Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 279

"Father, we owe the money to you and Mom, so you can take it with peace of mind!"

Li Xiuzhi took Li Jinmin's arm and persuaded softly.

"No, no, how can we take your money?"

Li Jinmin shook his head and said with a straight face.

"Father, if you say that, you don't think of me as your daughter!"

Li Xiuzhi frowned, and said angrily.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Li Jinmin hurriedly explained, "I think back then... oops, anyway, I didn't have the face to accept this money."

"You are my father, why don't you have the face to accept this money? Dad, I don't blame you for what happened back then. Really, if you didn't let me go, I wouldn't have found such a good man."

Li Xiuzhi said seriously.

"Don't fool me with your words. If I didn't drive you away back then, you wouldn't have married an old You."

Li Jinmin shook his head and said guiltily.

"Father, I really didn't fool you. Yes, my husband used to be an old man, but now the country has taken his hat off him. Not only did he pay him 500 yuan, but he also arranged for him to teach in elementary school. Now! He But a national teacher."

Li Xiuzhi said angrily.

"National teacher?"

Li Jinmin was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise.

"That's right! Our family can eat public food now."

Li Xiuzhi said slightly proudly.

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Jinmin said with a face full of relief.

"Can you collect the money now?"

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"No, no, your family has to live, and the money is too much, I can't accept it."

Li Jinmin hesitated for a while, but still shook his head and said.

"Hey, why don't you listen to advice!"

Li Xiuzhi said anxiously.

As she said that, seeing Li Jinmin's unmoved appearance, she sighed helplessly and said, "Okay! Let's treat this money as a loan from us, so it's okay!"

"However, you don't have to write an IOU. It will make people laugh when you spread it."

Li Jinmin looked at the sincere Li Xiuzhi, thought of his eldest son Li Jianguo's marriage, finally nodded and agreed.

"Father, go in and see your granddaughter."

Li Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, she dragged Li Jinmin into the house.

Soon after, Li Jianguo bought pork and brought it back, and Li Jianjun also picked a large basket full of vegetables.

Li Xiuzhi got up and took the meat and vegetables from them, and went into the kitchen with Hu Meilan to cook.

Xu Lingjun held Xu Yiyi in his arms, and accompanied his father-in-law and brother-in-law, chatting without saying a word.

Gradually, they also became familiar with each other.

Perhaps it was because of his full confidence that Xu Lingjun didn't have the nervousness of his son-in-law coming to the door as mentioned on the Internet in his previous life, but was more calm and calm.

How else can you say that money is a man's guts!
At noon, after Li Jianguo had dinner, he couldn't wait to go to Luo Xiaofang's house to finalize the marriage.

Xu Lingjun had nothing to do, so he offered to go with him, so as not to need Li Jinmin, the father-in-law, to go out in person.

Before they went out, Hu Meilan awkwardly slipped a bag of things to Li Jianguo and asked Li Jianguo to bring it to Luo Xiaofang's house.

Xu Lingjun glanced at it, and felt a little funny in his heart.

The bag contained the tobacco, alcohol and candy he had brought over.

However, he didn't have any objection to this. Anyway, the things had already been given to the mother-in-law, so it was Hu Meilan's business how to deal with them.

Li Jianguo glanced at Xu Lingjun, and seeing that Xu Lingjun didn't respond, he was secretly relieved, and then took Xu Lingjun out of the village.

On the way, through Li Jianguo's initiative, Xu Lingjun also roughly figured out Luo Xiaofang's family situation.

Like Li Xiuzhi, this girl is the second child in the family, with an idle and unmarried older brother on top, and two younger brothers who have dropped out of school.

Moreover, this girl is relatively soft-tempered and has no independent opinions in doing things. The only satisfactory thing is diligence.

The reason why Li Jianguo said these things was because he was worried that he would embarrass Xu Lingjun when he came to the door later.

Why do you say that?
This is about Luo Xiaofang's parents.

Luo Xiaofang's mother was fine, except that she was a little biased and powerful, and everything else was fine.

And Luo Xiaofang's father is a little bit worse, besides drinking and smoking, he also likes to swear and beat others, and he is always copying guys.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jianguo had to find a way to meet the requirements of Luo Xiaofang's family.

After Xu Lingjun finished listening, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he didn't take this little problem to heart at all.

At most, it's just a show of breaking boulders with bare hands.

Walking and chatting, it took more than an hour before they arrived at the destination of this trip, Shiba Village.

Li Jianguo lifted his spirits and walked quickly into the village.

Xu Lingjun followed behind with some depression.

Although there is no means of transportation in the Qilian Mountains, at least he can ride a horse. He can't accept that he has to rely on the No. 11 bus to go everywhere like now.

This is simply a waste of life!
He wondered in his heart whether he should take the time to go to the county to buy a bicycle and come back.

Although you still need a ticket to buy a bicycle nowadays, you can’t buy a new one, you can also buy a second-hand one!

Just as he made up his mind and decided to wait until tomorrow to get this matter done, Li Jianguo's excited voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Here we are, the one in front."

Xu Lingjun looked up and soon discovered the reason for Li Jianguo's excitement.

At this time, in the courtyard of that house, there was a delicate and delicate girl standing there.

However, there seems to be something wrong with this girl's state!

He frowned slightly, followed Li Jianguo quickly, and walked into the yard.

"Xiaofang, why are you crying?"

When Li Jianguo stepped forward, he immediately noticed that his sweetheart was in tears. His eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked.

"Brother Li, I'm fine."

Luo Xiaofang hastily reached out to wipe away her tears, and said with a choked voice.

"Xiaofang, don't worry, I've got all the money, I'll go find your parents and make a final decision on our marriage."

Li Jianguo relieved with distressed eyes.

"woooo~"

After hearing this, Luo Xiaofang's tears, which had just stopped, suddenly flowed out again for some reason.

"Don't cry! What's the matter with you?"

Hearing Luo Xiaofang's cry, Li Jianguo said anxiously.

Suddenly, there was an angry shout behind them.

"Boy, why are you here? Go, go."

Li Jianguo turned around to look at the sound, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why can't I come? Isn't your family going to add 50 yuan as a bride price? I brought the money now."

"Ah!"

Luo Dawei sneered with some disdain, and said: "Now if you want to marry my sister, you need at least 200 yuan as a gift, otherwise, you will go back to where you came from."

"you"

Li Jianguo's expression changed, and he was immediately speechless from anger.

Xu Lingjun looked at Luo Xiaofang, who was still crying, and at Luo Dawei, who had an arrogant face, and suddenly guessed a possibility in his heart.
