Before they knew it, it was Jiang Yuzhen's wedding day. Xie Jianing and Ye Zhaozhao packed their things and went to attend the wedding.

Jiang Yuzhen's home is in a village next to the military region. When they arrived, they saw that Jiang Yuzhen had already put on makeup.

The makeup was really hard to look at, but it was the standard wedding makeup for this era.

"Xiao Xie, Xiao Ye, come here."

Tang Yi called them over, and the two of them went over. The table was filled with teachers from their school, and Tang Yi was gossiping with another female teacher.

"Did you know? I heard that the man originally didn't like Jiang Yuzhen."

"You didn't like her?"

"Yes, it was Jiang Yuzhen who took a liking to him first, and then she asked her parents to speak on her behalf."

"Jiang Yuzhen didn't even ask for a bride price in order to marry someone from the county town."

The crowd disapproved of Jiang Yuzhen's actions, thinking that it was a bit too forward to rush into marriage before even being married.

"I heard that the groom's family came empty-handed on their first visit to the house, without bringing anything."

"When it comes to marriage, you should marry someone who loves you. I think Jiang Yuzhen's life is probably not going to be easy."

They whispered a few words and then stopped talking, out of respect for Principal Jiang.

By noon, the man still hadn't come to pick her up, and Jiang Yuzhen was starting to get anxious.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, the man arrived on his bicycle. Jiang Yuzhen pulled him over to offer a toast, and after he finished, Tang Yi said something else.

"I thought it would be a hot commodity, but it's just like this. Jiang Yuzhen has an amazing eye for talent."

The man was a little over 1.6 meters tall and not particularly good-looking, but Jiang Yuzhen still thought he was the best man she had found and kept showing him off.

After lunch, Xie Jianing and Ye Zhaozhao walked towards the family compound. They would rest for a while at noon because they had to go back to school for classes in the afternoon.

When Ye Zhaozhao arrived, she found that a new teacher had come to the office. Jiang Yuzhen had married and moved to the county town and could not come back to teach, so Principal Jiang had to find another educated youth.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yunyang. We will be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me."

Everyone greeted him warmly. After Jiang Yunyang introduced himself, he went to class. Tang Yi couldn't control her gossipy heart again.

"This young man is good-looking, much better looking than Jiang Yuzhen's husband."

"Xiao Jiang, you're also a sent-down youth. Do you know Jiang, the sent-down youth?"

Jiang Tong nodded. They weren't from the same village, but when they went to the countryside, they always took the same bus. Jiang Yunyang had even helped her with her luggage.

Jiang Tong thought she wouldn't have a chance to see him again, but she didn't expect him to become a teacher. Jiang Tong was a little happy. Judging from her expression, she probably had feelings for Jiang Yunyang, but she didn't say anything to anyone.

After school, Ye Zhaozhao planned to make some egg noodles. She hadn't had noodles for several days and was craving them. Just as she finished cooking the noodles, Gu Yunduan returned.

"Gu Yunduan, wash your hands and eat."

"good."

During dinner, Gu Yunduan told him that Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen had already gone back, and that he shouldn't worry. Ye Zhaozhao knew that Gu Yunduan must have done this.

"Gu Yunduan, thank you."

"Wife, don't be so polite with me."

After dinner, Gu Yunduan took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Ye Zhaozhao brought out a thick quilt. The weather was getting colder every day, and she was now wearing a sweater.

"Honey, I'm going on a mission tomorrow."

"So suddenly? How long will it take?"

"I don't know yet."

Ye Zhaozhao knew that this was their mission, and she only needed to do what she was supposed to do. Although she had gotten used to it, the two of them were reluctant to part every time it came to the time of separation.

The next morning, Ye Zhaozhao got up early to make pancakes for Gu Yunduan. She made more than a dozen pancakes for him to take with him on the road, and the pills she had just made could be tried.

"Gu Yunduan, these are pills I made myself. Just in case, please take them with you."

Gu Yunduan knew that Ye Zhaozhao knew medicine, so he took her with him since his wife asked him to. After seeing Gu Yunduan out the door, Ye Zhaozhao was just about to leave.

I heard a commotion coming from Sun Xiuhua's house next door. I went out and ran into Sun Xiuhua. In just a few days, she seemed like a completely different person.

With her hair disheveled and clothes dirty, Ye Zhaozhao might not even recognize her from a distance if she didn't speak.

"Sister-in-law Sun, what's wrong with you?"

“Zhaozhao, my mother-in-law is here. Zhou Dawu’s younger brother is getting married, and she’s here to ask for money. I didn’t give it to her, so she’s refusing to leave.”

Ye Zhaozhao had heard Sun Xiuhua talk about her mother-in-law. She said that Sun Xiuhua sent money back home every month, which was already very kind of her. She didn't expect that the old woman was still not satisfied.

"Where the hell have you been? Come back and cook! Are you trying to starve me to death?"

Before Sun Xiuhua could complain to Ye Zhaozhao, the old woman started cursing again, so Sun Xiuhua quickly went back home.

Ever since Sun Xiuhua's mother-in-law arrived, there has been no peace in the residential compound. Every day, this old woman goes out and complains about how her son and daughter-in-law are unfilial. Everyone is tired of hearing it and is afraid that she will come knocking on their door.

Zhou Dawu was also being tormented to the point of exhaustion. One day, Liu Guanjun came to him and asked if he could do something about his mother.

Liu Erfeng was pregnant, but she insisted on telling me that she was having a daughter.

As a result, Liu Erfeng didn't eat for two days. As soon as Zhou Dawu got home, he told the old lady about it.

"I'll buy you a train ticket tomorrow, so you can pack your things and go home."

"Okay, I'll go home if you want, but you'll have to give two hundred yuan for your brother's wedding."

Zhou Dawu sent five yuan home every month. At that time, five yuan could buy five jin of pork, which was enough for her to live on.

"As you can see, we don't have any money at home. If you keep making a fuss, I won't send you any more money."
