Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 A Lonely Person_1

“There’s nothing we can do, we don’t have money, how can we plan a wedding?” Wang Minfang sighed, she wanted to have a proper wedding, not just register for a marriage certificate and be done with it.

“Isn’t it strange? Zhang knows the Qing family isn’t providing expenses, but how could they expect him not to contribute any money for marrying their daughter? When I got married, my in-laws paid for everything, even my wedding clothes.” Meng Yunhan continued to subtly provoke Wang Minfang, quite pleased with herself.

Wang Minfang listened to Meng Yunhan’s words and felt they rang true. She then stood up and declared, “Hanhan, I must be going now.”

Meng Yunhan stood up and watched her leave, a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes.

Could Wang Minfang still happily marry Zhang this time?

The last time, she had taken quite a few precious things from her. This time wouldn’t be so easy.

May your dreams of being a teacher fail, and may you argue with your Zhang family.

She had ways of getting what she wanted. Previously, she was thinking of not getting her hands dirty, but now it seems you’ve brought this down upon yourself.

Causing trouble for you, she could manage that, without you even realizing it.

Moon festival had already passed; national day wasn’t far off, right?

To the troops.

“Commander, Commander, are you thinking of your wife again?” Lu Jianjun asked the commander, who was sitting on the ground, staring at the sky, in a low voice.

“Don’t you miss your wife?”

Lu Jianjun seemed stunned for a moment, then he looked incredulously at the commander, had he misheard? The commander was actually discussing this with him?

“Commander, I miss having a wife, but I don’t have one.” Lu Jianjun also felt the bitterness. He once had a childhood betrothed, but she was stolen by someone else; he was still alone.

The commander must be doing this on purpose.

“There’s no immediate mission now, go home if you want. By the end of the year, I should be able to go home to see your sister-in-law, and perhaps see the child.”

Lu Jianjun was taken aback, this was definitely the longest sentence the commander had spoken to him in years.

“Commander, is my sister-in-law pregnant?” Lu Jianjun was thrilled, smiling gleefully.

But an icy glare caught his attention in the very next moment, and he froze.

Feeling awkward, he said, “Then commander, really, congratulations.”

“You take a break, I authorize half a month’s leave for you.” Yun Hao then strode away, leaving Lu Jianjun standing there dumbfounded.

He hadn’t mentioned wanting to go home or taking leave.

Commander, you’re forcing me to take compulsory leave, aren’t you?

Even though my sister-in-law is pregnant, you can’t just do this!

You went home to get married before the New Year last time, and you’re doing it again this year before New Year’s. Commander, that’s not fair!

But no matter how much resentment and hardship, Lu Jianjun still had to go home. Well, he reasoned, I’m doing it for the sake of my future nephew, I’ll bear with it this year.

Anyhow, he was already used to it, right?

Qingzhao village.

The next day, Meng Yunhan heard that the village intellectuals, Zhang and Wang, had argued. The cause of the argument, of course, was about their wedding.

Meng Yunhan didn’t find this news surprising at all.

And here was Wang Minfang again.

“Hanhan, I’m back again.” Wang Minfang looked at Meng Yunhan with a bitter smile.

“Come in and sit.” Meng Yunhan invited Wang Minfang into her room.

As Wang Minfang looked around Meng Yunhan’s room, she noticed that the big red “happiness” character hadn’t been torn down, and all the furniture was new. She thought about her own situation: she had merely mentioned to her man that they should ask his parents to send money for the wedding, but he had disagreed. A few sharp words from her and they were quarreling.

“Hanhan, does your husband treat you well?
