Chapter 30 Chapter 30 (Update 1) “You said your name is Cheng Jin…
"Do you know me?" Cheng Jin looked at the person in front of him curiously, making sure that he really didn't know him.
But the look in his eyes was strange, as if...he saw an old acquaintance?
There are other emotions that are hard to see through.
But Cheng Jin was sure that he didn't know anyone here, except Nan Nan.
He came here because of something with Nan Nan, but he took the wrong road.
His original intention was to visit the textile factory's family compound, although Nan Nan kept saying that it was not convenient to entertain guests at home. But after he called home, both his father and mother felt that it was rude for the future son-in-law not to visit.
Dad had another intention, which was to let him visit Comrade Xu Yingxia's home.
Dad has always been thinking about Comrade Jiang's life-saving grace. Now that he has come to this city, there is no reason for him not to visit. He must pay him a visit.
and……
Although his mother didn't say it too bluntly, she also reminded him that marriage is a major event in life and is not just a matter between two people but also between two families. He must meet the Jiang family before making any plans.
In fact, he knew very well that his mother's words and actions showed that she did not trust the Jiang family and Jiang Nannan.
The Jiang family had taken a lot of money from her over the years. She didn't believe that they would marry their daughter to her so easily, and she didn't believe the explanation that they had to ask for money because of poverty.
Cheng Jin disagreed in his heart but couldn't refute it.
He thought of finding out the situation first, and understanding everything so that he could explain it to his parents and make them have a better impression of Nan Nan.
However, because he was not familiar with the road, he found the yard next to the textile factory, which was the yard of the slaughterhouse. After realizing that he was in the wrong place, he was about to walk out of the alley when he was bumped into by someone.
The person in front of him didn't respond for a long time, just stared at him.
Cheng Jin didn't like this look very much. He frowned and wondered whether he should just leave.
At this moment, the person in front of him spoke, her voice still a little hoarse, "I am Jiang Qing, I am... Jiang Shuangshuang's aunt."
This introduction made Jiang Qing feel very uncomfortable.
The man in front of her was her husband with whom she had slept for decades, had given birth to children for him, cooked for him, and had lived under the same roof for decades.
She actually really likes Cheng Jin.
Especially Cheng Jin in front of him, dressed in an army green uniform, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked particularly energetic.
Otherwise, she would not have agreed to this marriage without hesitation in her previous life.
But the depression and hardship in life have long made me forget this feeling.
After meeting Cheng Jin, she became more certain of her thoughts. She must live a much better life than her previous life, to make her rebirth worthwhile!
And when facing Cheng Jin, she subconsciously raised her chin.
I really don't want to show anything too shameful in front of this man.
"Jiang Shuangshuang?" Cheng Jin knew this name.
I knew before I came here that when my dad was a child, he felt guilty after drinking and said that if he had held on a little longer, if he had not been so exhausted and exhausted, perhaps those children would not have lost their father at such a young age.
Jiang Huanhuan, Jiang Shuangshuang and Jiang Xiaozhou.
His father is still alive and continues to be the pillar of the family, but the price is that the other three children lost their father.
So when his father asked him to come for a blind date, he also thought about getting along well with Jiang Shuangshuang if they could get along well.
However, Jiang Shuangshuang already has a partner, and the person who came to the Jiang family for a blind date is Jiang Shuangshuang’s cousin, Nan Nan.
This is what Nan Nan told him.
He said that he had met Jiang Shuangshuang's girlfriend in a state-owned hotel. He was tall and handsome, and the way he sat looked like a soldier from the army.
"Why are you here... Are you here to look for Jiang Shuangshuang?" Jiang Qing asked halfway when he realized that his question was in vain. Jiang Shuangshuang was just on the street ahead. If Cheng Jin wasn't here to look for her, then who was he looking for?
I originally thought that there was no movement from my third sister-in-law, and that the blind date between these two people was unsuccessful.
Now it seems clearly not the case, could it be that they are already together?
"I'm not here to see her." Cheng Jin shook his head, in case the young aunt of the Jiang family misunderstood, and gestured to the things in his hand, "I was thinking of visiting the Jiang family. It's rude not to come after so many days."
At this point, he shook his head and said shyly, "Also, I want to talk about my marriage with Nan Nan."
"Nannan? Jiang Nannan?!" Jiang Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice became extremely harsh, "Your marriage with Jiang Nannan?!"
…
Jiang Shuangshuang returned to the street office half an hour later.
Duan Yumei, who was following him, still had two handfuls of snacks in her hands. When she saw Director Wang, she quickly explained, "They are so enthusiastic. I really can't refuse."
Director Wang laughed a little, "It's just a snack, just take it."
Xiong Ping, who was standing next to him, looked curious. "Why did the Sun and Li families end their quarrel so early today? In the past, they would not stop until they had been making a fuss for half a day."
"It's over, it's over." Duan Yumei couldn't help but glance at the people around her while saying this. She had been to the scene with many seniors, but today was the first time she encountered this kind of handling method.
I was surprised but also felt admiration. When they came back, the two middle-aged men looked honest, and there was no trace of the fierce look they had during the fight.
Director Wang looked at the two of them and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Shuangshuang nodded, "It's okay, I'm pretty obedient."
"Um??"
"Did Sun and Li listen to your advice?"
Everyone in the office looked at her as if her words were puzzling.
If those two had listened to advice, they wouldn't have been fighting for decades, right?
Xiong Ping looked curious and put on a student-like look, "How did you persuade them? We should learn from you. Every time we meet them, it's useless to talk and do."
They really want to learn, and they need to persuade them too many times.
There are countless conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife, and neighbors.
In such a large area, there are quarrels almost every week. If you are lucky, you can meet some people who are receptive to advice and can calm them down with a little effort.
If you are unlucky, no one will pay attention to you no matter how much you talk, and you will continue to make trouble.
She said, "There is a woman in our area who is very good at speaking. She can talk a lot of truths. Sometimes she points at my nose and scolds me, but I don't feel angry. I even think she is right. If I could have a mouth like hers, it would be much easier."
"We don't have it, but Comrade Xiao Jiang does."
"Xiao Jiang is quite capable to be able to suppress Sun and Li."
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't want to continue being praised by them. As the saying goes, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", she didn't want everyone to throw the problems on her head in the end.
They are all getting the same salary, and she doesn't want to challenge higher levels every time.
He immediately put on a humble look, repeatedly saying "no", and then quickly changed the subject, "Sister Xiong, who is that person you are talking about? Is he also an employee of our street office?"
"That's not it." Xiong Ping shook her head and said, "She is a five-guarantee household in the southern area. But think about it, she has no children or a partner. If she doesn't have a sharp tongue, she will be bullied to death."
The five-guarantee households are a special group of people who have no source of income.
Guaranteed food, clothing, medical care, housing and burial.
Since he has no source of income, he can receive five dollars a month for living expenses. It may not seem like much, but it is completely enough for an elderly widower living alone.
I don't have any relatives around me, and if I'm not strong, I'll be bullied by outsiders.
"Five yuan is not a small amount of money. Some people are eyeing the money in the hands of the lonely elderly. They will cheat those who are easy to cheat, and rob those who are not easy to cheat. Many people who were beaten did not dare to come to us to complain, and they could only swallow all the suffering."
Xiong Ping sighed and continued, "Granny Tang is different. She dared to resist and dragged others along. Two years ago, a family was sent to the agricultural reform because they occupied the money and food of the five-guarantee households. It was not until Granny Tang made a big fuss that it became known to others."
"Well, let's not talk about this anymore." Director Wang shook his head, looking guilty, "If we weren't incompetent and didn't notice it, how could they have been bullied for so long?"
Although they were in charge of a large population, they would organize people to visit these five-guarantee households during the holidays. It was because they were careless and did not see the cries for help on their faces, otherwise Granny Tang, at such an old age, would not have to stand up and complain for them.
"No more, no more." Xiong Ping said embarrassedly, "If Xiao Jiang wants to get to know me, you can go visit me on the holiday and see me."
Jiang Shuangshuang nodded and took the report handed over by Director Wang. "Write down the location, people, and reasons of today's scene. After you finish writing, give it to Xiong Ping for registration. If you don't know how to write it, ask Comrade Xiao Duan."
Jiang Shuangshuang was about to reach out to take it when another person rushed in through the door. "Oh no, oh no, there's a fight in our yard... Xiao Jiang, it's good that you're here, go back and take a look, your aunt and cousin are fighting, it's so fierce, even a lot of their hair has been pulled out!"
"..." Jiang Shuangshuang's face remained calm.
It seemed that she was not surprised at all when she heard about the fighting and quarreling in the old house. She had even become accustomed to it. Instead, she thought it was strange that they did not fight and were sent to the hospital.
Director Wang frowned, "Why are they making trouble again?"
Of the registration forms submitted this week alone, more than half are related to the Jiang family.
If it wasn't for not being able to speak of feudal superstition in public, she really wanted to ask if there was something wrong with their ancestral tomb!
"I don't know." The person who came to report the news held up his hands. "Jiang Qing just came back and dragged Xiao Jiang's cousin out and beat her up. He beat her so fiercely that her eldest brother was bitten by Jiang Qing when he tried to stop her."
Director Wang rubbed his forehead helplessly.
She felt that Jiang Qing was really crazy.
First she made such a big fuss about her marriage, and now she beats people for no reason. It's a pity that I found someone to marry. Otherwise, who would dare to marry her if they heard about what she did?
She thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Jiang, come with me. After all, you both have the surname Jiang, so you can come and give some advice."
Jiang Shuangshuang nodded.
She was actually quite curious. The only cousin living in the old house was Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan had always been working quietly in the Jiang family and had almost no sense of existence. She was very curious about what had made Jiang Qing so angry that he dragged the man into the yard and beat him up.
"By the way, there's a young comrade who came to your house." On the way there, the messenger seemed to remember something, "That man came to your grandmother's house with a lot of things, and he looked like a guest, but not really. When Jiang Qing took action, he even helped to hold back."
Jiang Shuangshuang never paid much attention to the relatives of the Jiang family.
But she found that the man looked particularly strange when he spoke.
He looked like he wanted to ask something but was too embarrassed to do so.
Her intuition told her that this young comrade who came here must be the reason why Jiang Qing was angry.
When we arrived at the mansion, there was already a crowd of people outside.
Some people couldn't squeeze in and climbed up the branches nearby, stood on the branches and looked at the bustle inside.
"Go away, go away. What's the matter with all of you crowded here?" Director Wang waved his hand and pushed away the people who were crowded there one by one.
Seeing that the person who came was Director Wang from the Street Office, the person who was pushed away did not complain, but just stood there motionless.
Someone saw Jiang Shuangshuang following behind her and asked directly, "Shuangshuang, what happened to your aunt? The last time it was because of Comrade Ma from the motor factory, and today she and Jiang Nannan quarreled over which gay man?"
Such teasing remarks are very uncomfortable to hear.
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him and said calmly: "Look in the mirror. I won't do this for anyone else, not for you."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
"That's right, Er Mazi, go back and look in the mirror. If you don't have a mirror, I can lend you one!"
"It's better to worry about yourself than worry about others. You're already 27 or 28 years old and you still don't need to find a wife."
"Of course he can find one. Both of them have asked him to look in the mirror. Who would be willing to marry him with his appearance?"
Er Mazi's face was flushed by the bullying. He wanted to curse a few words, but then he remembered that Jiang Shuangshuang was not so easy to deal with. Unlike other girls, who would only blush when teased, Jiang Shuangshuang would probably end up getting beaten black and blue...
At this time Jiang Shuangshuang had already walked into the yard.
Seeing the hair that had been pulled out on the ground, it seemed that the person who had reported the news earlier was not exaggerating. There was quite a lot of hair scattered on the ground.
"Stop! Stop it!" Director Wang shouted loudly. She did not rush forward immediately, but yelled at Brother Jiang next to her, "Are you just going to stand here and watch the show? Hurry up and stop it!"
Brother Jiang stretched out his arm and said unhappily, "I blocked it and got bitten four times. My arm is full of teeth marks!"
"..." Director Wang choked.
There were really teeth marks all over his arm, and they were bleeding.
Her decision not to step forward immediately was indeed the right one. Experience told her that if she stepped forward to block him at this time, she would definitely return injured.
But we can't just ignore it.
The two people in front were already wrestling in the flowerbed, or rather, they were being beaten one-sidedly. Jiang Qing was directly pressing on Jiang Nannan, not only waving his hands but also kicking and hitting with his feet. If there hadn't been a male comrade standing by to hold him back, he would have been in serious trouble!
But it's also strange.
Jiang Qing even bit his own elder brother so badly, but he did not attack the male comrade who tried to stop the fight, and even avoided him on purpose.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Nannan, under the protection of this gay man, although her hair and clothes were torn into a mess, it seemed that nothing serious had happened.
But you still have to hold on!
Director Wang couldn't get Brother Jiang to come to his rescue, so he could only pull the people who were watching the excitement from the sidelines, "You, you, you, the four of you, stop her. Are you four big bosses afraid of being beaten by a woman? If you all work together, she can't stand you!"
The result was strange. The four young men who were pointed at did not move.
One of them smiled helplessly, "Director Wang, we dare not go forward to stop them. You haven't heard what Old Lady Wang said before. Last time there was trouble in their family, Chengzi went to help, but Old Lady Wang said that if anyone dared to touch their daughter, he would have to pay 300 yuan as a betrothal gift to marry her, or she would sue him for hooliganism."
After hearing this, who would dare to step forward?
Not to mention how outrageous the bride price is, just the idea of becoming a relative of the Jiang family is simply too terrifying.
"..." Director Wang took a deep breath and really wanted to give up. "Okay, if men can't do it, women can always help, right? You guys go up and pull Jiang Qing down. If you don't want to go, don't even think about getting an excellent grade in your courtyard this year!"
Having said that, who dares to stay still?
The rating is a kind of honor. Although it has no practical benefits, it will be given priority in future promotions and salary increases in the factory.
They immediately pulled their sleeves down to prevent Jiang Qing from biting their hands.
It would be even better if it really bit through the clothes, and the Jiang family could pay for it.
Jiang Shuangshuang also stepped forward to lend a hand. Seeing that the young man in front of him was a little handicapped, she glanced at him and stretched out her hand to block him and pushed him out. Then she grabbed Jiang Qing's wrist and pressed her against the tree stump. "Can you be quiet?"
Jiang Qing was pinned against the tree and couldn't move. She was struggling desperately when she saw the person behind her. She yelled with a fierce look on her face: "Jiang Shuangshuang, do you know what she did?! Jiang Nannan is a jerk, a big jerk!"
Cheng Jin, who was blocked out of the flowerbed, looked suddenly at the female comrade who was holding Jiang Qing.
She is... Jiang Shuangshuang.
The daughter of her father's savior, and...she was the one who was supposed to go on a blind date with him.
But thinking back to the look that Jiang Shuangshuang had given him just now, Cheng Jin felt inexplicably embarrassed. He was a grown man and had been trying to pull Jiang Qing here for a long time without success, and as a result, Jiang Shuangshuang came over and pinned Jiang Qing down with just one hand, making him unable to move.
In comparison, he seemed really unbearable.
What made him even more uncomfortable was.
It's all a lie.
Jiang Nannan was not as good as he imagined. She intercepted her cousin's blind date and tricked him to another place at the appointed time. The old woman was not Jiang Nannan's grandmother at all. Everything was full of lies.
In fact, ever since he followed Jiang Qing here, Jiang Nannan didn't make any excuses when she saw him.
But it was precisely because she didn't say anything that Cheng Jin knew that she was really deceiving him...
If Jiang Qing hadn't suddenly started fighting with Jiang Nannan, he would have turned around and left without hesitation, went straight to the guesthouse to pick up his luggage and never returned to this city again.
"Shut up." Jiang Shuangshuang shouted impatiently. Jiang Qing's sharp voice hurt her ears. She said to the people next to her, "What are you still standing there for? Pull that person away."
Everyone finally reacted and quickly helped Jiang Nannan, who was lying on the ground, up and took her away.
But after just two steps, Jiang Nannan grabbed the young man's clothes with one hand, pulling him tightly and unwilling to let go...
"This... Jiang Nannan, do you know this comrade?"
"Is this a relative of the Jiang family?"
"I've never seen this before. Why is Jiang Nannan holding onto his clothes and won't let go? Could it be that something is going on between them..."
It's hard not to think about it.
Look at Jiang Nannan's current appearance, a real wolf, with her hair torn into a mess, and her face covered with either bloody scratches or mud from being pressed to the ground.
But this time she didn't cry or make a fuss, she just stared at the gay man she was dragging.
No one would believe if you said there was nothing behind that look!
This caused the people present to keep looking at the young man with a somewhat inquiring look.
Cheng Jin felt particularly uncomfortable being stared at. He hesitated for a while before forcibly pulling Jiang Nannan's hand away and explaining to the others, "I am Cheng Jin, the son of Cheng Xingbang."
Cheng Jin?!
No one knew who it was at first.
Until someone shouted, "Isn't Cheng Xingbang the person Jiang Shuangshuang's father saved? He was the one who caused such a big fuss in their family some time ago."
After this reminder, everyone suddenly understood.
But...
If I remember correctly, the previous commotion was because Old Lady Wang secretly arranged for her youngest daughter to go on a blind date with Cheng Xingbang's son, and then she gave the girl back to Jiang Shuangshuang. But how is she now involved with Jiang Nannan?!
Oh my God, this Jiang family is too complicated.
Damn...interesting!
"Wait a minute." Jiang Shuangshuang, who had been holding Jiang Qing, let go of her hand. She stood on the flowerbed and looked down at the man in front of her. Her voice was calm and without a trace of emotion. "You said your name is Cheng Jin?"
