Chapter 82

Guan Jingyuan stared at the little girl in front of him in a daze.

The little girl's face was as white as a snowball, pink and tender, and her eyes flickered as she looked at herself quietly.

Soon after, another tall girl came out and shouted to Jiang Cheng, "Brother."

Guan Jingyuan's face turned red in an instant.

She never dreamed that the two people who came to the store at first were Jiang Cheng's sisters.

Guan Jingyuan's heartbeat quickened, almost jumping out of her throat. She looked at Jiang Guo and Youyou, pulling the corners of her mouth hard, and finally revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Hello, my name is Guan Jingyuan." She said stutteringly.

But Jiang Guo and Youyou ignored her and walked straight to Jiang Cheng.

"Brother, I--" Jiang Guo was about to open his mouth to complain, but as soon as the words came to his lips, the corner of his clothes was tugged by Youyou.

She looked down at Youyou strangely, and after meeting her sister's gaze, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng again.

My brother looks very different today.

His face looked unhappy, his mouth corners were tense, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he walked into the room with his eyes lowered, looking absent-minded.

"Sister, is brother unhappy?" Youyou pulled Jiang Guo aside, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to her ear and asked softly.

Jiang Guo shook his head: "I don't know either."

Youyou hesitated, her little face full of worry: "Is it because we are too rude to our future sister-in-law?"

Jiang Guo poked her sister's forehead with her finger: "Silly Youyou, she is like this, and you still treat her as your future sister-in-law? She doesn't respect us, so should we still care about her feelings?"

Youyou fell into silence.

She didn't care about Guan Jingyuan's feelings, but she cared about her brother's feelings.

Jiang Guo said: "I don't care anyway. I must speak out this matter in front of everyone. If she doesn't let me live well, I won't let her live well either!"

As Jiang Guo was talking, he remembered how he had tried to please someone but was ignored in the afternoon, and he started to get angry again.

At this moment, Guan Jingyuan was also recalling what he said and did to Jiang Guo and Youyou.

She felt regretful in her heart. After all, they were Jiang Cheng's most beloved sisters. If they were unhappy, Jiang Cheng would not be happy either. But then again, there are many men out there who forget their mothers after getting married. Jiang Guo and Youyou are just younger sisters. Do they have the right to interfere in their brother's marriage?

Guan Jingyuan could feel that Jiang Cheng really liked her. He even agreed to send his monthly allowance back to her for safekeeping.

Could it be possible that his love for her would be shaken by his two younger sisters?

Thinking of this, Guan Jingyuan felt much more relieved.

She took Jiang Cheng's hand and said with a smile, "I'll go to the kitchen and help your mother cook."

As soon as Guan Jingyuan finished speaking, he quickly walked to the kitchen.

Looking at her figure, Youyou frowned.

Her brother was obviously in a bad mood, but she didn't seem to notice.

In the kitchen, Guan Jingyuan rolled up her sleeves and said softly, "Auntie, let me help you."

Meng Jinyu was thinking about something. When she saw Guan Jingyuan coming, she was slightly startled and said, "When did you come? I was cooking and didn't notice it for a while."

"It's okay." Guan Jingyuan smiled casually. Seeing Meng Jinyu looking at the clothes on her body, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, because today is an important day, so I wore clothes from the store. I'll consider this dress as something I bought, okay?"

Meng Jinyu had told Guan Jingyuan before that they could wear whatever clothes they wanted in the store, but they had to change them off when they left the store.

At this time, hearing her say this, Meng Jinyu did not comment and did not continue to ask this question.

Guan Jingyuan rolled his eyes in his heart.

You are so stingy. How can you have the nerve to accept money from your future daughter-in-law for buying clothes?

However, although she thought so in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She looked well-behaved and helped Meng Jinyu.

"No need, you are a guest, just chat with Jiang Cheng and his brothers and sisters outside." Meng Jinyu said.

Guan Jingyuan immediately withdrew his hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "I really don't know how to do it."

Meng Jinyu used a spatula to stir the food in the pot and said casually, "Didn't you say you worked in Jinxiang Restaurant? You can't do these kitchen tasks?"

Guan Jingyuan's mouth froze, and he tried to speak naturally: "When I worked at Jinxiang Restaurant before, I only washed dishes or cleaned the restaurant, and I never helped in the kitchen."

Meng Jinyu put down the spatula in her hand, raised her head and looked at Guan Jingyuan: "But I went to Jinxiang Restaurant today to ask, and they said that no female comrade named Guan Jingyuan has ever worked in the restaurant."

Meng Jinyu looked at Guan Jingyuan calmly.

She saw the little girl's eyes flash and a moment of panic flashed across her eyes.

Then, Guan Jingyuan said, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. It's not Jinxiang Restaurant, but Jinxiu Restaurant? I didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant at that time and made a fool of myself. Auntie, since there is nothing I can help with here, I will leave first."

Looking at her fleeing figure, Meng Jinyu's hand holding the spatula tightened slightly.

She didn't object to her son's relationship with Guan Jingyuan. After all, the girl was pretty and had a likable personality, and it was normal for the two young people to hit it off right away.

But when it comes to marriage, that’s another matter.

In the past, matchmakers in the village would introduce young people to potential partners. Even if they only met a few times before getting married, they would still have inquired about each other's situation and knew each other inside out.

Therefore, when Meng Jinyu went to see the store, she specifically went to Jinxiang Restaurant on Fanglin Road to ask.

But people said they had never heard of Guan Jingyuan's name. Afterwards, she was worried that she had remembered the restaurant's name incorrectly, so she walked along Fanglin Road to the end of the street.

There is only one Jinxiang Restaurant on the entire Fanglin Road, and she clearly remembers that when Guan Jingyuan came to apply for the job, he mentioned that he used to work on Fanglin Road.

There was no sound of Youyou and her brothers and sisters playing outside the kitchen. Occasionally, a few words of conversation could be heard between Guan Jingyuan and Shanshan, but they probably had nothing much to talk about, so they soon became quiet again.

Meng Jinyu picked up the spatula again and fell into deep thought.

At least until now, she has not figured out what kind of person Guan Jingyuan is, so she naturally would not agree to this marriage.

At least she should wait until she has a thorough understanding of the girl's temperament and character before considering it.

But, what method should be used to express it tactfully?

Meng Jinyu still remembered that in her previous life, she forcibly separated Jiang Guo and the male educated youth, and the child blamed her all her life. In this life, she didn't want to create a rift between herself and Jiang Cheng for the same reason.

…

Dinner finally started and the children sat down at the table.

Meng Jinyu served Guan Jingyuan a bowl of soup: "Jingyuan, this is the pork rib soup that the children like the most. Try it."

Guan Jingyuan held the bowl with both hands and took a big sip. "It's delicious, Auntie. Can I learn how to cook from you in the future? I also want to learn your cooking skills so that I can cook for Jiang Cheng in the future."

After these words were spoken, the dinner table fell into complete silence.

Then, Jiang Guo rolled his eyes and sneered.

Youyou became nervous. She sat up straight, her eyes turning left and right, sandwiched between her sister and Guan Jingyuan, like a little wooden man.

Meng Jinyu noticed Jiang Guo's reaction and became a little suspicious. Then she looked at Youyou and realized something was wrong.

These two sisters were both very excited and happy when they mentioned meeting their future sister-in-law. What happened?

And Jiang Cheng also seemed to be losing interest. There was no light in his eyes as when he said he wanted to get married last night. He was also cold and distant towards Guan Jingyuan.

In comparison, only Shanshan seemed to have no worries at all and ate everything with relish.

Meeting Jiang Guo's contemptuous look, Guan Jingyuan curled the corners of his mouth awkwardly.

But soon, she recovered and said to Meng Jinyu, "Auntie, will you and Jiang Cheng come to my house for dinner tomorrow night? My parents came all the way from their hometown after hearing about it."

Guan Jingyuan is from Beijing, but her family lives in a remote mountain village and is engaged in farming. She dropped out of school early and came to the city to work, living with her uncle.

This time, when they heard that their daughter was going to get married, her parents took a bus from the village and went to her uncle's house to meet her future mother-in-law.

"My parents were very happy when they knew I was getting married. They also said that they can rest assured that I have found a good home," Guan Jingyuan said with a smile.

Jiang Guo frowned and was about to speak when her mother spoke first.

"I'm afraid you two can't get married for the time being." Meng Jinyu said with a smile: "I just remembered yesterday that gay men under the age of 22 and lesbians under the age of 20 can't get a marriage certificate."

Guan Jingyuan's smile froze.

Can’t get married?

In the past, there were many weddings for teenage girls and boys in the village, but some of them did not get marriage certificates, and some got them after a few years, so she forgot about it.

"Jiang Cheng, you are really confused." Meng Jinyu said helplessly, "You are only eighteen years old. Which military leader will approve your marriage certificate?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect this either."

"That's okay." Guan Jingyuan said sweetly, "We can get engaged first. Many people are doing this now."

"You two want to get married, isn't it because Jingyuan is going to join the army? If you're just engaged, you can't join the army. The army only recognizes marriage certificates." Meng Jinyu looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "You are still so young. If the army leaders think that you only care about love because of marriage, and it delays your future, it will be bad."

After a pause, Meng Jinyu continued, "Jingyuan will be in my store for the next few years. I will take good care of her. You two can communicate with each other during the holidays."

She is currently becoming more and more disgusted with this girl, but the object was chosen by her son himself. She does not know why Guan Jingyuan lied yet, and wants to find out the reason first.

I always feel like there's a missing link.

"Okay." Jiang Cheng paused, "I have something else to say."

Jiang Guo's brows were twisted into a knot, and he finally found a chance to interrupt.

"Mom, I have something to tell you!" She glared at Guan Jingyuan angrily and said, "She——"

"Jiang Cheng." Guan Jingyuan suddenly stood up and said, "If your family doesn't like me, then I'll go back first."

Her tears fell directly, and she said pitifully, "I didn't expect that your family had such a big prejudice against me. If you didn't agree with our marriage, you could have just not invited me. But you asked me to come, and then you said such things. Aren't you deliberately humiliating me? Or does your mother look down on me from the bottom of her heart? Isn't this hypocritical? And your sisters, they didn't like me from the first moment they saw me. Do they think I stole you away?"

Jiang Guo was furious: "Okay! You're still blaming me! Have you forgotten what happened this afternoon? What do you think of us? You look down on us. Ugh!"

The more Meng Jinyu listened, the more confused she became: "Guoguo, what on earth are you talking about? It's all mixed up."

Jiang Guo said angrily: "Youyou! You say it!"

Youyou was also touched by Guan Jing's vitality.

What kind of future sister-in-law is this? Not only does she scold them, she also scolds her mother!

But Youyou is different from her sister. Although she is angry, she is not confused.

At this moment, she opened her little mouth and explained seriously, explaining the cause and effect of the whole incident in a clear and logical manner.

"This person also said that my mother had gone to look at the store, and when my mother opened a new store, she would be the boss!" Jiang Guo added.

Meng Jinyu looked at Guan Jingyuan in disbelief: "Is that what you said?"

Guan Jingyuan's face turned red.

Just now, she wanted to interrupt Jiang Guo and run out directly, and then turn black into white when Jiang Cheng came to comfort her.

But who would have known that now, in front of the whole family, Jiang Guo and Youyou told the whole story.

"Jiang Cheng, do you want to believe what they said?" Guan Jingyuan's eyes were red, and she wanted to hold Jiang Cheng's hand, but he dodged her. "I have no grudge against them, why would I deliberately bully them? When I came here just now, I said I would buy them hairpins and skirts."

It was not until then that she realized that Jiang Cheng was in a bad mood.

She just thought he was stuck in the middle and had more confidence in herself: "I know you brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and I have never wanted to fight for anything. But they are going too far. Jiang Cheng, since your family members are forcing you like this, let's separate."

Guan Jingyuan finished speaking and turned and left.

After they get married in the future, Jiang Cheng will live with her. Will Jiang Guo and Youyou have anything to do with it?

He doesn't look like a weak person and he will definitely not allow his mother and two sisters to break up their relationship.

Thinking of this, she slowed down her pace.

He is reluctant to part with her and will definitely ask her to stay.

Three, two, one…

"Okay." Jiang Cheng whispered, "Let's separate."

Meng Jinyu was stunned.

Jiang Guo and Youyou blinked and looked at their brother in surprise.

Even Shanshan, who was completely clueless about the development of the matter, no longer had a look of indifference on her face and became serious.

Guan Jingyuan turned around in surprise as if he was struck by thunder. "You said yes? Do you believe what your two sisters said? Do you really think I would bully them?"

"I don't know if you will bully them." Jiang Cheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "I only know that my two sisters will not deliberately target you."

"You don't want to be with me anymore?"

"Are you willing to part with me?"

"Jiang Cheng, didn't we agree to live together?"

Guan Jingyuan raised his voice a little with every sentence he spoke. By the end, she was almost crying.

But Jiang Cheng remained unmoved, as if he was determined.

She guessed that he must be reluctant to leave her.

But no matter how she tried to give him a way out, Jiang Chengdu would not back down.

Guan Jingyuan's eyes flashed with shame and anger: "Let's break up, I will never talk to you again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out.

With a "bang", the door was smashed loudly.

Jiang Cheng stood straight, his eyelids slightly drooped, revealing a gloomy look.

Youyou had never seen her brother so silent.

She slowly walked to her brother and gently pulled his hand: "Brother."

Jiang Cheng rubbed Youyou's head, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to the house first."

Meng Jinyu's heart suddenly felt sore.

Like Youyou, she couldn't bear to see Jiang become like this.

She caught up with her son and said, "Jiang Cheng, whatever you want to say, you can say it clearly. Guoguo and Youyou won't feel at ease seeing you like this."

"It's not just about Guoguo and Youyou." Jiang Cheng shook his head, "Mom, there are other things."

"What else?" Meng Jinyu recalled Jiang Cheng's absent-minded look during the meal, "What did you know?"

"Mom, give me some time." When Jiang Cheng raised his eyes again, they were full of bloodshot. He said softly, "I will find out everything."

Meng Jinyu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After her brother entered the room, Youyou walked to her mother.

Meng Jinyu leaned over: "What's wrong?"

Youyou whispered something in her ear.

Meng Jinyu's eyes widened.

Youyou’s dream was very accurate, and that was why Meng Jinyu never thought of opposing Jiang Cheng and Guan Jingyuan’s relationship from the very beginning.

But now, Youyou said that the person in her dream was not Guan Jingyuan, and she was not the girl who successfully married Jiang Cheng.

If this is true, then where do the tube crystals come from?

Also, Jiang Cheng was indecisive when he was a child. Although he became much better when he grew up, he still attaches great importance to feelings.

A few days ago, he always looked happy and was energetic no matter what he did. It was obvious that he liked Guan Jingyuan very much.

But, if you obviously love each other so much, why would you break up just like that?

Meng Jinyu wanted to know what Jiang Cheng discovered this time that made him decide to give up this relationship?

…

At this time, the Jiang family in Fenglin Village, Jiangcheng was also in unrest.

During the day, Old Mrs. Jiang made a big fuss and said that she was going to find her husband and go to work in the fields with him.

She was an old lady so thin that only bones were left. She carried two hoes to look for land, which was really scary.

All the village cadres from the village committee stepped in, along with many villagers in the village. They all helped out, using both coaxing and deception, and finally persuaded Old Lady Jiang to go home.

After all this commotion, Old Mrs. Jiang was finally tired and fell into a deep sleep on the kang.

Looking at this scene, Sun Xiaofen said impatiently: "If this continues, when will our family be able to have peace?"

Jiang Jianming sighed.

At night, Old Mrs. Jiang woke up again.

Just when everyone thought she was going to make a scene again, the old lady called her most beloved granddaughter to the kang.

Jiang Xiangjia was still young, but she was not too old to understand anything. She vaguely knew that her grandmother was in poor health, so she lay on the kang and cried.

Somehow, at this moment, Old Mrs. Jiang was more sober than ever before.

She touched her granddaughter's cheek with her old hand and said, "Grandma is getting more and more confused, and her body is not doing well. She may not live long."

Jiang Xiangjia had seen other families in the village hold funerals for their elders. At that time, she asked her grandmother what it meant when a person died. Her grandmother told her that when a person dies, everything is gone and can never be seen again.

She sobbed and cried: "Grandma, please don't die, you can't die!"

"Not yet." Old Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply, "You are still so young. If grandma leaves, what will you do? I have to make arrangements for you. Grandma can only leave after you have a place to stay."

"I miss home. One of your aunts doesn't care about you, and the other is not kind to you. Your two uncles don't care about anything. When grandma leaves, you will have a hard time living with these two families. You may not be able to go to school for a few years."

"Going to school is useful. Look at the children in Jinyu's family. They all went to school and are so successful."

"I was thinking, why don't you go live with Jin Yu. There are four children in their family, all of whom are your brothers and sisters, and they have the same father. Jin Yu is a kind person, and when the time comes, he will take pity on you and will not ignore you."

Jiang Xiangjia was stunned.

She often heard the name Jin Yu mentioned by her family members.

Whenever they talked about "Jin Yu", they would sigh and say that if she was still in this family, the third branch of the Jiang family would not have become what it is now.

"If I go to her house, will she pay attention to me?" Jiang Xiangjia asked.

"Yes." Old Lady Jiang said firmly, "Jin Yu is a good person, the best person I have ever met."

That night, Old Mrs. Jiang called Jiang Gaoming and Zhu Dali to her side.

The old man took a pair of scissors with trembling hands, unstitched the stitches on the pillow, and took out a wad of money from inside.

"Tomorrow morning, you go to Jing City and bring the child to Jin Yu and ask her to take care of him."

"The last time I went to the village chief's house, I sneaked into her daughter-in-law's room while the village chief's wife was taking care of her granddaughter, and found a letter from Jin Yu to her. On the envelope was Jin Yu's address in Beijing."

"I've paid for your round trip expenses. You just need to send Xiangjia to her place, and then you can come back."

Zhu Dali's eyes widened: "Mom, Jin Yu is not stupid, nor is she so easy to talk to, how could she possibly agree!"

Old Mrs. Jiang murmured, "She will agree. If she doesn't agree, you two can just turn around and leave. By then, the child will already be at her house. Will she kick him out? Jin Yu can't do this. She can't do it..."

Zhu Dali listened to this and did not agree with it.

Meng Jinyu is a kind person, but just because she can't do this, should we leave the child to her to raise?

Don't bully people like this.

…

The next morning after Guan Jingyuan and Jiang Cheng broke up, Guan's father and mother came.

However, after the two old people rushed to the city, they found out that this time their daughter not only failed to get married, but also lost her job.

"Why did you lose your job? Even if you two don't get along anymore, you can still stay in the store as a salesperson. They didn't kick you out, so why did you leave?"

"Stop bothering me!" Guan Jingyuan covered her ears and cried, "Their son doesn't want to date me anymore, and I'm still shamelessly running to work as a salesperson in a store. How can I have the nerve to do that?"

Father Guan slammed the table and said, "How can this be justified! He said he doesn't want to be with her, so he doesn't want to be with her. Do you think our family is easy to bully? Jingyuan, where is that store? Tomorrow morning, we will go to that clothing store. If they don't give us an explanation, then we will make a scene! As a self-employed person, I am most afraid of people making a scene and spreading their ugly deeds. Let's see if anyone will still patronize her store!"

Guan Jingyuan's uncle couldn't stand it anymore and said, "They didn't do anything to Jingyuan. Dating doesn't mean they're getting married. Can't they break up? Don't go too far. One is a self-employed person and the other is a soldier. Neither of them is easy to bully. Don't let yourself suffer when the time comes."

Mother Guan snorted coldly: "Our family has never done anything wrong. Tell the truth, what are you afraid of?"

…

That afternoon, Guan Jingyuan brought his parents to the door of Meng Jinyu's store.

"Dad, Mom, please wait a moment. I'm going to go in and have a good talk with her first," she said.

Looking at his daughter's back, Guan's father curled his lips and said, "It's already this late, and you're still talking to her properly."

Guan's mother said, "Jingyuan must want to reconcile with that boy. If they can really reconcile, that's fine. After all, he is a soldier and my mother-in-law owns a store. Their future life will definitely get better and better. If they can't come to an agreement, then we won't let them go. Do you really think my daughter is easy to bully?"

Reputation is so important these days, whether in their village or in the city.

The shop owner bullies the little girl and doesn't allow her son to date properly. If this gets out, will she still be able to live as a human being?

While Guan's father and mother were discussing the matter outside, Guan Jingyuan had already walked in front of Meng Jinyu.

Seeing her, Meng Jinyu asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Guan Jingyuan bit her lip, and after a long while, she said in a gentle voice, "Boss lady, I know Jiang Cheng listens to you the most. Can you help me put in a good word in front of him? I didn't mean to bully Jiang Guo and Youyou that day. There was a misunderstanding. Let me explain it to him."

"Madam Boss, Jiang Cheng really likes me. Brothers and sisters are not meant to live with him for the rest of their lives. If I can be good to him, isn't that good enough? Jiang Cheng separated from me because of his two sisters. Can you guarantee that he won't regret it when he thinks about this in the future, and won't have a rift with Jiang Guo and You You?"

She has always been good at speaking, otherwise Meng Jinyu would not have believed in her abilities so much during her time in the store.

But if Guan Jingyuan said something else, it might still waver Meng Jinyu. But it would be ridiculous to say that this would create a rift in the relationship between Jiang Cheng and his sisters.

No one knows better than Meng Jinyu how strong the relationship between the four siblings is.

At this moment, Meng Jinyu didn't want to get entangled with Guan Jingyuan anymore, so she said directly: "I went to see Yang Pingping this morning."

Guan Jingyuan froze. This proved that she already knew what she had done.

"You were jealous of Yang Pingping and didn't want her to steal the limelight, so you stuffed ten yuan into her coat pocket and said she stole it. She knew you were deliberately framing her, but she was weak and afraid of trouble. She was scared when you said you were going to report it to the police. She was afraid that she would be arrested and couldn't defend herself, so she quit without saying a word."

"You are so stupid." Meng Jinyu looked at Guan Jingyuan's pale face and continued, "Yang Pingping is very good at sorting goods, matching, and keeping accounts. However, her sales ability is not as good as yours, and with her personality, it is difficult for her to be independent. But you just can't tolerate her and want to use despicable means to drive her away."

"With such a character, how stupid do you think I am to agree to you and Jiang Cheng being together?" Meng Jinyu sneered.

Guan Jingyuan felt a chill in his heart.

But the next moment, what Meng Jinyu said shocked her even more.

"You were asked by Ruan Wenwen, right?" Meng Jinyu asked.

"Who is Ruan Wenwen? I don't know this person." Guan Jingyuan said in panic.

Meng Jinyu understood.

It was indeed Ruan Wenwen.

This morning, she not only found Yang Pingping, but also went to find Sister Jun who had introduced the salesperson to her before.

Meng Jinyu was very familiar with Sister Jun and knew where her unit was, but strangely, after meeting, Sister Jun's attitude was lukewarm.

Meng Jinyu tried her best to persuade her, and finally found out that when Jun Jie said she would let her distant niece apply for the job, she did come, but was sent back when she arrived at the store door.

The one who drove the other person away was Ruan Wenwen.

It turned out that since then, Ruan Wenwen had been deliberately planning to bring Jiang Cheng and Guan Jingyuan together.

But why did she do that?

"What is your relationship with Ruan Wenwen?" Meng Jinyu asked.

The more she asked, the uglier Guan Jingyuan's expression became.

"I don't know, I don't know her!" Guan Jingyuan said, and turned around to run, but as soon as she reached the store door, she was stopped by her parents.

Guan's mother's face was long, and she grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Why are you running? We are not afraid."

"My daughter has been talking to you nicely for such a long time, but you just won't listen! It's just a small shop, why are you so proud?" said Guan's father.

Guan Jingyuan hurriedly pulled her mother and said, "Mom, stop talking. Let's go."

But Guan's mother dragged Guan Jingyuan to the door and shouted loudly: "All of you come and give us some advice!"

Guan's mother's voice was sharp and harsh, and soon attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

Guan Jingyuan was completely panicked and cried and begged: "Mom, let's go! Go!"

Meng Jinyu stared at her closely.

It seems that she and Ruan Wenwen are plotting something shady.

But, what exactly was it?

Meng Jinyu was thinking this when she saw Jiang Cheng walking towards her from the corner of her eye.

Today is the day Jiang Cheng returns to the army. When he left home in the morning, he said he was going to buy some things in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, he ended up here.

"Stop making trouble here. It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Meng Jinyu pulled Guan's mother's arm and said sternly, "Do you believe I can invite the public security comrades over?"

Guan's mother was frightened by her at first, but she quickly came to her senses. She was not the one who felt guilty, so why should she be afraid!

"Please treat me! If you don't, I'll tell you now!"

"Everyone, please judge for yourself. My daughter is a salesperson in this store, and the boss lady didn't allow her daughter to date her son, so she kicked her out!"

"My daughter and her boyfriend had a great relationship, but it was all because of this evil woman that they broke up!"

"My daughter is a pure and innocent girl. Why is it so difficult for her to find a boyfriend? They both said they were going to get married. Everyone in our village knows about it. Now they break up just like that. How can my daughter get married?"

Passersby were talking about it.

"Isn't free love popular now?"

"This is not the age where marriages are decided by parents or matchmakers anymore. There is no need to do this."

"The girl is from the countryside, and rural people are quite concerned about this matter. It's already the critical moment of marriage. If they don't get along now, isn't it the same as breaking up the engagement? No wonder the mother is angry..."

Meng Jinyu doesn't care what passers-by think of her, but she cares about the business in her store.

At this time, she looked at Guan Jingyuan and said, "Explain yourself to me immediately. If you don't explain, I will definitely investigate the matter between you and Ruan Wenwen to the end."

At this time, Jiang Cheng saw a big commotion outside his mother's shop and quickened his pace.

However, when he walked to the door of the store, what he heard was Guan Jingyuan's gnashing teeth.

"If you insist on getting to the bottom of this, then I'll go and make a scene. You can make a scene here, but it's just a small shop. With your ability, it won't be difficult to open another one somewhere else. But what if I go to Jiang Cheng's army to make a scene? I say that he treats relationships between men and women incorrectly and hurts my feelings, and then he just walks away. What will his leaders in the army think of this?"

Jiang Cheng paused.

His gaze fell on Guan Jingyuan's face, which had become ferocious due to anger and frustration.

"I also want to know what the leaders in the army will think. Do you dare to go?" Jiang Cheng spoke in a low voice.

Guan Jingyuan froze, held his breath, and looked back at Jiang Cheng.

When Guan's father saw Jiang Cheng coming, he became even more excited: "Look, it's this guy. He is the one who plays with my daughter's feelings without knowing right or wrong! It doesn't make any sense at all. He doesn't want to be with my daughter just because her mother doesn't like her. He is really a piece of shit!"

Guan Jingyuan's heart suddenly became nervous.

For some reason, she felt that Jiang Cheng at this moment seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

Became unapproachable and no longer as gentle as before.

"Dad, stop talking." Guan Jingyuan said.

Guan's father spat and said, "I'm going to say it! If you have the guts, ask him to give me a reason and tell me why he doesn't want to be with my daughter anymore! What's wrong with my daughter? Why is she not worthy of him?"

Meng Jinyu was so annoyed that she really wanted to just grab a broom and chase them out.

She stood in front of Jiang Cheng and said, "Go home first. I'll take care of this."

However, Jiang Cheng gently fended her off.

He took a step forward and looked at Guan Jingyuan coldly: "Okay, I'll give you a reason."

Guan Jingyuan clenched her teeth and didn't dare to look Jiang Cheng in the eye for the first time.

That's right, when she listened to Ruan Wenwen and approached Jiang Cheng, she cared about Jiang Cheng's conditions.

But after actually getting in touch with him, she was moved.

It is really hard not to be moved by a boy who is tall, handsome, has a bright future, and loves her so much.

She didn't want to be separated from him, and she didn't want Meng Jinyu to mention Ruan Wenwen over and over again, forcing her to recall the darkest and most despicable memory in her life.

That's why she threatened Meng Jinyu with Jiang Cheng's future.

"Before I give you a reason, tell me first, who is Wu Deyao?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.

In an instant, the blood color on Guan Jingyuan's face faded.

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she asked in a trembling voice: "You know everything?"

Jiang Cheng turned to look at Guan Jingyuan's parents and said in a deep voice, "Your daughter Guan Jingyuan had an improper relationship with Wu Deyao, a married man at Dejing Garment Factory, while she was working there. Did you know that? This Thursday, which was yesterday morning, Guan Jingyuan went to the hospital with him to check if she was pregnant. Did you know that?"

"I just wanted to part ways with Guan Jingyuan in peace, but you guys insisted on coming to my mom's store to make trouble. If you don't believe what I said, I can show you the evidence and tell you all the details."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

Mother Guan kept shaking her head, her face as white as paper: "Impossible! Impossible!"

With a "slap", Guan's father slapped Guan Jingyuan hard on the face: "Your uncle said you went to the hospital yesterday, but I didn't expect that you actually went to..."

At this moment, Jiang Cheng was not the only one who connected the cause and effect of this matter.

From what he said and Guan Jingyuan's expression, Meng Jinyu suddenly understood.

The relationship between Ruan Wenwen and Guan Jingyuan is very simple.

It's just a story about a mistress who is afraid that her position will be lost, so she tries every means to drive away the fourth mistress.

Jiang Cheng looked at Guan Jingyuan and said expressionlessly: "I thought about saving your face."

The onlookers made "tsk tsk" sounds.

"The little girl looks pretty, but she could do such a thing."

"She saw that the young man was usually in the army, so she thought she could hide it from him! But she didn't expect that the young man was so smart despite his young age."

"Where is the Dejing Garment Factory? That guy named Wu is not a good guy either!"

Guan Jingyuan's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Guan's father and mother were both shocked and embarrassed. They were so angry that they were shaking all over. When they turned to look at the passers-by who were talking about the matter, they could not even raise their heads.

…

On the other side, Youyou and Jiang Guo were waiting for their brother to come back home.

But before they could reach their brother, they heard furtive muttering outside the house.

The two sisters stared at each other and listened by the door for a long time before they breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not a bad person.

They are their relatives, uncle and aunt!

"I miss home. We're leaving first. You stay here obediently."

"When their family finds you, you have to be sweet and behave yourself, just like your grandma taught you, and stay here and don't leave no matter what. Do you understand?"

Zhu Dali said with difficulty: "Gao Ming, we really can't do this. How can we do this?"

"Women are short-sighted and have long hair. Jinyu is now rich and can live in such a big house in Beijing. Are you still worried that she can't raise a child? It was mom who asked us to send the child here. If the child is not sent away, she will not be at ease. Don't nag me. I have the final say on this matter."

Jiang Gaoming said these words to his wife in a bad mood, and then said to Jiang Xiangjia: "We are leaving first, you stay here obediently."

But who knew, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening with a creak.

Youyou opened the door and said openly, "Uncle, aunt, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Jiang Gaoming's face changed, and without thinking about anything, he grabbed his wife's hand and ran away.

Looking at the two of them running away, Jiang Guo curled her lips and said, "You are so old, but you still act so disrespectfully."

Youyou set her eyes on Jiang Xiangjia.

Jiang Xiangjia tilted his head: "Sister?"

Youyou remembered that she had quarreled with her when she was little.

At that time, Jiang Xiangjia couldn't even speak, but he just snatched her maltose!

What sister? Youyou doesn’t like her at all.

"What are you doing standing here?" Youyou asked.

Jiang Xiangjia scratched his head: "My grandma told me to come to your house and said that your mother would support me and pay for my education."

Jiang Guo's anger rose again.

Why are all the people I meet lately so annoying?

"Why? My mom works very hard, why should she support you? Go to whoever is willing to support you, and don't stand outside our house!"

Jiang Xiangjia looked at Jiang Guo blankly.

Jiang Guo was furious, but the more she yelled, the more she felt like she was punching cotton.

She gritted her teeth and thought, how should I get rid of this child?

Otherwise, go ask Uncle Gu for help?

"Let me take you to your mother's house." Youyou suddenly said.

Jiang Xiangjia's green eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know where my mother is?"

Youyou nodded: "Of course, let's go."

Jiang Guo was stunned. She stood there, watching their backs gradually walking away, and could still hear their conversation in her ears.

"You were born by your mother, not my mother. If you have any problems in the future, you have to find your own mother. Do you understand?"

"But my mother is missing."

"Aren't I going to take you to find her?"

"Sister, you are amazing. You even know where my mother is."

"Hey, don't call me sister!"

"Okay, sister."

The corners of Jiang Guo's mouth twitched, and he quickly caught up with Youyou.

Does she really know where Ruan Wenwen lives?

I hope both of them don't get lost.
