Zhan Tianzhu's face was full of pride when he said those words just now, and Ren Rongzheng just smiled and said nothing.
"Yes, yes, it's all your credit. The son you raised is the best." Zhang Shuqin said this with obvious emotion.
Zhan Tianzhu's arrogance had just been extinguished when he saw her expression.
Seeing the remarried elderly couple wanting to talk alone, Ren Rongzheng said with great insight, "You two sit here for a while. I'll go help Aunt Jin."
After Ren Rongzheng walked away, Zhan Nanjin hurriedly followed her.
"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you want to do, and I'll help you."
Ren Rongzheng had a good impression of his sister-in-law Nan Jin, at least much better than his half-sister Ren Rongxue.
"No, just go sit down."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I can't stay idle at home either. I'll help you." After Zhan Nanjin finished speaking, he went directly to help Aunt Jin, helping her pour water, and then brought cups of water to them.
Lin Musen was also a person who couldn't sit still, so he quickly came over and said, "Sister-in-law, if there is anything else you need to do, I can come and help."
"No, there's not much work to do at home."
"Then sister-in-law, please find me something to do. I really can't sit idle. I feel uncomfortable sitting here and being served by you."
Hearing his words, Ren Rongzheng couldn't help but smile. Seeing her smile, Lin Musen also smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I'm from the countryside. I haven't seen the world. I'm just a country bumpkin. Sister-in-law, please don't laugh at me."
"I'm not laughing at you. People in rural areas are simple and honest. Our ancestors were all from rural areas. How could I laugh at you?"
Seeing that Ren Rongzheng really didn't laugh at him, Lin Musen felt very warm. While Zhan Nanjin was busy and it was just the two of them here, Lin Musen whispered:
"It's really embarrassing that I can't go to the bathroom in the hotel. Sister-in-law, please don't tell anyone about this, or I'll be really embarrassed."
"Don't worry, I swear, I will definitely help you keep this secret and will never tell anyone."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I believe you if you say so. I see there's a broom in the yard, so I'll go sweep the yard."
Without waiting for Ren Rongzheng to say anything, Lin Musen had already walked into the yard and picked up the broom to sweep the yard. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he was full of energy.
"Sister-in-law, what else is there to do?"
After Zhan Nanjin delivered the water, she returned and asked Ren Rongzheng. Ren Rongzheng simply grabbed her hand and said, "Don't bother. You came all the way here. How can I let you work all the time?"
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Musen who was sweeping the yard and asked Zhan Nanjin, "Nanjin, although you and Lin Musen are not biological siblings, it seems that you have a pretty good relationship with him."
"Yes, Brother Musen is a very good person. In our area, landslides are easy to occur whenever it rains heavily, and the road to school is blocked by landslides. Whenever this happens, Brother Musen will rush to repair the road and find a way to send us to school. That's why I got to know him.
One time, the roof of our house collapsed, so I asked Brother Musen to fix it. He came with Aunt Zhang, and after that, my dad got together with Aunt Zhang. So, in a sense, I was kind of their matchmaker, but…"
Zhan Nanjin pursed her lips apologetically at this point and continued, "But Aunt Zhang is not as honest as Brother Musen. It is true that she had some selfish motives in marrying my father, but it was also because Aunt Zhang always felt that she owed Brother Musen, and she tried every possible way to compensate him. As a mother, I can understand that.
When they first got married, Aunt Zhang wanted Brother Musen to work in a large coal mine in our local area, and he had to give gifts to get in, so Aunt Zhang asked my father for a lot of betrothal money.
My dad has been single for too long and is a bit confused. In order to get married, he spent the betrothal money that was prepared for my brother's wedding on himself. To be honest, this is really unfair to my sister-in-law. However, I don't have much say in the family and dare not say anything to my dad.
Ren Rongzheng knew from what Zhan Beiqin said before that in their family, there was a strong preference for boys over girls, so Zhan Nanjin naturally had no say.
"It's okay. I don't take it to heart. Besides, your brother has already compensated me for the betrothal money, not a penny less."
"My sister-in-law is so generous. She is indeed a lady from a wealthy family. Her style of doing things is very generous."
Ren Rongzheng felt a little embarrassed by Zhan Nanjin's praise, and quickly changed the subject: "Didn't Aunt Zhang go to ask for the betrothal gift to give to Lin Musen to find a job? Why is she here looking for a job now?"
"My money was defrauded. The person who accepted the gift was not a responsible person at all. He ran away after accepting the gift. So when Aunt Zhang sent me to school this time, she insisted on bringing Brother Musen with her, saying that she wanted my brother to help him find a job.
My brother has always been very clear about his personal and public life, so I expected him to refuse, but I didn't expect him to refuse so completely. I don't know if it was my illusion, but I felt that my brother had changed a lot.
Before, no matter how unruly I was in front of him, he would never get angry with me, but now I get scared when his face turns cold. Now I see him as if he is a stranger.
"Maybe I've known your brother too late. He was already like this when I first met him. I didn't expect him to be so decisive this time. But after all, it was your stepmother who touched his wedding gift money. She brought Lin Musen here with a purpose, so it's normal for him to be upset."
"Yes." Zhan Nanjin was particularly happy to hear Rong Zheng helping Zhan Beiqin. "I was very happy when I heard that my brother got married in my hometown. I have always wanted to come and meet my sister-in-law. After meeting her, I was even happier.
Thank you, sister-in-law, for not looking down on my brother even though he's disabled, and for taking care of him so attentively. It's a blessing for my brother to marry you."
What Zhan Nanjin said really made her happy. This little guy was really good, and she liked him.
"Madam, there are guests at home again."
After hearing what Aunt Jin said, Ren Rongzheng walked out. What surprised her was that the people who came were Jiang Linhai and Ren Rongxue.
Ren Rongxue didn't want to come at all, but Jiang Linhai insisted on dragging her here. When she arrived at their door, she heard some noise inside and confirmed that someone was home, so she knocked on the door and came in.
I didn’t expect to see a whole family when I came in. Who are they?
"Sister-in-law, who is this?" Zhan Nanjin asked.
"My half-sister from my mother's side, and my ex-boyfriend and current brother-in-law."
"ah?"
Zhan Nanjin was also shocked when she heard about this relationship. Her ex-boyfriend married her sister again?
"Hello, Madam Brigade Commander." Jiang Linhai spoke first. "Xiaoxue and I got married today and officially moved into the military compound. We're living in the house that Guo Jinbiao and Wang Yuxia once lived in. I just packed it up and wanted to come say hello after I was done. I didn't expect you to have so many guests at home. I came at a bad time."
