Chapter 13 Chapter 13 (Second update) Now it's getting lively, one...
Originally I thought it was none of my business, and as long as nothing happened it had nothing to do with her family.
But at this moment Xu Yingxia really couldn't sit still anymore.
She said that there is no such thing as a free lunch. She praised Cheng Jin for being so good, but she still gave up on him. Otherwise, she didn't believe that Jiang Qing would be so kind as to give him to her Shuangshuang.
"No, I have to go ask her!" Xu Yingxia stood up angrily. She didn't even have time to eat and went to the old house to cause trouble.
As a result, Jiang Shuangshuang pushed him down as soon as he stood up, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"How can I not be anxious?" Xu Yingxia blurted out, "This concerns your whole life... Forget it, forget it, a girl like you doesn't understand this kind of thing."
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't say whether she understood or not, she just thought it was a little funny, "It may not be what we think. In addition to Cheng Jin's incompetence, there is another possibility that Comrade Ma is so good in some aspect that she can ignore the bad points."
Xu Yingxia immediately shook her head, thinking that this was impossible. "I don't know if he is good or not, but given his family situation, nine out of ten women would not want to marry him."
Jiang Shuangshuang chuckled, "Isn't Jiang Qing the remaining one?"
"...Don't fool me." Xu Yingxia recalled the words her second sister-in-law shouted, "It's really bad, especially his mother. She said that every time when it's time to pay wages, his mother would wait at the factory gate. If Comrade Ma didn't hand it in, she would sit on the ground and cry that he was unfilial and asked his dead father to take him away with him."
Which girl would be willing to marry such a shameless mother-in-law?
Originally, the identity of mother-in-law puts pressure on the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law can only bear it. Otherwise, if things really get out of hand, the daughter-in-law will just say that the young people are ignorant and not considerate of the elderly.
The mother-in-law of the Ma family seems to be even more difficult to deal with than the old lady in my own family. Not everyone can handle her.
She was somewhat thankful, "Fortunately, we rejected it when Matchmaker Zhang brought it up. I feel suffocated just thinking about it."
"But no matter how bad it is, Jiang Qing likes it." Jiang Shuangshuang doesn't think her aunt is a love-minded person. The look in her eyes often reveals her scheming, and she will never do something unpleasant just for "love". "Since she likes it, there must be something she likes about it, but we just don't see it clearly."
Xu Yingxia pondered and felt that this made some sense.
"But no matter what, it's her own business." Jiang Shuangshuang handed her chopsticks over, "But we can go and see what's going on. Let's finish our meal and go to the old house."
In this era, there is no television and no entertainment.
It's such a rare and interesting thing, how could she be absent?
And it's really lively.
The neighbors living near the old house are now talking about the Jiang family.
When the mother-in-law almost hit her daughter-in-law to death, Jiang Sisao's scream was so loud that people who didn't know much would have thought someone was dead, especially when a person with a bloody face was carried out, looking no different from dead.
Someone almost went to the police station to report it.
After the Jiang family went to the hospital, the family was still talking about this incident in the compound. Some speculated that the Jiang family's second sister-in-law was having an affair, so she was smashed.
Some people even speculated that she had a miscarriage due to being hit by Old Lady Wang and would never be able to have children again.
Anyway, there were many different opinions, and while they were gossiping, the Jiang family members came back from the health hospital. They stood outside the door of the Jiang family, looking in curiously, but they all subconsciously kept silent, for fear that they would not be able to hear what was being said inside.
It turned out that they were wrong.
There was an outburst in the Jiang family's house. Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they were afraid that no one could hear them.
Moreover, the content of the shouting satisfied the curiosity of the people outside. They were reluctant to go back to the house to eat when it was time to eat. As time passed, the number of people watching the excitement increased instead of decreasing.
"Did I hear correctly? Jiang Qing found a partner for himself?"
"You heard me right, she wants to be a stepmother."
"This old lady Wang is too cruel. Why would she hit her daughter-in-law when her own daughter is ignorant?"
"So it wasn't Jiang Ersao who cheated on her husband? I heard from others that it was Jiang Ersao who cheated on her husband and was beaten by Old Lady Wang and had a miscarriage."
A female comrade was unhappy, "Don't say such nonsense. If it is passed around, the falsehood will be spread as true. How will Jiang Ersao live in the future?"
"The story about Jiang Ersao is false. The story about Jiang Qing was told by her own mouth."
Not only did Jiang Qing say it herself, she also said it on purpose.
She originally thought that she would finish the matter before telling her family, and by then she would not be able to stop it even if she wanted to.
But who knew that her second sister-in-law was so annoying and actually followed her, causing everyone in the family to know about Ma Jian's affairs, and no one was willing to support her.
Then let’s make a big fuss.
Everyone knew about it, and she couldn't marry anyone except Majian.
She knew that this would ruin her reputation, but she would never marry anyone other than Majian in her life!
Once this matter starts, there will be no end to it.
The Jiang family quarreled all night long. There were still people standing outside the house until late at night. There were even a lot of melon seed shells on the ground, and people were cracking them while watching the excitement.
Inside the house, Old Lady Wang had cried out countless times, "Do you want me to die before you are satisfied? You unfilial daughter, are forcing me to die!"
Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said nothing.
It's not that she didn't fight for it, but no matter what she said, her parents wouldn't agree. They even asked her to break up with Ma Jian and not see him again.
But what they didn't know was that Majian didn't want to have anything to do with her at all.
I don't know what went wrong, he just didn't like her.
He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Shuangshuang beside him, his heart full of unwillingness.
On what basis?
Can being pretty be enough to make a living? Jiang Shuangshuang has such a fierce personality, and I don’t know why Ma Jian likes her.
Jiang Shuangshuang looked back and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Aunt, why are you looking at me? Are you regretting pushing the Cheng family's affairs to me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are not allowed to look for Ma Jian anymore. The day after tomorrow you should go to Cheng Jin for a blind date!" Old Lady Wang was reminded, "How is he not better than Ma Jian? You are such a fool!"
"I don't want it!" Jiang Qing shouted, "I've told you, Comrade Ma Jian will definitely have a great career in the future. It doesn't matter if he has sons and daughters. As long as the children are filial, I will have a good life in the future..."
"Shut up!" Old Lady Wang was so angry that she felt dizzy. "Who knows what will happen in the future? If you still want me to be your mother, go find Cheng Jin!"
The mother and daughter were yelling at each other.
Jiang Shuangshuang lowered her eyes and remained silent again.
Very interesting.
At first she really thought that there was something wrong with Cheng Jin, which was why the mother and daughter pushed the things they didn't want to her.
But as it stands now, there is some deviation in the cognition of Old Lady Wang and Jiang Qing. One stands on Cheng Jin's side while the other stands on Ma Jian's side, and neither of them can convince the other.
“The days to come”?
These few words in Jiang Qing's words are worth further study.
Just like what Old Lady Wang said, why is Jiang Qing so sure that the future will be good?
This answer seemed to come out easily, but Jiang Shuangshuang didn't delve into it for the time being. Instead, she suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Grandma!"
Her action scared several people in the room.
How could I not be scared? With such a slap, a crack appeared on the tabletop. You can imagine how much force was used.
Even Old Lady Wang shrank her neck and couldn't help but recall what she had said before. She felt that she didn't seem to have provoked her.
"You have to understand that even if the Cheng family owes something, it is my father's life. You have been secretly asking for this and that from the Cheng family all these years. Since you are the elder, we can't pursue it, but!"
Jiang Shuangshuang paused and continued, "Even if I don't like this marriage, it's not something you can just ask Jiang Qing for. Do you understand?"
Xu Yingxia also had a gloomy face. "Mom, you were the one who asked Shuangshuang to go and see her, and now you're the one who took her back and gave her to Jiang Qing. Do you think my family is easy to bully, so you keep picking on my family?"
Without waiting for a response from the person inside, she turned around and opened the door.
The door was open, allowing the people outside to look in. She tilted her head and said, "Let's go, since we have already separated, they don't consider us family members, so don't come here again in the future."
Just like that, the mother and daughter left side by side, leaving the people in the yard whispering to each other.
"I was wondering why the name 'Cheng' sounded so familiar. It turns out that it was Brother Jiang who saved the man."
"Old Lady Wang is so confused. Even if the Cheng family returns the favor, it is to Jiang Huanhuan and Jiang Shuangshuang. What does it have to do with Jiang Qing?"
"Old Lady Wang actually asked the Cheng family for something? She is so shameless."
"As expected of a mother and daughter, each one is more confused than the other."
On the way back, the gloom on Xu Yingxia's face disappeared, and she whispered, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Jiang Shuangshuang replied, "You did this on purpose, too, didn't you?"
Xu Yingxia burst out laughing.
She said leisurely, "Ever since I knew your grandmother was trying to get money from the Cheng family, I've felt uneasy. It's good to say it now. Anyway, whoever gets the money will be the one to bear the blame."
So after guessing Shuangshuang's intention, she started to act accordingly.
The voices were particularly loud, and one might think that they were really angry. But in fact, they wanted the people outside who were joining in the fun to listen as well, so that they could be labeled as wronged first, so that if anything really happened in the future, it would not be blamed on them.
Finally, she heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Yingxia felt very happy and even joked, "But I thought you would rely on your fists."
The lady's fists are really powerful.
Every one of them is convinced.
"Why use fists when you can do it with mouths?" Jiang Shuangshuang is not a real reckless man. There are so many people outside. If he really uses fists, even if he is right, he will become unreasonable.
She put her hands behind her head and said, "I'm very happy tonight. I'll stew a big hen tomorrow!"
Xu Yingxia was surprised. "You are so capable, you can even get a big hen?"
"Sure, sure."
Jiang Shuangshuang was full of anticipation and slept particularly soundly that night without any dreams. When it was dawn, Jiang Xiaozhou had already prepared breakfast for her. The hot white rice porridge was paired with some spicy side dishes. This life was indeed quite comfortable.
Especially in the afternoon, Auntie Xu came into her house carrying a vegetable basket, lifted the hay on top, and found a big hen stuffed underneath. "You can keep this hen to lay eggs, but Auntie has to tell you in advance that this hen is not very good at laying eggs. It only lays one egg every two or three days."
If it weren't for this reason, my mother's family would never sell the hen no matter how reluctant they were. It is better to have it lay eggs every day than to buy and sell them all.
Jiang Shuangshuang nodded, "Okay, I'll take the hen first, and I'll bring the cotton to you later."
It doesn’t matter whether it lays eggs or not, as long as it is fat enough.
"No hurry, no hurry." Aunt Xu smiled brightly.
We are neighbors living in the same big house, how could he not trust her?
But she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "I knew someone must be fishing in the yard. Your mother wanted to hide it from me. I could smell it right away."
The smell of fish in the yard is a little lighter.
But once I entered the house, the smell became stronger. "It's good to separate the family. Life will be much better for you and your mother after this separation."
There were both cotton and fish, and she felt a little envious when she saw them.
And judging from the strong fish aroma, there must be quite a lot.
"Auntie, if you like it, I'll get you half a fish." Jiang Shuangshuang called to the inner room, and soon Jiang Xiaozhou came out carrying half a dried fish.
He had carefully selected these.
I chose the smallest and thinnest half so that I wouldn’t feel bad about giving it away.
Jiang Shuangshuang seemed not to notice and directly stuffed the dried fish into Aunt Xu's basket.
Aunt Xu was surprised by her generosity. "That's unacceptable. I saw one at the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday and it only cost a small amount of money."
"Take it, Auntie. I just need your help with something." Jiang Shuangshuang was not giving it away for free. She just wanted to ask her for help. "I saw a chicken coop built in the open space in front of Grandma Zhou's house. I thought about building a chicken coop like her and raising two laying hens."
If conditions permit, people naturally want to improve the quality of life.
Now she can't eat meat every day, but she can raise two hens to lay eggs.
The street office has said that it is okay for families to raise chickens, but the number of chickens a family can have cannot exceed two, and they must be raised in cages. The large house must not be made dirty and messy.
She continued, "Auntie, can you help me find two easy-to-raise hens? I'll trade them for the three fish."
Aunt Xu pondered it in her mind for a while.
The price was reasonable, and she could get half a dried fish as errand fee. What a good deal!
But she still said in advance, "I will definitely pick the best one for you when I go to pick it, but I can't guarantee that it will lay eggs every day after it grows up."
Jiang Shuangshuang also replied happily, "If it really can't lay eggs every day, it's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame us for not being able to raise them."
Aunt Xu smiled too. She didn't expect that chatting with Shuangshuang would be so interesting.
After talking about the matter, it was time to leave, but she didn't move. Instead, her eyes were gleaming with gossip. "The news about your grandmother's family yesterday has reached us. I tell you, there are some things you should never give in on. Once you give in, it will be a lifelong matter!"
…
Jiang Nannan thinks so too.
Some things must be fought for!
If she doesn't fight, she will lose everything and will be destined to live a life of poverty without any hope.
There was a lot of noise at home last night.
She didn't say a word.
She just watched helplessly as her aunt fought for her, making a fuss about it and insisting on her own ideas. Every word her aunt screamed out seemed to be dictating what was in her heart.
As if she was afraid that she would hesitate, she rushed into the house when it was time for dinner and said to the person who was secretly smoking inside, "Dad, can you open the cupboard? I want to get some sorghum flour from it."
Brother Jiang was startled by her.
He thought it was his wife who came in. The wife couldn't stand him smoking a pipe. Every time she saw him, she would quarrel with him. Sometimes she would twist his waist until it was bruised. "You scared me enough, girl. I gave you all the food today. Why are you asking me for it?"
Jiang Nannan replied, "Isn't Mom still living in the hospital? I thought of baking a few cakes for her so that she wouldn't go hungry in the hospital."
Second Brother Jiang almost forgot that his wife was still in the hospital and had not come back yet. It would be fine if she stayed for a few more days. His father had said that they would be responsible for all the expenses in the hospital. Who wouldn't be happy to let her stay there for free?
He took a puff of cigarette smoke, took out the key and threw it to me, "Don't take out too much. You have to eat the food quickly."
Jiang Nannan nodded.
But after opening the cupboard, he secretly took out two bowls of sorghum noodles while his father wasn't paying attention.
When she went out, the stove was already hot.
She rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
She had received almost no compliments since she was a child.
The only thing that everyone praised was that the pancakes were particularly crispy.
Especially grandma, no matter what work she did, she would complain about this and that. Only pancakes would make her nod with satisfaction, but even if she was satisfied, she wouldn't get a single compliment.
But grandma forgot...
Or maybe grandma never remembered it.
The reason why she has such a good skill is that when she was a child, when the pigeon market was still there, her grandmother took her to collect pigeons, but they were trapped there during a rainstorm and had no way to go back.
The two grandparents were hungry from early morning till afternoon. They were so hungry that they were shaking all over, but they were reluctant to spend money to buy a cake.
I could only look at the pancake stall next to me and try to quench my thirst.
At that time, my grandmother said that if she could have a bite of it, her life would be worth it.
Jiang Nannan kept these words in mind.
She had no money to buy food for her grandmother, so she thought about learning it herself.
I stared at the pancake stall for several hours without blinking, and after trying it a few times at home, I found it didn't taste good, so I shamelessly asked the stall to make it better.
The owner was not happy about it but she stayed around and helped with this and that without saying a word. The stall owner felt reluctant to kick her out seeing her helping him, but he did not tell her the method of making pancakes.
Jiang Nannan learned this trick secretly.
But it seems to be useless after learning it.
Even if you bake more delicious cakes than others, you won’t get any attention and love from your family.
Sometimes I think it would be better if she didn't learn it, because if she did, she would realize that no matter how outstanding she was, her grandparents, her parents, would not look at her differently, nor would they favor her any more.
But now she doesn't have such idea.
While making the pancakes, Jiang Nannan even felt fortunate that she had such a good cooking skill.
It is also the only thing she can show off.
There are five cookies in total.
It's hot and the aroma is fragrant.
It feels particularly crispy when you hold it in your hand.
She couldn't wait to put the biscuits into the fried dough buns and walked out without even saying hello to her family.
I ran out of the family compound, feeling anxious and nervous, but still walked towards the train station with great determination.
There are several guest houses around the railway station.
Jiang Nannan found the place she was looking for without much effort. She took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to walk in.
He said to the person inside, "Hello, comrade. I, huhu, I want to find someone."
Even though she was firm, she still couldn't hide her nervousness.
Even speaking was a little trembling.
The comrades at the guesthouse looked at her strangely, "Who are you looking for? Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"Is there a comrade named Cheng Jin staying here today? I'm his family member, and I'm bringing him some food." Jiang Nannan was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so she showed her the oil bag in her hand, "Please help me tell him... just say that Xiao Jiang is here."
The comrade at the guesthouse hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Okay, wait outside and I'll go up and tell him."
"Thank you, thank you!" Jiang Nannan thanked repeatedly.
I walked to the door and waited nervously, so nervous that it was difficult for me to breathe.
She had no idea what the consequences of doing this would be.
But she knew that if she didn't give it a try, her fate would be either to go to the countryside or to marry a man with a physical disability or older than her father.
There are so many people in the family but no one cares about her.
So she can only fight for herself!
"Hello, are you Comrade Jiang?"
A steady male voice came from behind. Startled, Jiang Nannan turned around abruptly. When she saw the man in military uniform in front of her, she quickly lowered her eyelids, "Yes, it's me."
Cheng Jin wasn't much better off.
When I saw the lesbian in front of me clearly, my ears were already hot and red. "Hello."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at her again.
When he was young, he heard his father mention the Jiang family.
At first, he was extremely grateful, and would tell him every time he mentioned it, saying that he must remember the kindness of the Jiang family. If it weren't for the savior who saved his life, his family would have been completely ruined.
But as time goes by.
Dad stopped mentioning the matter frequently, and even when he did, he couldn't help sighing. Later, after a quarrel between his parents, he found out that the Jiang family had been sending letters to ask for things.
When you have less, ask for some old things, old clothes and old shoes.
Later, he started asking for money and tickets, ten or eight yuan at a time. As he did it more and more often, his appetite grew bigger. That time, he said something happened at home and asked for a hundred yuan. My parents also quarreled about this matter.
When he goes to the army.
Dad once told him secretly that when he got old enough, he wanted him to meet the daughter of his savior, and if they were a good match, they could get married.
In fact, Cheng Jin was not happy at first.
He was very grateful to Uncle Jiang for saving his father's life.
However, he was very unhappy with the temper of the Jiang family. However, his father also said that he would just take a look and if it was really inappropriate, he would not continue the conversation.
So he came.
I didn't have much hope when I came here.
But now, seeing the daughter of the Jiang family in front of him, he couldn't help but blushing.
He scratched his head and blushed, "Why are you here so soon? I... I just arrived and haven't had time to clean up properly."
After sitting on the train for several days in a row, I have become a dried pickled vegetable. I feel like I have been pickled all over.
He felt embarrassed. "I just saw you arrive, so I thought I'd bring you something to eat." Jiang Nannan blushed and shyly handed the oil bag over. "This is the pancake I made. It's still hot. If you're hungry, eat it quickly."
"Yeah, OK!" Cheng Jin agreed crisply and took a bite. "It smells so good. This cake is really delicious."
Jiang Nannan smiled softly, "As long as you like it."
Cheng Jin was indeed hungry.
There was no good food to be had on the train. We had just settled down after getting off the train and had no time to find a place to eat.
These five cakes were just enough to fill his stomach.
My favorable impression of Comrade Jiang in front of me has greatly increased.
Jiang Nannan saw that he had finished eating, so she said, "Then you should take a good rest, and we will meet again tomorrow."
"Okay! Okay!" Cheng Jin looked at her and smiled foolishly.
He thought Uncle Jiang's daughter was really nice, so he decided to spend a few days with her to give it a try. If she was a good match, he would send a telegram home to finalize the matter. "Then see you tomorrow!"
Jiang Nannan nodded.
Just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "Can we change the time tomorrow? Meet at the intersection of the park two hours in advance. There is a lake there and we can walk around the lake."
"Sure, of course!" Cheng Jin was eager to spend more time with them.
Just like that, the two said goodbye to each other without saying anything.
Cheng Jin stood at the door and watched the figure leave. It took him a long time to come to his senses. When he walked into the guesthouse, the comrade inside asked with a smile, "Young comrade, are you from the army? Are you here for a blind date?"
Cheng Jin was not shy this time, he grinned and nodded.
"Not bad, not bad, a talented man and a beautiful woman." The comrade at the guesthouse praised, "They even came over to bring you a meal, which is very thoughtful."
Cheng Jin thinks so too.
I am looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
…
Jiang Shuangshuang had no idea that she was about to be pried into the corner again.
If you knew, you would definitely applaud and sigh in admiration. They managed to make a simple blind date so special.
She is wandering around the department store now.
With Xu Ma backing you up, you can buy as much as you want.
You don’t even have to empty your own pocket, and you don’t feel bad at all.
Of course, not everything can be bought. The bicycle she has been eyeing for a long time is absolutely out of the question.
I did buy two new sets of clothes, a white coat with dark trousers, and a cardigan of the same color as the trousers.
"Isn't pink florals much prettier than this?" Xu Yingxia took the opportunity to retort, but her words came out a little bit insincerely. This outfit looks very lively and energetic on a lady!
But she just didn't want to exaggerate.
Who told this girl to say that the floral fabric she had managed to snatch was ugly?
"As long as I like it." Jiang Shuangshuang, wearing new clothes, turned around on the spot.
Her first standard is herself. Satisfying her own preferences is the most important thing to her, even her own mother comes second.
After all, she is a filial daughter certified by her own mother.
"Okay, as long as you like it." Xu Yingxia took the clothes off her body, "Go take them off and wash them. The sun is strong today, so it's a good time to dry them off before you go to meet someone tomorrow."
She repeated once more, "If we see someone who is not good enough, we should immediately refuse him/her and send him/her away politely."
"Okay." Jiang Shuangshuang changed her clothes and sent someone out, "Jiang Xiaozhou!"
"I'm here!" Jiang Xiaozhou, who was playing outside, ran back and saw the washbasin in his second sister's hands. He knew why she called him without asking.
He took it without saying a word and carried it to the well.
It was quite surprising once or twice, but after seeing it so many times, Xu Yingxia got used to it. She continued, "After sending the people away tomorrow, I will go to the factory to report and try to give you the position before next week. Oh, and let the Youth League Office know too, so they don't come to urge us anymore."
Then, Xu Yingxia talked about her work.
She is a statistician in Workshop No. 2, a job that is much easier than being an assembly line worker in the workshop. When she was selected as a candidate, she was very competitive. It is really thanks to the father of the child that she was able to stand out from a group of outstanding workers.
"I have already informed the director. Although you can only get a temporary wage, you still have to do my work. If you are careful, you won't make mistakes. If you are not sure, ask Xiao Xu, or come back and ask me."
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't interrupt her and pretended to be listening attentively.
After all, in just one or two years, she worked in a textile factory.
As for tomorrow's blind date.
Neither she nor Xu's mother had any hope.
"If you work hard for a year and don't make any big mistakes, your name will definitely be on the list of permanent employees next year." Xu Yingxia counted on her fingers, "By then your salary should be able to rise to the early twenties, and I can also earn some money by doing some manual work at home, so my life will definitely not be worse than before."
With a beautiful vision for the future, this day passed in an ordinary way.
The next day, Xu Yingxia took a day off and did not go to work. Originally, the four of them had planned to go to the southern pavilion in the small park together, but after Xu Yingxia had just spoken harshly, how could she be willing to get involved with the old house again?
So at ten minutes past nine, I decided to leave the old lady behind and take Shuangshuang with me.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late.
Just as she was about to leave, her fourth brother's youngest daughter, Jiang Yaoyao, ran over with a terrified look on her face, "Auntie, go and have a look! Grandma is threatening to hang herself!"
"What?!"
"My uncle and his family all went to work, and there was no one to help at home. Grandma found a rope from somewhere and hung it on the door, saying that she wanted to hang herself..." Jiang Yaoyao was so anxious that tears came down. She choked and said, "Even Sister Nan Nan is not at home. I really don't know who to look for."
“……”Xu Yingxia rubbed her forehead.
What is this old lady up to?
She asked helplessly, "Is it about your aunt again? Where is Jiang Qingren? Isn't she at home?"
"She...my aunt...she was the first one to say she wanted to hang herself." Jiang Yaoyao's eyes turned red, and she was at a loss. There was a quarrel at home first, and she didn't know how it started, but her aunt said she would hang herself if she was not allowed to get married. Then her grandmother took out a rope from somewhere and scolded her, saying she would hang herself if she dared to get married.
"..."Xu Yingxia looked up at the sky helplessly.
Now things got lively, with two people from the family vying to hang themselves.
You don't have to think about it to know that it won't be real.
But this matter was not something she could just ignore, unlike a quarrel, especially since the young man had come to her place. After hesitating for a moment, she turned her head and said to the young lady, "You go to the park first. I'll go to the old house and take a look. I'll come over after we're done."
"Don't rush to come. You might not finish your work here yet and I will send them away." Jiang Shuangshuang really wanted to come back as soon as possible. There were two mother and daughter hanging in front of the door. This scene was not something you would see often.
"Let's talk about it later." Just like that, Xu Yingxia had to take Jiang Yaoyao to the old house.
Jiang Shuangshuang went to the south pavilion of the small park alone.
She seldom comes to this place.
Several family compounds surround the small park. There were no entertainment activities in those days, so people would come here to wander around when they had nothing to do, watch people play chess by the lake, and so on.
In particular, there are many couples who walk around the lake shoulder to shoulder, circle after circle, without feeling tired at all.
