Chapter 5

Seeing that cold gaze, Wang Guifen swallowed nervously, then reluctantly said, “Alright, alright.”

She took a large basket out of the cabinet.

Jiang Muning stepped forward and looked down. Inside were all good things: two packs of Two large cigarettes, two bottles of Spring Festival wine, and two bottles of orange canned goods.

These things were already very expensive, and Qin Muye had also prepared several pounds of pork belly.

No wonder Wang Guifen was reluctant to give them away, this return gift was really generous.

Jiang Muning was about to take everything, but Wang Guifen immediately took out the two packs of Two large cigarettes.

“Mom, this is for my family, prepared by Muye.” Jiang Muning grabbed the cigarettes.

“Those are enough, I have use for these cigarettes.” Wang Guifen held onto the cigarettes.

Thinking about her eldest son who only smoked dry tobacco, these two packs of cigarettes were perfect for him.

Her hands were strong, Jiang Muning couldn’t pull the cigarettes away, she looked at her support for help.

Receiving her signal for help, Qin Muye took a long stride, took the cigarettes from Wang Guifen’s hands, and put them back in the basket.

“Second son!” Wang Guifen yelled angrily.

Qin Muye picked up the basket, put the sugar and noodles in, and said calmly, “Mom, this is a return gift I prepared for Muning, you can’t take any of them.”

He hoped that her family would be her support, so that if he was not home, she would be bullied, and her family could stand up for her.

Wang Guifen was furious. She didn’t expect Qin Muye to be so considerate to this Jiang Muning.

Jiang Muning held his arm and said to Wang Guifen with a charming smile, “Mom, we’ll go now.”

With that, Jiang Muning left with Qin Muye, under Wang Guifen’s eyes that were full of hatred.

Jiang’s family and Qin’s family were in the next village. When they walked out of the village, Qin Muye stopped.

Hmm?

Qin Muye took out some tickets from his pocket and handed them to her.

Jiang Muning curiously took them, and saw that they were several cloth tickets, grain tickets, and meat tickets, and even twenty yuan.

“These, for me?” Jiang Muning looked at him in disbelief.

Qin Muye still had a cold face, and he hummed in a low voice.

In this era, tickets like grain tickets were still very useful. Unexpectedly, Qin Muye had prepared so many, giving her enough face.

“Thank you, Muye.” Jiang Muning raised her charming face, her smile as bright as a flower.

Her smile was bright and moving, and Qin Muye was stunned for a moment, quickly looked away, and strode forward.

Jiang Muning was in a good mood, humming a song as she walked forward happily.

Finally, they arrived at Shuigou Village. The villagers saw the return gifts Qin Muye brought, and their faces were full of envy.

Jiang Muning walked behind Qin Muye, watching him walk forward familiarly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Finally, they arrived at the innermost Jiang’s house. The Jiang’s house was a typical adobe house in the countryside. The not-so-big house housed a family of five.

Before they got close, they saw Jiang’s mother, Cuilan, standing at the door, waiting anxiously.

Seeing Jiang Muning, a smile spread across her wrinkled face: “You’re here, Muning and the new son-in-law are back.”

Jiang Muning stepped forward and sweetly called out, “Mom.”

Since she had taken over the original owner’s body, she would naturally be filial to her parents.

“Mom.” Qin Muye called politely.

“Oh, come in and sit down.” Li Cuilan happily pulled Jiang Muning’s hand and walked towards the house.

Walking into the house, they saw her father, Jiang Guochao, her second brother, Jiang Huai, and Jiang Heng, who had changed his core.

It is said that fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, and tears well up in their eyes… This is impossible.

After all, she and Jiang Heng had fought so many times when they were young, they couldn’t count them with both hands and feet.

Li Cuilan saw so many things, she exclaimed, “These are too much.”

“It’s supposed to be.” Qin Muye was concise.

Seeing so many sincere return gifts, Jiang Guochao and his wife nodded in approval, feeling that their daughter was valued in her in-laws’ house.

Previously, because Qin Muye was successful, they were worried that Jiang Muning would be bullied in the Qin family, so they deliberately asked for less money for the wedding dowry, just hoping that they would treat Jiang Muning well.

As a result, Qin Muye gave them a very generous dowry.

Seeing them come back, Li Cuilan quickly went to the kitchen to cook, while Qin Muye was pulled aside by Jiang Guochao to chat.

Jiang Muning walked into the kitchen: “Mom, I’ll help you.”

Seeing her, Li Cuilan quickly said, “You child, the smell is strong here, what’s there to help, go out quickly.”

Hearing her words, Jiang Muning’s eyes turned red.

The original owner’s parents had always loved her, but after she married into the Qin family, she cut off contact with her family.

Because Wang Guifen said that if she dared to interact with her family and help them, she would come to her family to make trouble and make them uneasy.

So, the original owner, who didn’t want to involve her family, really didn’t dare to interact with them much, and she never saw her family until she died.

She remembered that when she casually mentioned the original plot, Li Cuilan cried herself blind when she learned of Jiang Muning’s death.

“Are your eyes smoking?” Li Cuilan was full of anxiety.

Jiang Muning shook her head and hugged her, acting spoiled: “I just want to spend more time with my mother.”

Li Cuilan smiled brightly and said with affection, “You child, you’re already married, and you’re still like a child. That Wang Guifen is always fierce, you can’t be like this in the Qin family. Be more diligent, she’ll be better to you.”

Jiang Muning sighed silently, the original owner was diligent, but in the end she still ended up being wasted.

“By the way, Mom, these are for you.” Jiang Muning gave her the tickets and money that Qin Muye had just given her.

“What are these?”

“This is from Muye.” Jiang Muning smiled and replied, “Mom, take it, improve the food at home.”

Li Cuilan quickly refused: “No need, Muye has already brought so much, you keep these.”

Jiang Muning forcefully stuffed the things into her pocket: “These are useless with me, you keep them, this is also a token of our love.”

Under her insistence, Li Cuilan had to accept them: “This child, Muye, is good, Dad and Mom didn’t see the wrong person.”

Jiang Muning didn’t deny it. It was already good enough that he could be considerate even though he had true love for the white moonlight in his heart.

Li Cuilan pushed Jiang Muning out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Heng alone. Jiang Muning quietly slipped over.

The two met and began to plot big things.

“You want to follow the army?” Jiang Heng was shocked.

Jiang Muning nodded: “I’ve thought about it, I don’t want to die in the Qin family, the best way is to follow the army. Through my observation, Qin Muye is a responsible person, even if he doesn’t love me, he will still protect me after marriage, his character is good.”

“The male lead belongs to the original owner, if you stay with Qin Muye for a long time, you’ll develop feelings for him, you won’t be willing to let him go, and you might be abused.” Jiang Heng reminded her.

Jiang Muning waved her hand: “Qin Muye loves the mysterious white moonlight, I’m not dead, the original heroine probably has no chance. Even if she does, when Qin Muye, who is a military commander, wants to divorce me, he has to give me a large sum of money.”

Jiang Heng listened to his analysis and found it reasonable.

“Then you follow the army, I’ll go with you.” Jiang Heng seemed to have made a major decision.

Jiang Muning disliked it: “Why?”

Jiang Heng patted her head: “You’re stupid, this Jiang family is poor, what kind of future can there be in the countryside? Leave the countryside, with my intelligence, I can still make a name for myself. Then, I can also help the Jiang family.”

Jiang Muning didn’t hurt, but she slapped his head back, then said with satisfaction: “Makes sense.”

“Besides, I’m good at fighting, your weak little body, if you’re bullied in the family compound, I can still stand up for you. You say, am I a good brother?”

Jiang Muning looked him up and down: “Unnecessary kindness, either a villain or a thief, what are you trying to do?”

Jiang Heng patted her shoulder: “Once a brother, forever a father.”

“…” Jiang Muning, how to kill him?

After having lunch at the Jiang’s house, Jiang Muning reluctantly left with Qin Muye.

Before leaving, Jiang Muning agreed that if she could successfully follow the army, she would come and tell him.

Walking out of the village, Jiang Muning held his hand and said with a smile, “Muye, I want to go to the army with you, follow the army.”

As the words fell, Qin Muye refused without hesitation: “No.”
