62 is not a vagrant

  While Xu Yujiao was lingering in the hospital pretending to be ill, Manman packed her bags and got into a small car driven by Comrade Jiang Yan, preparing to move into her husband's home.

  Du Yu looked at Jiang Da Shao's car and saw that it was a Mercedes-Benz. His eyes lit up: "Brother, people say that military men don't have money, but I think this saying is wrong."

  "It was Mo Wenyang's uncle who lent it to Mo Wenyang, and then Mo Wenyang lent it to me." Comrade Jiang Yan said straightforwardly, "However, you're right about one thing, a soldier's money is much less than those rich folks'."

  Du Yu thought that last night Jiang Dashao somehow got the household registration book back from Jin Ruowen, and he felt even more that these masters in the capital were deeply hidden.

  Comrade Jiang Yan's humble words can only be believed one-tenth of the time.

  At the beginning of summer vacation, Mengmeng took out her luggage.

  Jiang Dashao hurriedly helped his wife carry the bags and put them in the trunk, saying: "I was thinking of buying a small car for my wife to use."

  At the beginning of summer, Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh and tease her husband: "Look at them, on their first day of marriage, they're already saying they want to buy a small car for their wife."

  Manman's face turned red: "What do I want a car for? I don't know how to drive."

  "I don't know how to drive, but I can teach you. Guaranteed that within a week, you'll be able to take the driving test." Jiang Dashao started speaking like he did on their wedding night, revealing his true nature as an instructor after marriage, "I'm telling you, even my worst soldier, Xu Sanduo, as long as I train him for two days, he'll turn from a useless guy into a hero immediately."

  Man man ji: Jiang Da Shao, can you not be so anxious, anxious to turn your wife into a student.

  "Look, other people buy cars for their wives and teach them how to drive. I've been married to you for two years now, you didn't even think of teaching me how to drive, let alone buying me a car."

  Du Yu sneered, immediately counterattacking Jiang Yuan: "Don't think he's great just because he drives well, I believe he'll have trouble driving into his wife's door tonight."

  Drive the car into her gate?

  Manman, this innocent girl, thought for half a day and finally understood the meaning from others' mocking gazes. Her face turned red as she couldn't help but say to Du Yu: "Brother, can you be more civilized?"

  "Driving a car into your wife's door is not civilized enough, can't pass the audit?" Du Yu shouted loudly.

  (Fat mom: , the website promotes civilization, cough, write it in a more implicit way, guys, you know what I mean.)

  A group of people chatted and laughed, following the newlyweds to their new home to join in the fun, completely forgetting about Xu Yujiao and Wen Huan, that mother-daughter pair who had put on a show at the hospital.

  She quietly sent a text message to her father's mobile phone, telling him the good news.

  Wen Shi Xuan quickly sent a secret text message telling her: Xu Yu E is pretending, and she mustn't come back.

  What a mom.

  Man Man took a deep breath and vowed never to think about Xu Yu'e and Wen Huan again.

  The car drove around half a circle in Beijing city and arrived at a street in the compound of an army unit.

  That's why it is said that several troops' large courtyards are concentrated in this place.

  All the way to admire the PLA soldiers standing guard at the door, in early summer whistling: "I said Manman, from now on you are half a soldier."

  Marrying a soldier is equivalent to living in a military camp atmosphere. Looking around, I feel that this place is somewhat familiar.

  Jiang Dazhou, who was driving, replied meaningfully to her question: "Last night, we passed by here."

  "Did you say that Mrs. Lu, who sent us off last night, lives here?"

  "Mrs. Lu?" Chū Xià curiously stuck her head between the two of them and asked.

  "The big yard where we live is next door to the residence of your lordship's family," said Jiang Yan.

  Early summer and Manman face each other: Why? It feels like that iceberg is haunting me.

  Jiang Dashao didn't mean to make excuses, it was absolutely not intentional. This house of his was allocated by the company last year when he still didn't know Manman and Junye.

  Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that the big house where Chiang's father and mother lived was just separated from Chiang's new house by a district in between.

  Thinking of her future in-laws, she deliberately let Jiang Mu, who didn't like herself, live separately from them. Manman knew it was the considerate act of Big Brother Jiang.

  When hearing Manman sighing, Chuxia comforted: "If you're feeling lonely living here, we can move to the same neighborhood as you, so you'll have some company."

  "Can you really live in a big courtyard just by saying so?" Du Yu said practically, his wife's words were completely unreliable.

  The car just passed through the gate of the big courtyard. At the gate, a small soldier with a gun was standing, possibly changing shifts every now and then, not very familiar with the people entering, and seriously checking their passes.

  When Comrade Jiang Yan showed his pass, the officer sitting in the guard room ran out and saluted respectfully: "Welcome back, Captain Jiang."

  "Hello, Zhang Lianchang. This is my newlywed wife, I'll have to trouble you and your people to take care of her from now on." Comrade Jiang Yan immediately introduced his newlywed wife to the neighborhood security guard.

  "Hello, sister-in-law. Just call me Old Zhang from now on." Zhang Lianzhang smiled warmly at Manman, seemingly having had some prior arrangement with Jiang Yan. He patted his chest and said, "If you have any trouble in the future and Commander Jiang is not around, just give our guardhouse a call."

  Manman's face turned red for the first time when someone called her "sister-in-law", then she nodded to him: "Thank you, Zhang Lianchang."

  The car drove into the courtyard.

  Early summer looking back, saw some soldiers coming to visit, not all of them can be let in casually, curiously whispering: "The security here is stricter than the community?"

  "In early summer, if I'm not around, you can move in and live with Manman. However, as Comrade Du said, the big yards in this area are all government agencies' yards, related to military administrative secrets, and are not houses that can be rented out by the troops."

  At the beginning of summer, one listen was very happy: "In this way, those Wen family people want to come and find Manman, it's harder than climbing to heaven." He said with a squeeze of his eyes: "Jiang Dashao, you just made an appointment with Lian Chang in this regard, right?"

  Comrade Jiang Yan turned his head, only facing Manman, mysteriously revealing a charming smile that could win over the hearts of many.

  Manman understood what he meant and nodded: "I won't be soft-hearted and let them in."

  They got out of the car, several people got off, carried their luggage and went upstairs. The new house is on the third floor, not high or low, which shows that Jiang Dashao has indeed mixed well in the army, and can mix to such a good house with such qualifications.

  "There are three bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration was done by my sister because I was busy in the army. Yesterday, she sent someone over to clean up."

  As Jiang Yan said this, they unexpectedly arrived at the new house on the third floor, where Jiang Mei was waiting for them with Xiao Dongzi at the door.

  This was the second time she met her husband's second sister, and nervously called out to Jiang Mei: "Sister Mei."

  "What's with 'Mei Jie'? Call me Er Jie, just like your husband does!" Jiang Mei corrected her with a playful smile on her face.

  It's clear that Jiang Mei doesn't seem to have an opinion about her like last time, and Manman quietly puts down a big stone in her heart.

  Little Dongzi standing beside Jiang Mei adjusted his glasses: "Sister, congratulations to you. From now on I'll have to call you Auntie. Do you feel like you've suddenly aged a bit?"

  Everyone is speechless!

  "What's wrong with getting old? How old is my sister this year?" Grabbing the little nephew's head, Comrade Jiang Yan awkwardly rubbed it hard, thinking that the little nephew liked Weiwei very much, but didn't expect that after Weiwei got married, she would start to get a bit older and play such a joke.

  Manman listened to Xiaodongzi's words and suddenly felt very happy. A sentence from her aunt made her feel that she had indeed grown up. Is it only when a woman gets married that she feels completely adult?

  In order not to disturb the newcomer's first day, Chunxia and Du Yu entered the new house and took a stroll around, finding that the newlyweds' items were complete, and the room was decorated festively. Although Jiang Mu wasn't very enthusiastic, it was clear that the Jiang family had welcomed Manman warmly, and Jiang Mei had taken great care in preparing for Manman and Jiang Dashao's wedding. Chunxia and Du Yu felt relieved, gave some instructions to Manman, and then left.

  Seeing off the bride's guests, Jiang Mei said to the newlyweds: "I heard you spent the night at McDonald's waiting for the civil affairs bureau to open, you must be tired, go wash up and rest early." She paused and seriously said to Xiang Wanwan: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the wedding ceremony, when Ah Yan's dad comes back, we will definitely think of a way to help you make it up."

  "Second sister." Upon hearing Jiang Mei's promise, a warm current surged in Manman's heart, especially under the circumstances where her mother didn't like her.

  Jiang Mei had to say something about this future mother-in-law relationship, so she held Manman's hand and said seriously: "My mom's temper is not bad, but likes to compete with others. This energy, as long as she understands, nothing will happen. Manman, I hope you don't take it to heart, for your own sake and Ah Yan's."

  "I know, Second Sister." Mianmian nodded her small head.

  Jiang's mother is fine, just like the Wen family, can't affect their young couple's life.

  Upon hearing Jiang Mei's words, Jiang Dashao drank half of the water and bluntly said: "Second sister, I've told you before, don't tell mom about this for now."

  "You've got married, after a few days, you should bring Manman to see your parents and have a cup of tea with them." Jiang Mei tried to ease the atmosphere.

  "Mother, this is a lack of discipline!" Bang, Jiang Dashao slammed down his cup.

  Xiao Dongzi's glasses spun around in a circle: "I also think that Grandma shouldn't judge people by their appearance."

  Jiang Mei, who was sandwiched in between, let out a deep sigh.

  Manman grasped her hand back and said, "Second sister, if you think it's okay, I hope you can pass a message to Aunt. My dad and I will absolutely not embezzle a single penny from the Jiang family. After Ah Yan and I got married, our expenses after marriage, Ah Yan pays half, and I also pay half."

  "Really?" Jiang Mei felt a bit guilty for her mother, "Look at what you're saying, men earning money to spend more on their families is normal. My husband and I are the same."

  "No, if a woman can't earn money for the family, one day she'll be scolded by her husband." Manman's eyes sparkled with crescent moon shape, "I just want to let Auntie feel at ease, Ah Yan and I will live a comfortable life, no need for Auntie to worry about it."

  Jiang Mei's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but admire how eloquently and clearly Yan Yan had spoken. She felt a surge of respect for her sister-in-law, almost wanting to applaud. As a result, Jiang Mei felt a sense of relief wash over her, deeply moved by the realization that even if she were face-to-face with her own mother, Yan Yan would not be at a disadvantage in the slightest. Her brother's wife was someone who didn't show off on a daily basis, but actually had hidden depths.

  "Alright, I'm leaving." Calling out to her son downstairs, Jiang Mei was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and reminded her brother, "You're doing it for the first time tonight. Be careful, don't hurt your wife."

  Comrade Jiang Yan is puzzled: Why doesn't everyone trust his driving skills?

  Does Jiang Mei tell the truth? Mianmian's small face turned red: Is he also a rookie, is there any problem with what he said? By the way, is there a tutorial for this kind of thing?

  After seeing off Jiang Mei and Xiao Dongzi, Big Master Jiang returned to the new house with big strides.

  As soon as the door closed, the large room was left with just the two of them.

  Manman's head was lowered almost to the point of drilling into a hole in the ground: "Do you want to eat something?"

  "I just ate in the morning, but I seem to be a bit hungry now." Jiang Dashi pretended that his stomach was growling, rubbed his belly, and made a great effort to cooperate with his wife's first day of managing the household after marriage.

  Manman hastily entered the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found that Jiang Mei had carefully prepared several days' worth of food for her. After some thought, she decided to cook some egg noodles, which would be quicker.

  Pacing back and forth in the living room, feeling restless, but as soon as I hear the pleasant clinking sounds coming from the kitchen, a warm and cozy feeling of home suddenly rushes towards me, and the long-awaited home becomes a reality. The aroma of cooking wafting out of the kitchen, mixed with her scent, warmly fills my heart.

  Two bowls of noodles were brought out and placed on a small white garden table in the dining room, with one pair of ivory chopsticks per person.

  It's not the first time I've eaten something she made, but this time is different. Face to face, just the two of us, with only the steaming mist on the bowl between us, her small image reflected in my dark pupils, it feels like the whole world has narrowed down to just her existence.

  "Why aren't you eating?" Manman picked up her chopsticks and scooped up some noodles, only to find him sitting across from her, motionless. Under the table, his long legs had stretched out to touch hers, warm and intimate, just like the entwined legs in the artistic painting by Jiang Mei on the wall. Luckily, the steam rising from the food blocked her face, or else Manman felt that her face would have turned bright red with embarrassment.

  Afraid that his daughter-in-law would think he disliked the food she made, Jiang Dashao hastily scooped up the noodles and put them in his mouth. As soon as the food entered his mouth, it was like the first time he had eaten her instant noodles - unstoppable. He didn't even need to say "delicious", his actions proved everything. Within five minutes, a bowl of noodles disappeared into his belly, and he held out an empty bowl asking: "Is there any more?"

  "Here." Mianmian hastily stood up, stretched out her hand to take the bowl, and touched his hand, which was equally hot. Yuèyá's eyes blinked in surprise.

  Comrade Jiang Yan deeply felt that the car had long been filled with oil, waiting for his wife's green light to turn red, and then full fire power would be unleashed. The timing of this spark was truly opportune. With a reverse grab, he wrapped her soft hands in his palm, pulled, and across the table, first pressed his mouth against hers, making the newly ignited flame rapidly rise in temperature.

  Mengmeng closed her eyes and suddenly felt the room spinning around her, only to find herself being scooped up by a large hand. Startled, she opened her eyes to find herself lying on the bed.

  Jiang Dashao, who had been eager to rush into his wife's door, was suddenly stopped by the pure and clear eyes in front of him. He felt a pang in his heart and braked hard: "If you're not ready, Manman, we'll do it another day—"

  Xiu covered his mouth with her hand and said with a choked voice: "I understand, if we don't do this kind of thing after getting married, it's not called being husband and wife."

  He was so moved by her words that he first put out the fire and helped her adjust her clothes: "You are my wife, I even more cannot force you to do such things."

  "Ah Yan?"

  That's what they say, but can this fire be extinguished just because they say it can?

  "I'm going to take a shower." He said, and then rushed straight into the bathroom to turn off the faucet.

  Manman sat on the edge of the bed, idle and bored, because the room had just been cleaned and tidied up by Jiang Mei. Listening to the sound of washing in the bathroom, suddenly a series of restricted-level images flashed through her mind, making her even more embarrassed. Seeing that there was an LCD TV in the room, she casually picked up the remote control on the bedside table and pressed the power button, but accidentally turned on the connected DVD player instead.

  A white flash of light flickered on the screen, and the next moment, a giant pillar appeared, aiming at the hole and preparing to charge.

  Glasses slipped down from the bridge of his nose halfway.

  I believe this thing is definitely not what Jiang Mei saw, so it's...

  Under the faucet, he finally put out the flames that had engulfed half his body. Jiang Dashao wrapped himself in a bathrobe and walked out, planning to sleep in the next room. As soon as he walked out, he heard "Hmm hmm" "Wu wu" "Hmmm... want..."

  Jiang Dashao's pale face suddenly turned into a Guan Gong face, his eyes scanned and saw his daughter-in-law holding the remote control, looking shocked. He rushed over, covering the screen with his body: "Manman, listen to my explanation, this, this is not mine, it's Mowen Yang's."

  "I heard from Chun Xia that Shifu Ge is also studying this." Manman adjusted her glasses and tried to justify it for him and herself.

  Hearing her say that, isn't it proof of one's own incompetence? Jiang Dashao's face was so gloomy as he said: "Manman——"

  A high-pitched female voice suddenly came from the TV.

  The two of them jumped up at the same time, and a red flush quickly spread across their faces.

  Manman quickly turned around and covered her face with her hands: Will I scream? Will I be like this in the future? It's so embarrassing.

  "Ah." At this moment, he could feel the passion being stirred up like a wife, his two hands wrapped around his wife, affectionately nibbling on her neck.

  No wonder some people say that when doing this kind of thing, putting on a passionate play on the side is not wrong, just like a car needs to be racing to be exciting.

  This time, the horsepower was three times that of before, but Jiang Dashao found out that this kind of racing didn't care about horsepower or level, on the contrary, it cared about road skills. Anyway, he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, and as a first-time driver at the scene, he was really caught off guard by Du Yu. He had been turning for half a day, accelerating, reversing, then accelerating again, and reversing again, but still couldn't get past the entrance of the old lady's house.

  The sweat of two people soon soaked the quilt. Manman felt that she was fine, but Jiang Dashao, who was driving, was sweating profusely on her head. For Jiang Dashao, running 100,000 miles in the wilderness might not be as difficult as struggling to find a way out at this moment.

  At last, the car finally squeezed through the gate.

  The person below suddenly let out a dull hum.

  Chiang Da Shao slammed on the brakes again and reversed to check the road conditions.

  At a glance, the road was splattered with blood, which frightened him. A phone call went to Jiang Mei's end.

  "The Wedding Night"

  Jiang Mei left her brother's house and suddenly remembered that she had left something at her mother's house, so she went back to her mother's house. She asked her son to wait outside the door and planned to quietly enter and leave without disturbing her mother.

  Just as she had taken the things and was about to leave, Jiang Mu suddenly put on her old glasses and walked out of the room with a photo album in hand. Seeing her, she pulled up her glasses and said: "You're here? Just in time, help me take a look."

  "Mom, what's going on?" Jiang Mei walked over with a sigh.

  Jiang's mother spread out a large photo album on the table, studying each picture with her old glasses and said: "I'm finding a blind date for your brother. I just got this matchmaking book from a matchmaker. Take a look, which girl is prettier and suits your brother's taste?"

  My younger brother just got married today.

  "Mom, I'd better not comment on this. You know Ah Yan has a weird temper and no one in the family can make decisions for him."

  "Hmm." Jiang Mu knew she would only stand by her son's side, but she had a plan. She put away the family photo album and changed the subject, "The Lu family's daughter-in-law said they're having a full moon banquet, Commander Lu might come back to attend, and Old Master Lu might make an appearance. I've thought it through, let's bring Ah Yan along."

  This is the young wife of the Lu family, referring to the daughter-in-law that Commander Lu's nephew brought home two years ago, who is also the wife of Master Jun's paternal uncle.

  The custom of full moon wine is not set up in every household, and the Lu family has never had the habit of setting up full moon wine. However, for some reason, it's said that they want to start now. Everyone is talking about the reasons behind this, and the most likely one is that Mrs. Lu wants to adopt a daughter this time, and she might be trying to find an excuse to introduce her adopted daughter to everyone. Because this young woman is a relative of Mrs. Lu's natal family.

  "Mrs. Lu's adopted daughter is out of our league, but I don't believe that among the girls attending the banquet, there won't be anyone better than her." Madam Chiang said with a hint of competitiveness, thinking that she would be surpassed by Jiang Yun.

  Wasn't there a girl better than Wen Mingzhu who hadn't been introduced to Jiang Dashao? The problem is, Jiang Dashao doesn't want anyone else, he only wants Manman. Besides, whether the two of them are compatible or not isn't something others can decide.

  Marriage is predestined by heaven.

  Jiang Mei didn't dare directly pour the basin of cold water over her mother's head, and sulkily said: "You deal with it, but I think Ah Yan won't want to go."

  "Can he be allowed to take charge?" Jiang's mother did not believe that she could not cheat Jiang Dazhu into attending the Lu family banquet. As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the door and saw her little grandson standing at the door as if eavesdropping on her words. She was startled and said, "Why do you let Dongzi stand at the door and not come in?"

  "I'm in a hurry." Jiang Mei took this opportunity to bid farewell to her mother.

  "Wait a minute, I just happen to want to go downstairs and buy something, let's go together." Jiang Mu called out to her daughter, went into the house to grab a purse, and went downstairs with her daughter and little grandson.

  A group of people walked to the door, just about to part ways, when suddenly they saw a middle-aged woman with a quiet demeanor and two handsome young men walking out of the gate of the large courtyard next door.

  Jiang's mother narrowed her eyes and looked carefully: "Huh? Isn't that Mrs. Lu and her two sons?"

  Excitedly, I walked over and greeted them.

  Jiang Mei still didn't know when her mother got up and was actually so enthusiastic about the Lu family, feeling a bit embarrassed, wanting to pull her mother back.

  But then Jiang's mother swung her hand around and scolded her, "You, your dad, your brothers' supervisor's family, how can you not go greet them?"

  "Mom, but you used to——"

  "What was that? Jiang Yun..." She accidentally let it slip, and Mrs. Jiang closed her mouth, glaring at her daughter, adjusting her clothes, and turning to face Mrs. Lu who was about to get in the car.

  Mrs. Lu heard the call and turned around, seeing Jiang's mother, but because she was unfamiliar with her, she couldn't recognize who it was, so she politely said: "Hello."

  Madam Chiang saw that Madam Lu did not seem to be refusing, and her heart was delighted. She enthusiastically tried to establish a connection: "Madam Lu, are you going out? I see your two children, they're really talented. I heard that your eldest son is in the same unit as my son."

  "Is it?" Mrs. Lu looked at her son Lu Jun with a questioning gaze, unfamiliar with the official business of the troops.

  Jun Ye's gaze fell coldly on Jiang Mu's flattering face, and he thought of the time in the painting gallery when this woman had ridiculed Man Man. He sneered inwardly and said to his mother, "Jiang Zhong is now in the same class as me."

  "It's truly fate." said Mrs. Lu with a gentle and amiable tone.

  Jiang's mother heard this and became even more delighted, saying: "I've heard that Commander Lu is coming back? When is he arriving?"

  "Yes. He is going to be transferred to the municipal government for a concurrent post." Mrs. Lu thought that her husband's open transfer news was probably known to everyone, and didn't hide it, saying "As for whether he will return home first after coming back, it's hard to say."

  "Mom, Dad doesn't like people visiting our home through connections." Another handsome boy standing next to Mrs. Lu, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a similarly cold and sharp brow as Junye, his mouth slightly raised, seemingly just as displeased by Jiang Mu's expression.

  Jiang's mother was a bit embarrassed by this remark and said: "Is this your younger son who wants to go to Tsinghua?"

  "Yes, it's Lu Huan." said Mrs. Lu, "Her nickname is Huan'er."

  It's said that Mrs. Lu was able to have this younger son because her daughter Rou Rou had gone missing, and she was heartbroken to the point of being mentally unstable. She especially applied to the government for permission to give birth to a second child, so they named him Huan.

  Jiang's mother thought of this and felt that the boy named Lu Huan should have a good relationship with Lu Furen's adopted daughter. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she brought up the topic of the full moon banquet: "Lu Furen, I heard that your niece is going to hold a full moon banquet for the child?"

  "Yes."

  "Has Mrs. Lu just adopted a new daughter? Will we be able to see her at the full moon banquet?"

  "Ah?" Mrs. Lu was taken aback by Jiang Mu's sudden direct question.

  Jun Ye's eyes gleamed with a cold light: Could it be that this Jiang Mu wants the newlywed Jiang Da Shao to go and curry favor with Wen Ming Zhu?

  "Mom." Afraid that her mother would say something about wanting Mrs. Lu to help introduce a blind date for her brother at the full moon banquet, Jiang Mei hastily came over and covered her mother's mouth, "I'm in a hurry, let's go quickly."

  Xiao Dongzi couldn't bear it anymore, pouting his small mouth and saying to Jiang Mu: "Grandma, Uncle only has one woman in his heart, don't cause trouble for Uncle."

  "What does a kid know?" Jiang's mother couldn't help but scold her little grandson, then turned to face Mrs. Lu and said awkwardly, "Don't listen to him talking nonsense. He doesn't understand. My son is already thirty this year and still hasn't found a partner."

  Mrs. Lu heard all the words of their family and seemed to be thinking, only smiling, and temporarily did not respond to Mother Chiang's words.

  Jiang Mei received Jiang Da Shao's distress call at this time, and shouted in surprise into the receiver: "Didn't I tell you to be gentle?! You used so much force, how could she not faint?!" After shouting, she realized that four or five people around her were all staring at her, sweating profusely. She quickly lowered her voice and said: "You wait a moment, I'll immediately call someone over."

  "What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Jiang.

  "Mom, I have something urgent to attend to. Let Xiaodong take care of you for now." Jiang Mei was worried that something unexpected would happen on her brother's first day of marriage, so she hastily ran towards the large courtyard where her brother lived.

  Looking at Jiang Mei's running direction, Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and turned around, pressing a string of numbers on his phone.

  "Third Brother, did the doctor you brought arrive?"

  Don't say any more on the phone. He turned around and said to Mrs. Lu and Lu Huan: "Huan, you accompany your mother to get in the car, I have something to do, and I'll catch up with you after I'm done."

  "What's going on?" Mrs. Lu asked her son tensely, with a premonition that it had something to do with herself.

  The master just gave his brother a glance.

  Lu Huan immediately opened the car door and pulled her mother in: "Mom, brother has official business, I'll accompany you."

  Then, in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Lu's car drove away, and Comrade Junye strode rapidly in another direction.

  The scene suddenly turned cold, and the Lu family seemed to ignore her existence, leaving Jiang Mu somewhat stunned.

  It seems that, as Mrs. Lu said, it's indeed very difficult to climb up, with a high degree of difficulty, which has instead stirred up people's competitive spirit. At least, Mother Jiang is now hooked.

  Xiao Dongzi supported Xiao Yanjing to observe Grandma, and her small eyes rolled around: If Grandma knew that Mom and that Junye were going to visit Shu Shu and Shu Ma, what would happen?

  "The Wedding Night"

  Knowing which room Jiang Dashao lived in, Junye went there and knocked directly on the door.

  Jiang Mei, who opened the door for him, was shocked to see him: "Director Lu?" Weren't they just seen at the gate of the mansion, and Director Lu was supposed to accompany Mrs. Lu to go shopping, how did he suddenly appear at his younger brother's new house?

  "What's wrong?"

  "This..." Jiang Mei was momentarily at a loss as to where Master had obtained the information, what kind of news it was, and her younger brother's embarrassing affair, which was not easy to mention.

  "Didn't you say to call a doctor?" Leng Mei raised an eyebrow again and strode straight into the room.

  In the room, Manman woke up and sat on the bed drinking the hot red sugar water that Jiang Mei had just made. Jiang Dashao was naturally heartbroken, holding his wife's hand and asking with concern: Does it hurt?

  As soon as he heard and saw it, he knew what was going on. Jun Ye supported his forehead: Jiang Dashao's driving skills are uneducated.

  "Lu Shang Xiao?" Manman's head unknowingly lifted up, seeing Jun Ye suddenly appearing at the door, slightly startled.

  Jiang Yan knew that the other party would definitely come after hanging up the phone with Jun Ye, so he comforted his wife and went out with Jun Ye, who was covered in cold sweat.

  "If you don't know how to drive, come over tomorrow and I'll teach you!" Jun Ye said coldly with a hint of command.

  Jiang Dashao didn't respond, but in the room, Manman almost spat out her sweet tea: Can men teach men such things?

  Hearing her suppressed cough in the room, Jun Ye's eyes narrowed and he took out his ringing phone to see that it was a call from Lu Si Ling, then walked to one side.

  "Niang Niang got married today?!" Commander Lu's voice thundered through the phone, "To whom? Why didn't you tell me?!"

  "Dad." Lu Jun's downcast eyes flashed on the floor, "Nothing is certain yet."

  "Didn't you and Ziyeh do an appraisal? And what about the specimens that were sent abroad, how did it go?"

  The first batch of specimens sent abroad was tampered with midway, just as they had expected. Fortunately, they were vigilant and did not send the original specimen directly, but mixed it with someone else's blood sample and added a special fluorescent marker that was difficult to detect, thus leaving evidence of the switched specimen.

  The people who did it were more cunning than they had imagined, and for a time there was no trace of them to be found.

  It should be impossible with Wen Shidong's ability.

  After listening to his son's explanation, Lu Shuai calmed down and said, "In that case, we should be more careful in protecting Cangcang."

  "It requires cooperation from both Dad and Mom, I and Zi Ye have made sufficient preparations."

  Lu Shangxi was eager to know: "Did Nannan marry the person she wanted to?"

  It seems that Commander Lu also heard about Jin Ruowen's affairs from somewhere, and his eyes glanced at the sweet couple in the house, especially Mianmian's crescent-shaped eyes that were teased by Jiang Dashao, and his cold eyes opened a little: "Yes."

  "That's good." Commander Lu let out a long sigh on the phone, seemingly lamenting that he couldn't personally attend and witness his daughter's happiest moment in life.

  From now on, Mengmeng is going to step into happiness and must not let anyone ruin it. Lengmei's eyebrows furrowed at this, gazing deeply at Manman's face before turning away and striding out.

  Gazing at the distant iceberg's fading silhouette, Manyan carefully touched the cup and lowered her eyes: She always felt that this person was a bit strange.

  "The Wedding Night"

  Wen Shixuan refused to move into the house provided by Wen Shitong and instead rented a low-cost basement in Beijing on his own.

  Xu Yujiao was as angry as an old cow, and said to her little daughter: "Look at your dad, he's just like your sister, doesn't know how to pursue good things, always thinking about the bad ones."

  To her eccentric sister's father, Wen Huan had long been harboring a fire in her heart and continued the conversation indifferently: "Mom, even if Dad doesn't enjoy good fortune, can he stop Mom from enjoying it?"

  "It's still you who is so considerate." Fondly stroking her little daughter's face, Xu Yujiao seemed to have already seen the moment when her little daughter became a renowned master of Chinese painting and was admired by thousands. She couldn't help but boast, "You must get into the Academy of Fine Arts, let your dad and sister regret it to death."

  "Don't worry, mom. Look, even Uncle Liang and Mingzhu sister are taking care of me, providing me with free accommodation." Wen Huan believed that the sudden help from the Wen family was definitely because of her own efforts.

  Driving up to the mother and daughter, Wen Mingzhu, who just heard Wen Huan's words, sneered: This Wen Huan really thinks she is gold in the sand.

  "Mingzhu, you're here! " Xuyu Jiao warmly stepped forward, looking up and down at this long-unseen relative girl, couldn't help but praise, "Mingzhu, you are getting more and more beautiful, so beautiful that I don't know what to say."

  Wen Mingzhu smiled to herself: she was used to being praised for her beauty, and indeed, her appearance was her first capital. Even without talent, as long as a woman had natural beauty, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to make a living, including in her career and love life.

  Soon, with this beauty and the Lu family relationship, she will marry into a government official's family as desired and become an official wife.

  As they took the mother and daughter upstairs to their new home, Wen Mingzhu casually mentioned, "After Manman's sister married that good-for-nothing, do you know where they ended up living? My mom said she was worried that Manman's sister had been cheated and sold off."

  As for Manman, the 500,000 yuan that was lost made Xu Yuezhu's heart ache with regret. She scolded repeatedly: "Don't mention it, this unfilial daughter didn't say a word, just left without warning, not even leaving me a message."

  "Auntie, don't worry, if there's any news about Mianmian, I'll definitely let you know. So, if you have any news about Mianmian, remember to tell each other, so everyone won't worry." Wen Mingzhu finished speaking and turned to leave.

  Looking at Wen Mingzhu's back, Wen Yuanyu's eyes flashed: Wen Mingzhu always intentionally or unintentionally mentions Manman sister, making people feel suspicious.

  Free accommodation is available, but daily expenses cannot be reduced. Xu Yujiao continued to frown and said bitterly: "I should have asked your sister for money that night."

  Manman doesn't have much money, but at least she has some to support the family's economy. Xu Yujiao is already used to asking her eldest daughter for money, now without someone to ask for money casually, she feels itchy in her heart.

  "Mom, first find my sister." At this point, Wen Huan also thinks that Manman should return the 500,000 yuan to her mother and daughter, even if she has to sell herself or go begging on the streets with a beggar.

  But where did Manman and Poliu hide?

  Unable to get any news from Xu Yu'e and her mother, Wen Mingzhu returned home with the same question and anxiously asked Wen Shitong again.

  Wen Shitong received some information at this time, saying that a Mercedes-Benz was parked in front of the gallery yesterday and took away the boss's friend. This Mercedes-Benz, according to tracking, finally entered the courtyard of the troops. Wanting to go to the troop's courtyard to ask about the situation, Wen Shitong's people did not dare to provoke those strict-disciplined soldiers.

  The trail ends here.

  The Wen family of three was clearly anxious about this news.

  If Manman married a declining family, how did this declining family move into the compound of the military unit's headquarters and drive a Mercedes-Benz?

  If Mianmian's in-laws are not a broken family, can they drive Mianmian away by pressuring her?

  Manman's husband is revealed by Jiang Mu.

  This has to do with Wen Mingzhu being taken by Jiang Yun to a gathering of ladies that day to show off.

  Everyone looked at Wen Mingzhu's appearance, not only was she as beautiful as a flower, but also resembled the Hong Kong actress Charmaine Sheh. Just this alone made Jiang Yun deeply envious, and they all said: No wonder Mrs. Lu was so fond of her and wanted to recognize Jiang Yun's daughter as her adopted daughter.

  Jiang's mother sat at one end, pretending to be calm and sipping tea: What can she do if she looks like Shi Man? I talked to Mrs. Lu yesterday, and when the time comes, Mrs. Lu will introduce a better one for my son.

  Everyone knows that Mrs. Jiang has a proud and arrogant personality, so they all surrounded her and started talking about the good qualities of young master Jiang, saying that he is handsome and talented, with a bright future ahead of him, and it's only natural that he should be picky.

  Although Wen Mingzhu was said to be fixed for Li Zhenwei, after entering the upper class circle, she has always been interested in men who are better than Li Zhenwei and wants to use them as a second team. Now hearing that all the ladies praise Jiang Dashao, it seems that he is even better than Li Zhenwei. Her heart itches and she also stretches her head to take a look.

  Jiang's mother brought her son's photo to attract the madam of a family with daughters.

  Chiang's photo was displayed prominently.

  Wen Mingzhu's pupils suddenly shrank into small circles, and her hand holding the teacup trembled like autumn leaves falling from trees, with tea water flowing out of the cup.

  "Mingzhu, your skirt." The person sitting next to her, Jiangyun, saw it and hastily helped her pull down the hem of her dress, while also showing his displeasure at her carelessness.

  Wen Mingzhu's heart was racing like crazy, staring at the photo of Jiang Dashao and the vagrant who looked exactly like him, with a 100% match. Even their names were identical when asked just now.

  Pinched his thigh hard, the person in the photo didn't change, it's not a dream!

  It has become a nightmare come true!

  "Bright Pearl?"

  All the ladies noticed her unusual demeanor, including Mrs. Jiang.

  The corner of her eye caught Jiang Yun's questioning gaze, and Wen Mingzhu's stiff face twitched, forcing out a faint smile: "I was startled by this photo."

  "Startled by a photo of my son?" Jiang Mu wrinkled her nose.

  Jiang Yun was dissatisfied.

  This made Mingzhu calm down, guessing that Jiang Mu was still unaware of Manman's marriage to Jiang Dashao. She smiled slyly at the corner of her mouth: "Auntie, I'm a distant sister, although this sister is not familiar with my family at all, but some things about this sister have been passed on to us here. Who made this sister do shocking and unconventional things every day, making our family feel embarrassed? One of them was yesterday, eloping and registering with someone. The object of this elopement happened to be Auntie's son today."

  "What?! Jiang's mother jumped up, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm telling you!"

  "Mingzhu, this kind of thing can't be spoken recklessly, we must speak with real evidence." Jiang Yun was delighted to see Jiang Mu's defeated appearance, and on the surface, she hypocritically lectured her future daughter-in-law, while in reality, she secretly encouraged Wen Mingzhu to continue speaking.

  "If Auntie doesn't believe me, she can go back and ask. But I think my sister's name, Auntie must have received some news about it before. My distant sister is called Wen Man." With the support of her future mother-in-law, Wen Mingzhu spoke even more boldly.

  It's all overgrown!

  Jiang's mother plopped down into her chair, never having thought that her son would make the move of striking first and reporting later.

  "This isn't enough, Wen Mingzhu's heart is burning with anger, wanting to continue speaking, best if she can say it until Jiang Mu's face turns red: 'Everyone, regarding this distant sister of mine, the things she does one by one, I don't know how to describe them. Although she doesn't look great, her methods are not something ordinary women can do, her own paintings aren't good enough to be displayed, yet she steals other people's paintings and prints her own name on them.'"

  Everyone listened to Wen Mingzhu's words and imagined a woman who was not only ugly but also had the heart of a snake and scorpion, and couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Mrs. Jiang.

  Jiang Mu's face turned pale and her blood slowly drained away.

  "Is what this lady just said true?"

  At the entrance of the tea pavilion, a pleasant male voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to look over.

  Digression

  Wishing you all a happy New Year's Day!
