Li Dan didn't want to admit it, but didn't dare to look at his sister-in-law, so he simply turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Brother Dong and I are just ordinary friends."
Sister-in-law Li breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you know, Zhao Dong's girlfriend is so beautiful, how can she fall in love with you? I'm just afraid that you're a stubborn girl!"
Li Dan bit the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
Sister-in-law Li took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Then your brother and I will help you make the decision about your marriage to Miao Daqing!"
Li Dan's expression changed, "Marriage? Sister-in-law, we just met once, and you want me to marry him?"
Sister-in-law Li looked indifferent, "What's the matter? It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Back then, your brother and I decided to get married even after just one meeting!"
Before Li Dan could open her mouth, she emphasized, "And let me tell you, there are so many girls vying for a man with such good conditions in Daqing. If you don't make a move, you will be gone!"
Li Dan was rarely tough, "Nowadays they say marriage is free, sister-in-law, you can't make the decision for me on this matter."
After Mrs. Li had said all her good things, she sneered: "What's the matter, within a few days of arriving in Tianzhou, do you really think of yourself as a city dweller? In short, your brother and I have already agreed to this marriage. You have to marry me or not."
You have to get married too!"
Li Dan bit her lip tightly, "Sister-in-law, don't force me!"
"Xiao Dan, you hate your sister-in-law now, but one day in the future, you will definitely be grateful to her!"
Seeing that Li Dan still refused to let go, she sneered, "Don't think that with Zhao Dong backing you, you dare to challenge me. Let me tell you, this is our Li family's business, and his surname Zhao can't control it like this."
Width!"
As he was talking, someone approached from outside and said, "Xiaodong can't control it, so can I?"
Aunt Li looked back, her face a little unnatural, "Auntie, why are you here?"
She is a little afraid of Mother Zhao, the kind of person who respects and fears her at the same time.
Li Dan bit the corner of his mouth in grievance, "Auntie..."
Mother Zhao waved, "Xiao Dan, come here, come to Auntie."
Sister-in-law Li was embarrassed for a while, "Auntie, please don't worry about this matter. I am also doing good for Xiao Dan. I am her sister-in-law. How can I still harm her?"
Mother Zhao asked back, "Sister-in-law Li, I heard about this from Xiaodong and went to inquire about it. The person you introduced to Li Dan was Miao Daqing from the next street, right?"
"That's right."
"This Miao Daqing eats, drinks, whores, gambles, and even beats his wife. The reason why his ex-wife divorced is because he often drank too much and beat others while drunk. He divorced because he couldn't bear it!"
Sister-in-law Li was doubtful, "Auntie, are you telling the truth?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Li Dan was so frightened that his face changed when he heard that Miao Daqing was drunk and beating people.
Sister-in-law Li looked embarrassed, "Then maybe he has changed his ways now? He and his ex-wife are not happy and will definitely fight. He told me yesterday that he really likes Xiao Dan and will really be good to her!"
Mother Zhao took Li Dan's hand and said, "If Miao Daqing doesn't change his bad habits, aren't you going to push Xiao Dan into the fire pit?"
Sister-in-law Li was still arguing, "I guess not?"
"I came here today for one purpose. If Li Dan agrees, none of us have the right to object, but if she doesn't agree, no one has the right to force her!"
Li Dan hurriedly opened his mouth, "Auntie, I don't agree."
Mother Zhao asked back, "Sister-in-law Li, did you hear it too?"
Sister-in-law Li glared hard, this damn girl is embarrassing herself in front of people outside!
She smiled softly and said: "Auntie, are you being a little too lenient?"
Mother Zhao said sternly, "It's not my responsibility. This is the law. I have the state and the neighborhood committee behind me. Forced marriage is illegal!"
Sister-in-law Li was immediately speechless. She wanted to defend herself, but her twisted reasoning and nonsense had no effect in front of Mother Zhao.
Mother Zhao comforted Li Dan for a few more words before leaving.
Sister-in-law Li was so angry that her teeth were itching, "Okay, damn girl, have you found a backer?"
Li Dan didn't want to get too serious with his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I know you do good for me, but I really don't like that Miao Daqing!"
Sister-in-law Li mocked, "You do like Zhao Dong, but can others like you?"
"What are you still looking at? Get to work quickly!"
With that said, she turned around and went to the back alley and dialed a phone number.
"Daqing, Xiao Dan refuses to agree to this matter, what do you think we should do?"
Miao Daqing asked loudly on the other end of the phone, "What? Li Dan disagrees? Didn't you say before that you could handle her?"
Sister-in-law Li was embarrassed, "Yes, originally this girl's marriage was entirely up to me, but..."
Miao Daqing heard the hidden meaning, "But what? Is it the one named Zhao?"
"That's not true, it's Mother Zhao!"
Miao Daqing's head was spinning, "Who the hell is this Mother Zhao?"
"It's my landlord, Zhao Dong's mother. She came here just now and said she wouldn't let me embarrass Li Dan."
"She? What does she do? Is she qualified to take care of your family's affairs?"
"This Mother Zhao is amazing. She is a member of the community defense team, and she also has a position in the neighborhood committee. She also said that if I force Li Dan to get married again, she will bring people from the neighborhood committee to the door..."
Sister-in-law Li is also helpless, as all her family wealth is tied up in the hotpot restaurant.
If there is an unpleasant quarrel with the neighborhood committee, the business will not be able to operate normally.
Miao Daqing sneered, "Bullshit, what kind of community still has a fucking joint defense? It's okay to scare you outsiders, but scare me? Haha, I know about this, you don't have to worry about it!"
With that said, the phone was hung up in a hurry.
…
Jiangbei District Cemetery.
Zhao Dong changed into a black sweatshirt and followed Yu Zhi to pay homage to Uncle Yu.
When he was in school, he often went to Yu Zhi's house to have a meal, but he didn't want to play tricks on people. When they saw each other again, they would be separated forever.
One cup of turbid wine, three pillars of fragrant fragrance.
After the worship, the two of them said as they walked down the mountain, "Dongzi, let's have a drink at noon. We won't go out in the car today."
Zhao Dong lit a cigarette, handed over the lighter and said, "Not today, I have an appointment at noon."
Yu Zhi didn't force it, "Then it will be another day. By the way, the time for the class reunion has been set. Will you go then?"
Zhao Dong didn't have much interest, "Let's talk about it later."
Yu Zhi suddenly asked, "Yesterday when you sent Li Dan back, did she tell her what her impression of me was?"
"Well, I say you are a nice person."
"Really or not?"
"So, you kid must behave well!"
"Hey, I feel relieved with your words. By the way, Dongzi, I will give you the 20,000 yuan next month. You are not in a hurry to use it, right?"
Zhao Dong waved his hand and remembered something and said: "Dazhi, do you still remember my brother's factory?"
"Remember, Hongfan Machinery, we went there to steal scrap metal before. What happened?"
"I heard from my brother yesterday that the factory is not performing well and is laying off employees."
"Is this happening? Then you have agreed with my brother not to sign any agreement. There are a lot of tricks in it!"
"I know, by the way, you can help me find out more when you have time. I'm afraid that big brother will get involved."
"Don't worry!"
While chatting, Yu Zhi suddenly asked, "Dongzi, I want to discuss something with you."
