Chapter 3: Eating shit is not as good as eating hot shit

Under the strong protection of her mother, a whole pot of chicken soup was brought to Chen Jintao's room.

Shen Jintao did not enjoy the meal alone, and called her parents and younger brother Shen Jidong to eat together.

While she was enjoying the food, Huo Beichuan, who had returned home, told his family the whole story.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Huo were stunned.

Liu Guifen patted her chest with lingering fear, "Fortunately, I found out before the marriage. It's not bad to marry Taozi. That Chunmiao girl also looked good before. How could she do such a vicious thing? If she gets married, won't she turn our family upside down?"

"None of the girls in their family are good. That Shen Jintao likes Lu Qingshan from the educated youth point. Everyone knows this. Why do you insist that my eldest brother marry someone from the Shen family?" younger sister Huo Nanxi shouted unhappily.

"This is what your grandfather decided, how can it be changed?" Liu Guifen also knew that Chen Jintao liked Lu Qingshan, but wasn't there anything she could do about it? "Since your sister Taozi has agreed to let you marry Big Brother, she will definitely not have anything to do with that Lu Qingshan, so don't make a fuss!"

Huo Nanxi was not convinced, "How can it be so easy to change your love for someone? If she can really change her mind so quickly, it means she is not a good person!"

"You little girl, do you know what love is? You are just talking nonsense there. If words like this get out, you won't know how you will get married in the future!" Liu Guifen patted her daughter on the back.

"Now that we have agreed on a solution, your mother and I should go to the Shen family." Huo's father, Huo Chenggong, said after a long silence, which meant he agreed to the marriage.

They acted quickly. Since they lived in the same production team, it only took a few minutes to make the trip. Soon, the two families had finalized the matter.

Chen Jintao had rested for two days and her body had gotten much better. Huo Beichuan came over and said, "Are you feeling better? If you are fine, I will take you to town to buy some things. The wedding is on August 15th, and you need to make some clothes."

Shen Jintao nodded, "I'm fine, let's go!"

"Wait!" Xu Xuemei stopped her daughter and stuffed twenty yuan into her hand. "Take the money with you. Don't let Beichuan spend all the money."

In fact, if she were to say, it is the man who should pay for the marriage, but who made Xu Xuemei feel guilty? Although this matter was not their daughter's fault, it was still inappropriate to ask her to change her marriage partner temporarily. They were afraid that Huo Beichuan would feel uncomfortable and treat their daughter badly after marriage.

Shen Jintao felt a little sour in her nose after taking the twenty yuan. In the dream, after she died, her mother and uncles destroyed their family in order to avenge her. Although she knew it might not be true, she still felt a dull pain in her heart. "Thank you, Mom!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go quickly, or you won't be able to eat shit as soon as it's hot."

Chen Jintao: ...

Huo Beichuan: ...

There was only one thought in the two people's minds: her mother/his mother-in-law, what a fierce one!

As soon as Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan left, Xu Xuemei's expression became less good. She glanced coldly at the people from the second room, picked up some things and went out.

Everyone in the Shen family felt a pang in their hearts, as they knew exactly what Xu Xuemei had been doing.

"This is all your fault!" Xie Lanzhi was also scared and poked Chen Chunmiao's forehead hard with her hand.

"What do they know? Huo Beichuan will be the youngest chief in the future. It will be a great blessing to marry him!" Shen Chunmiao said with his neck stiffened.

"Why have you been talking nonsense these past two days? If Huo Beichuan is really that powerful, why don't you marry him? Why are you trying to break off the engagement?"

Chen Chunmiao fell silent, and Xie Lanzhi had asked the point.

Didn’t she marry Huo Beichuan in her previous life?

Huo Beichuan was indeed capable. He made her an official wife that everyone envied, but she also remained a widow all her life.

On the other hand, although Chen Jintao was unable to give birth to a child, Lu Qingshan treated her like a treasure and gave her all the good things.

Although being a businessman does not sound as good as being a soldier, they are also truly wealthy.

Huo Beichuan was such a stubborn person. He made a big deal out of nothing just because she accepted some gifts.

She doesn't want to marry Huo Beichuan in this life. She wants to marry Lu Qingshan and become the owner of the largest hotel chain in the country.

Thinking of this, she went out again. It seemed that Lu Qingshan was quite pleased with his kindness towards her yesterday, so she had to seize the opportunity.

"Injustice!"

Old Master Shen cursed and went out with the enamel cup. He would rather walk around the fields than watch these bastards jumping around.

It had been an hour since Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan arrived at the county town. It took half an hour to get from the brigade to the town, and then they had to take a bus from the town to the county town. Shen Jintao's face looked very bad after the bumpy ride.

"Are you okay?"

Huo Beichuan asked with some concern.

"It's okay!" Shen Jintao waved her hand.

"I'm glad you're okay. Let's find a place to rest first. I'll buy you something to entertain you." Huo Beichuan still took him to the state-owned restaurant. Although it was still a little early to eat, it was still okay to order a bowl of sour soup.

After arranging Shen Jintao to sit down, Huo Beichuan showed his work ID to the staff.

If someone else came so early, and just for a bowl of sour soup, the staff of the state-owned restaurant would probably ignore them.

But the staff's attitude should not be too enthusiastic after seeing Huo Beichuan's work ID.

"Jintao, wait here for me. I'll go see if there are any oranges for sale."

Huo Beichuan said this and was about to leave.

Chen Jintao quickly stopped the man, "It's not that exaggerated, you don't have to do this!"

"Hey! Comrade, are you carsick? I have an orange here, I'll give you one!"

The girl in charge of collecting money at the state-owned restaurant took out an orange from the cabinet at her feet. The skin was green and, to be honest, it looked very sour.

But of course Chen Jintao recognized it. Although this orange didn’t look sweet, it tasted really sweet.

And in this era, fruits are very rare.

"Comrade, may I ask how much it costs? I can buy it with money, but I absolutely cannot take a single needle or thread from the masses."

Huo Beichuan said seriously.

The girl was a little embarrassed. "It's not worth much. Just take it. I see your partner's face is pale. Hey, you guys are defending the country... We can't help much. It's our duty to lend a hand when we meet military wives."

The little girl's words were sincere. In this era, soldiers and their families are supported and treated preferentially.

Even though the little girl said so, Huo Beichuan still stubbornly gave her fifty cents as the payment for the orange, leaving the little girl at a loss as to what to do.
