"Hey, Cheng Zhiqing, this is the gift my brother gave you, a bicycle."
Li Le walked in pushing his bicycle. On the back seat of the bicycle was Cheng Qiao's dowry.
Qian Longkun was already nodding in his mind. Although the gift of ten yuan was a little less, a bicycle was worth a lot of money, and Li Huan was very sincere in offering it.
Han Chunmei and the others stopped talking. Yesterday, the Wang family's aunt didn't talk about cloth, rice and pork, let alone bicycles, so they were dissatisfied.
"Cheng Qiao, you are already disfigured, how can you want so many things from the Li family? You must have used some shameless means, right?"
Although Xu Laidi was very satisfied with Cheng Qiao marrying a second-rate man, he felt so sad when he saw that the second-rate man could actually give Cheng Qiao so many things as a betrothal gift.
No, how could a second-rate guy with such a poverty have a bicycle? Could it be that he stole it? No, he probably borrowed it. Thinking of this, Xu Laidi puffed up his flat chest and wanted to goad Cheng Qiao a few more words.
But Cheng Qiao has already endured it no longer, and there is no need to endure it anymore. Your brother Xu has tried to ruin his reputation time and time again, and he will beat you into a pig-headed person without your surname being Cheng.
He turned around and slapped Xu Laidi's sallow face. After finishing the stroke, he thought about it and slapped him again, which made his palms numb with pain.
Xu Laidi was suddenly slapped twice by Cheng Qiao. Before he could recover, Cheng Qiao grabbed his hair and pulled it down desperately, finishing the front and back.
Xu Laidi was no longer a vegetarian. She endured the pain and grabbed Cheng Qiao's face with both hands. She almost caught the gauze on Cheng Qiao's forehead several times. Li Huan was so anxious that she put down what she was holding.
Just rush to help.
Han Chunmei and Zhang Yuefang were also about to step forward to intervene, but before the three of them could move, a figure flew over like the wind, and hit Xu Laidi hard on the back and buttocks with a stick in his hand.
"Lele..."
Mother Li screamed in fright. It was common for old women in the village to fight, but little girls rarely fought because doing so would leave a bad reputation for being tough.
Only then did Cheng Qiao realize that it was Li Huan's younger sister, Li Le, who was helping him. He pulled Li Le behind him, grabbed the fire stick from Li Le's hand, and aimed it at Xu Laidi's head.
He was hit hard on the brain.
"Ah...Cheng Qiao, you madman, ah...I was wrong, don't fight, ah...it hurts me to death, come here, help me, you are killing someone..."
Educated youths have never seen Cheng Qiao go crazy. Cheng Qiao was so excited for the first time after her rebirth because Li Le's appearance reminded her of her previous life.
In his previous life, Li Le was really kind to him. He would always secretly send him any delicious food and even brought up his own child. However, because the child was drowned, Li Le became a little stupid because of guilt.
Later, she married Chen Dazhu, the most honest and friendly person in the village. She originally thought that Chen Dazhu would treat Li Le kindly, but she did not expect that Li Le would eventually die under Chen Dazhu's violence.
Therefore, Xu Laidi is the murderer who indirectly killed Li Le. Today, he will help Li Le get some interest back, otherwise he will really feel sorry for such a good little girl.
Seeing how fiercely Cheng Qiao beat Xu Laidi, Mother Li nodded with satisfaction. In Xiangyang Village, if a woman is too weak, she will be easily bullied.
When she saw Cheng Qiao protecting Li Le, a smile appeared on her face. The sister-in-law protected her sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law protected her sister-in-law. If such a daughter-in-law is married to the family, everything will be prosperous for the family.
Cheng Qiao finally stopped. Xu Laidi, who was in pain all over, looked at Cheng Qiao with fear in his eyes. What on earth had possessed this lunatic? How could he have changed so much and become so violent?
"Auntie, I have received your betrothal gift, but there are thieves in the educated youth area, so it is not safe to leave the things here. You can take them back first and wait until the day before the wedding to bring them over."
After Cheng Qiao finished speaking, he glanced at Chai Jianmin and Xu Laidi. Mother Li immediately understood and nodded with a smile, but Li Huan shook his head. Not only were the betrothal gifts from them, but also Cheng Qiao's dowry.
"Cheng Qiao, there is no reason to take back the betrothal gifts after leaving home. Leave these things at the educated youth point. Let Lele accompany you to count them and register them. If there are any missing items on the wedding day, report them to the police."
Chai Jianmin was furious, but they didn't mention him by name, so he could only hold it in. Xu Laidi shrank a little. She did have this idea, but now that the second-rate guy had said it out like this, she didn't dare to move.
"Second brother, why don't you go to Uncle Niu and buy a big wooden box? Put your things in the big box and put a big lock on it." Li Le rolled his eyes and took it to heart.
Uncle Niu is not only a cowherd, but also a very good carpenter. When he has nothing to do at home, he always packs boxes, kangqin, wooden basins, etc., and exchanges food or money with the villagers.
"Lele is so smart. Second brother, go buy it now. Cheng Qiao, lend me the bicycle and I will return it to you later."
Li Huan smiled. He could ask Uncle Niu to make a wooden box with bright red paint. On the wedding day, when the dowry was carried, not only would Cheng Qiao be happy, but Cheng Qiao would also have face.
"Li Huan, wait a minute, the box is the bride's dowry. What's wrong with you, a grown man, ordering the box?" Cheng Qiao stopped him quickly and said with a blushing face.
Jiang Guangrong and several male educated youths were stunned. Cheng Qiao's slightly shy look was somewhat inconsistent with the fierceness just now, and they had not yet reacted.
Han Chunmei and several female educated youths also looked at everything in front of them in a daze, always feeling that they were dreaming. Cheng Qiao was not married yet, how could she be so fierce, but they liked Cheng Qiao like this.
"Cheng Qiao, this is your bride price, right? What's on the back of the bicycle?"
"It's the dowry I bought in the county town."
After Cheng Qiao said that, he and Lele moved everything into the female educated youth dormitory, pushed the bicycle to the door of the dormitory, and locked it with a "click".
Zhang Yuefang twisted her arm. Oops, it really hurts.
Han Chunmei also didn't know how to express her emotions. On the contrary, sisters Xiaoqin and Xiaoping became happy. Cheng Qiao was getting married. What gifts should they give them.
"Auntie, why don't you and Lele stay for breakfast and try my craftsmanship?"
Mother Li shook her head. She still had to go to the fields, otherwise the village chief would deduct cents.
"Auntie, please wait."
When Cheng Qiao saw Li's mother about to leave, she quickly stopped her, turned around and ran to the female educated youth dormitory. When she came out again, she had an oil paper bag in her hand.
"Auntie, eat it. I will bring you lunch."
"What are they, ah, big meat buns, they are too expensive. You still have a wound on your head, so keep them for yourself."
