Chapter 65 70 The Officer's Forced Marriage (4)
And the other side.
In order to get Bai Ruofu to give up Li Yong, Bai Jiaojiao is willing to give Bai Ruofu the 100 yuan dowry that Li Yong will provide.
Bai Ruofu reluctantly agreed.
Anyway, once this money reaches the Bai family, it won't become Bai Jiaojiao's dowry.
Having served the Bai family like a slave for so many years, it's only natural that I receive some compensation.
Besides, 100 yuan can't buy back the effort I put in!
As for her younger brother Bai Chenghe's marriage, she believed that Bai Dashan and Wang Juhua would do everything they could to prepare for it.
She will help her younger brother then.

When Li Yong woke up, the sky had fallen.
Last night, he dreamed of sleeping with his beautiful wife in his arms, and he even explained to Bai Ruofu that he and Bai Jiaojiao hadn't completely slept together, and that he was still a virgin.
He slept until the rooster crowed, and the Bai family told him with great "regret"—
This morning, the hardworking Bai Ruofu went to the river to wash clothes before dawn.
He "accidentally" fell into the river, but was rescued by Zheng Huai-ren, a military officer who came to Shangba Village for a matchmaking event.
Zheng Huai-ren performed CPR and artificial respiration on Bai Ruofu.
The villagers didn't know this method of rescuing people who had fallen into the water.
All that is known is that Bai Ruofu was hugged and touched by Zheng Huaiyuan.
The Bai family then took the opportunity to change the blind date partners for the two sisters.
Bai Ruofu felt quite guilty about this. After all, it was the Bai family who had schemed against Zheng Huaiyuan.
On the way home, the Bai family deliberately walked quickly so that Bai Ruofu and Zheng Huaiyuan could walk together and catch up.
After thinking it over, Bai Ruofu decided to tell the whole story.
"Comrade Zheng... I'm sorry, I deliberately jumped into the water to wait for you to rescue me, my purpose was to marry you..."
Unexpectedly, Zheng Huaiyuan quickly covered her mouth with his fingers.
“Afu, stop talking. I don’t blame you. On the contrary, I should thank you for your scheming against me.”
He had already heard before he came that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was beautiful and capable.
It's a pity that I've already told them.
The Bai family's youngest daughter didn't have any particularly good reputation; people just said she wasn't as pretty as the older girls.
Zheng Huai-ren doesn't judge people by their appearance; he just wants a virtuous wife who can treat his adopted daughter well.
After getting to know Bai Ruofu, I discovered... that her appearance is sometimes worth a look.
That feeling was something he could never forget for the rest of his life...
Of course, appearance and figure are only part of it.
He valued her character more.
Afu... is too kind; so kind that he feels a little guilty.
"Afu, I have an adopted daughter, and I want to find a wife, partly to take care of her. I have my own selfish motives too..."
There is no black and white in this world; most things are gray areas.
Moreover, Bai Ruofu did not consider her adopted daughter a burden.
"You're so kind! You even adopted the orphan of your fallen comrade. I admire you so much!"
Bai Ruofu's starry eyes made Zheng Huai-ren feel incredibly passionate, causing his Adam's apple to bob several times.
But what moved him even more was Bai Ruofu's next words: "I will love and raise her as if she were my own daughter. The orphan of a martyr should be treated well, otherwise neither of us would be worthy of the heroic souls who are buried in the ground."
These words stirred Zheng Huai-ren's heart, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.
At this moment, he was even more grateful for the arrangement of fate that allowed him to meet someone whose soul resonated with his.
For the first time, he felt an urge to hug a female comrade tightly and to declare to everyone that his love for Comrade Bai Ruofu was so deep that he could not extricate himself.
