Zhang Pingping interrupted, "Will your brother agree? Will he beg your parents to agree to your sister-in-law's terms?"
Du Yueming said coldly, "My brother is very determined now. This time, I will teach my sister-in-law a lesson and I will never agree to her conditions."
He looked at Zhang Pingping's worried eyes and patted her on the back, "My uncle and my parents have agreed to give my sister-in-law a way out. If she comes back obediently, life will go on as before.
If she still doesn't come back, our family won't want her anymore. If my brother still wants her, we'll have him and his family move into the old house. At most, I'll help him renovate it, and I won't be in charge of anything else in the future."
Zhang Pingping said gently, "Yueming, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. I was really afraid that you were the kind of person who was foolishly filial and kind to others without any principles or bottom line."
Du Yueming chuckled and said, "Pingping, I was able to rise from a soldier to a company commander over the years because of my courage and decisiveness. I never drag my feet when doing things.
Otherwise, Captain Xiao wouldn't have taken a liking to me and promoted me all the way. This also shows that you still don't understand and trust me enough. I was afraid that you would worry about this, so I hurried to come to you after dinner to explain it clearly.
You must learn to trust me in the future. I am the one who will spend your life with you, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Here, this is my allowance for this month. Take it and buy some things for our wedding!"
Zhang Pingping refused and said, "Yueming, you gave me so much money that day. Weddings cost a lot of money. Don't give it to me. Keep it for yourself!"
Du Yueming stuffed the money into her pocket and said, "Be good. Just take it if I tell you to. My parents paid for the wedding and they still have some money. Just take it! I will support you in the future."
Zhang Pingping snuggled happily in Du Yueming's arms, and the two looked forward to a bright future together.
The next day after breakfast, Chu Jingqiu and several other girls got on a ox cart and planned to go to the town to help Zhang Pingping buy wedding supplies.
Jiang Jiang didn't want to stay at home alone and insisted on going with her. Chu Jingqiu had no choice but to take Jiang Jiang into the space while locking the door.
She thought of the meat in the yard and took the opportunity to put it into the space.
When they got on the ox cart, they found that Qin Yilan had already sat on the cart. She was wearing a military coat and a scarf on her head, with only her eyes exposed. She sat there without saying a word.
The three of them looked at each other, and no one paid any attention to Qin Yilan. Qin Yilan acted as if she didn't see them, her eyes staring into the distance.
Chu Jingqiu instructed Jiang Jiang with his mind: "Jiang Jiang, when you get to the town, you focus on monitoring Qin Yilan's movements and see what she is doing in the town."
Jiang Jiang quickly replied, “Okay, Qiuqiu, I promise to complete the task.
Qiuqiu, I just collected a lot of musk from the musk deer, harvested the medicinal fields, and expanded the planting a lot.
I have done so much work for you, can you reward me with a meal of mutton?
Ever since you got Captain Xiao, you haven't liked me anymore. You haven't stewed mutton for me for several days.
I've forgotten what lamb tastes like."
Chu Jingqiu said with a smile: "You clever little ghost, there are so many stewed lambs in the space mall, and you often eat them secretly. Don't think that your sister doesn't know.
Are you jealous of Captain Xiao? I haven't seen him these past few days. Isn't my sister with you every day? "
Jiang Jiang snorted proudly, "In your heart, I must be first and he must be second, only then will I be satisfied.
When you two get married and you have a baby, I will give the first place to the baby, and I will be second, and Captain Xiao will be third."
Chu Jingqiu said with amusement, "Jiang Jiang, if Captain Xiao knew the position you assigned him, he would probably be furious."
The ox cart wobbled into the town. Chu Jingqiu and the other three got off the cart and walked straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Chu Jingqiu went to the watch counter to look for Qian Yunyun.
Qian Yunyun was not busy at the counter. She was sitting there knitting a sweater. Seeing Chu Jingqiu coming, she said happily, "Jingqiu, I haven't seen you in a few days. Have you been busy lately?"
Chu Jingqiu gave Qian Yunyun a net bag containing the eight kinds of Beijing delicacies, preserved fruits, and other things she had brought from Beijing. "I recently went back home a few days ago. These are some local specialties for you. How have you been lately?"
Qian Yunyun didn't bother to be polite. She took it and said with a smile, "It's rare that you still remember your sister. I haven't seen you for so many days. I almost missed you. I'm still the same as always. I go to work and go home, just one line."
When Qian Yunyun heard that Zhang Pingping was coming to buy wedding supplies, she enthusiastically said, "Many people get married in the village in winter, and our supply and marketing cooperative just received a batch of wedding supplies recently.
I'll take you to have a look. Some of them haven't even been put on the counter yet. I guess they will be sold out as soon as they are put on the counter.
Let Pingping choose for herself! Tell me which one you choose and we can go check out directly."
Zhang Pingping picked out a pair of thermoses, a pair of washbasins, two quilt covers, a mattress, two sheets and some other wedding bedding and daily necessities.
Shi Aihong saw rolls of pure cotton fabric with small blue and red checkered patterns nearby, so she asked Qian Yunyun, "These fabrics are very beautiful. Why don't we see any with patterns like these on the counter?"
Qian Yunyun smiled and said, "This is a batch of defective cloth. We usually deal with it internally and don't put it on the counter."
Zhang Pingping walked over and took a look. "Yunyun, I think these fabrics are pretty nice. Can you sell me some? I'm planning to use them to make some quilt covers to wear over my quilt."
Qian Yunyun said without hesitation, "Of course, these cloths are of good quality, but there are some minor flaws in the printing that you won't notice unless you look closely. These cloths don't require cloth coupons. I can buy as much as you want."
Zhang Pingping pulled more than ten meters of red and blue checkered cloth each. Shi Aihong and Chu Jingqiu also followed Zhang Pingping and pulled more than ten meters of red checkered cloth.
Chu Jingqiu planned to knit a sweater for Xiao Yihan, so she went to the wool counter.
Shi Aihong and Zhang Pingping also planned to buy some, as they would have nothing to do during the winter and could knit something for their family.
They used up all the yarn coupons they had and bought a lot of yarn at the yarn counter.
When they walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they were carrying a lot of bags, and each of them was carrying a lot of things. Mainly because Zhang Pingping had a lot of things, Shi Aihong and Chu Jingqiu helped her carry a lot of things.
They first put the things they bought on the ox cart. Zhang Pingping then invited them to a meal at a state-owned restaurant. While they were eating, Jiang Jiang's voice came over, "Qiuqiu, Qin Yilan has been waiting at the gate of the commune for a long time, until noon. Now, she stopped a burly man.
The man took her to a deserted alley nearby, where they were talking.
