Being entangled
Green River Village.
Jiang Guozhong and Jiang Xinrui returned home with gloomy faces. Feng Mei had just brought her son Jiang Tianci back from kindergarten and was changing his soiled clothes. Turning around, she saw Jiang Guozhong and Jiang Xinrui. She craned her neck and looked back, looking like a good wife and mother, and asked, "Where's Zhizhi? Why didn't you come back with us?"
"Don't mention it!" Jiang Guozhong walked into the house and sat down in a bad mood.
Jiang Xinrui's eyes were red with grievance, and she complained to Feng Mei, "Mom, my sister didn't want to come back with us. She even hit Dad, threw him to the ground, and stepped on his hand!"
"She threw your father to the ground?" Feng Mei suspected that she had heard wrongly. No matter how powerful Jiang Zhizhi was, she was just a junior high school student in her early teens, and a girl. How could she possibly knock down a strong man like Jiang Guozhong?
"Mom, seriously, my sister is like this, she immediately makes Dad..."
"That's enough! Go back to your room and do your homework!" Jiang Guozhong glared at Jiang Xinrui and scolded.
Feng Mei held Jiang Xinrui back and said, "Wait a minute."
She asked Jiang Guozhong, "What's going on? Is it that Zhizhi doesn't want to come back with you?"
"That little beast is an ungrateful bastard!" Jiang Guozhong cursed angrily.
Feng Mei quickly sat down next to Jiang Guozhong. "Even if she's an ungrateful person, you've been raising her for over ten years. Now that she's older, she'll be able to work in a factory and earn money. We can't let Cheng Yuping get away with it! Think about it, even if Zhizhi is young and doesn't make much money, she can still earn enough to pay for Xinrui and Tianci's tuition, right? That'll save us a lot of money! In a few years, if we find her someone to marry, we can get tens of thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but push Jiang Guozhong angrily, "Come on, how could you not even think of this and give all these benefits to others for nothing?"
"I just wanted to marry you as soon as possible, otherwise why would I be so anxious? That bitch Cheng Yuping refused to give in, and I was afraid it would take too long..."
"What's wrong with taking too long? You're just afraid that the house will be demolished and you won't get a share of my family's property! You really have no vision. I even gave birth to a son for you, how can you run away?" Feng Mei complained.
Jiang Guozhong was impatient. "Alright, it's already happened. What's the point of talking about it now?"
To be honest, he really didn't trust Feng Mei in his heart. After all, although he was with Feng Mei, deep down he thought that she was a fickle woman who would forget her principles when she saw profit, just like the other people in the village.
If he had not married her before the demolition, this woman would definitely not give him any of the demolition money. She might even kick him and the child out and find another man.
"If you ask me, you should go find Cheng Yuping and get the child back! If she loses the child, maybe she can marry into a good family again. Wouldn't that be better for both us and her?" Feng Mei said, "We should also buy Zhizhi something. She's a little girl, so if you buy her a couple of pretty dresses, she'll definitely come back with us."
As she spoke, she called Jiang Xinrui to her side and said, "Ruirui, go find Jiang Zhizhi after school tomorrow. Be sweet and ask her to take you home."
Jiang Xinrui thought of Jiang Zhizhi's fierce look today and felt a little scared. "Mom, I'm afraid my sister will hit me."
"You're a child, she won't hit you, Ruirui. If you can get her to send you back, we'll have money to go to the amusement park every day in the future, okay?"
Hearing that they could go to the amusement park every day, Jiang Xinrui's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded happily, "I know, Mom."

The next morning, the school distributed military training uniforms and Jiang Zhizhi was called to the office. Her homeroom teacher, Xiang Hailan, asked her to prepare a speech as an outstanding student representative for the opening ceremony next week.
When Jiang Zhizhi walked out of the head teacher's office, she saw Yao Jiaqi standing outside the door.
She naturally heard what Xiang Hailan said, and her face looked extremely ugly.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been an outstanding student representative in the school, but this time, she was snatched away by Jiang Zhizhi.
Back in the classroom, before Jiang Zhizhi even sat down, the school broadcast asked all seventh-grade students to gather on the playground to begin the military training opening ceremony.
It was mid-September, the height of summer heat. Li Rongrong glanced at the scorching sun outside and lamented, "Oh my god! I'm afraid I'll be tanned like a coal-black by the end of this military training."
Lin Qingyu joked: "It's okay, people of the same grade are here to tease you."
Li Rongrong curled her lips, still not very happy.
Half an hour later, all the freshmen in the seventh grade gathered in the playground according to their classes. The chief instructor delivered an opening speech on the podium in front of the playground and assigned coaches to each class one by one.
The school leaders gave a series of long and boring speeches, and by the time the ceremony was over, there were less than twenty minutes left until school was dismissed.
The students from each class returned to the classroom, and the coach came into the classroom to meet everyone for the first time.
"Classmates, be quiet."
The coach of Class 1 strode in, picked up the chalk and wrote his name on the podium.
"My name is Gao Hui. Starting today, I'll be the coach of our 1st Company, 1st Squad. For the next two weeks, I hope to get along well with everyone. We're coach and recruits, but we're also friends. But I have one thing to say in advance: we can have some small fights in private, but once training begins, you must obey my every word!"
"Class 1 is the top class in the city's No. 1 Middle School. We must strive to be the best in everything. In the military parade in half a month, you must take first place! Do you understand?"
Coach Gao Hui is in his early twenties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a shaved head and a straight back. He looks energetic and neat in his army green camouflage uniform. Especially when he growled the last sentence, he was like a leopard gathering energy to explode, making people subconsciously want to obey him.
His words also aroused the competitive spirit of Class 1, and they immediately shouted, "Got it!"
"Okay! Military training starts this afternoon. At 2:00 PM, your squad leader will lead the team to the playground!"

At noon, Jiang Zhizhi did not go home. She read a book in the classroom for a while. At around one o'clock, she went out to buy lunch.
As soon as they walked out of the school gate, Jiang Xinrui, wearing a pink and blue skirt, ran to Jiang Zhizhi, "Sister..."
She had been waiting at the door for more than an hour, and when she saw Jiang Zhizhi, she felt as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Jiang Zhizhi took two steps back, "I'm not your sister."
Jiang Xinrui looked at Jiang Zhizhi pitifully with tears in her eyes, "You are my sister. Dad asked me to wait for you here. Sister, can you take me home? I'm so hungry, and Mom and Dad didn't come to pick me up..."
"What's your relationship with me? I don't know you. Why should I send you home?" Jiang Zhizhi pushed her away mercilessly and turned to walk towards the street ahead.
Jiang Xinrui rushed over and hugged Jiang Zhizhi's legs, "Sister, please take me home, I beg you, I'm really hungry, I've been waiting for you here for a long, long time..."
Jiang Zhizhi kicked her away in disgust, "Get lost! Jiang Xinrui, I'm telling you, there's nothing between you and me! If you pester me again, I won't show any mercy!"
Her fierce expression frightened Jiang Xinrui. She fell to the ground, not even daring to cry, and stared at Jiang Zhizhi in a daze.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't even look at her, turned around and was about to leave.
"Jiang Zhizhi!"
Suddenly, another voice came from behind.
Jiang Zhizhi looked back and saw that it was Yao Jiaqi.
Yao Jiaqi helped Jiang Xinrui up and looked at Jiang Zhizhi angrily, "Jiang Zhizhi, how could you treat your own sister like this? You are so vicious!"
Jiang Zhizhi sneered, "Yao Jiaqi, since you are so nosy, just send her home."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation.
Yao Jiaqi was stunned looking at Jiang Zhizhi's back. Ever since she saw Jiang Zhizhi at the beginning of the school day yesterday, she always had an indifferent look on her face, as if she didn't care about anything.
But I didn't expect that Jiang Zhizhi had such a side, like a sharp knife, sharp and cold.
Yao Jiaqi glanced at Jiang Xinrui beside her. Jiang Xinrui was looking at her with a pitiful look at the moment.
She couldn't help but take a step back. "Don't look at me like that. Class starts in half an hour. I don't have time to take you home."
Yao Jiaqi ranked second in the grade and was already under great pressure. Now he wanted to spend every moment on studying to catch up with Jiang Zhizhi.
There was no way she would waste her precious time doing such a thankless task.
After Yao Jiaqi finished speaking, she hurried into the school with her schoolbag on her back, as if she was afraid that Jiang Xinrui would pester her.
Jiang Xinrui was kicked and squatted at the school gate with a wronged look, looking in the direction Jiang Zhizhi left.
She hates her sister. She came to find Jiang Zhizhi yesterday. Jiang Zhizhi beat her father and pushed her down today.
However, thinking that if Jiang Zhizhi went back, she would be able to go to the amusement park every day, she didn't want to give up.
Jiang Zhizhi bought a pancake for lunch. When she returned to school, it was already time for students to go to school and people were coming and going at the school gate.
At this moment, a group of students surrounded Jiang Xinrui, who was crying bitterly.
"Little sister, what's your parents' phone number? How about we call them for you and ask them to pick you up?"
Jiang Xinrui sobbed, wiping her tears as she said, "No... no need, my sister is here, she will take me home..."
"Which class is your sister in? What's her name?"
"My sister's name is Jiang Zhizhi." Jiang Xinrui said.
"Jiang Zhizhi? Is that the Jiang Zhizhi who was number one in the grade?"
Jiang Xinrui was about to answer when she saw Jiang Zhizhi, who had bought some pancakes and was about to go in. She ran over crying, "Sister, please don't ignore me. Take me home, please. Mom and Dad didn't come to pick me up, so they asked you to take me home. I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten yet."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the people around her and immediately understood Jiang Xinrui's intentions.
She did it on purpose, appearing in front of so many people to embarrass Jiang Zhizhi.
In her previous life, Jiang Zhizhi knew that Jiang Xinrui had been scheming since she was a child, but she didn't expect that she was so scheming at such a young age.
"I'm not your sister, you've got the wrong person." Jiang Zhizhi wanted to push her away in disgust.
But Jiang Xinrui held her legs tightly and refused to let go, crying even more pitifully.
For a moment, even the students who were just passing by stopped and looked at her.
