However, he admires Jiang Xue more now, as she is very similar to the modern women he has read about in his books.
When I was reading the book, I relied entirely on my imagination until recently when I saw Jiang Xue's unusual behavior, which seemed to confirm my impression of women in the new era.
Along the way, Ji Chen held Shao Meng blankly, and Jiang Xue also felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, but she did not want to get too close to Ji Chen.
Since we're currently in a cooperative relationship, there's absolutely no need for us to get too close.
"Oh my, isn't this Ji Chen? Taking his wife to town?" Grandma Li from the village had just returned from the fields, carrying a bag of freshly picked dates.
Ji Chen stood there, his face stiff, unsure how to answer Grandma Li.
"We went out together," Jiang Xue explained with a forced smile, though her tone remained polite.
Grandma Li's face immediately changed. "What are you saying? A husband and wife shouldn't be so distant in their daily life. They've been married for several years. It's not good to continue being so estranged."
Grandma Li took a handful of dates out of the bag and stuffed them into Jiang Xue's hand.
"Girl, having a child as soon as possible is the most important thing, otherwise you won't be able to hold onto a man's heart."
After Grandma Li finished speaking kindly, she didn't forget to pat Jiang Xue on the shoulder.
Jiang Xue stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth.
"You too, stop always wanting more than you have. Xiaotian is no good. The village secretary's son is paralyzed at home, and she avoids them like the plague." Grandma Li's face was full of disgust.
"A husband and wife are best when they are the original spouse, because they understand and care for you." She said this affectionately, put her hands behind her back, and left.
Ji Chen, standing rooted to the spot, displayed an incredibly rich array of expressions on his face.
The stagnation in the air lasted until the two arrived in the city.
However, things are progressing very smoothly.
Ji Chen arranged everything for Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue hadn't expected Ji Chen to be so efficient; the two of them had cleaned up the small five-square-meter shop spotlessly.
Ji Chen's friend Li Guoqing, along with two young men, helped carry the sewing machine into the shop.
One of the young men, a strong and muscular man, noticed Jiang Xue wiping the windows.
Jiang Xue has fair and delicate skin, a face that evokes pity, and she is wearing a simple light blue shirt. Her figure is curvaceous and shapely, making her look petite and beautiful.
The young man couldn't help but stare at Jiang Xue, who was wiping the glass, her movements becoming increasingly exaggerated...
Ji Chen frowned and stood in front of the young man, "What are you looking at?"
"Mind your own business." The young man immediately turned sour and angrily pushed Ji Chen away.
The young man ran up to another young man and said, "I didn't expect that the owner of the newly opened tailor shop would be so beautiful."
"It's a pity she got married so early, otherwise I'd be squatting here helping her with chores every day." The young man sighed and shook his head.
Another young man approached him and said, "I heard from Guoqing that she's getting a divorce."
The two young men immediately broke into lewd grins.
Standing behind them, Ji Chen, who heard everything clearly, clenched his fist and punched the young man in the face.
"What are you doing? You want to hit us after we've done the work for you?" The young man, his face swollen and red, lunged at Ji Chen with a ferocious expression, and the two quickly began to wrestle in the cramped shop.
Seeing this, Li Guoqing and Jiang Xue quickly ran over to break up the fight, saying, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Let's talk this out."
It took the two of them a great deal of effort to separate the two large men who were entangled together.
Ji Chen's face was badly slapped by the young man, and with a bruised and swollen face, he pointed at the young man and said, "Watch your mouth, you bastard."
"Am I wrong? You two were going to get a divorce anyway. Men and women can marry and not interfere with each other. What right do you have to hit me?"
