After she had eaten two bowls of noodles from the large blue-rimmed bowl, the old lady finally let her go. She was still muttering:
"The day after tomorrow, take a rest and come over early. You need to gain weight for the Beginning of Autumn. I'll make you some pancakes with scrambled eggs and some pork elbow in soy sauce. You've suffered a lot this time. Your little face is so thin that it's almost pouting." (Cheeks sunken)
I looked down at my slightly tight waistband and realized what she said was true: the clothes were tight because they had shrunk.
I promised repeatedly that I would come over that day, and then I left my grandma's house. I rode my bike to Uncle Liu's house again. There was no other way, I had to tell him something in person, otherwise he would nag me for half a year.
I found a deserted spot on the road, and bought lotus root starch, a fan, an oil-paper umbrella, and a piece of fabric. These were all for my aunts, and each of them had one. It was rare to come across such delicate things, so of course everyone who saw them had a share.
"I was wondering who it was that dared to knock on our door in broad daylight. It turns out that our hero has returned. Come on in. I'll pour you some tea and you can come inside."
Holding something in her hand, she didn't dare to bang her arm against the door, so she raised her foot and kicked it twice. Seeing her uncle Liu's sarcastic tone, Jiang Cha didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head and went into the house to wait for the old man to continue.
"You, you, I'll give you a beating. You're a grown-up girl now. If I don't, you won't learn your lesson. How many times has this happened? When is it your turn to charge into battle?
Someone just said a few nice words to you and used some beauty tricks, and you were so willing to be the bait? Even the boss couldn't stop you, and you couldn't be so obvious on their territory.
No one knows better than Boss how that kid got the credit. How could he have known that you would become attracted to him just for helping him that one time?
He called me as soon as he got home and kept apologizing, saying he had let a wolf into the house. I think you are simply blind, only seeing that he looks good, like a donkey dung ball with a shiny exterior.
After saying that, he tapped Jiang Cha's forehead with his finger, looking as if he was disappointed in his child.
"I was wrong, please don't criticize me. It was really just lust, not just a vague affection. Once I met his parents, I knew it was impossible.
At first, I quite liked his parents; they seemed so friendly on the train. But when we met again and heard him introduce me, the way they looked me up and down was like what?
That’s right, it’s the same look I saw in Inner Mongolia when people were selecting cattle and sheep, almost opening their mouths to check their teeth.”
"Snap"
With his eyes wide open and his hands slammed on the table, Uncle Liu's aura emerged.
"Hmph, what the hell is so kind? How dare you look at you like that? Just look at their family background. If she hadn't been fawning over Old Dong's sister-in-law and shamelessly recognized her as her godmother, she would be so...
A man who was supported by a concubine, and who could get to this point. He relied on reporting his biological father and getting close to Old Master Dong, and only then did he rise to this level step by step.
Out of a little friendship, Old Dong took care of him, but who would have thought he would set his sights on you? Don't let me see those shameless old men, or I'll skin them alive."
What did she hear? What was this big news? No wonder this family regarded status as so important. It turned out that it was supported by a weak and incapable concubine. If you calculate it, the status of the concubine is not as high as that of the concubine.
"I was wondering, as soon as I mentioned their family's status, they took the man home that same day. So that's what happened. Is there some other reason for their family's rapid rise in recent years?"
"It's okay, not completely stupid. His family is connected to a leader of the Revolutionary Committee, a high-ranking official. They were planning to send that boy to someone else's family as a son-in-law, and they didn't expect to see you two together, so they're bullying you without any concealment."
After saying that, he looked at her meaningfully. What did he mean?
"We're not together yet. I have some thoughts about it, but he's hesitant and has to wait for me to say it first. So we haven't gotten together yet. Don't worry, we won't get together in the future. I promise."
She almost raised her hand and swore to Uncle Liu that she didn't want to get involved with this unlucky thing. Whoever wants it can have it.
"My eldest niece is quite good. She inherited it from me. She has been around a lot of flowers but never got hurt. I heard that she has never been in a relationship before, no matter how cunning she is~"
"I want to hear what you've come across. By the way, tell me who Wanhua is. If you can't tell me, I'll pull your ears off."
Aunt Liu, wearing an apron, held a shovel in one hand and pulled Uncle Liu's ear with the other, asking him questions gently.
"Let go, the child is here. Please give me some face in front of my niece. There is no such thing as Wanhua. When I was young, I only thought about going on missions every day.
Now that she is old, she has to take care of the children for her parents every day. The heartless couple watches movies today and stars tomorrow, and I am the only one who takes care of the children.
Others buy girls hair ornaments and treat them to dinner, while I wash her diapers and feed her. The fact that we met at such an old age was purely due to her parents. I had so much trouble taking care of children back then and never wanted to get married, until I met you, my wife. Let's go, or else it's asymmetrical."
"snort"
Aunt Liu returned to the kitchen, still smiling, but her face was red. This old man had to step on their whole family to please his wife.
"I'm telling you, don't be too happy, this is a true story. Your family on either side of your parents' side have never mentioned it, and I haven't seen it either.
Ever since you were born, whoever is free in the family compound will take care of you. After all, I am single. I pay you money every day to take care of your children. You are such a heartless little thing. Now that you have grown up, you don’t even kiss me anymore.”
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are so fashionable that they even found a nanny for the original owner.
"Thank you for your hard work and contribution. I must offer you a glass of white wine."
"Come on, forget it. I've heard from Old Liu that with your alcohol tolerance, you shouldn't drink outside for no reason. It's embarrassing. Okay, wash your hands quickly. Your aunt is almost done cooking. Grab the bowls and chopsticks and let's eat."
