Chapter 66: Crisis of Competition for Favor



Jiang Cheng's undisguised smile stimulated Lin Jiaojiao so much that her brain was deprived of oxygen.

"Thank you for the trip, comrade."

Jiang Cheng invited Comrade Yu into the house. Comrade Yu also felt that the money should be paid inside, and it would be unreasonable to do it in the yard.

Li Chunxiang followed in happily, carrying a net bag and acting very familiar.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiaojiao was the only one left in the yard. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode!

“I’m so pissed!”

Lin Jiaojiao gave a flying kick, and a piece of honeycomb coal was broken into pieces.

A breeze blew by, and the black coal face blew right into her mouth.

“Pfft——”

"You are such a heartless person! Why don't you kick your own family?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family in the back room put her left hand on her waist, pointed at Lin Jiaojiao with her right hand, and shouted loudly.

"Come out and judge the situation. The Lin family is bullying us!"

At Zhou Dasao's call, several people from the Zhou family and the Lin family came out. Jiang Cheng had also received his salary and was seeing Comrade Yu off.

Comrade Yu left Jiang Cheng's house with a bundle of fresh leeks in his hand and walked lightly.

No wonder the director was thinking about Jiang Cheng, a temporary substitute.

They really know how to get things done.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou was accusing Lin Jiaojiao of kicking the honeycomb coal in their house.

"Today I saw her kick a piece. I didn't see it before. Who knows how many pieces she kicked?"

"Why is there always not enough briquettes in my house? It must be you who kicked it!"

"I don't care. You, the Lin family, must compensate me with fifty pieces of honeycomb briquettes! And make up for the previous amount as well."

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law immediately agreed and complained that their honeycomb coal was always lost.

Lin's mother was so angry that she shouted, "You are slandering me! We have two salaries. Do we need to take your broken honeycomb coal?"

"If you were really lost, you would have told the whole compound about it long ago. Why would you wait until now to tell them? You're just trying to blackmail me!"

Mrs. Zhou felt guilty for a second.

"Stop talking nonsense! This is what your Lin Jiaojiao kicked. If she can kick one, she can kick two!"

One of the two families was unwilling to pay compensation, while the other insisted on blackmailing others. In short, the argument became more and more intense.

Grandpa Sun, the manager of the slum, appears again. Trivial matters like this happen every now and then.

In the end, the Lin family paid the Zhou family ten pieces of honeycomb coal as compensation.

Lin's mother was so angry that she slapped Lin Jiaojiao in the face.

“Pah!”

"Why don't you go back? Wait for me to treat you!"

"Day by day, I really owe you guys!"

Lin Jiaojiao covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Cheng smiling.

On the steps, Jiang Cheng stood with Li Chunxiang on the left and Shen Yue on the bench on the right.

Li Chunxiang was carefully peeling the white silk on the orange. After cleaning it thoroughly, she fed it to Jiang Cheng's mouth.

Shen Yue on the right was peeling melon seeds with great effort. She blew gently on her palm to blow away the skins mixed with the kernels.

A thought flashed through Lin Jiaojiao's mind: it seemed that she really could not defeat Jiang Cheng.

Before she could grab it, Lin's mother pulled her hard.

"Come on in!"

Lin Jiaojiao shouted unwillingly: Mom——

After watching the excitement, Jiang Cheng turned around and went back to the house, and Li Chunxiang and Shen Yue hurriedly followed him.

"Jiang Cheng...what time should I come over today?"

Li Chunxiang was one step faster than Shen Yue and chased after Jiang Cheng to ask.

Shen Yue behind had a stern face, feeling a rising sense of crisis.

If I can peel an orange today, can I peel melon seeds tomorrow?

Is her position of peeling melon seeds going to be replaced? ?

No, she wants to make allies!

Shen Yue ran to find Shen Xing who was doing homework, and closed the door, not knowing what the cricket was doing.

In the main room, Jiang Cheng told Li Chunxiang to come back in an hour.

"Okay, here are the peeled oranges. Take your time to eat them."

Li Chunxiang placed an orange that was completely wrapped in orange peel but without the white threads on it on the table and left happily.

Grandma Shen happened to come over with a rice bowl.

"What kind of confusing soup are you trying to feed me?"

"There's no such thing as a confusing soup! For someone at my level, of course I need a ten-fold tonic pill!"

Jiang Cheng joked, and got up to go around Grandma Shen to help.

The result is that you are extremely disliked.

"You should leave now. You're giving me a headache from walking around! You look so busy, you're even busier than me!"

Actually...didn't do anything!

Jiang Cheng felt guilty for half a second.

But she was thick-skinned and said with a smile: “The main reason is that Grandma Shen is too powerful and can’t use me.”

Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she deftly took out the fried hairtail from the pan. The crispy and fragrant hairtail made Jiang Cheng drool.

"How about I try the saltiness?"

Jiang Cheng asked, and Grandma Shen looked at him with a penetrating look, and pushed the plate over with a look of disdain and pampering, "Yeah."

Jiang Cheng was just about to take a piece when he was interrupted by someone.

"You haven't eaten yet? That's just right. I stewed some minced meat and tofu today for you to try."

Li Chunxiang’s biological mother came over with a bowl of minced meat and tofu, and the smile on her face was something Grandma Shen had never seen before.

"Aunt Li...you are so polite. We have prepared the meal. Please keep it for yourself!"

Jiang Cheng refused, but Li Chunxiang's biological mother insisted on sending him off.

The back and forth made Grandma Shen's eyes hurt.

"I'll eat, I'll eat! Stop pushing me around!"

Grandma Shen took the bowl of minced meat and tofu and poured the dish into her own bowl with swift movements.

Rinse Li Chunxiang's bowl with clean water, and then take out five pieces of hairtail from the hairtail plate and put them in.

"Alright, take it away now!"

Aunt Li immediately said, "No! No! I'm here to deliver food, not to ask for fish."

A new round of pushing and shoving began, and this time it was Jiang Cheng's turn to stand it no longer.

Finally, Li Chunxiang's mother left with three pieces of hairtail.

After Li Chunxiang's mother left, Jiang Cheng brought tofu and set the table.

"Grandma Shen, let's eat."

Grandma Shen came over with the hairtail fish and said beside Jiang Cheng, “Open your mouth!”

"ah?"

Jiang Cheng let out a puzzled cry, and a piece of fish was stuffed into his mouth.

"How salty is it?"

Grandma Shen asked seriously, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Absolutely! Grandma Shen's cooking skills are the best in the world!"

Grandma Shen tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, and said with disdain: “Nonsense... the truth!”

Jiang Cheng: "......"

Grandma Shen, you have changed!

Grandma Shen turned around calmly, and asked with a bit of gossip and curiosity: "What kind of Ten-fold Tonic Pill did you give? That person who didn't see the rabbit but didn't release the eagle, even offered you food on his own initiative?"

Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and whispered, "The machinery factory is hiring."

Grandma Shen suddenly realized and said, "That's Chunxiang's ability. Didn't the girl next door also go? She was very ostentatious on the day of the exam, but she didn't pass in."

Jiang Cheng agreed deeply.

They set the table and Jiang Cheng called Shen Xing and Chen Yue to eat.

Shen Xing in the room responded immediately, interrupting Shen Yue who was mumbling to him.

"Yueyue, Sister Jiang Cheng is calling us to eat."

Shen Yue naturally heard it, and she whispered with high spirits: "Brother, so we must treat Sister Jiang Cheng better, otherwise she will be snatched away!"

"Okay, I get it. You've said it dozens of times."

Shen Yue’s little chubby face turned serious for a second.

"I'm talking about something so important and you're counting!"

Shen Xing: “…”
