Zhao Caifeng was just threatening Chen Shanhe, and of course she didn't really want to send the old man and the old woman over, otherwise how could she find a wife for her son.
But she didn't dare to continue. Chen Shanhe was a man of few words, but he was as firm as his words. Once he said he would accept the contract, he would really take it. Even if she regretted it, she couldn't stop him.
Zhao Caifeng skipped the topic guiltily, then she remembered something and looked at Chen Shanhe confidently again, "Shanhe, if you really treat me as your sister-in-law, then be with this woman..."
Zhao Caifeng pointed her index finger at Jiang Shiyue and said, "Just divorce this woman."
She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "It's either her or me...we." She was afraid that she was not important enough, so she pulled the old lady to indicate, "It's either us or her!"
Chen Shanhe was unmoved, "Sister-in-law, I told you, military marriage is not a joke."
"Chen Shanhe, I'm not trying to scare you! Think carefully before you answer." Zhao Caifeng snorted heavily, "If you don't get a divorce, don't come home again! Your parents won't recognize you as their son anymore. Right, Mom?"
She turned her head and asked the old lady with a threatening look in her eyes.
The old lady shrank back, looked at Chen Shanhe painfully, and stammered, unable to utter a word of agreement. However, her fear of Zhao Caifeng was deep in her bones, so she nodded slightly.
Chen Shanhe was silent.
If it were two months ago, he would have chosen to divorce Jiang Shiyue without hesitation.
Now……
"I agree!"
Chen Shanhe turned his head in surprise and looked at Jiang Shiyue who was raising his hand to signal.
Jiang Shiyue took the bowl of ice from the "refrigerator" by the wall and placed it on the table.
The "refrigerator" she made is a bit similar to the ancient ice jar, and the principle is still the "nesting doll" style of making ice with saltpeter.
The large ice block is placed inside the small ice block, the gap between the two ice blocks is filled with water and saltpeter, and the small ice block is hollowed out to store things.
Jiang Shiyue was holding a spoon in her raised hand, and she was adding some toppings to the ice before she spoke.
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, she continued what she was doing and continued, "I will divorce you if you agree to my three conditions. First, the child will go to Chen Shanhe, and whoever marries him in the future will have to become a stepmother first."
As she said this, she glanced at Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui: “…”
Chen Shanhe frowned and was about to speak.
Jiang Shiyue moved the hand holding the bowl to her side and waved towards Chen Shanhe where no one could see.
Chen Shanhe put the tip of his tongue against his back teeth and closed his mouth.
Jiang Shiyue then proposed a condition, "Second, I've been with Chen Shanhe since I was a pure virgin, and it's been three years. He has to compensate me for the loss of my youth. I don't ask for much, just one thousand yuan. Also, divorce is extremely bad for a woman's reputation. I'm sure a lot of people like you will curse and insult me. I also want compensation for mental damage, not much, just two thousand yuan."
The first half of the sentence was what the original owner often said, and now it was borrowed by Jiang Shiyue.
"Third, it's really hard for divorced women to find a new partner these days, so Chen Shanhe has to pay child support every month until I find another partner. Thirty yuan a month will be enough."
Jiang Shiyue had a proud look on his face, as if to say, "I'm so generous, praise me!"
"Pah!" Zhao Caifeng spat harshly. "I think you're just passing the imperial examination and wanting to become an official. You might not be old, but you have a big appetite. You're asking for thousands of yuan straight away, aren't you afraid of getting your tongue bitten by the wind?"
"What a joke!" Jiang Shiyue sneered, "Just because you're old and haven't seen the world doesn't mean I'm young and ignorant. A few thousand yuan is a lot? Ask them..." Jiang Shiyue raised his chin towards the door, "How did I treat them to dinner a few days ago?"
Adults usually don't answer at this time, but children will.
"You treated us to skewers of meat, braised pork, boiled meatballs, roasted whole lamb, stewed large bones, fried pork liver..." Dazhuang counted the items one by one on his fingers, and his saliva flowed out involuntarily again.
Da Zhuang's mother quickly pulled him aside and covered his mouth.
But Dazhuang was not the only child at the scene.
Doudou yelled, "Yes! Plenty of meat, eat as much as you want. And shaved ice too!"
"My dad said that all the soldiers in the battalion were full, and so was I! I like braised pork the most, I think braised pork is the best."
“I think barbecue is the best!”
“Roasted whole lamb is delicious!”
“…”
Children being children, they soon started fighting over which food was the most delicious and were taken away by their respective parents.
For Jiang Shiyue and Zhao Caifeng, these answers were enough.
Jiang Shiyue stuffed the shaved ice into the old lady's hand with a proud look on her face, "It's hot, please have a little."
It's so hot, but the old lady is still wearing long clothes and long pants.
Zhao Caifeng gritted her teeth in pain.
How could Chen Shanhe marry such a spendthrift?!
How much would it cost to invite so many people to dinner, no, just meat?
"Chen Shanhe!" Zhao Caifeng had seen through everything. She couldn't talk to Jiang Shiyue, so she had to find Chen Shanhe. She threatened Chen Shanhe, "I'm going to report you to your leader! I'm going to say you're disloyal and unfilial! You don't care about your parents at home, but you're wasting money here. This matter won't end until you retire from the army!"
She knew that the army had strict discipline. If Chen Shanhe was labeled as unfilial and made a big deal out of it by crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, even if the army didn't expel him, it would definitely affect his promotion.
Now that Chen Shanhe has lost his status as an officer, let’s see how arrogant Jiang Shiyue can still be.
She had never seen so much meat in her life, let alone eaten it.
Zhao Caifeng's heart bled when she thought about how hundreds of people had eaten it.
Chen Shanhe was not threatened and he had a clear conscience.
Besides, the money for buying the meat was paid by Jiang Shiyue.
Zhang Cui was afraid that Zhao Caifeng would really cause Chen Shanhe to be expelled, so she quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Sister-in-law, this was Jiang Shiyue's idea. You can't take your anger out on Chen Ying!"
If Chen Shanhe is really expelled from the army, who will she marry?
"What's it to you?" Zhao Caifeng pushed Zhang Cui. "What does it have to do with you? Besides, weren't you eager to marry Chen Shanhe? Isn't it just what you want if I divorce them?"
"I..." Zhang Cui didn't expect Zhao Caifeng to be so rude and directly expose her thoughts in public.
She was embarrassed for a moment, her face flushed red, she was annoyed but dared not be annoyed, and looked at Chen Shanhe for help with resentment.
Chen Shanhe's eyes were on his mother. He saw her eating shaved ice in small bites with a satisfied look on her face, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Shiyue.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Our Cuicui is still a pure and innocent girl and has not been engaged to anyone else. If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart." Zhang Yan, who came hurriedly, just heard this and immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed in.
The rooms in the family compound were not big, and with six adults standing there, it was immediately full.
Jiang Shiyue took the opportunity to signal Chen Shanhe to help the old lady into the inner room, and whispered to him, "When women fight, men should not interfere. If you hear anything, don't come out. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
I'm really not worried about that.
