7. Male Supporting Roles in Period Novels (7)

Compared to Li Bishuang's anger, Zhou Jiaming was very impressed by the admiring gaze of his sister who he grew up with, and nodded implicitly, "It's nothing, as long as you like it."

"I knew my brother was the best to me!" After Liu Beibei said this sweetly, she walked up to Li Bishuang and stretched out her hand. She smiled very happily, but there was a bit of pride in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your clothes. ”

Li Bishuang's eyes were completely red, and she felt that she had never been as aggrieved as she was now in her entire life.

She is just a sister. How could Jiaming treat a newly married wife like this for a sister who is not even related by blood?

With red eyes, she threw her clothes on the ground and ran out crying again.

As soon as he opened the door, he met the eyes of Li Hongfeng and Duan Qingen.

The three of them looked at each other in silence. Li Bishuang quickly noticed the new clothes on her cousin's body and the bags she was carrying. She knew those bags were from Duan's store.

Her clothes were taken away, but Li Hongfeng was able to have so many new clothes, which Li Bishuang, who had been obsessed with "living a much better life than Li Hongfeng" since her rebirth, couldn't accept it.

Impossible, Li Hongfeng can't live a better life than her. She has obviously taken the lead. Now that she is marrying Zhou Jiaming, she will only be the rich wife in the future.

Li Bishuang kept brainwashing herself, but Li Hongfeng's new clothes were so dazzling that she couldn't concentrate anymore.

In the end, it was Duan Qingen who interrupted her association full of unwillingness and resentment.

The ex-fiancé, who was wearing slim-fitting clothes and looking increasingly slender, greeted Li Bishuang in a friendly manner: "Cousin, what a coincidence?"

Li Bishuang almost didn't realize that Duan Qingen was calling her. Yes, she was reborn. Duan Qingen's current wife was Li Hongfeng, so of course he had to call her cousin.

Although she thought this way, she had been a couple in her previous life, and he was the person she couldn't wait to stay away from after starting over again. Li Bishuang did not want Duan Qingen to see the tears of grievance in her eyes.

She coughed dryly and said as if nothing had happened, "Yes, I came out to get some fresh air. Did you just come back from shopping?"

Li Hongfeng was about to speak, but Duan Qingen held his hand. The young man looked towards Zhou's yard with a smile on his face and a puzzled tone, "I thought we heard you arguing with someone when we passed by just now?"

How could Li Bishuang want to make Duan Qingen feel that her life was not good after leaving him? She immediately denied it: "No, we were chatting just now, maybe the voice was a little loud."

"That's good. Hongfeng and I are tired after shopping for so long, so we'll go back first."

Duan Qingen pulled Li Hongfeng and left. Seeing him holding his wife's hand without any scruples, you can see how harmonious the relationship between him and Li Hongfeng is. However, Li Bishuang has never even had skin-to-skin contact with Zhou Jiaming since she got married.

She tried hard to convince herself that she didn't need to envy Li Hongfeng. Her good life now was only temporary. When the Duan family went bankrupt, she would be like herself in her previous life, suddenly falling from a high place, and eventually becoming ill but having no money to treat her.

Because of meeting Li Hongfeng and Duan Qingen, Li Bishuang's brain filled with grievances finally calmed down.

She couldn't have a conflict with Zhou Jiaming. In his previous life, Zhou Jiaming slowly accepted her because of his quarrel with Li Hongfeng. If she had to do it again, she would replace Li Hongfeng, but she would not push her husband away like Li Hongfeng did.

Now she just has to wait for Zhou Jiaming to get into a good university and become a rich man after graduation. But now, she has to hold her husband in her hands and let him focus on her.

Li Bishuang went back to the yard and washed her face, then came to Zhou Jiaming's side as if nothing had happened. After catching the flash of surprise on Liu Beibei's face, she showed a gentle smile on her face and said to Zhou Jiaming: "That was just now. I'm not sensible. Beibei is Jiaming's sister, that is, my sister. She wants some clothes, how can I not give them to her. "

After finishing speaking, Li Bishuang saw the satisfied look on Zhou Jiaming's face. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and turned to Liu Beibei with a fake smile: "You think so, sister Beibei?"

She tolerates it.

When the Zhou family becomes prosperous, she will have everything she wants. There is no point in putting up with a bitch now.

***

Duan Qing'en and Li Hongfeng walked hand in hand all the way back, and of course many people saw them. They couldn't help but laugh and say that they were indeed young people, and they couldn't be separated for a moment after they got married.

Contrary to the harmonious Duan family, the Zhou family had a small quarrel every day and a big quarrel every three days since Li Bishuang married.

The reason is still Liu Beibei. Her family is poor and has many children. She is the eldest son in the family. Because she looks like Zhou's mother and sister-in-law, she has been liked by her since she was a child. She often goes to Zhou's mother's family to play. Because of this relationship, Zhou My mother also liked this unrelated niece very much.

The day after Li Bishuang got married, Liu Beibei lived in the Zhou family. She didn't work or go to the ground. She pestered Zhou Jiaming to read and write every day. This made her have to do a lot of work and be forced to go to the ground since she got married. Li Bishuang, who didn't even have time to talk to her husband, hated her to the extreme.

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, when Li Hongfeng first married into the Duan family, Liu Beibei also lived here for a while. However, at that time, she was busy shopping and meeting new friends in the town, and did not pay much attention to her cousin's married life.

If Liu Beibei did the same thing in her previous life, Li Bishuang felt that she understood why Li Hongfeng didn't like her.

She can tolerate her husband, she can tolerate her mother-in-law, but she cannot tolerate a relative who is beyond her reach.

The various struggles between Liu Beibei and Li Bishuang suddenly became a topic of chat for the whole village.

It was also at this time that Li Hongfeng discovered that her newlywed husband liked to watch the fun. Every time the Zhou family made a noise, Duan Qingen would happily pull her to listen to the corner.

The two families were not far apart, so Duan Qingen's little hobby was well satisfied.

But after listening too much in the corner, Li Hongfeng gradually realized something was wrong.

Although it was holiday now, Li Hongfeng still occasionally went to the city library to look for information. When she came back from looking for information, she hesitantly said to her husband, with whom she had become more and more tacit, "Why do I feel that Liu Beibei and Zhou Jiaming have little to do with each other?" right?"

Duan Qingen was writing and drawing in Li Hongfeng's notebook. When he heard this sentence, he raised his eyebrows without surprise, "I discovered it too."

"I've met them several times. It was fine in the town. But in the city, they were just holding hands openly. They are so old. Even if they are brothers and sisters, they wouldn't be like this, right?"

"Zhou Jiaming likes that Liu Beibei."

Duan Qingen finally finished the drawing on his hand, shook the paper, raised his face and said to his confused little wife: "Otherwise, why do you think that every time Liu Beibei and your cousin quarrel, Zhou Jiaming always sides with Liu Beibei?" ”

Li Hongfeng: "..."

She was silent for a long time before saying, "But since he likes Liu Beibei, why would he marry someone else?"

"Liu Beibei's family has no money."

Duan Qingen blew the paper in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled at Li Hongfeng: "But your uncle and others have it."

Putting down the paper, he stood up and analyzed: "Unlike you, Zhou Jiaming can get a scholarship. He has to live and eat in the city, which costs a lot of money. His mother is not hardworking. It is estimated that their family has already been unable to make ends meet. In addition, the college entrance examination is about to take place, and it costs nothing to go to college. But look at the clothes Zhou Jiaming wears and the pen he uses. He is the most respectable person. How can he be willing to spend a penny in college without spending a lot of money? "

Li Hongfeng was stunned, "That's why he married my cousin for my uncle's money."

"No, that's not right. I was engaged to him before, and uncle and the others would not support me."

"But you have a high school degree. It should be easy for you to find a job, and the salary will be very good. Zhou Jiaming will still be rich if he marries you."

Li Hongfeng felt cold all over and sat on the chair blankly.

Yes, from Zhou Jiaming's point of view, this was the best thing to do. She couldn't help but think about what would have happened if her cousin had not married her with someone else, and she had successfully married into the Zhou family.

Going to college has always been her goal, and she will never give up. If Zhou Jiaming asked her to work, she might study hard to get a scholarship to go to college, and use the scholarship to exchange for her right to go to school. Maybe she wouldn't even have to hand over the scholarship. , she can only be a good wife and mother in the Zhou family.

"Then...cousin, she..."

"It doesn't matter what she does." Duan Qingen said nonchalantly: "She insisted on marrying Zhou Jiaming, not you forcing her."

Of course you have to bear the responsibility for the choices you make.

He regarded this conversation as a little fun between husband and wife. After he finished speaking, he handed the clothes he drew on the paper to Li Hongfeng to see, "Ignore those insignificant people, come and see, this is the new thing in the store." Style, I plan to customize a large batch..."

***

While the young couple were discussing how to make money, Li Bishuang also encountered a money crisis.

When she wanted to buy some new clothes to dress herself up, she was surprised to find that the money she had kept in the cabinet was gone.

That was the money that Li's mother specially gave her to keep at the bottom of the box. The amount was definitely not small.

Li Bishuang immediately suspected Liu Beibei. When the quarrel broke out, Zhou's mother came forward and admitted that she had taken the money, and her attitude was very confident.

"You are our Jiaming's wife, and your money is his money. What's wrong with spending some money on him?"

"If you don't tell me, I haven't remembered. I spent all the money I took from you last time. Do you still have it? If not, go to your parents' house to get it. Jia Ming will take the college entrance examination soon, so she needs to eat something good."

So shameless and so confident, Li Bishuang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

But after she was angry, she could only go home with a livid face and ask her parents for money.

There was no way, she was really worried that Zhou Jiaming would not do well in the exam because of lack of money, and all her efforts would be in vain.

The first time Li Bishuang went there, Li's mother immediately gave her money. Zhou's mother treated her better because of the money. She tasted the sweetness and took the initiative to go home to get the money the second time. Li's mother gave her money again. The third time The next time, Li's father got angry, saying there was no reason for father-in-law and mother-in-law to subsidize his son-in-law, and asked Li Bishuang to go back empty-handed.

Li Bishuang didn't get the money, and life gradually became difficult in the Zhou family.

At this time, she heard that Duan's shop was making new styles of clothes. It was said that they were dresses worn by girls in big cities.

Li Bishuang was deeply impressed by this incident. In her previous life, she had lived a good life with no shortage of money, and the Duan family was also good to her. However, Duan Qingen insisted on trying new styles and made so many items with confidence. As a result, After the new style of skirts came out, the weather suddenly cooled down, so naturally I couldn't wear skirts. Only a few pieces of those clothes were sold.

The Duan family spent a lot of money on these dresses. They originally had a chance to survive until the next summer, but at that time someone happened to open a clothing store in the town. The Duan family was no longer able to purchase more goods, so they were naturally attracted by this new store. The clothing store was squeezed out and almost went bankrupt.

Now again, listening to familiar things, Li Bishuang suddenly had an idea.

Zhou's mother was doing needlework, and she was impatient when Li Bishuang came to see her. After hearing her vows, she became excited, but still hesitated: "Really or not? That family has opened a shop for so many years, and we are in their Can I sell it by setting up a stall in front of my door?”

"Of course we can. Just trust me, mom. Let's buy some thick clothes and sell them in front of their house. Everyone is used to going to his house to buy clothes. That's where the most people buy clothes. If the Duan family doesn't let us sell, We just cried to them, my cousin married into his family, we are all relatives, what’s wrong with helping each other?”

Mother Zhou felt that what she said was quite right, "But why do you need to wear thick clothes? It's quite hot today."

"I have news. The temperature will drop immediately. The Duan family's shop is full of summer clothes. Once the temperature drops, they will not have time to make them. At this time, won't all our clothes be sold? After selling them, there will be Money, let’s go into clothes. They are now making new styles of clothes everywhere, and they definitely don’t have much money on hand. By then, all the customers will buy clothes from us, and maybe one of them won’t be able to survive. We will be the only one in town that sells clothes. Clothes store.”

This sounds very naive at first, but now almost everyone in the village knows that the Duan family has spent a lot of money to make new styles of skirts. Even if they have money, they will not have much money left. In addition, Zhou’s mother has always been at odds with Ye Cuixiang. , upon hearing this, my heart immediately moved.

But she still threatened Li Bishuang: "It's okay if you make a profit, but if you lose, you will bear the loss."

How could she compensate? She was a reborn person.

Li Bishuang thought proudly and raised her head confidently: "Mom, don't worry!"

She couldn't wait to watch Li Hongfeng fall from a high place. It would be her turn to look down on her in this life!

****

The Zhou family made preparations intensively. Li Bishuang bought the goods. Since she didn't have much money, she only focused on keeping warm when buying clothes, but she didn't pay much attention to the style.

Anyway, when the weather gets cold, they will be the only ones selling thick clothes, and there will be a lot of people buying ordinary styles.

While she was waiting excitedly, one day, cold air suddenly appeared and hit the entire north.

Li Bishuang excitedly urged Zhou's mother to get up. They pushed the borrowed car and the ordinary warm clothes all the way to the door of Duan's shop.

Before I arrived, I saw people crowding in front of the shop, all looking like they were here to buy clothes.

Li Bishuang became even more excited, "They must be here to buy warm clothes. I went to the store yesterday and saw that there are only summer clothes in the store."

Mother Zhou was also very happy, but after taking a few glances, she always felt that something was not right.

"No, why are they paying?"

Li Bishuang was stunned and looked over subconsciously. Sure enough, she saw a group of people in the store paying money. At the door of the fitting room where they were waiting in line, someone opened the door and walked out.

She was wearing a long skirt, which was the same as Li Bishuang remembered, but the only difference from her previous life was that she wore an off-white coat outside the skirt, which was beautiful and warm.

And these people obviously came to buy this dress that comes with a jacket, which is both good-looking and warm.

Someone passed by their car, took a look at the clothes on the car, showed a look of disgust, and left in a hurry.

Obviously, after having better choices, no one will buy these ordinary clothes from Li Bishuangjin anymore.

Next to me, I heard Mother Zhou’s angry voice: “What’s going on?! Didn’t you say they only have summer clothes?”

All the Zhou family's money was used to buy clothes, and now they are almost in debt, and this money will definitely not be repaid under the current circumstances.

Li Bishuang looked in the direction of Duan's shop, her face turned pale.

She knew that her life in the Zhou family would be even more difficult.
