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

Mrs. Zhu hit those people with a broom, "Speak up, speak up, speak up. Sugar is so expensive now, why should we give it to you, the chatterboxes? Get out of here now."

"Oh, you've hit a sore spot. Everyone knows that Zhijun was just adopted. When he was little, he was beaten and scolded by your Zhu family."

"Now that he's grown up and finally joined the army to show his potential, you guys are threatening his life, forcing him to retire and marry a widowed sister-in-law who's ten years older than him, who not only has a child by her side, but is also pregnant."

"You, the Zhu family, can do whatever you want to Zhijun. Be careful of retribution in the future."

Zhu Zhijun's face became even uglier. He stood there, subconsciously clenching his fists, without saying a word.

Shen Jingming's eyes darkened slightly. Although he guessed that the other party's reason for changing careers was unusual, he did not expect that the Zhu family would be so excessive.

Xu Manyue on the side pursed her lips and her eyes fell on the woman next to Zhu Zhijun.

Although she looked old and haggard, her youthful beauty could still be seen.

She looks like a capable woman.

Huang Xiujuan lowered her head in shame, "...Zhijun, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Otherwise, let's forget about this marriage. I'm not worthy of you. You deserve better."

If her mother-in-law hadn't threatened her life and her family hadn't threatened her, she would have dragged a man along like this.

Especially since Zhijun grew up under her care. It is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If she had a choice, she would never marry her younger brother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhu glared at her fiercely, rushed over and twisted Huang Xiujuan's body several times, "No, you two must get married today."

Then she pointed at Zhu Zhijun and said, "And you, I worked so hard to raise you. If you know how to be grateful, you should take good care of the children left behind by your eldest brother."

"Now that your eldest brother is gone, how is your sister-in-law going to survive with so many children without a job? If you don't marry her, how will she take care of these children?"

Zhu Zhijun had a blank expression on his face, but his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.

Huang Xiujuan glanced at the man and couldn't stop crying. She hardened her heart and rushed towards the wall.

"Mom, please stop pushing him. If you continue pushing him, I'll just die."

Everyone's face changed drastically. At the critical moment, Zhu Zhijun hurriedly stopped them and said, "Enough, stop talking. I want to marry her, I want to marry her!"

Shen Jingming frowned slightly and looked up at Zhu Zhijun.

Marrying the other person would be equivalent to giving up his entire life. Even so, is he willing to do so?

Zhu Zhijun was silent for a long time. "Jingming, you go back first. I won't keep you and your sister-in-law here."

He naturally knew what the other party meant, but this was his life, and he owed it to the Zhu family.

Not everyone can give up everything easily, at least he can't.

Shen Jingming pursed his thin lips into a line, his eyes were complicated, and he seemed to have something to say.

But seeing the pleading and embarrassment in Zhu Zhijun's eyes, he finally said nothing.

"Okay, if you need anything in the future, just tell me."

In the end, Shen Jingming took out the wedding gift money for Zhu Zhijun, gave it to him, and left with Xu Manyue.

After the two left Liu's house, they could still hear various discussions around them, all about Zhu Zhijun and his sister-in-law.

After walking out for a long time, Xu Manyue could even sense that the man was in a good mood.

After a long time, Shen Jingming slowly spoke, his tone slightly low and barely noticeable.

"The scar on Zhijun's face was left when he saved me on the battlefield. I also saved his life once. We had a good relationship in the army."

"He could have been promoted after returning from this mission, but no one expected that he would suddenly choose to change his career."

"It wasn't until a few days ago when I received his wedding invitation that I learned the reason for his career change."

"I brought you to his wedding today because I thought he was doing well. But I never thought things would turn out like this."

Xu Manyue listened to Shen Jingming quietly, feeling a little complicated.

Zhu Zhijun is obviously too sentimental. If he can't make up his mind, he will probably be dragged down by Mrs. Zhu and those children for the rest of his life.

As for the wife he married, she was too soft-hearted to stand on her own feet, and would only be manipulated by others in the future.

In a couple, one of them must be able to stand on his own feet, so these two people are simply not suitable to live together.

Next, the two went to a nearby department store and first bought half a pound of brown sugar, a bag of hard candy, and a bag of osmanthus cake, as gifts for Xu Manyue's second uncle's family tomorrow.

Shen Jingming glanced at the things in his hand and said, "Look and see if there's anything else you're missing. It's a good opportunity to buy them all at once."

"No need, these gifts are already heavy enough." Xu Manyue shook her head.

These things are extremely valuable whether you are visiting relatives in the city or in the countryside.

Especially brown sugar, brown sugar tickets are scarce, and even people with jobs in the city may not be able to get much, let alone people in the countryside.

When someone comes to your house, serving them a bowl of brown sugar water is definitely a sign of respect for the guest.

The Shen family only had two taels of brown sugar locked in the cabinet in the old lady's room, and she usually didn't want to drink it herself.

This time, Shen Jingming gave half a pound of gift. This gift was already very valuable, not to mention there was also a bag of hard candy and a bag of osmanthus cake.

Shen Jingming thought for a moment and said, "When you go back, get a few more eggs from home and bring them with you tomorrow."

Eggs are the hard currency when visiting relatives and friends in rural areas. During this period, it would be helpful to bring a few eggs with you to nourish their bodies.

Xu Manyue looked up at him, her eyebrows curved, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She was naturally happy to see that he was generous to her relatives.

After all, this way my second uncle and the others can feel at ease.

After buying things to take to Uncle Xu's house tomorrow, Shen Jingming looked at the area that sold women's clothing and said, "You can go over and pick out a few pieces too. You don't have to save money for me."

He still has money to buy clothes for his wife.

Xu Manyue nodded, walked over obediently and picked out two floral shirts and a pair of pants.

After she made her choice, she looked up and found that Shen Jingming took out a light pink floral dress, put it in her hand, and spoke seriously.

"This skirt suits you very well. Take it together."
