The winter and spring met, and the cold rain sprinkled on Lin Yuxiang's bare back, steaming.

Lin Chunhua's tender face was red, and she was sweating all over. She picked up the last bag of cement and moved to the third floor.

When he returned to the shed, it was already 9:30 in the evening.

Lin Yuxiang pulled out two roasted nests from the ashes and smeared garlic sauce on the glass bottle at the head of the bed. She ate it happily with hot water.

Moving bricks cost 1,200 yuan, with a centimeter of a brick and a bag of three-pointers of cement...

He counted the notes in his hands, which cost him two cents, and he earned more than the foreman every day!

Lin Chunhua laughed. She thought that her sister had already saved enough money for the operation. Her girlfriend would graduate from college soon, and there was no need for her to care about her tuition and living expenses.

Lin Chunhua planned to take the money tomorrow and buy some nutrition for her sister. Thinking of Lin Xiaoying's skinny face and pale face, he felt distressed...

Creak—

The shabby iron door of the shed was pushed open. A girl with long hair and a school uniform was standing at the door shyly with a roast duck and a bottle of Chinese pot in her hand.

The girl was thin, with a slim waist and thin shoulders. Her skin was white and tender, and her face was delicate. Coupled with her school uniform, she was pure and charming. No matter how many times Lin Yuxiang looked at her, she felt that her face was burning hot.

Embarrassed, Lin Yuxiang hid the head of the roasted bird's nest behind her. She scratched the messy head of the chicken's nest and asked, "Yuanyuan, why are you here?"

Tears welled up in Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes. She sobbed and grabbed Lin Yuxiang's hand.

"Brother Yu Hua, I got my graduation certificate today. I'm here to thank you!"

"When I was admitted to the university, my family didn't have money, so they didn't want to give it to me."

"It's you who gave up your college place and earned money on the construction site for me to study. It's been three years. You've sacrificed your youth and future. I'm going to marry you..."

She was full of fragrance and sincerity. Lin Yuxiang didn't drink, but she felt drunk.

Lin Chunhua held Zhao Yuanyuan in her arms with tears in her eyes. "For you, no matter what I do, I won't regret it!"

Tonight, Lin Yinghua was filled with a lot of wine and said a lot of things that he shouldn't have said. He also did what he should do when he was newly married.

When she woke up, the beauty had already left, leaving behind a bed sheet stained with blood and a lingering fragrance on the pillow...

The old-fashioned clock on the wall showed that it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Yuxiang had a good sleep. Thinking of what happened last night, he couldn't help but smile.

This morning, at dawn, Lin Yuxiang was woken up by Zhao Yuanyuan when she was in a daze. She said that she wanted to use her deposit account to register her work, so that she could save up all her money in the future.

Now, the savings that were sent back were on the table.

In the past three years, in addition to a small amount of money for Zhao Yuanyuan to go to school, the rest of the money was saved for the operation fee for her sister with a brain tumor.

The operation cost was 500 yuan. With this month's salary, it was just enough!

There was one more month, which was the day of Lin Xiaoying's operation. It was just in time.

After saving enough money for the operation, Zhao Yuanyuan finally graduated. The days of suffering at the construction site had finally come to an end. In the future, Lin Yuxiang planned to save money to do a small business.

After all, after washing away the dirty mud and smelly sweat, Lin Yuxiang was still a 20-year-old young man with knowledge.

The future was within reach!

Lin Chunhua picked up the deposit and rushed to the bank, borrowing two or eight puncheds from the foreman.

In front of the bank counter, Lin Yuxiang's eyes were wide open. Her eyes were red, and her eyeballs were bloodshot, but she could not shed tears.

"Please check it carefully. My money is saved up one by one, which is exactly five hundred and fifty cents. How could I say that I didn't..."

"Don't you understand human language?"

The girl at the counter said impatiently, "At 10 o'clock this morning, a girl named Zhao Yuanyuan took all the money away."

"That's impossible. Yuanyuan, she..."

The young lady at the counter waved her hand as if she was chasing away a fly. "Get out of the way, next!"

As soon as Lin Chunhua left the counter, the cleaner next to her wiped the stool with a rag and threw it into the trash can.

However, from the beginning to the end, Lin Yuxiang was standing in front of the counter, and her buttocks had never been touched by a stool.

Lin Yuxiang, who was out of her wits, stumbled through the crowded streets and squatted beside the trash can opposite the street. She held the bicycle, lowered her head, smoked, and shed tears.

In the glass, Lin Yuxiang's appearance was reflected in the glass. She was full of stubble, worn-out clothes, covered with cement, and her trouser legs were stained with rubber.

He didn't look like a 20-year-old young man with such a pathetic appearance.

Over the past three years, Lin Yuxiang had been cold all of a sudden, but she had bought the best meal tickets for Zhao Yuanyuan.

Lin Yuxiang was wearing a pair of pants that had been changed from a plastic bag. On her birthday, she was going to buy a dance dress for Zhao Yuanyuan.

Each of Zhao Yuanyuan's tuition fees was picked up by Lin Yuxiang's shoulder and carried on her back.

Could it be that the three years of love and the one night of warmth were all fake?

Why? On what basis!

After being cheated on, Lin Yinghua cried at most, but without 500 yuan for the operation, Lin Xiaoying would die.

No matter what, he had to get the money back from Zhao Yuanyuan!

The cigarette was burning in his hand, and Lin Yuxiang trembled. She wiped away her tears, put out the cigarette in her hand, and stepped on it.

Zhao Yuanyuan's family lived in the middle of the county, which was only four streets away from the bank. It only took her a cigarette to get there.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanyuan's house was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and they were all dressed in red and green. A group of people set fire to the fire to welcome the bride.

The bride was sitting in a small truck, and the people around looked at her enviously.

The 17th to 80th was in the teeth of the storm. He had just committed a capital crime and was in a state of waste.

In this era, Phoenix and the permanent two-and-a-kind could be counted as "big shots". A tractor with black smoke could be followed by a bunch of strange children.

No one in the village had ever seen such a " Supreme" wedding.

Zhao Yuanyuan's younger brother, Zhao unleashing, was dressed in a suit and had a big back. A red carpet and a long table were placed at the entrance of the hall. His parents were seated at the top of the hall. It was a lively scene of worshipping the heavens and earth.

Standing on one side of the crowd, Zhao Yuanyuan grinned from ear to ear.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuxiang's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.

Lin Yuxiang had heard that Zhao unleashing had an affair with a woman for more than two years, but it was too late to get married because she couldn't afford the 380-colored gift money.

His deposit and password were taken away by Zhao Yuanyuan in the morning, and Zhao unleash got married in the afternoon.

Could it be... For a moment, Lin Yuxiang felt dizzy and almost fell down.

When she saw Lin Yuxiang standing at the door like a ghost, Zhao Yuanyuan's face was full of disgust. "Today is my younger brother's wedding. Are you trying to make me lose face by dressing like a piece of mud?"

Lin Yuxiang's anger was ignited. "I'm a clay leg, but I'm not ashamed! I earned all your living expenses over the past three years!"

Liu Yuanyuan knew that she was in the wrong. Facing Lin Yuxiang's angry eyes, she subconsciously avoided them and said perfunctorily, "Today, my brother got married. I don't want to quarrel with you in front of my relatives and friends. I'll make a fool of myself."

"You can go in and have a seat first. Even if it's a big deal, we'll talk about it after drinking the wedding wine."

The wedding ceremony was full of relatives and friends. Only the main table where Liu Yuanyuan's parents sat was specially reserved.

In Changping County, the rules of marriage were particularly strict. Only the immediate relatives could sit at the main table.

Lin Yuxiang pointed at the empty seat at the main table and said impatiently, "Go sit with my mom. I still have to greet the guests."

To be able to keep a seat at the main table meant that he regarded Lin Yuxiang as one of his own. This made Lin Yuxiang still have a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Maybe... Zhao Yuanyuan took the money without knowing it. As long as she explained the situation, she could return the money.

As soon as the dishes were served, the main table was full of conversation. Lin Yuxiang was not good at talking, so she just sat down with her head down.

A person suddenly sat next to her. Zhang Guifang, who was chatting with her mother, jumped up as if she had stepped on the tail of a cat.

"Where did this beggar come from?"

Lin Yuxiang awkwardly wiped away the dust and sweat on her face with a napkin. "Auntie, it's me."

After seeing Lin Yuxiang's true appearance, Zhang Guifang's old face immediately stretched as if she had eaten a dead fly. She replied in disgust, "Our family is holding a wedding banquet. Who do you think you are? Are you here to join in the fun?"

Lin Yuxiang stood up uneasily. "Didn't you prepare this seat for me?"

"For you?" Zhang Guifang grinned and snorted. Then she shouted into the room, "Come here!"

A teddy dog wagged its tail and skillfully jumped onto the chair next to Zhang Guifang.

Zhang Guifang picked up a piece of pork rib and put it on the table. The teddy dog leaned its paws on the table and ate it with relish. Then, it squinted at Lin Yuxiang and said in a strange tone, "Look, even a well-behaved dog knows that when the owner doesn't shout, he can't go to the table casually."

"I don't know whose dog is tied up, but it came to me to beg for food."

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Yuxiang's face swelled to the size of a pig's liver. Her nails, which were clenched in her fists, were embedded into her flesh. She stood rooted to the ground, trembling all over. Her anger surged to her chest, and she could barely breathe.

Zhao Jianguo came back from one table after another to toast them. When he saw Lin Yuxiang standing at the table, he immediately scolded her with a fierce face, "Lin Yuxiang, I'm getting married. You're dressed like a beggar. You're not deliberately making others laugh at you!"

The bride hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Since our country has been founded, we can't be angry on such a happy day. No matter what, he's here to attend our wedding."

"From his appearance, I haven't seen any good food in his stomach. When the banquet is over, I'll take some leftovers back."

"Haha, my wife is still reasonable."

Zhao Jianguo took the bride's little hand and sat down. He glared at Lin Yuxiang and said, "Did you hear that? Get out of my way!"

Lin Chunhua was anxious and angry. When she wanted to rush to Zhao Jianguo and fight him to the death, Zhao Yuanyuan, who heard the quarrel, hurried over.

"What's wrong? Why are you quarreling?"

Lin Yuxiang lowered her head and clenched her fists to suppress her anger. "Where's my money?"

All the relatives of the family were here. Even if Zhao Yuanyuan was in the wrong, she was emboldened at this moment. She simply said, "Five hundred yuan, three hundred and eighty-eight yuan as a betrothal gift for my brother, and the rest is spent on the marriage management."

"You took the initiative to give me the money. I'm just a virgin. It's not as important as 500 yuan."

"Don't think you're at a disadvantage. Those who want to give me 500 yuan as a betrothal gift are lined up at the front door!"

"Look at how you're dressed like a clay leg. It's like you're asking for a meal. It's a blessing for you to have a girlfriend with me."

Zhao Yuanyuan crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her neck, and raised her nose to the sky. Her pretty face, which was quite different from her age, was full of shrewdness.

It was as if Zhao Yuanyuan, who was pitiful and gentle last night, was nothing more than an illusion.

Today, her sharp appearance of eating people without spitting out their bones was her nature.

Boom—

The money was gone, and Lin Yuxiang's sky collapsed.

Lin Yinghua clenched his fists, and his throat was filled with anger. He squeezed out the words through his teeth one by one.

"I dropped out of school at the age of fifteen. During the three years, I sent the newspaper before dawn, went to the construction site during the day, and went to the train station to carry bags at night."

"For three whole years, I'll wear the clothes left by the foreman and eat a little bit of vegetable sauce and rice!"

"I've been working hard for three years just to save 500 yuan for the operation. I want to operate on my sister and save her life!"

"I've kept every cent of the money. I took it from my teeth, but you cheated me out of it all night!"

"Zhao Yuanyuan, if you want me to die, just kill me with a knife. But you shouldn't have taken away my sister's life-saving money!"
