At that mont, she looked like a complete and utter madwoman, her pigtails in disarray, the clear marks of fingernails on her face, her clothes crumpled and wrinkled, her eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Wang Xing’er as if she wanted to devour her.
"Slap!" A crisp sound.
This was Father Xu slapping Xu Chunxia.
"Instead of enjoying good days, you just like to make trouble at ho for no reason. What are you really trying to do?" Father Xu’s face was stern as he coldly looked at Xu Chunxia, "You’ve hit your mother, you’ve hit your sister-in-law, are you also thinking about hitting your old man one day?"
Xu Chuni and Xu Chunxiang stood at the entrance of the main room, the two sisters felt that their father’s slap was not only on Xu Chunxia’s, their Third Sister’s face, but also on their own faces.
Their lips were tightly pursed, staring straight at Father Xu, their thoughts unknown.
Wang Xing’er stopped crying. She stood up and threw down the words, "If you don’t get Xu Chunxia married off soon, I will divorce Xu Chunlai!"
"Don’t worry, Xing’er, your aunt agreed to the marriage proposal. Go back tomorrow and give them an answer, see when the groom’s side will co to fetch the bride."
Five hundred yuan as a betrothal gift was not a small sum, not just in the countryside, but even in the city, and there was also the offer of a temporary job.
Looking back, if the marriage really went through, their family would suddenly have five hundred yuan. At the sa ti, their eldest wouldn’t need to go work in the fields anymore. In other words, he would be half-fed by the state.
If one day he turned into a regular worker, then their family would truly have soone fully supported by the state.
"I will not agree if it kills , whoever agrees can marry him!"
Xu Chunxia scread through her tears, and without waiting for Father Xu or Mrs. Xu to react, she turned and ran out of the main room.
"What exactly is going on?"
Father Xu asked Mrs. Xu.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu told Father Xu about the marriage proposal that Wang Xing’er had ntioned.
After a while, Father Xu spoke, "I agree. Let the eldest daughter-in-law ask about it tomorrow, see when they can settle the marriage... the sooner, the better, to avoid unforeseen complications."
Mrs. Xu, "Old Xu, are you worried that Chunxia, that wretched girl, will stir up so trouble?"
"Hmm."
Father Xu nodded.

Sounds of insects occasionally ca through the window. Kang Li glanced at the three sleeping children lined up and said to Luo Yanqing, "Let’s go to sleep, it’s getting late."
"Okay."
Luo Yanqing neatly folded the newspaper in his hand, leaned over to put it on the side table, and then, he pulled the lamp cord, and the light in the room instantly dimd.
"That man was your forr fiancé."
Lying beside Kang Li, Luo Yanqing suddenly spoke.
"..." Kang Li smiled, "You already knew, didn’t you? Are you jealous?"
"No." Luo Yanqing didn’t hesitate, "He’s not worthy of you."
Kang Li chuckled softly, "Then who is worthy of ?"
Luo Yanqing, "Isn’t he lying right next to you?"
"Oh... you an you?" Lying on her back, Kang Li now turned over and prodded Luo Yanqing’s arm on her side, "Turn around."
As they lay face to face, Luo Yanqing pinched Kang Li’s cute nose and said with a deeply affectionate and magnetic voice, "Asking when you already know the answer."
"Yes, yes, I’m asking when I already know." Kang Li said with a laugh, holding onto his long, jade-like hand, "Rest assured, I don’t have the slightest feeling for Comrade Zhou now, to be precise, I’ve had nothing to do with him since our families called off the engagent."
"I’m not worried."
Luo Yanqing looked affectionately into her eyes and said:
