Chapter 194: Severely injured

Li Song was stunned, his cold eyes squinting at him. "Who are you?"

Huang Kang: "..."

Huang Kang was very furious. "I am Yuan Xiang's childhood betrothed, we have known each other since we were young, we know each other's roots, you snatched my wife! If you are sensible, return her to me!"

Li Song looked down at him and sneered. "Fool."

After mocking him, he stepped toward the Yuan family.

"What did you say—" Huang Kang was ashamed and angry, reaching out to grab Li Song's back collar. Before he could touch it, Li Song clamped his wrist and twisted it hard with a backhand.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!" Huang Kang shouted in pain, his face turning white, his body leaning over, not daring to exert force in the opposite direction, while saying, "Let go, let go, my arm is broken..."

Li Song let go and pushed him hard, Huang Kang staggering backward.

"Get lost."

Without paying any more attention to this inexplicable person, he turned and entered the Yuan family's courtyard.

The Yuan family hadn't reacted yet, and the new son-in-law had already solved the bad guy who was making trouble.

Afraid that Li Song would have a knot in his heart, they explained a few things about the Huang family.

Li Song: "... I didn't think much, I knew the situation before, Comrade Yuan told me. I don't mind that she was engaged, and it wasn't her fault that the engagement was broken, it doesn't affect us forming a family."

Hearing these words, the Yuan family put their hearts back into their stomachs, especially Aunt Song, who was so happy that her eyes were hot, but her chest was held high.

She just said, a blessed woman doesn't enter a family without blessings.

Disdainfully glaring at the Huang family, Aunt Song snorted coldly, and when she looked at her new son-in-law, she couldn't be more satisfied. The son-in-law wasn't affected by the bad things, well done.

"... Don't worry about those messy things, let's go, let's go home."

Greeting her son-in-law, and seeing the villagers looking blank, she said unhappily, "What are you standing there for, be as lively as you should be, no one is allowed to add trouble to me today, eat the candy, sweeten your mouths."

She was reluctant to part with the candy, but it was prepared by her son-in-law, and he was saving face for her family. As the bride's mother, of course, she wouldn't slap the child's face, the engagement ceremony had to be held beautifully.

The adults wanted to save the candy for the children and put it in their pockets, but the children didn't have so many scruples and had already started eating, their cheeks slightly bulging, not daring to speak for fear that the sweetness in their mouths would fly away.

"Sweet, right?" Aunt Song smiled and looked at the dark, skinny children, saying, "If it's sweet, when my Xiang Xiang gets married, you say a few more auspicious words, let my daughter's future days be as sweet as candy."

The children were all smart; there was candy for the engagement, and there would definitely be candy for the wedding, their eyes were very bright, and they immediately patted their chests.

"Don't worry, Auntie, leave it to us."

"Can I say it now, can you give me one more candy?"

"Is there candy for saying auspicious words?"

"Wish Sister Xiang Xiang a happy engagement, a happy and fulfilling marriage, and a bright future." Some of the roll-kings had already started saying auspicious words.

Aunt Song smiled until her cheeks were sore.

The villagers squeezed into the Yuan family's courtyard, flattering the Yuan family, and everything they said was good words. Old Man Yuan's back was straight, and he felt that his courtyard was still too small.

Yuan family: "..."

The room was decorated festively.

Lin Zhao saw Yuan Xiang wearing new clothes, her hair combed smooth, a plastic red flower on her temple, and her cheeks red, with powder applied.

"... Zhao Zhao, you're here." Yuan Xiang said with a red face.

"Sister Xiang Xiang is really spirited today, beautiful." Lin Zhao praised after sitting down.

Before Yuan Xiang could speak, her cousin squeezed in front of Lin Zhao, staring at the clothes she was wearing, her eyes flickering. "Sister, where did you buy your clothes? They're really good-looking."

"... I made them myself." Lin Zhao said perfunctorily, she really didn't like this girl's eyes.

"Ah?" The little girl covered her mouth, trying to make a coquettish surprised expression, but unfortunately, those eyes were too active. "Sister, your hands are really skillful, my mom doesn't even let me do it."

Yuan Xiang's tone was neither salty nor light as she dismantled her. "That's because your family lacks fabric."

"..." The little girl couldn't hold her face, pretending to be annoyed: "Sister Xiang Xiang!"

Yuan Xiang didn't want to find trouble on her big day, so she didn't say anything unpleasant and started talking to Lin Zhao.

Seeing her cold face, the little girl was unhappy and left with a pout.

"Is that your cousin?" Lin Zhao asked in a low voice.

"Mm." Yuan Xiang smiled embarrassedly. "Children love to compare, sometimes they speak harshly, Zhao Zhao, don't pay attention to her. If she comes to you to find discomfort, tell me, I'll go scold her."

She was the oldest girl in the Yuan family and had always let her younger brothers and sisters in the family, usually not arguing with them. However, ever since she discovered that some people didn't deserve a good face, she said whatever she had to say. In this way, she felt comfortable, looking at the sky as blue and the water as clear, feeling comfortable in every way.

Lin Zhao raised her eyebrows.

Sister Xiang Xiang has changed a lot.

Yuan Xiang saw her doubt and said with a smile, "I used to always feel that because I was engaged and broken, I implicated the sisters in the family. If they said anything unpleasant, I would endure it if I could, so as not to make it difficult for my mother, but who knew..."

She paused. "I've figured it out, people can't be too humble."

It would make people climb on their noses and faces.

Lin Zhao patted Yuan Xiang's arm and gave her an incomparably approving look. "Thinking this way is right."

Yuan Xiang smiled brightly. "Mm, this is what I learned from you, it makes people feel comfortable all over."

"There are still many places on me worth learning, Sister Xiang Xiang can learn as much as she wants, I'm not stingy." Lin Zhao straightened the red flower on Yuan Xiang's hair and pinned an exquisite star brooch on her chest.

Yuan Xiang looked down. "What is this?"

"A brooch, just a simple accessory, do you like it?" Lin Zhao scanned it and nodded with satisfaction. Her eye was really good; the first time she saw this brooch, she felt it suited Yuan Xiang.

"It must be expensive, right?" Yuan Xiang touched the star gently, her eyes also lit up by the starlight.

"It's inappropriate to say this, no matter how expensive it is, now it's just a gift." Lin Zhao's words were light and slow.

"... Thank you, Zhao Zhao." Yuan Xiang said with a smile.

The engagement gifts sent by the Lin and Song families gave Yuan Xiang and the Yuan family a lot of face, Aunt Song had light on her face and couldn't close her mouth from smiling.

Look, this is the benefit of having capable people in the maternal family.

Today was just an engagement, no feast was prepared, after all, the cost was too high, how could a family that digs the ground afford it.

The Yuan family was a simple family and wouldn't do things like slapping their faces to look fat, so they asked the chef to make a big pot of stewed vegetables.

The vegetables were sent by each family in the village, and they bought a lot of tofu and vermicelli themselves. There were many big slices of meat in the vegetables, and the meat was bought and sent by Li Song. Everyone could eat several slices, and everyone was very satisfied, more satisfied than eating a feast.

Eating a feast wouldn't necessarily mean eating so much meat.

Even the twins, who were used to eating good things, liked it and sat on small stools with the children in the village, eating without raising their heads.

Seeing Gu Hangbao eat the carrots he usually didn't like, Lin Zhao couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising.

The second cub child really changed his mind.

Lin Shichang: "What are you laughing at?"

"Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao were thinking about eating the feast, and they didn't get to eat it today. I was really afraid Gu Hangbao would shout it out and lose face for the Yuan family, but I didn't expect him to endure it, just pouting unhappily. I thought he would make a temper and refuse to eat, but who knew he would smile after just one taste, it seems he likes it very much."

Why didn't she mention Xiang Yubao? Because the older brother had high emotional intelligence, spoke implicitly, and never said anything that would make people unable to get off the stage.

Lin Zhao tasted the tofu in the big pot of vegetables, the taste was indeed very special, and after eating one piece, she wanted to eat a second piece.

"The big pot of vegetables is better than the feast." Lin Shichang said, "They haven't eaten it before, so they are curious, they will know when they taste the flavor, my nephew is young, but not stupid."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Fengshou Brigade.

Gu Chan appeared at the entrance of the village with a pale face.

She stopped at the door of the Gu family's third branch, saw an iron lock hanging in the middle of the door, her legs lost strength, and her body fell downward.

She knelt on the ground.

"A-Chan?" Wang Chunhua saw Gu Chan, was stunned for a few seconds, and walked over to support her. "What's wrong?"

Looking at the lock on the Gu family's door, she hurriedly said, "Xiang Yubao's mother took the four cubs to the feast, her cousin is engaged today."

"Are you okay? Why don't you go to my house and sit for a while?"

Gu Chan's face was pale, her lips were dry and peeling, and her eyes were also unfocused. She held her breath to seek help, but seeing that lock, her whole body lost strength. At this moment, she could only stand up by leaning on Wang Chunhua.

"Auntie, please send me home."

Wang Chunhua didn't know what Gu Chan had encountered, so she did as she said, calling her daughter-in-law to send Gu Chan to the Gu family's old house together.

"Chenghuai's mother!"

Gu Mu heard the voice and went out. Seeing the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supporting her eldest daughter, she stepped forward with the wind under her feet.

"A-Chan, what's wrong with you? Did you fall? Where did you fall, are you okay, why do you need someone to support you, sit down first, sit down and let Mom see..."

The voice was very loud.

The others in the Gu family came out of the room one after another.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just fell on the road." Gu Chan shook her head, her fingers sinking into her palms, looking nervously at her mother's family, her heart hanging high, her voice trembling. "Mom, I want, I want to borrow money, does the family... have any?"

She had already married, and the Gu family had prepared a dowry for her back then. The division of the family had nothing to do with her. Gu Fu and Gu Mu felt it wasn't a big deal and didn't ask anyone to tell her.

"Borrow money? Where would the family have money!" Gu Chan was afraid that Gu Chan would borrow her dowry money, her eyes vigilant, and her tone of voice was also very bad.

"The family just divided, and Dad and Mom don't even have a hundred yuan, and they still have to prepare a dowry for me. If I borrow it from you, what should I do? Eldest sister, one cannot be too selfish, you are spilled water, don't always come home..."

The words she said became more and more excessive. Gu Chan lowered her head and bit her lip, not speaking, her eyes filled with mist.

Gu Chan's words didn't show any sisterly affection at all. Gu Mu was so angry that she swung her arm around and slapped Gu Chan on the face.

This slap was mixed with anger and used ten percent of her strength.

A five-finger print appeared on her fair face.

"Get out!" Gu Mu's face was flushed, her eyes were also red, full of disappointment and heartache. "A-Chan is your own sister, what happened to her, why borrow money... you don't even ask, only caring about your dowry, how did I give birth to such a heartless rotten thing like you, get out, get out wherever you want, get far away."

Gu Chan covered her hot face. "Get out then, I don't want to have a mother like you either!"

After finishing the words, she glared at Gu Mu hatefully, returned to the room to pack her things, and then rushed out of the house.

Gu Yucheng made a gesture to chase, but was stopped by Gu Mu.

"Don't worry about her! Let her do whatever she wants! Your father and I will just pretend we never gave birth to her!"

What she didn't know was that after Gu Chan went out, in a fit of anger, she went to the newspaper office and published a statement severing ties with the Gu family.

Zhao Liuniang held her husband's arm and whispered, "Listen to Mom."

Gu Yucheng didn't really want to chase, so he stayed behind, pretending to be in a dilemma.

Gu Chan: (?? w??? ‖)?

Gu Mu sat beside Gu Chan and turned her head to look at her. "A-Chan, how much do you want to borrow? Your father and I don't have much money on hand, we can scrape together eighty for you, is that enough?"

"... Not enough." Gu Chan said with shame, and only then did she explain the reason for borrowing money. "Xiang Dong is injured, injured very severely, he is still in the county hospital, the doctor said that to cure him, it will take more than four hundred yuan. I took out all the money in the family, and it was only a little over a hundred, my parents-in-law added thirty-five, and it's still far from enough, I can only come back to borrow..."

When Gu Mu heard that her son-in-law was severely injured, her face changed, and she guessed: "Did Xiang Dong go deep into the mountains?"

"No." Gu Chan felt an unspeakable resentment in her heart, even if she felt that this emotion was wrong, she still couldn't help but resent. "... To save someone."

The person saved in the mountains was hit by a wild boar, and when he was brought down the mountain, he almost had no breath.

What's hateful is.

The person saved was picked up by his family, let alone medical expenses, he didn't even say a word of thanks.

It's really not worth it.

Gu Chan felt it wasn't worth it for her husband.

Gu Mu couldn't say that her son-in-law's act of saving people was wrong, so she sighed and went into the room to get money.

After coming out, she looked at Gu Qingzhou. "Qingzhou, you still have a few years before you get married, lend the money to your eldest sister first. Your eldest sister and brother-in-law are both hardworking people, as long as they get through this difficulty, they won't not pay it back."

If they can't get through... they won't not get through!

"Lend it, I'm not Gu Chan, I don't care about these things." Gu Qingzhou mocked Gu Chan, turned and entered his room, took the fifty he got from the family division, and the two he had saved, a total of fifty-two yuan, and stuffed it into Gu Chan's hand.

"Eldest sister, take it, brother-in-law's injury is important, pay it back whenever you can, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Gu Qingzhou comforted.

Gu Chan moved her lips a few times, but couldn't say a word.

She sniffed hard, wiped the corner of her eye, and smiled with tears.

"Why do I feel that Qingzhou has suddenly grown up... In my memory, he is still that child who doesn't like to talk and always works honestly, he can even tell me not to put too much pressure on myself..." Gu Chan's voice choked, her throat feeling like it was blocked by a ball of cotton.

Gu Fu patted his youngest son's shoulder, his tone proud. "Qingzhou has long been a man, well done, my son is well done."

*Cough*... Gu Qingzhou blushed.

Gu Yucheng returned to the room to get the money and came out, only to hear this sentence, and immediately said sourly: "What about me? Dad, I am also your son."

Without waiting for Gu Fu to answer, he also gave the second branch's family division money to Gu Chan.

"Fifty yuan, pay it back slowly, we have food and housing, we are not in a hurry to use money."

Gu Chan couldn't reach out. Gu Yucheng had a family, and the family was divided. She was afraid that Zhao Liuniang would make a fuss with him if she took this money.

Zhao Liuniang knew what her sister-in-law was hesitating about after a little thought, so she helped Gu Yucheng.

"Accept it, I trust you when I lend you money, you are not Gu Chan, if it were Gu Chan, let alone fifty yuan, I wouldn't lend even a dime." Zhao Liuniang said straightforwardly.

Gu Chan saw that she was sincerely lending it, so she accepted it.

She took out paper and pen, wrote an IOU, and handed them to the "creditors" one by one.

Her husband was still in the hospital, and the borrowed money was enough for the time being, so she didn't delay much. Gu Fu and Gu Mu were worried and asked Gu Yucheng to send her.

Lin Zhao was afraid that the old house would need a bicycle, so before leaving, she asked Bang Bang to push the bicycle to the old house, which happened to be useful now. ===== CHAPTER 195 =====

Lin Zhao was afraid the old house might need a bicycle, so before leaving, she had Bang Bang push the bicycle to the old house; it would come in handy right now.
