In the fifth year of Youyou's life, her stepmother "transmigrated".
From then on, the little dumpling began to have dreams of predicting the future.
In her dreams, she was a...
Chapter 30
The first time she saw Shanshan, Ruan Wenwen's legs felt weak.
The cheerful smiles on the faces of the villagers around her formed a sharp contrast with her pale complexion.
Then she saw Ruan Jinguo coming over.
Ruan Wenwen couldn't help but recall the whole process of how she lost Jiang Shan that day.
On that day, she deliberately fed Youyou a lot of water, deliberately sent Youyou away from the supply and marketing cooperative, and deliberately let Shanshan run out to find Youyou.
One was a five-year-old child, and the other was a three-year-old child. As long as she wanted, she could naturally control them at her fingertips. Obviously, she really did it.
Shanshan was lost, and Youyou was also driven out by her. This ending should have been extremely beautiful and full of hope...
But who would have thought that after being driven out, Youyou found Meng Jinyu, and now, even Shanshan has been found.
Could it be that Meng Jinyu already knows that this whole thing is related to her?
Ruan Wenwen's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. Her throat was terribly hoarse and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
She wanted to run away, but Ruan Jinguo came over.
"Stop," said Ruan Jinguo.
Ruan Wenwen immediately stood straight in place, her whole body seemed to be frozen in time, and even cold sweat was breaking out on her back.
The air became thinner and she took a deep breath, but couldn't catch her breath until Ruan Jinguo walked up to her step by step.
"Shanshan is back, aren't you happy?" Ruan Jinguo said, "I heard from the villagers that when he got lost, you cried and made a scene at home, as if you were going to follow him immediately. How come now that he's back, you're not as excited as the other villagers?"
In this village, people are divided into three groups when facing the issue of Ruan Wenwen.
Some people think that she is a bad person and is too unscrupulous to do something like stealing someone else's man. We should stay as far away from such people as possible.
A small number of villagers were easily influenced. After Ruan Wenwen had greeted them with a smiling face and expressed from the bottom of her heart how deep her love for Jiang Huanming was, they thought she was stupid. For the sake of a man, she was willing to become a stepmother, and who knew how much she would suffer in the future.
Some villagers took a neutral attitude. They didn't care what kind of person Ruan Wenwen was. Although they lived in the same village, they didn't interfere with each other and it didn't bother them.
But even the most indifferent villagers couldn't help but look at Ruan Wenwen again after hearing what Ruan Jinguo said.
"How could that be? Shanshan is back, of course I'm happy for you." She turned around and walked to Shanshan with difficult steps. "You are so plump and fair, you must not have suffered these days, how great."
Shanshan blinked, looked at her, then looked at Meng Jinyu, and then gently took a step back.
When Youyou saw this, she immediately spread out her short arms and stood in front of Shanshan, puffing up her little cheeks and looking at Ruan Wenwen menacingly.
Ruan Jinguo's eyes turned cold, he grabbed Ruan Wenwen's arm and pushed her away.
But just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Meng Jinyu.
Ruan Wenwen felt a pain and cursed him with a red face. Seeing Meng Jinyu blocking him, she immediately turned around and fled.
Everyone just thought that the conflict between Ruan Jinguo and Ruan Wenwen was because the younger brother felt sorry for his sister, but since Ruan Wenwen had already run away, there was nothing exciting to watch.
They turned and gathered around Shanshan.
"Shanshan, where have you been these days? Your face is so fair and tender, you must be living a comfortable life."
Although Shanshan can speak a lot now, he is still a little shy. However, he can feel everyone's kindness, so the smile on his face never disappears. His big eyes like black grapes blink, making him look particularly lovable.
As her brother's spokesperson, Youyou stood up and recounted the entire process of finding Shanshan from beginning to end.
What she said was so thrilling and exciting that everyone's eyes widened as they listened, as if they were there at the time.
"It's so dangerous to run out alone in the middle of the night!"
"If it happened in our village, and we fell down the mountain in the dark and fell into the reservoir, that would be disastrous!"
"Although there are no mountains or reservoirs in the city, there are cars! If a car hits me... I don't even dare to think about it!"
"This child is so blessed!"
Youyou mingled well with the villagers, nodded seriously, and spoke from time to time like a little leader.
Shanshan, who was beside her, looked at her sister with admiration. The expression on her little face was extremely focused, as if she was looking forward to learning something and taking it back.
Seeing this, Ruan Jinguo pulled Meng Jinyu aside and said in a low voice, "Sister, why are you stopping me? Should we show mercy to such a person?"
"What good will it do to break up with her now?" Meng Jinyu said.
It's just a way of venting one's anger.
"So what? Let her bully Shanshan like this?" Ruan Jinguo asked.
"Even if the villagers poke her in the back, she won't take it to heart. But people always have things they care about." Meng Jinyu said calmly, turned around and looked at Ruan Wenwen's disappearing back.
It is hard to imagine that Ruan Wenwen's behavior in this life has already lost its bottom line.
Meng Jinyu thought for a moment and then said, "Jin Guo, you have to help me run around and do some things next."
…
Ruan Wenwen walked faster and faster, and even forgot about her leg injury.
What did Ruan Jinguo’s expression just now mean?
That look was as if he wanted to kill her...
Is it just because they have a good relationship as siblings and he wants to seek justice for his sister?
After all, the last time she and Ruan Jinguo met at Ruan's house, Jiang Huanming had not yet divorced Meng Jinyu, so his attitude was not so tough.
Now that he saw his sister being completely kicked out of the Jiang family, it was inevitable that he would be angry.
Ruan Wenwen finally convinced herself.
Shanshan is still young and can’t even speak clearly, how could she know that she lost him on purpose!
Besides, with Meng Jinyu's temper, if she really knew the truth, she would definitely not endure it.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
When she returned home, Ruan Wenwen saw from afar a whole basin of clothes piled up in the yard outside the house.
Ever since they proposed to separate the family, Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she slammed the table. The families of the first and second wives also accused them of being selfish. They met each other every day at home, and no one gave them a good look.
Ruan Wenwen didn't care at all.
In her previous life, she knew that Jiang Huanming's poor relatives would always make trouble, pestering him to borrow money to buy houses or do business.
In this life, it would be easier if you cut off contact with them earlier.
However, the only thing that made her unhappy was that she had to do housework after work.
Since they had fallen out, she no longer had to cook for the other two families, so when she came back from the fields, she had to prepare dinner.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Huanming have big appetites, and Jiang Guo is picky. After she finishes her work, there is no one to help her wash the dishes, so she is as tired as an ox every day.
At this time, Ruan Wenwen looked at the basin full of clothes and couldn't help but feel a headache.
She walked into the house: "Guo Guo!"
Jiang Guo was lying on the kang reading a book.
These two days, the eldest brother found his old elementary school textbooks and insisted on letting her read them. If she was unwilling, the eldest brother would get angry and ignore her.
Jiang Guo talks a lot. Now there are only her eldest brother and her sister in the family. If even her eldest brother doesn't talk, she will suffocate to death.
So Jiang Guo had no choice but to read the textbook obediently.
But as she looked at it, she found some fun for herself. She was holding the book with one hand and the pen with the other, drawing on it, her two white legs swinging, looking contented.
"Guoguo!" Ruan Wenwen patiently called out again.
Jiang Guo just heard it, turned around and said enthusiastically: "Mom!"
Ruan Wenwen is most satisfied with this child.
She looks very smart at ordinary times, and she is not smart at critical moments. She calls me "Mom" all the time, which is so affectionate. It makes me feel comfortable to hear her.
"Guoguo, give mom a massage on her shoulders," said Ruan Wenwen.
Jiang Guo is very obedient and comes as soon as he is called.
She didn't have much strength, and having her shoulders massaged wasn't very comfortable, but Ruan Wenwen was willing to let this child serve her.
If for no other reason, just thinking about how Jiang Guo looked like a naughty kid with his neck stiff in front of Meng Jinyu, and then seeing how obedient she was in front of her, Ruan Wenwen felt happy in her heart.
"Guoguo, I asked you to wash the clothes in the basin before I went out. Why didn't you wash them?" Ruan Wenwen asked.
"I don't know how to do that." Jiang Guo said, "It takes a lot of effort just to carry that pile of clothes to the stream!"
Ruan Wenwen frowned slightly. Youyou was only five years old, but she could pull a large basin of clothes to the stream. Jiang Guo was already twelve years old, how could he not be able to do it?
In the final analysis, it’s just the word “lazy”!
However, she knew that Jiang Guo would only respond to soft words, so she didn't lose face, but continued to speak in a gentle voice: "But mom has to work during the day, and after the sun goes down, she has to come back to cook. It's so tiring. In this way, there will be no time to wash clothes. By then, your dad and your eldest brother's clothes will be stinking, which will make people laugh."
"Let them wash themselves." Jiang Guo didn't even think about it.
Ruan Wenwen sighed: "How can a man wash clothes?"
"Why can't men wash clothes?" Jiang Guo looked innocent. Seeing Ruan Wenwen was unhappy, he said, "Okay, can't mom wash clothes after she finishes cooking?"
Ruan Wenwen choked: "This - I'll wash it after cooking. It's already dark. What if mom falls into the stream?"
Jiang Guo smiled with her eyes curved: "Mom! You are so big now, you won't fall in."
Ruan Wenwen understood.
No matter how much we persuaded her, the girl was unwilling to wash the clothes.
Washing clothes, cooking, washing dishes... She doesn't know how to do anything. A country girl is spoiled like a city girl!
Ruan Wenwen felt a suffocating feeling in her chest, but seeing Jiang Guo's smiling face, she couldn't get angry, so she pointed at her right shoulder and said unhappily, "It's sore here too, pinch it again."
But Jiang Guo refused to do it, stretched, and lay down on the kang again: "Mom, I'm done, it's your turn!"
Ruan Wenwen:? ? ?
"I was tired after working in the fields all day, so I asked you to give me a massage. Why did you ask me to do it instead?" Her voice rose unconsciously, "You kid—"
However, Jiang Guo didn't hear anything wrong. She just turned around and said innocently, "Mom, didn't you say that we are best friends? Just like sisters. Every time Xiaoyun and I fetch water, we take turns."
"Who is Xiaoyun?" Ruan Wenwen asked in an unfriendly tone.
"He's my only good friend in school." Jiang Guo blinked and said sincerely.
For a moment, Ruan Wenwen couldn't utter a word.
Isn't the purpose of working so hard to win the child's heart to make him treat you as a friend?
Until now, Ruan Wenwen still remembers the hurt expression on Meng Jinyu's face when Jiang Guo hugged her and refused to let her leave a few days ago.
By keeping Jiang Guo, she can pierce Meng Jinyu's heart again and again, and she will succeed soon.
Thinking of this, Ruan Wenwen gritted her teeth and swallowed all her frustration.
"Okay, mom will massage it for you." said Ruan Wenwen.
"Pinch your shoulders."
"Please give me a pinch on the waist, Mom——"
"And my calves! My calves are so sore!"
Ruan Wenwen had just finished work and her back and waist were sore. She just wanted to lie down on the kang, but the two children and Jiang Huanming needed to eat, so she had to cook after a short rest.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Guo didn't let her rest at all.
“It’s so comfortable!”
“Mom is so nice!”
Whenever Ruan Wenwen wanted to stop, Jiang Guo would let out a satisfied sigh, so she had to continue pinching.
As long as she treats Jiang Guo a little better, this child will definitely be open-hearted to her.
Such a simple-minded person was finally sold out by her and had to count the money for her!
Thinking of this, Ruan Wenwen's tone became gentler.
"Does it still hurt?"
"You kid, you don't do farm work, you don't do housework, and you always complain about being tired, just like a spoiled girl in the city."
"I am the only one who can stand you."
Jiang Guo swung her feet and listened with a smile.
"But Guoguo, you still have to be sensible." Ruan Wenwen said, "Mom treats you well, so you have to treat her well, too, understand?"
"Of course!" Jiang Guo turned around, sat cross-legged on the kang, and said while patting his chest.
Ruan Wenwen nodded with relief: "Then mom is going to cook, Guoguo, help to light the fire, wait for your brother to come back, we will cook together--"
A loud voice came from outside: "Guo Guo!"
Jiang Guo recognized her brother's voice and immediately got off the bed and put on her shoes: "I'm coming."
Jiang Cheng shouted again: "Brother is back!"
Jiang Guo was stunned. Before she could come to her senses, her mind had already drifted away.
At this time, she had put on one shoe, and before she could even put the other foot into the shoe, she ran out.
Ruan Wenwen bent over and massaged Jiang Guo's sore waist for such a long time that she could no longer bear the pain. She finally managed to stand firm when she was accidentally bumped by Jiang Guo who was running out as if he had a cramp.
The teenager was full of brute force, and Ruan Wenwen was really unable to withstand the collision.
She fell heavily to the ground, gasping in pain and gritting her teeth to hold back the curse that was about to escape her lips.
However, no matter how she maintained her persona and pretended to be great and gentle, it was useless.
Jiang Guo had already flown away with a whoosh like a dancing butterfly.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Ruan Wenwen stood up, holding her sore butt, and went to the kitchen to cook obediently.
…
In the kitchen, Ruan Wenwen was busy working.
Outside the house, Shanshan was surrounded by everyone. The Jiang family members were talking to each other, and the atmosphere was cheerful and harmonious.
No one expected that the child who had been missing for more than ten days would come back. Even Old Mrs. Jiang held the child's hand tightly, nodded repeatedly, and was very emotional.
In the past, in the old lady's heart, the most powerful person was her promising youngest son, but recently her youngest son was making a fuss about dividing the family property, which hurt her heart.
She felt upset and had been in low spirits for several days, but unexpectedly, she received good news today.
Shanshan is back!
Once people get older, they will only shed tears when they are happy. At this moment, tears were flashing in the old lady's eyes and her face was full of relief.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Dali couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She understood the old lady's feelings.
When she married into the Jiang family, the old lady made it clear that she was in poor health, and that as a widow she had raised three sons, she had already taken care of enough children and would definitely not take care of grandchildren in the future.
The old lady did this for many years until Shanshan was born.
For the old lady, Shanshan is an exception because he is very well behaved. When he couldn’t speak before, he was pitiful, but also a relief.
Taking care of him doesn't require much effort, so Old Mrs. Jiang would occasionally lend a hand when Meng Jinyu was at work.
Gradually, the old man's affection for his little grandson grew deeper and deeper, but unexpectedly, the child suddenly got lost.
Several times, Zhu Dali saw the old lady unable to sleep at night and sitting in the main room waiting.
What we are waiting for is Shanshan to return home soon...
Now, she finally got what she had been waiting for.
"Shanshan, have you suffered these days?" Old Mrs. Jiang asked, holding Shanshan's little hand.
A pair of small dimples appeared at the corners of Shanshan's mouth and she shook her head gently.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes moistened: "Okay, that's good! How did they find you?"
This is too complicated, Shanshan definitely can’t explain it clearly.
Fortunately, when Jiang Cheng came back just now, he happened to hear the villagers explain the whole cause and effect of the incident clearly.
So he told his grandmother the story in detail.
Old Mrs. Jiang widened her eyes when she heard this.
The fact that she was able to find all this was due to Shanshan's luck, and also because Meng Jinyu was persistent enough.
She nodded with emotion: "My biological mother is my biological mother. I never thought that Jin Yu did so many things behind my back."
Just at this moment, Ruan Wenwen came out of the kitchen carrying the freshly made corn cakes.
She glanced at the old lady indifferently, but had already gritted her teeth secretly.
This old woman is now actually thinking about the good things about her ex-daughter-in-law?
…
There have to be rules at home. Although Jiang Guo has always been a disobedient child, she still dares not act rashly in front of her serious grandmother.
Only when the old lady was finally willing to let go of Jiang Shan's hand did Jiang Guo have the chance to squeeze forward.
"Shanshan!" Jiang Guo rubbed Shanshan's cheeks, which looked like little buns, with her hands.
"Sister." The child's voice was soft.
Now that their younger brother is back, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Guo and Youyou are as happy as him.
Before dinner started, Jiang Cheng took his younger brothers and sisters to play on the edge of the field.
"Shanshan, sister hasn't hugged you for a long time!" As soon as Jiang Guo opened her mouth, she reached out to hug Shanshan.
She didn't have much strength, and when she picked up Shanshan, she suddenly found that she couldn't hold on any longer. It was not until she was exhausted and out of breath that she finally let her brother's feet leave the ground.
Why has my brother become so heavy?
Jiang Guo was swaying and looking about to fall, while her brother, who was in her arms and legs, was tense all over, flapping his hands and feet.
"Don't move! You're going to fall!" Jiang Guo gasped and reminded quickly.
"Jiang Guo, be careful!" Jiang Cheng hurried forward to protect her.
Youyou was watching from the side, and seeing that her brother was getting anxious, she hurried forward to lend a hand.
My brothers and sisters were supporting each other, staggering all over the place. We couldn't keep our balance for a while, and suddenly we all fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" Jiang Guo covered his butt.
Shanshan was startled and covered her little butt, dazed.
"Are you hurt?" When Jiang Cheng reacted, he was the first to reach out to hold Youyou's hand from left to right, trying to pull her up.
But the ridges of the fields were soft and even the wind seemed moist. Youyou sat on the ground and didn't want to get up.
"It's so comfortable." Youyou spread her arms and leaned back, the little person lying in a "spread-over" position.
Seeing this, Shanshan curiously followed her example, opened her arms a little, and slowly lay down.
"There are small insects on the ridges of the fields. They can bite people. Get up quickly," Jiang Cheng reminded.
But just as he finished speaking, Jiang Guo pulled his wrist.
With a "thump", he also fell down.
When Youyou and Shanshan saw their brother like this, they blinked blankly.
"Puchi," Jiang Guo chuckled.
Seeing this, the two little kids also burst into laughter.
"Let's tickle our brother, okay?" Jiang Guo lowered his voice and said to Jiang Shan and Youyou.
The two little ones immediately became excited, stretched out their little hands, and started tickling Jiang Cheng.
"No! I'm ticklish!" Jiang Cheng tried to avoid them left and right, but couldn't. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
In the end, the eldest brother couldn't persuade his younger brothers and sisters, so he had to roll around with them on the ridge of the field and let them do whatever they wanted.
The clear laughter echoed and didn't fade away.
Seeing this, the villagers passing by couldn't help laughing and felt happy for the four children of the Jiang family.
No matter what happens at home, the relationship between brothers and sisters remains as good.
This is the most rare thing.
…
Jiang Huanming and Meng Jinyu have been divorced for so long that the villagers have already said almost all the gossip they want.
So, Jiang Huanming began to prepare for his wedding with Ruan Wenwen.
Just a few days ago, the two of them went to the commune together to get their marriage certificate.
Now they are a couple, but Ruan Wenwen said that her adoptive parents felt sorry for her being a stepmother and said it would be too unfair to her if they didn't even have a wedding banquet.
"Huanming, I am willing to marry you because I love you. But you have to cherish me. My adoptive parents said that a grand and respectable wedding is the only way to show that you are cherished," said Ruan Wenwen.
Jiang Huanming agreed immediately: "Don't worry, I promised your adoptive parents that I will never let you suffer any injustice."
"That's what you said." Ruan Wenwen said angrily, "They will come on the day of the wedding. Although I'm not their biological daughter, they are very kind to me. You are not allowed to bully me, otherwise they will not forgive you!"
Jiang Huanming just couldn't bear to bully Ruan Wenwen.
These days, after he and Ruan Wenwen got married, the two of them lived together and their relationship was getting better and better.
At the same time, when the leaders in the unit saw him, they always smiled, and their eyes were full of approval and appreciation.
Jiang Huanming probably had Ruan Wenwen's adoptive parents to make a call, so his promotion to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative was a foregone conclusion.
Divorced a daughter-in-law who had no feelings.
The lost son is found.
The second daughter-in-law, who was knowledgeable and interesting, came and brought him a good job opportunity...
Thinking of this, Jiang Huanming felt that God was extremely kind to him.
"It's about the house..." Jiang Huanming said with difficulty, "I know you don't want to live with them, but there's really nothing I can do."
"Who said there's no way?" Ruan Wenwen pursed her lips and smiled, "On the day of our wedding banquet, Jiang Zhiqing and Lin Zhiqing will both come. After the wedding banquet, they will go to the commune to get a divorce certificate. Do you believe it?"
Jiang Huanming naturally didn't believe it.
However, when he saw Ruan Wenwen's confident expression, he hesitated again.
Could it be that Lin Li and Jiang Zhihong are really going to divorce?
In this case, he would not be the only divorced man in Fenglin Village!
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
There were five tables for the banquet, which was set up in the open space in front of the village committee.
The villagers who came to the banquet all gave their share of money, but they didn't have to give too much, just a token of appreciation would be enough. After all, Jiang Huanming was an employee of a state-owned unit and was very wealthy.
Seeing that Jiang Huanming had spent a huge amount of money on this marriage, everyone couldn't help but talk about it in whispers.
"When I got married to Jin Yu, it wasn't this lively."
"The Jiang family was poor in the beginning, but now they are rich. They only see the new couple laughing, but never the old couple crying. It's a second marriage, which is not a glorious thing, but they are still making it so glorious. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"
"Who made the bride's adoptive parents the leaders of a state-owned factory in the city? I heard that their dowry is very generous..."
"It's true, such shameless people always have a good life."
There were a lot of gossips from the villagers behind her back, but Ruan Wenwen didn't take it to heart.
Let her say whatever she wants, anyway, it won't be long before she and Jiang Huanming move to the town and move up step by step. The future will only be better than the present, and she doesn't care about these villagers who are standing still.
No matter what time it is, those who are rich and powerful always have absolute say. When she and Jiang Huanming ate braised pork for every meal, her children drank malted milk continuously, and their family became the first ten thousand yuan household in the village, who would not be polite to her?
"Eat candy--eat candy--"
On this happy day, Jiang Guo, who loves fun, was naturally handing out candies outside.
She held a basket in her hands, with all kinds of candies on it. If she saw a naughty child, she would only give one candy, but if she saw a child she liked, she would give a handful of candies.
From a distance, she saw Youyou: "Youyou! Come and have some candy!"
But Youyou ignored her and walked away with a swagger.
Jiang Guo was shocked, then he saw the little tail behind Youyou's butt and shouted, "Shanshan, have some candy!"
But Shanshan ignored her and followed closely behind Youyou with her short legs.
Jiang Guo suddenly lost interest, put the basket on the ground, and hung his head listlessly.
At this time, Ruan Wenwen came out of the house and said to Jiang Guo: "Guoguo, accompany your mother to a place."
Today, Ruan Wenwen put on makeup and wore a red dress that she had specially asked someone to buy from Shanghai. She had her long hair tied up and wore a big red flower on her head.
When she walked in the village, she always had a smile on her face. She looked gentle and charming, with a happy glow in her eyes.
Anyone who sees her can't help but take a second look at her.
Ruan Wenwen took Jiang Guo to Meng Jinyu's house.
At noon, the team leader asked the team members to go home for lunch.
She said to Meng Jinyu, "Sister, we are having a wedding banquet today, come over and eat with us."
On her wedding day, Ruan Wenwen wanted to show off in front of Meng Jinyu to make her feel upset. After all, Meng Jinyu had often embarrassed her these days and made her lose her appetite. Now she had the chance to show off.
Ruan Wenwen expected that she would be sad, but unexpectedly, she was so generous and agreed immediately without saying a word.
Meng Jinyu held Shanshan with one hand and Youyou with the other, "Let's go eat something delicious today."
"Okay." The brother and sister said in unison and followed their mother obediently.
The smile on Ruan Wenwen's lips froze, and she turned around and wanted Jiang Guo to hold her arm.
However, Jiang Guo is now worried and anxious.
She was always afraid that her younger brothers and sisters would not want to pay attention to her, so she would get closer to the two little kids and try to find topics to talk about.
In the end, Ruan Wenwen followed behind them, not like the protagonist of today, but more like an outsider.
I felt aggrieved again.
…
The banquet is about to begin.
Ruan Wenwen had a smile on her face. From a distance, she saw Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping arriving.
"What about the Jin Kingdom?" Ruan Wenwen asked softly.
"I don't know what he's busy with. I can't see him this morning." Chen Liping said, "Maybe he won't come."
Ruan Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better if she didn't come. Ruan Jinguo is not easy to get along with and doesn't know how to tell the difference between words. If she is embarrassed by that, she will be so angry that she will die.
"Uncle, aunt, please sit down first." Ruan Wenwen said.
Chen Liping held her hand and said, "Don't call them uncle or auntie today. Call them mom and dad, just like before."
Ruan Wenwen nodded with red eyes and turned to look at Jiang Huanming.
This time, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Old Mrs. Jiang was the last one to come over, supported by her two daughters-in-law. After all, it was her son's wedding, and she couldn't not be there.
Seeing Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping, she smiled and nodded, and politely invited them to take a seat.
At this time, Zhu Dali realized that Meng Jinyu had also come, and she hurriedly pushed Wang Xiaofen with her elbow.
Wang Xiaofen said: "Jin Yu must be feeling very uncomfortable!"
Zhu Dali shook her head: "I think she is very open-minded and doesn't take it to heart at all."
Old Mrs. Jiang also heard what her two daughters-in-law said.
She raised her eyelids, looked at Meng Jinyu in the distance, then turned to Zhu Dali and said, "Who called her here?"
"Of course it's Wenwen. You know Jin Yu's personality. She won't insist on coming here on her own." Zhu Dali said.
Old Mrs. Jiang's face was gloomy.
This time she really married a troublemaker, but what could she do? She couldn't stop him.
The dishes were served one after another.
It was a rare occasion for the villagers to eat such delicious food, and since they had given their share of the food, no one was polite when they stretched out their chopsticks.
There was a wedding in the village, so it was easier for the team members to ask for leave from the team leader. The men drank to their heart's content, thinking that they would go home and have a good sleep after coming out.
Those in the village who were unhappy with the situation between Jiang Huanming and Ruan Wenwen basically did not come, and those who came naturally said nice things.
Ruan Wenwen was flattered to the point of being completely elated. Holding a small wine glass in her hand, she toasted at one table after another.
People are in high spirits when they are happy. Jiang Huanming put his arms around his new bride's waist, his chest held high, and he looked very satisfied.
Until the wine was offered to Meng Jinyu's table.
Jiang Huanming drank a lot, and when he saw Meng Jinyu, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
At this time, Ruan Wenwen pushed the wine glass in his hand in a nagging manner: "Drink less, I still have something to say." She looked at Jiang Huanming and said softly, "Should we thank my sister?"
Ruan Wenwen still remembers how much injustice she suffered in her previous life.
At that time, Meng Jinyu firmly occupied the position of Mrs. Jiang, so she couldn't find any chance at all.
But now, the situation has changed, and she is the future wife of the supermarket tycoon!
"What are you thanking me for?" Jiang Huanming burped.
"Jiang Cheng and Guo Guo are both good children. The atmosphere in our home is always so warm because of them." Ruan Wenwen said with a smile: "Thank you sister for educating the two children so well and for being so filial to me."
Meng Jinyu raised her eyes and glanced towards the village entrance.
"Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo are already grown up. In fact, just by looking at their attitude towards me, you can tell that I am not a bad stepmother." Ruan Wenwen laughed at herself and said, "A lot of things did happen these days, but in fact, I did nothing wrong. It was all a misunderstanding."
Ruan Wenwen raised the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You also know that they have no feelings for each other for a long time. Even if they don't divorce, they will torture each other."
Her tears fell slowly, and she looked like a poor person who had suffered a lot of injustice.
Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping looked at this scene, feeling extremely sad, and walked forward.
Ruan Wenwen wiped her tears again, "Being able to invite my sister to this banquet today means that I have a clear conscience towards her and our four children!"
As she finished speaking, there was sparse applause.
Jiang Huanming was moved. He looked at Ruan Wenwen affectionately and hugged her shoulders tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Wenwen walked up to Meng Jinyu in front of everyone.
In her impression, although her twin sister was uneducated, she was always decent in her behavior and would never embarrass anyone in public.
Whether in the previous life or this life, from beginning to end, she never seemed to have made things difficult for herself.
If she could get Meng Jinyu's forgiveness in front of everyone, her life would be better in the future.
Anyway, life has to go on, and before moving out of this town, Ruan Wenwen doesn't want to hear sarcastic gossip everywhere.
Anyway, it's just a matter of toasting a glass of wine, and the initiative is in her hands.
So, she raised her glass and said to Meng Jinyu, "Sister, I'll toast you a glass, and our grudges will be written off, okay?"
Everyone's eyes were on Ruan Wenwen and Meng Jinyu.
Meng Jinyu stood up.
Ruan Wenwen smiled, raised the wine glass high, handed it to Meng Jinyu, and clinked it with her glass: "Then I'll drink it."
She raised her chin gracefully, drank the wine in the glass, and then looked at Meng Jinyu: "I'll pour you some wine."
Then, she smiled sincerely and cautiously, picked up the wine with both hands, and poured it into the glass in front of Meng Jinyu.
Unexpectedly, Meng Jinyu snatched the bottle and poured it directly into her empty porcelain bowl: "Such a small cup, how can it be enough?"
Ruan Wenwen was slightly stunned. How come she was the host?
With the sound of "gulp gulp", the empty porcelain bowl was filled with wine.
Meng Jinyu picked up the bowl and looked at Ruan Wenwen.
"As long as I can calm down, you can drink as much as you want," Ruan Wenwen said with a smile.
The villagers nearby all laughed, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
However, at this moment, Meng Jinyu suddenly poured the wine in the bowl onto Ruan Wenwen's face.
"Ah!" The pungent alcohol flowed down Ruan Wenwen's hair. She was completely stunned and then screamed.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo's jaws nearly dropped as they watched. The brother and sister held each other's arms tightly and leaned on each other.
"Men have feet. If they want to go, they can go. I won't stop them. But, as for my children..." Meng Jinyu threw the coarse porcelain bowl back on the table and walked in front of Ruan Wenwen, "You have to have a clear conscience!"
She raised her hand, and with a "slap", a slap landed hard on Ruan Wenwen's left cheek.
"You almost sold my daughter for just five dollars. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you do this?"
With a loud "boom", Ruan Wenwen's brain seemed to suddenly explode.
She screamed and covered her left cheek.
Jiang Huanming was so frightened that he almost sobered up. He stepped forward to protect her, but unexpectedly, Meng Jinyu slapped him again.
There was a loud "slap" sound, and this time, she hit Ruan Wenwen's right cheek.
"Shanshan is only three years old. After she got lost, she was probably kidnapped by a kidnapper and could never be found again. How could you be so vicious to do that to a three-year-old child?"
The whole audience was in an uproar. The villagers who were still holding their chopsticks no longer had any appetite. They stood up and looked in the direction of Ruan Wenwen and Meng Jinyu.
Chen Liping had never expected something like this to happen, so she quickly stepped forward and asked, "How dare you slander me?"
Ruan Zhenli also said: "If you dare to do anything, I will report it to the police!"
Ruan Wenwen's head was filled with bursts of buzzing sounds.
By the time she reacted, her heart was pounding and her hands were shaking.
"I didn't! Don't wrongly accuse a good person!" Subconsciously, Ruan Wenwen wanted to quibble, "What evidence do you have?"
Chen Liping also shouted: "Yes, what evidence do you have?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Ruan Jinguo's voice suddenly came from the entrance of the village.
"Sister! I caught up!" Ruan Jinguo ran over quickly, but stopped halfway and said to the people behind him, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting for us."
Ruan Wenwen was startled and suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of Ruan Jinguo.
Behind Ruan Jinguo, there was Zhai Jinbao from Zhaijia Village who was running out of breath, and two female comrades riding bicycles.
She stood on tiptoe to see more clearly, and suddenly discovered that the two female comrades were the two salespersons of the supply and marketing cooperative who had lost Jiang Shan that day.
Ruan Wenwen felt dizzy.
But who would have thought that at this time, Ruan Zhenli actually saw an acquaintance.
He took a few steps forward: "Lao Zhuang, why are you here?"
Secretary Zhuang of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was also confused and said, "I don't know. Is this your son? Your son came here early in the morning and said he wanted to report Comrade Jiang Huanming from our unit to me." He was puzzled and said, "I was also puzzled, so I followed him to take a look."
When a group of people, led by Ruan Jinguo, stood in front of her, Ruan Wenwen no longer felt dizzy.
Her head and temples hurt, as if they were being whipped, and the pain came in waves.
Meng Jinyu stepped forward and said, "Don't you want evidence? Now, I have brought all the evidence."
At the same time, Youyou and Shanshan stood up.
The two little dumplings want to tell everyone everything they know and have experienced.
