Sister Shen smiled awkwardly, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and search her body for a long time before taking out two cents.

She quickly stood up and stuffed two cents into Shen Jingming's pocket.

"Third brother, it's not easy for your eldest sister and your brother-in-law to raise five children over the years. Don't think it's too little. It's a token of your appreciation. Take it."

"Don't be polite to Big Sister."

You know what, look at what she said, she acted like she was worth two dollars even though she was only talking about two cents.

The old lady standing by felt that this girl was most like her and was as shameless as her.

However, he is a little weaker in momentum and is still not as good as her as a mother.

Shen Jingming took out two cents and put it back into Sister Shen's hand. "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are in financial difficulty. I don't want these two cents. You can take it back."

When Shen Jianping heard it was two cents, his eyes widened instantly and he hurried over to take a look, "Brother, second brother, mother, come over and take a look, it really is two cents."

These days, two cents is still one cent short of buying an egg.

When the eldest sister got married, the third brother gave her all his private savings as a dowry and also specially gave her a silver bracelet.

Tsk tsk tsk, after getting married and having children, people start to scheme.

The old lady slapped Shen Jianping on the head and said, "What are you yelling about? Your elder sister didn't bring any gifts. She will make up for it in a few days."

Boss Shen saw through it but didn't say anything. Even though his mother didn't like his eldest sister's family coming to ask for money, she still loved her in her heart.

Otherwise, with seven mouths in their family, it would be impossible for them to get through the door easily.

Boss Shen raised his hand and patted Shen Jingming's shoulder. "Your sister-in-law and I don't have anything good to give you. She made a pair of pillowcases herself. They're not good things, so don't despise them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Shen took out a pair of pillowcases from the house. They were embroidered with big red wedding characters and some beautiful patterns.

She handed it over with a smile, "Third brother, I embroidered this myself. It will be useful tonight."

Shen Jingming took the things and said, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law."

Shen Lao Er coughed lightly and glanced at his wife.

Shen Laoer's wife nodded to him and took out a piece of cloth from the house.

"Third brother, your second brother and I don't have anything good. Take this piece of cloth back and ask your sister-in-law to make you a piece of clothing or a pair of pants."

Shen Jingming's expression relaxed slightly as he took the things and said, "Thank you, second brother and second sister-in-law."

Before he joined the army, he had the best relationship with his second brother. Now, so many years have passed, and although he is a little unfamiliar with his family, they are still a family after all.

Even Shen Jianping, who was single, gave one dollar as a wedding gift.

In fact, in their place, there is no need to give additional gifts until the family splits up. However, considering that this family is basically supported by the third brother alone, they still prepared something.

Li Daquan was a little embarrassed. He tugged at the corner of his wife's clothes and whispered, "Wife, we still have a few dollars at home. How about we go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some things for the third child?"

Sister Shen pulled his hand away and glared at him fiercely.

Buy everything. The family only has a savings of 3.6 yuan, and it’s all spent on buying things as gifts. How can the children in the family survive?

Besides, he is her own brother. They are family and there is no need to worry about any formalities.

The old lady was simply unable to bear the sight. She took back what she had said. This old girl was simply stupid and not like her at all.

Not as smart as the boss and the others.

While eating.

The whole family didn't remember that there was a person in the new house who hadn't eaten.

Xu Manyue sat there waiting for most of the day, but no one came to bring her food.

She was so hungry that she stood up, gently opened the door, and looked outside. She didn't see anyone, but only heard various voices.

Could it be that Shen Jingming really forgot about her?

Xu Manyue sighed and sat back on the bed.

On the other side, the Shen family started to eat at the table.

There were too many people, one table was not enough to seat them, and the food was only enough for one table.

It was said to be a table of food, but in fact, there were only three dishes and a plate of steamed buns with wild vegetables.

Shen Jingming looked at the wild vegetable soup, boiled cabbage, boiled sweet potatoes, and wild vegetable steamed buns on the table and fell silent.

I watched everyone eat up the food like crazy, stuffing it into their mouths as if they were afraid that the food would be gone.

He thought of the people still in the new house, so he took out a steamed bun with wild vegetables and boiled sweet potatoes and said to the old lady beside him, "Mom, I'll go take some food to her. You guys eat first."

After that, he got up and left.

The old lady was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "she" Shen Jingming was referring to was the new daughter-in-law he had just married into the family.

What does the new daughter-in-law look like?

The old lady thought about it and said, "Hmm... I can't remember. Never mind. She doesn't look that good anyway. It's really hard for her third son."

After Shen Jingming left, in less than a moment, there was nothing left on the table.

Shen Jianping finished eating the last sweet potato, wiped his mouth, turned around and wanted to talk to Shen Jingming, but found that he was gone.

"Mom, why is my third brother missing?"

The others had finished eating and looked at the empty seats. Why did the third brother leave?

The old lady glared at these people and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All they do all day is eat. They're like starving ghosts. They didn't even leave any food for the third child."

Boss Shen smiled awkwardly, "Mom, the third brother left on his own, it's none of our business."

Shen Lao Er curled his lips and spread his hands, "He went to accompany his wife, it's not that we don't let him eat."

To be honest, his third brother's wife is not worthy of his third brother at all.

She was married in as a substitute bride. Looking at the third brother's expression today, he probably doesn't like her either.

The old lady snorted coldly, turned to the gentle woman beside her and said, "Second son's wife, control your husband. He is so dishonest all day long."

He is already a father, but he still goes to the homes of those widows in the village every night. He is really not afraid that one day he will have a few children outside and his second wife will be angry and abandon him.

Shen Lao Er raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife.

Lin Luoxia smiled faintly and said nothing.

Even her own mother couldn't do it, so she couldn't do it either.

Anyway, she just needs to take care of her children and live her own life.

Seeing that Lin Luoxia had not changed much, Shen Laoer was very satisfied with the wife he had chosen personally.

Obedient and sensible, it suits him very well.

……

Just when Xu Manyue was extremely hungry, Shen Jingming finally pushed the door open and handed her food.

Xu Manyue took the bowl and saw that there was a sweet potato and a steamed bun with wild vegetables inside.

The wild vegetable steamed buns were not big and were gone in a few bites. The sweet potatoes were not big either and in a short while, all of these things went into Xu Manyue's stomach.

She finished the last bite of sweet potato, touched her stomach which had not changed much, and sighed silently.

There is not much difference between eating and not eating.

The only difference is that you won’t die for the time being.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and a dim kerosene lamp was lit in the house, dimly illuminating everything inside.

Xu Manyue sat on the bed and looked up at the man who was changing clothes.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous and subconsciously clutched the hem of my clothes.

Whether in her previous life or now, she has never been married. Facing her wedding night and facing a strange man, she would naturally feel nervous.

What's more, she will have an intimate exchange with him tonight.

Shen Jingming took off his upper body clothes and threw them on the shelf. Then he strode over, blew out the kerosene lamp, and climbed onto the bed.
