I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

Lin Jie went downstairs, drove up to Han Dan, and Han Dan walked ahead in a huff. Lin Jie's temper flared up, he stopped the car, got out, and grabbed Han Dan: "What's wrong with you? If you want to leave, leave by yourself. Put Hao Hao in the car."

After saying that, she tried to snatch the child. Han Dan held him tightly, and with each pull and tug, eight-month-old Hao Hao burst into tears.

"What are you doing? You're hurting the child!" Han Dan shouted angrily.

"What am I doing? What are you doing? Who are you giving me that look?"

Ignoring everything else, Lin Jie pushed the mother and son into the car and slammed the door shut.

The child cried, Han Dan sobbed, and Lin Jie, who only had one hand, was already driving illegally and had been drinking. The jeep wobbled forward in the snow.

"You've given your whole family attitude over something as trivial as a pound of meat ration coupons. Han Dan, you're becoming more and more lawless."

Lin Jie's eyes were filled with barely suppressed rage, like a balloon about to burst.

"Yes, a pound of meat coupons is a small matter. Today it's a pound of meat coupons, tomorrow a pound of egg coupons, and the day after tomorrow we'll have to ask for money. Whatever Mom and Dad want, I'm willing to give them; that's filial piety. Shouldn't we also be filial to your younger brother?"

When Hao Hao turned one month old, your sister-in-law didn't buy him a single gift. She could have at least made him a little outfit, right? She looks down on me from the bottom of her heart, and now that she sees we're doing well, she's deliberately pretending to be poor…”

Han Dan felt very wronged and poured out her heart, saying a lot of things.

Hao Hao was a month old? When Hao Hao was a month old, Li Hongxia was still at home recovering from childbirth. Her body was damaged from giving birth, and she couldn't get out of bed at all.

Lin Jie scratched his head in frustration. He knew that no one in the whole world loved this child more than his younger brother and sister-in-law, but he couldn't say that.

"If you're not going to give it to me, then don't. You don't have to give me attitude during the New Year."

"Li Hongxia is just jealous because my son is so chubby and fair-skinned. She wants to steal my son away as a hostage. No way!" Han Dan protected her son like a chick.

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't."

In any other day, Lin Jie would have already punched him, but this child was Li Hongxia's son, and she would never be jealous. Han Dan was just overthinking things.

Staggering, the effects of the alcohol kicked in, and as they approached the chemical plant's residential area, Lin Jie felt dizzy and his car collided with a pedestrian riding a bicycle.

"Ah, stop the car, stop the car!"

Han Dan screamed in fright. Lin Jie was startled and sobered up. He slammed on the brakes. "Oh no, oh no, I'm not going to kill someone!"

I got out of the car to check, and thankfully, the pedestrian had fallen into a snowdrift by the roadside, and the bicycle was flattened.

"How do you drive? Are you blind?" the woman in the snow yelled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, comrade, I... I'll make up for it."

Lin Jie's legs went weak; he had never been this afraid, not even when he was on the battlefield.

"You, you've been drinking? We're going to the police station. Driving under the influence is illegal."

The woman got up from the snow and tried to pull Lin Jie up, but she only managed to grab an empty sleeve.

"You, you don't have hands?" The woman looked at Lin Jie in confusion.

"No, there's a hand, there's a hand." Lin Jie timidly stretched out his right hand.

"Fine, you drank and drove, drove with one hand on the wheel, who gave you permission to drive? Do you even have any sense of the law? Come on, let's go to the police station. A person as immoral as you should be sentenced."

The woman grabbed the empty sleeve and tried to pull them towards the police station. Han Dan, holding her child, quickly stopped the woman, stammering, "Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. My son is sick, and I'm in a hurry to get home."

Han Dan lied, and then, holding the child, the woman calmed down a bit: "The child is sick, so you can't drink and drive. If you crash into a tree, who can guarantee that you and the child won't be hurt? Also, you can't drive with one hand."

"Yes, yes, my husband had hands, but he lost one on the battlefield. Girl, you should go to the hospital for a checkup. We'll compensate you for the bicycle," Han Dan said mournfully, always adept at playing the victim.

"You, you're a hero?" The woman released her grip.

"It's my fault, young lady. Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up."

Lin Jie would feel inexplicably inferior whenever he was associated with heroes.

"I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm fine. It's just my bicycle..."

"I'll buy you another one."

"Do you think you can just pay for a bicycle like that? You can't buy one even if you have the money. Here's what I'll do: I'll go get it repaired first, but you'll have to pay for the repairs."

Buying a bicycle costs 80 yuan, and you also need a bicycle ticket. People would fight tooth and nail for a ticket. How easy is it to buy one?

Since they are heroes who protect their country, they should just accept their bad luck.

"Young lady, here's some money for you. If it's not enough, I'll send you more in a couple of days. By the way, what's your name, and where do you live?"

Lin Jie took out eight yuan and thirty cents from his pocket and handed it to the woman.

"Where do you live? If I don't have enough money, or if it can't be fixed, I'll still have to come to you," the woman asked, accepting the money without hesitation.

"I live near the chemical plant. I work in the security department. My name is Lin Jie. If you can't fix it, I'll find a way to buy you a bicycle," Lin Jie promised.

"Alright, but it's my bicycle. How am I going to get it back? It's only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the repair shops aren't open yet," the woman said, frowning.

Lin Jie quickly said, "I'll take you home."

"What about the older sister and her child?"

"You go ahead, I only have a few steps left." Han Dan was very happy to see the woman's open-mindedness. If the bicycle could be repaired, it would save him several tens of yuan.

"Alright then, I live near No. 2 Primary School. You can take my car back first." Lin Jie put the dented car in the trunk, and the woman got into the passenger seat.

Once back on the road, the effects of the alcohol had worn off, and I drove much more smoothly.

The woman stared intently ahead, and when a passerby appeared, she anxiously called out, "Slow down, slow down..."

"Hey, there's someone riding a bike ahead, slow down..."

"It's slippery, the road is slippery, I'm too close to the edge..."

The woman shouted eight hundred times over the short two-mile stretch, which nearly triggered Lin Jie's heart condition.

Upon arriving at the school dormitory, Lin Jie took the bicycle off with one hand, and the woman said, "Just put it in the hallway on the first floor."

Still worried, he added, "Comrade Lin, I still have a few words to say. Driving with only one hand is really too dangerous. For the sake of your wife and children, you must be careful."

"Yes, we won't open it anymore."

"Alright, you can go back now."

"Could you please tell me your name? I have to take full responsibility for this." Lin Jie was as nervous as a female student.

"My name is Zhang Man, I live in 505, and I'm a second-grade homeroom teacher. If the bicycle can be fixed, we'll be even. If it can't be fixed, I'll come looking for you."

"Yes, Teacher Zhang."

"Alright, it's snowing heavily, let's go back now."

"Teacher Zhang, do you live in a single dormitory?"

"What's wrong with single dorms?"

"The single dormitory room is cold without a coal stove, isn't it? How about I bring you one?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but no need."

Zhang Man flatly refused, ignored Lin Jie, locked the broken bicycle, and went upstairs.

Lin Jie watched Zhang Man's retreating figure and smiled inexplicably. This girl, though formidable, was also reasonable.
