Chapter 421 How did I end up following such a person?
After a day of rest, the group went to the event venue the next day to exchange ideas.
Although it's called an event venue, it's actually just a square-like place, but it's now packed with people. Many manufacturers are here, each with their own products to introduce.
People also come here to buy things, so whenever someone asks, they have to introduce their canned goods.
The cannery now mainly produces canned yellow peaches and canned pears.
The yellow peaches and snow pears were all purchased by the factory manager himself from the base. In short, they tasted very good, and the factory manager was full of confidence in his products.
In short, he was very satisfied with the product.
So on the first day, the results were quite obvious. They were able to sell their canned goods, allowing more people to buy them, which made the factory manager very happy.
Just then, a woman from next door suddenly called out, "Zhi, Zhi Xia."
Shen Zhixia saw a slightly plump woman. She stared at her for a while but didn't recognize her as Shen.
This is normal. Although she transmigrated into the body of the original owner, not everyone knew her. For example, she didn't know the person in front of her.
The woman covered her mouth and said, "Zhixia, have you forgotten me? I'm your classmate, I'm Jiang Wu."
When she mentioned it, Shen Zhixia remembered.
When the original owner was in college, she had a classmate named Jiang Wu, and the two had a pretty good relationship. Later, after Shen Zhixia got married, they rarely kept in touch.
In my memory, Jiang Wu was a girl with a gentle appearance and a slender figure, but the girl in front of me has gained a lot of weight and looks completely different from the one I remember.
Time really is a cruel mistress; it can change a person beyond recognition.
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "So it was you. I remember now."
Jiang Wu looked a little embarrassed: "I have changed a lot, that's why I look like this. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself. But you haven't changed at all."
She looked at Shen Zhixia with some envy. Back in school, Shen Zhixia was the school beauty. Now, after so long, she is still so radiant. Time has been exceptionally kind to her, leaving no trace on her at all.
That's great!
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Nothing hasn't changed. You've aged quite a bit since you were in school."
Jiang Wu said, "Where have you aged? I can't see it at all. You look exactly the same as before."
Shen Zhixia said, "You're too good at talking. Well, I'll take it seriously then."
Jiang Wu lowered her eyes and said, "What I said was the truth."
She looked at her belly and felt a little inferior.
After giving birth, her belly became very large and could never return to its original size. This was also because she didn't find a good doctor when she gave birth.
During that time of the Cultural Revolution, there were no doctors in the hospitals, only some unprofessional nurses. Many pregnant women who were sent there died unexpectedly.
She was lucky; her baby was very young, so there were no complications during the natural birth. However, she still suffered from aftereffects.
Jiang Wu asked, "Where are you staying now? Let's find a place to talk."
Shen Zhixia randomly found a guesthouse, and Jiang Wu followed her there.
Jiang Wu said, "When the movement broke out, something happened to my family. You know my dad works abroad. He had just been on a business trip abroad when he was attacked."
At this point, tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Wu comes from a very well-off family.
Her father owns a factory and has business dealings with overseas companies. Her family is very wealthy, and she is also a rich heiress. It is precisely for this reason that she and Shen Zhixia get along so well.
After all, you associate with people of similar backgrounds.
Shen Zhixia's family is also well-off, but the only advantage of the Shen family is that they have no connections with foreign countries.
During the movement, almost everyone involved with foreign countries died a horrible death.
Seeing Jiang Wu crying so hard, she paused for a moment before saying, "Is Uncle Jiang... gone?"
"Yes, he was persecuted to death."
Jiang Wu lowered her head and said with a bitter smile, "When the movement started, he was abroad. He could have left, but he thought we were all in China, so he came back. He just couldn't let us go. As a result, after he came back this time, he passed away. All of the Jiang family's property was also confiscated."
Shen Zhixia could only say, "Please accept my condolences."
Besides that, she couldn't offer any more words of comfort. After all, words were useless.
She knew this era was tragic, and that there were many, many people like Jiang Wu.
They were all persecuted by their time.
But there was no other way.
After all, people simply cannot accept factories that cooperate with foreign countries. Regardless of whether Jiang Wu's father's business dealings abroad are legitimate, they will be criticized.
There's nothing we can do to change this.
Jiang Wu wiped away her tears and said, "How have you been lately?"
She didn't know much about Shen Zhixia. Since marrying Huo Chenzhou, Shen Zhixia had been with the army, and the two had no contact.
Shen Zhixia thought about her recent situation and felt that she was doing very well, but she didn't need to show off how well she was doing in front of Jiang Wu. She just said lightly, "It's just like that. That's how life is."
Her behavior led Jiang Wu to misunderstand.
Jiang Wu sighed, "If this hadn't happened, you would have eloped with Wang Qiming long ago and lived a happy life. Why would you be with that roughneck? I know you're unwilling, but there's nothing you can do. Sometimes life is like that; it doesn't give us many choices."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She was speechless. She had long forgotten about Wang Qiming, so why was she hearing that name from someone else again?
Jiang Wu suddenly stopped being sad. She recalled, "Wang Qiming was indeed very charming and handsome. Many girls liked him. It's such a pity that you missed out."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
It's not a pity at all.
Please don't mention him anymore.
She waved her hand and said, "I only like my husband now, and I don't like Wang Qiming. Don't mention his name. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
She didn't want to mention Wang Qiming at all. Although she didn't have any entanglement with Wang Qiming, everyone thought it was her. Every time her name was mentioned, she felt that it was her dark history, and she completely refused to think about it.
Jiang Wu said sympathetically, "Did your current husband hit you? I heard he hit you and wouldn't let you be with Wang Qiming. You're so beautiful, how could you end up with someone like that?"
