Mrs. Qian also worked in the same place as Xu Sanniang. Seeing Jiang Cheng coming to Xu Sanniang to give her some mung bean soup, Mrs. Qian swallowed her saliva and felt that she was dying of thirst. So she quietly came over and asked for a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Tingzhi's mother, please give me a bowl of mung bean soup!" Mrs. Qian did not ask Jiang Cheng for it. She thought that as long as Xu Sanniang agreed, Jiang Cheng would not refuse!
Jiang Cheng saw Mrs. Qian coming over, and thought that since they were from the same village and lived close to each other, it would be bad not to give her some, so he wanted to take a bowl and serve it to Mrs. Qian.
As soon as he started to move, he was stopped by Xu Sanniang.
"You want to drink?" Xu Sanniang looked at Mrs. Qian. "If you want to drink, just ask your second sister or Xiaobao to bring it to you! Why ask mine? Are you going to drink as many days as our Chengcheng brings it to you? You're so arrogant! Second sister and the others are at home and have nothing to do, so you can ask them to bring it to you!"
Xu Sanniang didn't indulge Qian Pozi. She knew that if she gave it to her today, Qian Pozi would come to her with a flattering face every day!
Xu Sanniang pulled Jiang Cheng to the side, away from Mrs. Qian.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me! What's so good about that mung bean soup? I married a money-loser... How much money would it cost to drink it every day?"
When Mrs. Qian saw that she couldn't get any mung bean soup, she started cursing.
Xu Sanniang and the others didn't care what Mrs. Qian thought. After they had almost finished drinking, they let Jiang Cheng go back first because Song Tao was still at home!
…
In the evening, when Mrs. Qian returned to the house, she saw Zhang Ermei and Zhang Xiaobao doing no work at home and not even having a meal. Mrs. Qian was tired, angry and hungry!
Mrs. Qian, I feel sorry for my youngest son, so I don’t say anything to him, but I just scold Zhang Ermei.
"You're such a heartless girl! You don't do any housework, and you don't follow me to work in the fields. You just sit there with your mouth open waiting for food! What's the point of me giving birth to you? I might as well marry you off soon!"
Mrs. Qian grabbed Zhang Ermei's ear and cursed loudly.
"Mom, are you crazy?" Zhang Ermei saved her ears from Mrs. Qian and stayed away from her.
"Am I crazy? You're such a lazy girl! Even the Song family's newlywed husband knows to serve mung bean soup to the whole Song family on such a hot day, even with his belly covered!"
"What about you? I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. During the famine, I provided you with food and water. I couldn't bear to see you starve. But you can't even bring me a bowl of water. What good is you?"
Mrs. Qian said angrily.
"Why don't you talk about your third brother? Doesn't he work, too? Besides, during the Great Famine, you lived for Zhang Xiaobao, while your eldest sister starved to death! I could only eat what Zhang Xiaobao left!"
Zhang Ermei felt so aggrieved by what Mrs. Qian said that she didn't care about anything else.
"You... you're going crazy! Talking to your mother like that! You're going to get married in the future, but Xiaobao doesn't need to! What's wrong with you doing more work? Besides, your eldest sister died because she wasn't lucky enough to live to this day! What does it have to do with me?"
Regarding the death of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Qian insisted in front of outsiders and her family that her eldest daughter starved to death because she loved her younger brother so much that she saved food for Zhang Xiaobao.
In addition to the commotion in Mrs. Qian's family, there was another family that was also making trouble!
Jiang Family——
When Jiang Cheng was around, he did all the housework. Now that Jiang Cheng has run away and Jiang Caiyun doesn't work, Chen Mei has to feed the chickens and ducks and cook for the whole family every day after work. She is so tired!
"Oh, it's all Jiang Cheng's fault for running away! There's no one to do the housework!"
When she returned to her room at night, Chen Mei kept knocking on herself and complained to Jiang Maocai.
Jiang Maocai didn't say anything. Even if he didn't like Jiang Cheng, he was still his son. Remember how beautiful his mother was back then!
At first, Jiang Maocai was proud of marrying Bai Wei, but she passed away early. Later, Jiang Maocai married Chen Mei, and they were really in a different world!
Jiang Maocai sighed, "When Jiang Cheng was here, you weren't very nice to him. So let him run away."
"What do you mean? You didn't object to the substitutionary marriage back then, and Jiang Cheng ran away, leaving the whole family here without a care. Almost all the money in the family went to the Song family!"
"I'm so unlucky. I married into your Jiang family. I've worked so hard for this family for so many years, but what's the point? I heard that the Song family got a new husband a while ago. I don't know which unlucky guy got married into the family!"
Shen Mei said unhappily.
In order to find a good marriage for my daughter, I spent a lot of money. After the summer harvest, I must arrange Caiyun's marriage as soon as possible!
I heard that the school is pretty good!
"Go to sleep! We still have to work tomorrow!"
…
Jiang Cheng delivered mung bean soup for another five days, and the summer harvest was finally over.
These days, Jiang Cheng goes to the fields to look for Song Tingzhi every day, which makes the men working nearby feel jealous!
Why didn’t their husband/wife send them mung bean soup!
Not only that, almost everyone in the village knew Jiang Cheng, and they all told Xu Sanniang that her son had found a good husband who looked diligent and filial!
Everyone knows that Jiang Cheng from the Song family is a good boy!
The Song family received a lot of envious voices and looks.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
When Jiang Cheng returned to the house at night, he saw Song Tingzhi sitting down, so he walked behind him and massaged his shoulders and back to help him relax.
"It's not hard. I get through this every year. This year, with you here, I don't feel tired at all!"
Song Tingzhi held Jiang Cheng's hand and said.
"You're just talking nonsense!" Jiang Cheng pulled his hand away and punched him. "Let's go to town in a couple of days! I've embroidered all the cloth I bought. I've embroidered 30 pieces in total. Let's see how much I can sell it for!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Song Tingzhi nodded.
