Chapter 85 Jiang Lian took the bait

"Don't look for me. I get annoyed when I see you."

Jiang Lian was too lazy to pretend with her. Not only was she too lazy to pretend, she was also afraid... afraid that she would be deceived by Jiang Wanwan's innocent feelings again.

Jiang Wanwan came up to her with a smile, climbed onto the kang, pulled Jiang Lian's arm and whispered in her ear: "Sister, you are arguing with me. You must help me with this matter. If you don't help me, no one can help me."

When Jiang Wanwan grabbed her clothes, Jiang Lian's heart jumped and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Jiang Lian didn't want to care about her and was about to refuse when she heard what Jiang Wanwan said.

"I found a jade hat top at Erzhuzi's house, but it looked a little different from what I wrote in my notebook. I can't tell. You are educated and capable, so please help me take a look."

Jiang Lian: “?”

The refusal stuck in my throat.

The notebook in Jiang Wanwan's hand was fake, and the records on it were inaccurate. Since that thing was the opposite of the wrong notebook, it was very likely to be a real one!

It seems that her luck is still better than Jiang Wanwan's. With Jiang Wanwan's fate, she can survive even in the worst situation.

Jiang Lian coughed hard and pretended to be indifferent: "Really?"

Jiang Wanwan: "Of course it's true."

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look, but I'm not forgiving you for hitting me. I'm going with you... because I care about the cultural relics. Don't think too much about it."

Jiang Lian found a plausible excuse.

Jiang Wanwan complimented her: "Sister, you are really well-mannered and different from ordinary people. You really have a vision."

They were whispering nearby, but Song Xiangwu didn't hear clearly. Jiang Wanwan didn't greet her after entering the room and ignored her, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She married two men and was spoiled by them. She was very sensitive about her reputation. Jiang Wanwan ignored her and she ignored Jiang Wanwan too, so she didn't go over to ask them what they were talking about.

Jiang Lian was anxious to find the goods and couldn't wait any longer: "The sun is shining, let's go take a look today."

"Okay." Jiang Wanwan was really looking forward to it.

Jiang Lian put on her clothes and went out with her, and the two sisters reached a brief peace again.

Last time it was Jiang Lian who wanted to trick Jiang Wanwan, this time it was Jiang Wanwan who wanted to trick Jiang Lian.

Coincidentally, after leaving the youth cadre site, they met Lin Youshuang again.

Speaking of Lin Youshuang, her father was investigated and imprisoned. In order to avoid being implicated, she hurriedly married into the poorest but relatively clean family in the production team a few days ago. Her husband's surname is Hu, and the head of the family is Aunt Juhua. Aunt Juhua gave birth to five sons, and Lin Youshuang's husband was the fifth. In addition to the husband, there are four sisters-in-law.

Of course, the Shen family used to be the poorest in the production team, but recently the old Shen family took out two pieces of land to build a house. The men of the Shen family go to the foundation every day to make mud bricks. Now the old Shen family is no longer the poorest.

After Lin Youshuang married into the family, her sisters-in-law despised her for her poor background and ordered her to do the heaviest and dirtiest work at home, such as cooking breakfast and dinner, lighting the kangs and stoves in all the rooms of the house, emptying the chamber pots, sweeping snow, and chopping wood...

Every day she sleeps later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken. She eats like a mouse, with only one meal available and no other. If she wants to eat an extra bite, she has to steal.

The worst thing was that all her good clothes were taken away by her mother-in-law. The good clothes were patched up for the men in the family, altered to make small clothes for the children, and the inferior ones were given to her sisters-in-law.

The clothes she was wearing now were worn out and no longer wanted by the men in her family. They were smelly and dirty, but they could not be washed. If she washed them, she would have no spare clothes. She came down from the mountain with firewood on her back, which made her back and arms ache. Her clothes were too thin and she felt a pain in her lower abdomen from the cold.

Lin Youshuang was carrying firewood on his back as he passed by the educated youth camp on his way home. He looked up and saw Jiang Lian and Jiang Wanwan walking together... talking and laughing...

Didn’t Jiang Wanwan beat Jiang Lian a few days ago?

Jiang Lian was beaten and taken to the pigsty where the sow's butt was stabbed. I heard that she even ate pig shit. So how did these two get involved again?

Even though the relationship is so tense, they can still get along happily. Who is being shameless?

Who is it!

Lin Youshuang spat at them twice: "You two are so cheap!"

Jiang Wanwan said sarcastically, "How can you be as cheap as you are?"

Jiang Lian was hoping that they would quarrel and cheered them on in her heart. Let them quarrel, and even better, fight. Lin Youshuang scratched Jiang Wanwan's face, and Jiang Wanwan pulled out Lin Youshuang's hair.

Jiang Wanwan snorted, "You have been bullying me on behalf of my sister since you were sent down to the countryside. Didn't you become a dog just to go back to the city? Why didn't you go back? And you were beaten like a stray dog."

Jiang Wanwan took the initiative to hug Jiang Lian's arm: "Are you dumbfounded? We are sisters. You have done so many bad things for my sister, and now she is not going to be nice to me!"

She used a cute and boastful tone to hit Lin Youshuang hard.

Jiang Lian's secret joy was shattered, and she squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "Wan Wan, if you can't speak, you don't have to say anything."

"No, sister, you are so good to me, you never fight back when I hit you, and you calm down with just a few words when I make you angry. I just want everyone to know that you, Jiang Lian, are the best to me!"

As Jiang Wanwan spoke, she gave Lin Youshuang a mocking expression.

Jiang Lian: “…”

Her silence was deafening.

If she hadn't pointed out that Jiang Wanwan was taking her to Erzhuzi's house to look at the goods, she would have torn Jiang Wanwan's mouth.

Lin Youshuang looked at Jiang Lian with disdain: "So you are the one who is being servile."

You deserve it!

Lin Youshuang was so angry that her liver ached. She dragged the firewood basket upwards with her chilblained hands and walked slowly and clumsily towards home.

Now... she has no right to say anything to anyone. Her soul and future will rot in the Hu family. There are four sisters-in-law in the family waiting for her to deal with. She does not have the extra energy to meddle in their sisters' affairs.

But if she had to talk about hatred, the only person she could hate was Jiang Lian.

In her eyes, Jiang Wanwan was a victim from beginning to end, and she couldn't say anything.

Jiang Wanwan looked at Lin Youshuang's thin and haggard back and couldn't help thinking that in a few years when the policy was liberalized, all the educated youth would return to the city, and she wondered if she could escape from this place.

"Wanwan, let's go."

Jiang Lian was worried about the goods and urged.

Jiang Wanwan came back to her senses: "Okay."

She let go of Jiang Lian calmly, for she was afraid she would vomit if she held him any longer.

Erzhuzi and Grandma Bao were both at home. When they saw Jiang Wanwan bringing Jiang Lian over, they welcomed her warmly: "Erzhuzi, hurry up and pour some water for Jiang Zhiqing and your fourth sister-in-law."

That’s how it is in a farm house, nothing delicious but plenty of hot water.

Jiang Lian was in no mood to drink water. She looked around and said, "Where is that jade hat? Take it out and show it to me."

Erzhuzi put down the thermos, took out the jade hat top and placed it next to Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian couldn't wait to open the wooden box. When she saw what was inside, she took out the jade hat top with amazement and greed.

It is really carved from jade... Look at the workmanship, it is so exquisite...

Jiang Lian was not as good as Jiang Wanwan, who was influenced by Jiang Beiwang since childhood and could tell the dynasty at a glance. She could not tell the dynasty, but she had seen similar jade hat tops before. This thing was a symbol of power in ancient times and was very valuable.

She wasn't sure of the exact dynasty, but she was sure that it was a good thing.

Jiang Lian saw Jiang Wanwan looking at the top of the jade hat from the corner of her eye. She put away her amazement and put the thing back into the box. She said regretfully, "Wanwan... this is a fake."
