Lu Chen was so angry at Cheng Mingyue's rude behavior that his teeth itched. He had thought that she had changed a little, but he didn't expect that in less than a day, her true colors were revealed.
And the most ironic thing is that the marriage certificate in his pocket is not even warm.
In fact, Lu Chen had already written the letter. He had wanted to take a leave yesterday afternoon to come to the town to mail the letter, but after agreeing to marry Cheng Mingyue, he gave up the idea of sending the letter.
Today, when he saw Cheng Mingyue spend more than ten yuan to buy clothes for him, the idea of sending a letter came back to him. He didn't expect Cheng Mingyue to treat him like that in the street.
Lu Chen's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Cheng Mingyue acted as if she didn't notice Lu Chen's expression. She continued to tease Cheng Xiaohu in her arms, peeling candies for him and kissing his pink and tender little face from time to time, making Xiaohu giggle.
When Lu Chen heard their laughter, his face turned even darker.
Although the speed of the tractor was not as fast as a car, it was much faster than their previous Route 11 bus.
Soon, they returned to Zhang Lan's home in Lianhua Village.
"You guys go sit at my house first, I'm going to return the tractor." Zhang Deshun said to Cheng Mingyue and the others with a smile.
Cheng Mingyue grabbed two handfuls of White Rabbit candies from the bag and handed the rest to Zhang Deshun. "Uncle Zhang, take these candies and give them to your village chief. After all, the tractor burns a lot of oil going back and forth."
Zhang Deshun refused again and again, but finally couldn't persuade Cheng Mingyue anymore, so he put the candy next to the seat and drove away on the tractor.
Everyone in the house ran out when they heard the sound of the tractor.
Naturally, they also heard what Cheng Mingyue said. No one said anything, but they all admired Cheng Mingyue for being generous.
After sitting at Zhang Lan's house for a while, Cheng Mingyue got up and said goodbye.
Zhang Lan's parents wanted to invite them to dinner, but Cheng Mingyue refused, saying that they had just received their marriage certificate and were anxious to go home and tell their parents.
The Zhang couple didn't try to keep him.
They knew that according to village rules, newly married couples had to invite acquaintances in the village to dinner, so they must be busy at home.
The brothers Cheng Xiangnan and Cheng Xiangdong had been unable to sit still for a long time. If they had not been waiting for them to come back, they would have already returned to the Baihe Brigade.
The two of them had been away for less than two days, and so many things had happened at home. It was only right that they had to go back home to take a look.
The two brothers, along with Cheng Mingyue, all turned their attention to their sisters-in-law Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan has always had a fiery personality. She glared at Cheng Xiangnan and said, "Why are you looking at us? Now that our misunderstanding with my younger sister has been resolved, it's natural for us to go back with her. It would be inappropriate for us not to go back for my younger sister's wedding."
Zhang Hongying also agreed: "We really have to go back. We still have to help mother with the arrangements."
"That's right. There's nothing a family can't solve. Even the tongue and teeth can't fight each other."
Zhang Lan's mother held Cheng Mingyue in one hand and Zhang Lan in the other, with a kind smile on her face.
Zhang Lan's father changed his usual cheerful demeanor, glared at Zhang Lan, and scolded her with a stern face:
"Go back and live a good life with Xiangnan. Don't go to your mother's house for no reason. It will make the villagers look bad."
Zhang Lan just pouted and responded.
"Dad and Mom, don't worry. Lan Zi and I will definitely live a good life when we get back. Don't worry."
Cheng Xiangnan held Xiaohu in his arms, patted Zhang Lan's shoulder, and said to the Zhang couple with a smile.
In fact, this incident was caused by Cheng Mingyue. Cheng Xiangnan was afraid that his sister would be embarrassed, so saying this could be considered as an apology on his sister's behalf.
Although Cheng Mingyue had already apologized before riding the tractor, she still stood up and said solemnly again:
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, I was confused before and acted rudely towards my eldest and second sisters-in-law. Now I really realize my mistake. From now on, my eldest and second sisters-in-law are my real sisters. I will never act like a fool again."
Seeing that Cheng Mingyue was sincere in admitting her mistake, the Zhang couple didn't say anything more and happily sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, why don't I go to your house to apologize to my uncle and aunt..." After a while, Cheng Mingyue turned around and said to Zhang Hongying who was following her.
"No need, let's go back quickly. Mom and Dad might be waiting anxiously at home now."
Zhang Hongying said very understandingly.
The more Zhang Hongying acted like this, the more uncomfortable Cheng Mingyue felt, and she became more determined to get along well with them in the future.
I don’t know if it was because they were all together, but they chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the Baihe Brigade.
When they were almost at Cheng Mingyue's house, Lu Chen said in a low voice: "Cheng Mingyue, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Mingyue was chatting and laughing with her two sisters-in-law all the way, and had long forgotten about Lu Chen. Now, looking at his gloomy face, she remembered that she had pulled him in front of the supply and marketing cooperative before.
Cheng Mingyue touched her nose uncomfortably and followed Lu Chen to a secluded place. "What's wrong, Lu Zhiqing? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Chen didn't say anything. He took out two pieces of paper and a pen from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Mingyue.
Cheng Mingyue took the paper and looked at it. It had the words "Marriage Agreement" written on it. Below it were two large pages of densely written words with more than 30 clauses.
Cheng Mingyue read each one carefully, and the more she read, the more she wanted to laugh.
It clearly stated that the agreement was for five years, during which Cheng Mingyue must unconditionally provide him with all his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
And the most important thing is that during the five-year period, they are only nominally husband and wife and are absolutely not allowed to have any substantive relationship. It is even clearly stated in the brackets that no physical contact is allowed.
The compensation plan for violating any of the rules is clearly marked below: money, and the price varies depending on the severity of the violation.
Although Cheng Mingyue had no feelings towards Lu Chen at all, the more she read the treaty, the more she found it funny.
Does Lu Chen think of himself as a monster?
Is she that horny?
Or did Lu Chen treat himself as a duck with a fixed price?
This is what Cheng Mingyue thought in her heart and asked directly:
"Lu Zhiqing, who do you think I, Cheng Mingyue, am I really so shameless as to be unable to walk just because I see a man?
And what do you think you are, a duck with a fixed price?"
Lu Chen didn't understand why Cheng Mingyue was so angry, nor did he understand what the "duck" she was talking about was. But looking at Cheng Mingyue's contemptuous eyes, this duck was definitely not the duck he knew.
Without waiting for Lu Chen to ask, Cheng Mingyue continued, "Besides, we already have a marriage certificate. Even if I don't sign it, what can you do to me?"
