Haijuan also works at the steel plant. She is 32 years old, two years older than Jiang Chuanjun.
She was an accountant at the steel plant, divorced and childless. On the first day Jiang Chuanjun reported to the factory, he was spotted by Haijuan.
Haijuan is a proud person. Although she is divorced, she has high standards! In the past few years since her divorce, many people have introduced her to remarry, but none of them suits her taste.
The other party is either divorced and has children, or is much older than her.
Or they are young and getting married for the first time, but their family is not well off and they are extremely poor.
Haijuan doesn't like any of them. She always wants to find a guy of similar age and appearance, preferably a first-time marriage, who also has to have a job, a good family, and no burden.
Jiang Chuanjun met all the requirements: he was a tall, energetic young man. When he reported to the steel plant, he was less than 30 years old and single.
Isn't this the kind of person you want as a life partner?
Haijuan fell in love with Jiang Chuanjun and tried to please him in every way, but Jiang Chuanjun was always cold and ignored her feelings.
Haijuan was naturally unhappy, but after observing for a while, she found that Jiang Chuanjun was like this to everyone. Even when the young and beautiful Huang Yufeng later had a good impression of him, Jiang Chuanjun did not show any expression, which made Haijuan relieved.
It’s not that he doesn’t have feelings for himself, but he is like this with everyone. We are all the same, so it’s fair competition!
She never expected to run into Jiang Chuanjun talking and laughing with another woman in the department store.
She was so angry and jealous that she couldn't help but ran up to stop the two of them and questioned them.
"You are so funny, you talk as if he is someone to you."
Jiang Yan also understood that Haijuan probably just liked her brother and mistook her for a love rival.
This incident started with Huang Yufeng and then Haijuan. Why are they all targeting her?
"Who are you to him?"
Haijuan was in the wrong. She was just Jiang Chuanjun's colleague and had no right to interfere in his affairs.
But so what? Just because it's not the case now doesn't mean it won't be the case in the future. There's certainly no reason for her to give up the man she likes.
"You little bitch, where did you come from?"
As soon as Haijuan said this, Jiang Yan guessed that this woman must have a strong backer, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant and curse people in public.
"Brother, she scolded me."
elder brother?
Haijuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, "She, she is your sister?"
Without waiting for Jiang Chuanjun to speak, Jiang Yan reached out and pushed Hai Juan, "With someone like you, you still want to marry into our family? Dream on! I'm warning you, stay away from my brother in the future."
"No, I misunderstood. I..."
"Comrade Haijuan, I hope this is the last time. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we can just be ordinary co-workers. Although I am about the same age as you, I have no intention of starting a family for the time being. Also, you have had a failed marriage, so you should be more cautious when you remarry."
Haijuan's face turned red and then pale. She didn't expect Jiang Chuanjun to speak so harshly.
The onlookers were all excited and pointed at Haijuan.
"Second marriage, no wonder."
"She looks old. She has fallen for a young man and wants to rely on him."
"I've never seen such a shameless person. The brother and sister are both very well-mannered. If it were me, I would give her a slap in the face..."
Haijuan was angry and anxious, her face was burning, she turned around and ran away, she was too embarrassed to stay here.
Like a sick person!
Jiang Yan and Jiang Chuanjun also hurried to buy other things. As soon as they left, the crowd who were watching the excitement around them also dispersed.
The two hung the gifts on the handlebars, and on the way home, Jiang Yan and Jiang Chuanjun had a good talk.
"Brother, I think you should try to come out."
Jiang Yan pulled her scarf down. "If they knew you were living in the shadow of the past and couldn't get out of it, they would blame you! These are great times, and China is getting better and better. You keep sealing off your heart and love like this every day. Do you really want to live alone until the end of your life?"
Jiang Chuanjun still didn't say anything, obviously not taking her words into account.
"I know you feel guilty. But it's not your fault, and you should also think about your uncle and aunt. Your second brother is gone, and they only have you."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Chuanjun remained silent, but Jiang Yan could feel that he was a little shaken.
"Think about it carefully, isn't that the truth? Grandpa and grandma are old, and even though they don't say it, they must be worried in their hearts! And, that Hai, Haijuan, I think she won't cry until she sees the coffin, and she is really determined to get you. What if you accidentally fall into her trap, what should you do?"
"cannot!"
"Even tigers take naps! Besides, if you have a girlfriend, you can make her give up, right? Having a family always gives you more security."
"Let me think about it."
Jiang Yan didn't force him. It would be best if he could figure it out. If he couldn't, he could only continue to wait. However, it would definitely be a pity for his aunt, grandparents.
"Then you go back. I'll go by myself. It's faster on a bike."
Jiang Chuanjun experienced what it means to be a tool man.
"Okay, slow down."
"Okay, brother, you go back." Jiang Yan got on his bicycle and ran away.
Jiang Chuanjun didn't know where to go, so he walked slowly towards home, Jiang Yan's words going over in his mind over and over again.
If they knew that you are living in the shadow of the past and can't get out of it, they will blame you!
The second brother is gone, and they only have you...
Yes, they only have this one hope.
It was cold. Jiang Chuanjun reached out to straighten his hat. He stood at the intersection, looking into the distance in a daze, not knowing where to go.
The sky is gray and it looks like it's going to snow.
Suddenly, a few familiar faces appeared in the distance of the road. They were wearing military uniforms and their faces were red from the cold, but the smiles on their faces were so sincere and lively.
"Sanjin, Huzi, Desheng..."
Jiang Chuanjun knew that it was his own hallucination and he dared not move. These people were all sleeping in a foreign land, so how could they appear here?
He missed them so much.
Jiang Chuanjun's vision was a little blurry, and he quickly wiped away the tears in his eyes, fearing that those people would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Captain, we are fine!"
"Captain, you must live well and live for us."
"Captain, have you got married? Give birth to a big fat boy and bring him to see us when you have time."
The smoke of the battlefield had dissipated, the sound of military bugles faded away, and those vivid faces waved at him before their figures finally disappeared.
The military songs were loud, and those figures finally left. Jiang Chuanjun took off his hat and saluted his comrades who were leaving.
The snow finally fell, just like his tears...
