Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win
Chapter 29 The Back Seat of a Bicycle
"Guifang, shut up!" Boss Shen quickly pulled his wife and scolded her in a low voice.
Although this is true, they have lived for so many years and have never seen anyone be so generous as to use a bicycle as a betrothal gift.
Especially in these difficult times, for ordinary people to get married, giving a betrothal gift of four or five yuan is already considered good.
But the bicycle was bought with the third brother's own money. Even if the family had not split up, as long as the third brother did not ask for it, the bicycle would have nothing to do with them.
Shen Lao Er stood aside and watched the fun. "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. This bicycle was bought by the third brother as a betrothal gift for his wife. If you want, you can ask your eldest brother to buy you another one."
"Brother, don't you agree?" He raised his chin and looked at Boss Shen with a smile.
Boss Shen's face froze, and he glared at his wife without saying a word.
The second son had no idea how much it would cost to buy a bicycle. All the money in the family was with his mother, and he only had a few cents of pocket money on him. Even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford to buy a single part for the bicycle.
Mrs. Shen shrank back, unwilling to give up the bicycle. "Our family hasn't split up yet. If the third son bought it, it belongs to the family, right?"
After saying that, she looked at Lin Luoxia and Xu Manyue standing beside her, "Second daughter-in-law, Third daughter-in-law, what do you two say?"
Lin Luoxia shook her head, "Sister-in-law, this thing belongs to the third brother and his family. You asked the wrong person."
Shen Lao Er stared at Shen Dasao with a half-smile, "Yes, sister-in-law, aren't you embarrassing my wife by saying this in front of me?"
After saying this, he pulled Lin Luoxia and turned away.
Mrs. Shen looked at Old Second Shen's back as he left and cursed in her heart.
Why is he pretending? If you don't know him, you might think he loves his wife very much. In fact, every night he goes to the homes of the widows in the brigade.
He relied on his good looks to seduce women for money and sex. Only Lin Luoxia, a fool who had a stepmother and a stepfather, was willing to marry him.
After complaining about the second son, Mrs. Shen thought of the bicycle again. She quickly looked at Xu Manyue with a smile on her face, "Third son's wife, what do you think? Tell your sister-in-law about it."
The third brother is difficult to deal with, since he still has a wife.
A new daughter-in-law who just came in yesterday can't just refuse in a situation where the interests of several families are involved.
Xu Manyue glanced at Shen Jingming. The things were bought by someone else. Although she and he were husband and wife, they still had to deal with this kind of problem. At the very least, they had to discuss it.
Mrs. Shen's words were really irrational and were meant to disgust her.
Seeing that Shen Jingming seemed to be planning to throw the question to her, Xu Manyue thought for a moment and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, you know, I just came in yesterday, so there are some things I'm not clear about for the time being. Why don't you ask Jingming yourself?"
"It just so happens that he's here too."
Mrs. Shen subconsciously looked at Shen Jingming, but before she could say anything, she was pulled away by Brother Shen.
"Hey, why are you pulling me? I haven't asked yet."
"Why are you asking? Aren't you embarrassed enough? If you're not smart enough, just do more and talk less. Learn from your second brother and sister-in-law and don't cause me trouble all day long."
……
After those people left, only Xu Manyue and Shen Jingming were left here.
Shen Jingming raised his eyebrows and looked at his new wife, "It seems that I don't have to worry about you being wronged at home."
Fortunately, he was afraid that she would be wronged, so he went to her mother to give her instructions again.
Xu Manyue blinked and said, "Who told you to throw the question to me? I don't know how to answer it, so I have to throw it back to you."
"Look, as soon as you take action, the problem is solved."
"Am I smart?"
Shen Jingming chuckled, "Are you blaming me for not helping you just now?"
"How dare I? You are my bread and butter now. My future food, clothing, shelter and transportation will all depend on you working hard outside." Xu Manyue said as she lowered her head and kicked the pebbles.
Although she said so, Shen Jingming felt that she was just throwing a tantrum.
However, he didn't object.
"Get on the bike. I'll teach you how to ride it. Once you learn it, it's yours." Shen Jingming kicked the pebble under Xu Manyue's feet away.
Xu Manyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she stared at the man in front of her, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Shen Jingming nodded.
In the eyes of others, it was quite good for him, a peasant from the countryside with no background and no connections, to have climbed to the rank of deputy battalion commander within eight or nine years of joining the army.
Even if you change your career in the future, you will still have a good way out.
But he was unwilling to accept this. He was unwilling to accept that even though he worked harder than anyone else, his promotion speed was still not as fast as those with better connections.
It was because of this that he wanted to marry a wife with a good background.
But now that things have become a foregone conclusion, this path is doomed to fail, and we will have no choice but to work even harder in the future.
Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers. If he unfortunately dies, this bicycle can be a small compensation to her.
Just as Xu Manyue got on the bicycle, the mechanical system voice suddenly appeared in her mind again:
"Ding, the apathetic man who is devoted to his career actually teaches his wife how to ride a bicycle himself, and considering her future life, the transformation value is +20, which can be exchanged for a pound of white flour. Please keep up the good work, host."
Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, and then she was ecstatic, and her eyes looked at Shen Jingming with a little more passion.
After talking to Shen Jingming for a few words, he actually earned another pound of flour.
He is really her mobile granary. She loves him so much.
Shen Jingming noticed her special gaze and thought that Xu Manyue was reluctant to leave him because she thought he was about to leave.
He was silent for a moment, unable to think of how to comfort her, so he tried even harder to teach her how to ride a bike.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Manyue had already mastered it after he only taught it once.
Xu Manyue rode her bicycle around the yard, feeling extremely happy.
This is a bicycle, a bicycle that belongs to her specifically.
Going out for a walk is definitely cool.
The day before yesterday she was still worried about not having enough food to eat, but today she has her own bicycle.
Xu Manyue stopped and raised her chin towards Shen Jingming, "Well, I told you I'm still very smart."
"Would you like to come up and I'll take you for a ride?"
She has never suffered any hardship in her studies since she was a child. When she was in school, when others were learning arithmetic, she could basically apply what the teacher taught her once and understand it thoroughly.
While others were still feeling the pain of studying, she was no longer satisfied with the content of the class, but instead borrowed textbooks from senior students to study.
Therefore, even if the Xu family only let her finish junior high school, she would still have mastered all the knowledge learned in high school.
A small bicycle is not difficult for her.
Shen Jingming wanted to refuse. As a grown man, how could he let a woman lead him?
But when he looked up at Xu Manyue's expectant eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll just keep her company.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded again in Xu Manyue's mind, "Ding, ... transformation value +6, can be exchanged for a large meat bun."
The smile on Xu Manyue's face became more sincere, and she stopped in front of Shen Jingming on her bicycle.
"Come up quickly. You're leaving tomorrow. Let's take a walk around together before you go."
Shen Jingming pursed his lips and finally sat on the back seat of Xu Manyue's bicycle.
