"Nothing!"
Li Yan sat down on the chair, "Annoying!"
"What else is worrying you? The work at the radio station is easy and comfortable, and you don't have to work in the fields. With me as your director, you should feel very comfortable. Look, your face has become much rounder."
"Just tell me I've gained weight and am round, and you despise me."
He didn't answer. What's the point? He never got it at all, so why would he dislike it?
"Why are you so bothered?"
"My eldest brother arranged a blind date for me."
"Oh, that's strange. Your elder brother doesn't even care about your sister. He even arranged a blind date for her. What a fool!"
"He's not out of his mind. He sold me out and married me off after receiving 200 yuan in betrothal gifts. A few days ago, the man came to the commune and asked me when we were getting married. I was confused, and only after asking did I understand what was going on. I ran to my eldest brother to question him, and he admitted it to my face. He even said insincerely that it was not easy to find a man who was willing to marry me, and that he had put in a lot of effort, so I should thank him. I was so angry.
Yesterday the man came to the commune again and forced me to get married or return the betrothal money. He made a scene for a long time before leaving.
"How come I don't know about this? You didn't even tell me?"
"It's not something glorious. You've always been lukewarm towards me. I... I'm afraid you'll think too much."
"Then return the 200 yuan betrothal gift to the man. No big deal!"
"Why?" she said unconvincedly. "My eldest brother took the money on his own initiative, but he wants me to bear the responsibility. He thinks I'm easy to bully, so I won't pay it back."
"Then this is a dead end. With your eldest brother being so stingy, you won't get a penny back from the money you put in. The man will come looking for you, and you'll be the one to get angry. Just think of it as a loss to avoid disaster. Don't forget, there's a big box of gold buried under your stove. Logically, your eldest brother and two eldest sisters should have a share."
Li Yan didn't say anything. At this time, Qin Ling ran in from outside.
"Sister Yan, the man from yesterday is here again. There are quite a few people here, beating drums and gongs. I heard them say they are here to pick you up and take you back to the church to get married."
"What?!" Li Yan was really angry.
"You son of a bitch, you really think I'm made of mud and easy to bully? What a ridiculous marriage!"
She rolled up her sleeves and showed some of her fierce temper as a widow. She wanted to go out.
"You take a rest!"
Zhong Yuemin walked around the desk and came in front of the woman.
"Don't go out, stay here, I'll take care of it."
"No, I can't stay here. You're the director of the commune. If this gets out of hand, it'll reflect badly on you. You can't resort to violence."
"You're overthinking it. Go ahead, just stand behind me and don't make a sound."
Li Yan nodded.
The three of them left the office and arrived at the gate of the commune compound. The doorman stopped them and said, "You know this group of people. You are here to see Xiao Li from the radio station. How can I let you in? There are a lot of people gathered here, all there to watch the fun."
"Director Zhong is here, Director Zhong is here..."
The crowd made way for Zhong Yuemin and the two women to go to the front. The other side had about 20 people, including a gong and drum team, and a donkey cart decorated in colorful colors. In front was a man, not very good-looking, with a big red silk flower on his chest. This should be the groom.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
The other party said:
"Are you the director of Hongqi Commune? We are from Niushan Brigade of Hongwei Commune. My name is Niulanshan. I came here today to marry Li Yan," he pointed at the person.
"She took a full two hundred yuan from me as a betrothal gift, but she's refusing to pay. I had no choice but to come to the commune myself."
