After much persuasion from Jiang Mingda, Gu Meiyun regained her composure and decided to hide her sharp edges, spend some time with Xu Manzhi, and trick her into giving Yueyue a push.
but--
Her suppressed anger finally erupted after witnessing the devastation caused by Xu Manzhi's rampage.
"I spent 10 yuan to buy a big bluefish, and it all ended up in her stomach?" Gu Meiyun exclaimed.
Jiang Pengyue nodded vigorously.
She swore she hadn't even tasted a single piece of fish skin. She couldn't stop Xu Manzhi from eating fish at a whirlwind speed, leaving no room for anyone to react.
Burp~~
I'm so full.
Xu Manzhi put down her chopsticks and patted her round belly with a satisfied look.
You ate too much meat.
After digesting your food, do some strength training to strengthen your muscles.
Just then, she looked up and caught Gu Meiyun's trembling skin, so she stood up and, before Gu Meiyun could react, spoke first: "I want to ask, when are you planning to hold the marriage with the Zhou family? I'm still waiting to get married."
"You, you—"
A lump formed in Gu Meiyun's throat, neither rising nor falling.
She was so happy she almost died of anger.
Jiang Pengyue was quite upset.
She expected Gu Meiyun to fly into a rage and teach Xu Manzhi a lesson, so she would learn some of the Jiang family's rules. Unfortunately, her plan backfired, and she was instead completely controlled by Gu Meiyun with just a few words.
"Zhizhi, please help me. I'll do whatever you ask, okay?" Jiang Pengyue grabbed her arm and shook it.
Swoosh.
Xu Manzhi pulled her arm back and said unhappily, "Don't pull me like that. I'm just a country bumpkin. I often can't control my own hands and feet. If I hurt you, don't complain."
When the original owner was being reprimanded, the Jiang family members looked at her with pity whenever they mentioned her identity, and that look inflicted a thousand points of damage on the original owner.
However, she likes it.
So what if they're peasants?
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, having the opportunity to enter a wealthy fortress, be in charge of planting in the park, and become a genuine peasant is absolutely the best job imaginable.
"..." Jiang Pengyue.
She found that Xu Manzhi was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
It also shows a bit of letting loose.
“Xu Manzhi, I’m warning you, you’d better not get any ideas. Zhou Xiangqun is not someone like you is good enough for. The Zhou family has strict rules. Do you think you can gain a foothold just by relying on your looks?”
"Tomorrow, Zhou Xiangqun will come to find you and take you to register. You need to cooperate fully, or I won't be so polite."
Gu Meiyun suppressed her anger and launched a barrage of threats.
"Oh." Xu Manzhi.
"What kind of attitude is that?" Gu Meiyun said angrily.
"Okay, okay, Mom, I'll talk to her properly. Don't be angry with her. Let Ayun get you something to eat; we're all hungry." Jiang Pengyue quickly tried to calm things down.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your sister's persuasion, I would have kicked you out of the Jiang family right now. How are you like me and Mingda? You're just like a bastard."
Gu Meiyun launched into a tirade of abuse.
"Oh, if I were a bastard, then you'd be cheating on someone else?" Xu Manzhi pinched her chin, looking serious as she pondered.
Just then, Jiang Mingda walked in.
Her retort, delivered without hesitation, pierced his ears with every word.
"Ah, you bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart—"
Gu Meiyun went berserk.
But before she could rush forward, Jiang Pengyue grabbed her waist.
"Mom, Mom, calm down. She always talks nonsense. She's upright and has nothing to hide. We all know your character."
Jiang Pengyue repeatedly tried to persuade her.
"Have you been fooling around enough?" Jiang Mingda's eyes were sharp.
Xu Manzhi repeatedly danced in his minefield.
Even he, who was known as a "ninja," was so angry that his eyelids rolled back.
"I didn't cause any trouble," Xu Manzhi said innocently.
The silence at this moment is as cold as snow in winter.
Jiang Mingda pulled Gu Meiyun away.
As soon as he entered the room, his face turned grim. "Didn't I tell you before, don't make things too ugly with her lately? She's very wicked, and she might ruin Yueyue's marriage."
The Jiang family can't withstand any more turmoil.
Without the Zhou family's help, the youngest son might not have been able to get out.
"I didn't, it was her—"
Okay.
Jiang Mingda was clearly getting impatient.
His face turned ashen, and he glanced at his wife. Gu Meiyun knew what was going on and shut her mouth.
“I’ve asked a lot of people to make connections. It’s not that Jiuhe’s matter can’t be handled, but it requires the Zhou family’s involvement. That way, we can avoid losing 100,000 yuan,” he said.
"So many?" Gu Meiyun exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Mingda was also in a depressed mood.
In the afternoon, he met with Zhou Xiangqun, the future son-in-law, who was very enthusiastic and said he would do his best to help Jiang Jiuhe, but his fiancée had to make the money she handed over part of her dowry.
That's a whopping 300,000!
He felt the pinch.
"30 it is then. It was originally intended for Yueyue anyway." Gu Meiyun was quite open-minded.
"What about Xu Manzhi? You're not planning to give her to me?" he asked.
"Her? I don't have a single penny!"
What kind of dowry does this unfilial daughter want?
Once Xu Manzhi marries Yan Lin, she will definitely be going to the border to join the army, and there's a high chance she'll never have the chance to return to Haicheng. This relationship will be completely severed.
Giving a dowry to a jinx like her? She's not stupid.
Jiang Mingda nodded.
That was exactly what he was thinking.
Just to prevent Xu Manzhi from causing trouble, he was going to accompany her throughout the entire marriage registration process, and also to give the neighborhood committee a heads-up beforehand to avoid any slip-ups.
The entire Jiang family suffered from insomnia all night.
The stench from the snake was overwhelming.
When the wind blew, the smell filled the house. Under the moonlight, the snakes swayed in the wind. They were afraid that if one of them came to life, it would be poisonous and they would send it to its death!
