In her previous life, Jiang Yao fell in love too early and failed to get into university (of course, there may not be a necessary connection between the two).
After breaking up with her early love, she met a gangster and was deceived by him to go to North City to make a movie and become a star. However, when she came back, she was sick with a lot of hidden diseases.
The eldest brother spent all his savings on her medical treatment. She recovered, but she couldn't marry into a good family. The man he married often abused her. She ran away from home and was never found until Jiang Yi died.
In this life, she must never be allowed to make the same mistake again.
As for the eldest brother, he went to Pengcheng three times. Although he made some money, he also had many worries. He had someone else outside and wanted to divorce his eldest sister-in-law. After the divorce, the business failed and the woman ran away. He turned back to ask his eldest sister-in-law to remarry him, but his eldest sister-in-law ignored him. It can be said that his later years were miserable.
If you could do it again, what would you choose, brother?
"Sister, what are you talking about? I'd rather you stay with us every day." Jiang Yao still had an innocent smile on her face.
It’s great to be young.
"Maybe." Jiang Yi said ambiguously.
My eldest brother lives in the dormitory of a government agency. It is sublet by a retired cadre who returned to the countryside for retirement. The rent is cheap, the security is good, and the community is well managed.
There is also a small yard downstairs where people grow vegetables.
Jiang Yi had come here twice in her previous life, and now she felt as if she were in a different world.
"mom!"
A middle-aged woman who was bending over to pick vegetables in the small courtyard turned around, paused for a moment, and smiled. "Are you here? Go inside quickly. The sun is strong here. Don't let the small fruits get damaged by the sun. I'll pick some radishes and will be back soon."
Jiang Yi rolled up her sleeves and walked over, "Mom, I'll help you."
Xu Cuilian glanced at her and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yang carried the luggage and Jiang Yao went up first with the child in her arms.
"Mom, you are so capable. You grow so many vegetables." There are radishes, garlic, cabbage, kale, lettuce, coriander and onions.
Seeing her high spirits, Xu Cuilian felt relieved and said, "This is nothing. There are more of them planted in the village."
Jiang Yi raised the corner of her mouth, "Do you really think I'm praising you? The doctor said you shouldn't work too hard."
Xu Cuilian has a bad heart and was hospitalized last year.
She spoke in a soft voice, with a weak breath, and said with a smile, "Mom, you know your limits. Help me pick up the vegetables."
"Okay~" Jiang Yi likes to eat coriander, so she picked a big handful before leaving.
My eldest brother’s house is on the second floor, with three bedrooms and a living room, about 100 square meters.
"Yiyi is here." The eldest sister-in-law came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. "Take a break. Dinner will be available soon."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I was just joking with my brother. I'm not hungry." Jiang Yi said with a smile, "My sister-in-law has become younger."
Isn’t it true? Compared with the resentful woman in the past, the sister-in-law is now smiling, simple, and so lively.
"Your mouth is so sweet, it must be filled with candy."
"I'm serious."
Jiang Xiaoshan, the five-year-old nephew, ran over with a bag of White Rabbit candy in his hand, his eyes rolling, "Aunt, please have some candy."
It's obvious that he wants to eat it.
Hearing that there was candy, Xiao Guozi woke up and jumped off the sofa, "Brother Shanshan, I want some too."
The two little friends soon started playing together.
"Sister, will you sleep in the same room with me tonight?"
Xu Cuilian took Shanshan to sleep, and Jiang Yi said, "Okay."
Jiang Yao happily moved the suitcase to her room, "Sister, what's in it? Why is it so heavy? I thought you were moving."
Jiang Yi thought that Jiang Yao was a talkative person, so she wouldn't tell her.
Lunch included Jiang Yi's favorite boiled chicken, garlic pork ribs, fried dried fish, hot and sour cabbage, and coriander rolls. "Sister-in-law, you've made me picky. What should I do in the future?"
"Then come and eat often."
My sister-in-law is a great cook and she even opened a small restaurant.
"Let's have hotpot tonight," said Jiang Yao.
Xu Cuilian poked her forehead with her finger. "You only know how to eat. The final exam is coming soon. How are you studying for your lessons?"
Jiang Yao will be a senior in high school next year.
"I know, I know. You don't have to scold me every time. It's rare for me to come back, so just let me go for two meals."
Everybody was talking and laughing.
Jiang Yang said, "It would be nice to have hotpot tonight. Nie Can can come too, and bring the camera Yiyi asked for."
If her brother hadn’t told her, Jiang Yi would have almost forgotten about it.
"Okay, we can take pictures now that we have a camera." Jiang Yao is at the age when she likes taking pictures.
At this time, not many families have cameras.
"Nie Can?" Xu Cuilian frowned slightly, "Is he your former comrade-in-arms? Are you still in touch?"
Judging from my mother's attitude, she seems unwilling for them to have any contact.
"Mom, that thing has passed, and the truth is not what you think. I can trust Nie Can," Jiang Yang said.
That incident refers to the incident three years ago when Nie Can had an improper relationship with his superior's wife and was expelled from the army because of it.
He was already the head of the group at that time.
Although it was told to the outside world that he was retired normally, the matter was already an open secret.
I heard that after retiring from the army, he started to make money in shady businesses, such as speculation, profiteering, smuggling, keeping henchmen, etc. He was active at various docks and often traveled between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macau. Some people also said that he had killed more than one person. In short, the rumors were all nonsense.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and no one has any evidence. Otherwise, how could he still be at large?
But Jiang Yi lived for the next thirty years and heard some news about him.
This person has actually been to jail!
After half a year, he was released and re-joined the army. He was in the same northern theater as Lu Yunxiao and his rank was higher than Lu Yunxiao.
You say God is not magical.
Jiang Yi had some speculations, because when he was in jail, the largest smuggling group in the country was arrested.
But no matter what, such a legendary figure is not someone that ordinary people like them can mess with.
"It's better to avoid associating with people who have such problematic work styles. It won't be good if your factory leaders find out," said Xu Cuilian.
