Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife
Chapter 3: Sister-in-law, Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Chapter 3: Sister-in-law, Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
With the protection of Zhan's mother, Tang Qiyue felt confident in the Zhan family.
Regardless of whether it was her sarcastic sister-in-law or her uncle's family who doubted her intentions, Tang Qiyue always greeted them with a smile.
Because it was a wedding for good fortune, there was no bridal chamber, and naturally there would be no bridal chamber pranks. The Zhan family did not hold a big banquet either, but just had a meal together as a family.
After dinner, Tang Qiuyue took off her wedding dress, changed into everyday clothes, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen with her sister-in-law to wash and clean.
She was obviously a delicate daughter of a capitalist family, but she didn't cause any trouble and didn't dislike the Zhan family.
Zhan Chunying is not a fool. Since she was pushed out to marry her younger brother, Tang Qiyue must have had a hard time in the Tang family.
"Hey, how come you, a grown lady, can do these things?"
When Tang Qiyue skillfully broke the firewood and threw it into the stove, and used a match to light the straw to start the fire, Zhan Chunying finally couldn't help but speak.
Zhan Chunying, who was only sixteen years old, was fearless and had a particularly impulsive temper. If Tang Qiyue hadn't had a good attitude, she would probably have thought that this sister-in-law was looking for trouble.
"My mom and dad divorced more than ten years ago. I live alone with my mom and my brother. Although we have a maid at home, she still has to do the work!"
Tang Qiyue raised her head and smiled at Zhan Chunying: "If you don't want to call me sister-in-law, just call me Qiyue. I am two years older than you!"
She just came of age this year.
Zhan Chunying was silent.
She knew how difficult it was to grow up in a single-parent family. Her mother was a widow who raised three children alone. Her eldest brother got married early and almost brought the family down. Her youngest brother joined the army at a young age just to save food for the family. Later, he sent money home every month, which made life better for the family.
Later, the younger brother made great achievements and became more and more capable. He wanted to take his family to join the army, but Zhan's mother disagreed, saying that the eldest son should support the family, and without the eldest son, he would go to the younger son's house.
To put it bluntly, she is afraid that the whole family will become a burden to her younger brother. His younger brother is risking his life to earn military merits in the army, and his mother feels distressed when she sees this.
Originally, Zhan's mother was definitely not happy about the marriage with the Tang family. It was the Tang family that relied on the young brother. But after knowing that the young brother was injured, especially after it affected his offspring, not only did the girl run away, but they also wanted to marry her in place of him to save their reputation.
Zhan Chunying looked down on the Tang family's behavior, but after seeing Tang Qiyue, she felt that it was a good change. At least Tang Qiyue was good-looking, and the key was that she did not have the style of a young lady, was not spoiled, and could work.
They were busy until dark, and the Zhan family had no habit of lighting lights to work. In order to save lamp oil, they turned off the lights and went to bed early.
Mother Zhan came to Tang Qiyue's room in the dark and said, "My daughter, I have one more question for you. If you are not happy with it, then forget about the marriage. Go before it gets dark. I know my son's situation and I can't delay you!"
There was no way Tang Qiyue would leave. Not to mention that the Tang family was about to fall into misfortune, she also wanted to rely on this marriage to completely sever her brother's ties with the Tang family. What's more, her current identity was very embarrassing. Even if she went home, she could not escape the fate of being dragged to the countryside.
"Mom, I'm staying here sincerely. I know that Second Brother Zhan is injured and needs someone to take care of him. There will be a boat in three days, and I will take the boat to take care of him then. As long as he doesn't despise me, I will be his wife!"
Perhaps it was the sincerity in Tang Qiyue's eyes that eliminated the last bit of worry for Zhan's mother. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it into three layers, and in the middle lay an emerald green bracelet.
"Mother doesn't have any good things. This is my dowry. It's a little gift from mother."
Mother Zhan put the bracelet on Tang Qiyue's wrist.
Even someone who doesn't know the value of something can tell that this bracelet is extraordinary. Moreover, Tang Qiyue has seen a lot of antique jewelry since she was a child, so she can naturally see the value of this bracelet.
"Mom, this thing is too valuable, I can't take it!" But Zhan's mother held her wrist and said, "Your sister-in-law also has one, wear it with confidence!"
When Tang Qiyue heard that her sister-in-law also had one, she thought that she agreed with her daughter-in-law's intention, so she didn't refuse. She thought it would be better to hide it in the future so that no one would see it and have any thoughts about it.
After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not familiar with each other, so they didn't say much. They just gave a few instructions and then went to bed.
It was not until she lay in bed that Tang Qiyue felt a hint of reality.
Compared to the mental tension of the end of the world, although life here is hard, there is no need to worry about monsters appearing and dying at any time. It’s okay to suffer a little physically as long as she is diligent enough and has enough food and drink.
Just as she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, a voice suddenly popped up in her mind.
[Plane fluctuations detected, cross-plane trading system connection successful, do you want to check the trading platform? ]
Tang Qiyue sat up suddenly.
In the darkness, her eyes widened, and she remembered why she got into trouble in the end times. It was because she was enveloped by a ray of light when she was searching for the unknown, and then she returned to her first life.
When she came back, she had to face the battle of wits and courage with Tang's father as a substitute bride. She had no time to think at all. Now she understands that it is definitely not simple for that light to allow her to be reborn.
"Check!"
What supernatural powers has Tang Qiyue not seen in the end times? What strange things has she not heard of?
It’s not like she hasn’t fantasized about having super powers, but she is just an ordinary person, struggling at the bottom of the world, barely surviving with all her efforts.
Now it is clear that everything is because what she possesses is not supernatural powers, but the time and space of two lives.
As the trading platform slowly unfolded in front of her and various trading items appeared on it, Tang Qiyue became more certain that her rebirth was not an accident.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, anything she can think of is available on the trading platform, but the items traded are of equal value in both time and space.
For example, pregnancy potions are not precious in the end times. After all, in order to facilitate childbirth, the country is almost giving them away for free, and the cost of a steamed bun is all that is needed to exchange for a pregnancy potion.
What's the difference between this and free gift?
Tang Qiyue couldn't sleep that night. She studied the trading system over and over again, so much so that when she got up early the next morning to cook, her mother was startled.
"Oh my God, you didn't sleep all night? Are you worried about my son?"
Tang Qiyue laughed dryly. She was not worried about a man she had never met before. She was just too excited and couldn't say it out loud.
"Mom, I'm just thinking about taking care of Brother Zhan the day after tomorrow. I wonder if he will dislike me!"
Mother Zhan held Tang Qiyue's hand and said, "He dares. If he despises me, I will not recognize him as my son!"
Tang Qiyue immediately hugged Zhan's mother's arm: "I know that mother is the best!"
Zhan's mother was not used to Tang Qiyue's sudden affection and coquettishness. Just as she was about to push her away, she heard the courtyard door being pushed open. A cold voice broke the cheerful atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
