Chapter 82 Xixi's true identity resurfaces
Father Jiang was so angry that his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Brother Zhang.
"Maybe I'm just old and I've got it wrong. It's getting late, Brother Zhang, so I'll head back now."
Hearing Mr. Jiang's timid response, Brother Zhang couldn't help but chuckle.
I thought he was a man of great integrity.
“Go ahead. Remember to work faster tomorrow. I didn’t tell you two because you’re new here, but several team members have already complained to me that you’re working too slowly. If this continues, I’ll have a hard time dealing with your work points.”
Brother Zhang's expression was ambiguous, and his tone was very nonchalant.
This matter should have been dealt with long ago, but he hesitated to act because of the nice things the couple had given him.
Mr. Jiang could no longer contain himself, but when he turned to question Brother Zhang, he was afraid and could only pretend not to hear and continue walking out.
Upon seeing this, Brother Zhang inside laughed even more unrestrainedly.
What a cowardly piece of trash.
When Mr. Jiang and his wife returned to their small house, their faces immediately fell.
"What a fucking bastard! He took our stuff and did nothing. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have fed all that stuff to the dogs."
As he spoke, he casually threw his thick coat heavily onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see there's a living person on the kang (heated brick bed)?"
Jiang's mother's nose was hit by a button from her coat, causing her severe pain and bringing tears to her eyes.
"A living person? If this continues, we'll both be dead sooner or later!"
Father Jiang snorted coldly and cursed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother disregarded her nose bridge and quickly pressed for an answer.
"What did Brother Zhang tell you?"
"What else can we say? They don't even acknowledge any deal between us. When asked, they just tell us to work hard and not to overthink things. They also say that we've had too many good days and it's time for us to suffer. They say that what goes around comes around."
"Hmph, that old bastard didn't say that when he took my money."
Women are naturally observant, and while Jiang's father didn't notice the problem, Jiang's mother immediately sensed something was amiss upon hearing this.
They've heard the phrase "too many good days, now comes the suffering" so many times since they were sent down to the farm.
But what goes around comes around. This saying seems reasonable at first glance, but the more you think about it, the more something seems off.
"Old Jiang, do you think someone gave Brother Zhang orders to mess with us?"
Otherwise, we did quite a few transactions at the beginning, with cash on delivery. Back then, Brother Zhang took the money and got things done very smoothly!
When Jiang's mother brought it up, Jiang's father also felt that something was wrong.
"Yeah, so who exactly hates us so much? Logically speaking, we've both been sent to the countryside, so who would have such a deep grudge against us that they would go to such lengths to chase us all the way to the countryside and make our lives miserable?"
Jiang's father thought and thought, almost going through everyone he had offended over the years, but still couldn't figure out who it was.
On the contrary, Jiang's mother, who was standing next to her, had her own guesses.
"Old man, do you think it could be Jiang Xixi?"
Upon hearing Jiang's mother's words, Jiang's father was first taken aback, then sneered.
"Old woman, you're overthinking it. That girl doesn't have that kind of ability. Besides, we're her parents, so why would she go to such lengths to deal with us?"
"What if she finds out about her background?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang was completely stunned.
Jiang's mother, standing beside her, was also deathly pale.
That girl's background was exceptionally complicated, but in any case, none of the families she was involved with were people the Jiang family could afford to offend.
"No, don't scare yourself. If that girl's background is discovered, given her family's wealth, we won't be facing such a small commotion."
Well, Jiang's mother was comforted by these words.
"Wait a minute, Old Jiang, where did you put the koi fish pendant that symbolizes that brat?"
"Didn't you put those things there? How would I know? Don't tell me they're gone?"
Father Jiang's eyes widened in fury, as if he wanted to devour someone, for that was something that concerned his life.
"I don't know! I remember I put it under the brick by the bed in our room. Oh right, I put it under the brick by the bed in our room."
What to do? I was in such a rush when I was sent down to the countryside, I didn't think to take that thing.
"Idiot, call Yu Rou right now and tell her to find a way to go back. No matter who has that thing, it's a ticking time bomb for us."
Hehe, it's too late after all. The koi jade pendant you all longed for has long become Jiang Xixi's personal koi space.
Jiang Xixi was unaware of the turmoil her nominal parents felt because of her koi fish pendant...
She was doing something big at that moment.
...
"Wei Laicheng, are you even capable? You haven't found a single one?"
Standing inside the largest scrap yard in Beijing, Jiang Xixi's tone was one of utter shock.
You should know that the two of them had been searching here all morning.
She arrived in about half an hour and had found all the books she needed. Over the next few hours, she had already thoroughly explored the area. And what about Wei Laicheng?
That whole morning, he couldn't find a single book he was looking for.
Wei Laicheng was also embarrassed. He was indeed unlucky, but after marrying his wife, his luck improved dramatically. He thought he had turned his luck around.
Who would have thought that bad luck had never left, just waiting for the day it would come and give him a good whack.
"Honey, I'm really not very lucky."
Wei Laicheng touched his nose and said sullenly.
Jiang Xixi sighed helplessly; her luck was truly terrible.
But what can she do about her own husband? She has no choice but to spoil him!
What are you looking for? Say the title of the book and I'll find it for you.
Wei Laicheng then beamed with joy, which made Jiang Xixi roll her eyes.
"Honey, I need to find some mechanical books, preferably the kind that anyone with no prior experience can learn from. My foundation isn't very solid, so I plan to start learning from scratch."
Oh, honey, remember to find me a few more math books. I've always been bad at math, but I need to draw diagrams for mechanical engineering, and I can't understand them because I'm bad at math..."
As Wei Laicheng listed a series of books, Jiang Xixi flipped through them quickly.
This was really strenuous work; in just a short while, Jiang Xixi's nose was covered in sweat.
Fortunately, Wei Laicheng is a fairly perceptive young man.
He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and rushed over to wipe Jiang Xixi's sweat, saying all sorts of sweet things to her.
It has to be said that the emotional value was fully provided.
As she saw more and more books being found, and Wei Laicheng had found all the books he needed, Jiang Xixi was about to stand up when she suddenly caught something out of the corner of her eye.
"It was that?"
Jiang Xixi's tone was filled with obvious surprise.
