Chapter 8
Meng Jinyu picked her ears hard.
What did the child just say?
That she also has a stepmother?
Meng Jinyu panicked immediately and her legs started to go weak. Could she have been discovered?
Erni listened to Youyou's words and asked in confusion: "Isn't Youyou's mother her biological mother?"
To avoid alerting the enemy, Youyou scratched the tip of her nose: "But she was not nice to Youyou. She was really bad."
Meng Jinyu raised her eyebrows.
Is this bad for her?
She still has a long way to go in the future!
I guess the child will never know the truth.
It was such a mysterious thing that no matter how smart she was, she couldn't guess the clues.
As she thought about it, Meng Jinyu quickened her pace.
The bus to town does not stop at the entrance of Fenglin Village, you have to go a little further.
Although it is autumn, it is particularly hot today for some reason, and the sun is making Meng Jinyu feel irritable.
She slowed down and wiped the sweat off her face, but suddenly, she heard a rumbling sound in her ears.
The bus drove away in a flash.
"Wait! Wait! I haven't gotten on the car yet!" Meng Jinyu waved her hands vigorously and shouted.
The bus had no ears and the driver was so arrogant that he didn't stop at all.
Meng Jinyu stomped her feet hard, and the ankle that was sprained by her mother-in-law that day began to ache again.
"hiss--"
At this time, a head popped out of the car window.
The ticket seller in a green uniform glanced at her with disdain and indifference.
Meng Jinyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was just a ticket seller, what was so great about that?
From now on, she will drive a luxury car, and even have a driver to pick her up when she goes out!
…
Erni and Youyou had a lot of fun.
The two children first played games with their friends, and then went to the back mountain to pick wild fruits to eat. By the time they returned home, it was almost noon.
Erni never thought that she would be able to go out and play again.
Normally at home, she didn't even dare to speak loudly and was very cautious all day long. But now, it was as if she had thrown away all the bitterness of the past few months, and only sweetness was left.
But it's time to go home.
Erni's mood became heavy: "Youyou, I'm going home to cook."
She parted with Youyou, looking back every few steps.
Finally, he let out a soft sigh as he watched Youyou’s figure turning into a small dot.
Erni arrived at the door of her house and saw Jiang Aiqiu coming out.
Erni was used to such disdainful looks. As long as her stepmother didn't secretly twist her thighs and arms, she was afraid of pain.
Jiang Aiqiu glanced at her coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and get to work?"
Erni quickly lowered her head and walked quickly into the house.
"Sister Erni!" The little baby's voice was sweet and clear, full of energy.
Jiang Ai Qiu and Er Ni were stunned and looked behind them at the same time.
At this time, a small figure appeared.
Youyou seemed to be riding on a Hot Wheels, running over with a "da da da da" sound, and her bangs on her forehead were flying.
Jiang Aiqiu had a bad feeling in his heart.
Youyou ran to Erni and finally caught her breath: "Sister Erni, we still have to come out to play tomorrow."
Erni clenched her hands tightly, almost turning her fingertips white.
Going out to play tomorrow - that won’t work, my stepmother won’t agree.
However, before she could open her mouth to refuse, she saw Jiang Ai Qiu smiling gently.
"Of course, Erni will play with you every day just like before."
"That's great!" Youyou's eyes curved into crescent shapes and a sweet smile appeared on her little face.
Jiang Aiqiu smiled and said to Erni: "Erni, come in quickly. It will be time for dinner soon."
Erni looked at Jiang Aiqiu flattered, her little body shivering.
Is her stepmother going to become a better person?
After Xiaotuanzi escorted Sister Erni home, he was ready to go back himself.
Youyou put her hands behind her back, looked in the right direction, and walked home in a swagger.
But after she had been gone for a long time, Jiang Ai Qiu came running over.
Jiang Ai Qiu caught up with Youyou only after he was sure that Erni had entered the house and would not come out again.
At this moment, she was out of breath, and patted the child's shoulder "respectfully": "You didn't say anything to Erni, did you?"
Youyou blinked: "No."
The heavy stone that was hanging on Jiang Aiqiu's heart was finally put down.
Children have bad memories, it seems she forgot.
Just forget it. There are many gossipy people in the village. If this child tells someone, it will spread from one person to ten people and a hundred people to ten people. It will not be good to hear about it.
"Okay, you can go back." Jiang Ai Qiu said with a smile.
Youyou nodded vigorously, took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned back: "When will Uncle Liang come back?"
"Next month," Jiang Aiqiu answered absentmindedly. Suddenly, his nerves tensed up and he grabbed Youyou's wrist. "You won't tell Erni's dad, will you?"
Erni's father loved his child, but the work of a carpenter had limitations. Sometimes he would be away from home and not be able to come back for ten days or half a month. That's why he found a stepmother for the child, hoping that she would help take care of her.
The child is timid and won’t say anything, but if Youyou tells Erni’s father about this…
Jiang Ai Qiu didn't even dare to think about it.
"Youyou has a good memory." Youyou said in a baby voice, and then she pulled back her chubby wrist with her little hand, "I won't forget it."
She really had to go home.
There is also a stepmother at home, and the responsible sister Youyou is going home to protect her younger brother!
Even after Youyou walked a long way away, Jiang Ai Qiu was still standing there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Was this child threatening me just now? She has a good memory, and she might tell Erni's father everything she heard...
However, as long as she is a little nicer to Erni, the child should be fine, right?
Judging from his appearance, he is only four or five years old. How could he possibly cause such a big fuss?
I have to admit that Jiang Ai Qiu was getting more and more scared. Her brain was almost at a standstill and all she could think about was Youyou's expression and actions just now.
In any case, Jiang Ai Qiu will not be able to sleep well tonight.
Moreover, as a stepmother, she will also restrain herself temporarily.
…
At this time, in the town supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Huanming was sitting at his workstation in his office, concentrating on writing materials.
He is the only rural person in the office.
These days, people in the city are very arrogant and look down on him, always mocking him in their words and deeds.
He understood that his fellow workers always loved to make fun of his background.
What's wrong with coming from the countryside? If you count a few generations ago, every ancestor of yours was a peasant!
Although he came from a poor family, he was able to get into a good company with his own abilities. Who wouldn't say he is capable?
"Huanming, do you remember the aunt who came to buy cloth a few days ago?" a co-worker came over and asked.
Jiang Huanming naturally remembered that incident.
At that time, an old woman came to buy cloth, but the cloth coupons she brought were not enough, and she became very anxious. In the end, it was he who resolved the dispute.
Seeing that Jiang Huanming had a memory, his coworker laughed and teased: "The auntie came again this morning and asked the salesperson named Xiaoli in a roundabout way what degree you have, saying that she wants to introduce you to someone."
This is not the first time this has happened.
Jiang Huanming is in his early thirties. He looks reliable, energetic, and has a good job, so people often want to introduce him to someone.
Unfortunately——
His eyes dimmed.
"Did Xiaoli tell anyone that Huanming has a wife in the countryside?"
"Of course I told him. Huanming already has four children. If I don't tell him, wouldn't that be hurting the lesbian?"
"Huanming's wife is very virtuous. She is a woman who takes good care of four children at home."
Of course, fellow workers would not say anything disparaging to his face, but this mixture of blatant praise and covert criticism was enough to make Jiang Huanming feel upset.
His wife is uneducated and vulgar, and even he looks down on her. How can others not laugh at her?
Jiang Huanming had no way of breaking off relations with the other party, so he could only laugh dryly and speak incoherently.
But at this moment, there were a few "bang bang bang" sounds coming from outside.
The office of the supply and marketing cooperative is not closed on weekdays. It is just behind the counter. Sometimes salesmen and leaders will come in, but they never knock on the door.
Everyone looked outside the office in surprise.
A graceful figure came over.
Why is she here?
Jiang Huanming stared at Meng Jinyu in a daze.
To be fair, his wife is quite pretty, and it was her gentle looks that made him, a high school student, decide to marry her.
But later in life, he found that it was not the case at all. Besides, she was reluctant to spend money on cold cream or new clothes. No matter how beautiful her face was, she couldn't stand not dressing up.
But who could have thought that she had changed so much in such a short time.
Her skin is fair and delicate, her hair is combed smoothly, she is wearing clean and tidy clothes, and she has a pleasant smile.
Just like a city person, he is very elegant and graceful.
"Comrade, do you want to buy something? The counter is in front." The worker who had just ridiculed Jiang Huanming stood up and said politely.
Meng Jinyu smiled and shook her head: "No, I came to find my husband."
husband?
These two words are like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Then, when Meng Jinyu walked to Jiang Huanming, everyone was excited.
Who would have thought that Jiang Huanming's vulgar and hot-tempered rural wife actually looked like——
very nice!
And for Jiang Huanming, this day was also the proudest day after his marriage.
I never thought that his wife could satisfy his vanity.
Meng Jinyu stood beside Jiang Huanming and listened to his co-workers talking and laughing.
Only when she had time did she quietly raise her eyes and catch a glimpse of the satisfied smile on Jiang Huanming's lips.
It seems that we are closer to success.
After she buys a bicycle for Jiang Huanming, the relationship between them will definitely get better and better.
…
Jiang Shan is still young and doesn’t know how long two or three hours is. He only knows that from the time he woke up until now, he has been practicing speaking!
He held the mirror in his little hand and pointed it at his own mouth: "Ah-ah-ah-ah-"
This is what Meng Jinyu taught him.
Meng Jinyu said that he was not born unable to speak, but he just had not learned it yet. As long as he practiced hard, he would definitely succeed.
Shanshan tried hard to figure it out by herself, opening her mouth wide. When she looked up at the mirror with her chin up, she could see her throat and her lips were sore.
But even though he was very tired, the little guy still didn't want to give up.
He really wanted to work harder so that his sister could see how great he would be after he succeeded.
With a "click", the old wooden door of the house was pushed open.
Someone is back!
His mother said that he should not let anyone know that he was learning to speak, but should work hard quietly and give everyone a surprise.
Shanshan remembered it, and he immediately hid the mirror under his pillow in a flash.
As for himself——
It’s too late!
A moment later, Youyou came into the room.
When she looked over, she saw her brother curled up his little body into a ball, with his little butt sticking out, his hands covering his ears, and his eyes tightly closed.
Youyou stood there and looked for a long time: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Shanshan shook her head quickly, making it look like a rattle, with her face still red.
When the day comes when he learns to speak, he will definitely give his sister a big surprise!
Looking at Shanshan's appearance, the little girl tilted her head.
Sister Youyou is increasingly unable to understand kids nowadays!
At this time, little Dumpling never thought that soon her stepmother would make trouble again.
But it doesn't matter.
Whoever wants to shoot himself in the foot can do so. It won't be Youyou's feet that will be shot anyway.
It doesn't hurt!
