Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 16: Being noticed by my son’s leader?

Lu Cheng's proposal of marriage undoubtedly shocked everyone.

Everyone stared at Lu Cheng in amazement, as if they had heard something out of a fairy tale.

Mother Zhang let out a strange, dry laugh. "I'm old, maybe I misheard? Who did Jiaming say he wanted to marry? Jiang Moli?"

how can that be possible!
The woman that even her son looked down upon was actually favored by his leader?
If the leader likes you, doesn’t that mean you are a good person?
If outsiders knew about this, wouldn’t they laugh at the Zhang family for being so blind?

Jiang Qing also couldn't believe her ears.

My fiancé's boss actually fell in love with Jiang Moli?
If Jiang Moli really married Lu Cheng, wouldn't she and Zhang Jiaming be bullies for the rest of their lives?

No, absolutely not!
She forced a smile and asked Lu Cheng for confirmation: "Leader, you must be joking, right?"

Not to mention that the Zhang family and Jiang Qing didn't believe it, Jiang Dahai himself didn't dare to believe it either.

What kind of character is my daughter? Cunning, lazy, greedy, slippery, and mischievous!

I should be thankful that I can marry an ordinary soldier in this life. How could I dare to expect to marry an officer like Lu Cheng?

Wang Lianhua in the next room gritted her teeth secretly: This man looks handsome, but he is actually a brainless person. He even looks down on a lazy person like Jiang Moli, so doesn’t that mean he can also look down on her Xiaoqing?

If he really takes a fancy to her, their Zhou family will have a chance to make a fortune!

Wang Lianhua immediately ran from the back door to the guard room and called her daughter at the cotton mill.

"Uncle Jiang, I sincerely ask to marry Comrade Jiang Moli."

Lu Cheng's serious expression, resolute gaze, and powerful words all expressed his seriousness.

"Leader Jiaming, your kindness is so great, but my Jasmine is not worthy of you."

Jiang Dahai spoke those few words with great difficulty.

God knows, he wished he could tie up his daughter and throw her on Lu Cheng's bed so that the matter would be settled.

But his remaining rationality made him very clear that once Lu Cheng realized his daughter's true face, he would definitely regret and cancel the engagement like the Zhang family did.

My daughter's reputation is already bad, and she's been broken off once. If she's broken off again, she'll never be able to get married in this life.

Lu Cheng was not discouraged by Jiang Dahai's rejection.

On the contrary, he admired Jiang Dahai's integrity.

Much better than those snobbish fathers who want to climb up the social ladder by relying on their daughters.

"I'm unmarried, and Comrade Jiang Moli is unmarried. We are equals, there's no question of who's compatible. I swear in the name of a soldier that if I can marry Comrade Jiang Moli, I will treat her sincerely after marriage, do my best to protect her, and give her a stable life."

These words touched Jiang Dahai's heart.

Isn't what he wants just to find a reliable man for his daughter so that she can have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life?
"Okay, okay! I agree to this marriage!"

Jiang Dahai swept away the gloom and laughed heartily.

The Zhang family members who had been so happy before now all had stiff faces, and no one could smile.

Jiang Qing dug her fingernails into her palms, wishing she could loudly object to this marriage.

But she had no right and no way to stop it.

Jiang Dahai didn't care about the Zhang family's mood or thoughts. He wanted to bring his daughter back immediately, marry Lu Cheng, and have their bridal chamber on the spot.

Otherwise, Lu Cheng would come to his senses and regret and run away.

He struck while the iron was hot, "Xiao Lu, when are you going to come and propose marriage?"

"Let's do it today. Since everyone is here, please bear witness for me."

Good day!

But when he saw that Lu Cheng had nothing in his hands, Jiang Dahai felt a little uncomfortable.

But on second thought, it was already a blessing for my daughter to marry a son-in-law like Lu Cheng, and everything else was secondary.

Just as Jiang Dahai was comforting himself, he heard Lu Cheng shouting outside: "Mom!"

What?
The mother-in-law/the leader’s mother is here too?
Everyone in the courtyard hurried out to greet them.

From a distance, they saw a group heading towards the Jiang family. Leading the group was a young man in military uniform, pushing a brand new Phoenix brand women's bicycle with a big red flower adorning the front of the bicycle.

Behind them, there were a group of young men in military uniforms, all of them had something in their hands.

Sewing machines, radios, whole pork hind legs, a whole box of Wuliangye liquor, a foot-high pile of various fabrics, Mudan cigarettes, imported fruit candies, boxes of snacks, canned fruit, and pairs of live chickens and ducks.

The staff of the machinery factory's family compound had never seen such a scene before, and everyone was shocked.

"Oh my god, there are so many good things, how much does it cost?"

"The four big items cost at least four hundred yuan. The cigarettes, alcohol, and candy combined cost another two hundred yuan. Two pig hind legs and sixteen live chickens and ducks cost at least a hundred yuan. All together, it must be seven or eight hundred yuan, right?"

"Oh my god, whose family are you going to propose marriage to?"

"Why are there so many marriage proposals today?"

Wang Lianhua mingled with the neighbors, looking at the long queue of people proposing marriage, and was extremely anxious.

You silly girl, hurry back here, or your rich husband will be snatched away by that damn Jiang Moli!
All the idle people in the family quarters came over to watch the fun, and many people followed the marriage proposal team, wanting to know whose family they were going to.

An Hui walked quickly with empty hands and was the first to arrive at Jiang's house.

She was well-dressed and had a graceful and elegant temperament. Even though Jiang Dahai had guessed her identity, he did not dare to be presumptuous, for fear that he would say something wrong and leave a bad impression on others.

"Uncle Jiang, this is my mother, Ms. Anhui. Mom, this is Jiang Moli's father, Uncle Jiang."

"Ms. An, please take a seat at home!"

An Hui nodded politely, "Comrade Jiang, sorry to bother you."

"Don't disturb, don't disturb, you're most welcome."

Amidst the greetings, the group entered the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaoguang gestured to the team behind him, and the young men also filed into the Jiang family with their belongings.

The neighbors who saw this scene were all shocked.

"Why is it the Jiang family again?!"

"The previous time, they said they were proposing marriage to Jiang Dahai's daughter, so this time they should be proposing marriage to Jiang Dahai's stepdaughter, right?"

"No, the previous proposal was for Jiang Dahai's stepdaughter. She was originally married to Jiang Moli, but she wanted to break off the engagement and marry Jiang Dahai's daughter instead."

"What the hell is going on here? It's too confusing..."

Although everyone was arguing over the person to marry, they all had one thing in common, which was that the Jiang family had finally found a rich family this time!
The Zhang family's proposal gifts were already placed in the house to avoid confusion, and the Lu family's proposal gifts were placed in the yard.

They are all well-trained soldiers and the items are arranged neatly and orderly.

Four major items, including a bicycle and a sewing machine, were neatly placed in the most conspicuous position. The rest of the cigarettes, alcohol, candy and meat were placed around the four major items. Sixteen live chickens and ducks were lined up in two rows, squatting at the foot of the wall.

The beaks and feet of chickens and ducks were tied with red ropes, so there was no need to worry about them running around or making noises.

The small courtyard to begin with was so filled with Lu Cheng's marriage proposal gifts that there was almost no place for people to stay.

Jiang Dahai was so happy that he almost fainted.

Is he dreaming?

The Zhang family was stunned. Oh my god, are people in the city so rich?
Bicycles, sewing machines, radios, watches, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, snack boxes, canned fruits, each of which is a rare and valuable item in the countryside, and yet they are all there!

Those two fat pig hind legs alone are enough for the Zhang family to eat for two years!

Jiang Qing's eyes turned red.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared with the generous marriage proposal from the Lu family, the little things from the Zhang family in the inner room were simply a humiliation.

"Uncle Jiang, this is the betrothal money."

And there is a betrothal gift???

The Zhang family members all looked at Lu Cheng.

The neighbors outside the courtyard gathered to watch the fun, their heads stretched out longer than the duck necks under the wall.
