Chapter 16 Chapter 16 (revised) Cheng Jin is no worse than Cheng Jin...
At this moment Director Wei was really deflated.
He didn't even have the energy to stop her. If one had to say something, one could only say that his niece was just a little bit unlucky.
As luck would have it, I got lost.
Due to some strange mistake, I gave away such a good opportunity to someone else.
But think about it from another angle, Cheng Jin and that female comrade must have some kind of fate, otherwise how could they meet by such a coincidence?
Director Wei couldn't help but think of his youth, and slowly spoke, "Your Aunt Duan and I were born out of misfortune. At the time, I was hungry and cold, and I thought I would just stay single to avoid being a burden to my female comrades. I never thought..."
A girl was saved by accident.
We fell in love with each other right away.
That's why he kept saying that no matter whether you want to or not, you still have to meet the person first. What if you really fall in love with each other?
"There is a real difference between being married and not being married. I thought at the time, if I really wanted to marry your Aunt Duan, I couldn't let her go hungry with me, right? I happened to have the opportunity to join the army. The first few years were really hard. It's not that I had a hard time, but your Aunt Duan. I was just a small soldier at the time, and I didn't even have the qualifications for my family to accompany the army. She stayed in my hometown to support my parents and educate my children. She also had to take care of the whole family when she was sick..."
Even though he is the highest-ranking leader in the entire Public Security Bureau, once he starts to get old, he will never stop.
For him, home is a harbor and a source of struggle.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought his way from a small soldier with no background to a big leader in the bureau. Not to mention the hardships and dangers during the process, but he felt it was worth it.
The old leader kept talking, and Cheng Jin listened carefully, thinking that he could put what he learned into practice.
And by comparison, he also doesn't want the people around him to suffer with him.
Fortunately, his starting point is higher than that of his leader. If the other party is willing, he can apply for a report to accompany the army now. Moreover, when he is promoted to a higher level this year, he can also apply for a good independent house in the family compound.
Of course, the premise of all this is whether the other party is willing.
Oh, and his savings.
After marriage, one must ensure that the other party has no worries about food and clothing, hand over all savings and wages, and be determined to greatly improve the other party's living conditions.
He doesn't care, as long as he has two meals a day.
If you really find it inconvenient to cook, you can eat in the cafeteria, or wait until he is on vacation and let him cook.
Cheng Jin thought that he couldn't figure this all out by himself.
After they get along a few more times, he can carefully give the other party a guarantee!
"Ahem." Director Wei coughed. He didn't know why he became dazed while listening, so all his words were in vain. "I'm saying this to tell you that marriage is a major event in life. No matter who the other person is, you have to think carefully before making a decision. Otherwise... it will not only affect your life, but also your career."
"I see."
"I understand." Director Wei cleared his throat again and asked the most crucial question, "So who is that female comrade?"
…
At the textile factory, Xu Yingxia was also making preparations.
She works as a statistician in the second workshop in the factory. Although she does not have to work on the production line, her small office is next to the workshop to facilitate statistics on production quantities.
It is a small office and it is really small, only about 7 or 8 square meters, with a lot of miscellaneous things piled up in the front and back.
That’s not all. There are four workers squeezed in, two statisticians and two quality inspectors.
When working in a small house, you naturally have to maintain good relationships, otherwise it would be very annoying if some small things happen from time to time.
Fortunately, Xu Yingxia had a good temper and was never competitive. Even when she had some disputes with other workers, she would always speak kindly and try to appease them.
So when she suggested that her children would take over and asked them to take good care of the business, they all patted their chests and agreed.
"Do I need you to tell me this? We are no strangers to Shuangshuang. You brought her to work in the factory when she was a child."
"It's just that she's rarely seen in recent years. But she is Lao Jiang's daughter after all. I heard that she even helped the police catch thieves?"
"Really? That's a good thing. From now on, our workshop 2 won't have to worry about those petty thieves anymore."
After saying this, the atmosphere became a little strange.
It’s not that there are thieves in their workshop, but there are definitely some people who secretly take scraps of cloth and materials home. Even the security department’s strict precautions cannot prevent them.
I can just stuff these little things into my underwear. The security department won't search me directly, right?
This led to a chain reaction where I saw him taking it and then I secretly took it too.
Inevitably, a few people present felt uncomfortable.
"She's not here to work as a security guard in the security department, so why would she care about these things?" Xu Yingxia added quickly, "We already have a lot of work to do, and we don't have time to keep an eye on other people. But she's young and just joined the factory, so you seniors need to take good care of her."
"That's right, don't worry."
"We have known each other for more than ten years. I will definitely help look after it."
The atmosphere has become better. It's not a big deal. Who wouldn't want to do good things?
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter Jiang Shuangshuang's education or her background, as long as she doesn't make any big mistakes, she will definitely be promoted quickly. But who knows who will be the one taking care of whom in the future?
But sometimes, some annoying people appear.
The man who just said "petty theft" snorted and said, "If you ask me, you should send her to the countryside. Your family will lose most of their wages after she takes over. Only you are willing to do that. If it were me..."
"If it were you, your eldest daughter would have been married off early in exchange for the bride price, and your second daughter has been wasting her time until now, working like a slave at home to serve the whole family. The girls who were born into your family are all more miserable than the other."
"you!!"
"What do you mean 'me'? Did I say something wrong?" Xu Yingxia put her hands on her hips and glared at him, as if she would tear his mouth apart if he dared to speak.
If it was in the past, it would be fine. With more people in a workshop, it is better to have less trouble than more.
But she couldn't retreat now. If she did, these people would think she was an easy girl to bully.
"I'm too lazy to tell you." The man muttered, "Just wait, a dozen dollars a month, I wonder how you can live..."
"Where did these flies come from? They're buzzing and annoying me."
"..." The man finally shut up.
Xu Yingxia held her head high as if she had won a battle. She thought that she must give the girl some instructions when she returned.
If you really want to be bullied, don't endure it.
It doesn't matter whether you go to the leader to complain or go to her as a parent. The more you endure, the more you will be bullied. It's really not okay... It's okay to rely on fists. After all, it's others who get hurt instead of yourself.
"Xu Yingxia." A man in security uniform came into the workshop and shouted, "Your daughter is here to see you. She's waiting at the factory gate."
"Shuangshuang is here?" Xu Yingxia looked surprised. She said hello to the people next to her and walked out.
In the past, Shuangshuang and Xiaozhou seldom came to the factory. If there was nothing important, they would definitely not come at this time.
On the way to the factory gate, she couldn't help but wonder if something had happened in the old house again?
That family is really struggling.
As soon as she arrived at the factory gate, she saw a familiar figure standing there. Xu Yingxia hurried over and said, "Why don't you stand to the side to avoid the wind? The wind is so strong here."
"Liangliangxin." Jiang Shuangshuang stood here deliberately.
I'm afraid that the enthusiasm in my heart will make her too excited.
Xu Yingxia didn't know what to say to her, "Why are you here? Is there a commotion in the old house again? Let them commotion as they please."
"No." Jiang Shuangshuang didn't wait for her to continue guessing and took out the letter of introduction from her pocket, "Take a look!"
Before Xu Yingxia read what was written on the paper, she saw the girl holding her head high with pride. To be honest, it was like the peacock she had seen a long time ago, with its chin held high.
“Look at how proud you are…Ah! Ahhh!!”
After seeing only two items, Xu Yingxia couldn't help but scream, each scream getting louder and louder. The gatekeeper was so frightened that he looked over and asked worriedly, "Comrade Xu, are you okay?"
"Master Huang, my daughter has a job now!" Xu Yingxia jumped up excitedly, "It's stamped, it's really stamped, she works in the street office, my precious daughter, how come you are so successful!"
I couldn't take my eyes off the letter of introduction. Even though I had already scanned it several times, I couldn't help but read it again from beginning to end. Before I knew it, tears were flowing out.
I feel happy but also a little guilty.
Although she was unable to give the child to him as a mother, she managed to bring the child back through her own efforts.
"I guessed it would be like this." Jiang Shuangshuang handed over the handkerchief she had prepared in advance, "Wipe it off, but don't get it all over your face."
"I'm so happy!" Xu Yingxia choked up twice, "Baby, is your job at the police station or the street office?"
Jiang Shuangshuang couldn't help but shiver when she heard the title.
When he is displeased he calls her "girl", when he is happy he calls her "shuangshuang", and when he is angry he calls her by her full name.
And this time, he even called me "baby" in a corny way. It seemed that he was really happy.
"The unit is under the police station and is on duty at the street office." Jiang Shuangshuang explained the source and nature of the job in detail, and then pointed out the key points, "It is a formal employee directly, with a salary of level 28, which is 31.5 yuan a month."
"So high?!" Xu Yingxia was stunned.
Even a temporary worker would be very surprised, let alone being directly converted to a regular employee and receiving a salary of level 28.
She quickly folded up the letter of introduction carefully, wiped her face and said, "Wait for me here, I'll ask for leave, and we'll go to the state-owned hotel for lunch!"
Such a big happy event must be celebrated properly.
She gritted her teeth and ordered the big dishes that she had been reluctant to eat before.
"No." Jiang Shuangshuang declined, "I have an appointment at noon."
"Who did you make an appointment with?" Xu Yingxia looked strange. "Such a big happy event, shouldn't you celebrate with your family?"
Jiang Shuangshuang was speechless. What Xu's mother said made a lot of sense.
For such a happy event, shouldn’t the whole family celebrate together?
But she really didn't think so much when she made the invitation. She didn't even think about it and blurted it out.
Seeing that Xu's mother was still about to ask more questions, she quickly said, "There's no rush to get together at noon. We can also get together in the evening. You can go home and eat with Xiaozhou at noon. I'll ask him to prepare braised pork for you!"
After saying that, he wanted to run away.
But Xu Yingxia grabbed her elbow and said, "I'll take the introduction letter back to you. Don't be so careless and lose it."
With the introduction letter in hand, Xu Yingxia ignored her and went back to the factory. When she passed the guardhouse, she shouted, "Mr. Huang, you are making a fool of yourself. My daughter has found a job at the Public Security Bureau. She just started to shout..."
Anyone can hear the meaning of showing off in these words.
Not only that, Xu Yingxia showed off all the way to the workshop, and she wanted to yell into the ear of the man just now that she was a promising lady!
Not only will the family income not decrease, it can even increase by thirty dollars!
Jiang Shuangshuang was also heading home at this time, but unfortunately it was still a little late and she didn't get to buy any fresh pork.
Gancui gave Jiang Xiaozhou the pork invoice and five yuan.
Jiang Xiaozhou looked at the receipt stuffed in his hand and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "Sister, is this a reward for my good performance recently?"
Jiang Shuangshuang laughed, "You're just dreaming."
But his performance is pretty good. Although some of the work he does is not detailed enough, at least he is willing to do it. He does need some encouragement to make him make further progress. "At noon, go to the state-owned restaurant and bring two bowls of rice and a bowl of braised pork. Heat them on the stove when you bring them back. When mom comes back, you can eat them together with her. The remaining change will be your reward."
"Braised pork! Rice!" Jiang Xiaozhou was so surprised that his eyes were full of stars.
He even forgot when was the last time he had braised pork.
I just had braised fish not long ago, but how can fish be compared with meat? !
"Slurp...Slurp, don't worry, sister. I promise to complete the task!" Jiang Xiaozhou promised quickly.
"Yeah." Jiang Shuangshuang was about to go back to the house, but suddenly turned around and reminded, "Come back before eleven o'clock. If you are not home by eleven o'clock, you will not be able to have a share of the dinner tonight."
Eleven o'clock was the time she and Comrade Cheng agreed to meet.
It would be embarrassing if I met Jiang Xiaozhou in the state-owned hotel.
"There's a big dinner tonight!" Jiang Xiaozhou felt so lucky. He had braised pork with rice for lunch, and there was even a big dinner tonight!
If he had known that life would be so good after the separation, he would have made a fuss about the separation a long time ago.
If he doesn't split up the family, he will hang himself. My mother and elder sister will definitely feel sorry for him and will definitely agree!
Jiang Shuangshuang ignored the angry boy.
I went back to the house and planned to rest for a while.
As a result, as soon as she entered the room, she saw the cabinet was piled with things. She shouted, "Jiang Xiaozhou, where did this come from?"
Jiang Xiaozhou didn't dare to go in. He leaned against the wall and poked his head out. "This is a thank-you gift from Mr. Liu. Sister, did you go to catch human traffickers yesterday? You are so awesome. Can you take me with you next time?"
“So many?” Jiang Shuangshuang flipped through it.
Two cans of food, two bottles of maltose, two sticks of bacon and a whole bag of candy.
"I didn't dare to accept it at first, but Grandma Liu and Aunt Liu squeezed in, put the things down and left." Jiang Xiaozhou was afraid that they would blame him, so he quickly distanced himself from them.
Of course...
I didn't use any strength when I was holding it, I was just pretending.
If he kept so many good things out, he wouldn't be able to sleep for a week.
"Forget it." Jiang Shuangshuang thought about it and decided not to refuse.
She didn't like pushing things around. If the Liu family dragged Xiao Maoer to kneel down in front of her again, her scalp would go numb at the thought. "Go buy some things for me at the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon."
Make some more bait for Master Liu, and consider it a gift to him.
Jiang Xiaozhou went out very early.
When the state-owned hotel opened, he was already waiting at the door. As soon as the door opened, he was the first one to rush in and shouted for braised pork and rice.
The braised pork tastes amazing.
Every time he passed by the door of the state-owned hotel in the past, he would smell the delicious food, and this time he could finally taste it himself!
Jiang Xiaozhou held the prepared rice in his arms again, and only managed to resist secretly eating a single bite, then ran towards home with the rice in his arms.
When passing by the old house, he clearly heard his grandmother calling his name, but he did not stop but ran even faster.
In the past, grandma always secretly took my cousins to eat alone. When she was caught, she would say that his family was well-off and they should give in to my brother.
But it's not like he doesn't understand at all.
My mother has handed over all her wages, so how could the conditions be any better?
Besides, even if he doesn't understand these things, can't he understand what the family eats every day?
Anyway, he just holds a grudge.
If his grandmother doesn't take him to eat alone, he won't take his grandmother to eat alone either. He won't let anyone have his share of the bowl of braised pork!
"You bastard, you really don't treat me as your grandmother? Xiaozhou, Jiang Xiaozhou!"
The voices behind him gradually disappeared. Jiang Xiaozhou ran out of breath but didn't stop. However, when he met a figure in front of him, he suddenly stopped and said, "Sister, you really don't plan to eat at home? The braised pork in the state-owned restaurant is so delicious!"
"Then eat more." Jiang Shuangshuang was not hungry at all.
Because she can eat it later.
She didn't continue to argue with him, but urged him: "Hurry up and go back to Wenshang, and don't eat secretly before mom comes back."
"I definitely won't cheat!" Jiang Xiaozhou quickly assured.
He would never eat the braised pork secretly. At most, he would use chopsticks to dip it in the gravy and sip it.
The two siblings didn't say anything on the street and went their separate ways, one on the left and the other on the right.
When passing by the old house, Old Lady Wang also saw Jiang Shuangshuang, but she didn't greet her like she greeted her grandson.
Instead, he just turned his head away and pretended not to notice.
The old lady avoided her, but Jiang Shuangshuang didn't take the initiative to pay attention to her. She just walked forward without even stopping.
She came earlier.
Or you can go in and see what dishes are available and prepare them in advance.
But what I didn't expect was that Comrade Cheng was already waiting at the door.
Jiang Shuangshuang quickened her pace, stood in front of him, waved her hand, and chuckled: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I just arrived a while ago too."
Comrade Cheng replied that this was the case, but when the two of them went in, they had already reserved a table in advance and even ordered several dishes in advance. "The dishes here are all in portions. I was worried that they would all be sold out, so I ordered some in advance. Do you think there is anything else you need to add?"
Braised pork, chicken braised with chestnuts, pork with fragrant rice wine, cauliflower with mushrooms, and a vegetable soup.
Everything you want to eat is on this table.
Jiang Shuangshuang said: "Is it too much? Or are you a big eater?"
Cheng Jin was slightly stunned, and then explained seriously: "I eat a lot but I am not picky. I can eat anything."
He then pointed to the lunch box next to him and said, "The portions in the store are large, so I thought I could portion some out in advance and bring it back for your family to try."
Four dishes and one soup for two people is indeed too much.
But one or two dishes were too monotonous, so he thought of packing some of them up so that she could taste more dishes and her family could also taste them together.
Jiang Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows.
This is definitely the son-in-law that Xu's mother likes.
Generous and thoughtful, everything is arranged in great detail.
It seems that she likes this arrangement very much.
You don't have to worry about it, just eat it with your mind full.
She watched silently as Comrade Cheng in front of her divided the four dishes into two lunch boxes, then took out a pair of chopsticks, wiped them, and carefully handed them over with both hands.
Jiang Shuangshuang really couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Cheng Jin's ears felt hot again because of her smile, and his handsome face looked a little uncomfortable. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shuangshuang shook his head, leaned forward a little, put one hand to his mouth and whispered, "I find it quite pleasing to see the hand holding the gun do these things."
It just doesn't look like it's done often.
It's very rigid and stiff, but I don't think it's funny, instead it's quite interesting.
“…”
Because of this sentence, Comrade Cheng remained silent for two or three minutes, and finally uttered only two words, "Eat."
Jiang Shuangshuang couldn't wait any longer.
As soon as the host opened his mouth, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Her first choice was the braised pork with alternating fat and lean texture.
The meat is tender and tasty, and paired with the specially prepared thick sauce over rice, it is simply the best in the world!
Of course, it’s not just about eating.
Jiang Shuangshuang had one more important thing left unsaid, "Yesterday I was going to find a chance to tell you, my mother had no idea that the Jiang family had been asking your family for things all these years..."
She told him the whole story.
He did not slander the people in the old house in front of Comrade Cheng, but spoke the truth. He also made a suggestion, "You can discuss it with your parents first, and then summarize the things that the Jiang family has taken away over the years. If necessary, I can help you get them back."
She was happy to help.
Although the Jiang family doesn't have much money now, they can always get some things out of the house.
It just so happens that I won’t officially start work until next Monday, so I can find something to kill time during these few days.
When Jiang Shuangshuang was saying this, Comrade Cheng across from her didn't say a word, but he was still listening very carefully. After she finished speaking, he asked very carefully: "Comrade Jiang, will your impression of me change because of this relationship?"
Now Jiang Shuangshuang was a little stunned.
It's not like she hadn't thought about how he would respond, but this answer really caught her off guard, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should answer or not.
Not that she couldn't answer.
But she had a definite answer in her heart.
Comrade Cheng has a really good personal image, and we didn't feel uncomfortable during our brief interaction.
But because of the relationship between the Jiang family and the Cheng family, it is indeed too complicated.
It just so happens that what she hates most is complicated things.
"Then don't treat me as him." Cheng Jin didn't wait for her reply. After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of braised pork for her with chopsticks. It was not pure fat nor pure lean, but a mixture of fat and meat. He could see that she liked this kind of pork belly very much.
Then he looked her straight in the eye and continued, "Can it be just you and me for a while?"
"Um?"
Cheng Jin hesitated for a moment, recalling his nephew's coquettish expression, pursed his lips and softened his tone, "Please!"
“…………Ha.” Jiang Shuangshuang covered his eyes with his hands and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
In fact, she wanted to say that this was unrealistic.
No matter what, even if it's her and him now, in the end it's still a matter between two families, with too many complicated relationships involved.
But when I saw the weird expression on his face, pretending to be good, I thought maybe it's not impossible to have some contact with him again?
But she didn't mean to agree, but tilted her head and asked, "Why?"
Cheng Jin was silent for a while.
He did not choose to lie, but he did not want to confess the truth either. He just said, "I have hidden something from you, but out of selfishness, I would like you to give me some time so that we can have more contact."
He paused and continued, "Of course, it is your right to know the truth. I shouldn't hide it for any reason. If you want to know now, I will tell you."
"Hiding a secret?" Jiang Shuangshuang was really curious, but she didn't ask for an answer. "Then how long are you going to keep it from me?"
"No." Cheng Jin shook his head. "I am not qualified to decide the time. You decide it."
This request is unreasonable.
But it was the only solution he could think of. After getting the news from Director Wei, all his plans were ruined...
In the morning he was thinking that after returning to the army he would apply to keep the yard with the fruit trees in it. He thought she would definitely like it.
He even calculated his own assets.
Most of the allowances in recent years were saved and not spent. He used to think that money was not important. He had no worries about food and clothing in the army and had no need to spend money, so he had saved up quite a bit.
He could hand over all the business in the house to her without hesitation.
It's very strange, since we only had a few brief contacts.
But he is already thinking years, even decades, into the future.
Perhaps this is what Director Wei means by harmony.
But just as he was planning, he was suddenly told that everything was wrong.
The person Comrade Jiang Shuangshuang wanted to find was Cheng Jin, not Cheng Jin.
His only request now is that they spend more time in contact with each other and deepen their relationship. He will use practical actions to make Comrade Jiang Shuangshuang know.
Cheng Jin is no worse than Cheng Jin!
Because he was worried that without the identity of "Cheng Jin", they would become strangers again.
Waiting is bound to be tiring and make people extremely anxious.
Cheng Jin had already put down his chopsticks and was sitting in a standard military posture, waiting for an answer very seriously.
Jiang Shuangshuang thought for a moment and said, "If I ask you to tell me now, will you tell me the truth?"
Cheng Jin hesitated.
But after hesitating, he nodded gently, "Yes."
There was another silence.
Jiang Shuangshuang also put down his chopsticks and asked an irrelevant question, "Comrade Cheng, how many days do you have for your family visit leave?"
"Yes!" Cheng Jin nodded heavily. "Although I can't tell you the specific reason, I will stay here for about half a year."
"Is that so?" Jiang Shuangshuang raised the corners of her lips, "Then let's set it to half a year. Although I don't know what you are hiding, if it is too big and makes me unhappy, I will get so angry that I will fight with you."
"Don't worry, I won't fight back!"
"What's the point of not backhanding?" Jiang Shuangshuang hummed, "Let's fight for real and see who is more powerful."
She had long wanted to fight with Comrade Cheng. The other party was very skillful and she was not much worse. Who would win or lose?
Cheng Jin didn't know how to respond. There was no distinction between men and women on the battlefield, and he would show no mercy no matter how hard he tried.
But...
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't wait for his response, but gestured with her hand, "Don't just stand there, eat quickly, or it will get cold."
Cheng Jin opened his mouth and tried to fight for it.
But suddenly I realized that I had already got the answer, so I immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, "Eat!"
The two were eating delicious food and chatting idly, when Cheng Jin suddenly turned his head and looked out the door.
Jiang Shuangshuang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Someone is watching us."
Jiang Shuangshuang looked over and had to say that the soldier was very cautious. She said, "It's okay. She's my cousin."
Cousin, Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan just came back from outside.
She seemed particularly busy these past two days, and had to tidy up the house before she had any free time. She said it was a family division, but when her grandmother told her to do something, she didn't even have the right to refuse.
Washing clothes, cooking and cleaning are all done before you can step out of the house.
I am always exhausted every time I go out, but I still have to keep myself alert in front of Cheng Jin.
It's not that they don't get along well with each other.
But it was better than she imagined.
It was so good that Cheng Jin had proposed to meet the Jiang family more than once.
Just finding some reasonable excuses made her exhausted. She didn't even know how long she could drag it out. She was not sure whether Cheng Jin would still recognize her if he knew the truth.
I rushed all the way home and had to go back to make lunch for the people at home.
But when I passed by the state-owned hotel, I didn't expect to see Jiang Shuangshuang and a gay man eating inside.
This scene made her understand some things.
No wonder Jiang Shuangshuang didn’t meet Cheng Jin and her third aunt didn’t come home to ask. It turned out that Jiang Shuangshuang already had a better partner.
Thinking back to the man's attire and appearance, I didn't feel jealous, but a sense of powerlessness...
It seemed that the things that Jiang Shuangshuang could easily get were things that she could never get even if she put all her effort into.
"Why do you lock me up at home? The Women's Federation says marriage is free. Even if you are my mother, you have no right to interfere in my marriage!"
Hysterical shouts echoed in the courtyard. Jiang Nannan came to her senses. She lowered her head and walked into her parents' room. She said to the people inside, "Dad, I'm here to get some food."
Brother Jiang threw the key over and asked, "Is your mother okay in the hospital?"
"Very good." Jiang Nannan asked quietly while picking out food, "Is my aunt still making a fuss?"
"They started quarreling so early in the morning. It's giving me a headache." Brother Jiang said angrily, "I don't know what's wrong with this little girl. She could go to someone else's house and be someone's stepmother. Don't follow her example, or I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you."
Jiang Nannan paused and said nothing.
The father and daughter were quiet, but the noise next door was getting more and more violent.
How could Jiang Qing have the time to waste at home?
The day of going to the countryside is getting closer. What if she is not watching over him and Ma Jian finds a new wife?
But I have tried everything, including crying, making a fuss, and even hanging myself.
But her parents refused to give in, and even locked her up at home, not allowing her to even go out.
Jiang Qing was so impatient that she wanted to make a stupid decision, so she just said that she and Ma Jian had a physical relationship and she had no choice but to marry him.
But she was afraid that it would be too late to handle it.
At this moment, she happened to see Jiang Nannan passing by with a basin in her hand, so she quickly called her over, "Jiang Nannan, come here."
Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over.
"Go and steal the key." Jiang Qing ordered bluntly, "I know you opened my mother's drawer. As long as you help me, I can pretend that I didn't see it."
I saw Jiang Nannan sneakily opening my mother's drawer before, but she was too lazy to pursue it and just pretended not to see it.
Now it's just the right handle to hold her hostage.
Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Nannan's whole face changed.
Jiang Qing snorted, "I know what you are planning. Isn't it just to find a man to marry secretly so that you don't have to go to the countryside? We have the same goal. If you let me go, I will keep it a secret for you."
"You... know?" Jiang Nannan stared at her in a daze, panicking inside.
She thought she had kept it a secret, but she didn't expect that it would be known to others soon.
"Of course I know." Jiang Qing looked determined.
How could she not know?
Didn’t Jiang Nannan marry a cripple in her last life?
Calculating the time, it should be around this time.
Thinking about how her affair was such a big deal, but Jiang Nannan was able to keep it a secret, he was indeed the person she wanted to be friends with in her life. No wonder Jiang Nannan could live a good life even after marrying a cripple.
She slowed down her tone, "If you help me, I can help you!"
Jiang Nannan clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.
But she felt no pain at all. Her brain felt like it was about to explode, yet it was also exceptionally clear. "Not now."
"Why?!" Jiang Qing was anxious. When he was thinking about whether to threaten her, Jiang Nannan said, "Grandma, watch the gate. Even if I get the key and open the door, you can't leave the yard."
"What should we do?" Jiang Qing's threatening expression changed again, and he said anxiously: "Think of a solution. You must have a way."
"Let's wait until everyone comes back." Jiang Nannan lowered her eyes. "If there are too many people and something happens, it will attract grandma and the others. Then you can run away."
"What kind of trouble would that have to cause?"
Jiang Nannan has no idea now, but she needs to think about it carefully.
It’s one thing that Jiang Qing knows what she is doing, but more importantly, if Jiang Qing is really willing to help her, perhaps she will be able to achieve her wish.
But before that, she still had to find a way to test Jiang Qing to see if she really knew everything.
The two aunt and nephew whispered to each other for a long time, discussing how to make the commotion even bigger.
For this reason, Jiang Qing also suggested exposing the fact that her father hid money to buy alcohol, so that her parents would have a big fight and would not care about her.
It was true filial piety, but the granddaughter Jiang Shuangshuang indirectly saved the old man once.
Although the textile factory has a cafeteria, not everyone eats there.
In the past, Mrs. Jiang would come back at noon every day. She didn’t have to cook or wash the dishes herself. After eating, she could lie in bed for an hour before going to work.
After the separation, I was too lazy to cook, so I took the food to the factory and ate in the cafeteria at noon.
But this afternoon she came running back, and as soon as she entered the compound she started yelling, "Mom! Mom!"
Old Lady Wang responded unhappily, "Why are you yelling? You are such a nuisance. No matter how much you yell, you won't get any food. If you want to eat, cook for yourself."
Mrs. Jiang didn't care and asked quickly, "Mom, did you know that Jiang Shuangshuang found a job?!"
"Looking for a job?" Old Lady Wang was stunned. "She took over Xu Yingxia's job?"
"I didn't take over the job. I found a job at the Public Security Bureau. The salary is over 30 yuan a month!"
"Impossible!" Old Lady Wang didn't believe it at all. "Do you think it's that easy to find a job? In a public security unit, and for more than 30 yuan a month, only a fool like you would believe such a lie."
"Why would I lie to you? It was Xu Yingxia who said it herself." Jiang Dasao didn't believe it at first. "She said it in front of everyone in the workshop. She even had a letter of introduction in her hand. She said she would start working at the street office next Monday."
Old Lady Wang was shocked when she heard this. "Is this true?"
"I really didn't lie to you!"
If it wasn't true, Mrs. Jiang wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry. She really regretted it now. If she had known that Jiang Shuangshuang could get such a high-paying job, it would have been better for her not to separate the family.
The mother and daughter earn nearly eighty yuan a month!
Old Lady Wang was getting a little impatient now. She was really curious about how that girl got the job. She had never heard that they had such a way. "Let's go and ask Xu Yingxia."
He took two steps and then stopped, asking cautiously, "Is Jiang Shuangshuang at home?"
If she were at home, she wouldn't want to ask no matter how curious she was.
She was originally a little badass, and now she works at the police station. What if she gets thrown into jail one day for revenge? If she goes to jail at such an old age, she will be too ashamed to face people.
It would be better to just hang yourself.
"Let's go and take a look first. If Jiang Shuangshuang is not here, we'll ask my third brother's wife. If she is..." Jiang's wife didn't say anything else. She didn't want to go in if she was there. Even if Jiang Shuangshuang had never beaten them, the elders, she couldn't stand his mouth.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed and ran to Xu Yingxia without saying a word.
What they didn't notice was that not long after they left, a figure quietly left the compound along the wall...
