Although Tang's mother said she disliked Zhan Zeye, she still packed up a lot of good things from the house, especially clothes for Tang Qiyue, which were all designed by Tang's mother herself.
When all the things were stuffed into the car, Tang's mother still complained that the car was too small and many of the things she had prepared could not fit in.
Tang Qiuyue hurriedly stopped her mother. If she continued with this attitude, the whole house would be stuck in a traffic jam.
"You're leaving tomorrow, so I won't see you off. Just write me a letter when you get there!"
Tang's mother looked at the time and knew that she could not continue to force her daughter to stay, after all, she had to leave before sunset.
Tang Xiuyuan held the box in his hand and was about to give it to Tang Qiyue. Tang Qiyue was afraid that Tang's mother would find out something was wrong, so she quickly held Tang Xiuyuan down and said, "If you sell me out, I won't recognize you as my brother!"
There was no other way, so Tang Xiuyuan had to take the small box back. Since he couldn't send the things back, Tang Xiuyuan pulled Zhan Zeye aside and said, "Since my sister has recognized you, I have to make a statement. If you dare to bully my sister, even if you are a soldier, I will risk my life to send you to the military court!"
Although Tang Xiuyuan is young, he is not stupid.
Zhan Zeye patted Tang Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, you should study hard. Your sister has paid a lot for your safe study. If you can't study well, you will only let your sister down!"
At this time, Zhan Zeye didn't dare to tell Tang Qiyue about donating her dowry, for fear that Tang Xiuyuan would go crazy, so he could only give a subtle reminder.
Tang Xiuyuan wanted to ask more, but was urged by his mother.
Tang's mother and Tang Xiuyuan watched the car disappear into the alley. Tang Xiuyuan wiped his tears and said, "Mom, do you think it will be safe for me to marry him?"
No matter how Tang Xiuyuan resisted before, he knew very well that it would be safer for Tang Qiyue to marry Zhan Zeye than to stay, at least Zhan Zeye was a soldier.
"He said he would live a good life with your sister and let her follow him to the army. That's enough!"
If she can follow the army, she will not be implicated in the messy affairs of her mother's family. As long as Zhan Zeye protects Tang Qiyue, danger will not find her.
The mother and daughter returned to the house and closed the door. Seeing the house was now much emptier, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They gave all the valuables to Tang Qiyue and were not afraid of the rest being seen by others.
Not to mention what Tang's mother and Tang Xiuyuan thought, Tang Qiyue in the car kept looking at Zhan Zeye. He leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes and let Tang Qiyue look.
Maybe Tang Qiyue’s gaze was too direct, and it was difficult for Zhan Zeye to ignore it, so he could only open his eyes and look back at her.
"If you have anything to say, just ask!"
This sentence served as an introduction, prompting Tang Qiyue to speak: "Do you usually speak so freely?"
Zhan Zeye raised his eyebrows, but before he could answer, Chen Dazhuang in front of him couldn't help laughing.
"Sister-in-law, you noticed it too?"
Chen Dazhuang had been holding it in for a long time. One day, listening to Zhan Zeye talking nonsense, Chen Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed. This guy was like this in the army on weekdays, and everyone was used to it. Why would he be like this when meeting his mother-in-law?
Perhaps Chen Dazhuang wanted to complain too much, so he ignored Zhan Zeye's warning of kicking the chair and continued, "Don't look at our brother Zhan with a sincere and upright face, but he likes to talk nonsense the most. He suffered a lot because of this matter, and this injury is also the case!"
Before Chen Dazhuang could finish speaking, Zhan Zeye told him to shut up.
In the end, Chen Dazhuang still took Zhan Zeye's face into consideration and chose to keep quiet, but his whole body was protesting, and he was almost telling Tang Qiyue directly that Zhan Zeye was unreliable.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just following their lead!"
Zhan Zeye rarely explained himself, probably because of the dowry donated by Tang Qiuyue.
Tang Qiyue gave him a forced smile, clearly indicating that she didn't believe him.
When they returned to the Zhan family, the sun was about to set. Zhan's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them come back. Although she didn't pay much attention to those customs, she still cared about them to some extent.
When Chen Dazhuang took the return gifts prepared by Tang's mother and father from the car, Zhan's mother twitched her face. She knew that the Tang family was rich, but they didn't care about the Zhan family's face. Were these return gifts a slap in her face?
Fortunately, Tang Qiyue had already thought of this and took Zhan's mother's arm to explain.
"Mother, only part of this is a return gift. The rest is the dowry my mother gave me. I got married in a hurry before, and she was not at home. She just came back today!"
With Tang Qiyue's explanation, the expression on Zhan's mother's face looked much better. Putting herself in her shoes, she could understand Tang's mother. If any mother experienced this kind of thing and did not come to the door to fight, it would mean she had good self-control.
"Then why don't you stay and spend more time with your mother? Even one day won't hurt!"
After saying this, Zhan's mother slapped her head, and then she remembered that her son said he would leave the next day.
"I forgot. You and Xiaoye are going back to the army tomorrow, so there's really no way we can stay overnight. It's just right that you're back. Go see what I prepared for you!"
Zhan's mother took Tang Qiyue to see some things, while Zhan Zeye asked Chen Dazhuang to send the car back and waited until midnight to pick up the things to deal with.
Chen Dazhuang was waiting for this sentence and drove away excitedly.
Before entering the house, Brother Zhan asked Zhan Zeye to go out for a walk.
There are people at home, it’s definitely not safe to say anything.
As soon as the two brothers went out, elder brother Zhan handed Zhan Zeye an oil-paper bag.
"What's this?"
Zhan Zeye opened it curiously and saw money in the oil paper package.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
When Zhan Zeye saw that the bag was full of money, he hurriedly stuffed it back into his elder brother's arms, but his elder brother Zhan stuffed the oil-paper bag back into Zhan Zeye's pocket.
He held Zhan Zeye's hand and said, "Take it if I give it to you. Even though we've split up, I'm still your big brother!"
Zhan Zeye did not refuse anymore. He knew that his elder brother was an honest man and didn't like to talk much, but once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to change his mind.
The two brothers have very similar personalities at times.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't know about this money. It's the money I exchanged for the things you sent back when you were in the army!"
Brother Zhan looked at his younger brother who was now half a head taller than him. His younger brother, who was about the same size as him back then, climbed onto the train to join the army regardless of his life in order to save food. He has felt guilty all these years. Later, Zhan Zeye sent back money and things one after another. The family spent all the money, but Brother Zhan did not tell Mother Zhan about the things, but hid them secretly.
A few years ago, the situation stabilized, and he also wanted to save some money for Zhan Zeye's wife, so he sold his things and put the money he got in oil paper bags.
"Don't blame your sister-in-law for only caring about money. She's only been thinking about that little thing in her life. Your sister-in-law is capable. You should treat her well. You still have to listen to your wife when it comes to life!"
It was rare for Brother Zhan to say so much, and he couldn't say any more, so he put his hands behind his back and waved him home.
"Repay sincerity with sincerity. Don't try your tricks. You might lose your wife and have no place to cry!"
