Ji Xiaorou was filled with hatred and fear. She sat on the stool for a long time before she came to her senses. She did not dare to look in Ji Wanqing's direction again and forced herself to go to the door to greet the guest.

The wedding banquet began. The witness was the head of the 112th Regiment. After the newlyweds read their quotations, they began to eat.

Who would have thought that the dishes on the table were so indescribable and just like the specifications of an ordinary banquet.

Pork, cabbage and vermicelli, more cabbage and vermicelli, less meat.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, lots of mushrooms and soup, and the chicken is very tasty.

Yan Chong looked at the ratio of meat to vegetables in the bowl and his expression was very good.

He had clearly given his mother money to go to the canteen and ask her to buy more meat and other dishes for her meal, so how did it end up like this?

I didn't have any money, but I ordered six drinks for him and treated so many guests. In the end, I didn't have any money in my pocket, so I had to deduct the meat and dishes from the table!

There was a shortage of food and clothing in those days. Although the military district was short of food, everyone had lived through hard times and saw no reason to waste food, so they ate everything they could.

But afterwards, I couldn't help but say a few words behind their backs, "The Yan family is too stingy. If they didn't have money, they wouldn't have invited so many guests!"

"Yeah, I didn't even get to eat two pieces of meat at the wedding banquet, how could it be that expensive?"

"Yes, yes, you like to show off and you are willing to spend money. How can you have such a good thing that you want to take advantage of both the face and the money?"

After the guests left, Ji Xiaorou sat in front of the messy table, covering her face and crying.

This was the first time she got married in her life, and she hadn't made it this way.

Not to mention that this is a military area, where supplies are the most scarce, even if it was her hometown Yunhe City where she held a wedding banquet, it wouldn't be so shabby!

Yan Chong took a deep puff of his cigarette, suppressing his anger, "Mom, where is the ten yuan I gave you last time? Did I ask you to give it to the cafeteria so that they can buy more meat?"

Aunt Yan held her grandson in her arms, not feeling guilty at all, "Why? You come here to eat and drink for free, and you give you big bowls of meat? We just married a spendthrift woman, and she costs six dollars to buy a set of clothes! Our little tiger will have to get married in the future! Are you going to give all this money to outsiders for nothing?"

Nowadays, weddings in other places are customary with gift money or small gifts such as pillows, blankets, and enamel cups.

However, in order to prevent bad behavior, the army allowed the collection of membership fees for both large and small banquets.

In Aunt Yan's hometown, collecting money as gift has become a common practice. Weddings, third birthdays, birthdays, moving, school enrollment... any reason you can think of can be used as an excuse to treat guests.

Now, they come to the army and set up a banquet for free, and those who come don't even have to pay? How can Aunt Yan tolerate this?

"Where's the money? I gave you money to do something? Where did you put the money?" Yan Chong was so angry that he almost vomited blood! This matter should be left to me! He lost face for nothing!

Even the head of the regiment patted him on the shoulder before leaving, saying that if there were any difficulties, he should contact the organization in time. Marriage is a big deal, why should he be perfunctory?

Aunt Yan hugged Xiaohu and said, "Of course the money is saved for my grandson! When you get married and marry a new wife, you will have a wife and children to love you, but my eldest grandson won't have to love you anymore!"

Yan Chong said to Xin, "Okay, keep it. Take out the money and let me take a look."

"I'm saving it, why should I show it to you?"

"Mom! Did you send the money to my eldest brother's family?!"

The Yan family's scolding was driven away by the cafeteria staff. Seeing Aunt Yan's face of scolding him, Yan Chong was so angry that he even ignored his new daughter-in-law and left in a huff!

Aunt Yan felt a little guilty about having her son driven away, but she soon regained her composure.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood. The eldest son works hard in the fields in his hometown. What's wrong with her sending some money from time to time to support him? Instead of letting the outsiders eat and drink for free, it would be better to send this money back to the eldest son's family and let the grandchildren supplement it.

Ji Wanqing didn't eat much. To be more precise, he just moved his chopsticks twice just to pretend to eat.

Seeing that Ji Xiaorou didn't even dare to look at her directly when she toasted him, she guessed that he finally recognized her.

The couple went home and simply had a bowl of noodles with meat sauce to calm down. Ji Wanqing also told Jiang Che about her acquaintance with Ji Xiaorou, so that he would not know the situation clearly.

"Step-sister?" Jiang Che was surprised.

"Yes, my stepmother brought me here, and I changed my last name to my father's."

Jiang Che also wondered why it was so, "Then..."

"Don't bother with her. As long as she offends us, let her do whatever she wants."

It looks like the relationship is very good.

Jiang Che understood, "I see, don't pretend it doesn't happen."

Thinking of Ji Xiaorou's disgusting actions in Yunhe City, Ji Wanqing still reminded her, "If you notice anything unusual, you must tell me immediately. She looks weak and frail, but she is actually vicious and courageous. She will definitely do something disgusting to you at any time, so you can't defend yourself."

Before, she was alone in Yunhe City, and being murdered by Ji Xiaorou was at most a safety issue.

But now in the army, where many of the couples' social circles are, Ji Xiaorou has become the barefoot one who is afraid of wearing shoes.

She was willing to take risks and didn't care about other people's eyes, but she was cautious and could let Jiang Che bear the consequences.

Seeing Qingqing using the word "vicious" to describe a person for the first time, he looked a little timid, "I know, I will definitely be on guard."

-

Because of the embarrassment at the wedding, Ji Xiaorou behaved very well for a while. Even the tea party for the military wives in Lane 2 to get to know their new husbands was postponed until the second weekend.

Still at Auntie 냫 Lan’s house.

But this time Ji Wanqing brought Ye Yaman along.

At first, Ye Yaman was too willing. She knew that she had good relationships in Lane 2. Other military wives thought she was coquettish, nosy, and picky.

However, when Ji Wanqing told her that the daughter-in-law of the Yan family next door was her stepsister, Ye Yaman came at ease.

Join in the fun, but it's cold.

"Oh, our Lane No. 2 is really a blessed place! The three high school students in the entire regiment's military area are all in our Lane No. 2!" Aunt Cui'e looked proud, even more proud than herself.

Auntie Wang Lan also felt very honored. After all, she was the invisible leader of the military wives in Lane 2. Whenever there was any friction between the neighbors, they would come to her to seek justice.

"Xiao Rou, we military wives all have benefits. You have such a high level of education. Why don't you ask the regiment's life instructor to find you a job?"

Ji Xiaorou didn't dare to look in Ji Wanqing's direction. She just shook her head tremblingly, "No, Auntie Lan, I have a lot of housework to do at home. I don't have time to go to class."

Aunt Cui'e asked hurriedly, "You just got married and Aunt Yan left all the housework to you?"

Ji Xiaorou lowered her head, looking like she had been bullied, and murmured, "Mom is old now, and she is more efficient at doing things."

As expected, Aunt Cui'e and Sister Qiuxia immediately became indignant and recounted in detail how Aunt Yan had exploited the previous daughter-in-law in the past.

"...Yan Hansan hasn't even finished her confinement yet, and she's already been washing clothes."

"At that time, Yan Chong was away on a mission, and she was very brave to torture his wife at home."

"Don't be like that person who endured humiliation and tried to be a good wife and mother. Look how happy Yan Xiaohu is when he calls you mom now. All men are heartless."

Ye Yaman sat farther away from Ji Wanqing, and the two of them were basking in the autumn and winter sun, looking very comfortable.

As the conversation was going on, Ye Yaman whispered, "Your step-sister is really good at what she does."

All of her mother-in-law's secrets were exposed, but she still insisted that it was possible and that her mother-in-law was very good to her.
