Jiang Wangjing sighed helplessly and slowly withdrew his gaze.
He and Su Miantang were classmates in junior high school. Back then, she was always radiant and eye-catching.
He himself appeared timid and unknown.
Throughout the three years of junior high school, he never mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to her, nor did he dare to boldly pursue the love of his heart.
Until one day, a matchmaker came to his house to propose marriage. At first, he was quite disgusted by this kind of thing, but for some reason, he sat down and listened patiently that day.
When he heard the matchmaker mention that he wanted to matchmake for the girl from the Su family in Xiahe Village, his heart suddenly started beating faster for no apparent reason.
Three years later, he finally heard news about her again, and it was through a matchmaker!
At that moment, he was ecstatic and excited beyond words.
After the matchmaker left, he couldn't wait to tell his mother that he was willing to accept the marriage and that he was eager to marry the girl from the Su family!
Although his mother felt bad about the large gift money at the time, she finally agreed to it in the face of his insistence.
He was filled with joy and embarked on the journey to become a police officer with peace of mind.
However, when he returned to the village again, he unexpectedly heard a heartbreaking news.
The girl from the Su family got engaged to the third son of the Jiang family, and the wedding banquet was held soon.
He was hit hard and felt terrible!
No, that’s not the case. It should be his.
Why, why would you marry into the Jiang family?
Under his questioning, his mother's eyes flickered and she hesitated, saying that she felt that the fifty yuan gift money was too high and wanted to bargain it down to thirty cents. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family directly offered fifty yuan, so...
He stared at his mother with wide eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with anger and pain.
"Mom, how could you do this!"
He roared, his voice filled with endless grief and anger.
He could not accept the fact that the woman he loved was betrothed to someone else just because of a difference of twenty dollars.
This was a huge blow to him, leaving him feeling helpless and hopeless.
He began to blame himself, thinking that if he had been more resolute at the time, if he had come back earlier, perhaps everything would have been different.
But now, it's too late. He has lost the person he loves and the meaning of life.
He was so lost in grief that he even forgot the world around him.
It was not until night fell that he slowly came to his senses, his eyes still filled with sadness and helplessness.
He didn't dare stay in the village, for fear of seeing or hearing the loving scenes and news between her and Jiang Yang.
As a result, his sister came to his uncle's house to find him and said that his mother knew she was wrong and tried to persuade him for a long time. His uncle also said the same thing and asked him to give his mother a chance to reform.
Finally, he went home.
Nothing happened as expected. This time, it turned out that his parents had teamed up to set up the trap!
Later, he woke up and it seemed that all his parents' wishful thinking had failed.
He was forced to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding banquet with a female educated youth whom he did not like.
At the banquet, he was looking forward to seeing him, but was also glad that he didn't see her...
Now, after not seeing her for many years, she is still as radiant and beautiful as ever.
But he was no longer qualified to get close to her...
"Wangjing, I heard from your dad that you passed the exam to become a temporary police officer?"
"Well, yes."
"That's great. You will definitely be a good police officer."
"Really?"
"Of course. Once you report to the Public Security Bureau and work hard, you'll definitely be able to become a regular officer and become a good police officer!"
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
"You're welcome."
......
Ye Aixia worked very hard, but no matter how hard she worked, she could not get praise from her mother-in-law.
But she didn't care.
She thought that after her husband became a regular employee, she would live with him in the town's police dormitory instead of living with her in-laws.
She did the work of scorekeeper before her husband became a regular employee.
In general, she didn't want to stay in a small mountain village and serve difficult parents-in-law!
It would be best if she was pregnant, a boy.
In this way, everything in the Jiang family belongs to her son!
Now that she has a son, she is a great contributor to the Jiang family, and the family will have to support her in the future. Otherwise, she will not be able to take care of her parents-in-law when they are old!
"Zhao Di, where's your Sisi? Why didn't you bring her out on such a busy day?"
"Oh, don't mention it. The child is getting married soon. I asked her to prepare her wedding clothes and shoes at home. Don't get married. It will bring shame to our Jiang family."
"Is that so? Is your family ready for the feast at the end of the month?"
"Oh, I haven't prepared anything yet, but it doesn't need to be too complicated. Just invite some friends and family for a meal."
"What's the point of a formal banquet? There's no need to hold a grand wedding banquet for a girl."
"But, after all, this is my daughter's lifelong event, so we still have to take it seriously."
"What's so important? Girls will get married eventually, and once a daughter is married, she's like spilled water. She's no longer a member of our Jiang family."
"Zhao Di, you can't say that. My daughter is also my own flesh and blood. She is my family no matter what."
"Humph, anyway, I think girls don't need to spend too much money and energy, as long as they can find a good husband."
"Zhao Di, your idea is wrong. Men and women are equal now, and girls should also be respected and treated equally."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I've already decided to just have a simple wedding banquet at the end of the month."
"You, hey, I hope you won't regret it later."
"What do I have to regret? My family in Wangjing is very promising."
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. Qin Zhaodi did not listen to the advice of other elderly people and insisted on dealing with the situation casually.
Is it really possible to raise children to provide for your old age?
Perhaps, we will get the answer soon.
Jiang An and Jiang Lai stood under the water for more than an hour. Someone else took over their job. They swam ashore, rested, and put on dry clothes.
"Puff~"
"The water's so cold, my feet are cramping."
"I told you to show off your abilities, and that's almost it."
"Isn't my eldest brother still here? I'm not afraid."
"Come on, it's a good thing your father taught you three brothers how to swim when he was alive, otherwise~"
"Mom, do you remember when we were little and the flood happened?"
"Of course I remember. It scared me to death."
"Mom, tell us, what happened to Brother Lei and the others when they were little?"
"Well, it's just that the boys were naughty and insisted on playing in the water. Then the three brothers, without telling us adults, came to the water to play, and then fell into the water..."
After getting their share of the things, Song Yue invited her family to go home and stop watching the fun.
Since her daughter-in-law wanted to listen, she told her sons some interesting stories when they were young.
