"No, she never mentioned the betrothal gift to me." Han Dong shook his head.

Since it's not a betrothal gift, then what is making Han Dong frown?

Could it be that, as Li Quan guessed, Han Dongxi had become a father and knew the truth? Some men, because they loved a woman to the core, could even accept some unbelievable realities.

For example, being a father.

As long as the woman is willing to be with him, he doesn't mind her giving birth to the child and raising it together.

"Damn, Dongzi, you can't be really happy..." Li Quan felt that he should persuade this good brother that there are many better women in the world and there is no need to hang himself on a scumbag.

As soon as he mentioned the word "happiness", Han Dong took the initiative to speak.

"She was engaged to another man!" Han Dong said and took a long puff of the cigarette, as if he wanted to use the nicotine in the cigarette to dispel the boredom in his heart.

"Damn, you're so good. I thought you were cheated on by someone else. After all the fuss, it turns out you were the one who cheated on someone else!" Li Quan really admired this good brother so much that he chose a married woman as his first love.

No wonder I succeeded on the first day.

"Fuck you, whoever dares to cheat on me will be killed." Han Dong cursed angrily. "Her hometown is deep in the remote mountains, and it is very poor and backward. Her parents gave birth to a lot of children, a total of five girls, and only the youngest one is a boy."

In many remote rural areas, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is still very serious.

It’s not entirely that people in rural areas are ignorant, but that the rural atmosphere is just like that.

If a family does not have a boy, they will be looked down upon by the whole village and even bullied.

"My girlfriend's parents favored boys over girls, and the family was financially strapped, so they betrothed her to someone else very early in life according to local customs. This is what people often call a baby marriage."

When Han Dong talked about this matter, he was full of helplessness, but also a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal.

In this day and age, in cities or slightly more developed towns and villages, arranged marriages such as baby marriages have long disappeared because they are illegal.

However, in some remote mountain villages, where information is scarce and the country is far away, such things could really happen.

In particular, some parents feel that having too many daughters means that girls are useless, so it is better to marry them off early so that they can earn some money from the bride price.

"Arranged marriages are illegal. Why don't you report it directly to the Women's Federation or other departments?" Li Quan gave Han Dong some advice.

"I have thought about doing this, but it is very likely to send Juanzi's parents to prison, and then her family will definitely not agree to let their daughter marry me again. Even if Juanzi marries me despite her parents' opposition and breaks with her family, it will be difficult for her to be happy in the future. I don't want her to be abandoned by everyone."

Han Dong's words were filled with love for his girlfriend.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Li Quan is a good man who is loyal to his feelings, and Han Dong is his good buddy. They have similar interests. Han Dong's character is naturally not bad.

Like Li Quan? Han Dong is also a lovesick man.

"Then has your girlfriend got a marriage certificate with that guy?" Li Quan decided to help Han Dong think of a solution.

If it really doesn't work? Then he can just be the bad guy.

Even if Juanzi's family wanted to hate someone, they would hate Li Quan.

It has nothing to do with Han Dong.

Of course, when doing this, we must plan it carefully with Han Dong? Get rid of Han Dong. Don't let Han Dong get involved.

"We haven't gotten married yet. But you know the customs in the countryside. The man's family has already paid a gift to the woman's family, and asked the village elders to be witnesses. We had a meal together."

Han Dong shook his head.

"There's nothing to be afraid of if we don't have a marriage certificate. Just ask the woman to return the gift. At most you'll have to pay some money as compensation." When Li Quan heard that Juanzi didn't get a marriage certificate with the man with whom she had an arranged marriage, he felt much more relaxed.

What if you get a marriage certificate? This will be much more difficult.

Han Dong is with Juanzi? He may even be sued by her. Bigamy is no joke. He can be arrested and sent to jail.

"If paying some money could solve the problem, do you think I would still sit here and smoke in silence?"

Han Dong sighed.

"The man who was engaged to Juanzi as a child was a 37-year-old young man. He was idle, gambled and played cards. He was a well-known rogue in the local area. Before I met Juanzi, the man came to the city many times to harass her. Every time he asked her to give him money. If Juanzi didn't agree, he threatened to kill her and her family."

"Do you know how I met Juanzi? That afternoon I drank your slimming tea and it worked very well. I gained some confidence and went out to look for a job. But by six in the afternoon I still hadn't found a job. I was upset so I went to the river to relax. Then I saw a girl sitting on the railing by the river, staring at the river view."

"You know, I'm single, so I naturally pay special attention to girls who don't have boyfriends."

Han Dong smiled somewhat embarrassedly when he said this.

In fact, every single man likes to pay attention to single girls.

Actively courting is the instinct of all male animals.

"I observed that girl for a long time and found that she had been sitting on the guardrail blankly. Even when night fell and the river wind was cold, she didn't notice it at all. It was as if she was a stone sculpture.

When I got closer, I found that there were traces of tears on her face.

At that time, I guessed that this girl must have met with trouble. It would be such a pity if such a beautiful young girl committed suicide.

So I took the initiative to talk to her.

She ignored me at first.

Later, I stopped talking and just sat there with her.

I even thought about it: as long as she made the move to jump into the river, I would jump in immediately to save her.

For this purpose, I took out my cell phone and wallet and placed them on the marble railing next to me.

Just like that, it was getting darker and darker.

The wind by the river was getting stronger and stronger, and the evening was particularly cold.

I saw that girl shivering.

Out of kindness, I took off my coat and handed it to her, saying that it was cold and I was fat and not afraid of the cold, so I asked her to put on my coat.

She still ignored me.

Finally, I plucked up the courage and took the initiative to put my coat on her.

I thought she would be frightened and throw my clothes away.

Unexpectedly, she still had no reaction and just sat there like a stone sculpture.

I was secretly delighted.

The girl accepted my kindness, which meant that she was less wary of me and no longer regarded me as a bad person.

Later, I sat with her by the river for more than five hours.

I was frozen like a dog.

She suddenly stood up and stood directly on the railing. I was so scared that I rushed over and grabbed her.

Hey girl, you are so young, don’t be so pessimistic.

You have to think about your parents and relatives at home and think more positively.

Unexpectedly, when I mentioned her parents, she burst into tears.

She told me that her current depression was caused by her parents. She said that life was tiring and painful, and she would rather die.

Finally, with my care, she probably really wanted to find someone to talk to.

Tell me everything.

After my gradual persuasion, she finally gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide. Seeing that it was getting late, I was very worried about her safety, so I treated her to a quick meal and offered to escort her home.

She disagreed at first, but couldn't resist my persuasion and repeated assurances and agreed.

When I was sending her back to her place, a man rushed out, very fiercely. He was about to hit her. He also said, "Let's see where she can run this time," and called her a bitch.

I am a fat man, and I must be angry because others treat me like air.

So I wrestled with the man.

In the end, no one got the upper hand, and I beat the man away. But I was also injured.

The girl helped me up and asked me with concern if I wanted to go to the hospital. She also told me that the man who had been very vicious and forced her to ask for money was her childhood fiancé.

Going to the hospital costs money, and besides, I have thick skin and can withstand a lot of beatings.

I said no, and the girl helped me into the room she rented. What happened next, hehe... was a bit dirty, you can imagine it yourself."

The story Han Dong told was very long, and it gave a brief account of how he and Juanzi met.

Li Quan finally understood that Juanzi's fiancé was a lazy guy who treated Juanzi as an ATM.

Whenever he ran out of money, he would force her to give him money.

"Dongzi, I really didn't realize it. You usually look pure and honest. I didn't expect you to be dishonest at all. You slept with the girl the first time you met her. Awesome!"

Li Quan really admires him.

Anyway, he is definitely not that awesome.

Up to now, I have only hugged and kissed Sophie, and haven't done anything else.

"Alas, the result of a moment of happiness is now a lot of trouble. Juanzi is pregnant, she wants to give birth to the child, and she wants to use the child in her belly to force her parents to compromise. She wants to break up with her fiancé and marry me. Recently, her fiancé has been making trouble every few days, but I am by her side, so I am not afraid."

"I just want to cancel the engagement, but there's no way that man will agree to it. This morning I stopped him and mentioned this matter, and he asked for 10 million. And judging from his expression, even if I really gave him 10 million, I'm afraid he would find all kinds of reasons to ask for money."

Han Dong said with a frown.

"Humph, he's just a gangster, why should I be afraid of him? Didn't he and Juanzi get a marriage certificate? You've already taken the initiative and made Juanzi's affairs a done deal. Then go one step further and get the marriage certificate first. By then, even if he and Juanzi are engaged, what does it matter? I'll sue you in court if I can, and see who wins."

Li Quan usually looks gentle, but when he really encounters trouble, he is the kind of person who will not give in.

And the attack must be ruthless, accurate and steady.

By letting Han Dong and Juanzi get their marriage certificate first, they can gain the upper hand at the legal level.

Child marriage is not allowed by law.

If a fight really breaks out, I guarantee that man will be in big trouble.

"But the custom in the countryside is to hold the wedding first and then get the marriage certificate! Will her family agree by then?" Han Dong was still a little hesitant.

"Dongzi, if you are indecisive and afraid of everything, then you should prepare to have the baby aborted. Then, that scoundrel will take you back to the mountain village and abuse you every day."

Li Quan was really angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

Han Dong is good in every way, except that he sometimes has no opinions of his own and lacks the courage of a man.

Especially when it comes to emotional matters, he is simply not like a man.

"Okay then. I'll listen to you and get the certificate with Juanzi first." When Han Dong heard Li Quan's serious tone, he knew that this idea proposed by Li Quan was the best one.

If that scoundrel really threatened Juanzi's parents and forcibly took Juanzi home to get married, then Han Dong would be the one crying.

"Just listen to me. If you and I, brothers, join forces and can't even deal with a rogue man, then we've lived in vain." A sharp cold light flashed in Li Quan's eyes.

A man can be honest and dutiful, but he must never be cowardly and incompetent.

If you are not ruthless when you should, then your wife and children will be bullied.

Even in the news, there are cowardly husbands who watched their wives being bullied by a gangster from the joint defense team for several hours, but they only dared to shrink in the corner like a dog. That is really unworthy of being a man.

"By the way, that rogue man knows where Juanzi lives. Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of the situation and break in at night and force himself on Juanzi?" Li Quan reminded.

"Do I need you to remind me? I've been on guard against that bastard for a long time. Juanzi is working the night shift today and won't get off work until around four in the morning. She is absolutely safe in the factory. When the time comes, I will definitely pick her up after get off work."

Han Dong rolled his eyes and put out the half-smoked cigarette.

Now that Li Quan has helped him make up his mind, his troubles have been resolved, so naturally he will no longer rely on cigarettes to relieve his sorrow.

"It seems that you are not stupid, but you are not ruthless enough sometimes. Haven't you heard the saying that a man cannot stand firm without being ruthless? Next time you meet that rogue man, don't argue with him, just beat him up first. Of course, you must have the upper hand in the legal aspect. For example, self-defense, beating up the robber who broke into the house... I don't think I need to teach you the details!"

Li Quan said with a smile.

"Why do I feel a chill down my spine when I listen to this? Anyone who becomes your enemy will probably be unable to sleep or eat well and will die a miserable death!" Han Dong received the advice from Li Quan, but he did not say a word of thanks and instead said a few insults to him.

This is what a true good friend is.

That kind of politeness, where you praise me and I praise you, is not friendship, it's courtesy.

On the contrary, people like them can say whatever they want to say without any taboos, which makes them more straightforward and honest. This is also a manifestation of deep friendship.

After Li Quan gave Han Dong some advice, he quickly took a shower and went to bed.

I was tired from giving Sophie acupuncture all day and was already sleepy.

…

The next morning, when Li Quan got up, Han Dong was nowhere to be seen.

I guess he went to pick up his girlfriend from get off work in the middle of the night and then stayed at Juanzi's place.

I really envy Han Dong's good fortune.

If you can sleep with your girlfriend every day without getting married, you must be so happy.

Before Li Quan had time to brush his teeth and wash his face, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was He Youlong calling.

Answer it quickly.

"Brother He, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?"

"Didn't you ask me to help those foreign experts with the formalities for coming to your country a few days ago? You will be at Dongcheng International Airport to pick them up at 9:25 this morning. Hurry and get ready."

He Youlong told Li Quan a great piece of news.

The group of American experts finally arrived.

"You're here so soon? That's great! Thank you, Brother He!"

Li Quan knew that Aixen and others were able to complete all the formalities and book air tickets in such a short time because of He Youlong's great assistance behind the scenes.

"Don't be polite with me. Aixen specifically told me that he only recognized you, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to notify you and would have gone directly to pick you up and sent you to the Wheeler Hospital to meet you."

He Youlong said somewhat helplessly.

The person was invited by Li Quan. A big shot of Aixen's level cannot be invited just by having money and power.

He brought his team and traveled thousands of miles across the ocean just to exchange the magical Chinese medicine skills with Li Quan.

Aixen may know the national conditions of China. Many people worship foreign things and are particularly enthusiastic about foreign experts. In order to prevent irrelevant people from taking him to a hospital or pharmaceutical company for advertising, he only recognized Li Quan.
