Chapter 8

"My wife and brother-in-law."

Lu Huaijing introduced Tang Wan and the others to the captain generously, and said to Tang Wan:

"Wife, this is Captain Lu of our Shiping Brigade."

When he received the telegram from his father-in-law, he hurriedly found his leader to report his marriage. Because he was worried about Tang Wan's background, he also asked his leader to expedite it.

When he came back, the report had already come out, so Tang Wan was definitely his daughter-in-law.

Captain Lu opened his mouth into an O shape and the cigarette in his hand almost fell to the ground.

My goodness, this is more than just a partner, she has become my wife!

His daughter must be crying!

"Hello, Captain."

Tang Wan stood in front of Captain Lu with ease and grace. No matter how she looked at him, he was better than that annoying daughter of hers. No wonder Lu Huaijing looked down on his daughter.

Captain Lu nodded with mixed feelings, "Hello."

His puzzled eyes fell on Tang Zhou again. Why did he bring his brother-in-law back to the marriage?

Lu Huaijing didn't want to explain this for the time being. He glanced at the people sitting on the ox cart and said politely to Captain Lu:

"Captain, if there are more people, we won't take the bullock cart back. You guys go back first."

"Okay."

The captain did not force them, mainly because he was in a complicated mood and was thinking about going back to have a good chat with the lady.

Don't worry about people with families.

The ox cart gradually went away, and Tang Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. The look in the captain's eyes just now made him very uncomfortable.

"Zhou Zhou, coming to your brother-in-law's house is just like being at your own home." Lu Huaijing carefully noticed Tang Zhou's discomfort, and Tang Wan was in a good mood.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

"Okay, you guys have a good chat, I'll go borrow a bike."

Lu Huaijing asked Tang Wan and Tang Zhou to wait here. After the people walked away, Tang Wan raised her head and rubbed the top of Tang Zhou's head.

"Zhou Zhou, even if you don't rely on your brother-in-law's family, I can still support you."

"But……"

Tang Zhou lowered his head, "Brother Lu's family will definitely dislike me because I am a burden to you."

"If they don't like it, I'll take you alone."

It’s not that Tang Wan hadn’t thought about calling off the marriage, but her parents were sent away, and following Lu Huaijing would also help her avoid a lot of trouble.

"Sister, you are so nice."

Tang Zhou was deeply moved. "When you are old, I will be filial to you, and I will let my children be filial to you as well."

Tang Wan: …

That's not necessary.

Fortunately, Lu Huaijing appeared at this time pushing a Phoenix brand bicycle, and he patted the crossbar of the bicycle.

"Zhou Zhou, you sit in the front."

Tang Zhou: ...

Although he was full of resistance, when Tang Zhou saw those people walking back on foot, he jumped onto the crossbar of the bicycle swiftly.

Then Lu Huaijing asked Tang Wan to sit in the back.

“Wouldn’t this be too heavy?”

It's no wonder Tang Wan was confused. After all, the three of them weighed hundreds of pounds, and they had luggage. She didn't know if the bicycle could handle it.

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Lu Huaijing tied the suitcase to the basket in front, and Tang Wan carried a cloth bag in her hand, and they rode their bicycles quickly towards Shiping Brigade.

This was not the asphalt road built in later times. It was full of potholes and bumps, and Tang Wan's butt was almost numb from the bumps.

Her face was full of pain until she met a bullock cart not far away.

Tsk…

Yu Juan was vomiting all over the place while sitting on the ox cart, and the other educated youth traveling with her all looked unhappy.

Comparing the two, Tang Wan suddenly found that it was not so uncomfortable.

Sure enough, most of the time, people rely on comparison.

While riding his bike, Lu Huaijing introduced the family members to Tang Wan, but Tang Wan could only remember a rough outline of them.

The bicycle passed over an arch bridge, and what came into view was a village with smoke rising from cooking fires. It was the time when every household was cooking.

Tang Wan suddenly became a little nervous. Lu Huaijing was riding through the village, and many curious people stretched their heads to see what Tang Wan looked like.

"Jing Yazi, who is this?"

"My wife!"

Lu Huaijing answered those people's questions loudly, and Tang Wan's face was already blushing as he walked by.

This man has no shame.

She was feeling embarrassed when Lu Huaijing rode his bicycle into a yard and shouted, "Mom, we are back."

Tang Wan:!!!

A bit sudden.

The bicycle stopped and Tang Wan's eyes fell on the people eating in the large yard.

There were about seven or eight people, all of them pale and thin, eating around a large round table.

Lu Huaijing's father died heroically a few years ago. He and Wang Dani had four sons and two daughters. The eldest son Lu Huairen married Li Cuihua. The two of them worked on the farm at home and had one son and two daughters.

The second son, Lu Huaide, married Wang Shuhua. They were both honorable workers and had two daughters.

The third child is Lu Huaijing, the fourth child Lu Huaili is already married, and the last child is a pair of twins who have not yet married, namely Lu Huaiyi and Lu Huaimei.

It is truly a prosperous family.

Wang Dani, who was distributing steamed buns, stood up quickly, her face full of excitement.

"The third one is back!"

"mother!"

Lu Huaijing was also very excited. It had been three years since he last came back from his family visit leave, and even a grown man like him had tears in his eyes.

"You've lost weight. You've lost weight."

Wang Dani patted Lu Huaijing with red eyes. It was a very touching moment, but a sarcastic voice interrupted.

"Could it be that the one who can't carry anything on her shoulders or in her hands is our third sister-in-law?"

Tang Wan looked in the direction of the voice and caught a glimpse of a short woman with a droopy face.

Before she could say anything, Lu Huaijing's face darkened, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

He protected Tang Wan and Tang Zhou behind him, which made Mrs. Lu so angry that she fell backwards and pouted.

"What can I mean? You are my brother, so of course I hope you can find a wife with a big butt and good childbearing ability.

Seeing how skinny and small she is, she might not be able to have children..."

"Li Cuihua, shut up!"

Wang Dani roared angrily, scaring Li Cuihua so much that she trembled and quickly hid behind her man, Lu Lao Da.

"Nier, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. We are very happy that you can marry into our family."

Before liberation, Wang Dani worked as a maid for a wealthy family, and she liked Tang Wan the way she was.

No wonder the old man was still thinking about marrying her third son after he died.

The more Wang Dani looked at the clean and fair Tang Wan, the more she liked her. She glanced at the people in the yard with a warning look.

"Listen to me, the daughter-in-law chosen by the third son is the daughter-in-law I choose. If you have any opinions in your heart, keep them to yourself!"

This domineering look made Tang Wan admire him a little, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"mother."

“Hey!”

Wang Dani agreed happily, which made people in the yard feel annoyed and their eyes hurt. Li Cuihua rolled her eyes.

"Mom, we really can't express our opinions on who my third brother wants to marry, but I heard that she has a bad background, and we can't let her get us into trouble!"

Although her mother never said it explicitly, Li Cuihua knew from the look of Tang Wan that she must be a beautiful lady from the city.

"Boss, take care of your wife!"

Wang Dani was so angry that she was fuming. She quickly trotted to the gate of the courtyard to take a look. Fortunately, there was no one there. It was dinner time and everyone went home to eat.

She closed the gate and walked in quickly. Boss Lu was pulling Li Cuihua in a deep voice, "Stop talking."
