A fast-paced transmigration story set in a historical fiction era: The fox spirit is enjoying happin
Chapter 99: 70 Sent-down Youths x Landlord's Orphan 16 (Bonus Chapter for Gifts)
The mother sat at home, forcing a smile as she dealt with these relatives.
"Miao Hong wouldn't do such a thing. They're getting ready to get married. Didn't she just invite you two a couple of days ago?"
She smiled and tried to smooth things over, but in her heart she was already cursing. Why did they always come to her for tea? Did they think it was free?
She'll get her revenge once Li Miaohong marries into the family.
Quan Lanxi was also in the hall, listening to her relatives' words, feeling a surge of unease.
Meng Donglai schemed against him, and Li Miaohong schemed against him too!
"Lanxi, when will your leg get better?"
"Huh? I..." Quan Lanxi looked at her mother, pleading for help.
"Axi's foot took quite... quite a long time to recover."
The mother smiled and said, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone."
"With one person missing from your family during this busy farming season, how will you manage?"
Yes, you need to get better soon.
"..." It wasn't until all the peanuts and melon seeds on the table were eaten that the relatives carried the firewood home.
"Mom, it's going to be Li Miaohong." Quan Lanxi's mind was filled with thoughts of her deception and betrayal.
The night he was drugged, he drank Meng Donglai's wine and passed out by the roadside. If Li Miaohong had come looking for him, none of this would have happened...
As planned, Meng Donglai was reported and sent to prison.
The next morning, Quan Mu summoned relatives and a matchmaker.
They randomly picked two large boxes, painted them red, and wrote the character for "happiness" on them.
They stuffed some quilts and such inside, and with a great commotion, delivered them to Li Miaohong's room at the educated youth settlement.
"What...what's going on?" Li Miao asked Quan's mother, who was following behind, her face pale.
The mother, beaming, said, "We've thought about the betrothal. You've finished your exams, so you can get married now. Give Axi and us an explanation."
The commotion was so loud that it attracted everyone in the village.
Several rows of people stood neatly outside the courtyard.
The people banging drums and gongs in the courtyard continued, and Li Jiaojiao and Zhao Shuqin both got up to see what was going on.
Wow, the whole family is that fast?
"Wow, that's really fast!"
The two exchanged a glance and gave each other a thumbs up in perfect unison.
Li Miaohong concealed her inner turmoil: "Aunt Quan, I..."
The mother reached out and stopped the gonging and drumming.
"You don't actually want to get married anymore, do you?"
"Uh...no, no," Li Miaohong saw the change in the expressions of the people around her and knew that now was not a good time to refuse.
Last year, they heard that a certain educated youth's wife from the next brigade or commune had been admitted to university and had run away from her husband and children.
There were also male educated youth who abandoned their wives and children, playing the role of a modern-day Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife and children).
If something like this happened in their village, wouldn't they be laughed at for years?
"Hey Li Zhiqing, if you pass the exam and then refuse to acknowledge your family's marriage, we're going to report you to the commune!"
The one who spoke was a relative of the whole family.
Li Miaohong quickly denied it: "I would never deny it. Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan have been kind to me."
We can't afford to have anything go wrong now; we have to hold on until we receive the acceptance letter.
"Everyone heard that, right? Next Friday is a lucky day, everyone come to my house for my wedding banquet!"
The mother smiled knowingly and directed the people beside her to continue banging the gong and drum.
Li Miaohong forced a smile, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. Wasn't she in such a hurry because she was afraid the girl would run away?
Li Jiaojiao hid behind and watched the excitement, and couldn't help but admire the mother's resourcefulness.
Only after most of the onlookers had left did Li Miaohong run back to her room and bury her head in her pillow.
Li Jiaojiao and Zhao Shuqin were secretly laughing in their room.
