was the relatives of the village chief's family, coming out to look for the departing bride and groom.
Su Yun didn't want to waste time arguing with them. She glanced at Su Ying and raised her lips: "My good sister, you have to take good care of your husband."
After leaving these words, she turned around and left in a swaggering manner.
There was constant noise and noise behind her, and Su Yun walked forward step by step with a sarcastic smile on her lips. Li Cuifen and Su Ying had deceived her to such an extent. Sooner or later, she would pay back the debt.
She had just taken a few steps when she saw a figure walking in front of her, leaning on a cane and limping awkwardly.
Judging from the direction he was walking, he had just gone to the village.
Are you worried that she will be eaten by the old Su family?
The gloom in Su Yun's heart was swept away, and she ran after him.
"Xiao Lin, are you here to pick me up?"
Her tone was cheerful, not even a trace of depression.
Maybe it's because today I can completely open up my relationship with the old Su family in front of the people in the village.
So she is in a good mood.
Xiao Lin, who had guessed his purpose, looked a little strange. Fortunately, his skin was bronze, so it was hard to tell.
He coughed and asked instead of answering Su Yun's question, "Why didn't you tell him the truth?"
"Tell him? Who are you talking about? Zhao Qiming?"
Did he hear the conversation between himself and Zhao Qiming?
Xiao Lin nodded.
Su Yun curled her lips and jumped back, so that her eyes could fall on Xiao Lin's face and observe his emotional changes at any time.
"Why should I tell him? Do you want me to tell him the truth?"
Xiao Lin's thin face showed a particularly serious expression, "You should make it clear to him."
"Then what? I was scolded to death by Li Cuifen and Su Ying again? And also offended the village chief and his wife? Xiao Lin, in your eyes, am I the kind of thankless person?"
To be honest, she felt that Xiao Lin, the older brother, was a bit inflexible.
Xiao Lin has his concerns: "At least he is good to you."
"So, you are full of water?"
Su Yun went to junior high school and studied with the educated youth in the village for a period of time. Her education was equivalent to graduating from high school.
It’s understandable if you can say something like this.
Xiao Lin raised his eyes and looked at the smiling girl facing him.
Her eyebrows are curved like crescent moons, and when she smiles, there are two faintly visible pear dimples on her cheeks.
He couldn't recover in time for a moment.
If he is a healthy person, then he must...certainly...become such a good girl...
"Um?"
Su Yun tilted her head and looked at him with interest.
Xiao Lin choked on his own saliva, coughed quickly and turned away: "At least... it's better than now. The worst case scenario is better than now..."
His voice was very low, so low that if Su Yun were farther away, she wouldn't be able to hear him.
But it's a pity that she heard it and heard it very clearly.
Su Yun stopped walking backwards.
Raising her face and staring at the thin man in front of her who was wearing a white washed shirt and whose face was covered with deep melancholy, she stood on tiptoes and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, how can you belittle yourself like this? This is inconsistent with your experience as a soldier!"
Su Yun turned around and walked side by side with him.
This time, she didn't look at his expression deliberately.
His tone was calm, as if he was talking to Xiao Lin, but also as if he was talking to himself: "We must be full of hope in life! After all, we are still alive, aren't we?"
This was her only thought after being soaked in the cold river water in her previous life.
Only when people are alive can they have hope!
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
After she finished speaking, she had already arrived at the door of Xiao's house. She reached out and pushed open the wooden door with a creaking sound. She said hello in a brisk tone: "Grandma, I'm back."
Xiao Lin raised his head and stared at the departing figure, feeling a strange warmth pass through his heart.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Xiao Lin also raised his lips in a rare move. Yes, he is still alive, so there is still hope.
He walked over with a cane, and before he crossed the threshold, he heard grandma's surprised voice coming from inside.
"What did you say? You want to take A-Lin to see her legs?"
