"Bang bang bang..."

The knocking on the door kept coming.

Shen Qingli sat up from the bed irritably.

98K stretched and said, "It's a strange smell."

A strange smell?

In other words, the visitor was someone 98K had never encountered before.

98K and his dog brothers have traveled all over the nearby villages, so the visitor is not from the nearby villages.

Who would that be?

Shen Qingli looked out the window through the curtains.

It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

so...

Who the hell is knocking on her door before dawn?

Shen Qingli touched the pillow, found the flashlight, turned it on, and used the flashlight's light to read the time on her watch.

"It's only less than four o'clock!" Shen Qingli started to get dressed irritably.

The door was almost broken by them. How could she continue to sleep peacefully?

Certainly not!

Shen Qingli usually gets up at five o'clock to run and practice martial arts. She rarely gets up so early!

By the time Shen Qingli got dressed and took 98K out of the room, the rest of the Shen family had also dressed up and left the room.

"You guys wait, I'll open the door!" Shen Qingyu said and walked out.

"I'll come with you!" Shen Mingan was afraid that his son wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so he left the main room with his son.

The knocking on the door outside was so hard, maybe it was to cause trouble.

Shen Mingan and Shen Qingyu came to the entrance of the hospital together.

98K yawned and followed the two of them out of the house.

As the only security guard in the home, it has to take responsibility.

"Who is it?" Shen Mingan asked.

Hearing Shen Mingan's voice, the knocking on the door finally stopped.

"Is this voice the second brother-in-law's?" A hesitant male voice came from outside.

"Isn't that right?" A woman said in a low voice, "We haven't moved around here for many years."

"Who do you care he is? Let him open the door first!

Didn't Old Man Liu and his granddaughter say that the thick sycamore tree at the door is your second sister's house? We searched all the way and found that there was only a sycamore tree at the door of this house. " said an old and sarcastic female voice.

Shen Mingan frowned immediately after hearing her voice.

It is true that the poor live in the busy city and no one cares about them, while the rich live in the mountains and have distant relatives!

Shen Mingan could never forget that woman's voice even in his dreams.

She was the voice of my daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, Luo Niandi.

Back then, when I went home to visit relatives, I met Luo Niandi, who sprained her leg in the county town and got lost. I kindly sent her home, but she didn't care whether she was married or not and insisted on giving her daughter to him.

She said that her family was too poor to open the pot, and begged him to take her daughter away, otherwise she would sell her to the old widower in the next village who had just beaten his wife to death.

Shen Mingan accidentally caught a glimpse of the scars on Zhao Xiufen's arms and the frostbite on her hands. Knowing that the girl was having a hard time at home, she felt pity for her.

It just so happens that she doesn't have a wife yet, and Zhao Xiufen is pretty good-looking, and seems to be hardworking and capable, so she should be a good wife.

Seeing that Shen Mingan's expression relaxed, Luo Niandi continued: "As long as you can come up with fifty kilograms of grain, even coarse grains, my second daughter will be yours from now on, and she will have nothing to do with our family from now on!"

Although Shen Mingan didn't have food, he had money and food stamps. However, the money and food stamps were for his family, because the reason why he went home was because his mother cried to him on the phone that there was no food at home!

So...he can't use these food stamps to get himself a wife.

But... this girl looked really pitiful. She was so thin that she had no human shape. If he got a little closer, he could hear the gurgling sound from the girl's stomach.

Although the others looked malnourished, he did not hear the sound of hunger in them. It was obvious that she did not have enough to eat at home or had no food at all!

The food stamps cannot be touched, and the salary lady knows how much he has paid, so she cannot touch them either!

What can we do then?

Just leave?

Can...

Shen Mingan couldn't bear it anymore.

But he knew that if he went home and told his father and mother that he needed fifty pounds of grain to marry a wife, they would definitely disagree!

After all, the times are bad now, and food is very valuable.

They don't have enough to eat themselves, so how can they ask him to use the food to get a wife?

At this moment, Shen Mingan thought of the bonus he had saved privately.

It seems like this is all we can do!

Shen Mingan agreed to Luo Niandi and agreed to use fifty kilograms of grain to marry Zhao Xiufen, and left six yuan for Luo Niandi to buy a dowry for Zhao Xiufen.

Under Luo Niandi's happy farewell, Shen Mingan did not go home, but turned around and went to the county seat again.

Shen Mingan went to the guest house to find a room, changed out of his military uniform, and left the guest house in casual clothes.

I found a deserted corner, put on simple makeup, and put on a patched cotton-padded jacket that I had worn at home before.

His appearance now is very different from before he put on makeup, because he doesn't want to be discharged from the army yet, so he doesn't want to be recognized by others.

After preparations were completed, Shen Mingan went to the black market.

This was the first and only time in his life that he went to the black market.

The reason why he knew the location of the black market was because he accidentally discovered it when he was wandering around the train station today and wanted to buy something to take back.

Food on the black market is now almost more expensive than meat!

Shen Mingan almost spent all the bonuses he had saved for many years before he bought fifty kilograms of grain, only five kilograms of fine grain, and the rest was all coarse grain.

The next day, Shen Mingan did not check out, but left the guest house directly to go home.

Because the food was hidden in the guest house, Shen Mingan specifically told the waiters not to enter his room to clean.

When the waiter heard that the army's confidential documents were stored inside, he immediately promised not only that he would not go in, but would also help him keep an eye on it and not let anyone in.

After Shen Mingan returned home, Mrs. Shen didn't care whether her son suffered hardships outside? Has it been a smooth journey? Instead, he asked for money and food stamps.

After Shen Mingan handed over his wages and food stamps, he went into the house and said to Old Shen: "Dad, I want to marry a wife, because I saved her mother, so I don't need betrothal gifts, just bring her back."

Shen Mingan was afraid that Old Shen and Old Mrs. Shen would disagree and did not dare to say that he had spent fifty kilograms of food to marry this wife, so he lied specifically.

"No, I don't agree!" As soon as Mrs. Shen entered the room and heard that Shen Mingan was going to marry a wife, she immediately objected: "Doesn't this mean we need one more mouth to eat? Our family doesn't have much food to begin with. If you have one more mouth, you This is going to starve us to death!"

Old Shen frowned and said nothing. He felt the same in his heart!

"The food stamps and money I brought back this time are enough to buy food!" Shen Mingan said to his mother for the first time.

"There is such a shortage of food. Even if you have food stamps, you may not be able to buy food." Old Shen finally said.

What he means is that he disagrees!

At this moment, an angry shout came from outside the door: "Are there any parents like you?"
