Translated by Serena Love

There was a spark bursting in He Songbai's heart, and his eyes became fierce and wild.

However, seeing the woman's earnest and clear eyes, there was no hint of humor in her eyes, and it was only full of distress.

The girl sighed, and her head fell on the pillow, staring at him.

"I heard Tiezhu say you took a lot of work."

He Songbai's rippling and restless thoughts went heavy after looking at her wet eyes, and it quieted down.

It took him a long time to mumble and say, "Brother-in-law's treatment will cost a lot of money."

"Grandma's old friend worked as a doctor in the provincial hospital, and the doctor said that his body should be raised with ginseng."

"The money is all spent, there is no other way."

Zhao Lanxiang said, "The poor also have the poor ways, isn't there a cheaper way?"

He Songbai nodded and said: "I didn't give him ginseng, he will drink some American ginseng to replenish his body now. It is much cheaper..."

[T/N: it's a different plant from normal ginseng. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_ginseng]

"The medicine is more expensive, let him maintain his body. The doctor said it is best to stay in the hospital for one or two months for observation, but we have no money, so my brother-in-law will be back soon."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help holding the man's rough palm, which was hard and warm.

"Is he better now?"

He Songbai said, "The face is a little more rosy, the American ginseng is not eaten in vain."

"When is the wedding?"

He Songbai said, "My sister's mother-in-law said that when he can stand up, we will put up the wedding wine. Rest assured."

Zhao Lanxiang is also relieved. The captain is able to pick up this life, this time it's really because Grandma Li's blessing, and his mother who dare to gamble.

Li Dali stayed in the hospital for a month and went home just over a week after the operation. On the day he returned home, his two younger brothers took him back personally, and they were careful not to bump his wounds.

After Li Dali returned to the village, the villagers couldn't help but surprised.

The captain came back to life!

At this time, it has been more than a month since the Niujiao Mountain's landslide. The captain with such a serious injury can survive for so long. Anyway, it can be regarded as a trip from the ghost gate and back! The funeral in the Hexi village went on for a month. Several seriously injured members were not survived. God blessed the captain to get his life back.

Li Dali's mother, Li Cuihua, cried poorly when she met everyone, "Where is the miracle?"

"Dali's six hundred yuans were all used up. There was no other way, so he is discharged from the hospital."

Everyone took a breath. 600 yuan... It turned out that so much money was spent on treatment, so it's no wonder that they could snatch someone back from the Lord Yama.

Several members of the village who were seriously injured but died were poor at home and were sent home after a few days in the hospital.

Li Cuihua also said, "It's also because the new wife is water, which can suppress his calamity. I expected the wife to enter the house and be happy!"

Everyone's attention shifted to the marriage. They both envied their family for getting their daughter-in-law without spending a penny, and regretted that it was not so glorious to be recruited as a husband like Dali. But having said that, the family didn't dislike Li Dali's short-lived life and don't even want a bridal gift, it's okay to ask for this condition.

That day, the captain's blood shed all over the ground, his hands and feet were crushed purple by the stones, and the girl might have to serve him for a lifetime if he picked his life back. It's already a pie from the sky to be able to ask for a wife.

They asked when the wedding wine will be held.

Li Cuihua said, "Wait until my son can stand up."

Li Cuihua comfortably accepted the congratulations from the villagers. She said everywhere that Li family spent 600 yuan to cure her son just like Grandma Li said, and she went back home dryly.

Li Cuihua had no choice but to send Dali to the He family. She gave birth to many children, including four sons. Dali is the hardest and most sensible. If the He family could do their best to save Dali's life, let him go to their house to be the son-in-law.

Li Cuihua entered the room and help her son to pee.

Li Dali's dark face showed a trace of uneasiness. He coughed and said, "Don't worry."

Li Cuihua didn't believe it, fearing that he would hold back.

Li Dali blushed and said, "Songye has taken care of it."

Li Cuihua gave him a mouthful, and asked shamelessly, "Have you got a wife yet?"

Li Dali's black face suddenly panicked, and a rush of heat rose from his entire body.

He said, "What the hell..."

Li Dali is twenty-four this year. The young man in the village will be asking for a wife around seventeen or eighteen. Men of the same age can have children that can go to school, and he doesn't even have a shadow of a wife. This time he was hospitalized, and was served by He Songye for a month. He has a taste of the soft and heartwarming feeling from a woman.

Li Cuihua said, "Songye is a serious person. Knowing that you weren't good enough before, I didn't want to bother you."

"I'm trying to find a lucky day for you, and make a wedding for you two, otherwise it won't work."

Li Dali's voice is as small as the sound of mosquito.

Li Cuihua also said, "Mother agreed for you to be their son-in-law, don't feel resentful in your heart. The family has already emptied their money for your medical treatment."

"This time the He family emptied their house for you, which is a hundred times better than Li'Er. She is a little deaf and can't speak, but for this life-saving grace, you can endure."

Li Cuihua continued to chatter.

Li Dali interrupted her in a timely manner, "Mother, you made a mistake."

He sighed faintly and slapped his foot. "Now I'm the burden."

"She is someone who didn't dislike my short-lived life, and is willing to serve me."

Li Cuihua's cheery face is defeated.

She couldn't stop sighing from the bottom of her heart, but she never showed disappointment in front of her son.

She gave him a sip, "Don't think about such a frustrating thing, it will be all right soon! After having a wine with your wife, I hope you will get a fat kid next year."

He Songye is water, and Li Cuihua believes that she can continue her son's life. What is the saying?

Gold male and water female, the couple have high ambitions, and the husband and wife will have a long life, and they have a wealth of money and food in their hands. She didn't care if they live extravagantly, as long as he would live a longer vigorous life.

"I'll go to talk with Grandma Li about your dates."

After Li Cuihua finished speaking, she went out of the house and went looking for Grandma Li.

Sister He has finished pouring out the chamber pot and returned to the room to wipe his face.

Li Dali's face is still panicked from the "funny words" of his mother.

Sister He didn't quite understand why the man stared at her. She gestured and asked, "Want to pee?"

As she spoke, she untied Li Dali's trouser pockets. The woman put her callous fingers across his skin. Li Dali gasped and said, "No."

He reacted embarrassedly and quickly covered his body with a quilt, "I want to sleep!"

Sister He just fed him some milk and helped him to sleep.

...

When Li Cuihua and Grandma Li discussed the lucky day, Zhao Lanxiang's sewing machine has already arrived.

Grandma Li still has He Songye's mother wedding gown from back then. The red satin embroidered gold is very festive and the texture is good. It is an object that carries the fond memories of her son and daughter-in-law, and Grandma Li is reluctant to throw it away, nor is she reluctant to leave it behind to be ruined, so it was hidden in the ground early.

But in this era, Granny Li didn't dare to take it out for her granddaughter. However, she had never expected her granddaughter to be able to marry so soon. Later, He Songye was busy waiting for Li Dali in the hospital, and she didn't have time to sew her wedding clothes.

In the end, Zhao Lanxiang smiled and took out a big red shirt and gown. The round neck and dish design was very ordinary and not outstanding. It looked similar to what other girls wore when they are married, but the material is breathable and comfortable, and the texture is good to the touch.

Puretl. com - - Do not repost or steal.

This wedding dress is just right for Sister He to wear. These days, when marrying a girl in the countryside, it is very suitable for the woman's family to get a piece of red material for the wedding dress. Or on the day of the wedding, borrow someone else's red clothes to wear.

This made Grandma overjoyed, and her turbid eyes flashed rarely.

She said to Zhao Lanxiang, "Fortunately, we have you."

Zhao Lanxiang asked Sister He to try it on. If the size was wrong, she would change it. Sister He shyly took her clothes and went to the room to change.

Li Dali is lying on the bed and resting, he heard the sound of people taking off their clothes from the corner, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

In the bright sunshine, the yellowed wall faintly casts a gentle shadow of a woman, and the rounded arc falls on the junction of the table and the wall, so that people's brains have an infinite space for imagination.

Li Dali hadn't has such an unreasonable thing before, but this woman is his wife to be, and he can think openly and fill his mind with wasteful imagination.

He asked dumbly, "What's wrong?"

Sister He did not say a word, nor can she say a word.

After changing her clothes, she stood in front of Li Dali. "Appropriate, inappropriate?"

Li Dali was dazzled by the big red dress. He stared at the girl stunnedly. He Songye, who changed her clothes, revealed the beauty and softness of a woman, sweeping away the dark gray and dark blue sackcloth of the past. Even the skin looks whitened by the scarlet clothes.

How would he, an old man, know that this is because Sister He has been in the hospital for a month, and her skin faded back to white.

"Appropriate, beautiful." Li Dali said.

Sister He went out and let Grandma and Lanxiang see. Grandma's eyes are hot and she couldn't help but choked a little.

She lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Zhao Lanxiang said, "My craftsmanship is still pretty good. The clothes are not too big or too small. I don't even need to change it."

She looked at Sister He's chest, unfortunately she couldn't make clothes that showed her figure during this time, otherwise she would surely make a wedding dress that would make Sister He more beautiful. The red dress is loose and the chest collapses.

However, this "failure" design also made her chest looked a little bigger. It seems that Zhao Lanxiang's delicious food have fattened her over the past six months.

"Eldest sister is so beautiful."

Sister He gestured, "You, look best."

Zhao Lanxiang was so exasperated by her sincere praise that she wanted to kiss her.

Sister He hugged her and made a vague voice in her mouth.

She thought that only she could understand it, and she tried hard to recall the mouth shape and sound of the word.

"Thank you."

Zhao Lanxiang was embraced by her and said happily, "Fortunately, you won't get married too far away, and I can see you every day in the future."

"Otherwise I will be reluctant."

She touched Sister He's face, her delicate and deep eyebrows, there is a kind of clear beauty, which is not amazing, but it is beautiful and comfortable.

The oldest sister who had never married in her previous life will be married in this life.

Isn't this a bit of positive effect from her coming here?
