Military marriage, after refusing to support an ungrateful person, it is really sweet to marry the c

"What are you talking about? How can it be reasonable for the bride's family to pay for the wedding?"

Chen Juxiang jumped up suddenly. She had just lost a huge sum of 300 yuan. Her heart was so painful that she couldn't breathe. She also wanted to let Zhan Hongyan marry Li Jian, so she asked for some betrothal gifts to reduce some losses.

"Sister Li, you northerners don't know our southern customs. Here, the man gives money to the woman's family. Li Jian has two children to raise. I know it's difficult for him, but he is a widower with two children and his wife died. My Hongyan is an unmarried girl. She married to be a stepmother. After all, Li Jian is a good match for my Hongyan. It's only right that you give more betrothal gifts."

When Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan were not around, Chen Juxiang became bolder and more talkative. She walked around Liu Ruyan, looking her up and down, left and right, as if she were looking at a commodity.

"Sister Li, you are not young anymore, but you are still pretty. Why don't I find a matchmaker for you and ask for some gifts for your brother's marriage?"

"My last name is Liu, the same as my mother's. My name is Ruyan. Don't call me the eldest sister of the Li family. I'm not old." Liu Ruyan is thirty-two years old this year. Although she has maintained herself well, she is old after all. She hates being called the eldest sister the most.

Chen Juxiang said with a fake smile: "Okay, okay, Comrade Liu Ruyan, what do you think of what I just said? It's not nice for you, an older sister-in-law, to always live in your brother's house. You should get married soon."

Without waiting for Liu Ruyan to refute, Li Jian could no longer sit still and said loudly: "I will always support her."

The two children also hugged Liu Ruyan's calves and wanted to hug her, fearing that Liu Ruyan would really get married.

Liu Ruyan was weak, so she held the little Li Shenxing in her arms, and held Li Jinyan with her other hand, with a proud expression on her face: "I have been raising these two children since they were born, and they are close to me."

"Sister Hongyan, if you really want to marry Xiaojian, then show your sincerity. We have to go to work. Come back to me after you have discussed it."

After saying this, he smiled contemptuously, put his youngest son in Li Jian's arms, and walked away in a leisurely manner holding Li Jinyan's hand.

As soon as they left, Chen Juxiang grabbed Zhan Hongyan's ear and said, "You cheap girl, you acted like you were worthless and insisted on marrying Li Jian. Now you're being bullied. Where is the money left in the family for you?"

Chen Juxiang's hair was disheveled and she was furious, like a defeated hen who could only vent her anger on her chicks.

"Mom, mom, please stop hitting me. Give me 50 and I swear that Li Jian will make a fortune. I will buy you the best clothes and the biggest house." Zhan Hongyan squatted down to avoid Chen Juxiang's hand.

"There are only 75 yuan left in the family. Talk to your dad and don't ask me." This trick worked every time. Chen Juxiang was persuaded, but she didn't dare to make the decision about the last few dozen yuan in the family. She had to wait for Zhan Aiguo to come back to discuss it.

Different from the chaos here, Zhan Xinyue sat in Sheng Tunan's car in silence.

Earlier, Sheng Tunan caught up with Zhan Xinyue and proposed to her without thinking twice. He even quickly picked a bunch of wild roses from the side of the road and stuffed them into Zhan Xinyue's arms.

At this time, members of the cooperative came out from the brigade with farm tools one after another, and everyone smiled kindly when they saw them. Compared with the sneaky Zhan Hongyan, everyone had a much better impression of Zhan Xinyue.

There were many people on the road, and Zhan Xinyue didn't know how to refuse. Just then, Sheng Tunan drove back and they got in the car.

Sheng Tunan drove the car to the middle of the mountain. It was quiet here, with only the sounds of birds singing and bees collecting honey.

After a long while, Zhan Xinyue finally spoke: "Captain Sheng, I am sick and cannot marry you."
