In the lively streets of the county town, pedestrians came and went like crucian carp. The kapok flowers in front of the door had fallen out and new leaves had grown. Several children were walking around in the alleys, chattering and making noise.

Completely different from the bustle outside, the house was completely silent.

Li Changsheng put out the cigarette in his hand, dusted the ash from his body, stared at the red introduction sheet given by the matchmaker with dark eyes, took out the key and unlocked the rusty lock.

Li Yu, who was inside, heard the movement outside, immediately got up from the bed and ran to the door.

As soon as Li Changsheng opened the door, he saw Li Yu with disheveled hair and a distracted look. He was standing in front of him with bare feet, his eyes full of resentment and pleading.

Li Yu picked up the things and tried to escape, but was grabbed by Li Changsheng.

"How long do you want to lock me up?"

For half a month, Li Yu wanted to escape from this door day and night, escape from these four pale walls, escape from the empty room, escape from the fear of death in silence, and escape from the inner pain that is being eroded bit by bit.

Self-esteem and hope.

Li Changsheng remained silent and just pressed her on the table. Just as Li Yu was about to speak, a group of people came outside the door.

Li Changsheng's wife stood by the sink washing vegetables, watching a group of people coming in and out carrying boxes of things that seemed like gifts and gifts. She wiped her hands on her apron and hurried into the house.

Li Changsheng also felt strange. Just as he was about to walk out the door, he saw the man carrying the stretcher put down his things, and then a group of men in suits and ties came in behind him, followed by the matchmaker who came to introduce Shan Guo to him yesterday.

"Oh, Secretary Li, it's a happy event today. Luo Sheng is very sincere and can't stop him. He just came to give me a big gift."

The matchmaker is shaking her bamboo sunflower fan, and the big black mole on the corner of her mouth is completely based on the dress of matchmakers in the past. It does not have the exaggerated red clothes, rose-red linen clothes and black cloth shoes in the past. She is also holding a hand.

A bronze pipe.

He showed a flattering smile towards the serious Li Changsheng, turned around and pulled the male protagonist in a black Tang suit forward.

When Li Yu saw the person coming, he was so shocked that he retreated to the door. His whole face turned pale and frightened, his whole body was shaking, and he tried to reach out and grab the items that could be grabbed around him.

Li Changsheng glanced at the man, and suddenly saw his daughter behaving like this, and doubts and worries filled his heart.

Li Yu didn't dare to look directly at him. The person in front of him was Luo Changping, who came to propose marriage with a matchmaker! His eyes flashed across the scar on his face that was deliberately whitewashed and made much lighter, and he remembered the scene on the vegetable field.

The fat, disgusting and wretched look on her body lingered.

Luo Changping couldn't hear the matchmaker's words at all, and stared straight at Li Yu. Although her hair was disheveled, her face was elegant and light, her bare feet were white, and her collarbone was slightly exposed on her neck.

Her delicate and charming appearance really makes people salivate.

Li Changsheng took in the look of the man in front of him. Although he had been looking for a partner for his daughter recently, he had never thought of marrying his daughter to a stranger who did not know the details. After reading the matchmaker's introduction last night, the conditions were very good.

, it’s just that the real person’s expression makes people feel an indescribable disgust.

Although he was dressed in formal attire, he was always arrogant, disrespectful and extremely impolite.

Putting away his discomfort, he motioned with his eyes to his wife to take Li Yu into the house. No matter who looked at Li Yu's slovenly appearance, it was inappropriate. After all, he was the village party secretary, and he was well-known in the county. His daughter's behavior had already impressed him.

Lose face and never become the laughing stock of others again.

As soon as Li Yu's mother met Li Yu, she immediately trembled. Her mother, who didn't know what was going on, took her into the house and locked the door.

Luo Changping looked at the closed door, his eyes instantly filled with disappointment. Seeing his anxious look, the matchmaker nudged him with her elbow in private, and then turned around to face Li Changsheng.

"Zhishu Li, this is Luo Changping. You know everything about him in the introduction sheet, right?"

The matchmaker shook her sunflower fan and pulled Luo Changping to him.

This was the first time she had seen boxes of marriage proposals with the size of three sacrifices and six rites after being a matchmaker for so long. The scale of three sacrifices and six rites was only seen in Guangdong when people commonly called it "excessive gifts", and this Luo Changping found his own

Sometimes, I can't wait to say that I want to propose marriage at home, and I have to do it according to the standard of "excessive gift".

She has seen rich people make such a big deal without getting the woman's consent. This is the first time she has seen such a big deal in so many years of working in the industry, so she is particularly excited. How big will the matchmaker's red envelope be when it is done?

Luo Changping blurted out to Li Changsheng: "Hello, father-in-law!"

Li Changsheng's face instantly darkened. This man really didn't even know how to be polite, so he scolded: "Stop yelling, who is your father-in-law!"

Li Yu listened to the intense conversation outside, looked at his mother with tearful eyes, and kept shaking his head.

"Mom, get him away quickly, quickly!"

Li Yu's mother thought that her daughter would be very resistant after being locked up for many days, so she touched her head to comfort her.

Li Changsheng looked Luo Changping up and down, and suddenly saw the thick gold chain he was wearing under his collar, the kind of thing only ruffians or nouveau riche would wear. Luo Changping's impression of him was even worse.

Luo Changping showed a rare smile, turned around and took a pack of "Double Happiness" from his hand, hugged it, and handed two cigarettes to Li Changsheng.

According to Guangdong custom, on the day of proposing a marriage or getting married, one must smoke Double Happiness and give out double portions to others. Luo Changping kept these in mind.

Seeing Luo Changping grovelingly handing him a cigarette and waiting to light it, out of courtesy, Li Changsheng still took the cigarette, lowered his head to light the cigarette butt, and took a deep puff.

In the lingering smoke, I could vaguely see the faint scar on Luo Changping's face, and I was filled with doubts. Could it be that the man introduced by the matchmaker was a gangster?

Li Changsheng saw his glib look, and his dissatisfaction and boredom made him extremely happy.

The matchmaker tentatively asked: "Secretary Li, look, all these gifts have been brought here. Please accept this marriage."

Luo Changping also had an expectant look on his face. Li Changsheng didn't say anything. He just glanced at the boxes lined up on the ground and the group of people behind Luo Changping. Those people seemed to be uncomfortable wearing suits. They were scratching their heads and scratching their heads. It was very interesting to watch.

Difference.

Li Changsheng thought about it for a while and then made a decision.

"You go, Mr. Luo has strong financial resources, and there will definitely be a woman with better conditions who can match him. Our family can't afford it, so please forgive me."

Li Changsheng clasped his fists as a gesture, waved his hand and gave the order to expel the guests.

The matchmaker had a look of embarrassment and surprise on her face. It was the first time she had seen such a person who didn't know how to appreciate others and treated money like dirt. He was really amazing today. Neither the one who proposed the marriage nor the one who proposed the marriage took an unusual approach.

"Father-in-law, you really don't have the final say in this matter." Luo Changping said these words without leaving.

Li Changsheng turned around curiously and looked at him, as if waiting for him to tell him the reason.

"After all, Li Yu and I are in love with each other. We had a physical relationship as early as when we were in Fangcun. If this news spreads, no one within ten miles will marry her."
