Chapter 606: The Original Heroine’s Counterattack 41
Yan Hui solemnly handed the key to the small box to Yuan Chun.
Yuan Chun nodded solemnly, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it."
In the first lifetime, the original character, who was quite foolish, received over a thousand yuan as a meeting gift from the Yan family elders, and more than three thousand yuan in red envelopes that Yan Hui had entrusted to her. Before long, these funds were gradually coaxed away by the Xia family.
Later, even the bracelet given by Grandma Yan was not safeguarded. It was sold by the original character to fund the Xia family’s expenses.
It was only when Yan Hui discovered that all the red envelopes he treasured were gone that he realized the original character was secretly subsidizing the Xia family.
Yan Hui wasn’t resistant to spending a few bucks on the father-in-law’s family, but it was too much when the Xia family nearly drove his wife to death.
That’s when Yan Hui decided to stand up against the Xia family.
"Yuan Chun, Mom wants us to buy New Year’s supplies. What do you want to eat? She gave us quite a few tickets for the Friendship Store, let’s head there, and I’ll buy you two new outfits for the New Year."
"No need to buy clothes, last weekend, Mom already bought me two sets, that’s enough. Let’s just buy some candy, melon seeds, and peanuts for the New Year."
"Then let’s buy a pair of leather boots, the Friendship Store received a batch of coats, we should take a look."
Yan Hui wanted to spoil his wife, and no one could stop him.
Thus, in the afternoon, Yuan Chun and Yan Hui returned with bags full of goods, half of which were clothes, shoes, scarves, and gloves that Yan Hui bought for her.
Time flew by, and soon it was New Year’s Eve.
The Yan family gathered in the courtyard, accompanying Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan for the New Year. Just as the New Year’s Eve dinner was served, a man in a green military uniform, with a tall and upright stance, walked in through the door.
The newcomer was Eldest Brother Yan.
Mrs. Yan was immediately irritated by Eldest Brother Yan’s expressionless face, "Eldest, look at your iron face, colder than steel. Don’t scare little Hui’s wife."
Grandma Yan cheerfully waved to her eldest grandson, "Xiao Yi, come, come. You haven’t met her, have you? This is Little Hui’s wife, her name is Yuan Chun."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
The straightforward man only spat out three words hard and nodded slightly, which annoyed Mrs. Yan who pinched him.
His entire body was muscled and firm, hurting Mrs. Yan’s hand as she pinched him.
The straightforward man even showed a concerned yet icy gaze, which angered Mrs. Yan, making her nearly wish to give birth to him again. How did she end up giving birth to such a stiff and cold iron block?
Like this, who would dare to marry him?
Mrs. Yan was already prepared for the possibility that her eldest son might not find a wife.
Who would have guessed that on the second day of the new year, Eldest Brother Yan would bring home a young, beautiful girl who had just reached adulthood?
Mrs. Yan was overjoyed, holding the girl’s hand and immediately asking how she could be interested in the iron block, making the girl so shy she couldn’t even raise her head.
Still, it was Yan Yi who couldn’t stand it any longer, stepping forward to rescue his young wife, "Mom, I’ve already submitted the marriage report, and we’ll be getting our marriage certificate when work resumes on the seventh."
"Not having a wedding ceremony?" Mrs. Yan asked disappointedly.
Yan Yi: "No ceremony."
"Then buy some meat to treat those boys in the department, you two should at least have a simple celebration."
"No need, I don’t have time."
Yan Yi was concise and to the point.
Mrs. Yan was aggravated again.
However, upon seeing her daughter-in-law, she turned into a lovely mother-in-law immediately, even giving a thick red envelope as a meeting gift to the eldest daughter-in-law.
When Yuan Chun and Yan Hui came back from outside, there was one more sister-in-law at home.
The sister-in-law was very young, even a few years younger than Yuan Chun, but Yuan Chun knew that while this sister-in-law appeared gentle, shy, and demure, she was actually not without her little schemes.
She didn’t want to get too close to the sister-in-law, just maintaining a surface-level relationship was fine.
Luckily, on the seventh of the new year, after Yan Yi and his wife got their marriage certificate, they headed to the department, and the sister-in-law followed along with the army. For the whole year, she didn’t get to see that sister-in-law dressed in a white flower even once.
