Reborn 1980 Married to the toughest guy in the army

In a small village in Gansu Province.

Qiao Liancheng's mother, Li Hongmei, is sifting millet in her yard.

The scorching sun shone brightly on her face, making her skin red and black.

The big eyes that looked exactly like Qiao Liancheng were dim and cloudy.

The corners of his eyes were filled with deep wrinkles.

Suddenly, the door to the courtyard outside banged open, and the second son Qiao Lianye swayed in wearing a patched gray coat. He squatted in front of his mother and spoke angrily:

"Mom, when will the boss come back? I heard that the army provides family leave. He hasn't come back in several years!"

Li Hongmei sniffed and put down the bamboo basket in her hand.

"Why are you asking him? What if he comes back? He doesn't send us living expenses on a monthly basis!"

Qiao Lianye frowned: "That's true!"

"But if he doesn't come back, what will happen to the marriage?"

Li Hongmei was slightly stunned and looked at her second son with her yellow eyes:

"What do you mean? Whether he comes back or not has anything to do with your marriage!"

Qiao Lianye coughed up phlegm and wiped his nose with his sleeve:

"I have made an agreement with the Bai family. As long as Yuxiu can marry my brother, Yulan will marry me."

"What's more, not only are there no betrothal gifts, but their family also gives 50 yuan as a dowry, 50 yuan for a girl!"

Li Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What the hell, a girl is fifty?"

"Yuxiu will marry your brother, and Yulan will marry you. Two dowries, that's 100 yuan!"

At this point, Li Hongmei's face became brighter, completely different from the gray face before.

Qiao Lianye chuckled: "No, now I'm just waiting for my brother to come back!"

Li Hongmei's face fell again: "But, can Yuxiu agree?"

Qiao Lianye smiled proudly: "How could she not agree? She wouldn't be happy!"

"Mom, Yuxiu has been jealous of my brother since she was a child. When my brother was in school, there was nothing to eat at home, so Yuxiu brought pancakes to my brother every day!"

"Moreover, this method of marriage exchange was also thought up by Yuxiu."

"Mom, you don't even know that Yuxiu has been telling everyone she meets Qiao Liancheng in the past two days that she is going to marry Qiao Liancheng and join the army as a military wife!"

Li Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and sighed softly:

"The same goes for your brother. When I came back three years ago, I mentioned to him that I wanted to find him a wife, but he refused me directly and ran away the next day like a dog chasing its ass."

"In the past three years, he hasn't called back a single call, and he hasn't even sent a message home."

"If the money hadn't been paid back on a monthly basis, I would have thought he had disappeared!"

While she was scolding, she kept padding the bamboo basket.

Qiao Lianye sat down next to him and giggled: "Mom, you don't care about that. He just needs to send the money on time!"

"However, in the past few days, I went to the city to send him a telegram, saying that you were sick and asked him to come back."

"As soon as he comes back, you can take him to worship!"

Li Hongmei was about to say something when suddenly someone outside the door shouted:

"Li Hongmei, your son has sent a telegram. It's urgent!"

Li Hongmei was stunned, Qiao Lianye hurriedly stood up and walked out:

"I guess he's coming back. He's just getting married and doing some business. Mom, I'll go to the village department to get the telegram!"

Gansu Province is very poor. At this time, many remote rural areas have no electricity at all. They rely on walking for transportation and shouting for communication!

It was not long before Qiao Lianye trotted back: "Mom, something happened. My brother is in the hospital and is dying!"

Li Hongmei was stunned, and the bamboo basket in her hand suddenly fell to the ground:

"Ah, what's going on?"

Qiao Lianye shook his head and muttered: "I don't know, the telegram said that my brother was injured and hospitalized, and asked us to go to the hospital quickly!"

"Isn't it free to go to the hospital? The traveling expenses are quite high, why don't you ask me to send you some money?"

Li Hongmei's eyes were filled with confusion, and her body was trembling as she walked into the house.

Time was running out and he walked out with his body trembling.

"Mom, what are you doing!" Qiao Lianye asked in surprise.

Li Hongmei trembled and said, "Your brother is going to die!"

Qiao Lianye sneered unhappily: "Just die. If he dies, I won't be around anymore. It's good if he dies. No one will compete with our brothers for land."

"I heard that it's our turn to divide the land. According to my family's conditions, one person can get eight acres of land. If he dies, we can get four more acres!"

"Come on, Mom, let's not go to the hospital. Let the army handle it directly when the time comes, otherwise we have to pay for the trip ourselves!"

Li Hongmei stared at this:

"What are you talking about!"

"If your brother dies, who will give our family monthly money in the future?"

"It's five yuan a month. This is our family's only income!"

"If he doesn't give you any money, you and the third child are like this. If you can't handle the land well, where can you get the money?"

Qiao Lianye slapped his forehead when he heard this: "Yes, if he dies, Yuxiu will not be able to marry, and then my wife will be ruined."

"Ah, my wife!"

Qiao Lianye yelled, flopped down on the ground and started wailing.

Li Hongmei also looked sad when she heard this. She sat on the ground, patted her thighs and cried:

"Oh, why is my life so miserable? I entered the Qiao family when I was 12 years old. I was so angry with my mother-in-law that I finally survived until the old immortal died."

"I tried my best to give birth to four of you cubs again!"

Qiao Lianye on the side heard this and asked curiously: "Hey, Mom, didn't you say that you could save trouble when you gave birth to us? Just go to work in the fields and fart, and my eldest brother will come out!"

Li Hongmei: "Get out!"

Qiao Lianye stuck out his tongue and hurriedly lowered his head without saying anything.

Li Hongmei continued to cry and howl: "I raised you all by shit and pee. Is it easy for me?"

"Your eldest brother was quite promising and went out to serve as a soldier, but he only lasted a few years and then died!"

"Your eldest brother is such a short-lived ghost who can kill a thousand swords. Why did he have to be born into our home if he is short-lived?"

"Oh my God, I have raised him for nothing for so many years!"

There was crying here, the door of the room opened, and a pretty woman in a floral skirt came out.

This girl is quite good-looking, with skin like snow and delicate features, especially the Xiaojiabiyu temperament that has the charm of a classical beauty.

The little girl stood at the door and leaned against the door frame and hummed softly:

"Why are you crying and howling so early in the morning? This is not a dream come true!"

Li Hongmei stopped crying when she heard this, sniffed and said, "Fangfang, your eldest brother..."

Qiao Fangfang sneered: "I heard it all, so I said you are stupid. What's the use of crying? Even if you cry your whole life here, my brother won't survive!"

"Besides, the telegram didn't say that my brother was injured, but he's not dead yet!"

Li Hongmei was slightly stunned when she heard this, and suddenly stopped crying, but she stopped a little too hard, and couldn't help but start hiccupping!

"Hey, you, what did you say!"

"Gee, what do you mean? Tell me clearly!"

Qiao Fangfang hummed: "Second brother, you don't want a wife. My eldest brother is not dead yet. As long as my mother goes to find her, she will say that my eldest brother is seriously injured and needs a wife to celebrate the wedding. Our family is willing to give ten yuan as a gift."

Li Hongmei was slightly stunned. When she heard that she was given a gift of ten yuan, she twitched her lips in pain.

Qiao Fangfang continued: "Bai Yuxiu has been jealous of my brother since she was a child. She will definitely not refuse. Let alone ten yuan, even if she doesn't give him a penny, she will marry him with a package."

"When the time comes, let's just set up two tables at home and notify the whole village."
