Chapter 52: Self-redemption

On November 6, 1976, Tian Xiuyun finally met his comrade-in-arms Qin Dachuan arranged by the junior brother on this day.

Tian Xiuyun held a cardboard with Qin Dachuan's name written on it and stood in the train drop-off area to look around, she received a letter from the other party two days ago, knowing that it was today's train to Yongji County, Tian Xiuyun left early in the morning to wait at the station, for fear of missing the other party's flight.

"Hello. As soon as Qin Dachuan got out of the car, he saw the little girl holding his name tag, and knew that it should be the senior sister in the mouth of his captain.

"Hello, it's been hard to sit in the car for so long, right? I'll take you to eat something first. Tian Xiuyun put down the cardboard and hurriedly said hello, the other party was forced to retire because of leg problems, but now she wants to trouble people to take the train all the way, and she still feels a little unhappy.

"It's okay, it's not too far. Qin Dachuan was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't refuse the other party's kindness.

Tian Xiuyun took Qin Dachuan to the state-run hotel for lunch first, and then led Qin Dachuan to find a guest house to live temporarily, fortunately, Qin Dachuan himself had a letter of introduction, otherwise Tian Xiuyun would have forgotten about the accommodation at all.

After settling Qin Dachuan, Tian Xiuyun made an appointment with him to go to the mountain village tomorrow to ask for relatives, and then left with brisk steps.

Back in the backing village, Tian Xiuyun chopped firewood and did housework step by step, listening to the small abacus of the elders of the Tian family, and disdainful in her heart, to put it bluntly, they were all people who tried in vain to get benefits from her selling money.

For these people, Tian Xiuyun no longer has the disappointment and sadness of the past, even her biological parents are hiding in the room, the two of them discussed the matter of Widow Zhao's proposal for marriage in the middle of the night, one advocated marrying her off quickly to get cash, and the other wanted to see if there was a higher bidder with Grandma Tian.

After all, Tian Xiuyun's appearance has indeed changed a lot since she was reborn, but fortunately, she is still young, so everyone only thinks that as she grows older, her appearance has also grown. Only Tian Xiuyun herself knows that it is difficult to see her appearance like her parents now, and the reason for this is naturally the continuous transformation and sublimation of the body by spiritual power.

Of course, this change in Tian Xiuyun, in the eyes of the Tian family, shows that Tian Xiuyun's value is getting higher and higher. If Tian Xiuyun was still the same as in her previous life, although she was also beautiful, she had no aura, and her temperament was just like an ordinary village girl, so when Widow Zhao mentioned family affairs, Grandma Tian didn't take Qiao like she does now, so she shirked it a few times, and immediately agreed when Widow Zhao raised the bride price to 300 yuan.

At noon the next day, the Tian family came back after a busy morning of farm work, and when they were about to pack up for dinner, Widow Zhao came to the door again, and she came with Aunt Li from the village, who was a matchmaker for both men and women.

"Yo, this is preparing for dinner, it's really unfortunate. As soon as Aunt Li entered the courtyard, she saw a few little girls from the Tian family setting the table, so she stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

"Hey, it's his Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao who are here, come in and sit. Grandma Tian knew the purpose of the other party's visit, and she also felt that it was not a way to delay any longer, so she changed her previous image and greeted the two of them very warmly to sit down.

"Hey, this time I was also entrusted by Shufen, didn't she take a fancy to the eldest girl of your third family, and specially found me to talk about this matter, you see-" Aunt Li said and stopped and looked at Grandma Tian and Grandpa Tian.

"Hehe, Aunt Tian, I really like Xiuyun, although this is the case with my family's big pillar, but you can rest assured, I definitely can't let my daughter be wronged. Seeing that the two old men of the Tian family did not answer, Widow Zhao hurriedly said.

"That being said, we all know your big pillar, but Xiuyun is really reluctant to be hurt by us after all. Grandma Tian sighed fakely.

"Hey, Aunt Tian, this girl is going to marry after all, not to mention that Shufen can give a bride price of 300, just say that if she marries in this village, she can also take care of it. Aunt Li smiled and took over the conversation, and after the roll call, Tian Xiuyun married and lived in the same village, and there would be benefits in the future.

"Mother?" Chen Fang listened anxiously on the side, this is 300 yuan, enough for his youngest son to marry a daughter-in-law in the city, I am afraid that the old lady will continue to take Qiao and ruin such a good family affair.

"Okay~" Grandma Tian waved her hand and motioned to her eldest daughter-in-law not to say more.

However, just as Grandma Tian was about to agree, a calm male voice sounded in the yard.

"Is there anyone?" Qin Dachuan walked into the courtyard and asked loudly, just now the people in the village showed the way, this is Tian Xiuyun's house.

"Who is this?" Li Chunyan followed the voice and walked out, and saw a tall and strong young man standing in his yard, and couldn't help but look strange.

"Hello, is this the Tian family?" Qin Dachuan asked politely.

"Yes, who are you looking for?" Li Chunyan asked suspiciously, not remembering that anyone at home knew this young man.

"Naturally, it's about looking for someone who can be in charge. Qin Dachuan smiled, but he also thought that he was still a little abrupt this time, and he didn't find a matchmaker or anything, so it would be more credible.

"Ho—that's not a small tone. Li Chunyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party contemptuously, but considering that the family has always been headed by an old lady, although she didn't like it, she still invited people into the house.

"You want to find me?" Grandma Tian heard the conversation between the two in the house, but she was also curious about what this young man was looking for herself.

"I went to the east of the village to introduce Uncle Wu. Qin Dachuan returned, the Uncle Wu he said was a veteran of the Red Army before the mountain village, and was later picked up by the family's nephews, and moved out of the mountain village a few years ago, this is what Tian Xiuyun told him, just to have a name.

"Oh, I know, what's the matter, why are you here?" Grandma Tian also knew that this Uncle Wu was a well-known old Red Army in the mountain village, but he didn't have a good temper.

"I met Uncle Wu last year and introduced me to your granddaughter, I was discharged from the army this year, just like coming over to see if there is a chance. Qin Dachuan was also embarrassed, he was really a big man who came to ask for marriage, and he was a little unreserved, but he was not familiar with it here, so he could only complete the task on his own.

"Hey, Aunt Tian is going to be happy today. Aunt Li is very good at boasting, but obviously everyone in the Tian family is confused.

"Which girl are you talking about?" Grandma Tian frowned, the girls in the family who can talk about marriage now are Tian Xiufang from the second son's family and Tian Xiuyun from the third son's family.

"I heard that it is the eldest daughter of your third son's family. Qin Dachuan replied.

"No!" Widow Zhao heard that she was here to rob her relatives, so she couldn't agree.

Qin Dachuan squinted and glanced at the old lady and didn't say anything, but looked straight at the old lady, as far as Tian Xiuyun said, the most vocal in this family are Mrs. Tian and Old Man Tian, but the marriage of the girl in the family is the final say of Mrs. Tian.

"Da Nizi is not too convenient, and there is a girl in my family who has also reached the marriageable age..."Grandma Tian was about to introduce Tian Xiufang, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"I want to marry and take care of myself, naturally Uncle Wu said that this diligent eldest daughter is suitable, no one else can, don't worry, I have the bride price. Qin Dachuan interrupted Grandma Tian's words impatiently, he really hadn't done this kind of thing, but he also knew that he could only recognize Tian Xiuyun in order to complete the task assigned by the captain.

"Young man, don't you be a kidnapper, somehow you came here alone, what did you say about Uncle Wu, who knows if it's true or not. Aunt Li also said unceremoniously, anyone who comes to grab a job will not be too happy.

"I'm Qin Dachuan from Gangshi Village, Qianxian County, and this is my discharge certificate, which can prove that I am not a human trafficker, but I am just passing through here, thinking that I can do this on the spot, and I can rest assured. Qin Dachuan took out his retirement certificate and handed it over, saying that he just happened to be passing by before remembering this.

"Even if you are true, it is useless, I have already agreed with Aunt Tian, besides, I will pay a bride price of 300 yuan, do you have so much money as a poor soldier?"
