In her previous life, Xu Miaomiao was sensitive and thoughtful. She was misled by her stepsister, a white lotus, causing her to become estranged from her family. She was also manipulated by her ste...
Xu Miaomiao suddenly remembered that there was something important that she hadn't discussed yet, so she told Xu Jianshe what had happened during the day.
Xu Jianshe was furious when he heard this. "You little bastard, wait for me to break his legs!"
Xu Miaomiao had no doubt about the truth of this sentence, Xu Jianshe could really do it.
"Dad, don't be impulsive. I don't like Zhang Siyi either. Let's just make it clear." Xu Miaomiao quickly advised.
"How could Dad do such a thing? What would I do if someone found out?"
After hearing his daughter's gentle and soothing voice, Xu Jianshe gave up the idea of putting the boy in a sack.
"Well, this is just a conversation between adults, and there's no formal engagement or anything. Since tomorrow is a day off, I'll take you to his house."
Xu Miaomiao was a little worried. "Will his family insist on not agreeing?"
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Xu Jianshe sneered disdainfully, "How dare he? Zhang Lin is the only one in his family who earns a salary in the factory."
"He doesn't dare to offend me."
It is true that Zhang Siyi's father is the only one in the Zhang family who works in the textile factory, and there are many children in the family.
He was just an ordinary worker, earning only twenty-three yuan a month, and had to support a large family.
If they offended Xu Jianshe, the deputy factory director, their whole family would be in dire straits.
Xu Miaomiao quickly applauded her father, "Big brother is so domineering!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu Jianshe carried his daughter all the way back home. He was just a little out of breath and didn't even sweat much.
Wang Jinhua felt heartbroken watching this scene. She had spent so much effort to alienate them, and it was all over in the blink of an eye.
Only after Xu Miaomiao returned to the room and closed the door did he tentatively speak to Xu Jianshe.
"Miaomiao, why are you in such a good mood today? It's rare that I don't give you a cold look."
After hearing what Wang Jinhua said, Xu Jianshe's face immediately darkened.
"What are you talking about! Miaomiao has always been obedient and sensible, when has she ever given me such a bad look?"
After saying that, he went back to his room and closed the door, leaving Wang Jinhua alone in the living room, disheveled in the wind.
Xu Jianshe thought about what his daughter had said to him. In the beginning, he agreed to let Wang Jinhua come in and take care of Xu Miaomiao because he thought she looked honest.
Moreover, we had already agreed with her before that marrying her was to take care of Xu Miaomiao, and her daughter's household registration would be transferred to the Xu family so that she could go to school in Beijing.
It was agreed that they would get a divorce after Xu Miaomiao turned 18, and would give her some money as compensation.
But looking at the expressions of the mother and daughter now, it seems that they will not leave so easily.
We have to think of a way.
===Dividing Line===
Early the next morning, Xu Jianshe took Xu Miaomiao to Zhang's house.
I don’t know what Zhang Siyi told his family when he came back yesterday. When the Xu family’s father and daughter arrived, all the children in the family were sent out.
Only Zhang Siyi and his parents were in the room, and there was a bright red slap mark on Zhang Siyi's face.
The Zhang family members were all pale and thin because they didn't have enough food to eat.
Only Zhang Siyi had a rosy complexion and a tall figure, which was rare because he had Xu Miaomiao's support before and Xu Aihong later.
Father Zhang, a bit hunched, came up to Xu Jianshe and said, "Director Xu, please sit down. Let's talk."
Xu Jianshe changed his demeanor in front of his daughter and displayed his factory director's aura.
"I don't need to sit down. Lao Zhang, you should know why I'm here today, right?"
"Hey, I know. It's all this brat's fault. Miaomiao misunderstood."
Father Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao and smiled ingratiatingly, "Miaomiao, don't be angry. Uncle Zhang will teach that brat a lesson for you. He won't dare to do it again."
Xu Miaomiao remained expressionless, but felt disdainful in her heart, as if the slap mark was meant for her to see.
But before coming, the father and daughter had already discussed it, and today only Xu Jianshe would come forward to talk to them.
So Xu Miaomiao didn't look at his family and hid behind Xu Jianshe. Xu Jianshe's tall figure directly blocked the sight of the three people from the Zhang family.
"What happened before was just a joke between us adults. Now the children are grown up and will have to find partners in the future. We can't ruin their reputations because of a joke!"
Xu Jianshe warned the Zhang family not to use this matter to ruin Xu Miaomiao's reputation.
Zhang's father and mother felt regretful. They had to sacrifice their reputation to persuade Xu Jianshe to agree to such a good marriage.
Zhang Siyi always felt that Xu Miaomiao liked him, otherwise why would she secretly give him food all these years?
So he said without giving up, "Uncle Xu, I want to explain this matter to Miaomiao again. I want to hear what Miaomiao has to say."
Zhang's father and mother's eyes lit up when they heard this. That's right! As long as Xu Miaomiao was coaxed, Xu Jianshe would have no other choice.
The two people quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, let's listen to the child's opinion."
Xu Miaomiao tugged at his father's clothes, indicating that he could handle it himself, and then walked out to see what shameless words the Zhang family could say.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao, Zhang Siyi hurried forward, "Miaomiao, do you really want to break up with me?"
"First, please call me Xu Miaomiao or Comrade Xu from now on. Second, we've never been together. Those child marriages are just a joke between adults."
Xu Miaomiao said it casually.
Anyway, few people knew me at the department store yesterday, and they didn't dare to spread my lies.
Besides, I will be going to the countryside soon and won’t be able to come back for two years. Who will remember me?
Zhang Siyi's eyes were red. This time he was not acting, this time it was real. He didn't expect Xu Miaomiao to be so straightforward.
"Then what is between us?"
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help laughing when she thought of what she had seen online in her previous life. "It's just my bad luck."
Zhang Siyi continued to ask, "If you don't like me, why do you keep secretly bringing me food?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't agree with this. When did she ever bring him food?
"When did I ever bring you food? I'm not Xu Aihong!"
"When I was in school, you would bring me a steamed bread every day!"
Xu Miaomiao remembered what he said. At that time, her mother had not passed away yet, and he did not want to spoil her.
So she was asked to have a steamed bun and an egg for breakfast every day, but Xu Miaomiao didn't like steamed buns, and they couldn't be wasted.
It happened that Zhang Siyi, who was not full at the time, was drooling at the sight of her steamed bread, so Xu Miaomiao gave it to him.
Zhang Siyi almost collapsed after hearing Xu Miaomiao's explanation. It felt like he had been the only one being sentimental for so many years?!
"Okay, it's settled. Don't look for our Miaomiao anymore." Xu Jianshe made the final decision.
Although the Zhang family was unwilling, they did not dare to offend Xu Jianshe, not to mention Xu Miaomiao's grandfather's family.
When Xu Miaomiao came out of Zhang's house, she felt that the shackles she had been under since her rebirth had disappeared.
