Chapter 44 Jiang Zhizhi has some doubts about her origins
Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to nod in agreement first, otherwise Yang Fengmei would keep brainwashing her.
Yang Fengmei was delighted to see Jiang Zhizhi agree: "A girl as outstanding as you should marry a good man. I was even thinking of having you marry my Dazhuang, but then I realized that my Dazhuang is not good enough for you."
Twenty-year-old Liang Dazhuang, who was listening nearby, was unhappy: "Mom, I'm not that bad."
However, he also knew that he was not good enough for Jiang Zhizhi, so he had no interest in her at all.
Yang Fengmei chuckled and mocked, "You think you're so great? Look at your underwear, it's practically worn out, and you don't even bother to wash it..."
Liang Dazhuang screamed, "Mom, why do you say everything? I'm going to work in the fields."
With that, she blushed and ran away in a flash.
Jiang Zhizhi laughed from the side: "Auntie, the child is all grown up, you should also give him some face."
Yang Fengmei laughed heartily: "It's alright, he'll only remember if he feels ashamed. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll be looking for a partner for him, and we're planning to get married at the end of the year. He's still so irresponsible every day."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise, "You haven't even gone on a blind date yet, and you're already planning to get married at the end of the year? What if you don't like the person you meet?"
Yang Fengmei waved her hand: "No, that's not true. She's a girl from the neighboring village. I asked around beforehand. She's a hardworking and good-natured girl, and she's pretty too. She has a round face and a big bottom. You can tell she's good at having sons."
Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated, but this was a characteristic of this era.
When looking for a partner, men need to be capable and reliable, and women need to be a little plump with a large bottom and able to bear sons. Other material conditions seem to be ignored.
...
Sun Xiaoyue has been getting angrier and angrier these past few days. She gave so much money and food coupons to Jiang Zhizhi, and she immediately became penniless. That industrial coupon was given to her by Jiang Zhenhua for self-defense when she came here.
Jiang Zhizhi's money and food coupons were taken by those two men, and she couldn't get them back no matter how hard she tried.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Even ruining Jiang Zhizhi wouldn't be enough to vent his anger!
This time, she's going to kill Jiang Zhizhi!
Jiang Donghua brought a bowl of sweet soup to Sun Xiaoyue. He saw Sun Xiaoyue's ferocious expression through the window, paused for a moment, and then knocked on the door: "Xiaoyue? I saw that you didn't eat dinner, so I made you some sweet soup."
Sun Xiaoyue rubbed her face, got up to open the door, and smiled at Jiang Donghua: "Thank you for your help. I just don't have an appetite. I don't know how to tell my parents what Jiang Zhizhi did here."
Upon hearing that it was about Jiang Zhizhi, Jiang Donghua instantly became furious: "Just tell the truth. I've never seen such a vicious and shameless woman. I think your parents should sever ties with her. Otherwise, she will tarnish your family's reputation in the future."
Sun Xiaoyue sighed: "My parents will definitely be reluctant to let her go. They have deep feelings for her, and because she is not their biological child, they treat her even better than they treat me."
Jiang Donghua was furious: "Your parents are really something, they can't even tell what's important. How can they treat their own daughter badly but be nice to an outsider? Xiaoyue, don't be too angry, at worst you can just ignore her from now on."
Sun Xiaoyue nodded in satisfaction. At least in this life, Jiang Donghua and Jiang Zhizhi would not have any interaction.
A vicious and audacious idea suddenly popped into my head.
...
Jiang Zhizhi and Yang Fengmei planned to eat breakfast and then ride Liang Dazhuang's tractor to the commune.
Just as they were having breakfast, Widow Ma rushed in, flustered: "Fengmei, do you have any brown sugar left? Liang Tian's wife next door is about to give birth, and she's feeling weak right now. Give her some brown sugar water so she'll have the strength to give birth."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fengmei quickly stood up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, wait for me to get it."
He ran into the house, took out a packet of brown sugar, and handed it to Widow Ma: "She was working in the fields yesterday, how come she suddenly gave birth today?"
Widow Ma, carrying brown sugar, said as she walked out, "I tripped and fell this morning, and it was a lotus-shaped baby, which is a bit troublesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out the door.
Yang Fengmei was extremely worried: "Oh my god, why is the baby breech? I hope nothing bad happens."
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "What does 'stepping on Lotus Flower' mean?"
Yang Fengmei sighed and explained, "Normally, the baby's head comes out first during childbirth, but now the baby's foot comes out first, which is very troublesome. We have to put the baby's foot back in and then turn the baby's position to give birth."
Jiang Zhizhi sensed something was wrong: "Then why didn't you take him to the hospital?"
Yang Fengmei exclaimed in surprise: "Why would you need to go to the hospital to give birth? The delivery skills in our village are better than those in hospitals. Why waste money going to the hospital? Besides, nobody goes to the hospital to give birth."
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the original owner's birth mother had switched the child with the Jiang family at the hospital.
But the original owner's birth mother's family was also from a rural mountain village, and it was the early days after liberation, the most difficult time. How could she bear to go to the hospital to give birth? And then she just happened to run into the Jiang family?
There's no such thing as a paternity test anymore. The Jiang family only accepted Sun Xiaoyue because Sun Xiaoyue looks a lot like Song Wanying!
Therefore, it's still uncertain whether Sun Xiaoyue is the Jiang family's biological daughter!
Unable to resist asking Yang Fengmei again, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? This is a difficult childbirth."
Yang Fengmei waved her hand: "It's alright. If even Widow Ma can't solve the problem, going to the hospital will be a waste of time. Besides, childbirth is a life-threatening experience for women; there's no need to go to the hospital."
Jiang Zhizhi disagreed, but remained silent; she couldn't convince people of their current mindset.
Yang Fengmei was worried for a moment, then urged Liang Dazhuang to eat quickly so he could go out.
With Yang Fengmei by her side, Jiang Zhizhi, at her suggestion, bought a piece of red cloth to make a cotton-padded jacket and a piece of black cloth to make cotton-padded trousers.
Jiang Zhizhi thought about it, and when she put on the black cotton-padded pants and red cotton-padded jacket, the sense of the era was instantly enhanced, and she looked as pretty as a red plum blossom in winter.
I can't help but laugh just thinking about it.
Yang Fengmei also tore off two pieces of cloth to make cotton-padded clothes for Liang Dazhuang and Old Man Liang: "These two go through too many clothes. If I make them a set for winter, they won't need to make any for two or three years."
After buying the items, I ran into Sun Xiaoyue, Jiang Donghua, Chen Shuangyan, and Li Simin, who had just come out of the post office.
Sun Xiaoyue smiled and said to the three of them, "Don't worry, I've already written to my dad, and he'll definitely take your matter to heart."
After saying that, he looked up and saw Jiang Zhizhi and Yang Fengmei standing at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative across the street.
Sun Xiaoyue's smile froze instantly. After thinking for a moment, she pretended not to see Jiang Zhizhi and turned to the three of them with a smile: "It's already noon. Shall I treat you to lunch at the state-run canteen?"
After saying that, he took Chen Shuangyan and Li Simin's arms and turned to walk towards the state-run canteen.
Jiang Donghua turned around and gave Jiang Zhizhi a disgusted look before following Sun Xiaoyue and the others away.
Yang Fengmei was very disgusted: "What the hell? Although there are good people in the educated youth settlement, there are also a lot of disgusting people like this. Look at that Sun Xiaoyue, her chin is practically in the sky."
