Chapter 943: Foolish Uncle (1/2)

After the farm was divided into households in the 1980s, the original harvest production team was renamed Taohua Village. Due to the relaxation of policies in the past two years, the villagers' lives are much better than before, at least they are no longer as tired as before. He was dying, but he couldn't even afford a full meal.

Taohua Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has good geographical conditions. Even if the fields assigned to each household are of the lowest quality, they are more fertile than those in other villages. In addition, the Niangniang Mountain behind is rich in products, and the fields in their village are Life is much better than in the neighboring villages.

Now it has just passed Grain Rain, and spring plowing has ended long ago. After a few rains, mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountains are rushing to emerge. Many villagers in the village who have free time go up to the mountains in twos and threes to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots. They may have better luck. Son, if you dig a large piece, you can add a few fresh vegetables to your home. The rest can be sold on the black market in the town, which will help you make some income.

The terrain here in Beishanwa is rugged, and there is only a sparse wild peach forest here. Villagers rarely come here, so it has become a place for young people to fall in love.

At this time, under a tall peach tree, the girl wearing a pink gown looked at the tall man opposite with red eyes, and spoke with choked sobs.

"Brother Luoshan, I'm sorry, I can't be with you. Aqi was injured because of me. I can't ignore him. I'm sorry, please forget me..."

After hearing what the young girl said, the tall dark-faced man couldn't help but step forward and reached out to grab the young girl's arm. She trembled and wanted to retreat, but she accidentally tripped on an old tree root. The little girl let out a cry of surprise, and her body fell backward softly.

When the black-faced man saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her. As soon as he pulled her, the little girl fell into the arms of the black-faced man.

The little girl's face turned red and she struggled to escape from his arms. However, the black-faced man held her tighter, and his arms like iron towers tightly hugged her waist, as if he wanted to hold her whole body. It's like rubbing them all into one's arms.

"Wantao, I'm in so much pain. Obviously, I met you first. Obviously, we are more suitable. Qi Wang has become a fool. Why do you still marry him? He can't even take care of himself. You marry him?" What will he have to rely on in the future?"

The little girl was trying not to cry at first, but her sweetheart's words made her heartbroken. After all, she couldn't hold it back and lay down in the man's arms and cried loudly.

"I didn't want to, but, my father and Brother Aqi's father had made an engagement long ago. Brother Aqi's father died to save my father, and now Brother Aqi is stupid because of me. , how could I not marry him?”

The little girl cried sadly, her tears falling down like broken beads. She lay on the dark-faced man's thick chest, venting her pain to her heart's content.

She didn't want this, but what could she do? If Qi Wang was good, she could still bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement, but Qi Wang became a fool because of her, and he would definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future. If she didn't marry him, his life would be ruined.

The little girl's cries broke the heart of the black-faced man Luo Shan. He wanted to drag the little girl to his aunt regardless, and loudly tell her that he and Wantao were in love, and she couldn't force her. Zhu Wantao married that fool Qi Wan.

But Luo Shan also knew Li Wantao's temperament. Although she was delicate and soft, like cotton and had no temper, it was useless no matter what others said about her decision. Since she had already decided to be with Qi Wang, After taking care of that fool for the rest of his life, it will be useless no matter what he says.

Why are their lives so miserable?

Luo Shan hugged Li Wantao tightly, as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his own flesh and blood. Listening to her high and low cries, Luo Shan finally couldn't hold it back. He held Li Wantao's shoulders, Forcing her to look up at him.

"Wantao, let's escape."

At this time, Luo Shan's eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames, and the scorching temperature seemed to be able to burn Li Wantao's body. She heard Luo Shan say that he wanted her to run away with him and leave this place forever.

"It's no longer like the past. You still need a letter of introduction when you go out. We are both adults. I have a lot of strength and you are diligent. We can survive even if we leave Peach Blossom Village. I will take you away. Okay? When I think about you marrying Qi Wang, and from now on we live under the same roof, but I have to watch you follow that fool in and out, I will go crazy. Please come with me, please. …”

Seeing this always strong man showing such a humble look, begging for her to escape with him, Li Wantao felt like her heart was twisting in a knife, and the pain was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe.

She seemed to be desperate to escape with Luo Shan, but her reason finally defeated her emotions. She suppressed the crazy impulse and shook her head towards Luo Shan.

"I'm sorry, I can't run away. If I run away with you, where will my parents be? My parents are so good to me. If I run away with you, how will my two younger sisters get married in the future? Can my little brother get a wife in the future? "

Li Wantao likes Luo Shan very much. If these things hadn't happened, she would be willing to fight for her and Luo Shan's future, but she knows that she can't. There are too many things between her and Luo Shan. After all, they are... There is no way to be together.

"I'm sorry, Brother Luo Shan, let's just forget about it..."

As she said this, Li Wantao took advantage of Luo Shan's confusion and struggled to break free from his restraints, crying and running down the mountain.

She ran very fast, not daring to look back or stop, because she was afraid that her originally determined heart would waver after she stopped. She was afraid that she would run away with Luo Shan regardless of everything. Even if she loved Luo Shan very much, she would never do such a thing.

Looking at Li Wantao's back as she ran away quickly, Luo Shan did not go up to keep her. He fell to the ground and roared like a beast.

Why is God so unfair? He already had nothing, why did God take away Li Wantao who belonged to him? Why on earth?

"Big girl, you're back. Hurry up and help mom sew these clothes. Your naughty brother tore the clothes again. Only your skillful hands can mend them."

When Li Wantao returned home, she had adjusted her mood. She washed her face by the river at the entrance of the village before returning. Although her eyes were still very red, she was not as embarrassed as before.

When Li Wantao's mother Zhang Shufang saw her daughter coming back, she waved to her and asked her to come over and mend the clothes that her youngest son had torn.

Among the three daughters of the Li family, Li Wantao's needlework was the best. Basically, all the clothes in the house, big and small, were made by her.

Although the life in the past two years was much better than those years before, the hard-working and simple style of the rural family has not changed for many years. However, the eleven-year-old boy is in the naughty age. He is either chasing chickens and dogs or climbing walls and trees all day long. His clothes are torn three times a day. Fortunately, Li Wantao's craftsmanship is good enough, otherwise the clothes would have become rags and could not be worn.

Li Wantao entered the yard silently, picked up the clothes handed by Zhang Shufang and began to mend them. She was threading the needle on one side, while Zhang Shufang was picking up wild vegetables that she had just picked from the mountain on the other side, preparing to pickle some and bring them to school for the two girls to eat when they go to school.

She was busy with her hands and her mouth was not idle for a moment, chattering to Li Wantao.

"Your wedding date with the Qi family kid has been set, at the beginning of next month..."

Before Zhang Shufang finished her words, the long needle in Li Wantao's hand pierced her finger fiercely. Li Wantao cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Shufang saw this and hurriedly got up to take a look. She saw that Li Wantao's finger injury was not serious, but she cried as if she had suffered a great injustice. Zhang Shufang also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing her daughter crying, Zhang Shufang sighed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Otherwise, I will talk to your father and see if our family can give some money to compensate the old Qi family. Let's forget about this marriage..."

The marriage between the Li family and the Qi family was originally the best. Although the boy from the Qi family was not strong and did not know how to work in the fields, his academic performance was good and he was ranked among the top in the county. If nothing unexpected happened, he could be admitted to university. If he went to university, he would be a person who ate public grain in the future. If my daughter married him, her life would not be bad.

Originally, Zhang Shufang was very optimistic about this marriage, but who could have known that such a big accident would happen in the middle? A good student, but he became stupid. Now his IQ is like that of a five or six-year-old child. Although he is better than an ordinary fool, it is impossible for him to set up a family.

After the Qi family boy got into trouble, Zhang Shufang mentioned to her husband tactfully that she wanted to call off the marriage. Their good daughter couldn't marry and live a widow, right?

But her husband was a stubborn person. As soon as she showed her intention, her husband flew into a rage and raged at her. Later, he personally came to the door and finalized the marriage between the Qi and Li families. The wedding date was set in a hurry. They would get married next month. This matter had been publicized by her husband and known to the whole village. Although Li Wantao had not married yet, she was already the ironclad daughter-in-law of the Qi family boy.

At first, her daughter had been very calm, not crying or making a fuss. She seemed to have accepted her fate and was preparing to get married obediently.

Although Zhang Shufang felt sorry for her daughter, she didn't react much when she saw her. Zhang Shufang was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't say much.

But now seeing her daughter crying like this after pricking her finger, Zhang Shufen knew that she was wronged, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

How could her daughter get into this mess?

After hearing her mother's words, Li Wantao wanted to say that she would not marry Qi Wang regardless of the consequences, but when she thought of her father's face, the kindness of the Qi family to them, and that Qi Wang became stupid because of her, she couldn't say no.

She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, forced a smile at her mother, and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, I'm fine, don't think too much, the marriage has been decided, how can I regret it? Uncle Qi saved my father's life, and this is what our family owes the Qi family. We should pay back what we owe to others. Aunt Qi is easy to get along with. Although Qi Wang is stupid, he listens to me. And Luo Shan, Luo Shan is also a sensible and filial person. If I marry him, my life will not be bad."

Speaking of this, Li Wantao showed a forced smile on her face: "What's more, I'm not a freeloader. As long as we work harder, we can always live on. Sooner or later, this woman will get married. Who wouldn’t you marry?”

As she spoke, tears flowed out of Li Wantao's eyes again. She couldn't say anything else, but she didn't want to cry in front of her mother, so she excused herself because she felt uncomfortable and went back to her room to rest.

Zhang Shufang stood in the yard, listening to the suppressed cries coming from her daughter's room. It felt like someone was beating her heart with a big hammer, causing her whole body to twitch in pain.

Her daughter talks nice, but Zhang Shufang knows that she is unwilling in her heart. She has good looks and is a high school student. There are many young people who like her. The Li family is considered to be one of the top families in the village. , Li Wantao can choose a good man even if she chooses with her eyes closed, but now she has to marry a fool because of her man's kindness...

Zhang Shufang gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart.

After the man at home came back, she dragged Li Guofu into the room and talked about Li Wantao's marriage.

"Master, I have never asked you for anything in the past. Now I am begging you. Don't let our family Wantao marry. She has a soft temper and refuses to say anything. She keeps all her grievances in her heart. If you ask her to marry a fool, she will suffer a lot..."

However, before Zhang Shufang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Guofu. He looked at his wife with a cold face and said firmly: "You don't have to tell me any more about this matter. It's my decision." My son will never change. Brother Qi saved me. He exchanged his life for mine. This kindness must be repaid. "

"What's more, you didn't say you would break off the engagement when Qi Wang was doing well in the past. Now that I'm stupid, you say you want to break off the engagement. How can such a thing happen? Do you believe that if we call off the engagement today, we will be poked by the whole village tomorrow? Backbone? Do you still want to establish yourself in the village? "

Zhang Shufang seemed to be convinced, but she still couldn't bear to think of her daughter's appearance: "But Wantao..."

Li Guofu interrupted her again: "You think I don't feel sorry for Wantao? In the worst case, we can help her more when she gets married. People in the Qi family are easy to get along with. Sister-in-law Qi also treats Wantao like a daughter. She Such a kind person cannot treat our daughter lightly."

But how can this be a good thing about Sister-in-law Qi? If you marry a fool, what hope can you have in the future? m.,Please remember:,.
