Chapter 13
"Little sister, if you have any opinions, you can talk to your third brother in person. He is an adult, and I believe he has his own judgment."
Tang Wan calmly started brushing her teeth, with an expression that told the other person to shut up, which made Lu Huaimei so angry that she wanted to curse.
As a result, when I raised my eyes, I met the warning eyes of Lu Huaijing at the door. He walked in with Tang Zhou and said gently:
"Zhou Zhou, wash up first. After dinner, we'll go to the town together."
Lu Huaimei shrank back at the warning look from her eldest brother. She didn't dare to target Tang Wan anymore and just sold the cakes silently.
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Tang Zhou is very well behaved. He is always worried that his sister will have a hard time in her husband's family. His thoughtful attitude makes Tang Wan very sad.
It's better to join the army as soon as possible. Then there will be only three of us, and we won't have to worry about what these people think.
Breakfast was whole-grain bread with pickled vegetables. The meal last night was a standard meal only available during festivals.
The whole-grain biscuits had no taste and Tang Wan couldn't eat any more after eating half of it. She quietly touched Lu Huaijing's elbow.
"Here you go."
"Um."
Lu Huaijing said nothing, just took the cake and ate it. He actually knew that Tang Wan was not full and that she was not used to eating too much.
I'll buy her a meat bun when we get to town.
"Coquettish."
Lu Huaimei curled her lips, and Wang Dani glared at her warningly. Li Cuihua couldn't hold it in any longer after holding it in for the whole night.
"Third brother, when I married your eldest brother, we only gave him 100 kilograms of food and 50 yuan. How much do you plan to give when you get married?"
"What year was it when you got married? What year is it now?"
Wang Dani rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, "Back then, you could marry a wife with ten kilograms of grain!"
When Li Cuihua got married, it was just after a three-year famine. The gift made many people jealous.
If it weren't for her husband's pension, her family wouldn't have been able to make it.
Li Cuihua's face turned pale after hearing what Wang Dani said, and she said stubbornly, "It can't be that much different.
Otherwise, my second sister-in-law and I will suffer a lot, mother, you have to treat us equally!"
"Okay, I'll keep it fair!"
Wang Dani snorted and said, "Since your sister-in-law is so sensible, let's each pay 150 yuan for the third son's wedding.
As for how much the third brother wants to give as a betrothal gift, that is his money and has nothing to do with us."
She had felt sorry for the third brother for taking out 800 yuan last night, so now was the perfect time to make up for it.
"What?!!"
Li Cuihua was stunned. She had clearly seen her mother giving money last night, but she actually gave money again? ! !
"Mom, how can this be so embarrassing?"
Tang Wan didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. She was not a kind person to begin with, and when she saw Li Cuihua being embarrassed, she didn't hesitate at all.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Wang Dani smiled kindly at Tang Wan, "What your sister-in-law said makes sense. We should treat everyone equally."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan didn't need the 150 yuan, but she was grateful for Wang Dani's attention to her.
Li Cuihua was almost angry to death, she pushed the silent Boss Lu.
"Lu Huairen, can you please say something?"
"Mother has always been fair. I have no objection."
Boss Lu is a sullen person, and he knows it well. If it weren't for his father and his third brother being in the army.
It is impossible for the couple to live such a comfortable life by supporting three children with the work points they earn from work.
"Are you crazy?"
Li Cuihua didn't expect her husband to be so shameless, she said anxiously: "Mom, in front of everyone.
Did you give money to your third brother last night? There is no reason to give money so many times in a marriage."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Huaimei and Lu Huaiyi's eyes fell on Wang Dani.
Wang Dani did not deny it. "Yes, I did give it to him, but it was the third son's money. Is there anything wrong with using the money he sent home over the years to marry a wife?"
In front of her children, Wang Dani said with a stern face: "Who among you dares to say that this money should not be given to the third child?
Don't forget that you all spent the money that the third brother sent back, so don't force me to curse."
Lu Huaiyi and Lu Huaimei opened their mouths but said nothing.
After all, they both relied on their third brother’s financial support for their schooling.
Li Cuihua wanted to make more trouble, but the usually honest Lu suddenly slapped her in the face.
"Li Cuihua, I have tolerated you for long enough. That is the money that the Third Brother earned with his life. What does it have to do with you?"
"Lu Huairen, you actually hit me!"
Li Cuihua went forward and grabbed Lu Lao Da madly, leaving a bloody mark on Lu Lao Da's face. The couple then started fighting.
Wang Dani ignored them and went back to the house to get 150 yuan for Tang Wan.
"Third wife, your parents are far away, so I will give it to you directly. You can use it to buy things."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan narrowed her eyes and happily accepted the love of her future mother-in-law.
Li Cuihua saw this scene and squatted on the ground and cried out of grievance.
"Lu Huairen, I gave birth to three children for you, and your family treats me like this. You have no conscience."
"Why are you howling? Why are you howling on such a good day?"
Wang Dani glared at her with disdain, "If you don't want to live this good life, go back to your Li family now!"
Li Cuihua stopped crying. There were more than twenty people in the Li family, and they could only eat half of their meals every day.
That life was incomparable to the life in the Lu family, so no matter how angry Li Cuihua was, she could only follow her husband to work with tears in her eyes.
Lu Huaimei and her brother also went to school, Wang Dani stayed at home to take care of the children, and Tang Zhou was a little hesitant.
"Sister, why don't I just not go?"
His sister was going to marry Brother Lu, so it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to go.
"Zhou Zhou, I'm at home, you two can go without worry."
Wang Dani also hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could be alone together, and Tang Wan no longer insisted after hearing that.
"Then you stay at home and behave yourself. I will go to the town to buy some cloth to make clothes for you."
"Sister, you should buy wedding things first. I have clothes to wear."
Tang Zhou's sensibleness made Tang Wan sad. At this time, Lu Huaijing pushed a bicycle over.
"Let's go."
"Uh-huh."
Tang Wan jumped on her bicycle. She didn't look around much yesterday because she was shy. Now she realized that many people still lived in thatched houses.
Their family situation is pretty good.
Many people were working in the fields. Seeing how tanned they were, Tang Wan once again decided not to go to work.
She really can't bear this hardship.
The bicycle passed through the village, causing many people to look back frequently. Yu Juan, who was sitting on the ox cart, also wanted to go to the town.
The newly arrived educated youth had a day off to prepare her things. She heard her aunt say:
"Hongying, Jing Yazi has brought his wife back home, but you are still not married. You have become an old maid waiting for him!"
The girl named Hongying was Captain Lu's daughter. She said angrily, "How do you know that's his wife? She could be his cousin!"
After the captain came back yesterday, he wanted to tell Miss Lu Huaijing about what happened, but he couldn't open his mouth for fear that she would be upset.
So Hongying doesn’t know yet that Tang Wan is Lu Huaijing’s wife.
Yu Juan rolled her eyes and said, "They are not cousins, I came here with them by train.
The gay man was quite considerate to the lesbian and even got up in the middle of the night to cover her with a blanket. "
