Chapter 71 Another twist in the marriage



Jiang Manyue took a few sips of water, put the cup down, stood up and led the way, "Let's go."

The two of them left the black market and headed straight for the courtyard rented by Jiang Manyue.

Entering the courtyard, Jiang Manyue went forward to open the door and let the seventh brother in.

"The goods are all here. Brother Qi, please check them."

For the first transaction, Jiang Manyue knew that Seventh Brother would not be as easy to talk to as Zhou Laosan, so she generously let him inspect the goods.

Brother Seven was not vague either. He went up and picked out a few at random and started to check them.

After making sure that there was no problem, Brother Qi gave the bag to Jiang Manyue.

"That's four thousand four hundred dollars in total. Count it."

Jiang Manyue opened the bag in front of him and saw four bundles of ten-yuan bills and a thinner stack of banknotes inside.

Jiang Manyue didn't count the four bundles of money. She just counted the money and put the bag away.

"Here's the key to this place. Brother Qi, you can bring people to pick up the goods anytime. Remember to help me put the key under the pile of bricks at the door before you leave."

Jiang Manyue took out the key to the courtyard from her pocket and handed it directly to her seventh brother.

Brother Qi took the key and nodded at her. The two of them agreed to deliver another batch of canned food and milk powder, and Jiang Manyue left the yard directly.

This time she earned more than 4,000 yuan. Jiang Manyue calculated that based on the frequency of her shipments, she could earn about 10,000 yuan a month.

After all, this is in Yunzhou, a place where she is unfamiliar with. Jiang Manyue did not dare to be careless and decided to control the frequency of shipments to about once every half a month, and at most twice a month, so as to arouse less suspicion.

But even with this shipping frequency, it is enough for her to earn money.

Jiang Manyue is very satisfied with the current situation. She is just waiting for a few years to use this money as start-up capital and officially start her own road to wealth.

After taking the bus back home, it was still early, so Jiang Manyue cleaned up the house and prepared the dishes to be cooked before going to pick up Lu Junan.

When Jiang Manyue arrived, Brother Cheng had not come yet. Lu Junan and Cheng Bin were waiting at the school gate hand in hand.

Since both children were there, Jiang Manyue didn't want to take only one away. Thinking that Brother Cheng might have been delayed by work, she took both children away.

Cheng Bin has become much more lively recently. He went home with Jiang Manyue and told her about being late in the morning.

"Auntie Man Yue, I was late this morning. Dad was busy making breakfast and forgot to wake me up. I will wait until he finishes making breakfast before waking me up to eat. School has already started."

Lu Jun'an also joined in, "Brother Binbin came quite late today. The first class was already halfway through."

Jiang Manyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. It was really hard for Brother Cheng to take care of the child.

No wonder she didn't see Brother Cheng taking the child out when she sent Lu Jun'an to school in the morning. It turned out that he was busy making breakfast and forgot to wake the child up.

"Aunt, if Brother Binbin is late again, Teacher Li will ask him to stand at the back of the classroom. Can you tell Uncle Cheng to let Brother Binbin sleep with me? I will definitely not forget to wake him up."

Cheng Bin also looked at Jiang Manyue. He was a little afraid of sleeping with his father. What if his father forgot to call him again? Then he would have to stand at the back of the classroom to attend class, which would be very embarrassing.

Jiang Manyue smiled helplessly, "Then I'll go back and tell your father. If your father agrees, you can sleep with Jun'an, and I'll take you both to school in the morning."

Lu Jun'an cheered, "Brother Binbin, we can sleep together again at night!"

Jiang Manyue emphasized, "I haven't asked Binbin's father yet. I need his consent."

Lu Junan didn't care, "Uncle Cheng will definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, I'll beg him and he will agree."

Cheng Bin also nodded, "I beg you too, Dad. I don't want to be late."

The two children were talking when they met Cheng Jianyong who was rushing to pick up his children from school.

"Dad, you're late again! I'm back with Aunt Man Yue!"

Cheng Bin labeled his father as the "King of Lateness". He really didn't believe that his father would be able to wake him up on time in the future, and he didn't want to sleep with his father anymore.

Cheng Jianyong quickly explained, "Dad had something to do and was delayed. I will definitely come to pick you up on time next time."

Cheng Jianyong nodded to Jiang Manyue while speaking, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help."

Lu Junan said loudly, "Uncle Cheng, can Brother Binbin sleep with me tonight? You will forget to wake him up in the morning, and he will be punished by standing if he is late again!"

Cheng Bin also looked at his father seriously, "Dad, Teacher Li said that if I'm late again, I'll have to stand at the back of the classroom. I don't want to be late. Can I sleep with Jun An?"

Cheng Jianyong was in a dilemma. It was bad enough that he was not at home, but he also left the child to sleep at Lu Lin's house. It seemed really unacceptable.

Jiang Manyue quickly said, "Brother Cheng, if you're okay, just leave Binbin at our house and let him sleep with Jun'an. It'll be a relief for them to have some company."

"Please, Uncle Cheng, just let Brother Binbin sleep with me. I haven't finished telling him the story last time!"

Cheng Jianyong felt embarrassed. "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. I was really careless. I was so busy with the pot this morning that I forgot the time."

Jiang Manyue smiled at him and said, "It seems that Sister Ma is more experienced. Let's quickly introduce you to someone. Otherwise, Brother Cheng, you will be really busy taking care of the child."

Cheng Jianyong was very ashamed, but the two children were very happy. Binbin started packing up as soon as he got home.

Binbin stayed at the Lu family temporarily. Cheng Jianyong felt embarrassed to trouble Jiang Manyue too much, so he didn't let Binbin eat at the Lu family and insisted on cooking every meal himself.

In just a few days, Cheng Jianyong and Liu Xuemei made considerable progress, and their relationship soon developed to the stage of discussing marriage.

After all, these two people were not aiming to date, they just wanted to find a suitable person to get married, so after they fell in love, things progressed very quickly.

The happiest person was undoubtedly Sister Ma. Her matchmaking was almost successful. She felt a great sense of accomplishment in being able to help Cheng Jianyong find a marriage, and she was in high spirits for several days.

But before Sister Ma could be happy, some unexpected changes occurred in this marriage.

That morning, Jiang Manyue went out to "buy vegetables" as usual. When she came back, she met two strange women wandering around the gate of the compound. It seemed that they were looking for someone but didn't know how to get in.

The military compound is difficult to enter. When some relatives come, they don’t know how to get in and just wander around the door.

Jiang Manyue didn't care too much. Just as he was about to go in, the two men quickly stopped him.

"Hey, comrade, I'd like to ask, does Ma Jinhong live here?"
