Inside the house, Wang Jianhua's daughter stood at the door listening carefully. The moment she heard her father tell her aunt to go home, she couldn't help but smile.
It’s great that her aunt can finally go back.
Since her aunt came to their house, her parents have been unhappy all day long. Even if her parents didn't quarrel in front of her, she heard her parents quarreling because of her aunt more than once. Also, since her aunt came, her aunt has been snatching her delicious food at home all day long, and even ordered her to serve her tea and water.
She doesn't like her aunt and wants her to leave her house. Now it's great, her aunt can finally leave, she doesn't have to be bullied by her aunt anymore, and her parents can finally stop quarreling.
At the dining table, Jiang Hongmei looked at the food and no longer had the mood to eat. She sat alone on the bench waiting for Jiang Xiufen to come back.
At this moment, Jiang Hongmei was complaining in her heart that her daughter was talking nonsense in front of Wang Jianhua. She had clearly agreed not to tell Wang Jianhua in the afternoon, so why did she turn around and tell him?
This made Jiang Hongmei confused and she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Jiang Hongmei was also angry, but after all, Jiang Xiufen was her sister. And if it weren't for Jiang Xiufen's protection, she wouldn't have been able to marry Wang Jianhua. So she owed her sister something, and she had to repay her. That's why she summoned Jiang Xiufen to the army four years ago to keep her company. She knew exactly what her parents were thinking back home, and she was afraid Jiang Xiufen would be sold out by them.
After a while, Jiang Hongmei waited and waited, and finally Jiang Xiufen came back. As soon as Jiang Xiufen came in, Jiang Hongmei's face darkened and she said, "Xiufen, where have you been again? I asked you to look after a child at home, but you didn't understand. You even pushed your niece to the ground. What on earth are you doing?"
Jiang Xiufen, who had been outside for the entire afternoon, was also filled with rage. She retorted to Jiang Hongmei, "What am I doing? I'm still asking you this question. What are you doing?"
"Sister, I am your biological sister. If you push me, your biological sister, into the fire pit for the sake of your peaceful life, are you still my biological sister?"
Jiang Hongmei thought that she had been good enough to Jiang Xiufen over the years and had done nothing wrong to her. Now Jiang Xiufen was pointing her finger at her and questioning her, which made the anger in Jiang Hongmei's heart explode immediately.
"I'm sorry for you? Xiufen, it's time for you to say this. Have you checked your conscience? I'm sorry for you?
Ever since I married your brother-in-law and joined the army, as soon as I felt settled, I sent a telegram to my parents, asking you to come and stay with me. At that time, I had just gotten married and had been in the army for less than a year.
Now you say I sold you out for my own life. If that's how I am in your heart, then why are you still here? Why don't you go back home quickly and not be like our eldest sister, who was sold out by our parents and married to a peasant?
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xiufen's face darkened, and she became more and more panicked at this moment. She didn't say it on purpose, she didn't mean to hurt her feelings, she didn't want to go back to her hometown.
Jiang Hongmei seemed not to notice Jiang Xiufen's expression and continued, "Since you came to the army, you haven't done anything except cooking and cleaning at home every day. Your brother-in-law and I also give you one or two yuan in pocket money every month to keep you here. Do you think you are worthy of us when you say this?
Four years ago, your brother-in-law is still a battalion commander because of you. When you said this, were you worthy of us?
We asked you to look after a child this afternoon, but you pushed the child to the ground. Is this how an aunt should behave?
Jiang Xiufen, if you feel that I, as your older sister, have let you down, then you can pack up your things and buy your own ticket back home, so you don't have to be upset by seeing me, your older sister, and feel that I, as your older sister, have let you down."
Jiang Xiufen's eyes were red as she pulled Jiang Hongmei's arm and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just spoke too quickly. This afternoon, I just gave her a light push and she fell to the ground. I don't know why."
"Sister, please don't be angry, okay? I apologize to you. I will apologize to my brother-in-law and my niece tomorrow. Please don't let me go back to my hometown. You know that if I go back to my hometown, I will be sold by them immediately. Sister, I beg you, I will never say these words again in the future. I will never say them again."
Jiang Hongmei looked at Jiang Xiufen, who was gasping for breath from crying, and her heart softened immediately. "Alright, stop crying. I'll speak well of you to your brother-in-law. But you also have to be sensible and not act like this again."
Jiang Xiufen immediately assured: "Sister, don't worry, I understand, I've remembered everything, and I will definitely change."
Seeing that Jiang Hongmei's expression had lessened, Jiang Xiufen asked, "Sister, are you going to introduce me to someone? Are you going to ask me to go on a blind date? Are you going to marry me off?"
Jiang Hongmei patted Jiang Xiufen's hand, "That's what I meant, and I've already picked the right person. It's the battalion commander next door. He has a small family, and we'll be close to each other in the future, so we can help each other if anything happens."
But I don't know why, but this afternoon when I got home from get off work, I ran into the battalion commander's mother. She withdrew the matter, saying that her son's personality wasn't compatible with yours and that he had to wait a few more years.
Jiang Xiufen was immediately conflicted when she heard this. A man like him, with no future at all, actually rejected her. What right did he have? But it was fine this way; she didn't look down on him either.
Jiang Hongmei thought Jiang Xiufen was feeling sorry for him. "Xiufen, don't worry. As long as you stay with me for one day, I will definitely make your marriage beautiful and find you a good young man. I will never treat you unfairly."
Jiang Xiufen followed Jiang Hongmei's instructions and hugged her, "Sister, it's great to have you."
Jiang Hongmei patted Jiang Xiufen on the back and said, "You're so old now, but you're still the same as when you were little."
"Sister, you are just good."
But who would have known that just when the relationship between Jiang Xiufen and Jiang Hongmei had finally eased for a while, the two of them started quarreling again.
Jiang Xiufen whispered in Jiang Hongmei's ear, "Sister, I don't want to get married yet. Can I continue to stay at your house? I promise this time that I will behave myself and cook and wash clothes honestly. I will definitely not cause any trouble. Okay?"
