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

Chapter 47: You can’t just run with the ball, right?
"Aunt, your dumplings are not cooked."

Ma Hongmei looked at her with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, you should say that these dumplings are raw."

"Raw? You're serving it to me raw? Aunt, do you have a problem with me?"

Ma Hongmei didn't expect Jiang Moli's thinking to be so different from that of ordinary people, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Jiang, this is the custom. It's like this on the day you marry into your husband's family."

"We don't have such a custom in our family. You cook it for me."

Ma Hongmei looked at An Hui and Lu Dezhao speechlessly.

Lu Dezhao waved his hand, signaling Ma Hongmei to take the dumplings away.

If you don’t want to have a baby, then forget it.

With this kind of personality, it will probably be troublesome to give birth to a child.

Jiang Moli was not stupid, so of course she knew the meaning of Ma Hongmei giving her raw dumplings.

But she will be leaving here in a few months, she can't just run away with the ball, right?
……

"Xiao Jiang, this is the detailed list of all expenses for today's wedding banquet. Take a look."

Jiang Moli took the thick stack of lists from Lu Dezhao and flipped through them symbolically, but she was secretly wondering in her heart whether her in-laws wanted her to use the betrothal money to cover the expenses of the wedding banquet?
If the couple really wants her to take the money, she can just take it.

Anyway, she will get divorced sooner or later, and then the betrothal gift will be returned to the Lu family in full.

Just as I was daydreaming, I heard Lu Dezhao say, "The third brother was planning to pay for the wedding banquet himself, but your mother and I have discussed it and decided that we will cover the expenses. The gifts you received today belong to you as a way for us to support your new family. When your two brothers and their wives got married, we also paid for the banquets, so all three brothers will benefit equally. There is no favoritism."

Jiang Moli was surprised that Lu Dezhao and An Hui could achieve this.

After all, An Hui seemed to really dislike her as a daughter-in-law.

"Here's today's gift list. A total of 1586 in cash, plus some jewelry and gifts. You can keep the jewelry and gifts, and let your mother keep the cash for now. You can ask her for more later if you need it. You're young, and we're worried you might lose control of yourself with too much money."

Jiang Moli could understand the old couple's concerns.

After all, everything she did seemed unreliable.

"sure, no problem."

Her understanding obviously made the couple feel relieved.

After the discussion, Ma Hongmei's dinner was ready.

It must be said that the food at the Lu family is much better than that at the Jiang family.

There are not only scrambled eggs and roasted pork ribs, but also a pot of old hen soup.

In fact, the Lu family’s usual meals are not so sumptuous, basically there are only two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.

The reason why there are three meat dishes on the dinner table today is, on the one hand, to take care of Jiang Moli, the new daughter-in-law who just married into the family, and she has to entertain one or two, and on the other hand, to provide An Hui with some nutrition.

She had been helping to take care of the household these days, and hadn't been eating or sleeping well, and her waist was injured, so Ma Hongmei specially stewed an old hen.

Ma Hongmei first scooped a bowl of fresh chicken soup for each person, and then scooped the old hen into the empty plate.

The authentic local chicken was stewed until the skin and meat were torn apart.

With a gentle pull, a big, fragrant, yellow chicken leg came off the chicken body.

Ma Hongmei gave the first chicken leg to An Hui.

As she pulled off the second chicken leg, she looked at Lu Dezhao and then at Jiang Moli.

Normally, the second chicken leg is given to Lu Dezhao.

"Give it to Xiao Jiang." Lu Dezhao said modestly.

Jiang Moli reached out to cover the bowl, "I don't want it."

Perhaps they didn't expect Jiang Moli to refuse the fragrant chicken leg, so the three of them looked at her.

Lu Dezhao was somewhat touched: "Xiao Jiang, you can eat the chicken leg. You are too thin. Eat more meat to improve your health."

"You don't want it, and neither do I. Aunt, just give me a chicken wing."

"..."

Bai was moved.

So you are just being picky here.

Although he said so, Lu Dezhao and his wife looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

Although this young daughter-in-law is annoying and always teases people, she is not a bad person by nature and knows how to be humble and give way to her elders.

……

After dinner, Jiang Dahai counted the gifts he received today.

The Jiang family has many relatives in the countryside, and they only received more than 400 yuan in gifts for setting up ten tables of wine. After deducting the expenses for the wine, there was not much left.

Jiang Dahai counted out the bulk of the money and prepared to use it to pay off his debt tomorrow.

Most of the money spent on the wedding banquet was borrowed from neighbors and colleagues at the factory, with the agreement that they would be paid back after the banquet.

After settling the bill, Jiang Dahai asked Jiang Qing about her plans.

Jiang Qing had originally planned to hold a wedding banquet tomorrow, a simple dinner with relatives from both sides. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and Zhang Jiaming returned to the army early.

Zhang Jiaming did not have Lu Cheng's skills and ability to arrange everything before leaving.

Before Zhang Jiaming left, he didn't even bother to meet with her to talk things over.

The Zhang family also came to the city today to attend the wedding, and mentioned the marriage to Jiang Dahai, wanting to wait for Zhang Jiaming to come back before holding the wedding.

Jiang Dahai neither refused nor agreed. He had to see what Jiang Qing thought about this matter.

After all, this stepdaughter has had her own ideas since she was a child.

"Since Jiaming is not here, there's no need to have a banquet. I'll go directly to Zhang's house tomorrow."

"How can that be done!"

Li Hongying was the first to object. "If you go straight to my husband's house without a wedding banquet, he will look down on you, and outsiders will laugh at you too."

Jiang Dahai also did not approve of his stepdaughter going to the Zhang family like this.

He held a grand wedding for his biological daughter the day before, and the next day it was his stepdaughter's turn and she had to go to her husband's house alone with her luggage. Outsiders didn't know what to make of him as the stepfather.

He said to his stepdaughter, "Wait for about a year or so, until Jiaming comes back. Even if there's no wedding banquet, he has to personally take you in."

Li Hongying nodded. "That's right, Xiaoqing, listen to your Uncle Jiang."

But Jiang Qing has her own ideas.

It is now June. In three months, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will spread across the country.

In December, the first college entrance examination after the restoration of the college entrance examination system will be held.

The number of applicants for this winter exam was nearly 600 million, but the number of admissions was less than 30.

With an acceptance rate of 20 to 1, she has to race against time.

She had already made up her mind to apply to a university in Kuncheng, so that she could be reunited with Zhang Jiaming and his wife without hindering her progress.

She insisted on going to the Zhang family. On the one hand, she didn't want to continue to be a slave to the Jiang family, and on the other hand, she wanted to concentrate on reviewing.

The resumption of the college entrance examination is three months away, and if she starts reviewing now, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

What's more, there is still the ghost of Zhou Xiaoqing around her, and she will never give Zhou Xiaoqing another chance to ruin her life.

When she arrived at Zhang's house, she locked herself in her room to study, and no one knew what she was doing.

"Mom, Uncle Jiang, I've made up my mind. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Jiang Qing went into the inner room and closed the door.

This expresses her persistence and determination.

Li Hongying was so angry that she burst into tears. "Why is this child so stubborn? Are we going to hurt her?"

Jiang Dahai was also a little angry at his stepdaughter for not knowing what was good for her. "Since she's determined to leave, let her go."

He counted out 66 yuan from the gift money and gave it to Li Hongying. "Give this money to Xiaoqing. It's a small token of my appreciation as your stepfather."

Li Hongying took the money, held it in her hand, and wiped away tears of emotion:

"Dahai, I thank you on behalf of Xiaoqing."

"Although Xiaoqing is not my biological child, she has come into this family, and I regard her as my own child. I will do my best to do what I should do."

"It is a blessing for us mother and daughter to meet you."

Jiang Qing heard the conversation between Jiang Dahai and Li Hongying outside through the door, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

hypocritical!

If he really treated her and Jiang Moli equally, then why didn't he give her the same dowry as Jiang Moli?
……

Jiang Moli had just finished counting her dowry.

The cash basically consisted of 888 yuan as a betrothal gift from Lu Cheng, and two red envelopes of 18 yuan each from Jiang Dahai as a fee for changing his name.

In addition, at the engagement party, An Hui gave her a red envelope of 101 yuan, which added up to a total of just over a thousand yuan.

The rest were items. In addition to the betrothal gifts given by Lu Cheng, which she was allowed to take back, Jiang Dahai also gave her four quilts, two sets of bedding, two chests, a sewing basket, a flashlight, and so on. All in all, it cost nearly a hundred yuan.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's rare in this day and age.

When many families marry off their daughters, the bride price given by the man is directly pocketed by the girl’s parents.

Despite his limited financial situation, Jiang Dahai did not take any betrothal gifts and even contributed a lot of dowry, which has surpassed 99.9% of parents.

Jiang Moli's own dowry, plus the money given by the Lu family for changing her name, and the red envelopes given by Lu Cheng's two brothers and sisters-in-law and other relatives, she had more than 1300 yuan in cash in her hands.

Jiang Moli counted out the change and planned to deposit the remaining 1300 into Lu Cheng's passbook at the bank tomorrow.

Anyway, when we divorce, the money will have to be returned in full.

She opened the locked drawer at the bottom of the dressing table and was about to put the money in. As soon as the drawer was opened, Jiang Moli was stunned.
