Chapter 264 A Woman with a Family

After Lu Yujing spoke, Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu naturally didn't dare to say anything else.

"Yujing, this is too expensive for you." Jian Zhongkang felt a little uneasy.

"Uncle, what's the big deal about this? If it weren't for my brother, I still wouldn't be able to get married!" Lu Yujing smiled and took his young wife's hand.

The groomsmen, who had goosebumps all over their bodies, said: "..."

What kind of magic potion did sister-in-law feed their political commissar?

Their political commissar was completely confused.

Not to mention the groomsmen's doubts, even Jian Yiwei felt so.

His brother-in-law, the political commissar, didn't have such a good temper before.

At the gate of the courtyard, Ji's aunts and uncles were winking at Ji Lei's mother.

"Your sister-in-law is so lucky. She married a daughter-in-law and gave her a house as a dowry."

"Yes! Your Ji Lei is also a lucky man. He has become a city dweller in an instant. From now on, you can just wait to enjoy the good life!"

"What happiness do you have to enjoy? My son has grown up, and I have to take care of my grandson. You can enjoy your life when you close your eyes one day." Ji Lei's mother said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said. Your Ji Lei's allowance is several dozen yuan a month, right? Add in your daughter-in-law's allowance, and it's at least a hundred yuan a month. That's one or two thousand yuan a year. Oh, that's going to take years to save. My sister-in-law, you're a millionaire here!"

The smile on Ji Lei's mother's face became even brighter.

"So, when looking for a daughter-in-law, you have to find one with good conditions. If you find one who is penniless, it will only be a nuisance..." The person who spoke had a look of disgust on his face.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that your daughter-in-law's second uncle is the deputy director of the candy factory?" A woman in a floral dress came up to Ji Lei's mother.

Ji Lei's mother glanced at the woman in the floral dress and nodded with a smile.

"Yes! Let me tell you, don't underestimate my daughter-in-law's second uncle, who is only a deputy factory director. He is so powerful that even the factory director's wife has to send him gifts."

While speaking, Ji Lei's mother also glanced in the direction of Jian Zhongliang.

The woman in the floral dress also followed Ji Lei's gaze, but she quickly looked away.

She also slightly turned her body, as if she was afraid that someone would see her.

"Why don't I see her second uncle's wife?" the woman asked casually.

"Her second uncle's wife died a long time ago, so where would she get a wife from?" Ji Lei's mother lowered her voice.

Li Meiqian's existence is a shame to the Jian family. When others mention Jian Zhongliang's wife, Jian Liqiu and the Jian family just say that she is gone.

So Ji Lei's mother only knew that Jian Zhongliang's wife was gone.

"Doesn't her second uncle have a daughter? Why can't I see her?" the woman asked casually.

"Her second uncle's daughter is amazing. Do you know who her second uncle's daughter's parents-in-law are?" Ji Lei's mother said mysteriously.

"Who is it?" Everyone's curiosity was aroused.

The woman looked at Ji Lei's mother eagerly, waiting for her answer.

Ji Lei's mother bent down slightly and moved closer to the crowd.

This time, everyone pricked up their ears.

The woman breathed even more gently, fearing that she might miss something.

Ji Lei's mother muttered something in a low voice, causing the gossipy women to gasp.

Amidst everyone's gasps, the woman's peach blossom eyes lit up again and again.

"Your Ji Lei has truly married into a wealthy family." Someone sighed.

"Sister-in-law, just wait for the delicious food and spicy drinks!"

"Aunt, when Ji Lei becomes successful in the future, you must take good care of his cousins!"

"Yes! Auntie, you have to ask Ji Lei to help his little cousin more in the future!"

…

Another round of compliments.

Ji Lei's mother smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

The woman seemed to have no interest in their topic and turned away.

"Who is that woman?" someone asked.

"The people in the yard in front just moved in not long ago. I heard that the man there committed a crime and went to jail, leaving a group of orphans and widows with nowhere to stay, so they rented the old house of the village chief." Ji Lei's mother nodded towards the small yard not far away.

"That woman looks pretty." A little old lady praised.

"Don't try to introduce someone to someone every time you meet them. Their husband is just in jail, not dead. Besides, that woman has a daughter and a boy with her. The boy will bankrupt me." Ji Lei's mother said hurriedly.

"The key point is that the woman looks quite old, and I don't know if she can still have children." A middle-aged woman next to her curled her lips.

"That's right! Finding a woman of her age who can't even have children and asking her to raise her daughter and son is something only a fool would do!"

Several people were talking excitedly.

"Ji Lei's mother, where are your dried chilies?" someone shouted from the direction of the kitchen.

"I'll get it for you." Ji Lei's mother went in happily.

With a lot of help, the food was on the table in no time.

Roast chicken with potatoes, twice-cooked pork, braised pork with preserved vegetables, cold-mixed pork head...

Although there is not much meat on the plate, there is some meat in every dish.

Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those made by Wang Ma, they also look good.

After arguing with Jian Qingyi, and because Jian Zhongliang and Jian Zhongkang did not help her, Jian Zhonglan now hated Jian Zhongliang, Jian Zhongkang, and Wang Xiujuan.

When the table was served, she took He Xiaoyue directly to the table next door.

When he went there, he also took Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao away.

Jian Zhonglan's action made Jian Qingyi laugh.

Did she think that if she dragged Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao away, they would not be able to eat?!

"Wife, eat more." Lu Yujing picked some vegetables and put them into his wife's bowl.

As for the chicken nuggets full of bones and the unattractive shredded meat chunks in the bowl, Lu Yujing simply passed by them.

It’s no wonder Lu Yujing is picky. When Wang Ma buys vegetables, she always picks the best ones, and the chickens, ducks, fish and meat are also the best in appearance.

Even if there were bones with only skin left, Wang Ma would pick them out and eat them herself.

At the Lu family, the shredded meat and meat chunks that can be served on the table are all very appetizing.

"Political Commissar, haven't you drunk any wine?" Jian Liqiu and Ji Lei came over to toast, only to find that the glass in front of Lu Yujing was empty.

"I'm going back to the military area soon, so I won't drink." Lu Yujing gestured for them to toast others.

"Okay, Political Commissar, then you should eat more vegetables." Lu Yujing didn't want to drink, so Ji Lei naturally didn't dare to persuade him.

Although the Ji family did not have many relatives, together with the neighbors and relatives of the Wang and Jian families, there were about twenty tables.

After the rounds of toasts, half an hour had passed.

Jian Liqiu was a shy person to begin with, and the blush on her face never faded when facing the stares of Ji's relatives and neighbors.

"Yi Yi, when are you and the political commissar going to do it?" Luo Zhenzhu nudged Jian Qingyi with her elbow.

"Next spring." Jian Qingyi thought for a moment.

It’s too hot in summer, and you’ll sweat a lot if you move.

It’s too cold in winter. How can I be a beautiful bride if I dress like a bear?!
