"You mean to let Jiang Henian marry your dog Shuai?"
Zhang Lai Di nodded. "Yes, I know you're still looking for her. But our Gou Shuan is definitely better than that idiot from the next village, right?"
Wang Chunfang glanced at the four-finger-wide strips of meat, a dozen eggs, and five big apples in the basket and snorted.
"Yes, Gou Shuai's kid has no problem except his legs. But everyone knows that girl is out of control now. Last time, she even drove the matchmaker away. She doesn't even listen to her father. I can't control her."
Zhang Lai Di saw that there was a chance, so she quickly praised her words:
"Sister Chunfang, what you said is true. Everyone in this village knows that you are the best at disciplining children. That girl is very stubborn, but as long as you are willing, there is no way she can be obedient without your supervision."
Wang Chunfang took the bright red apple she handed over and cursed in her heart: As expected, she relies on her status as the branch secretary to get a lot of benefits on a daily basis. She can buy such precious apples and must eat a lot of them on a daily basis!
She took a big bite and almost choked on the sweet and rich juice. She couldn't help but took several more bites before she spoke slowly.
"That's true, but the girls in our Jiang family are all very beautiful and talented. They are not the kind that can be married off just for a piece of meat and a few eggs."
Zhang Lai Di naturally knew Wang Chunfang's character, and there would be no negotiation without bleeding some blood.
"Nian girl, our family is sincere in marrying her. My dog Shuai likes her very much."
She gestured with sincerity and said, "What do you think of this?"
Wang Chunfang glanced at him and snorted, "Gouzhan, are you teasing me, or do you look down on my family?"
She casually put down the half-eaten apple and stood up. "Let's go back. Our boss should be back soon."
This is like not releasing the eagle until you see the rabbit.
Zhang Lai Di was not satisfied with Jiang Henian in the first place. If her son had not finally decided to get married and have children at his old age and insisted on marrying her, she would not be happy even if it was given to her for free.
Now she can only grit her teeth and bleed profusely. If that damn girl doesn't give her seven or eight big fat grandchildren, she will kill her!
She grabbed Wang Chunfang's arm, gritted her teeth and counted again.
"Sister Chunfang, let's not beat around the bush. This number can't be less than the one in the next village. If it's more expensive, there's no point in talking about it."
Zhang Lai Di lowered her voice and said, "This girl isn't your biological child. You can't hit her or scold her. She's just a burden. Don't you want to marry her off quickly? You'll have the final say in the family from now on. How comfortable would that be?"
"Don't worry, if a girl like this marries me, I will make sure that her spoiled temper is smoothed out and she lives a good life."
Wang Chunfang looked at her intently for a few seconds, and the two women's eyes instantly revealed each other's true feelings.
A wicked stepmother who is eager to drive her stepdaughter out and make her suffer.
A wicked mother-in-law who will definitely teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.
After the payment and goods were settled, they hit it off immediately.
The pretentious look on Wang Chunfang's face disappeared slightly, and she sat down again with a smile on her face.
"His elder sister, I didn't mean to pick on Qiao, but that girl is stubborn. Even if her father and I agreed, she could still cause a big mess. It won't be a good sight then."
"That's easy to say. As long as you, as a mother, agree, let's make it a done deal. How can that girl fly away?"
Wang Chunfang glanced at her and said, "Oh, if I can get this done for you, then it won't be in vain."
“How could it be!”
Zhang Lai Di took out six big unity notes and placed them on the table, her thick black eyebrows raised animatedly. "This is the betrothal gift and deposit. If the marriage is successful, it will definitely be a formal marriage."
Wang Chunfang finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. He reached out to take the money, quickly rolled it up and put it in his pocket.
The two of them huddled together and discussed for a while, and both were satisfied.
As soon as Zhang Lai Di left, Wang Chunfang immediately took out the money and counted it, then stuffed it into her underwear pocket with satisfaction. When she turned around, she was startled by someone walking out of the house.
"When did you get in the house, you little bitch?"
Jiang Yanqiu walked out with a smile on her face.
"Mother, have you found a good marriage for your sister?"
…
Not long after nightfall that day, the lights in every household in Huagou Village went out.
After a burst of noise, silence returned.
The weather is getting colder, and even the people who used to chat outside in the dark after dinner are gone.
Jiang Henian didn't return to the Jiang family until nearly nine o'clock.
Holding a candle, she pushed open the gate. It was dark inside. She quietly stepped in, turned around, waved her hand with a smile at the tall, dark figure outside the door, and closed the door.
There was a slight noise coming from the inner room, and she immediately put the army green cloth bag slung over her shoulder into the space.
Inside were all kinds of strange herbs that she had picked on the mountain before dark.
After a quick wash, I returned to the house.
In the room, Jiang Yanqiu lit a kerosene lamp and sat in front of the red table, combing her hair in front of the mirror. When she saw her come in, she immediately turned the mirror away.
Jiang Yanqiu treasured this small round mirror with a red plastic rim very much. The original owner once secretly used it to look at herself for a while and was humiliated and scolded, almost being slapped in the face.
Jiang Henian didn't bother to pay attention to her, just treating her as a roommate he didn't get along with in college, even though she came here before she had the chance to start college.
He opened the large wooden box in the corner, pretended to take out the medical book from the space, and sat on his bed to continue reading.
The medical book covered with transparent tape is thicker than before, and some of it has missing corners and edges, making the original ant-shaped characters even more tiring to the eyes.
Jiang Henian pinched his eyebrows and thought that he had to find a way to get some medical books.
She now knows that although the historical background of this world is slightly different from reality, it is generally similar. Books from that time are not easy to buy.
There is only one local doctor, Lao Ma Liu, in the nearby villages. I wonder if he has any connections.
Jiang Henian twisted the tape on the edge of the book with his fingertips, thinking to himself.
Jiang Yanqiu kept watching Jiang Henian's actions out of the corner of her eyes. Seeing her frowning and dazed while holding the book again, she couldn't help but sneer. She obviously couldn't understand it, so why was she pretending?
This tattered book, which he picked up from somewhere, is treated as a treasure.
That day, she saw the book was placed next to the pillow and not put away, so she deliberately led Jiang Xiaobao to take it and play with it. Sure enough, he tore the book up completely.
It was really satisfying to see Jiang Henian so angry that she went crazy. Unfortunately, her father was not cruel enough. When he saw her beating Jiang Xiaobao, he didn't do anything to punish her.
Jiang Yanqiu glanced at Jiang Henian's fair profile and felt a pang in her heart.
Obviously, she is also a biological daughter, but she became a stepdaughter. It is not right and no one can say anything. It's all the fault of this little bitch and her bitch mother!
As a result, she called him "Dad" on the surface, but she never enjoyed the treatment of a biological father for a single day, and she couldn't even recognize her own father.
Mother thought she had kept it a secret, but in fact she had overheard it a long time ago!
