On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 2 Dowry
Wen Ci returned to the Jiang family compound.

When they returned to the city from the countryside, Jiang Chen disliked the tattered clothes in Wen Ci's home, so he only bought her a new set of clothes when they arrived in the city.

Now that her clothes were wet and she had nothing else to wear, Wen Ci couldn't help but shiver as she sat on the sofa in the living room, even though it was springtime.

Seeing her eldest son standing there unmoved, Su Guilan couldn't help but kick him and yell, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go buy your sister some new clothes!"

"Why don't you let my sister wear my clothes first?" Suddenly, a sweet and soft voice rang out from the stairwell, and Jiang Ye walked down in a little white dress.

"My sister and I have similar body types, so she should be able to wear my clothes too."

"Yes, Mom, let Wen Ci wear A Ye's clothes first."

Jiang Chen quickly chimed in agreement.

Su Guilan gave him a fierce scrutinizing look, and Jiang Chen had no choice but to leave. When his gaze fell on Wen Ci, it was filled with pity and tenderness. He said softly:

“Aci, if you don’t want to go to the Northwest, then have Xiao Huo write a divorce petition tomorrow.”

"Hmm?" Wen Ci frowned. How did they end up filing for divorce? Suddenly, she remembered what the man had said on the shore.

"It's your husband."

Wen Ci's face turned bright red. Recalling his voice, she remembered it as a deep, magnetic, and captivating voice that could bewitch people.

"Sister, why is your face red?"

Wen Ci coughed twice with his head down, and Su Guilan said nervously, "I've already asked your Aunt Wang to make ginger soup."

As she spoke, she looked up at Jiang Ye and said, "Do you have any clothes in your closet that you haven't worn yet? If you do, take them down. If not, bring over a set of pajamas."

"some……"

The sound of ginger leaves was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Wen Ci asked, "What's the deal with writing a divorce application?"

Su Guilan bit her lower lip, and after thinking it over again and again, she decided to tell her biological daughter the truth. She said nervously, "Your household registration book is in the countryside. It was sent over a few days ago and you got your marriage certificate."

Wen Ci: ...

She was speechless and didn't know what to say.

After a while, Wen Ci's eyes widened, and she asked, "I want to ask, do you still stand by what you said in the teahouse?"

"What?"

"If you give me a thousand yuan as a dowry."

She was a little out of sorts when she first transmigrated and thought that the man she was marrying in place of was some kind of military rogue. But she didn’t expect him to be such a handsome soldier!

No, it seems he's still an officer from the Northwest region.

If she had told them what her substitute bride looked like earlier, why would she have jumped into the river?

Isn't being a wife great?!
However, what Wen Ci hadn't expected was that she was now a married woman. She and Officer Huo had obtained a marriage certificate, although she hadn't received her own.

Su Guilin was stunned. "Didn't you say you didn't want to get married?"

Wen Ci chuckled, "I suddenly think the Northwest is pretty good too, Huo..." She paused, still unaware of her husband's name.

"What's his name?"

You mean Huo Jingyuan?

"Huo Jingyuan?"

Su Guilan walked to the desk not far from the living room, picked up a brush and wrote Huo Jingyuan's name on a piece of paper, assuming that Wen Ci was illiterate.

The original owner didn't even finish junior high school. In most rural families, girls would stop supporting their education after finishing junior high school.

"So it's this Jingyuan." Wen Ci murmured to herself. Su Guilan didn't hear what Wen Ci said, but she went upstairs and then walked to Wen Ci's side, stuffing a purse into her arms.

“Mom keeps her word. There’s 1500 yuan in here, and the gold bracelet your grandma left you before she died. It’s all your dowry.”

The gold bracelet was originally intended as a wedding gift for Jiang Ye.

However, the gold bracelet had a special meaning and was passed down from his ancestors. After learning that Jiang Ye was not his biological daughter, he gave up the idea of ​​giving the bracelet to her.

Su Guilan glanced at the stairs and saw that Jiang Ye hadn't come down yet. She leaned closer to Wen Ci and whispered, "Aci, you must remember that the gold bracelet cannot be sold until the very last step. Also, after you have a child, the gold bracelet will only be passed down to the daughter, not the son."

Wen Ci nodded.

No wonder she felt the purse was so heavy.

It turned out she had a bracelet.

Jiang Ye took a new set of pajamas downstairs, and Aunt Wang brought out a steaming bowl of ginger soup from the kitchen, smiling gently: "Ginger soup should be drunk while it's hot."

Aunt Wang was a child raised by the elders of the Jiang family.

They are not servants, but part of the Jiang family.

Wen Ci changed into a silk nightgown, holding a porcelain bowl in both hands. The ginger soup was freshly cooked and steaming, and the calluses on her hands felt the temperature was just right.

Wen Ci blew on the ginger soup twice, took a sip, and felt much warmer instantly. A smile spread across her face: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, for making me ginger soup."

I learned this from the original owner's memories.

After returning to the Jiang family, only Aunt Wang cared about her the most.

Therefore, her affection for Aunt Wang increased even more.
-
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Su Guilan stood up from the sofa. Her eldest son wasn't very polite, so the person knocking must be a guest.

Su Guilan glanced at Jiang Ye, and Jiang Ye immediately went upstairs.

Normally, Jiang Ye was pampered at home and rarely played with the other children in the compound. The compound only knew that the Jiang family had a fair-skinned and beautiful daughter.

As for his appearance, he has never publicly revealed his face.

Outside the door, Huo Jingyuan stood ramrod straight, as if on guard duty. After returning home, he changed into a casual suit, revealing his tanned skin and excellent health.

Su Guilan smiled broadly: "Little Huo, you've arrived."

Strictly speaking, Huo Jingyuan is already her son-in-law, it's just that Wen Ci's household registration is not with the Jiang family.

Huo Jingyuan said indifferently, "Aunt Jiang."

Huo Jingyuan's gaze fell on Wen Ci, who was wearing a silk nightgown on the sofa, and his eyes made no attempt to hide his gaze.

Wen Ci met Huo Jingyuan's eyes. His dark eyes were unfathomable. She knew she had seen too many capable men in the apocalypse.

Huo Jingyuan sat down directly next to Wen Ci and said bluntly, "I only have three days off this time I'm going back to the capital." He then glanced at Wen Ci and asked:

“You originally had a rural household registration. After we get married, you can choose to transfer your household registration to the Huo family, or keep your rural household registration and open a separate account for you.”

Wen Ci replied, "Open a separate account!"

Many people nowadays are striving for urban residency, but Wen Ci knows that each type of residency has its own advantages, and having one rural and one urban residency is the best.

Huo Jingyuan nodded: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Su Guilan quickly interjected, "No, no, Aci's household registration cannot be registered in the countryside; it must be registered in the city."

If Huo Jingyuan refuses to grant Wen Ci an urban household registration, then unless Jiang Ye is kicked out of the Jiang family, Wen Ci will never have another chance to obtain an urban household registration.

"I'll choose rural household registration," Wen Ci said.

She couldn't explain it in a short time, so she thought for a moment and decided to change the subject, "What's the Northwest Military Region Family Compound like? Is it very desolate?"
