Cheng Qiao originally wanted to say that Xu Laidi set a trap for her, but she is still not sure how much weight she holds in her father's heart.
If all he sees is his stepmother and step-sister, it is useless to talk about it. It is because he was too stupid in his last life and was too ignorant of human nature.
"I don't agree, daughter. I heard from my father that you are only eighteen years old and you cannot hand over your life casually. You can wait until your father comes to examine the other person's character."
The voice coming from the phone line was obviously anxious. When Cheng Qiao wanted to say something else, the staff member came up and stretched out a finger to indicate that there was still one minute.
Cheng Qiao hurriedly coughed and said quickly: "Dad, the time is up in one minute. I also want to tell you that I was deceived by Xia Fen and Cheng Qin this time when I went to the countryside. Dad, you have to be careful.
ah."
"What, what did you get fooled?"
"Xia Fen said that Cheng Qin had a hidden illness and could not go to the countryside. He staged a painful drama in front of me. I, a fool, was deceived. Dad, you must be careful."
"There is also this matter. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You are really a..."
"Sorry dad, I will write to you in the future, but I will send it to your factory."
"Okay, dad will definitely do it, hey, hey..."
Cheng Qiao listened to the "beep" sound on the phone and put down the phone in despair. The time card was really accurate. It said five minutes, but it was five minutes. There was still a lot left unsaid.
Cheng Qiao gave the money, thought about it and bought letter paper at the post office. She walked to the partition next to the wall and started to write a letter. She simply wrote down everything she encountered after going to the countryside on the letter paper, eloquently.
I wrote five pieces.
Then he wrote the address of the steel factory on the envelope. Cheng Qiao was worried that the letter would be intercepted, so he sent it a registered letter. In this way, no one but Cheng Liguo himself could intercept the letter.
Cheng Qiao rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative. She wanted to buy some malted milk, tobacco and alcohol. Although her grocery store also had tobacco and alcohol, the quality was completely different from today's.
"Cheng Qiao, why are you here again? I understand. We are getting married. Do you want to prepare a dowry? Let me tell you, we have some defective sheets here. I don't want to vote for them. Do you want them?"
"Yes, by the way, this is for you to eat. My father sent it to me from Huizhou."
Cheng Qiao took out an oil paper bag from the cloth bag, with several pieces of sesame cakes wrapped in it. This kind of sesame cake is made of flour, sesame and sesame oil. It has a rich aroma of sesame, thin skin and lots of sesame, and is delicious.
"So you are from Huizhou. Well, it smells so good. I took it home to eat with my mother."
Qiu Min quickly wrapped the sesame cakes and put them in the drawer next to the counter, and even locked it. This kind of food was rare. If someone took advantage of it, there would be a lot of trouble.
They led Cheng Qiao to a warehouse. Except for the shelves, the warehouse was almost empty. It was completely incomparable to the warehouse in her grocery store.
Cheng Qiao secretly sighed, there was no way, supplies were in short supply at this time, but as time went by, life would gradually get better.
"Look, these are the only ones I wanted, but I didn't dare to buy them back, otherwise my sister-in-law would lose her temper again, and then they would fall into her hands."
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Qiu Min would actually tell her about the trivial matters at home. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. This was like treating her as a good friend.
"Slowly find a good family to marry. If you feel sorry for your parents, then separate the families. Otherwise, there will be more noise and trouble in the future."
"Well, I've said it too, but my father just won't do it. He has only one son, my eldest brother. My sister-in-law has given birth to a fat grandson for their old Qiu family. She is willing to do it even if the blood is drained."
"this……"
Of course Cheng Qiao understood how serious the patriarchal mentality was in this era, so he could only pat Qiu Min on the shoulder and asked her to hide more private money so that she could have good things that she could keep with her in the future.
Qiu Min's eyes lit up. He quickly pulled out a red and blue square sheet, pointed to the seam on the edge and said, "I like this one, but the hem is not locked properly. I can't even see if I sew it with a needle and thread."
come out."
"Sure, just put it here. When you get married, come and get it from me."
The two happily selected four sheets, of course Cheng Qiao took three and Qiu Min took one. Then they went to other places, bought some big meat buns, and went back satisfied.
On the way, while there was no one around, Cheng Qiao put all his things into the space and walked empty-handed in the direction of Xiangyang Village. But halfway, he was stopped by two people.
Cheng Qiao took a closer look and saw that it was Chen Chunhua and Miao Qing. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. The fields were being harvested. If these two people weren't working in the fields, what were they doing here?
"Cheng Qiao, I want you to return the betrothal gift to the second-rate man immediately."
Chen Chunhua angrily stopped Cheng Qiao, but she didn't expect that her push would not only push the second-rate man to Cheng Qiao's side, but also put the family in debt, and even push her out of the house.
"Why?"
Cheng Qiao tilted her head and looked at Chen Chunhua, with a slightly mocking look in her eyes that made Chen Chunhua's beautiful face change shape with anger.
"You can't marry a second-rate man. If you... marry a second-rate man, you won't be able to return to the city."
Chen Chunhua didn't know how to explain it, so she could only scare Cheng Qiao by saying that she couldn't return to the city.
"Chen Chunhua, I didn't have to marry a second-rate man, so I have to thank you for your dirty tricks."
Chen Chunhua was speechless and could only stand stubbornly in front of Cheng Qiao, as if I won't let you go unless you agree.
"Chen Chunhua, you still owe me an apology. By the way, didn't you also get the gift from Wang Tuzi? Why, you want to marry two girls with one girl."
"You're talking nonsense. That was a marriage arranged by my parents, and I never agreed to it."
"Did your family refund Butcher Wang's betrothal gift?"
Chen Chunhua was speechless. She just wanted to ask Cheng Qiao to refund the bride price to the second-rate son, and then ask for the bride price from the second-rate son, and then refund Wang Tuzi's bride price. Otherwise, how would her family have the money to refund the bride price?
"Oh, you don't want to take the second-rate son's bride price and return it to Wang Tuzi, but do you know that I have promised the second-rate son that when we get married, the gift will still be returned to the second-rate son, otherwise how will we live in the future?
.”
Miao Qing took a breath after hearing this. She was originally planning to help Chen Chunhua bully Cheng Qiao, but she immediately changed her mind. This Cheng Qiao was too stupid and naive, and her money was no longer hers, so it was pointless to fight with her.
"It was the second-rate man who told you that the bride price must be paid back after the wedding."
Chen Chunhua almost didn't believe her ears. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? But a second-rate person might really do this.
