Chapter 2 Dowry

Wen Ci returned to the Jiang family compound.

When returning to the city from the countryside, Jiang Chen disliked the tattered clothes in her family, so he only bought one new set of clothes for Wen Ci when he came to the city.

Now her clothes were wet and Wen Ci had nothing to wear. Although it was spring, she couldn't help shaking herself and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing her eldest son standing there unmoved, Su Guilan couldn't help but kick him and yelled, "Why are you still standing there? Go buy your sister some new clothes!"

"Or let your sister wear my clothes first." Suddenly, a sweet and soft voice sounded from the stairs, and Jiang Ye came down in a little white dress.

"My sister and I have similar figures, so my clothes should be able to fit my sister, too."

"Yes, Mom, let Wen Ci wear A Ye's clothes first."

Jiang Chen quickly spoke up to agree.

Su Guilan looked at him fiercely, and Jiang Chen had no choice but to leave. When his eyes fell on Wen Ci, they were full of pity and compassion, and he said softly:

"Ah Ci, if you don't want to go to the Northwest, let Xiao Huo write a divorce application tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Wen Ci frowned. Why did she file for divorce? Suddenly, she remembered what the man said when they were on the shore.

"It's your husband."

Wen Ci's face turned red as she recalled his voice, which was a deep and magnetic low voice that could bewitch people.

"Sister, why is your face red?"

Wen Ci lowered his head and coughed twice. Su Guilan said nervously, "I've asked your Aunt Wang to make ginger soup."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Ye: "Are there any clothes in your closet that you haven't worn yet? If so, take them down. If not, bring me a set of pajamas."

"some……"

Jiang Ye's voice was as small as a mosquito.

Wen Ci asked: "What is the matter with writing a divorce application?"

Su Guilan bit her lower lip, and after thinking it over again, she decided to tell her biological daughter the truth. She said nervously, "Your household registration is in the countryside, and I sent it to you a few days ago to get the marriage certificate."

Wen Ci: ...

She was speechless and didn't know what to say.

After a while, Wen Ci widened his eyes and asked, "I want to ask, does what you said in the teahouse still count?"

"What?"

"Give me a thousand dollars as a dowry."

She was a little uncomfortable when she first came here, and thought that the person she was marrying was some kind of military scoundrel, but she didn't expect that he was a gorgeous soldier!

No, it seems he is still an officer in the Northwest Territory.

If she had known the appearance of her replacement bride, why would she have jumped into the river?

Isn't it nice to be a wife?!

However, what Wen Ci had not thought about was that she was now married. She and Officer Huo had obtained a marriage certificate, although she did not get the certificate.

Su Guilin was stunned, "Don't you want to get married?"

Wen Ci chuckled: "I suddenly feel that the Northwest is not bad, Huo..." She paused, and until now she still didn't know her husband's name.

"What's his name?"

"You mean Huo Jingyuan?"

"Huo Jingyuan?"

Su Guilan walked to the desk not far from the living room, picked up the brush and wrote Huo Jingyuan's name on the paper. She thought Wen Ci could not read.

The original body did not even finish junior high school. In rural areas, most families would no longer support girls’ education after they finished junior high school.

"So it's this Jing Yuan." Wen Ci murmured to himself.

Su Guilan didn't hear clearly what Wen Ci said, but she went upstairs, then walked to Wen Ci and stuffed a purse into her arms.

"Mom is as good as her word. Here are 1,500 yuan and the gold bracelet your grandma left for you before she died. All of them are your dowry."

The gold bracelet was originally a wedding gift for Jiang Ye.

But the gold bracelet had a special meaning and was passed down from ancestors. After knowing that Jiang Ye was not his biological daughter, he gave up the idea of ​​giving the bracelet to her.

Su Guilan glanced at the stairs and saw that Jiang Ye had not come down yet. She moved closer to Wen Ci and whispered, "Ah Ci, you have to remember that the gold bracelet cannot be sold until the last step. Also, if you have a baby in the future, the gold bracelet will only be passed down to girls, not boys."

Wen Ci nodded.

No wonder she felt her purse was heavy.

It turned out there was a bracelet.

Jiang Ye took a new set of pajamas and went downstairs. Aunt Wang brought a bowl of steaming ginger soup from the kitchen and smiled gently: "Drink the ginger soup while it's hot."

Aunt Wang is a child who grew up under the care of the elders of the Jiang family.

Those who are not servants are part of the Jiang family.

Wen Ci changed into silk pajamas and held the porcelain bowl in both hands. The ginger soup was steaming just out of the pot, and the calluses on her hands felt that the temperature was just right.

Wen Ci blew on the ginger soup twice, took a sip, and his body instantly felt much warmer. A smile spread across his face: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, for making ginger soup for me."

Learned from the original body's memory.

After returning to the Jiang family, only Aunt Wang cared about her the most.

So her affection for Aunt Wang doubled.

-

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Su Guilan stood up from the sofa. Her eldest son was not so polite, so the person knocking on the door must be a guest.

Su Guilan glanced at Jiang Ye, and Jiang Ye went upstairs immediately.

Usually, Jiang Ye was spoiled at home and seldom played with the other children in the compound. The other children in the compound only knew that the Jiang family had a daughter with fair skin and beautiful looks.

As for his appearance, he has never revealed it publicly.

Outside the door, Huo Jingyuan stood straight as if he was on guard. He changed into a casual suit after returning home. With his wheat-colored skin, it was obvious that he was in extremely good health.

Su Guilan smiled and said, "Xiao Huo, you are here."

Strictly speaking, Huo Jingyuan is already her son-in-law, but Wen Ci's household registration is not in the Jiang family.

Huo Jingyuan said indifferently: "Aunt Jiang."

Huo Jingyuan's eyes fell on Wen Ci, who was wearing silk pajamas on the sofa, and his eyes were not shy.

Wen Ci met Huo Jingyuan's eyes. His dark eyes were filled with unfathomable depth. You know, she had seen too many capable men in the apocalypse.

Huo Jingyuan sat directly beside Wen Ci and said bluntly: "I only have three days off when I return to the capital this time." Then he looked at Wen Ci and asked:

"You originally had a rural household registration. After we get married, we can choose to move to the Huo family household registration, or keep the rural household registration and open a separate account for you."

Wen Ci replied: "Open a separate account!"

Nowadays, many people are striving to develop urban hukou, but Wen Ci knows very well that each type of hukou has its own advantages, and it is best to have one rural household and one urban household.

Huo Jingyuan nodded: "Okay."

Hearing this, Su Guilan hurriedly said, "No, no, Ah Ci's household registration cannot be changed to a rural household registration, but to an urban household registration."

If Huo Jingyuan refused to allow Wen Ci to obtain a city hukou, then unless Jiang Ye was kicked out of the Jiang family, Wen Ci would never have any chance of obtaining a city hukou.

"I will choose a rural household registration." Wen Ci said.

She couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so she thought about it and decided to change the subject, "What is the family director of the Northwest Military Region like? Is it very desolate?"
