Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 25 I Have Money
I hastily pushed the clothes to her: "How can this be done, the clothes are so expensive, I can't have them!"

But Lin Cailian forced it to me: "My age is not suitable for wearing such clothes. You can buy them for me when you have money. I want that kind of temperament. Okay?"

I had no choice but to nod, grateful to her in my heart.She is such a caring woman.

"Go and eat?"

I smiled and said, "I ate it."

She took my hand and walked in: "How can you have time to eat when you are a bridesmaid? You don't have to be polite to me."

I went with her to the kitchen and watched her lift the lid from the stove, where a large bowl of noodles was heating up, with a poached egg on top.

I was taken aback: "No, Sister Cailian, your family only has such a small amount of fine grains, and eggs are so expensive, what if I eat them all?"

Lin Cailian pressed my shoulder and sat down with a smile, "I'll make it around the time you come back, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot! Your brother and I ate it too."

"Anything good?" I asked curiously.

The eldest brother walked in at this time and handed me ten yuan: "This is for you, let's go buy some nice clothes? I'm rich now."

I hurriedly asked what was wrong, and the elder brother just laughed.Lin Cailian told me that the other party trusted him because he often used the eldest brother to dig wells, so this time he was asked to be a temporary captain, and he was given 20 yuan first, and then the agreed 50 yuan was paid after the job was finished.

I hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother, you posted it!"

The eldest brother smiled and said, "I gave Mom five yuan for the money, and I will buy Cailian some food for the five yuan, and I will give you the remaining ten yuan."

"No need, brother! Save this money and spend it when you start a small family. I have money."

Lin Cailian shyly pinched me: "You are talking nonsense here."

"How much money do you have, don't refuse, just take it if I give it to you!" The eldest brother smiled and forced me to hold it.

I waved my hand and refused: "That's a lot!" In order to reassure him, I took out all the money in my clothes. The money from the two vegetable sales together was almost seven yuan. In addition, Liu Cui's mother just gave it to him. I have a red envelope, and there are five yuan in it, and there are more than ten yuan in total.

"So don't worry, I'm not short of money."

Lin Cailian smiled and pushed her eldest brother: "Look at your sister, can you be compared?"

The eldest brother smiled shyly: "That's a good thing. Qiaoer, hurry up and eat, you'll be bored after a while."

I ate the noodles with a big mouthful.The poached eggs have not been eaten for at least five years, and the eggs at home are all for the second brother, and it is really sweet to eat now.

When I was working on a construction site in my previous life, I wished I could eat such a bowl of hot noodles, but that was all a luxury.Now I can finally feel the warmth I've been longing for.

"Qiaoer, why are you crying?" The eldest brother looked at me curiously.

I wiped my eyes in a hurry: "Who is crying? Eyelashes fell into the eyes." I remembered that Sun Hong stuffed me with a lot of wedding candies, so I quickly took them out for them to eat.

Those are the most fashionable fruit candies wrapped in cellophane, and the colors are very fresh.

Both Lin Cailian and her elder brother liked it very much, and everyone ate several pieces.

My eldest brother asked me if there was anything fun at the wedding, and I panicked, and told all about Du Cheng and Song Dong fighting for me, and my mother and Duan Qiuyue fighting.

Lin Cailian frowned and said nothing, the eldest brother said: "Mom has always been like that, Qiaoer, I don't blame you for this matter, Song Dong is not from our village, don't worry about his mother, if Du Cheng dares to cause trouble, I won't let him go passed him."

I said, "It's nothing. Anyway, Du Chengjie went to work in the city after he got married. It's impossible to get involved."

Lin Cailian looked sad at this time: "This matter is not so simple. For women in our village, reputation is the most important thing. If you are not married, two men will fight for you. It will be very difficult to find a husband's family in the future." It's hard, being a woman is really hard."

She is a young widow, and she has experienced many people's discussions. It is conceivable that she must have a lot of emotion.The elder brother looked at Lin Cailian with pity in his eyes.

I smiled and said, "Sister Cailian, don't worry about me. Getting married is not the most important thing for me. I've already thought about it. If it doesn't suit me, I'd rather not get married for the rest of my life."

Lin Cailian looked at me in surprise: "How can you say that? For us women, a man is complete. If you don't get married, you will be discussed to death."

I smiled and said, "So what, it won't delay my eating and drinking, as long as I live calmly, no one else will care about me."

Lin Cailian looked at me suspiciously, she really couldn't understand my thoughts.

The eldest brother is very open-minded: "If you don't get married, you don't get married! The big deal is that brother will support you for the rest of your life. There is only one thing, don't wrong yourself."

I smiled and said, "Brother, I have hands and feet, and I'm not the second brother, so I don't expect you to support me!" After saying this, the three of us laughed together.

Lin Cailian lowered her head and sorted out the glass candy wrappers: "That being said, what do you want in your heart? Your brother and I can help you find it. If you can't find it, let it go, but you can't just wait here .”

Hearing her words, a shadow of a person suddenly appeared in my mind.A white coat, black trousers and leather shoes, a handsome appearance, and a kind and bright smile.

I felt sore, that was someone I would never get, and he had a girlfriend.

"Why, looking at you like this, could it be that you have someone you like?" Cailian asked hastily.

"How can there be! At this stage, I just want to save money to go to agricultural school, and I don't want to do anything else."

The elder brother smiled and said, "Okay, we must come out of our family with an educated person."

Lin Cailian also nodded: "Yes, I know a lot of people when I go to the agricultural school, maybe I can find a suitable partner." In the final analysis, she still thinks that getting married is the most important thing.

Although I kept refusing, my eldest brother still gave me the money. He said that the agricultural school will start in March next year, and the living expenses for one semester will be at least 100 yuan, which is not enough in my hand.

I just accepted it, and said in my heart, I will definitely return the money to them as soon as I have it.

The eldest brother stayed for a while, finished the work here, and then reluctantly went back.

Lin Cailian and I sent him to the gate together, and he smiled at us, "I'm leaving at two o'clock tomorrow morning, so I just came to see you, you have to stay at home and wait for me to come back."

I was taken aback for a moment: "Miss Cailian isn't going with you?"

"I heard that it's too hard over there, Cailian should stay at home." The eldest brother laughed.

Was it because I was worried that she would follow and I would have nowhere to go, so I stayed?I immediately felt guilty.

Lin Cailian has been reluctant to look at my elder brother. I knew that the two of us had something to say, so I left with the excuse of going to the toilet.

After a while, Lin Cailian came back to look for me. Her eyes were red and her expression was a little sad.

I took her hand: "Don't worry, my brother will be back in a few days."

"Well, I know...you see what's wrong with me." Lin Cailian wiped her tears and smiled.

I comforted her for a while before she regained her composure.

It was night, and Lin Cailian and I had a conversation while lying on the kang, and then went straight to sleep.

I was sound asleep when I suddenly heard two big dogs barking in the yard. Lin Cailian and I were startled and sat up from the kang together.

"This dog is not quiet, someone is here!" Lin Cailian put on her clothes neatly, took out a dagger from under the pillow, jumped off the kang, put on her shoes and walked quickly outside.

I was taken aback, her movements are so proficient, has she ever suffered a big loss?She has been a widow for several years, and she sleeps alone every night. Someone must have come to hurt her, so she is always ready.

"Qiao'er, don't come out here, I'll go and see by myself." After she finished speaking, she opened the door and went out, shouting sharply, "Who is it!"

Someone at the gate said timidly: "I...I am Sun Hong, Sister Cailian. Can you open the door?"

Both Lin Cailian and I were taken aback and walked out quickly.

"It's so late, what is Sun Hong doing here?"

Lin Cailian hurriedly grabbed the dog, and I walked over and opened the door.

She was still wearing the clothes she had attended the wedding banquet before, standing there crying, her hair was messed up, her eyes were swollen, and there was a lot of dust on her crumpled clothes, she looked very pitiful.

I hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you, did someone bully you?"

When Sun Hong saw me, she immediately hugged me and burst into tears: "You're here too, Qiaozhen? Please help me!"

Lin Cailian hurriedly pulled her into the house: "Don't disturb the neighbors at night, come in with me quickly."

Because Sun Hong was a rare visitor, Lin Cailian took her into the house and pulled the cord to turn on the light.

Sun Hong sat on the edge of the kang sobbing and said, "I have nowhere to go, so I can only come here, please help me!"

Lin Cailian wiped her face with a towel: "Don't cry, what's wrong? I will help if I can."

Sun Hong bit her lip and said, "I... I was beaten by Gao Hu." She glanced at me as she spoke, with a shameful expression on her face.

Lin Cailian didn't know the relationship between the two of them at all, and said in surprise: "Why did he hit you!"

"He is a big bastard, I hate him!" Sun Hong covered her face and cried again.Then after a long time, she continued: "We haven't seen each other for the past few days. I wanted to talk to him, but I never saw him. He didn't even come to the wedding banquet. Gao Hu was found at home."

I thought to myself, Er Shuanzi is a famous gambler, and a bunch of bastards got together.

Sun Hong choked up and said, "Sure enough, Gao Hu was gambling there. I asked him to come out and talk to me, but he kept ignoring me. He hit me when I said something urgently, saying that I affected his luck." , and caused him to lose money!" She burst into tears.
