Chapter 218 Jiangling Miscarriage

In her opinion, low salary is nothing. As long as she can stay away from those psychopaths, everything is fine.

All aspects of Zhuifeng Island's resources lag behind those of the outside world by at least five years.

"By the way, I just heard you say that your mother-in-law came to take care of you. How are your days in the imperial capital? What are your in-laws like?"

After Xia Jing finished speaking about herself, she remembered that her niece had gone to the imperial capital.

"My parents-in-law are both very nice people. My father-in-law doesn't have any airs of superiority. My second sister and eldest brother are also nice people." Xia Mi took out the clothes she bought for her aunt. "This is what I saw in the store. The size should be suitable for you. I'll give it to you as a New Year's gift."

Xia Jing accepted the gift and shared gossip about the Xia family with Xia Mi.

The He family and the Xia family are relatives. Although the two families no longer interact with each other, they still secretly keep an eye on each other's news.

It was also from He Yuntang's sister-in-law that Xia Jing learned that the Xia family was not doing well recently, and Xia Jinkuo was even sent to the hospital due to anger.

For some unknown reason, the daughter-in-law was taken back by the Xia family.

Xia Jing no longer has any resentment towards her elder brother. Although her life was hard in the past, fortunately everything is moving in the right direction, and her elder brother has just begun his own hard life.

This news also surprised Xia Mi, this family was once so high-spirited.

Times have really changed and things and people are no longer the same.

"Sister." Yaya ran in from outside. It was He Yuntang who came back.

"Xiao Mi, have some cookies." He Yuntang had just visited a newly opened grocery store. "This one is much bigger than the other one, and it has a wider selection. I bought some pastries and some vegetables."

When Yaya heard the word "biscuit", her eyes lit up for a moment and she looked at Xia Mi expectantly.

It was the kind of animal biscuits in a glass can that Xia Mi had seen many times in the supply and marketing cooperative in Qingcheng. He Yuntang also bought another kind of biscuits, which were coated with a layer of white sugar granules.

"Yaya, try one first." Xia Mi gave a piece of biscuit to Yaya, and she ate it last.

It tastes very sweet and greasy as soon as you put it in your mouth, with a light milky aroma. Xia Mi doesn't like overly sweet things, so she ate one piece and then stopped.

They had lunch at Jiang Shengmei's house. Xia Mi chose the right time and set off with Xia Jing.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Zhao Min squatting on the ground plucking chicken feathers with skillful movements. Only a week after she came back, all the jewelry on her body had been taken off.

Who could have imagined that a week ago, Zhao Min was still an official's wife living a life of luxury in the imperial capital.

"mom."

Zhao Min looked up at the sound and saw Xia Mi. "Xia Mi, come and help me clean my sleeves. There's chicken blood on my hands. When I killed the chicken, it moved around and the blood splashed on my hands. Don't get your clothes dirty."

Only then did Xia Mi notice that the clothes on her mother-in-law were Jiang Shengmei's.

Her eyebrows were throbbing. Was this still her mother-in-law who said the fabric was rough and prickly and bad for the skin?!

Xia Mi stepped forward to help her mother-in-law roll up her sleeves, "Mom, can you kill chickens?"

"Of course I can't. When your father went out to fight, I was the only one who took care of everything at home. I can't let an old man like him kill chickens and do rough work."

Zhao Min's movements were quick and decisive, and she quickly cleaned up the chicken feathers.

"Don't throw away these chicken feathers. You can exchange them for something else." Zhao Min looked at the chicken feathers worriedly, worried that Xia Mi would throw them away.

Xia Mi nodded in agreement.

"Shengmei, didn't you say Xiaoling would be coming back too? Why haven't you seen her yet?"

Fan Chunhua was cooking. When she was almost done, she still couldn't see Jiang Ling. She was worried that the food would get cold after cooking.

Jiang Shengmei also felt strange. They said they would arrive in the morning, and she thought Jiang Ling would come with Xia Jing and the others. Now it was already twelve o'clock, and no one had arrived yet.

"Then I'll stir-fry the vegetables first and keep the dishes that get cold easily warm in the pot until we get back before we start eating."

Jiang Shengmei agreed, but couldn't help but feel worried.

When it was almost one o'clock, Jiang Weidong was getting a little impatient and wanted to start eating right away, but was persuaded by Jiang Shengmei.

Everyone gathered outside the yard, looking outside from time to time, and everyone was waiting for Jiang Ling.

Another half an hour passed, and Jiang Shengmei's patience was completely gone. She thought Jiang Ling was not coming, and she spoke with anger.

"Let's eat. No more waiting. So many people have been waiting for her for an hour and a half. This girl must have been delayed by something and couldn't come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ling arrived, bringing Gao Zhilei with her.

Everyone thought it would become a battlefield for a crusade, but unexpectedly, they saw Jiang Ling, who was pale and weak, wearing a cotton hat and a thick scarf, and was wrapped up tightly from head to toe.

Several elders with rich life experience saw the problem at a glance.

"Xiaoling, how did you get into this state!"

There was no doubt that Jiang Shengmei's tone was distressed, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She and Fan Chunhua took a few steps forward and snatched Jiang Ling from Gao Zhilei. One of them was concerned about Jiang Ling, while the other was responsible for questioning Gao Zhilei.

Jiang Ling was sent into the house to rest. Fan Chunhua directly called Gao Zhilei into the house. Li Jiajia also noticed the problem and hurriedly got up to follow him.

"Jingchen, come here."

Zhao Min called Huo Jingchen into the kitchen, and the mother and son began to heat up the dishes. "You and Instructor Li and the others will eat first. Don't worry about us. Go do whatever you need to do after you finish eating."

Huo Jingchen nodded and began to cooperate with Zhao Min.

Xia Mi was responsible for bringing the hot dishes to the table.

She had just put down the last dish when a crisp slapping sound came from inside the room and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Jiang Weidong, who was sitting in the main seat, had a face so dark that it could be used to grind ink.

Xia Mi looked towards the house worriedly, and saw Li Jiajia and Fan Chunhua coming out.

"Captain Jiang, please go in and take a look yourself."

Fan Chunhua's eyes were wet and the tip of her nose was red, obviously she had just finished crying.

Li Jiajia was filled with anger.

Xia Mi originally wanted to get closer to Li Jiajia to find out what was going on, but she sat down the next second and started cursing angrily.

"Gao Zhilei, this pig-headed beast, can't even protect his own wife. He's unworthy of being a teacher."

"Jia Jia!" Li Weimin reminded Li Jia Jia, "What happened?"

"Sister Xiaoling had a miscarriage. A few days ago, when she was visiting relatives, she was pushed by Gao Zhilei's relative's child and fell down the stairs."

Except for Fan Chunhua and Li Jiajia who knew the news, everyone else was shocked by the news.

"This isn't the most infuriating thing. Gao Zhilei's mom forced Sister Xiaoling to forgive the child, and Gao Zhilei, that loser, stood in the middle, hesitating, and followed his mom to persuade Sister Xiaoling."

"Sister Xiaoling didn't agree, so the relatives came to disturb her and it was so noisy that she couldn't rest well."

No wonder his face looks so bad...

Xia Mi felt angry when she heard this, let alone Jiang Shengmei and Jiang Weidong who were parents.

Jiang Weidong just went in, and he thought he had figured out what had happened.

Just as Xia Mi was thinking about it, a scream came from inside the house. It was from Gao Zhilei.
