Chapter 117 Schemes
Jin Yuyan originally wanted to tell the Shen family about Li Dajun right now, but she changed her mind when she saw Jiang Ning.
She still had to stay in the Shen family and do that thing for Zhou Anze.
But she wants to change the candidate.
Both of them were daughters-in-law of the Shen family, so why did she have to suffer so much during her years of being sent to the countryside, while Jiang Ning lived such a good life!
After the beds were assigned, the family sat down to eat.
Jin Yuyan was the only outsider.
Jiang Ning is growing to like the Shen family more and more. If it were someone else who was unreasonable, Jin Yuyan would have been kicked out of the house right after divorcing her older brother, instead of being allowed to live in the cowshed.
Sometimes people are too kind, and they only get taken advantage of by those who don't appreciate their kindness.
Jiang Ning met Jin Yuyan's gaze more than once, and the jealousy and scheming in the other woman's eyes did not deceive her.
At first, she didn't quite understand where Jin Yuyan's hatred for her came from, but after a month of getting to know her, she could see it clearly even if she didn't understand it at first.
Jealousy can sometimes burn out a person's rationality.
Everything she has now is something Jin Yuyan wants but doesn't have, so she's jealous of herself.
Faced with Jin Yuyan's resentment, she said she wasn't afraid at all, and that many things can't be avoided just by trying.
After dinner, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo took a walk along the paddy field ridges to aid digestion.
"Oh right, don't you have a three-month mission?" Jiang Ning suddenly remembered this, as she had been delayed by various events since meeting Shen Mo yesterday.
Now the two of them finally have a rare moment of relaxation and enjoyment together.
Shen Mo said, "The first phase of the mission is over, and I have three days off."
"Three days?" Jiang Ning counted the days, her eyes widening. "So you're leaving tomorrow?"
Shen Mo looked at his wife and nodded with difficulty, "I have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."
He used to have no sense of time, but now, whenever he's with his wife, time seems to speed up.
Upon learning that Shen Mo was leaving, Jiang Ning cherished the time she spent with him even more.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon being affectionate.
Jiang Ning couldn't sleep that night, so she kept staring at Shen Mo. Finally, she was so sleepy that she couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep in Shen Mo's arms.
The next day, Jiang Ning woke up very late, and when she did, Shen Mo was no longer by her side.
Jiang Ning sat on the bed for a while, feeling lost, before getting up.
When I left the room, the brigade leader's wife was still at home.
When the brigade leader's wife saw that Jiang Ning had gotten up, she smiled and brought out the breakfast that she had saved for Jiang Ning. While Jiang Ning ate breakfast, the brigade leader's wife peeled peanuts next to her.
As she peeled peanuts, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning every now and then.
Jiang Ning could tell from her face that she had something to say, "Aunt Wu, just say what you want to say. I've been staying at your house for a month now, what can't we talk about?"
The captain's wife was also growing increasingly fond of Jiang Ning. Hearing her say this, she couldn't help but chime in, "Dr. Jiang, I saw your sister-in-law getting quite close to Zhou Anze today. They talked for a long time in a grove of trees."
Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Zhou Anze?"
“Yes, Zhou Anze really likes to seduce women. He used to seduce educated youth, but my husband said that recently Zhou Anze has been trying to seduce that widow Zhang in the village, who is the commune’s women’s director,” said the brigade leader’s wife.
"He's probably hooking up with Widow Zhang for the sake of the machinery factory's recruitment quota for returning to the city. Before he gets into any real relationship with that girl Shen Qianqian, you must remind her not to get too close to Zhou Anze."
Jiang Ning took the words of the brigade leader's wife to heart.
After a month of getting to know her, Jiang Ning really wanted to award the captain's wife a medal for intelligence chief. She had heard a lot of explosive gossip from her during that month.
As for Zhou Anze—
Nowadays, educated youth who want to return to the city either need to take the college entrance examination or take advantage of factory recruitment opportunities and rely on recommendation letters from village officials.
Having been in the village for a month, she already knew that all the skincare products Shen Mo bought for his younger sister had been given away by Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian isn't a bad girl, she's just a bit stupid.
She was completely fooled by a man's few words.
Jiang Ning can now roughly figure out why Zhou Anze was flirting with Shen Qianqian. Shen Qianqian had free skincare products that he could use to do favors, thereby obtaining the return-to-city quota.
It's understandable that Zhou Anze deceived Shen Qianqian and seduced the women's director, Widow Zhang, but Jin Yuyan was of no use to him, so why did they get together?
After having breakfast, Jiang Ning went to the cowshed. As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Jin Yuyan talking to Shen Qianqian.
"Qianqian." Jin Yuyan affectionately took Shen Qianqian's hand.
Shen Qianqian frowned and said in a low voice, "You're not my sister-in-law anymore, so don't call me that so affectionately."
Jin Yuyan wasn't annoyed. Anyway, Shen Qianqian was stupid. She said directly, "Qianqian, you may not like me, but you can't dislike the mushrooms and fungus in the mountains, can you? I went to the mountains on the east side today and saw a lot of mushrooms and fungus. Look, I even picked some back. But I can't pick many by myself. Why don't you go and ask Jiang Ning to let us go to the mountains together to pick some more?"
As Jin Yuyan spoke, she pointed to the basket not far away.
Jiang Ning didn't think much of what was being said from outside, but when Jin Yuyan suddenly mentioned her name, she had to be more careful.
This is wrong!
Shen Qianqian indeed saw the mushrooms in the basket not far away and was also somewhat tempted.
"Why don't I go to the mountain with you to pick them? Why ask my sister-in-law to come along?" Shen Qianqian said, already picking up the basket from the house and preparing to go out.
Jin Yuyan grabbed her arm, saying, "Let's call Jiang Ning. Many hands make light work. With one more person, we can pick more. I saw many people heading up the mountain today. If we don't go soon, they'll probably all be picked clean."
Jiang Ning heard Jin Yuyan constantly urging Shen Qianqian to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms together.
Jin Yuyan didn't like her much to begin with.
The more abnormal something is, the more suspicious it is.
"Alright, then I'll go call Second Sister-in-law." Shen Qianqian was persuaded by Jin Yuyan, and she got up and left the cowshed.
When Shen Qianqian walked out of the cowshed, Jiang Ning hid behind the house. Shen Qianqian didn't notice her and went straight to the brigade leader's house.
Seeing Shen Qianqian leave, Jin Yuyan couldn't help but smile. Now that she had resolved things here, it was up to Zhou Anze.
