Bai Fumei in the 70’s

There was a spark bursting in He Songbai's heart, and his eyes became fierce and wild.

However, seeing the woman's earnest and clear eyes, there was no hint of humor in her eyes, and it is only full of distress.

The girl sighed, and her head falls on the pillow, staring at him.

"I heard Tiezhu say you took a lot of work."

He Songbai's rippling and restless thoughts went heavy after looking at her wet eyes, and it quieted down.

It took him a long time to mumble and say, "Brother-in-law's treatment will cost a lot of money."

"Grandma's old friend worked as a doctor in the provincial hospital, and the doctor said that his body should be raised with ginseng."

"The money is all spent, there is no other way."

Zhao Lanxiang said, "The poor also have the poor ways, isn't there a cheaper way?"

He Songbai nodded and said: "I didn't give him ginseng, he will drink some American ginseng to replenish his body now. It is much cheaper..."

[T/N: it's a different plant from normal ginseng. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_ginseng]

"The medicine is more expensive, let him maintain his body. The doctor said it is best to stay in the hospital for one or two months for observation, but we have no money, so my brother-in-law will be back soon."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help holding the man's rough palm, which was hard and warm.

"Is he better now?"

He Songbai said, "The face is a little more rosy, the American ginseng is not eaten in vain."

"When is the wedding?"

He Songbai said, "My sister's mother-in-law said that when he can stand up, we will put up the wedding wine. Rest assured."1

Zhao Lanxiang is also relieved. The captain is able to pick up this life, this time it's really because Grandma Li's blessing, and his mother who dare to gamble.

Li Dali stayed in the hospital for a month and went home just over a week after the operation. On the day he returned home, his two younger brothers took him back personally, and they were careful not to bump his wounds.

After Li Dali returned to the village, the villagers couldn't help but surprised.

The captain came back to life!4

At this time, it has been more than a month since the Niujiao Mountain's landslide. The captain with such a serious injury can survive for so long. Anyway, it can be regarded as a trip from the ghost gate and back! The funeral in the Hexi village went on for a month. Several seriously injured members were not survived. God blessed the captain to get his life back.

Li Dali's mother, Li Cuihua, cried poorly when she met everyone, "Where is the miracle?"

"Dali's six hundred yuans were all used up. There was no other way, so he is discharged from the hospital."

Everyone took a breath. 600 yuan... It turned out that so much money was spent on treatment, so it's no wonder that they could snatch someone back from the Lord Yama.1

Several members of the village who were seriously injured but died were poor at home and were sent home after a few days in the hospital.

Li Cuihua also said, "It's also because the new wife is water, which can suppress his calamity. I expected the wife to enter the house and be happy!"1

Everyone's attention shifted to the marriage. They both envied their family for getting their daughter-in-law without spending a penny, and regretted that it was not so glorious to be recruited as a husband like Dali. But having said that, the family didn't dislike Li Dali's short-lived life and don't even want a bridal gift, it's okay to ask for this condition.

That day, the captain's blood shed all over the ground, his hands and feet were crushed purple by the stones, and the girl might have to serve him for a lifetime if he picked his life back. It's already a pie from the sky to be able to ask for a wife.

They asked when the wedding wine will be held.

Li Cuihua said, "Wait until my son can stand up."

Li Cuihua comfortably accepted the congratulations from the villagers. She said everywhere that Li family spent 600 yuan to cure her son just like Grandma Li said, and she went back home dryly.

Li Cuihua had no choice but to send Dali to the He family. She gave birth to many children, including four sons. Dali is the hardest and most sensible. If the He family could do their best to save Dali's life, let him go to their house to be the son-in-law.

Li Cuihua entered the room and help her son to pee.

Li Dali's dark face showed a trace of uneasiness. He coughed and said, "Don't worry."

Li Cuihua didn't believe it, fearing that he would hold back.

Li Dali blushed and said, "Songye has taken care of it."

Li Cuihua gave him a mouthful, and asked shamelessly, "Have you got a wife yet?"

Li Dali's black face suddenly panicked, and a rush of heat rose from his entire body.2

He said, "What the hell..."

Li Dali is twenty-four this year. The young man in the village will be asking for a wife around seventeen or eighteen. Men of the same age can have children that can go to school, and he doesn't even have a shadow of a wife. This time he was hospitalized, and was served by He Songye for a month. He has a taste of the soft and heartwarming feeling from a woman.

Li Cuihua said, "Songye is a serious person. Knowing that you weren't good enough before, I didn't want to bother you."

"I'm trying to find a lucky day for you, and make a wedding for you two, otherwise it won't work."

Li Dali's voice is as small as the sound of mosquito.

Li Cuihua also said, "Mother agreed for you to be their son-in-law, don't feel resentful in your heart. The family has already emptied their money for your medical treatment."

"This time the He family emptied their house for you, which is a hundred times better than Li'Er. She is a little deaf and can't speak, but for this life-saving grace, you can endure."1

Li Cuihua continued to chatter.

Li Dali interrupted her in a timely manner, "Mother, you made a mistake."

He sighed faintly and slapped his foot. "Now I'm the burden."

"She is someone who didn't dislike my short-lived life, and is willing to serve me."

Li Cuihua's cheery face is defeated.

She couldn't stop sighing from the bottom of her heart, but she never showed disappointment in front of her son.

She gave him a sip, "Don't think about such a frustrating thing, it will be all right soon! After having a wine with your wife, I hope you will get a fat kid next year."
