Chapter 45: Jade is not worth money

Without waiting for Peng Su to go in, Shen Xingjiang had already come out on his own initiative.

Jiang Wanwan will do his best to show his affection for the person he cares about.

Peng Su saw Shen Xingjiang's eyes light up, and he grabbed Jiang Wanwan's hand and said, "He's a perfect match for you!"

Shen Xingjiang made way for the door: “Please come in.”

Shy Jiang Wanwan and Peng Su entered the house together, and Peng Jing followed in with a silly smile. When he walked to the door and passed by Shen Xingjiang, he smiled even more foolishly: "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Shen Xingjiang nodded in response and asked Jiang Juan: "Will you come in?"

Jiang Jun shook his head: "I haven't finished reading the book yet, Peng Jing, come over later."

The room was so small, he didn't want to squeeze in.

He asked again: "Sister Peng Su, can Peng Jing stay here tonight?"

He is about the same age as Peng Jing. Before Jiang Jun was demoted, he also picked on cats and dogs. He and Peng Jing played around everywhere, and their relationship was no worse than that of Jiang Wanwan and Peng Su.

Peng Su smiled and nodded: "Sure, you're the only one who doesn't find this brat annoying."

Jiang Jun chuckled and went back to read.

Only then did Shen Xingjiang close the door.

The door was opened for a while, and a lot of hot air was released. Chen Xingjiang closed the door and added some coal to the stove.

After Peng Su sat down, he watched Shen Xingjiang's actions, and seeing that he knew how to work actively and efficiently, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a considerate and caring person, and she feels at ease as long as he treats Wanwan well.

Jiang Wanwan and Peng Su sat on the small bed and couldn't help sighing: "Back then we embroidered handkerchiefs here and went to school together, and now I'm married."

Peng Su nodded: "Yeah, time flies."

She sighed: "Peng Jing told me about what happened today. I'm sorry to cause you trouble again."

When talking about family matters, Peng Su's smile faded a lot.

After all, I am not at my age to be carefree. Even though I see my friends happy, I cannot resist the sadness in my heart.

Jiang Wanwan: "It's too polite to tell me that you're causing trouble. Besides, Peng Jing is thinking about you."

Peng Jing went home in the afternoon and was whipped. His buttocks were almost bruised. He didn't dare to sit down and just stood by: "I hate that I'm not a woman. If I were a woman, I could get married in exchange for a gift, so as not to embarrass my sister."

Peng Su couldn't help laughing: "You, you, what can I say about you?"

Turning around, he said, "Wanwan, don't worry about me. I have always been prepared for my problems. Although my parents want to use me to exchange for the betrothal money, they will not push me into the fire pit. If they really wanted to push me, they would have married me off last year."

"I've been looking for the right one, but I haven't found it yet."

Jiang Wanwan knew this.

Times are not easy. Many people get married after meeting each other for a few times. If someone hasn't gotten married after dating for one or two years, it's considered a rare thing, and the parents on both sides will be very worried.

Peng Su didn't want to convey his unhappiness to Jiang Wanwan, so he changed the subject: "What about the jade?"

Jiang Wanwan took out the fake jade from her pocket and said, "They will definitely come to your house to ask for it tomorrow. Just let Peng Jing give it to him. Peng Jing should be smart tomorrow and pretend to feel guilty. He will say that you were bewitched and wanted to sell fake jade, but later you felt guilty and didn't want to cause a big disaster or offend rich people, so you took the jade and ran away."

This matter was not difficult for Peng Jing: "Okay, Sister Wanwan, don't worry, I will definitely get things done clearly."

Jiang Wanwan: "Zhenyu, you'd better hide and stop letting people target you."

Peng Su nodded: "Okay."

It was getting late, so the two siblings didn't stay for long. Peng Su suggested going back: "I'll come see you tomorrow."

Jiang Wanwan: “Yeah.”

Peng Jing went around to the next door to look for Jiang Jun.

Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang sent Peng Su to the entrance of the alley leading to Peng's house. After watching Peng Su go into the house, Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang walked back.

After solving three things together today, Jiang Wanwan was so tired that she went back and fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Shen Xingjiang kissed her forehead and said, “It’s not a big person, but it saved a lot of people.”

The next morning, Peng Jing took the jade back.

In the afternoon, Uncle Peng and Aunt Peng, along with Peng Su and Peng Jing, came over. They were carrying three pounds of pork belly and ten salted duck eggs.

Peng Jing inherited his thick eyebrows from his uncle Peng. Uncle Peng had thick eyebrows and looked very serious when he was not smiling.

When he saw Jiang Wanwan, he immediately smiled kindly: "Your aunt and I were busy yesterday, so we didn't come over to thank you in person."

Aunt Peng hadn't seen Jiang Wanwan for a long time. When she suddenly saw her, she was dressed simply and cleanly, and looked much more gentle. Her eyes felt a little hot. The child had suffered a lot.

"You look thinner."

Jiang Wanwan went to the next room to get a few cups and poured water for them to drink: "Uncle and aunt, why did you bring anything? It's too polite."

Uncle Peng hung the meat on the corner of the table and said, "What's so formal about it? It's only natural to visit each other during festivals. It's a pity that your father is gone, otherwise I would have a drink with him."

Aunt Peng looked at Shen Xingjiang and said, "How tall is this young man?"

Shen Xingjiang: “About 1.9 meters.”

Uncle Peng, who is only about 1.7 meters tall, stared with his eyes wide open: "Wow, so tall!"

They heard from Peng Su that Jiang Yatou's boyfriend was from Inner Mongolia: "What do you eat to grow so tall?"

Shen Xingjiang: “…”

"Sorghum cakes, steamed bread, and muddled food."

Uncle Peng smacked his lips and said, "You don't eat as well as my Peng Jing. Fortunately, you didn't eat well when you were a child. If you had eaten well, wouldn't you be two meters tall by now?"

Aunt Peng narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do I think this child looks a bit like the Cheng family?"

"Hey! Like the most promising one in the old Cheng family, his name is Zhang."

Shen Xingjiang: “Cheng Hanzhang.”

Aunt Peng released her hand that was pressing on her temple: "Yes, yes, it's Han Zhang, you two really look alike."

Shen Xingjiang said calmly, "He is my half brother."

Peng Su pulled Jiang Wanwan's arm: "Why didn't you tell me this last night?"

She also felt embarrassed to ask.

Jiang Wanwan came close to her and whispered, "It's not a good idea to gossip about this in front of others."

Peng Su nodded: "That's right."

When Uncle Peng and Aunt Peng heard the words "half mother and same father", they stopped asking questions.

Curious, but also measured.

Aunt Peng thought of another thing: "Peng Jing showed the fake jade to the group this morning. They didn't bother her anymore. But I have another favor to ask of you."

Jiang Wanwan: "Aunt, you are too polite. If you need my help, just tell me."

Aunt Peng looked at Peng Su with guilt in her eyes: "I only have this daughter, the rest are little kids, I love her too, alas..."

"If it weren't for the fact that my kid needed money to marry, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get her married. Look at it, your uncle Peng and I have also considered her."

Aunt Peng took out the real jade from her pocket and said, "I have discussed this with your Uncle Peng. Jade is dead, but my daughter is alive. No matter how much it is worth in the future, it will be worth it if my daughter Peng Su can live a good life!"
