Chapter 59 Jiang Qiubai is going to remarry?

Unlike the tumultuous night that Jiang Qiubai spent in the West Chamber.

In the east wing, Cheng Jiajia received a new 30 yuan. She slept soundly that night and woke up refreshed the next morning.

While washing up, the middle-aged women gathered around the sink and whispered among themselves. Cheng Jiajia thought they were still talking about the haunted public toilet. She thought to herself that these women were really gossipy. If she weren't the one who started this rumor, she would have believed it too.

Then, Aunt Cao said mysteriously, "I heard it clearly, that ghost was looking for its own gold."

"Pah! What gold? I think they're just desperate to get rich!"

Cheng Jiajia: "???"

She was full of questions, so she quietly pricked up her ears to listen again.

"Yes, yes, I heard it yesterday while I was half asleep. It sounded like a man yelling something like, 'Where's my gold?' It was terrifying!"

This old lady lived in two rooms in the third courtyard, near the west wing of the second courtyard. She heard it very clearly last night; the sound was like it was right next to her ear, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to sleep for the rest of the night.

"Wait a minute, wasn't there a female ghost over there at the public restroom? How come there's a male ghost now?"

"Could it be that another ghost died unjustly?"

Cheng Jiajia: "..."

It's confirmed. This 'male ghost' seems to have been accidentally created by her again.

If she's right, the people in the west wing must have opened her 'token of love' last night to look for the gold inside.

It's easy to imagine how Zheng Haiyang will react then.

Cheng Jiajia twitched her lips speechlessly. This time, she really wasn't trying to scare everyone on purpose.

She can't control other people's emotions either!

Cheng Jiajia turned her face away guiltily.

I'm so sorry, my dear neighbors!

Jiang Qiubai, with a grim expression, walked by carrying a washbasin and glared hatefully at Cheng Jiajia.

When you think there's gold inside the shoe rack, you don't feel it's expensive no matter how much you spend.

But once it was confirmed that there was no gold inside, just a pile of broken wood, thirty yuan became an exorbitant price.

Especially yesterday, I got slapped by Zheng Haicheng over thirty yuan, that bastard!!

Therefore, Jiang Qiubai is currently very unhappy with Cheng Jiajia.

You spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of junk, and then get beaten up. Who would feel good about that?

Cheng Jiajia understood, so she generously let it go and didn't mind her glaring at her, hehe!

However, the male lead Zheng Haiyang has truly lowered his standards, actually hitting women. What a scumbag!

However, she felt no guilt. Jiang Qiubai had only been slapped, what was that?

In the original book, the two main characters did far worse things to the original owner. The original owner died "appropriately" to make way for the female lead.

Cheng Jiajia ignored Jiang Qiubai's resentful gaze and went to the pool to wash up with a calm expression.

Jiang Qiubai gritted his teeth inwardly and slowly walked to her side.

Normally, Jiang Qiubai would pretend not to see Cheng Jiajia, but today, she deliberately placed the washbasin next to Cheng Jiajia and stood beside her.

He stared at her for a while, seeing that she seemed completely unaware of his arrival.

Jiang Qiubai gritted her teeth and asked softly, "Xiao Cheng, did you sleep well last night?"

How can you sleep soundly after swindling so much money from them?

Cheng Jiajia seemed to only then notice her arrival, and greeted her in surprise, "Sister Jiang, you're up?"

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Damn it, damn it!

You're the eldest sister, your whole family is the eldest sister!

I'm only 21 this year, how did I become the eldest sister?!

Before she could retort, Cheng Jiajia replied with a happy expression, "I slept really well last night. I'm so happy that Yu Junsheng and my token of love could help you. I even had a smile on my face in my dream. We feel so at ease being able to do something small for our neighbors. No wonder the neighborhood office keeps promoting learning from Comrade Lei Feng."

Jiang Qiubai: "..." What the hell is this about learning from Comrade Lei Feng!

"What's the matter?"

Cheng Jiajia looked at her with a puzzled expression, seemingly very surprised that she would ask such a question.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

Why aren't you sleeping well?

"Didn't our token of love help you?"

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Jiang Qiubai's face twisted for a moment, but he still felt the pain of losing the thirty yuan yesterday.

She completely ignored Cheng Jiajia's subsequent questions and spoke to herself in an ambiguous tone:

"That's true, how could you not sleep well if you got thirty yuan worth of food for free?"

"Take it easy, don't overeat!"

Jiang Qiubai spoke the last sentence with particular gritted teeth.

Cheng Jiajia knew how to annoy people, so she nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll eat slowly."

"This morning I'll try steaming buns made with flour I got from helping others to see if they're even more fragrant."

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Jiang Qiubai went berserk, screaming, "Ahhh!"

How can there be such infuriating and shameless people in this world?!

She slammed the enamel basin down and ran back to the Zheng family home in a few quick steps.

The door to the west wing slammed shut with a loud bang.

Everyone: "!!!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared in shock in the direction of the Zheng family's house.

Guan Ai patted her chest, looking startled. "Oh dear, young people these days are so unreliable! What's with all this crazy behavior? You scared me half to death!"

"Maybe he was hit by the ocean?" Aunt Cao had sharp eyes and had noticed the handprint on Jiang Qiubai's face earlier.

"He's a pitiful one; he got beaten so badly his brain is damaged."

The others immediately wore expressions of delighted surprise, exclaiming, "Wow, we never knew Zheng Haiyang had this habit of beating his wife!"

"Don't end up like Bao Chunming in the front yard."

"That's terrifying!"

Cheng Jiajia almost burst out laughing when she heard the aunties' discussion, but she managed to hold it in.

She just wanted to give Aunt Cao a thumbs up.

As expected of me, Aunt Cao!

Zheng Haiyang: ...My reputation has been damaged!

No, I didn't!

...

When Cheng Jiajia got home, she happily announced to Yu Junsheng, "I've had a lot of success lately, let's go to a state-run restaurant for lunch to celebrate!"

See you at the state-run restaurant at noon!

Yu Junsheng had no objection to his wife treating everyone, and the two happily agreed to it.

Cheng Jiajia went into the kitchen to cook, and soon brought out today's breakfast: steamed buns made from white flour that Zheng Haiyang had sent yesterday, and a pot of corn porridge.

She kneaded the dough before going to bed at night, placed it on the kang (a heated brick bed) to warm and ferment, and could steam it directly in the morning.

If this happened in another company, it might have caused a conflict.

However, Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia were quite in sync when it came to food. Neither of them was willing to compromise their own comfort and wanted to eat well within the given resources.

So the couple got along quite well.

After finishing their meal, Yu Junsheng conscientiously cleared the table and went to wash the dishes. This was how they always did things: one cooked and the other washed the dishes, sharing the housework and neither of them would leave everything to the other.

At times like these, Cheng Jiajia felt extremely fortunate to have married Yu Junsheng.

In other families, regardless of the man's character, what mother-in-law could stand seeing her son doing chores while her daughter-in-law rests?

Cheng Jiajia didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like if she married into a family with a domineering mother-in-law and a blindly obedient husband.

Perhaps it will be a similar ending to the original owner of the body in the book.

...

Cheng Jiajia and her husband were happily planning to have a big lunch at a state-run restaurant when the Zheng family received an uninvited guest not long after.

A middle-aged woman with a mean face stood at the Zheng family's door and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Jiang Qiubai, Jiang Qiubai, you brat, come out here right now!"

The middle-aged woman was Jiang Qiubai's mother, Sun Cuihua.

Jiang Qiubai was startled when she heard her mother's voice and immediately ran out in a panic, "Mom, why are you here?"

Jiang Qiubai knew his mother's personality; she would never come to the tenement to look for him unless there was a reason.

Her appearance always means something is up, and something significant at that.

Jiang Qiubai was extremely flustered, afraid that her mother would make some difficult demands. This fear was evident in her tone.

Sun Cuihua noticed and glared at Jiang Qiubai, saying with exasperation, "You idiot, Zheng Haiyang and that old hag are both in jail, what are you still doing here? Come back with me!"

That brat! She disappeared without a word the day before yesterday, and I had to make her come here to wait for me.

Jiang Qiubai thought her mother was worried about her, so she quickly explained, "No, Mom, Haiyang, he..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Cuihua grabbed Jiang Qiubai's arm and tried to lead him away without saying a word.

"Come on, come on, hurry home, there's some great news waiting for you!"

She didn't care about any of these "Ocean Brothers." Ever since Zheng Haiyang returned home with a bag of sweet potatoes and radishes and beat her three precious sons, Sun Cuihua had treated him as if she didn't have a son-in-law.

Jiang Qiubai paused, then asked in confusion, "Mom, is there some kind of happy occasion at home? How come I didn't know?"

Sun Cuihua's face instantly lit up with a smile. She clapped her hands and said joyfully, "Oh my! This is such a wonderful thing! I've found you a new man, daughter. Come back with me to meet him."

She had misunderstood before; she shouldn't have taken her anger out on her eldest daughter and treated her badly because of Zheng Haiyang's matter.

A daughter is the best!

This girl receives a dowry every time she marries, and she can receive another dowry when she marries again.

And each time it gets higher than the last.

It's amazing that they would even be interested in her, a divorcee.

As soon as Sun Cuihua finished speaking, the onlookers fell silent and stared wide-eyed at Jiang Qiubai.

"What the heck?!"

"A new man?!"

"Good heavens, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family wants a divorce, is she done?!"

"Oh no, what about the ocean?"

Jiang Qiubai, who was about to go on a blind date, was also dumbfounded. She screamed, "Wh-what?"

As a member of the husband's family, Zheng Haicheng was the first to rush forward, pointing his finger at Jiang Qiubai's nose and passionately shouting, "Well, well! You shameless woman! You actually took advantage of my brother's absence to find another man! You unfaithful slut, how could you do this to my brother?!"

Zheng Haicheng already had a lot of grievances against Jiang Qiubai, and upon hearing this, he immediately became furious and angrily stepped forward to berate Jiang Qiubai.

Jiang Qiubai felt very wronged and shook his head repeatedly, "No, I didn't, second brother, you misunderstood me, I really didn't look for a new partner."

Jiang Qiubai felt utterly wronged. When had she ever said she wanted to remarry?

She was finally able to get out of the house, and she was planning to settle down with him. How could she have such thoughts?

Zheng Haicheng didn't believe it. He spat out a word of disdain, "Pah! So that's what you were planning all along, packing your bags and disappearing the other day!"

Zheng Haicheng suddenly understood. No wonder she ran back to her parents' home and ignored her younger brother and sister-in-law as soon as her older brother got into trouble, and even dared to beat and scold him outside. So that's why!

Jiang Qiubai's eyes flickered a few times, and he kept shaking his head to explain that he didn't.

Zheng Haicheng saw it all and snorted coldly.

That bitch, she's definitely not one to stay put!

Sun Cuihua, however, remained defiant and continued to persuade her, "Girl, your ex-boyfriend is already in jail, and who knows what will happen to him in the future? Are you just going to be foolish and wait for him to come out? Silly child, it's not worth it. Who knows what will happen to him!"

“Listen to your mother, go to another place. I won’t hurt you! The director of the cannery has had his wife dead for several years, and he has three kids. He just wants a capable wife like you! Daughter, if you marry him, you’ll be an official’s wife and have endless blessings!”

Everyone: "..."

This isn't a trip to enjoy life; it's more like going to work as a nanny.

But believe it or not, some people might actually be fooled by the title of "official's wife" and think that being a stepmother isn't so bad.

Everyone glanced at Jiang Qiubai, and their expressions changed.

Bao Dayan looked at him with disdain and mocked him directly, "Oh my, this man hasn't even done anything yet, and he's already looking for a new one. Is he that insatiable for men?"

She spat fiercely, "Pah! You're a disgrace to us women!"

Hmph, Bao Dayan still remembers clearly how those two scoundrels conspired to smear her. She wishes that the couple would both suffer misfortune, great misfortune!

A few days ago, Zheng Haiyang and Chang Dafeng were arrested. Bao Dayan happily bought braised pig's head to celebrate, but they were released in just two days, which made Bao Dayan very disappointed for a while.

Now that Jiang Qiubai is in trouble, she naturally seizes the opportunity to kick him while he's down.

Jiang Qiubai blushed deeply at these words.

She was filled with shame and indignation, wishing she could cover her mother's mouth. She angrily shouted, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"When did I say I was going to remarry?!"

If Haiyang heard this, he would probably think that I had ulterior motives.

Jiang Qiubai was already angry with Haiyang for losing thirty yuan. If he found out about the foolish thing his mother had done, he didn't even want to think about what the consequences would be.

Sun Cuihua glared at her and said fiercely, "That man in front of you has already gone in. Don't tell me you're waiting for him. You brat, hurry up and come back with me to see Director Niu. He's still waiting at home! He wanted to see you the day before yesterday, but who knew you'd disappear without a trace! Otherwise, would I, your mother, have come to this yard to catch you?"

Jiang Qiubai felt a moment of guilt, but she quickly explained, "Mom, Haiyang didn't go in, you misunderstood..."

Unfortunately, she hadn't finished speaking, or rather, no one cared what she was saying at all.

Zheng Haicheng laughed angrily, "Well, well, so you've climbed up the social ladder. I was wondering why such an honest person suddenly became so arrogant! So that's how it is!"

He could tell from the tone of her voice that this slut must have been preparing to meet someone at home.

Unexpectedly, their older brother came out early, disrupting their plans, which is why they ended up back in the tenement.

"Since you've found a better place to go, you're not welcome in my house either. Get out!"

Zheng Haicheng suddenly pushed Jiang Qiubai toward Sun Cuihua.

Sun Cuihua was really something else; she grabbed the person and pulled them outside.

"I'm not going, second brother! Don't listen to my mom's nonsense. I'm already married to your brother, how could I be interested in someone else? I'm not that kind of person, Mom, let me go, I want to go home!"

"Pah! This isn't your home, you're not welcome here!"

"See? You're not well-liked in this family either. Daughter, come back with Mom. Would Mom ever hurt you?" Sun Cuihua said, pulling the girl along with an irrepressible smile on her face.

The dowry was 500 yuan; her heart is still trembling.

Jiang Qiubai cried and struggled to go home, but Zheng Haicheng had already blocked the door.

Zheng Haicheng was blocking him from entering, while Sun Cuihua was still trying to pull him out.

In a short while, Sun Cuihua actually managed to pull the weeping Jiang Qiubai away.

Everyone: "..."

Why is this being performed like a traditional opera?

Can a mother force her daughter to remarry?

It shouldn't be... right?

...

After everyone left, someone finally asked the crucial question, "Hey, wait a minute, didn't Zheng Haiyang come back? Aren't they divorced? This can't go on, can it?"

"Uh, it seems so..."

"Hiss~ It's really complicated..."

Everyone thought to themselves, what if Zheng Haiyang came back and found out that his mother-in-law had personally dragged his wife back to remarry and become a stepmother...

Sizzle~

I can't even imagine it, I can't even imagine it!

No man could tolerate this!

...

So when Zheng Haiyang came home from get off work, he was greeted by the sympathetic looks and hesitant expressions of his neighbors.

He was completely confused. His mother hadn't been home recently, and no one in the family had committed any crimes.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Zheng Haicheng came up angrily to complain, "Big brother, the Jiang family is bullying us too much!"

He has recently developed a strong grudge against Jiang Qiubai, and his words are naturally exaggerated.

Jiang Qiubai clearly denied wanting to remarry, but in his words it became "a guilty conscience in a state of panic".

He was the one who pushed Jiang Qiubai to Sun Cuihua and wouldn't let him in, but in his words, it became "Jiang Qiubai followed Sun Cuihua half-heartedly."

In short, let's wait for Zheng Haicheng to finish explaining.

Zheng Haiyang's face was already ashen, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

With a "bang".

He slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup clink and rattle.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

He's not even dead yet, and his mother-in-law is already brazenly coming over to introduce other men to his wife!

That's incredibly disrespectful of them!

And Jiang Qiubai, is he dead?

She does whatever her mother says? And she even went with her mother?

What an idiot!

etc!

Why did this woman immediately go to her parents' home and never return after her accident?

Zheng Haiyang narrowed his eyes. Could it be that this stupid woman really had the idea of ​​abandoning him and becoming someone else's official's wife and stepmother?
