Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

"Sister Dong, let's go shopping in other places in the city. Would you like to come with us?" Jiang Jiyun said to Dong Duoyu when he was about to turn around and leave.

After all, Xu Fan needs to stay to take care of household affairs, and it seems inappropriate for Dong Duoyu to stay here.

Dong Duoyu nodded quickly to show his agreement without any hesitation.

In fact, she had already keenly noticed that Xu Fan's mother and sister did not seem to like her very much, and they looked at her with disdain.

In this situation, if I, an outsider, continue to stay here, it will not only make Xu Fan embarrassed, but also be embarrassing for myself.

Xu Fan looked at Dong Duoyu and nodded in agreement, then reached out and held her hand tightly.

Then, he reached into his pocket and took out a thick stack of banknotes, and handed it to Dong Duoyu. "The situation in this city is quite chaotic now. I'm afraid most of the shops have closed down. But there may still be some shops that have not been damaged and will be open today. Take this money with you. If you really come across a shop that is open for business, you can buy what you like. And don't starve yourself, you need to eat well."

Xu Fan frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes softened with a hint of apology, and he whispered to Dong Duoyu again: "I'm sorry, my parents' ideas may be relatively traditional and conservative. Some things happened at home, and it's really not convenient to talk about it in front of you. After all, they are all my family, and I still hope to protect their face as much as possible."

"But please believe me, once all the messy problems at home are solved and those people are cleared out, I will pick you up and formally introduce you to my parents. If my mother and sister give you a cold shoulder or say something unpleasant, you can treat them the same way. There is no need to suffer injustice like today. I will stand behind you."

Last night, Xu Fan was full of joy when he brought Dong Duoyu home, just because he wanted her to meet his parents. However, he didn't expect that the house was now in such a mess, it was simply filled with smoke and foul smells.

Dong Duoyu nodded sympathetically, showing his understanding, and then responded softly: "It's okay with me. I'll stay with Xiaoyun and my uncle first. You can go and deal with your brother-in-law's family without worry. If you feel that you can't bring yourself to deal with them, just call me back to help. I'll teach them a lesson again!"

After saying these words, Dong Duoyu turned around and left with Jiang Jiyun and others, leaving Xu Fan alone to face the pile of difficult troubles at home.

When the Zhang family members lying on the floor in the room heard Dong Duoyu say that he would beat them hard again, their bodies began to tremble with fear again.

Jiang Jiyun and a few others were walking on the street in Dongcheng District that had not suffered large-scale damage.

Looking around, most of the shops had their doors closed, but a few still had their doors open.

"Let's go in and take a look at the dowry prepared for Sister Dong." Jiang Jiyun thought that he had accepted so many precious treasures from Mr. Dong's family, and now he would be worthy of Mr. Dong if he carefully prepared a generous dowry for Sister Dong.

Jiang Jiyuan watched his sister running towards a store like a happy little deer.

I saw that the two high braids on my sister's head, which were tied by my uncle, were swaying, but they were always standing steadily and refused to fall down. They looked like deer antlers no matter how you looked at them.

Jiang Jiyuan couldn't help but secretly admire his uncle's superb craftsmanship. He thought that if it were him, he would probably not be able to tie the braids so straight and smoothly.

When Dong Duoyu heard that this child was actually planning to buy a dowry for herself, she blushed with shame and waved her hand, saying, "No need. I brought a lot of gold jewelry and gold bars from home. The money for the dowry should be enough."

"Just keep the money and treat it as your own private money. After all, since you call me uncle, we are your family. So only the things we buy for you can be considered a real dowry." Jiang Wenming thought to himself that he still had a lot of gold hidden with Xiaoyun.

Thinking back on it, he and Xiaoyun had hidden a lot of treasures together. Even if he wanted to take out some of it to prepare her dowry, it would only be a drop in the bucket. He has always been generous to his family.

Jiang Jiyuan, who was standing behind them, had a clear view of the interaction between his uncle and his sister. He knew clearly in his mind that these two people must have secretly hidden a considerable amount of private money.

However, he did not intend to expose them. Instead, he chose to turn a blind eye and walked slowly past as if nothing had happened.

Because he deeply understood one truth: if you want the cow to work hard willingly, you have to feed it first; only when the cow is full and happy, can it muster up the energy to do more and better work.

Entering the open shop, they saw a man wiping a dusty cabinet.

"Sir, please come in. What would you like to see? My family runs a grocery store, and many goods are missing right now, and there are not many seasonings left." The man hurried up to greet the customer.

Jiang Wenming looked at the shelves and the few things in the wooden box and asked with a twitch of his mouth, "You are the shopkeeper. It doesn't matter whether your shop is open or not!"

"Sir, I'm not the shopkeeper. I'm just a waiter here, helping with cleaning and moving things." The man explained in panic.

Jiang Jiyun saw that this was not the place to buy dowry. He couldn't just buy some salt, oil, soy sauce and vinegar as dowry, right?

Seeing his sister's frustrated look, Jiang Jiyuan smiled and asked the waiter, "Little brother, where can you buy wedding gifts for your children?"

"You're planning to get married. Are you buying wedding dresses, wedding quilts, or furniture?" asked the waiter.

"We want both." Jiang Wenming answered directly.

The waiter nodded and said, "In our city, the family with the best embroidery for wedding gowns is Mrs. Yu's in the north of the city, and the family with the best furniture is Old Man Han's in the south of the city."

"Ah! We are separated! Then let's go to the north of the city first and then to the south of the city." Jiang Jiyun said while holding Dong Duoyu's hand.

"Thank you very much, young man. Let's go to the north of the city now." Jiang Wenming followed the two women, one big and one small, out.

Jiang Jiyuan followed reluctantly, and when they reached the main road where there were not many people around, he parked the car.

A group of people drove to the residential area in the north of the city, and after asking several people, they finally arrived outside the Yu family's yard.

"Excuse me, is Grandma Yu here?" Dong Duoyu knocked on the door and asked loudly.

“Who…what…who is it?” A woman’s trembling and stammering voice came from the room.

"Granny Yu, we are here to buy wedding dresses and quilts!" Jiang Jiyun shouted while lying in the gap of the wooden door.
