Chapter 260 Fifth Brother's Wife 2
"You must be tired from walking. Come inside and rest for a bit. Second son's wife, go and make two bowls of sweet water."
"Hey!"
Chen Jianmin nodded in agreement and led Liu Lanzhi into the house to put down the things he was carrying.
"Drink some water to soothe your throat."
As soon as they sat down, Zhou Zhaodi brought over two bowls of sweet water from the kitchen.
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law," Chen Jianmin said, and Liu Lanzhi immediately followed suit, calling her "Second Sister-in-law."
Zhou Zhaodi waved her hand, smiling, and said, "We're all family now, no need to be so polite!"
As she spoke, her eyes darted furtively into the bag, and when she spotted the malted milk powder packaging inside the plastic bag, her eyes lit up.
It looks like quite a lot; they're really generous.
"This is my dad, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, and my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law!" Chen Jianmin introduced his family members to Liu Lanzhi.
Apart from Ma Xiulian, everyone else was meeting her for the first time.
Liu Lanzhi nodded to the group and greeted them warmly, "Hello, brothers and sisters-in-law."
The three Chen brothers were not good with words, and since men and women were different, they could only show a smile with their dark faces.
Zhao Mei nodded in a friendly manner and responded with a smile.
I feel that my fifth brother's wife should have a good temper, and they should get along well after she marries Chen Jianmin.
Zhou Zhaodi, however, was all smiles and much more enthusiastic: "Lanzhi, you are so beautiful and have such a lucky face. Fifth Brother is truly blessed."
Carpenters make a lot of money!
Liu Lanzhi's dowry will definitely be substantial, and she might even benefit from it in the future.
Moreover, what she said was true. Liu Lanzhi was tall and sturdy, with regular and dignified features, and looked like a blessed person.
Only Li Chunhua sat next to Liu Lanzhi, holding Jinbao, staring intently at her with jealousy in her eyes.
The bright red color on her lips must mean she was wearing lipstick.
She had only ever smelled the scent of snowflake cream on the bodies of the brigade leader Zhao Mancang's wife and Jiang Manyun.
You should know that these lipsticks and face creams are only sold at the town's department store, and each one costs a full five yuan!
But she herself had never even used the cheapest skin cream that cost one dollar.
Li Chunhua raised her hand and touched her face; the texture was rough, and she felt sad and wronged.
Look at her clothes again, they're obviously brand new!
But I might not be able to wear a new piece of clothing all year round. The one I'm wearing now is already a bit faded from washing and has a few patches, which makes me even more upset and aggrieved.
Ma Xiulian took in the expressions of the three people and remained silent.
Compared to the three daughters in her family—one simple-minded, one cunning, and one stupid—Liu Lanzhi was arguably the daughter-in-law she was most satisfied with!
Over the years, she had visited the old carpenter's house and met him at least once. She had a pretty good idea of her future daughter-in-law's personality: she was a simple-minded, not greedy, and hardworking person.
Moreover, she has a large frame, which suggests she is easy to raise.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Ma Xiulian's eyes.
"Fifth Uncle!"
Chen Erbao rushed up to Chen Jianmin, greeted him hastily, and then looked at Liu Lanzhi and asked in a carefree manner, "Fifth Uncle, is this my future Fifth Aunt?"
Chen Jianmin nodded sheepishly.
Liu Lanzhi, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed, without any sign of restraint, and her features were also quite dignified and elegant.
She smiled happily, took a bag from the table, and handed it to him, saying, "I bought some pastries, fruit candies, and plums. You can share them."
