Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

They chatted for a while, and then Shi Qingqian got up and prepared to go back.

Lin Jiahui pulled Shi Qingqian aside, handed her a key, and whispered, "No. 62, Baihua Lane. Under the water tank in the front yard is the dowry that your uncle and I prepared for you."

Shi Qingqian looked at Lin Jiahui in surprise. She held Lin Jiahui's hand tightly and said, "Aunt, you..."

Lin Jiahui patted her hand gently and said softly, "Qianqian, this is what we have prepared for you a long time ago. Although life is difficult now, we also want to give you some security. Please keep the key and wait for a chance to come and see it again in the future."

……

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window.

Shi Qingqian slowly opened her eyes, stretched, stood up, tidied herself up briefly, then opened the door and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Shi Qingqian saw her elder brother Xu Huaiguo walking back and forth in the yard, his face full of hesitation.

Shi Qingqian was puzzled and walked forward to ask, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

When Xu Huaiguo saw Shi Qingqian, he showed an embarrassment on his face and stammered, "Third sister-in-law, um... I want to borrow some money from you."

When his uncle asked his younger brother and sister-in-law to borrow money, Xu Huaiguo felt too embarrassed to face anyone.

"Borrow money?" Shi Qingqian was also a little surprised.

"Yes," Xu Huaiguo said quickly, "I...I will definitely return it to you in the future."

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Huaiguo's embarrassed look and felt a little reluctant.

She asked softly, "Brother, what happened? How much do you need to borrow?"

Xu Huaiguo rubbed his hands and said nervously, "Borrow 50 yuan. I need it urgently, but all the money in the family has been used by Li Guihua to support her parents."

Shi Qingqian frowned slightly. This Li Guihua was really annoying.

Her son and husband were both skin and bones, but she actually used all the money to support her parents' family.

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Huaiguo: "Brother, it is indeed inappropriate for sister-in-law to do this. What urgent matter do you need?"

"I...I..." Xu Huaiguo hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Shi Qingqian did not ask any more questions. After all, with his personality, he would not do anything bad.

"Brother, wait for me." Shi Qingqian went into the house and took out 50 yuan. She handed it to Xu Huaiguo and reminded him, "Brother, you also know the grudge between me and Li Guihua. This money must not be given to her, otherwise there will be no next time."

Xu Huaiguo immediately said, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I have other urgent needs for this money. It has nothing to do with Li Guihua and her family."

Shi Qingqian nodded slightly: "Brother, then you should go and take care of your urgent matter. I hope everything can be resolved smoothly."

Xu Huaiguo tightly grasped the fifty yuan, his eyes full of gratitude: "Third sister-in-law, I really don't know how to thank you. Wait... I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."

Shi Qingqian nodded.

……

During breakfast, Zhang Lanxiang asked Da Wa to wake up his father.

After a while, the eldest son came running in panic and said that his father was missing.

Zhang Lanxiang frowned and said, "Where could Huaiguo go so early in the morning? Without even telling me."

Xu Huaimin also echoed: "Yes, big brother, this is too worrying."

Shi Qingqian told her about Xu Huaiguo asking her to borrow money that morning: "Brother said he had an urgent need, maybe he was out on business."

"Business?" Zhang Lanxiang shook her head. "What urgent business could he have?"

She knew her son best. Xu Huaiguo usually worked in the fields or went back to sleep. There was no way he could have any urgent matters that required him to go out early in the morning.

Xu Huaimin said, "Mom, why don't we go to the village and ask if anyone has seen where Big Brother has gone?"

Zhang Lanxiang nodded: "That's the only way."

Shi Qingqian was also a little worried. She said, "I'll go too. More people means more strength."

So, the family began to ask around in the village about Xu Huaiguo's whereabouts.

After asking around, I finally got some information.

Xu Huaimin came back and said, "Mom and Dad, I heard from Er Gouzi that my eldest brother asked him about Li Yue yesterday."

"Li Yue? Which Li Yue?" Father Xu couldn't remember for a moment.

Zhang Lanxiang glared at him and said, "You don't care about your son's affairs at all. Who is Li Yue? Isn't she the girl he was engaged to?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember now," Father Xu suddenly realized, "This happened many years ago. The girl should have been married long ago. What is the boss going to do?"

Zhang Lanxiang frowned and said, "I know something about this."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Lanxiang, waiting for her to continue.

Zhang Lanxiang sighed slightly and said, "I heard that the girl was sold to the mountains by her father. The man treated her very badly. She had a miserable life. I think the old man probably still couldn't let go."

Xu Huaimin said, "Dad and Mom, this isn't good. My eldest brother hasn't divorced my eldest sister-in-law yet, and she has a family now. Should we bring him back?"

Father Xu frowned and said solemnly, "We have to find the eldest brother as soon as possible. We can't make a fuss about this. No matter what happened in the past, he has his own family now and can't do anything stupid."

"Forget it, let him be," Zhang Lanxiang said, "The boss is not stupid or without sense. It's better to let him suffer a little."

Xu Huaimin said anxiously, "Mom, how can this be possible? What if big brother does something really stupid?"

Zhang Lanxiang still insisted on her own idea: "You don't understand. With your eldest brother's temper, you have to let him hit the wall on his own. If he is found so easily, he might become confused again in the future."

There was no news about Xu Huaiguo for several days. Although Xu's father and mother pretended to be stubborn, they were very anxious in their hearts. They asked their relatives in the mountains to help them find out the news.

……

On the other side, the house was still under construction, and Shi Qingqian would ride her bicycle to the town to buy meat from time to time.

This time she happened to be moving the dowry given by her uncle and aunt into the space.

Shi Qingqian rode her bicycle to No. 62 Baihua Lane.

Most of the houses in this area have been abandoned. Looking at the open door of No. 62, Shi Qingqian's heart skipped a beat and she hurried into the house.

As soon as Shi Qingqian stepped into the house, she saw two beggar-like people, one tall and one short.

They were dressed in tattered clothes and had disheveled hair, but there was a malicious glint in their eyes. Their obscene gazes were fixed on the bicycle that Shi Qingqian was holding, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

"Young comrade, hand over your bicycle and all the money you have," the tall beggar spoke first, his voice hoarse and fierce.

Another short beggar echoed, "Yes, hand it over quickly, or I'll be rude to you."
