Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Guihua Hutong, a slum.

Soon the two arrived here and parked their bicycles in a yard.

This is where Shen Jingming’s comrades live.

After getting off the car, Xu Manyue looked up and around. The courtyard was dilapidated and dusty, and there were many families living around it.

These people looked at the two of them curiously, especially some older aunts and ladies, whose gazes were even more unscrupulous, and some even whispered to each other.

"Are these two people here to attend Zhijun's wedding?"

"It looks like he should be, especially the man in military uniform. Zhijun just retired and returned from military service. I guess they are still comrades-in-arms."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that woman is so lucky. Her husband died and she had a child, but she was able to remarry her brother-in-law. Zhijun has a job and is capable."

"Tell me, why is the Zhu family so foolish that they insist on forcing their brother-in-law to marry his widowed sister-in-law?"

"Why else could it be? The Zhu family lost their biological son, leaving behind so many children. Mrs. Zhu must have found someone to help her raise her grandchildren."

"So that's how it is. But that Liu Hongjuan is really something. A woman who married a pair of brothers, isn't she ashamed?"

"If it were me, I would have hanged myself with a rope long ago."

Xu Manyue could hear clearly the whispers around her.

It is not uncommon for women to remarry their brother-in-law these days, but it is still rare.

But Shen Jingming has always been a cold person. The fact that he brought her here shows that he has a special relationship with his comrade-in-arms.

"Let's go." Shen Jingming parked his bicycle and strode over.

"Zhijun has helped me a lot before, and I have a good relationship with him in the army."

"I was also surprised when he suddenly changed his career and came back to get married, but we still had to go to his wedding. We just had to listen to what he said."

Xu Manyue nodded, "I know."

Where there are many people, there are always right and wrong. Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true.

Soon, the two arrived at a cramped little courtyard with almost no place to step.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the room of less than a few dozen square meters was packed with more than a dozen people, old and young, all squeezed together.

There were also four or five children in tattered clothes, with bare dirty feet, picking their noses and blowing snot bubbles, all looking at the two of them.

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment. There was not even a red wedding character posted in this place. It didn't look like a wedding at all.

Shen Jingming frowned slightly. It was indeed this place.

At this time, an old woman limped out from inside and looked Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming up and down.

When the old woman saw the military uniform the other person was wearing, she grinned instantly and quickly invited him into the house.

"Comrade, you are Zhijun's comrade, right? Come on, come in quickly. Zhijun is going to pick up his sister-in-law... No, now I should say he is going to pick up his wife."

"Just wait a little longer, they will probably be back soon."

Although the widowed sister-in-law remarried her younger brother-in-law, and both of them were in the Liu family, in order to avoid gossip from outsiders, they still went to her parents' home to pick her up.

Shen Jingming looked inside the house and found that there was no place to stand. Only standing in the yard was slightly better and could accommodate people.

"No, we'll wait here."

Mrs. Zhu's smile froze, then returned to normal.

"Okay, okay, I'll get you some stools.

After she finished speaking, she turned and went into the house. In less than a moment, all kinds of cursing sounds were heard.

"One or two, didn't you see any guests coming? No one called you. What did you usually teach?"

After a while, Mrs. Zhu came out with two stools and placed them next to Xu Manyue, her eyes always glancing at her butt.

"This girl is your wife, right? She's so pretty. Look at her waist and butt. She'll definitely give birth to a son."

"By the way, how many children do you have?"

If they don't have children, and they happen to have many children at home, it's not a bad idea to give them a few girls.

Xu Manyue felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her so unscrupulously, so she took a step back and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Shen Jingming pulled her behind him, blocking Mrs. Zhu's sight, and said, "Aunt, go and do your work. Don't worry about us."

Mrs. Zhu smiled awkwardly and looked away, "That's fine. You are guests, how can I let you stay outside?"

"Come on, both of you sit down, I'll get you some water."

Xu Manyue was about to sit down, but when she looked down, she saw that the stool was covered with thick dust and snot.

She felt a little nauseous and just stood there without looking.

Logically speaking, if there is a soldier in the family, the living conditions should be better than those of ordinary families, but the Liu family is completely the opposite.

There are few houses in the countryside that are dirtier, more chaotic and cramped than the Liu family.

Especially today is the day when the Zhu family is getting married. Although every household is having a hard time now, at least the necessary cleaning should be done.

Shen Jingming lowered his head and saw the things on the two stools. He pursed his thin lips into a line, and there was an ambiguous look in his eyes.

The two stood in the Zhu family yard for a while, and finally waited for Zhu Zhijun to come back on a bicycle with his new wife.

He was tall and burly, with a hideous scar at the corner of his eye, which was almost enough to cut through his eyeball. He exuded a murderous aura.

On the back seat of the bicycle was a thin and frail woman.

The woman wore a red silk flower on her head, her face was pale and thin, and she didn't have a pound of flesh on her body, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Jingming, why are you here?"

As soon as Zhu Zhijun entered the yard and saw Shen Jingming, he was stunned.

The four or five children in the house rushed to the woman's side and pulled her clothes, "Mom, I want some candy."

"Mom, I want some candy too~"

The chattering sounds of children rang out one after another.

The woman raised her hand and touched this child, then that child, then looked up at Zhu Zhijun with some embarrassment.

Zhu Zhijun ignored the woman and looked at Shen Jingming and Xu Manyue with some embarrassment.

"I'm telling you a joke."

Shen Jingming glanced at the four or five children and said nothing more. "It's okay. I heard you were getting married today, so I brought my wife to see you."

He turned sideways to look at Xu Manyue and briefly introduced the two of them, "This is my comrade from the army. He has now transferred to the Public Security Bureau. You can just call him Brother Liu."

"Brother Zhu, this is my wife Xu Manyue."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Hello, Brother Zhu."

Zhu Zhijun looked at her and smiled, "You and your sister-in-law are a perfect match. One is pretty, and the other is capable."

Unlike him, his life will probably be like this, not to mention a beautiful wife, now even

At this time, several children did not get any candy and started crying loudly. Some of them rolled on the ground, and the crying sounds rang out one after another.

Some aunties gathered in the yard to watch the fun, "Zhijun, your son and daughter are crying, why don't you go and comfort them? Be careful, the new daughter-in-law won't let you go to bed tonight, and your son won't support you in your old age."

"Yeah, they didn't even give out wedding candy. You have a formal job, but how can you be so stingy?"

The people around him were talking to each other, and Zhu Zhijun's face turned red.

Especially since his comrades were here, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Who would have known that it wasn't that he was stingy, but that he gave all his belongings to his adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhu.

Naturally, there wasn't much money to buy things for the wedding.
