Chapter 100 Let's Get Our Marriage Certificate
Chief of Staff Zhao was a hero after all. Although he didn't take good care of Zhao Yue and his mother after getting married, his achievements are still there.
Zhao Yue pursed her lips and didn't say anything else outrageous.
"I'm in a good mood today, let's cook a couple more dishes!"
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I want to eat braised pork slices."
Shen Yuzhu: "...Okay!"
She looked up at Zhao Yue, blinked, and said, "Xiao Yue, stop cooking and go check on my sister. Also, call the kids over so they don't worry about their mother crying."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
She had a very simple mindset; she would do whatever Shen Yuzhu told her to do.
As soon as she left, Shen Yuzhu immediately took out several dishes from her spatial storage: stir-fried pork slices, braised pork belly, smashed cucumber, and egg drop soup, as well as a pitcher of plum juice.
I scooped out the stewed cabbage from the canned meat in the pot and put a spicy fish dish that I took out from my spatial dimension into the pot.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Yue and Shen Yuming brought the children over. Seeing the table full of dishes, the children quickly gathered around.
Zhao Yue stared wide-eyed at the table full of food in the main room, then turned to look at the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
My sister-in-law had just started cooking when I left, and in such a short time she has made so many dishes. How is she so fast?
Seeing her dazed look, Shen Yuzhu gently nudged her with her shoulder.
"What are you standing there for? Go to the kitchen and bring the steamed buns over."
"oh oh!"
Zhao Yue went to the kitchen in a daze, and when she saw that the coal stove was also hot, she burst out laughing.
"You're just scaring yourself. With two stoves, how can cooking not be faster?"
She chuckled a few times, carried the steamed buns out of the kitchen, and Shen Yuzhu glanced at her slightly before smiling and calling the children to eat.
Plum juice was very popular, so she took the opportunity to grab two bags from the cupboard.
"A friend brought this over when I was in the provincial capital. It's just like orange juice, you can drink it by mixing it with warm water. She gave a lot, so take a bag back with you, sis. When it gets hot, you can give the kids a change of pace. Xiaoyue has some too, take it with you when you leave tomorrow."
Zhao Yue pursed her lips. She knew who Shen Yuzhu's friend was. Wasn't it that tiger-woman Ren Baobei, the girl who had designs on her sister-in-law?
She doesn't care... Hmm, it's actually really delicious!!!
Shen Yuzhu knew her temperament, so she didn't say anything more and invited people to eat.
The family enjoyed a lively meal together, and it wasn't until the end that Shen Yuzhu asked Shen Yuming about his plans.
Zhang Li was supposed to be from the Xiangyang production team, so he should be buried in the ancestral graveyard after his death.
The key point is that he has now divorced Shen Yuming, and everything in the house belongs to the children. Shen Yuming is absolutely unwilling to hold a funeral at home.
She was afraid that after the funeral, something unclean might remain in the house, which would frighten the children.
"Sister, why don't you go see the brigade leader and see if anyone wants your house? Sell the Zhang family's house and you can live here with me from now on."
"Yes, yes, Sister Yuming, my brother and sister-in-law's marriage application has been approved, and their house in the family compound will be ready soon. My sister-in-law is getting married, so this house will be empty. It would be great if you could move in. It's really awkward living in that house after the funeral."
Shen Yuming thought for a moment, then looked at the children. Living here was not bad, but the Zhang family's courtyard was quite large, and their private plot behind the house was two-tenths of an acre more than others.
She was truly disgusted and never wanted to see Zhang Li again in her life, but as her children grew up, they would still need their maternal family to rely on.
She didn't want her daughters to suffer mistreatment after marriage, without a place to live or a future.
He is a child of the Zhang family and will definitely inherit the Zhang family's house in the future. If he marries and his house is not spacious enough, his wife may not be able to accommodate her sisters-in-law when they come to visit their parents' home.
"Sister, you won't live in the countryside forever. After Zhou Congsheng and I get married and settle down, I'll try to find you a job in the city. Then you can move to the county town, and Panpan and Zhang Jie can go to school there. Isn't that better than living in the countryside?"
"What? Go to school in the county town and they'll even find me a job? I...I...I can't do it! I don't know anything. If I go to the city, won't people look down on me? Yuzhu, don't scare me!"
"Then learn! Panpan and the others are learning to read, so you're learning to read too. Besides, what's wrong with city people? They're just like everyone else, they don't have an extra mouth like you, what's there to be afraid of?"
Shen Yuzhu opened her mouth, saying this, but she was really scared!
City people are so generous in their speech and actions. She doesn't even dare to lift her head when she sees a stranger, and she can't even speak properly. What is she going to do in the city? It's one thing for her, but if her children are also looked down upon, how can she bear it?
Living in the countryside for the rest of my life is definitely not realistic. Not to mention that the college entrance examination will be reinstated in a few years, my sister's timid personality also needs to be changed.
When she was there, I could protect her, but for a person to truly stand up, they need to be strong enough on their own.
"There's still time, take your time."
"That's right, Sister Yuming. I also come from the countryside. We have everything that city people have. In fact, city people are not as good as us country folk. Their food rations are rationed, and they can't even get fresh vegetables in winter. Look at us, we grow our own vegetables in our own fields and can eat them whenever we want, right?"
Zhao Yue cracked a joke, and the topic gradually faded away.
In the end, Shen Yuming was still unwilling to sell the homestead. She didn't have that intention; she just wanted to save more money for her children.
Shen Yuzhu didn't say much. Anyway, the college entrance examination would be reinstated in a few years. If she didn't want to sell the house, she could just leave it there, or she could rent it to the educated youth.
A few days later, Zhou Congsheng arrived, bringing with him a notification letter that had been obtained from the family compound application.
"It's a courtyard house with three bedrooms, a fairly large living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. I had someone connect the bathroom to running water and install a water tank, which is very convenient. I also had a contractor tidy up the courtyard. The furniture we ordered last time is almost ready. Once the house is finished and the furniture is moved in, we can move in."
His eyes sparkled when he looked at Shen Yuzhu, and his face was full of joy.
"Also, Mom said the date is set for the 8th of next month. You can invite as many people as you like, okay?"
"June 8th is an auspicious day, Zhou Congsheng, let's go get our marriage certificate!"
Zhou Congsheng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Shen Yuzhu's hand and walked out of the courtyard.
"Let's go, we'll go right now."
