Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 265 Future Second Sister-in-Law
“Grandpa is coming with us. We have to make a trip to the capital. Grandpa gave us a wedding house there. I went there when I was very young, but I haven’t been back since, so I don’t recognize it. Grandpa said he’s taking me there to familiarize myself with the place. He said that we’ll be a family from now on, and he’ll renovate it so it can be used as our wedding house.”
"By the way, it seems my second brother is bringing people back tomorrow, did you know?" Shen Zhiyuan had been so busy these past few days that he only vaguely remembered what his second brother had said before.
"It should be true. I heard from my older brother that my second brother has a girlfriend, but it seems she's not from the military." He had also heard his second brother say that he was going to bring his girlfriend home. But he's been too busy lately, and it's not the right time, so the matter has been put on hold.
"If they're not from the military, then where are they from? Besides the wives in the family compound, it's just relatives from these families, sisters-in-law, and the like. Could it be that Second Brother is looking for this kind of girl?" That can't be right. Although there are relatively few girls here, there are still some.
Another reason is the families in the residential compound. Many of them send their daughters to live with relatives here, hoping that their daughters will marry well and achieve success. They either stay with relatives or are temporarily residing in the compound.
"She works at the county supply and marketing cooperative as an accountant. My second brother rescued her, and she took a liking to him. He inquired around and found out she was a decent person, but her only family is her widowed mother, who is in poor health. That's why she's already 20 and still hasn't found someone." Here, people usually start looking for someone around 15 or 16; if they don't want to start that early, they can wait until they're 17 or 18.
"It's just one more old lady, it's really not a big deal. If my second brother and that girl really get together, surely their combined salaries can support an old lady?" She didn't think having a mother was such a big deal.
The accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative must earn a decent salary, at least forty or fifty yuan a month. Given the current standard of living, that salary alone would be more than enough for a family of five to live on for a month.
"But you can't just leave right after meeting them. If Mom and Dad agree to their marriage, does that mean they have to get their marriage certificate, choose an auspicious date, and hold a wedding banquet right away?" How could the whole family be absent from such an important event as a wedding?
"Indeed, we can't rush it, but our leave is almost up. Otherwise, we'd have to call the captain and let him know so that our remaining leave can be approved together." If they don't go back for a long time without even reporting it, they'll be in big trouble. If they can report it like this, even if they don't get the certificate, it won't be a big problem.
"Then I'll tell Dad when he gets back. I also need to think about what gift to prepare for my second sister-in-law," Xia Yutang said, already starting to rummage through her savings.
She received quite a few things, many of which she had collected herself, but she didn't know what to give her future sister-in-law. She had a glimpse of her future sister-in-law, but what about her eldest sister-in-law?
"Tangtang, since your future sister-in-law works at the supply and marketing cooperative, she must have plenty of things. Why don't you find something that the cooperative doesn't have for her?" Of course, it's not a big gift for the first meeting, but you still need to think about what to give to make your future sister-in-law feel that your family values you.
"Things the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have? Well, how about preparing some small cakes that are only available at the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall? Also, prepare some health supplements or tonics for my future sister-in-law's mother." No, I need to find out more about my sister-in-law's mother's health. Does she need any medicinal herbs?
"Should we prepare some medicinal herbs?" Xia Yutang asked, looking at her fiancé sitting opposite her.
“It’s not appropriate to prepare medicine on the first visit. Let’s wait until next time. After this meeting, we might talk about marriage. We can ask Erxiao’s mother how she is then and decide what medicine to prepare.” Shen Zhiyuan felt it was inappropriate to prepare medicine on the first visit, so he suppressed his wife’s idea of preparing some good medicine.
"Ah Yuan, I'm suddenly really looking forward to seeing what my future sister-in-law will look like." Judging from his second brother's taste, she definitely won't be bad. Everyone in their family is good-looking. His brother has only ever played with good-looking people since he was a child, so if his brother is willing to bring her to meet the family, he must be ready to get married.
"She'll definitely be beautiful. My eldest and second eldest brothers both said before that they should find a beautiful wife, so that they can eat an extra bowl of rice just looking at her." They had talked about this before when they had a family gathering, so he was really looking forward to seeing his future sister-in-law.
After discussing their sister-in-law's matter, the two started thinking about what to prepare for dinner. There wasn't much food left at home, and it didn't seem like a good day for them to go out. They could only try to figure out what they could make with the remaining ingredients, or perhaps their father could bring something else back later.
"Make some clear soup noodles. They've been eating since lunchtime. Are you sure they'll still be hungry when they come back in the evening?" Shen Zhiyuan felt that they probably weren't hungry for the time being, but after drinking too much tea or soda, their lack of hunger was only temporary.
"How about we do it later? They've changed their clothes now, let's go out and see if there's anything else we can buy?" Xia Yutang was still thinking about whether they could go out for a stroll. He had only ever walked around the family compound all the time he had been here.
He never went to the nearby villages, and his father always brought back things for him when he needed to buy them.
"We probably can't go out today. Let's wait until tomorrow when we see Second Sister-in-law. After we see her tomorrow, I'll take you out for a stroll." He felt his wife was already very tired after all that had to do today, so he didn't plan to let her go out now.
"Alright, let's go tomorrow then. I need to think about a gift for my future sister-in-law now. Ah Yuan, what if she doesn't like me..."
"No way, our Tangtang is so wonderful, how could Second Sister-in-law not like her? Second Brother must have talked to Second Sister-in-law about you. Even if Second Sister-in-law doesn't like her, after the marriage, Mom and Dad will definitely separate them. They won't live together and will only see each other occasionally, it's really no big deal..." She even felt that her second brother would definitely not choose someone who didn't like Tangtang.
Even if the men don't like Tangtang after meeting her, they can simply not see each other as often in the future. Besides, they're in the military camp, and they live in their hometown; it's impossible for them to live together.
"I'm just a little worried. My second brother finally met someone he likes, and I'm also a little worried that my sister-in-law won't like me after she marries into the family." She plans to rely on her parents for the rest of her life, so of course she doesn't want her family to be uncomfortable because of her.
