Wang Meizhen shook her head and sighed, then walked over to sit next to Zhan Yiping. "Yiping, it was wrong for me to hit you today, but Jinyue is your future sister-in-law. You can't treat her like that, okay?"
"Mom, I don't understand what's so good about Su Jinyue? Why would my brother give up his future for her?" Zhan Yeping couldn't let it go.
Wang Meizhen shook her head and said, "Your eldest brother's future is achieved by his own efforts, not by marrying a wife. He will be looked down upon if he does that." Their Zhan family is poor, but they must be poor with dignity.
"Mom, you don't understand. Being related to the Commander's family means others will only look up to us and curry favor with us. How could they look down on us?" Zhan Yeping said. She was increasingly disgusted with Su Jinyue. Her eldest brother used to love her so much and always gave in to her, but now he was being mean to her because of Su Jinyue.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Wang Meizhen really didn't know what to say.
"I'm not the one being stubborn, you're the ones who are really stubborn. You have a bright and broad road but you choose to walk on a muddy path." Zhan Yeping stood up and walked towards her room.
Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue came to Zhan's house and put the gifts they bought this time on the table.
"Mom, these were all bought by Jinyue. Try this down jacket." Zhan Yihan picked up a down jacket and handed it to Wang Meizhen.
"How can I be so embarrassed! I've never given Jinyue anything." Wang Meizhen took the down jacket with embarrassment. She had heard that down jackets were made of duck and goose feathers, and were said to be warmer than ski jackets.
"So light and soft! City people are so clever, even thinking of using duck and goose feathers to make clothes. Unlike us country folk, we throw away the feathers after we kill the ducks and geese." Wang Meizhen smiled as she put the clothes on. This was bought for her future daughter-in-law, and even if it were worthless, she would still be happy.
"Aunt Zhan, go look in the mirror and see if you like it. If the size isn't right or you don't like the style, I'll help you change it," Su Jinyue said with a smile. This time, she had bought clothes for her master and everyone in the Zhan family. Although she didn't like Zhan Yiping, she was Yihan's sister after all.
Wang Meizhen smiled and nodded, then walked towards her room. The clothes were light, but they were really warm to wear.
Zhan Yeping heard the three people talking outside and tiptoed to the door. She quietly opened it a crack and saw Wang Meizhen wearing a purple down jacket. She curled her lips. "My mother is so easy to please. Su Jinyue was so happy just by giving her a piece of clothing. Even if Su Jinyue gave her ten or eight pieces of clothing, she wouldn't pay any attention to her. How could clothes be better than those of a relative who is a military commander?"
She closed the door, walked back to the bed and sat down. Besides, she didn't believe Su Jinyue would buy her clothes. Even if she did, it would be her brother's money.
At Wang Meizhen's insistence, Su Jinyue stayed at the Zhan family for lunch.
At noon, Zhan Dafeng, Zhan Yilin, Zhan Yifeng, and Zhan Yifeng's girlfriend also came. She came because she heard from Yifeng that the commander's daughter was visiting his home. She had never seen the daughter of a high-ranking official before, so she wanted to see what was different about the commander's daughter.
"Miss Tian has gone back?" Zhan Yifeng was a little disappointed when he knew Tian Mengxue had left. He had brought his partner here just to see Tian Mengxue, but he didn't expect that she had already left.
"Are you disappointed?" Zhan Yihan asked in a cold voice. Yiping was like this, and so was Yifeng.
Zhan Yifeng quickly shook his head, "No, I just feel a little weird." He has been afraid of his elder brother since he was a child. When he frowns, he is scarier than his father.
"This is your future sister-in-law. No one else can be her," Zhan Yihan declared forcefully. His wife was only Jin Yue, and only Jin Yue.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Zhan Yilin and Zhan Yifeng hurriedly greeted Su Jinyue. Compared to Tian Mengxue, they actually liked Su Jinyue more. They grew up together and knew each other well, so they wouldn't feel constrained in the future.
Su Jinyue raised her lips and smiled, "I'm not used to you guys doing this."
"You'll get used to it slowly, sister-in-law. Let me introduce her to you. She's my girlfriend, Gong Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun's name is Su Jinyue. She's from the same village as us and is a doctor. We've grown up together as children." Zhan Yifeng introduced both parties.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Gong Xiaoyun greeted Su Jinyue shyly. Their village was the next door village, not far from Shangxin Village, so she knew Su Jinyue.
"Hello!" Su Jinyue smiled and nodded.
"Jinyue bought New Year gifts for you all. Mom will get them for you." Wang Meizhen smiled and walked towards her room.
"Sister-in-law, thank you!" Zhan Yilin thanked Su Jinyue with a smile.
"You're still being polite to me," Su Jinyue said with a smile. Besides being childhood playmates, she and Zhan Yilin were also classmates, attending high school together before separating.
Wang Meizhen came out with three bags and handed them to Zhan Yilin, Zhan Yifeng and Gong Xiaoyun respectively.
"Me too?" Gong Xiaoyun was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Su Jinyue would even think of her.
"Is this a down jacket? Cheng Jun from our class has one. He said that although down jackets are light, they're warmer than cotton-padded jackets and ski jackets," Zhan Yilin said happily. He'd always wanted to buy a down jacket, but after seeing the prices at the mall, he gave up the idea. The cheapest down jacket cost his father two months' salary.
"This down jacket isn't cheap!" Zhan Yifeng put it on and turned around in front of Gong Xiaoyun with a satisfied look on his face. "Xiaoyun, do you think I look good?"
"It looks good!" Gong Xiaoyun nodded with a smile.
"Try yours too, let me see if it looks good." Zhan Yifeng urged with a smile.
"Yes!" Gong Xiaoyun nodded and took her clothes out of the bag. She had been wearing her eldest sister's hand-me-down clothes since she was a child, and this was her first new clothes.
"It looks good! This color really suits you. Go and thank your sister-in-law." Zhan Yifeng said with a smile.
Gong Xiaoyun nodded obediently, looked at Su Jinyue and smiled shyly, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome!" Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head. This winter was particularly cold, so she had chosen to buy them down jackets. However, down jackets only came in a variety of colors, but there weren't many styles to choose from.
Gong Xiaoyun took off her down jacket, folded it carefully, and put it in her bag. She planned to wear it again on New Year's Day.
"Mom, why don't I see Yiping?" Zhan Yilin asked curiously.
"She's in the room, and she won't come out even when I call her." Wang Meizhen felt a little angry when she thought of Zhan Yiping. She really couldn't understand what was wrong with Jin Yue, and why Yiping was so repulsive to her.
