Three days later, Xu Ming came back early in the morning with things he bought for Su Ning.

Although it is my second marriage, I still have to have what I need. I have the salary in my pocket, and I plan to give another 20 yuan as a betrothal gift. Although it is not much, it shows my thought and attitude.

Everyone in the family was very busy today, preparing everything needed for tomorrow. Since it was my second marriage, I didn't invite anyone to dinner, but I told Xu Yan's uncle in advance to come over for dinner tomorrow.

"Xu Ming, when you go to pick up your bride tomorrow, you can ride Xu Yan's bicycle. Go early and come back early. Your uncle and aunt will come tomorrow.

I invited my family to dinner, so I won’t have a wedding banquet.”

Xu Ming: "Okay, I understand."

For some reason, he was still very nervous. Ever since he proposed marriage last time, he had never seen Su Ning in his dreams. But fortunately, everything was normal in the dream, otherwise he would not be able to see her.

At noon, Tang Yiyi and Xu Yan were called over for lunch. Tang Yiyi brought a set of lotion for Song Lianxiu.

Song Lianxiu refused to take it, but Tang Yiyi insisted: "Try it for a while. If your skin gets better, it will be a sign for me. I need to find more active signs so that I can sell it."

After hearing this, Song Lianxiu felt embarrassed to refuse anymore and accepted it: "I'll give you the money."

Tang Yiyi: "If you give me money, it would be really awkward."

Then he taught her how to use it: "It will take about a month for you to see the effect. Your skin is originally fair, but you have some stretch marks from giving birth. They will fade away in a month. Just keep using it and it will disappear."

"Okay, I'll try."

During lunch, Xu Ming talked about the betrothal gift.

"Mom, I'm going to give Su Ning some dowry, not much, just one month's salary. I'll give it to her whether she wants it or not." After she marries, she has to take care of her three children, which is very hard.

Liu Xiaofeng had no objection and nodded, saying, "Well, this is your wife, you should give her something. You can do whatever you want. As long as you bring her back, I don't care what you give her."

Then he turned to the two children and said, "Love your country and your people. Your dad is getting married tomorrow and has found a mother for you. You have to be obedient, okay?

Your mother is a very good person and will take good care of you in the future, okay?"

The two children also understood a little bit. After listening to Liu Xiaofeng's words, they glanced at Xu Ming. Xu Ming was also looking at the two children, wanting to see their reactions.

He had asked this question before, and both children nodded in agreement. He asked it again today, and he was still a little nervous.

"Well, we know. We will be obedient." Aiguo nodded. He was willing to believe it once. He longed for maternal love. He also hoped that he, Aiguo and Huanhuan could have a mother who loved Youyou and Niannian as much as Second Aunt did.

Even a stepmother.

"Good children, mom will definitely take good care of you in the future." Liu Xiaofeng touched Aiguo's head and said with heartache.

If it weren't for that selfish Zhou Zhaodi, how could these two children have never experienced maternal love at such a young age.

Speaking of Zhou Zhaodi, she didn't have a good time at her parents' home after her divorce. She had endless work to do all day long and was waiting for Erya to come back home. However, even after she had finished her confinement, Erya still hadn't returned.

She was so angry that she was arranged to go on a blind date by Zhang Yun. Today, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to the city and followed her memory to find Erya's house.

Looking at the familiar door, he walked forward and knocked.

After a while, the door opened from the inside. Zhou Zhaodi smiled and wanted to say hello, but she didn't know the person who opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" He looked at Zhou Zhaodi, who looked poor, and said with disgust.

"Oh, I'm here to look for Erya. I'm her sister from the same village. I came to see her. Isn't she at home?" Zhou Zhaodi apologized with a smile, took a step forward, and kept looking into the door.

"So you're from the countryside. No wonder you smell like dirt. Just wait for me to call someone!" He closed the door again. Zhou Zhaodi was so frightened by the closed door that she stepped back.

The door, which was almost stuck to his face, spat: "Fuck you, what a thing! I'll show you some color when I get in. Do you think you're so important?"

After a while, Erya came out with a bruise on her cheek. When she saw Zhou Zhaodi, she turned half of her face to the side and said, "Sister Zhaodi, why are you here?"

Zhou Zhaodi got up from the ground when she heard the sound. Seeing Erya, she smiled and patted the dust off her butt. "It's because you haven't been home for a long time. I happened to be in the city for something, and Auntie asked me to come and see you. Why haven't you been back recently?"

Seeing that Erya's face was tilted slightly, she reached out and pulled it: "What's wrong with your face? Did your man hit you?"

Weren't we living well? Why did we get beaten?

"No, Sister Zhaodi, I fell accidentally. I've been busy at home lately and haven't had time to go back. My face was broken, so I didn't go back. I thought I'd go back after I've recovered.

What did my mother say?

"Oh, it's okay. My aunt asked me to come and see you. Everything else is fine." Zhou Zhaodi said with a smile, without any sense of lying.

"Um, who was that person who just opened the door? He's so awesome. Is he someone from your family?"

Erya didn't want to say much, but Zhou Zhaodi kept asking, so she said, "That's my sister-in-law. She came back to visit my mother-in-law today. Don't take what she says to heart.

It's okay, just go back, I won't ask you to come in for tea."

As she said this, she was about to close the door. She couldn't let her man see Zhou Zhaodi, otherwise he would say something bad if he saw her.

The injuries on her body were caused by her husband. In order to curry favor with others, her husband wanted to introduce her sister from her natal family to her husband's family. At first, Erya was quite happy, after all, her sister was old enough. Later, when she asked, she found out that the man was in his forties and his wife had died.

After hearing this, Erya was unwilling, and her husband beat her angrily, so she didn't dare to go back.

If he saw Zhou Zhaodi and brought up this matter, it would be the end of him.

My younger sister cannot marry a man in his forties.

"Oh, no, I'm tired. I'll go in and sit for a while." After saying that, he squeezed in without caring about Erya.

The yard was still the same yard as the last time, except that there were a few more people in the house than last time. When they saw Zhou Zhaodi come in, they all looked at her.

There was a look of disgust on everyone's face.

"How did you get in? Get out!" Erya's sister-in-law stood up and pointed at Zhou Zhaodi and cursed.

Zhou Zhaodi didn't know how to be a soft persimmon: "You are a married girl, but you still care about your parents' affairs. What gives you the right? Erya is the mistress of this family. Who do you think you are?

Let me tell you, what's wrong with the wound on Erya's face? If you don't explain it clearly today, I won't let you go!"

He found a ridiculous excuse and the whole family was stuck there.

Everyone looked at Erya, thinking that Zhou Zhaodi was the one she had asked to seek justice and revenge for her.

"Okay, Zhou Erya, you've become so bold, aren't you? You actually dared to complain. I'll beat you to death when my brother comes back!" The sister-in-law pinched her waist and pointed at Zhou Erya and scolded her.

Zhou Erya lowered her head and said nothing. Just as Zhou Zhaodi was about to yell back, she heard a noise at the door: "What's going on? Why are you making so much noise?"

Zhou Zhaodi looked over and found that this person was Erya’s man: Du Kang.
