Chapter 9 Going to the County Town



"It seems that Mom thinks that ten dollars a month is too little for me."

"In that case, I won't have to send money home anymore. You can separate my husband and me and we'll live separately."

"It will save my mother from being displeased with my wife."

Xu Lei didn't really want to split up the family.

The main reason was that he was not at home and Jiang Yuzhu was alone, so he was worried.

The military family housing complex has not been completed yet.

But after he returns, he has to apply quickly.

So that we can pick them up sooner.

I bring this up now just to scare me.

After so many years, I still can't figure out my mother's temper.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Xu heard her son say that he would not give her the ten yuan, her eyes widened and she said, "That's not possible!"

Seeing that the third son looked unhappy, Mrs. Xu changed her tactics.

"Third brother, you are going to drive me to death!"

"Mom knows you've been angry these years, but you can't just ignore the family."

"Your fourth brother hasn't gotten married yet, and your younger sister is already a grown-up girl, and she'll soon be married. You..."

How could the old lady not know her son's temper?

The third child has been stubborn since childhood. She admitted that there are many children in the family, so it is inevitable that there will be bias.

But this is normal. Every family is like this. When you stretch out five fingers, some are long and some are short. How can you tell them apart so clearly?

"Mom." Xu Lei emphasized his tone.

"I'm already 26, almost 30, so you should think about me."

"You don't want the wife I finally married to be bullied and run away by you guys, do you?"

"I spent 500 yuan to marry this wife. If she doesn't want to live with me anymore, I can marry another one, but the price won't be the same."

"Consider the money you have and see if it's enough to marry me a wife."

"If you don't want to spend money to buy me a new wife, then treat her well."

Everyone knows that Xu Lei spent 500 yuan on a betrothal gift to marry his wife. No one else would ask for less, they would only ask for more.

After saying that, Xu Lei left.

The old lady was speechless.

She doesn't have the money to buy a new wife for the third son.

The fourth child and daughter in the family still need gifts and dowries.

How could I let the third brother spend it all?

Over the years, she has lived frugally and taken care of the whole family, and has finally saved so much money.

Almost half of the money has been spent on finding a wife for the third son.

It seems that the fourth brother is about to get a wife.

This third brother!

She was so angry that she was dying. It was all a sin!

Xu Lei didn't want to treat her mother like this, after all, she was his biological mother.

But for so many years, his interests have been sacrificed, who wouldn't complain?

He didn't get married until he was twenty-six.

By that time, my eldest brother's children were already helping out with the housework.

When he found out that his mother had chosen a daughter-in-law for him who was honest and came from a poor family.

But when the fourth brother asked around and found out that all the wives he found were top-notch in all aspects, he felt disappointed.

So when Jiang Yuzhu asked for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, he agreed without hesitation.

He will not shirk his filial duties in the future, but that is all.

After Jiang Yuzhu heard Old Lady Xu call Xu Lei into the house, she kept paying attention to the movements over there.

When he saw Xu Lei coming out, he quickly pretended nothing had happened and started folding clothes.

Xu Lei saw Jiang Yuzhu rummaging through the clothes.

"Pack up and let's go to the county town."

Now that you have married someone, you have to take responsibility.

Marry a man and you will have clothes to wear and food to eat.

Of course you have to pamper your own wife.

"Ah?" Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyes and looked at Xu Lei.

This was the first time she looked directly into the other person's eyes in the sun.

It was so dark last night. I only remember a twinkling star in the darkness.

The contours of the facial features are strong.

I was so busy arguing this morning that I didn't look at it carefully.

This time I saw it for real.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that are slightly pursed.

He is about 1.8 meters tall and has an imposing aura.

"I'm taking you to buy some food. I ate the egg cake from yesterday, so I'll buy you some more. By the way... I'll buy you two more clothes."

"Okay." She had never been to a county town in this era.

I'm curious what it looks like.

The two of them walked out of the room one after the other.

Xu Lei walked to Mrs. Xu's window and said, "Mom, I'm taking Yuzhu out for a while. You don't have to bring us lunch."

When Mrs. Xu saw the third son and his wife leave the house, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Mom, are my third brother and sister-in-law out?" Xu Meili was also stunned.

"What a sin! I shouldn't have agreed to let this evildoer into the family. Look how he has bewitched your third brother." Old Mrs. Xu regretted it so much.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm here with you." Xu Meili held Old Lady Xu's arm.

"Luckily I have you. My daughter is so thoughtful."

The two walked on the path. At first, Jiang Yuzhu was curious and looked around.

She hadn't walked far before she couldn't walk anymore.

She was originally a food anchor, so she didn't exercise much.

I usually drive when I go out, so I don’t need to walk more than a few steps.

Now I feel uncomfortable walking.

The bumpy gravel road hurts my feet.

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu was walking slower and slower, Xu Lei knew that she could no longer walk.

He was used to walking, so this short distance was nothing to him. He forgot that no girl could compare to him, a soldier.

If we walk slowly, maybe we can come across Uncle Niu’s donkey cart.

Jiang Yuzhu nodded.

After a while, a sound came from behind.
