Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chen Junyan turned to ask Qiao Manman for her opinion, and only put away the confession after seeing her nod.

"There's still money!"

Big Tiger's mother said with a forced smile, "I'll go get it right away, I'll go get it right away!"

He took off running and reappeared by the lake in less than half an hour: "Chen Zhiqing, count them, fifty yuan, not a penny less!"

Chen Junyan counted the money to make sure it was all there, then handed it to Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman refused: "Comrade educated youth, although I don't know what the marriage agreement is all about, it's a fact that you saved my life."

Consider this money my way of thanking you for saving my life!

Knowing about the discord within the Qiao family, Chen Junyan nodded, "I'll keep it for now, and give it to you as your dowry when we get married!"

Qiao Manman had no objection; even if Chen Junyan embezzled and didn't return the money, she felt it was justified.

After all, she's as beautiful as a flower, and even if her life is terrible, she's still worth a few dozen yuan.

Rather than letting those bastards from the Qiao family take it away, it's better to leave it for our benefactor to improve his life.

Chen Junyan didn't stand on ceremony, and Old Lady Qiao broke down.

He rushed out of the crowd and lunged at the stack of money.

Chen Junyan clearly noticed, but still slowly stuffed the money into his pocket.

Just a second before Old Lady Qiao touched him, he sidestepped to the side, dodging her attack, and slowly stuffed the money into his inner pocket.

Their carefree and self-satisfied demeanor makes one grit their teeth in hatred.

Grandma Qiao collapsed to the ground with a thud and didn't get up for a long time.

Qiao Lao Er rushed out from the crowd, his face full of concern: "Mother, Mother, are you alright?"

"Ouch! I almost fell and killed myself! You have to pay me back, you absolutely have to pay me back!"

With the help of Qiao Lao Er, Old Lady Qiao turned over, raised her hand to touch her nose, and found that it was bleeding.

"The educated youth beat someone up! Is there no justice in this world? Brigade leader, you have to stand up for me! Fifty yuan, not a penny less!"

"Captain, someone's robbing us! I need to hand this old lady over to the police!"

"No, no, no, Comrade Chen, let's talk this out!"

Wang Defa grabbed Chen Junyan and scolded Old Lady Qiao with a dark face: "What are you making a fuss about? So many people are watching. Do you think you can turn black into white just by saying a few crooked words?"

Be careful, those educated youth comrades might take you seriously and send you to the Northwest to plant trees!

Grandma Qiao stopped crying. Seeing Wang Defa's serious expression, she rolled her eyes and said, "He touched my granddaughter, so he should at least give me a bride price!"

"this......

It depends on whether the educated youth are willing or not!

Wang Defa asked Chen Junyan for his opinion, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "No, unless you sever ties with Qiao Laosan's family!"

"What?"

Before Old Mrs. Qiao could even make a fuss, the people around her were in an uproar.

"Young man, that's not fair. How could you force someone to break off a marriage?"

Who does he think he is? Why should Qiao Laosan listen to you?

Qiao Runming's fingernails dug into his palm, and his heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, Old Mrs. Qiao jumped up and down: "What kind of scoundrel dares to sow discord between my daughter and me? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call the militia to make trouble for you!"

Chen Junyan ignored her and strode up to Qiao Runming: "Uncle, do you want to sever ties with him?"

"I'll help you if you want to. But if you still want to associate with Old Qiao's family, then pretend I said nothing."

"me......"

Qiao Runming had been oppressed for many years and had long lost his own opinions.

He wanted to sever ties with the Qiao family, but he was also worried that his family would be separated and unable to make a living.

"Don't be afraid, with me here, you and your aunt will definitely be able to live a good life."

Qiao Runming glanced at the slender He Nian, then at his daughter who was full of expectation, and asked, "Young man, are you really my girl's fiancé?"

Chen Junyan paused for two seconds: "If you admit it, then I am!"
