“But I want to break off the engagement!” Jiang San Niang stood at the head of Yu Ziqing’s bed, looking down at the man on the bed, the man she had loved for five or six years.
"Cough!" Yu Ziqing was so choked by Jiang Sanniang's words that he couldn't speak. A breath got stuck in his throat, and he could only cough and stutter as he spoke, "What did you say? No, no, Sanniang, you don't want to break off the engagement, right? You're just angry with me, right?"
How did things turn out this way? He only wanted to teach Jiang San Niang a lesson; he never intended to annul the engagement. Didn't Jiang San Niang always say she loved him? How could she just annul the engagement like that?
"I do want to break off the engagement, but I'm not angry!" Jiang Sanniang said calmly. What was there for her to be angry about? She was just anxious and heartbroken.
Yes, she was heartbroken. She was just as anxious as she was when Yu Ziqing was taken away by Bai Nuo and the others. Even after so many days, Jiang San Niang still felt like she hadn't recovered.
She couldn't blame Bai Nuo, because Bai Nuo was innocent. She was just sitting in the shop when Yu Ziqing came knocking. It really was like the saying, "Sitting at home, trouble comes out of nowhere." What did Bai Nuo do to deserve this?
She couldn't blame Hu Mingmei, because Hu Mingmei was only standing up for Bai Nuo. If someone treated Jiang Qiao'er like that, she would have stood up for Jiang Qiao'er just like Hu Mingmei did.
She didn't even want to blame Yu Ziqing; what was the point of blaming him?
After thinking it over, she realized she could only blame herself. If she hadn't been so weak and hadn't been brave enough to stand up for her sister and friends when they were bullied, they wouldn't have been so worried about her. Bai Nuo and Jiang Qiao'er had been beaten twice already. If she had been more ruthless and severed ties with them, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
She clearly knows that the other person doesn't like her, so why does she keep trying to get close to them?
She appears to be perfectly fine, but all the suffering she has endured is borne by her friends and sister. How much have they borne for her? Jiang San Niang herself has lost count.
It's all her fault!
"You're not angry, so why do you still want to break off the engagement?" Yu Ziqing asked疑惑地, then suddenly her gaze fell on Bai Nuo, Lu Ying, and Xia Donglai, and she suddenly realized something. "Did they force you? Third Sister, don't be afraid. If they forced you, just tell me, and I can report it to the authorities!"
Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities again!
Jiang San Niang said calmly, "Go report to the authorities? Can you even get up?"
"Me!" Yu Ziqing stammered. He really couldn't get up right now, and saying he would report to the authorities was just to appease Jiang San Niang.
He really couldn't understand why they had to break off the engagement. He had been good enough to Jiang San Niang, he admitted. His mother did have some complaints about San Niang because she was getting a bit old, so his mother had never been very satisfied with that, but that was all.
"Third Sister, do you think my mother treats you badly?" Yu Ziqing asked again. "It's okay, I'll talk to my mother, okay? All mothers-in-law are like this, can you just bear with it?"
Bear it for a while?
How could she possibly endure it? Jiang San Niang was almost laughing in exasperation at Yu Ziqing. He wanted her to just bear with it? How could she possibly endure it? How long could she endure it? She didn't want to endure it anymore.
Jiang Sanniang glanced behind her and saw Zhang Jiyue walking weakly toward her, seemingly still crying. Jiang Sanniang immediately smiled.
"I'm not going to put up with it anymore. My aunt doesn't like me, so why should I bother to make her dislike me? Alright, I'll go find my marriage certificate myself. You should get some rest!" With that, Jiang San Niang walked to the side and opened the wardrobe door.
This wardrobe was also custom-made by her, but now it looks so ridiculous!
"Jiang San Niang, don't touch Zi Qing's things! This is Zi Qing's room!" No one expected that just as Jiang San Niang was about to open the wardrobe door, Zhang Ji Yue rushed over from the doorway, threw herself on Jiang San Niang, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and hugged Jiang San Niang's waist tightly, not letting her move an inch!
Bai Nuo wanted to help, but Jiang Qiao'er grabbed her arm. Bai Nuo looked at Jiang Qiao'er in confusion, and Jiang Qiao'er said with a smile, "My sister is not a pushover. The reason you thought she looked like a pushover before was just because she was being silly. Now that she's not silly anymore, my original sister has come back."
Too!
Bai Nuo stopped thinking. How could Jiang San Niang be a pushover? If Jiang San Niang were a pushover, she wouldn't be able to manage such a large cloth shop. She had underestimated her.
"Is all you can do is cry?" When Zhang Jiyue and Jiang Sanniang were standing, Jiang Sanniang was much taller than Zhang Jiyue. Now that Zhang Jiyue was lying on the ground with her lower body and hugging herself with her upper body, Jiang Sanniang had to bend over to look at Zhang Jiyue.
Zhang Jiyue looked at Jiang Sanniang with confusion, not understanding what Jiang Sanniang meant.
Jiang Sanniang looked at her mockingly, "Have you ever been a little tough? I mean, stop crying all the time, stop pretending to be weak all the time? You don't look like a weak person at all!"
“I…” Zhang Jiyue wiped away her tears. “Please don’t touch Yu Ziqing’s things!” After being looked at like that by Jiang Sanniang, Zhang Jiyue stopped calling him “Brother Ziqing” and started calling him by his full name.
"It looks much better this way!" Jiang Sanniang asked with a smile. "But what does this have to do with you? Who are you to him?"
