Chapter 56 Is there something else behind my life?

He thought for a while before saying, "Yes. But it's normal for Juan'er to change like this. Have you forgotten that two years ago she went into the mountains alone to find the old ox that was lost in the commune? Normally, which girl would dare to do that?"

She used to be submissive in the Xia family, wasn't it because of us two, her parents? Even if she resisted, we didn't support her, but let her suffer more. Now that she is married, the man she married is willing to protect her, doesn't she have the confidence? She is not afraid of Li Cuihua! Alas... in the end, it's all our fault!"

Lin Yuru nodded and said, "Ah! Let's not talk about anything else. Juan'er married a disabled husband, and we didn't protect Juan'er's recommendation for a place in college. We will be sorry to Juan'er for the rest of our lives!"

Now it seems that Xia Juanjuan's marriage can be considered a blessing in disguise. At least it is much better than living in the Xia family!

But her man had flaws after all, and Lin Yuru felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about it.

As for the fact that their university recommendation place was taken away by Xia Fangfang, they couldn't make up for it no matter what they did!

That opportunity was gained by their daughter risking her life to go to the mountains to find the old yellow cow. It was her only and best chance to change her fate! But Xia Fangfang snatched it away!

Lin Yuru raised her hand to wipe her tears and could not help but murmur, "Alas... Although Juan'er is not my biological daughter, I was so happy when I found her outside the town that year that I had to bring her home to raise myself, thinking that I must treat her as my own daughter. Unfortunately, I was weak and timid, and in the end I failed to be a good mother! If I had not been so selfish at the time and sent her to a better family to raise, she would not have suffered so much with us..."

Xia Shuangshan sighed and said, "Why are you bringing this up again? If Juan'er knew that her biological parents didn't want her and abandoned her, how sad would she be? It was God's will that we picked her up back then. She has suffered so much injustice over the years, and no matter how much we say now, it can't be undone. From now on... we can never let our daughter down again!"

Xia Juanjuan didn't know about the conversation between Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru on the way back, and of course she didn't know that there was any other hidden story about the original owner's life experience.

In the evening, she used the leftover bamboo shoots and sausage to make stir-fried bamboo shoots with sausage, and boiled four hard-boiled eggs. She also made fried dumplings with the leftover dumplings from lunch, and paired them with large white steamed buns. It was another sumptuous dinner.

At this moment, facing the fence wall that had been built in just one afternoon, Liu Lan's face became even gloomier.

This vixen is still alive! The courtyard wall has been put up! Who are they protecting from?

It looks like she has to deal with Xia Juanjuan quickly!

If those rumors didn't spread last time, then... make the rumors into facts that have been nailed on the wall. Then, she will see how that vixen Xia Juanjuan will defend herself and get away with it!

Liu Lan thought about it, silently planning another vicious plan in her heart.

At this time, Li Qiaoqiao came back in a gloomy mood.

Liu Lan was furious and cursed in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao! What were you doing out there? You just came back after dark. Don't you know that people in the village are spreading bad things about you? You are an unmarried girl, do you still have any shame?"

Li Qiaoqiao was scolded but did not say anything back. She went back to the room, lay on the bed and covered her face with the quilt.

After Liu Lan finished scolding, she regretted that she had scolded too harshly. After all, she was her daughter, and there was a high possibility that she would marry Xu Zhiqing in the future and her household registration would be transferred to the city to work as a worker!

She was counting on this daughter to take her to the city to live a good life in the future!

Therefore, she softened her tone and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Who wronged you out there? Mom will find her tomorrow to vent your anger!"

Li Qiaoqiao then sat up and cried, "Mom, I told Brother Jiayuan about our affair and it seems that Xia Juanjuan saw it. He told me not to go to him for a while because he was afraid of gossip! It's all because of that little whore Xia Juanjuan. Now Brother Jiayuan doesn't want to be friends with me anymore!"

When Liu Lan heard this, her face turned pale.

She was smart all her life, so how come her daughter is so stupid?

How could Xu Jiayuan be angry because Xia Juanjuan saw him? It was obvious that he had gotten away with it, so his thoughts on Li Qiaoqiao faded and he wanted to run away!

It seems that she can't wait for Xu Jiayuan to return to the city, so she has to find a way to force Xu Jiayuan to admit his mistake. Even if they don't get married first, she can't let Qiaoqiao be dumped!

Early the next morning, Xia Juanjuan got up and went to the town again.

She thought about it and decided to find a way to go to the county, at least to find out the situation in the county and the black market, so that she could find a way to sell supplies later.

Going to the county is different from going to the town. You need a letter of introduction from the village. She didn't have a good reason, so even if Secretary Zhao was a good person, it would be difficult for him to give her one. It was winter in the village, so there was no reason at all, so she had to go to the town to think of a solution.

After thinking about it, Xia Juanjuan actually already had a general direction to work towards.

So when she arrived in town, she went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was named Zheng. He had a good impression of Xia Juanjuan and knew that she was a military dependent. When he saw her coming, he asked with a smile, "Are you the daughter-in-law of the Li family? What are you going to buy this time? If it's a big item, please tell me in advance so that I can prepare it for you."

Xia Juanjuan also asked: "Director, I may need to buy a bicycle in the spring of next year, a second-hand one is fine, Director, can you get some goods?"

Director Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "One hundred and fifty-one Phoenix brand bicycles are needed, and even miscellaneous brands are worth seventy or eighty! Can your man's allowance buy them all?"

Xia Juanjuan nodded and smiled, "I am saving money by eating frugally. Mainly because the kid at home will go to school next spring. There is only one elementary school in the town within a few dozen miles of us. It takes a lot of time to walk there, and it is hard for the kid. I can save a few months' money and buy a comparable school. Why should I let the kid suffer like this?"

Upon hearing this, Director Zheng was deeply moved: "Mrs. Li, you are so kind to these little guys. I'm afraid you treat them better than their biological parents! It's their good fortune to be adopted by you!"

Xia Juanjuan did not talk about this topic anymore, and asked naturally: "Director, do you have any plans to go to the county to purchase goods recently? If so, can I go with you?

I don’t know if my husband will be able to come back for the New Year this year. I am worried about him and I am thinking of going to the military contact point in the county to ask. Although I can also ask through the village, but... this kind of thing is a bit embarrassing... I want to be frank because this matter requires a letter of introduction to the county, and it is not easy to get Secretary Zhao, so I want to borrow the excuse of your supply and marketing cooperative to purchase goods... I have been good at arithmetic since I was a child, so I can help!"
