Chapter 72 Be a Scoundrel

Sun Xiaoyue really wanted to rip out Jiang Zhizhi's tongue; why did she have to talk so much?

Upon hearing this, Song Wanying immediately tensed up: "Xiaoyue, you can't negotiate such conditions. Although your father has been sent to the countryside, he can still go back if the organization investigates his problems clearly."

"If you marry into a family like that, you'll suffer endlessly in the future."

Sun Xiaoyue couldn't say that Jiang Donghua would be very successful in the future and that his future was limitless.

He could only keep a straight face and say, "Mom, he's very good to me. He's a thoughtful and ambitious young man. It's just that he's not in the right place at the right time. If universities were more open, he would definitely be able to get into university."

Song Wanying frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? He's just an educated youth sent to the countryside. Even if they go back to the city now, they won't be able to get good jobs. What will you do in the future? Are you going to live with his family?"

"Xiaoyue, you can't be foolish. You absolutely can't fall in love here. When your dad and I return to Beijing, we'll arrange a suitable match for you."

Sun Xiaoyue disgustedly tried to shake off Song Wanying's hand: "Mom, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

Jiang Zhizhi saw her eyes flicker and knew she was trying to steer the conversation towards her, so she quickly said, "Mom and Dad, Xiaoyue is right. You don't need to worry about her. She's really capable now."

Sun Xiaoyue glanced sideways and glared at Jiang Zhizhi, knowing that she was sure to say something nice later.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhizhi slowly said, "Xiaoyue is now making some mung bean cakes and selling them secretly, and she's made quite a bit of money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying's expressions changed. Doing business in secret was a big mistake!

Song Wanying looked at Sun Xiaoyue angrily: "How could you do this? What happened to the money and food coupons your family gave you? Selling things secretly, aren't you ashamed? I told you, you should spend more time reading books."

Sun Xiaoyue was furious, but there was nothing she could do to Jiang Zhizhi, so she could only try to argue: "Mom and Dad, I didn't. I just did a little bit to try it out."

Jiang Zhenhua coughed again in anger: "You...you must not do anything reckless. Speculation and profiteering will get you arrested and severely punished. Just stay here peacefully for a few years, and I'll find a way to get you back to Beijing."

Sun Xiaoyue was furious, but she couldn't say anything.

If she gets angry, her image in front of Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying will collapse!

He could only swallow his anger: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I won't do it again. I will definitely work hard."

Jiang Zhenhua stared at Sun Xiaoyue for a while, then shook his head: "Xiaoyue, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. At a time like this, we must not let anyone find any fault with us. Just accept the labor education without worry."

Sun Xiaoyue could only nod stiffly: "Mom and Dad, I remember. I acted impulsively at the time, and I will definitely not make the same mistake again."

Song Wanying patted her hand: "Everyone makes mistakes, as long as you correct them. By the way, could you invite your parents to meet your boyfriend? It would be good for them to give you their opinion."

Sun Xiaoyue was unwilling and was still trying to find a reason to refuse.

Jiang Zhizhi spoke first: "She probably wouldn't dare. She told Jiang Donghua, 'My father is the commander of Xiangshan Compound. It's inappropriate for you to appear here looking like this.'"

Sun Xiaoyue finally lost her temper and roared, "Jiang Zhizhi, what do you think you're doing?!"

Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "Why are you so angry? Didn't you say all of this at the educated youth settlement? Didn't you promise many educated youth that our Commander Father would solve their problems of returning to the city and finding jobs?"

Sun Xiaoyue's face turned bright red, and she really wanted to rush over and strangle Jiang Zhizhi.

Jiang Zhenhua frowned upon hearing this: "Xiaoyue, how could you tell such a lie?"

Song Wanying disagreed: "Xiaoyue, you're going a bit too far. Is it shameful for your father and me to be sent to the countryside?"

Sun Xiaoyue's brain, which had lived an extra lifetime, was still sharp. Her eyes darted around, and she started crying aggrievedly, hugging Song Wanying: "Mom, I don't think you're shameful. It's just that when I first came to the educated youth settlement, they bullied me because I was dark and ugly."

"I can only make up a backstory so they won't bully me."

That makes sense now.

When Song Wanying heard Sun Xiaoyue say that she was dark-skinned and thin, she thought of the hardships Sun Xiaoyue had suffered in the countryside and tearfully said, "Silly child, you have really suffered."

Jiang Zhenhua frowned and remained silent, clearly disapproving of Sun Xiaoyue's excuse.

Jiang Zhizhi glanced at them, taking in Song Wanying and Jiang Zhenhua's attitudes, and smiled without taking it to heart.

Seeing Song Wanying crying while holding Sun Xiaoyue, she looked at Jiang Zhenhua and asked, "Dad, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Zhenhua sighed: "I was injured by a bullet that went through my lung before. This time, I couldn't stand the weather here. I always felt suffocated and couldn't breathe at night. I only applied to be hospitalized to rest because I really couldn't take it anymore. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Jiang Zhizhi still admires these heroes who were injured for the country, and who still have a loyal heart even after being wronged.

She won't do it, she'll hold a grudge!

Jiang Zhenhua patted Jiang Zhizhi's hand: "Zhizhi, don't worry, I'm fine. I've thought about it, since you don't want to marry Xiye, then you won't. It's good that you can take care of yourself now."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I can do it. I'm a technician in Qingquan Village now. I have a place to live and I get food coupons every month."

Jiang Zhenhua nodded repeatedly: "That's good. The reason I arranged for you to marry Xiye was so that you would have a place to live. Besides, I had promised the Zhou family, so I couldn't go back on my word. Now that you two children are not meant to be, then let it be."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled at Jiang Zhenhua: "Thank you for your understanding, Dad. I didn't expect you to be here too. Please give me your address so I can visit you sometime."

She only mentioned seeing you, not all of you. The meaning is clear: even if she goes to see you, she'll only be seeing Jiang Zhenhua, not Song Wanying.

When Song Wanying heard that Jiang Zhizhi had become a technician, she realized that Jiang Zhizhi must be living a better life than Sun Xiaoyue.

Pushing Sun Xiaoyue aside, she looked at Jiang Zhizhi with displeasure: "Where did you get your technician?"

Jiang Zhizhi didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Song Wanying frowned: "You can't do anything, you're always idle and uneducated, what qualifications do you have to be a technician? Did you use some underhanded methods?"

Jiang Zhizhi was too lazy to explain to Song Wanying: "Think what you want, I'm living an upright life."

Song Wanying was angered by Jiang Zhizhi's nonchalant attitude and looked at Jiang Zhenhua: "Look at her attitude!"

Jiang Zhenhua waved his hand helplessly, "Take Xiaoyue out first, I have something to say to Zhizhi..."
