Chapter 734 The tragic love rival of the male protagonist in the 9th generation 11
Qiao Xiao's mother used to be from this village, but she left after getting married and came back only a few times, so Qiao Xiao was not familiar with the people and things in the village.
But as long as he wanted to know the news, he could easily find out.
In less than a day, Qiao Xiao learned that Yun Yi and Wen Yunyun were high school classmates, but both of them had to finish their studies because they failed the college entrance examination.
Yun Yi's purpose of going to Nancheng more than a year ago was the same as Fang Si's, which was to earn the dowry to marry Wen Yunyun.
Qiao Xiao had previously guessed that it was Yun Yi who framed Fang Si and sent him to jail, and thought it was because of some conflict in the village before, but now it seems to be due to emotional reasons.
What puzzled Qiao Xiao was that Yun Yi had been back for two or three days, but there was no news about them in the village.
Is it because Yun Yi has seen the colorful world outside that he doesn't plan to marry Wen Yunyun, a rural girl?
To be fair, Qiao Xiao didn't want to have anything to do with a locust family, but Wen Yunyun's cold and gorgeous appearance in the moonlight unexpectedly left a deep impression on his heart.
"cousin."
Just when Qiao Xiao was thinking about what to do next, Fang Si came back from outside angrily.
"Are you the only one?" Qiao Xiao did not see Yun Yi behind Fang Si.
"There's nothing to talk about with Yun Yi. If it's a business matter, we can go to Nancheng to talk about it." Fang Si said.
Qiao Xiao looked at Fang Si's useless appearance and cursed him in his heart as a waste.
"Cousin, can you lend me some money?" Fang Si walked forward and asked, as if he didn't notice Qiao Xiao's dissatisfaction with him.
"What do you want to borrow money for?" He had already given Fang Si one thousand yuan. It might not be a lot in South City, but in the village, one thousand yuan was enough for him to live a carefree life for a long time.
Even the workers and teachers in this town only earn a few hundred yuan a month.
"I... I just ran into Wen Zhong on my way back. He told me that if he wanted to marry Wen Yunyun, he would need a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan."
Not only Fang Si, even Qiao Xiao couldn't help but gasp when he heard it.
Are the Wen family crazy to ask for a dowry of 10,000 yuan for a girl from such a remote rural area?
Although life is much better now than it was a decade ago, the annual income in rural areas is limited. Apart from farming, the other income is selling the chickens, ducks and geese that they hatched themselves in the town. It is rare to find a family in the entire village with a savings of 10,000 yuan.
Besides, no one can spend all their savings when getting married.
"I can lend you money, but what are you going to use to pay it back?" Without waiting for Fang Si to answer, Qiao Xiao continued, "You spent more than three months with me before you were imprisoned. Do you think you're cut out for business?"
"If you can't pay me back by then, can I still ask my uncle for it?"
He has that ten thousand yuan, why should he use it to help Fang Si get married?
Wouldn’t it be better for him to marry Wen Yunyun himself?
"cousin……"
Fang Si wanted to continue begging, but Qiao Xiao was determined not to lend him the money.
-
Now that the busy farming season has passed, Yun's father and mother don't have to go to the fields every day. They only need to check occasionally to see if there are any weeds, and weed them out if they see any, so as not to affect the growth of crops.
Yun Yi happened to be at home and sometimes would go with them. After all, three people could work faster.
At noon that day, they had just returned to the village from the fields when the villagers said to them, "You have guests at home. Go back and take a look."
"He doesn't look very old, but he came here by car. The car he drove is so beautiful, even bigger than the one owned by Fang's relatives."
Yun's father and mother looked at Yun Yi, but Yun Yi didn't know who it was. He would only find out when he got home.
"Brother Yi."
Before Yun Yi returned to his doorstep, he saw the young man waving at him from afar, and then rushed towards him without saying a word.
"Brother Yi, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Yan threw himself on Yun Yi and gave him a big hug. A bright smile spread across his wheat-colored face. "Brother Yi, look, have I grown taller again?"
"Yun Yi, whose child is this?" Father Yun asked as he looked at their intimate behavior.
Without waiting for Yun Yi to speak, Zhao Yan stood up and bowed politely to greet them. "Hello, uncle and auntie. My name is Zhao Yan. I'm sixteen years old and I study at Nancheng No. 1 Middle School."
"Hello, hello, don't stand outside, come inside."
Yun's father and mother invited Zhao Yan and the driver who brought him here into the house. Zhao Yan took a sip of the cool well water and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It took me dozens of hours to get here by car, and Uncle Sun even took the wrong road. It wasn't easy for me, Brother Yi, to come here to see you." As if realizing what Yun Yi was going to say, Zhao Yan spoke pitifully first.
"Did you sneak out?" Yun Yi asked calmly with his arms folded across his chest.
It's not summer vacation now, and the middle school hasn't had its holidays yet.
Zhao Yan immediately shook his head, "Uncle Sun has come with us, how can this be considered sneaking out?"
This means that he walked out openly and honestly.
"Brother Yi, please talk to my parents and ask them not to send me abroad." Zhao Yan came forward, his slightly childish face full of grievance. "I'm going abroad and I'm unfamiliar with the place. There's no one around me. I'll be very scared."
Yun Yi blinked, unmoved.
"Also, I heard there are a lot of human traffickers abroad. I'm the only child my parents have. What if I get trafficked?"
"Who told you that?" Yun Yi was amused by his words. "Your parents must be doing this for your own good, but if you don't want to, go and tell them your reasons. They are not unreasonable people."
"They are unreasonable people." Zhao Yan snorted in grievance. "They are very reasonable when doing business outside, but they are never reasonable to me."
Zhao Yan felt very aggrieved, but Yun Yi had neither the ability nor the position to mediate their parent-child conflict.
"You've been on the car for such a long time, you should have a good rest first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner." Yun Yi said as he walked out.
The Yun family had not installed a telephone yet, so Yun Yi went to the village chief's house and called Zhao Ren to tell them the news that Zhao Yan was with him.
What Yun Yi didn't expect was that Zhao Ren and Hong Juan still hadn't realized that Zhao Yan was not in Nancheng, and they still thought he was attending school normally.
"Yun Yi, please take care of him for a while. We will rush over as soon as we finish our current work. Don't let him go anywhere else." Zhao Ren said anxiously.
Yun Yi agreed to all of them, "You don't have to worry too much, Yanyan will be fine with me."
"Did the child who came to your house sneak out?"
After seeing Yun Yi hang up the phone, the village chief asked curiously, "These city kids are really brave. They dare to run thousands of miles away by themselves. They are really impressive."
