In her past life, she was blind and foolish, rejecting the man who doted on her, ultimately leading to the ruin of her family and being pushed off a cliff.
Reborn before her divorce, Jiang Ji...
In truth, Jiang Jinhua was inwardly complaining, "Who is this? He's so ugly."
In his eyes, apart from his sister and mother being beautiful, everyone else was just average.
He Mei, on the other hand, did not fit his aesthetic preferences.
He Mei was no longer the youthful beauty she had been before she was unmarried.
There are many more wrinkles around my eyebrows, and my skin has become much duller and yellower.
And now, the way she looks at Jiang Jinhua is like a stray dog seeing a meat bun.
This made Jiang Jinhua feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Jinhua involuntarily took a few steps back, widening the distance between the two.
"Don't get so close unless it's absolutely necessary." His tone was disdainful.
But He Mei seemed not to hear him and took another step closer to him.
“I’m your sister’s good friend here. I’ve heard your sister mention you before. I didn’t expect you to go to the countryside too. Your sister didn’t even tell me. That’s so disloyal of her.”
"Impossible, my sister could never have a friend like you, you're so ugly." Jiang Jinhua blurted out whatever came to mind.
How could he not know when his sister made such a shady friend?
Anyway, anything he doesn't know doesn't count.
If it really is his sister's friend, he will tell his sister not to associate with such a person.
He had a gut feeling that this woman was not a good person.
He Mei's expression changed immediately upon hearing Jiang Jinhua's words: "How can you say such things? How can you just casually call a girl ugly?"
You know, before she married Liu Jianjun, she was the most beautiful girl in Gujia Village, okay?
Has she become ugly?
Thinking this, she went to the riverbank and looked at her reflection. She was alright.
Thinking of her purpose in coming here, He Mei squatted down, her hands wet, and began to tidy her somewhat messy bangs.
With the lubrication of water, her bangs were finally fixed in the way she wanted.
She moved closer to Jiang Jinhua and said, "Was my bangs too messy just now? Do you think it looks better now?"
As she spoke, she moved closer to Jiang Jinhua.
Jiang Jinhua was so frightened that she took several steps back: "You, you don't come near me."
Seeing Jiang Jinhua's reaction, He Mei smiled and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? I'm not going to eat you. Here, I just cooked some mung bean porridge. It's very delicious. It's perfect for summer to cool you down."
As she spoke, she took a bowl out of the basket and handed it to Jiang Jinhua.
Jiang Jinhua wouldn't dare eat food from strangers.
He waved his hands repeatedly and stepped back.
However, he stepped into a small pit and fell backward.
His raised hand just happened to touch the bowl that He Mei was extending.
The whole bowl of mung bean porridge was spilled all over him.
Jiang Jinhua strongly suspects that this is retribution.
Was she sent by the village chief to take revenge on him?
Is it true that everything that happens in the world has to be paid for?
Jiang Jinhua was on the verge of tears.
He lay on the ground, utterly despondent, with no will to live.
I thought I'd wash it later, since there's a river right next to it anyway.
But while he wanted to give up, some people were unwilling.
When He Mei saw that the mung bean porridge had been spilled on Jiang Jinhua, she quickly took out her handkerchief from her bosom to wipe it off for Jiang Jinhua.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
The way she squatted down was a bit suggestive, and the area she wanted to wipe was under Jiang Jinhua's pants.
Jiang Jinhua was so frightened that she quickly got up: "Ah—you're being a pervert!"
At that moment, Gu Xiliang's voice came from afar: "My God, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
Gu Xiliang had come to call Jiang Jinhua to come home for lunch, but what he saw there shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped.
Upon hearing Gu Xiliang's voice, Jiang Jinhua rushed towards him as if he had found a lifeline: "Brother, help! There's a female hooligan here!"
He jumped directly onto Gu Xiliang, who was caught off guard, and before he knew it, they both fell to the ground.
In the instant he struggled to his feet, he discovered that his surroundings were covered in a lot of green, white, and sticky stuff: "What is this?"
Gu Xiliang shouted, somewhat devastated.
Jiang Jinhua followed his gaze and then turned away with a look of disgust.
He pointed in He Mei's direction and said innocently, "The mung bean porridge was brought by that woman."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiliang frowned slightly: "How did you end up with him?"
His words made Jiang Jinhua jump up again, very agitated: "Gu Xiliang, watch your words! Who, who's involved with her? She just inexplicably stuck to me, I don't even know her."
Jiang Jinhua felt utterly wronged. Not only was he inexplicably harassed, but he was also covered in filth, and now his brother was accusing him.
When He Mei saw Gu Xiliang looking at her, she packed her things and prepared to leave.
She didn't want to confront Gu Xiliang directly; she knew what kind of person he was.
Moreover, she had recently heard that Gu Xiliang had been frequently visiting his uncle's house.
He must know about her relationship with Jiang Jinxiu.
If she wants to win over Jiang Jinhua, she can't let anyone else stand in her way.
She should wait until Jiang Jinhua is alone before contacting him.
"Hey, isn't this He Mei, the former village beauty? Why did you walk away when you saw me? Am I a flood or a ferocious beast?"
Gu Xiliang's words were somewhat sarcastic.
In the past, Gu Xiliang might have called her Sister Mei, but after recent events, he felt that there was no need to do so anymore.
Anyone who was at odds with his third sister-in-law was also his enemy.
He doesn't need to be nice to them.
He Mei chuckled dryly twice: "Oh, it's Xiao Liang. What are you saying? I just had something to do and wanted to leave first."
"Stop, don't try to claim kinship with me. I don't have a sister. My mother only gave birth to me, and my aunt only gave birth to my sister. I don't have any sisters."
This woman is now his third sister-in-law's enemy; she couldn't possibly not know that he and his third brother and sister-in-law have the best relationship.
Now she's calling herself his sister in front of him again. Who is she trying to annoy?
Jiang Jinhua felt that the name He Mei sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard it before.
Gu Xiliang looked at Jiang Jinhua, then at He Mei in front of him, and asked with some curiosity, "Hua-zai, the female hooligan you mentioned wouldn't happen to be her, would it?"
Jiang Jinhua nodded.
He was really upset, all he did was herd cattle, and yet people were targeting him.
He Mei got anxious: "Comrade Xiao Hua, I just saw that you looked tired here, so I kindly offered you a bowl of mung bean porridge. How did that make you a female hooligan? If it weren't for your sister, I wouldn't bother with you."
She firmly denied that she was after Jiang Jinhua.
Gu Xiliang was delighted when he heard this.
A person who had a bad relationship with his third sister-in-law actually used her name to show concern for her brother.
"He Mei, if I remember correctly, you and my third sister-in-law don't get along very well, do you?"
