Hong Huizhu was silent for a moment, "Really... won't you help me?"
Although she successfully moved into the family compound with Aunt Lu, it was only temporary.
Moreover, Zhengguo basically went out early and came back late every day, rarely met with them, and even ate in the cafeteria.
She has been in the army for several days, but she has hardly interacted with Brother Zhengguo.
If they continue like this, they will just go back in disgrace.
Shen Man refused decisively again, "No, you guys should handle yourselves. Why are you looking for an outsider like me?"
If she really met Lu Zhengguo privately, Lu's mother might report her to the police, saying that she was still restless after getting married and seduced her son.
Besides, for such a major life event, it makes no sense to ask her, his ex-wife who had already been divorced, for help.
I don't know what this head is thinking.
"Okay, I'll close the door and eat. You can go back." After saying this, Shen Man closed the door completely.
The cold wind blew against Hong Huizhu's face, causing her skin to ache and feel extremely painful. Her face gradually turned pale.
She looked at the closed door in front of her, stood there for a moment, then turned and left.
As soon as Hong Huizhu left, she was seen by sister-in-law Yunxiang who was pouring water at the next door. She glanced at her several times.
Hey, isn't this the new neighbor next door? I heard that there is Deputy Head Lu's family and his fiancée. These days, Deputy Head Lu's mother talks about this future daughter-in-law every day. "
"She kept saying how well behaved and sensible her future daughter-in-law is. She's nothing like the previous daughter-in-law."
Sister Yunxiang couldn't help but sigh.
Some of Deputy Head Lu's past events had already spread in their family compound.
It is said that he had a wife before, but this marriage was plotted, and the one who plotted against him was his wife.
Originally he was supposed to marry his wife's younger sister, but unfortunately he was snatched away by that vicious woman.
Now that the two have finally divorced, Deputy Head Lu has been freed, but the woman who just went over didn't look that good.
Could it be that Vice Captain Lu had just escaped from the sea of suffering, and Ma Xiao was betrayed by his own mother again?
Shen Man didn't know what was going on outside. She didn't plan to go to the cafeteria to get lunch this afternoon, but planned to cook by herself.
Before Gu Qinglin left for the mission, he filled the kitchen at home with a lot of food, including rice, flour, and eggs. The only thing missing was meat.
But he left her a lot of meat coupons, grain coupons, and some coupons.
In addition to the bankbook handed over by her boyfriend, Shen Man had no shortage of money or tickets.
It just so happens that Sister Yunxiang has an appointment with her to go to town tomorrow, so she can buy some meat then.
The next day came in a flash.
Considering that it was cold to ride a bicycle in winter, Shen Man and Sister Yun Xiang made an appointment to take the army out every weekend to send their families to the town to buy supplies.
The car started at eleven in the morning.
Shen Man and sister-in-law Yun Xiang had already set out at half past ten and were waiting at the car stop.
When she arrived at the place, she met Hong Huizhu again, but this time Lu's mother was not with her. With her was an old woman with a high cheekbones and a sallow complexion.
When Sister Yunxiang saw this, she whispered in Shen Man's ear without making a sound.
"Speaking of this Mrs. Huang, her son-in-law has a good relationship with your family patron leader. You should know him. His name is An Jianguo."
"An Jianguo's wife died a long time ago, and Mrs. Huang has no one to rely on, so she has to live with An Jianguo."
"But she has a bad temper and doesn't get along with anyone. She's always alone. I don't know what's wrong with her today. She's with Hong Hye-joo."
Shen Man remembered that Gu Qinglin had told her some time in advance that An Jianguo's ex-wife had passed away and did not leave any children. Mrs. Huang lived with him and had never allowed him to remarry.
As long as she introduced him to a girl, Mrs. Huang would rush over and beat up those women without caring about anything.
Therefore, An Jianguo is already in his teens, but still has no children, and looks almost forty years old.
At this time, Hong Huizhu also saw Shen Man, and she smiled at her as if nothing had happened.
"Comrade Shen, are you going to the town too?"
Many sisters-in-law around looked at Shen Man and Hong Huizhu.
Both of them are new here. They are not familiar with each other, but they also know something.
But it looked like they had known each other for a long time, so they wouldn't come to the same place.
Shen Man nodded, and after finding a seat in the car with Sister Yunxiang, she didn't communicate with Hong Huizhu anymore.
Mrs. Huang noticed that Hong Huizhu's eyes were always on Shen Man, so she asked, "Are you familiar with her?"
Gu Qinglin had a good relationship with her son-in-law. When he got married, Jianguo gave Gu Qinglin a gift of ten yuan without even saying hello. It was really a generous gift.
Tsk tsk tsk, she is his mother-in-law, not his biological mother, and his daughter-in-law is gone, so his family must have been on guard against her a long time ago.
It was also her fault. Why did she choose such a man for her daughter?
Hong Huizhu shook her head. "Not really familiar, but acquainted."
These days, she and Aunt Lu also inquired about the background of the man Shen Man married.
It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't ask, but when I did, I got a big shock.
The man Shen Man married actually has a higher position than Brother Zheng Guo. It is said that he is not only extremely strong, but also has a good family background. He is from Beijing, and his parents were once famous military doctors.
Even though I'm no longer in the military hospital, I still have a lot of connections in the army.
No wonder Shen Man divorced Zheng Guo. It turns out she was trying to climb up the social ladder.
Because of this, she and Aunt Lu had to put their plan on hold for the time being. They came to find Brother Zhengguo, not to cause trouble for him.
Soon, Shen Man and Sister Yunxiang arrived in the town.
I didn't have any food when I arrived two mornings ago, so I went to a state-owned hotel and simply had a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
After finishing the meal, Shen Man took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the meat processing factory to see if there is any meat. Do you want to go with me?"
Sister Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I also brought a few meat tickets with me, so let's go together."
The children at home are all growing up, so there is no room for ambiguity in this regard.
When the two of them arrived at the meat processing factory, Sister Yunxiang was in a bad mood. "Oh, we are late. There are only lean meats left. There is no fat at all."'
Nowadays, if you only eat meat once or twice a month, you are considered well off at home. Many families cannot afford meat at all.
Therefore, people now generally like fatty meat, which is oily and fishy. Lean meat usually has little fat, so they buy it reluctantly.
