"Peek at me, huh?"

The last syllable was deliberately stretched out by him, with a rather sentimental tone to it.

"Where?"

Liu Shufang's face turned crimson. This man was too arrogant!

The breakfast was prepared by Ning Haitao. Liu Shufang waited until he had finished cooking before she walked out of the room with difficulty.

Zhang Sanhua had come over. Seeing how difficult it was for Liu Shufang to move, she immediately understood what was going on.

Ye Zichen's eyes flashed. The boulder that was pressing down on his heart had finally been moved away.

After dinner, Ning Haitao took his wife's hand and went back to the village with the presents. These three dynasties were very important in the countryside.

After they left, Zhang Sanhua let Haifang help her into the bridal chamber. When she saw the bloody mattress, a gratified smile appeared on her face.

She was worried that Liu Shufang was already together with Zhang Qiang. Her son had picked up a second-hand item and that would be too embarrassing.

Liu Shufang's family lived in a village in the front mountain. The two of them had to cross a mountain to return to their parents' home.

The mountain scenery was pleasant and the air was fresh. Wild flowers danced along the roadside and birds flew through the forest. The crickets seemed to be happy for the couple as they sang happily.

Liu Shufang's body had been broken just last night. It was hard for her to walk on a flat road, let alone cross mountains.

"I'll carry you."

The man's pleasant voice sounded. She was carried by Ning Haitao on his broad back. His big hands held her butt and put Liu Shufang's shy face on his back, not daring to look up.

Halfway there, they met Ning Hailan and Liu Jianshe who were also heading back to the door.

The couple seemed to be in love with each other, but they only had a basket of eggs in their hands. Looking at the number, there were only a dozen or so.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

Liu Shufang climbed down from the man's back in embarrassment and looked at her brother with a pained heart. He was still as she remembered him. He was limping and his face was sallow. His thin body looked like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

As a bridegroom, his elder brother didn't even have a new set of clothes on him? Her stepmother was mean. Her father had earned a hundred yuan in the coal mine, and she had it all in her hands.

Originally father said he would use this money to marry his big brother. The stepmother had the selfish desire to leave the money for her son, and someone else would exchange it for his own marriage in the mountains. He didn't spend a single cent for his big brother to marry his wife, so the money was left for his son to use.

This plan had been beaten so hard by her that her father just had to listen to her sleep style. He really wanted to listen to everything she said.

"Shufang." Liu Jianguo's bright eyes were filled with tears. He looked at his sister and shouted with a trembling voice.

Liu Jianguo had been living happily for the past three days. He was very satisfied with his wife, Hanlan. However, when he thought about his little sister, he felt guilty.

I obviously have someone I like. That Zhang Qiang is the only person in this village who is admitted to university, he will definitely become a successful student in the future.

For her sake, she was forced to leave Zhang Qiang and change her marriage to a place even poorer than her village.

On the day of his wedding, his sister was crying on the brick bed while he was being carried by a donkey. At that time, he wanted to go back on his word and would rather not marry his wife than have his sister suffer so much.

But the stepmother …

When he saw his new daughter-in-law Hanlan on their wedding night, he fell in love with her. Even though she was gentle and virtuous, he didn't seem to dislike her on his wedding night.

However, he didn't touch her that night. Even now, Hanlan was still a virgin, so he just wanted to ask her. If she really didn't like the marriage, then she would be annulled.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, I didn't expect to meet you here."

When Liu Shufang saw the tears in her brother's eyes, she no longer cared about the awkwardness and shouted.

Their relationship was a bit messy. According to Liu Shufang, Hanlan was supposed to be called sister-in-law, and Haitao was supposed to be called eldest brother.

However, according to what Haitao said, Liu Shufang should call Hanlan Second Sister and Haitao should call Liu Jianguo's brother-in-law.

Liu Shufang called him sister-in-law after a moment of hesitation. This was also a sign of respect towards her brother.

"That's right!" Little sister, come with me. "

Liu Jianguo held his sister's hand as they walked towards the woods. Before leaving, he looked at Hanlan longingly. Thinking of what he would say later, his heart ached.

"Brother, is there something you can't say here?"

Liu Shufang didn't understand why her brother was acting so secretively. Since he didn't want Haitao to misunderstand, he stood on the spot and didn't want to go over.

"Follow me, big brother."

Although Liu Jianguo was thin, his hand strength was not weak. He was the one who did the work at home, as well as going to the commune to earn points. He did not idle around for a day or two.

"I'll go over."

Liu Shufang knew her brother's stubborn temper. Even ten oxen wouldn't be able to stop her. She had no choice but to tell Ning Haitao and follow her brother into the forest.

"What is it? "So mysterious?"

Liu Shufang then asked, her brother was open and honest, she could not think of any secrets he could have that could not be listened to by others?

"Sister, big brother is going to break off the engagement this time. Let's not change the engagement. You and Zhang Qiang can leave now!" Elder brother has some money, take it with you and spend it on the road. "

Liu Jianguo took out five yuan from his wrinkled shirt. He had secretly saved this money from knitting baskets, so his stepmother didn't know about this money.

"Big brother."

Liu Shufang threw herself into her brother's embrace, hugging him tightly as tears filled his entire chest.

He was still as concerned about her as he was in his previous life. He remembered that when he had something good to eat, he would secretly give it to her.

Because they were registered to be married to Ning Haitao, after she and Zhang Qiang ran off together, she didn't dare to come back to Red Flag Village.

She had cancer, Zhang Qiang only told her what happened to her brother when he abandoned her, his stepmother forced him to go down to the coal mine, gas explosion, people disappeared, I don't know if he was alive or dead?

But she knew that her brother must have been buried in a coal mine, and the men had been too lazy to dig.

She must not let her big brother repeat the disaster of her past life, that mean stepmother …

Liu Shufang's gaze turned sharp. In her past life, she had been selfish and only cared for herself. In this life, she was going to protect her family and not let anyone bully him.

"Big Bro, I'm in love with Haitao now. There's no need to withdraw from this marriage, you and Sister-in-law should have a good life together."

Wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Liu Shufang looked at her brother with determination.

"Really?"

Liu Jianguo looked carefully at his sister's expression. As long as there was even the slightest bit of unwillingness, he would sacrifice himself to help her.

"Really, he was very kind to me, and we were very happy."

Speaking of Ding Haitao, two red clouds floated up on Liu Shufang's white face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and brushed the tender grass on the ground with her toes.

"That's good."

Liu Jianguo was relieved. He couldn't bear to part with that gentle woman, so he felt very happy with her.

"Let's go out! Sister-in-law and Haitao are still waiting! "

Liu Shufang pulled up her brother's big hand. He had even more calluses than Haitao. His palm was stiff and he felt a bit sad.

When Big Brother and Little Mother entered the house at the age of twelve, they were forced to do farm work.

When he went to the back of the mountain to chop firewood, he fell down the hillside. His leg was broken, and his stepmother was crippled for not getting money for him.

"Brother, I'll take care of you from now on."

Excited, she blurted out.

"Stupid sister."

Liu Jianguo smiled gently and caressed his sister's hair. She had really grown up and was no longer that willful little girl.

Ning Haitao asked about his sister's situation at the Liu Family. Hanlan's expression was a little dejected, but she didn't care about how Big Bro asked. She bit her lips and didn't say anything.

"Is his family nice to you?" Is brother-in-law nice to you? Tell me! "I'm so worried."
