Chapter 260: Chapter 261: The Fifth Son’s Wife 2

"You must be tired from the journey. Come inside and rest. Let my sister-in-law make you two bowls of sweet water."

"Okay!"

Chen Jianmin nodded and led Liu Lanzhi into the house to set down the things they were carrying.

"Have a drink to moisten your throat."

As soon as they sat down, Zhou Zhaodi brought over two bowls of sweet water from the kitchen.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Chen Jianmin thanked her, followed closely by Liu Lanzhi calling out the same.

Zhou Zhaodi waved her hand, a smile on her face, and said, "We’re all family now, no need for formalities!"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced mischievously into the bags and catching sight of the malted milk packaging inside the plastic bag, her eyes lit up.

It seems there’s quite a lot. How generous.

"This is my father, my elder brothers, and their wives," Chen Jianmin took the opportunity to introduce his family to Liu Lanzhi.

This was the first time everyone except Ma Xiulian had met.

Liu Lanzhi nodded towards them and confidently greeted, "Hello, brothers, and sisters in law."

The three Chen brothers did not say much, and following the traditions of gender respect, just smiled with their dark faces.

Zhao Mei nodded back cordially, giving a slight smile.

She had the feeling that their fifth brother’s bride-to-be had a good temperament, and they would have a good relationship after she married Chen Jianmin.

Zhou Zhaodi, on the other hand, was brimming with smiles, oozing with enthusiasm. "Lanzhi, you’re really pretty, and you have a fortunate look. Our fifth brother is lucky indeed."

Carpenters earn a lot of money, don’t they!

Given that, Liu Lanzhi’s dowry will surely be substantial, and who knows, she may even be able to enjoy some of the prosperity herself.

And she was speaking the truth. Liu Lanzhi was tall and sturdy, with a fresh and open-faced appearance, which made her look lucky.

Only Li Chunhua, sitting next to Liu Lanzhi with Jinbao in her arms, staring at her intently, with jealousy evident in her eyes.

The bright red color on her lips was likely from lipstick.

And the scent of snow cream on her, a luxury she had only ever smelled on Zhao Mancao’s wife and Jiang Manyun.

Keep in mind that this lipstick and snow cream could only be bought at the department store in town, and each would cost a whopping five dollars!

She herself had never used even the cheapest one-dollar skin cream.

Li Chunhua lifted her hand to touch her own face, rough to the touch, feeling both sad and aggrieved.

Then she looked at her own clothes, and they clearly were newly made!

She herself could hardly afford a new set of clothes every year, and the one she was wearing now had faded from washing and had a few patches, making her feel even sadder and more wronged.

Ma Xiulian observed the reactions of the three people and did not speak.

Compared to the other three at home, one simple, one cunning, one foolish, Liu Lanzhi was the daughter-in-law she was most satisfied with!

Over the years, she had visited the old carpenter’s house many times and had gotten a good sense of her future daughter-in-law’s character. She was not cunning, not gluttonous, and was a diligent person.

Moreover, she had a well-built physique and seemed to be a good child-bearer.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Ma Xiulian’s eyes.

"Uncle Five!"

Chen Erbao promptly bounced up to Chen Jianmin, greeted him hastily, then turned to Liu Lanzhi, and asked casually, "Uncle Five, is this my future aunt?"

Chen Jianmin nodded shyly in response.

But Liu Lanzhi appeared quite comfortable, not showing any awkwardness, and had an attractive, lively face.

She gave a happy smile, picked up a bag from the table, and handed it to him, saying, "I bought some cakes and fruit candy, and some plums. You can take them and share."
