Chapter 2: You're Mortal
In his previous life, Tang Xue also asked him like this!
It's just that his answer at that time was unwilling, because Li Yi has always had a crush on Wang Xuemei, the village flower of the neighboring village, and he didn't look down on Tang Xue at all when he wanted to marry Wang Xuemei.
Although Tang Xue's conditions in all aspects far surpass that of the village flower, whether it is appearance, figure, or knowledge, she can easily crush the other party, but the blind Li Yi just thinks that Wang Xuemei is good-looking.
It was precisely because of Li Yi's ruthless answer that Tang Xue was completely injured, so Tang Xue, who was physically and mentally exhausted in her previous life, left Nianzishan Village with grief and indignation and returned to her home in a neighboring province.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that three months later, the bad news came, Tang Xue died!
Suicide, and two deaths!
It turned out that Tang Xue found out that she was pregnant in the second month after she went back, and at that time, unmarried pregnancy was definitely a thing that was not tolerated by the world, and the scolding of her parents and the pointing of her neighbors finally broke Tang Xue.
So, on a cold night, she ended her life at the age of 19 with a pair of scissors!
When the news came, everyone in the Li family fell into grief and remorse.
Li Yi's third sister Li Na left home directly because of guilt and hatred for her younger brother Li Yi, and did not return home for 40 years, but only sent a sum of money back to the second elder of the family every year.
Father Li Shankui was depressed because he didn't educate his son well and indirectly killed such a good girl, and finally died of depression three years after Tang Xue's death!
Li Yi was also unable to gain a foothold in the township because of this matter, so he had to leave his hometown to earn a living.
Although he became a billionaire with assets of 10 billion yuan by the east wind of reform and opening up, he had a shadow on women, never married, no children, and suffered from remorse every day.
It can be said that because of his ruthless decision to harm Tang Xue, and Tang Xue's death also shattered the Li family and broke the family.
In his previous life, how many times did Li Yi recall this question Tang Xue asked him, and every time he regretted it to the point of heartache!
If God had given him another chance, he would have answered differently!
Tang Xue had been waiting for Li Yi's answer, but seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, a deep despair suddenly arose in his heart.
She endured the discomfort in her lower body and staggered towards the door, she never wanted to see this bastard again!
At this time, Li Yi finally came back to his senses, he pulled Tang Xue into his arms, and then said firmly: "I am willing to marry you!" ”
Tang Xue was stunned, and then asked tremblingly, "Are you really willing?" ”
"Really!"
"Woooooo
Hearing Li Yi's affirmative answer, Tang Xue couldn't hold back any longer, squatted down and cried bitterly!
Although Li Yi had agreed to marry her, Tang Xue still couldn't accept the reality that she was confused and lost.
Moreover, she has now received a notice to return to the city, and once she and Li Yi get married, she will inevitably lose her qualification to return to the city.
Thinking that she would stay in this poor ravine for the rest of her life, Tang Xue couldn't help but feel sad!
Hearing Tang Xue's crying, Li Na was the first to rush to the house, directly facing Li Yi is burst of hammers, and roared angrily at the same time: "You are a king and a calf, why did you make Xiaoxue cry again, do you still think that the little girl of the Wang family is unwilling to marry Xiaoxue?" ”
"Let me tell you, if you don't marry Xiaoxue today, don't recognize me as a sister in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers and educated youths who were watching the excitement outside also stopped doing it, and they all spoke out against Li Yi:
"This kid is not a thing, Xiaoxue is willing to marry because their Li family's ancestral tomb is smoking, and he is not willing to do so!"
"Who said no, I really feel worthless for Xiaoxue, why is it cheap for this little bastard!"
"This kid is a bastard..."
Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly said to the third sister: "I am willing to marry Tang Xue!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Yi strode outside the door, and then said loudly to the villagers and men and women who were watching the excitement at the door: "Uncles, I did something wrong yesterday because I was drunk, and I Li Yi admit that I am willing to be responsible." ”
"I am here to make a statement, I am not only willing to marry Tang Xue as my wife, but also will use the highest dowry and eight sedan chairs to marry her into the door, and I will do what I say!"
Feng Kai, the village party secretary, was the first to express his position, and he said loudly: "Okay, this is like a man, then I will also make a statement on behalf of the brigade, if you get married, I will give your family an extra person's land!" ”
At this time, a female intellectual, who was wearing two braids on her head, suddenly asked, "When will you marry us Xiaoxue?" ”
Li Yi knew this woman, her name was Zhang Xinyao, and she was a very good friend of Tang Xue.
At that moment, Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Marriage is a sacred thing, and I don't want Xiaoxue to be wronged, so our family must prepare well, and then marry Xiaoxue in a beautiful way!" ”
"How long will it take?"
"Let's do it for a month, and in a month, we'll set up a wine and marry and feast everyone!"
"Since Xiaoxue has agreed, then we will wait for you for a month, if you dare to repent, even if Xiaoxue does not pursue it, we will go to the county to sue you!" Zhang Xinyao said.
"Hmm!"
Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Feng Zhishu immediately said: "Okay, the matter is settled, everyone disperse, disperse!" ”
Everyone saw that there was no excitement to see, and then they dispersed!
.......
Although the lively people are gone, the atmosphere of the Li family is still dignified!
When this kind of thing happens, not only Tang Xue has lost his reputation, but the Li family has also lost his face!
Moreover, the Li family itself has many children, and the poor in the family are not even enough for rations, and marriage is a big expense, where to go to make so much money!
When everyone dispersed, Li Shankui directly called everyone in the family to the house to discuss the matter of holding a wedding for Li Yi.
In the low and dim room, Li Shankui squatted by the stove, Zhang Yuehong and Li Na protected Tang Xue with red eyes, and only Li Yi straddled the edge of the kang.
"Tell me, how are you going to get married?" Li Shankui looked at his son and said.
Li Yi looked at Tang Xue, who looked haggard, and then said, "Let's listen to Xiaoxue's opinion first!" ”
Li Na also spoke: "Yes, listen to Xiaoxue's opinion first!" ”
Tang Xue opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Zhang Yuehong on the side hurriedly said: "Xiaoxue, if you have any requirements, just say it directly, and the aunt will try her best to meet you!" ”
Tang Xue hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "I don't want to inform my parents about getting married..."
"What kind of business is this, how can there be a marriage without notifying the parents?" Zhang Yuehong said hurriedly.
"I... I don't want them to see me marry myself off in this way! ”
"But... But how long can this kind of thing be hidden, besides, haven't you already received a notice to return to the city, and your parents must have also received it, you can't hide it! ”
"Auntie, I will write to them to tell them that there is a temporary change in the county, and my return to the city will be postponed until next year! Hide it for as long as you can! ”
Seeing that his mother was about to say something, Li Yi immediately interrupted her and said, "Listen to Xiaoxue about this!" ”
Then Li Yi said to Tang Xue: "What requirements do you have for a bride price or something?" ”
"I also know the situation of your family, so I don't want the bride price, just clean up the house where you live..."
Before Tang Xue's words fell, he heard Li Shankui and Li Yi say at the same time: "No! ”
Li Shankui took two puffs of dry tobacco and said: "Baby, this matter itself is that our family Xiaoyi can't stand you, you are willing to marry into our Li family, that is the virtue that our ancestors have accumulated for eight lifetimes, how can you marry in so aggrieved!" ”
"I'm in charge of this matter, a bride price of 88 yuan, a watch, 3 new clothes, and all the covers are new!"
Li Yi said: "I won't talk about the rest, you must also have what others have, and I will try to let you have what others don't have!" All in all, I will marry you in style, and I will never let people gossip about you behind your back! ”
Hearing Li Yi's words, Tang Xue's heart was slightly touched.
The reason why Li Yi was asked to marry her was entirely because she had lost her life to Li Yi, and she had no other possibility than to marry Li Yi.
But she knows clearly who Li Yi is, she doesn't learn or know, he is idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, cheating, although there is no big evil, but he has a stinky problem.
Even Li Na, her own sister, was disgusted when she mentioned him.
So she really didn't expect Li Yi to say such a loud thing, and for a while, her heart was mixed and complicated!
