Chapter 921 Selling Myself
When Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming heard that Jiang Wenxing sold themselves to someone else as a son-in-law in exchange for food, they showed an indescribable expression on their faces, a mixture of surprise, astonishment and other emotions.
This expression was so funny that even Yue Jiayu, who had a stern face, couldn't help but soften his expression.
Jiang Wenming finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Brother, how much food did you sell yourself for? Were you really short of food at that time?"
Jiang Wenxing's wheat-colored skin actually flushed slightly at this moment. He felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head silently, and said nothing.
It was so embarrassing, and I even embarrassed myself in front of my cousin and niece.
Yue Jiayu answered for him, "There are 50,000 dan of grain, and cotton clothes, shoes, and various meats purchased for 500,000 yuan."
"Fuck!"
"So expensive?"
When the uncle and nephew heard this number, they exclaimed in unison.
Jiang Jiyun suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Wenming. Then, he thought thoughtfully of his elder brother and frowned, saying, "Uncle, I suddenly feel that you and my brother are the real money losers! Uncle Wenxing is much more valuable than the two of you!"
Yue Jiayu burst into laughter at the little girl's innocent words, and Yue Jiarou, who was standing next to Jiang Wenxing, lowered her head shyly, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Wenxing looked at his niece helplessly and said, "Xiaoyun, don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Yue Jiayu. With a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, he asked her, "Ms. Yue, I did promise to marry Miss Yue, but I didn't say that now!"
He glanced at the people outside the courtyard and said, "You suddenly brought people to my house and accused me of having a mistress. What do you mean by that? Where did these nonsense come from?"
Yue Jiarou lowered her head with a guilty conscience, her voice unconsciously lowering. "Brother Xing, actually, there are rumors outside that you buy a lot of things home every day, not only for women, but also for children. So we...we thought you had a woman at home and even had a child."
After listening to Yue Jiarou's explanation, Jiang Jiyun frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel more curious about this woman who looked weak and easily blushed.
Then Jiang Jiyun turned to look at Jiang Wenxing with a puzzled expression on his face.
She asked, "Uncle, I really don't understand why you made such an agreement with the Yue family? Your team shouldn't be short of food, right? Besides, isn't there anyone in your logistics department responsible for procuring food?"
In her memory, the Chinese army had much better resources than the Communist army, so how could they be short of food?
When Jiang Wenxing heard Jiang Jiyun's question, he couldn't help but think of that difficult time.
He frowned and recalled, "I don't know if the Japanese were launching a major counterattack at that time. Our team was desperately resisting the enemy's attack."
"Due to the natural disaster, the grain harvest was very poor and we simply didn't have enough food supply. So, when we heard the Yue family's conditions for finding a son-in-law, Brigade Lin, considering the soldiers' food and clothing issues, sent people to the Yue family."
Yue Jiayu was listening at the side, and a feeling of dissatisfaction also welled up in her heart.
She recalled the scene when those young and uneducated soldiers went to visit Yue's family, and her father was so angry that he picked up a stick and beat them out.
She snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Do you really think that anyone in our Yue family can be considered good enough?"
Jiang Wenxing touched his nose awkwardly. They had originally thought of sending the good-looking, unmarried women in the team to the Yue family to choose one.
Who knew that after the first batch was sent back, they picked out a few unmarried officers and sent them back one by one by the Yue family.
That day, Jiang Wenxing drove to the destination to pick someone up with a heavy heart.
His car stopped, the door opened, and he walked out of the car with a cold face. This scene happened to be seen by Yue Jiarou who was passing by.
Her eyes were attracted by Jiang Wenxing's handsome appearance. Yue Jiarou widened her eyes and stared at the man, with a strange feeling in her heart.
The next day, Jiang Wenxing was busy in the office as usual, dealing with piles of documents.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Lin Zonglu rushed in panting.
Without saying a word, he pulled Jiang Wenxing and ran out.
Jiang Wenxing was confused by this sudden action. He followed Lin Zonglu and asked what had happened.
It was not until they got in the car that Lin Zonglu told him that the girl from the Yue family had taken a fancy to him and that the Yue family wanted him to marry Yue Jiarou.
When Jiang Wenxing heard this, he was stunned. He immediately expressed his opposition, thinking that this marriage was inappropriate.
Seeing this, Lin Zonglu quickly persuaded him, "Wenxing, don't be so hasty to refuse. Think about those soldiers who are hungry and cold. They need our help so much!"
"If I weren't older, had a wife and children, the girl wouldn't have looked down on me and wouldn't have let you go. As long as you marry the girl from the Yue family, the Yue family will provide us with a lot of material and financial support. We will definitely repay you in the future."
Jiang Wenxing fell silent. He thought of his brothers who were fighting under difficult conditions, and felt very conflicted.
After much deliberation and hesitation, he finally agreed to the marriage.
However, Jiang Wenxing put forward a condition, that is, he would only marry Yue Jiarou after the Japanese were driven away.
He was worried that if he died on the battlefield, Yue Jiarou would become a widow, which was something he didn't want to see.
The Yue family also agreed, but the marriage certificate had to be signed. Although they did not want their daughter to be a widow, they also did not want the other party to regret the engagement after becoming successful.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed and there were no more Japanese troops in Gan Province.
As Yue Jiarou watched the city becoming increasingly peaceful, she couldn't help but think of the agreement she had made with Jiang Wenxing.
Who knew that at this time there were rumors outside that Chief of Staff Jiang had secretly kept someone at home. After Yue Jiarou knew about this, she followed her sister to Jiang Wenxing's residence.
They didn't expect that Jiang Wenxing was hiding his cousin and niece at home.
Yue Jiarou stood under the light and whispered to Jiang Wenxing, "There are no more Japanese troops in Gan Province now. Staff Officer Jiang, you should fulfill your promise."
Jiang Wenxing raised his head and looked at Yue Jiarou, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming also turned their heads and looked at Jiang Wenxing under the light, as if waiting for his decision.
Jiang Wenxing looked at his cousin and niece standing beside him and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay. Then I'll have to trouble you to go back and pick an auspicious day."
Yue Jiayu thought that she would have to argue for a while but ended up with nothing, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
Yue Jiarou also looked up at Jiang Wenxing beside her in surprise.
Jiang Wenxing saw that everyone was looking at him, so he explained, "I just found out today that my cousin and nephew are already fathers, and I can't fall too far behind!"
