Chapter 225 Old Friends Return

Jiang Lian's eyes flashed with mockery but then quickly disappeared, pretending to be pitiful: "Shi Guan, don't you even want our child?"

She replaced the musk bracelet sent by Jiang Wanwan, carefully took care of her body, and found an opportunity to go to bed with Cheng Shiguan. She found out that she was pregnant some time ago.

He hadn't been home yet, and I hadn't had time to tell him the news.

Fortunately, I didn't tell him, so I could use it as a bargaining chip at the critical moment.

Cheng Shiguan frowned with an impatient look.

The child brought him more annoyance than happiness.

Jiang Lian didn't blame him much in her heart. After all, she only regarded him as a bargaining chip.

Who has more conscience than who else?

"Shi Guan, please don't be angry with me. I was just young and didn't see much, so I didn't notice that the top of the jade hat had been repaired. Give me a few more years, and I will definitely not make such a low-level mistake."

Jiang Lian touched her belly, tears falling on the back of her hand: "I have studied hard and memorized the notes. For the sake of the child, please give me another chance."

Cheng Duliang and Jiang Lian didn't dare to lie for the sake of the child: "Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. You two don't have to get divorced. It will only make the Cheng family look worse."

Jiang Lian lowered her head to hide her smile.

God is behind this and Cheng Du is here with him so that the child’s value can be maximized.

Because of Shen Xingjiang, Cheng Du and Gao Shulan had a huge quarrel, otherwise he would not stay here and refuse to go back. He must have used his actions to compete with Gao Shulan and force her to accept Shen Xingjiang.

The Gao family is not a small family in the capital. Cheng Du has offended people because of the jade hat, so he cannot lose the support of the Gao family now.

Besides wanting to control her husband and son, what a middle-aged woman wants most is to have grandchildren.

The child in her belly could just tie Gao Shulan to the Cheng family.

Jiang Lian knew that Cheng Shiguan's patience with him had reached its limit, so she didn't waste time on him and said obediently, "Thank you, Dad. I will definitely take good care of the child this time."

Cheng Du's expression eased a little when he heard this: "Okay, you are also considering the Cheng family. Don't make such a low-level mistake next time."

"You and Shi Guan are husband and wife, so you can study together when you have time."

Jiang Lian sneered. What a shameless person she was. She wanted Cheng Shiguan to learn calligraphy with her... After Cheng Shiguan learned it, she would give birth to the baby and kick her out, right?

No way.

"Dad, you forgot that I have burned the diary. It's all in my head. But if Shi Guan is interested, come home early. I will definitely teach him more."

Cheng Du hummed, put his hands behind his back and said, "Since you two are here, I want to tell you something."

"Xingjiang is my son. He has decided to take me back. It was my fault that he was left wandering outside for more than 20 years. You are brothers of flesh and blood. Don't let Cheng Hanzhang separate you. When you have time, persuade your mother to stop being stubborn."

"A woman is a woman, a son is a son, wouldn't it be nice to have one more person to show her filial piety?"

Cheng Shiguan was already upset: "My mother isn't dead yet, and you want to take the illegitimate child back to disgust her. Forget it, we will never agree to let Shen Xingjiang take him back."

Not only did he steal his woman, he also wanted to steal his position in the family.

Dream on.

Jiang Lian was smart enough not to say anything. Seeing that the father and son were arguing and could not come to a conclusion, Cheng Du left.

Jiang Lian took Cheng Shiguan's simple glass teacup and made him a cup of tea: "Don't be angry with Dad. As a man, you should put yourself in his shoes. If Jiang Wanwan gave birth to a child for you, you would definitely be the same as him."

She put the water next to Cheng Shiguan's hand and said, "I am on your side. I said this because I want you to know that you can't argue with him. The only way is to make him disappear."

"As for me, I have many ways. We can take it slow."

The news of Cheng Hanzhang's departure quickly spread throughout the military region and the farm.

When the Shen family found out, it was already lunchtime the next day.

Jiang Wanwan: "Brother Han Zhang doesn't like too sad occasions, so he didn't come here to say goodbye."

When Wang Cuixia heard the news of Cheng Hanzhang's departure, she reacted most violently: "Oh my god, why did he leave?"

"If he leaves, will there be no one to support the Fourth Brother? Will we be kicked out?"

Jiang Wanwan put away her smile: "Yes, you can leave now."

Shen Hongjun scolded Wang Cuixia: "What are you talking about? We were introduced by the factory director because of the fourth daughter-in-law. What does it have to do with us if Captain Cheng leaves? Apologize to the fourth daughter-in-law."

Because of Shen Sanzhu's marriage, Shen Hongjun and Wang Cuixia have been disliked by the old man and the old lady these days, and no one pays attention to them when they talk at home.

Shen Hongjun sometimes thought that Wang Cuixia was very smart, and sometimes thought that she was very stupid. At this critical juncture, he knew not to say too many stupid words.

Wang Cuixia smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, you see Second Mother is confused and I don't know what to say, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Wanwan ignored her.

After dinner, Wang Cuixia took the initiative to clean the tables and wash the dishes. After finishing the work in the kitchen, she went to sweep the yard in the hot sun at noon.

After she left, Jiang Wanwan came close to Old Lady Shen, hugged Old Lady Shen's arm and rubbed it: "Grandma, you smell so good."

The light scent of soapberry mixed with the scent of the sun makes people feel comfortable.

Jiang Wanwan hadn't hugged her like this for a long time.

Old Lady Shen touched Jiang Wanwan's forehead with her dry, rough, wrinkled hands: "I'm fine. It's their business if the Second House wants to make trouble."

"From now on, I will rely on you and enjoy the best food and drinks with you."

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, she can’t control so much.

"Our lives nowadays are much happier than those of ordinary people."

The Jiang father and daughter are the great benefactors of the Shen family.

Jiang Wanwan stayed with the old lady most of the afternoon. Although Old Mrs. Shen didn't look particularly happy, she ate half a bowl of rice more than usual in the evening.

Xu Lan stewed the eggplant with potatoes until it was soft. After dinner, Grandma Shen picked up some eggplants and ate a lot of them.

Wang Cuixia felt that the old lady didn’t look like an old person at all and her appetite was better than hers.

Jiang Wanwan went home for dinner as usual, and saw from a distance that the house was dark, the lights were off, and Shen Xingjiang had not returned yet.

Walking on the road, she was thinking about what to eat in the evening.

She also wanted to eat eggplant, but not eggplant stewed with potatoes, but eggplant with sauce.

There are cabbage leaves in the garden. The cabbage leaves are crisp, tender and refreshing, perfect for making rice dumplings in autumn.

There are a handful of peanuts in the basket hanging from the main beam of the warehouse. Fry the peanuts in oil and use them as rice wrappers. They are so delicious.

She hummed a song as she walked to the door of her house, found the key from under the brick next to her, inserted the key into the keyhole, and was about to push.

"Wan Wan, Wan Wan..."

The sudden sound and the disheveled figure that jumped out of her peripheral vision scared Jiang Wanwan so much that she screamed and jumped away.

"Ah! Who is it?"
