Chapter 249 You look down on me, Xiulan is angry (revised)
Yu Wanqing was not polite at all. She put the gift from her second brother directly into her pocket, then took out another palm-sized brocade box from her own pocket and walked towards Gao Qingmei with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, this is my wedding gift to you."
"I wish my second brother and second sister-in-law a happy wedding, a long life together, happiness and peace, and a peaceful and harmonious life in the future."
Gao Qingmei quickly took the gift from Yu Wanqing and said, "Thank you, Xiaowu."
"We have truly become a family from now on. I am really happy."
Yu Wanqing hugged Gao Qingmei and said with a smile, "Yes, we will become a family in the future. Sister-in-law, you will know in the future that joining our big family is a very happy thing."
My parents are open-minded, my sisters-in-law are harmonious, and my sister-in-law doesn't cause trouble.
And without parents-in-law giving you advice and giving you some money from time to time, it would definitely be the perfect life.
Gao Qingmei nodded: "I have already felt it in advance. Others have one pair of parents-in-law, but I have two fathers-in-law and two mothers-in-law. They are all super kind and compassionate elders. I am very lucky."
These are what she really thinks. She is very fortunate to be Zhou Chengye's wife and a member of this big family.
It is indeed not as lively here as Shanghai, nor does it have the resources of Shanghai. When it comes to harvest time, she even has to earn work points with everyone else in the summer.
So what?
She lived a happy life, had enough money, lived in a big house, and had her own private plot of land to grow vegetables and some of her favorite flowers.
Among her sisters, the eldest sister is strong and her status in the family is far higher than that of her brother-in-law, so no one dares to mess with her. Because of this, no one in her husband's family is willing to get close to her, including her brother-in-law, who gradually distances himself from her.
Of course, the eldest sister didn't seem to care. She put all her attention on raising her children and working. She always thought that her sister would marry her brother-in-law just because he was handsome, so the two children they gave birth to also grew up well, very smart and well-behaved.
The value of my brother-in-law's existence is just to make my sister pregnant.
When my second sister wanted to get married, her parents were against it, but she was determined to marry my second brother-in-law. Now her relationship with her husband is very good, but unfortunately there is a mother-in-law in the middle, and the whole family is crowded together. She quarrels with her sisters-in-law over trivial matters every day, which is extremely boring.
As for the third sister, she married a man of equal status and a childhood sweetheart. Her mother-in-law was a powerful one, even more powerful than the one in the second sister's family, and she often oppressed the third sister to the point where she couldn't resist.
My third brother-in-law looks nice at ordinary times, but when he meets his mother, he becomes what Xiaowu calls a mama's boy.
No opinion at all.
Fortunately, the three older sisters were capable at work, and their mother taught them from a young age that money was the foundation of a woman's life, so the sisters kept all the money they earned in their own hands.
In contrast, she felt that her own life was the most comfortable and enjoyable.
This is the life and happiness she wants.
Of course, the three sisters are also happy with their lives.
Zhu Jun held Yu Wanqing with one hand and Gao Qingmei with the other, and said with a smile: "Look at our family, there will be no conflict between sister-in-law and sister-in-law."
"You must remember that a harmonious family brings prosperity."
Gao Qingmei and Yu Wanqing both smiled and nodded. Even the two children stood aside and said with a smile: "Grandma, we don't fight either."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.
Several people sat together and had a sumptuous lunch.
On the first night of their marriage, Gao Qingmei stayed at Zhou's house, and Zhu Yun took Xiaobin and Xiaosheng to her room to rest.
Gao Qingmei looked at the man who had just come in after taking a shower. She felt a little nervous and looked at him cautiously.
Zhou Chengye caught her little look and couldn't help but chuckle. He walked over to her, held her hand, and soothed her softly, "Don't be nervous. I won't do anything tonight."
Gao Qingmei heard this and looked at Zhou Chengye in shock: "Why?"
"You don't like me?"
Although Gao Qingmei had never experienced sexual intercourse, she had heard her three sisters talk about matters between men and women in private, so she naturally knew that she should become husband and wife with Zhou Chengye tonight.
Zhou Chengye quickly shook his head and explained: "That's not true. I love you so much that I don't have time to dislike you."
"I just feel that we haven't had a wedding yet, and I want to wait until our wedding night before I can do whatever I want with you."
Gao Qingmei's face turned red when she heard this.
"We got our marriage certificate today, so today is our wedding night." Gao Qingmei looked at Zhou Chengye firmly: "Chengye, for me, today is the most important day."
"Because from today on, my name, Gao Qingmei, will be on your household registration book, Zhou Chengye. From today on, we are husband and wife."
Compared to holding a banquet, Gao Qingmei believes that today is more meaningful.
She plucked up her courage, hugged Zhou Chengye's neck and kissed him.
When their lips touched, Zhou Chengye was shocked at first, then felt a little ecstatic, and finally hugged his wife and responded enthusiastically.
Outside the house, the cold moon was hanging high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling all around.
Inside the house, the warmth is like fire, as if to melt this cold winter.
Yu Wanqing entered the space and started making medicine as usual.
Behind her, there were many bottles, all of which contained the medicines she had prepared during this period.
Medicines for external injuries, internal injuries, and even some poisons.
Now that she has become a soldier and a military doctor in the team, she must be fully prepared for future missions.
As for preparing poison, it is of course used to deal with enemies.
When dealing with enemies, don't think about morality and kill them by any means necessary. This is Yu Wanqing's style.
Wang Yuping and Zhang Tiesheng planned to go home for the Chinese New Year, so after the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, they began to prepare things for their trip home.
Both of them were teachers at Wuxing Primary School. After class, they would go into the mountains together to look for medicinal herbs. From September to December, Wang Yuping earned hundreds of yuan by collecting herbs. Zhang Tiesheng and other male educated youth were braver and sometimes went deep into the mountains, so they earned more, a full 150 yuan.
They had some money in their hands, so they wanted to exchange more things with their fellow villagers and take them back.
Yu Wanqing listened to their plan and couldn't help but look at Ji Qing: "You didn't remind them? It's not appropriate to bring so many things back."
Ji Qing sighed: "I have already reminded them, they all said that it is a rare trip home and they want to bring something for their parents."
"Maybe, they won't be like Jianguo." Both Zhang Tiesheng's family and Wang Yuping's family still send them money and gifts.
Ji Qing thought to himself that maybe some parents were exceptions.
Seeing this, Yu Wanqing didn't say much, as everyone has their own aspirations.
At this moment, Wang Yuping came over with a smile and said, "Wanqing, help me keep something."
Yu Wanqing was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Wang Yuping handed a rough wooden box to Yu Wanqing: "There are 300 yuan in it. I won't take it home. I'll leave it here with you first."
"I know what you are worried about. I am not a fool." Wang Yuping remembered Ji Qing's reminder and couldn't help laughing: "I bought all these things for my father."
"I have no right to touch my stepmother and her children. If my father is partial to me, I will never go back to that home." I buy things for my father simply because he sends me money every month.
He cares about me so much, I can't just sit there and do nothing.
Ji Qing leaned aside and smiled: "It turns out that I was overthinking it. You all have your own ideas."
"No, if you hadn't reminded us, we really wouldn't have thought of this." Wang Yuping shrugged, looking helpless: "You all know that the situation in my family is a bit complicated. Unlike Xiaoyuan, who only has her own child at home, I have my stepmother and her child at home. Once I go back, there will be intrigues."
"After listening to your reminder, Zhang Zhiqing and I have decided to take some things back with us and keep a dozen dollars on us. If we are not happy living at home, we will come back immediately."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Tiesheng also came over with a bag: "Ji Qing, put it here for me. I will take the bus tomorrow and I won't wake you up."
Yu Wanqing and Ji Qing looked at the money in their hands, speechless.
Although they were good friends, the two of them still counted the things inside. After confirming that everything was correct, they dared to take on the important task of helping others keep their entire property.
After returning home, Yu Wanqing wrote a letter to tell Huo Lanci about this matter. In the letter, she also expressed her hope that their relatives had not changed and were still sincere to them as before.
But in this era, there are too many things that we have to do.
Until the final step, no one knows where things will go, just like Ou Jianguo's family.
I wrote a letter to Huo Lanci and also to my parents.
Thousands of miles away, the Yu family in Shangyang City:
Li Xiulan walked into the house with a sullen face. Zhang Chunyu, who was playing with her two children in the yard, saw this and quickly asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Zhang Chunyu has been married to the Yu family for many years and rarely sees her mother-in-law so angry.
Li Xiulan said in a deep voice: "Someone wanted to arrange a marriage for the third child, but I rejected him. However, he still refused and brought the girl to me directly."
Thinking about what happened just after get off work, Li Xiulan was so angry that her head hurt: "I have already clearly refused, why is there still someone who doesn't understand what I said?"
Zhang Chunyu was also shocked by this incident: "Who is that? Even if you really want to introduce the girl to my third brother, you should have told him at home. Why did you tell him outside the factory?"
In the past two years, people have often approached her privately to introduce lesbians to the family, but she always refused.
Family etiquette said that he had to choose his own wife and no one could interfere or urge him, otherwise he would not get married.
Therefore, no one in the family dared to interfere in family rituals.
Li Xiulan gritted her teeth and said, "Who else could it be besides Gu Cuiwen?"
In the entire family compound, the most gossipy and busybody is Gu Cuiwen. She always asks about other people's affairs and tells them everywhere, which is very annoying.
Zhang Chunyu frowned: "Is she going to introduce the eldest daughter of the Zhang family to my third brother?"
Li Xiulan nodded: "How do you know?"
Ever since Zhian and his family teamed up to screw the Zhang family, causing them to lose several officials and suffer heavy losses, they have been quiet for a long time in order to clean up the mess. Unexpectedly, they are now at fault again.
It seems that she has forgotten the pain after the wound has healed, and she even wants to give Zhang Ying to her third son.
The third child in her family is handsome, well-behaved, sensible, filial, and has a job. What kind of girl can't she find?
Even if the third son really couldn't get married, he wouldn't marry a girl from the Zhang family.
"She came to me and I scolded her." Zhang Chunyu sneered, "Does she really think that our Yu family is a rag-and-bone gang? Who doesn't know about Zhang Ying's shameful deeds?"
Zhang Ying is 22 years old this year. She was engaged a few years ago, but ran away with someone else. The Zhang family told others that Zhang Ying was in poor health, so they sent her to a relative's home in the countryside to recuperate.
But everyone in their circle knew that Zhang Ying had run away with someone else and had been gone for more than a year.
Less than two months after Zhang Ying returned, the Zhang family announced that they had adopted an orphan baby from a relative's family.
Haha, even with my eyes closed, I can tell whose belly this baby crawled out of.
She dared to introduce such a thing to her, Zhang Chunyu's brother-in-law. Who was she trying to offend?
Hearing this, Li Xiulan sneered, "What a jerk Gu Cuiwen is, what a jerk the Zhang family is, running outside the factory today and saying some specious things, making people misunderstand that my third child really has something unclear with Zhang Ying."
"If my third son doesn't agree, are you going to use rumors to attack the Yu family and the third son, and then accuse him of being a hooligan?"
Zhang Chunyu's face changed when he heard this. Nowadays, hooliganism is a very serious crime, and he might even eat peanuts.
"Mom, what should we do?"
Li Xiulan walked into the house holding her grandson in one hand: "You stay home and look after the child. I will ride my bike to your grandparents' house and find someone to call Zhang's and Gu Cuiwen's houses."
"Since they have no shame, I can only tear their faces off."
It's impossible to use rumors to force them to submit.
Li Xiulan didn't know what it meant to surrender. She only knew what it meant to fight to the death and die with honor.
Zhang Chunyu nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the house, and you should be careful too."
Li Xiulan smiled and glanced at her daughter-in-law: "Don't worry, I came back from the battlefield. I don't know how many Japanese were killed. I'm not afraid of a mere Zhang family."
Zhang Chunyu took his two children to say goodbye to Li Xiulan.
Before Li Xiulan got on her bike, she looked at her two children and couldn't help but smile: "Be good and listen to your mother at home. Grandma will buy you some White Rabbit candies when she comes back."
"Thank you, grandma." The two little guys smiled and waved to their grandma.
Li Xiulan got on her bike contentedly and quickly left the family compound.
Zhang Chunyu looked at her mother-in-law's back and was still a little worried. After thinking about it, she sent the two children next door and asked the neighbors to help take care of them.
She also rode her bicycle to the factory to find her father-in-law and her husband.
When Li Xiulan left the monastery, someone took a deep look at her back and then went towards the direction of the Zhang family.
Li Xiulan knew nothing about this.
