Chapter 19 Unconsciously Entered My Heart
When the people working in the yard saw Gu Dongqing, they hurried out.
He had a limp, but he walked very fast.
He came forward with a flattering smile on his face, "Brother Dong, why are you here?" Then he used his patched sleeves as a rag to wipe the stone bench in the yard again and again.
"Please sit down, Brother Dong, sit down."
Gu Dongqing raised his eyebrows slightly. "No need. I came here to ask you something. Let's go out and talk."
Besides Xu Ergou, there were other people in the yard, and Gu Dongqing didn't want to talk about things here.
Xu Ergou agreed repeatedly.
Followed Gu Dongqing and left the yard.
"Brother Dong, what do you want me to do?"
Although Xu Ergou has no proper job and spends his days wandering around, he has a wide range of sources of information.
If other people came to him to ask for information, they would have to pay him some money.
But for Gu Dongqing, this is not necessary.
Xu Ergou almost lost his life a few years ago. If Gu Dongqing hadn't saved him, he would have turned into bones by now.
Where is the good life we have now?
With the previous kindness in mind, Xu Ergou treated Gu Dongqing with the same piety and respect as if he were his own father.
"How much do you know about the Dong family's affairs?" Gu Dongqing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Xu Ergou hesitated for a moment, "Brother Dong, what do you want to know?"
"Dong Chengcai!"
"Hey, this one."
Xu Ergou looked around to make sure no one was around. He lowered his voice and whispered, "I once accidentally ran into him peeing..."
Gu Dongqing raised his eyebrows.
Xu Ergou stretched out his thumb and pinched his pinky finger, comparing the length of a fingernail. "His thing is only this big."
"Really, there's nothing more."
Worried that Gu Dongqing didn't believe him, Xu Ergou made his assurance in a serious manner.
Gu Dongqing sneered, he did not doubt what Xu Ergou said.
He could tell whether a person was lying or not. What Xu Ergou told him at this moment was the absolute truth.
It can be seen that Jiang Mingyue also knows that Dong Chengcai is not capable.
Duan Ping knew that Jiang Mingyue knew about it, so she attacked Jiang Mingyue and wanted to beat her to death in order to keep the secret for Dong Chengcai.
Oh……
Duan Ping is really a good mother. She can do anything for her son...
"Dong Ge"
Xu Ergou's voice interrupted Gu Dongqing's thoughts.
Gu Dongqing came to his senses, took out twenty yuan from his pocket and put it in Xu Ergou's hand.
"Brother Dong, this?"
"Isn't your mother just recovered from her illness? Buy some good food and take it back to nourish the old lady."
"Dong Ge" Xu Ergou didn't want to accept the money. Gu Dongqing had helped them enough...
"Okay, go to work."
Gu Dongqing waved his hand and asked Xu Ergou to go in and do the work, and he also went to work.
On the way back to the village.
The two sisters talked as they walked, and Jiang Xinyue also asked Jiang Mingyue why they just let it go like this.
"That old hag is slandering your reputation like this. We are not afraid of her even if we fight her to death."
"Duan Ping is not scary, but Xinyue, don't forget that the deputy mayor's surname is Dong."
Jiang Mingyue was not frightened, but she knew the pros and cons.
No matter how many women Dong Jianguo has outside, no matter what the relationship between Dong Jianguo and Duan Ping is like, as long as he has not fallen, the Dong family will not fall.
Although exposing the fact that Dong Chengcai is Tianya now may cause a wave of rumors to spread about the Dong family, it will not cost the Dong family their lives.
Dong Jianguo is the lifeblood of the Dong family.
Jiang Xinyue didn't know there were such complicated relationships involved. She curled her lips and said, "Dong Jianguo is a cadre. He should know right from wrong, right?"
"Not all cadres know right from wrong. It depends on the person, not the profession."
If it was Jiang Mingyue in her previous life, she might have been like her sister and viewed cadres through a filter.
But her current thoughts and experience are no longer those of a 19-year-old girl, so she cannot be as simple as Xinyue.
“It’s great to be an officer.”
Jiang Xinyue muttered.
Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, I also think being an officer is good. Xinyue should study hard and become an officer after she passes the college entrance examination, so that we can enjoy the glory with her."
"Are there any female officers?"
Not to mention that Jiang Xinyue was really moved.
If I could become an official and have power, no one could bully my grandparents, sisters, or other relatives.
Those gossipy women in the village no longer dared to laugh at their family for not having a boy. The Jiang family's first branch was completely extinct in their generation...
The two sisters returned home while talking.
Seeing her sisters coming back from buying meat, Jiang Manyue was so happy that she kept circling around her two sisters' backs, the smile on her face almost overflowing.
Jiang Mingyue was happy and sad.
In her previous life, my younger sister didn’t have a good ending either.
After she was killed by Dong Yumei, her soul was wandering in the Dong family. One day, she heard Dong Yumei happily tell Duan Ping that Manyue was caught by traffickers, beaten to death while escaping and thrown into the reservoir, where she was found after soaking for several days.
When I took it out, all my hair had fallen out, and my skin was so fragile that it broke at the slightest touch...
Even when Jiang Mingyue recalls it now, she still feels that the scene is too shocking.
How could such a good sister of hers have such a tragic end?
"Second sister, what's wrong?"
Jiang Manyue's voice rang out.
Jiang Mingyue came back to her senses and looked at Jiang Manyue, who was thin but still alive and well, standing in front of her. She smiled and shook her head.
"Third sister bought candy for Manyue, Manyue, go find Third sister to get the candy."
"good."
Jiang Manyue ran away obediently.
Jiang Mingyue stood up and looked at her younger sister's back, her smile firm.
Whether it is a new moon or a full moon, Grandpa and Grandma, she will never let anything unexpected happen to them.
In the next few days, Jiang Manyue and Jiang Xinyue went up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs every day. Grandpa, grandmother and Manyue helped them sort the herbs at home. After they were done, the two sisters carried them back to the town to sell.
They dug for five days in total, and the two sisters earned 260 yuan together, 52 yuan a day.
After spending some money on shopping for the family, she had two hundred yuan left. Adding the one hundred yuan that Aunt Jiang gave her before, Jiang Mingyue now had three hundred yuan in her hands.
I left one hundred yuan for Xinyue's tuition, and there was still two hundred yuan left.
After harvesting the rice in the fields and the corn on the mountains, Jiang Mingyue can put her plan of doing some small business on the agenda.
The rice harvest will begin tomorrow, so Jiang Mingyue decided to eat better tonight. She gave Xinyue five yuan and asked her to go to Grandma Liu's house at the entrance of the village to buy a chicken.
When Gu Dongqing arrived at the Jiang family, Jiang Mingyue was holding a knife in one hand and a chicken wing in the other. He pressed the chicken in his hand against the wooden board and cut its neck.
When she looked up, she saw her grandmother, and Gu Dongqing standing behind her grandmother.
There was still blood on the kitchen knife in Jiang Mingyue's hand. The chicken whose neck had been cut was not dead yet. It bounced on the wooden board and struggled to its death.
A drop of chicken blood splashed onto Jiang Mingyue's cheek.
She raised her hand to wipe it, then stood up and called to the kitchen, "Xinyue, the chicken is killed. Please pluck it and clean it. I will cook it later."
After saying that, he put down the knife, washed his hands, and walked towards Gu Dongqing.
"Let's go."
If you have something to say, let’s talk about it outside.
"Second girl, where are you taking Xiao Gu?" Old Mrs. Jiang stopped her. "It's almost time for dinner, let Xiao Gu stay for dinner."
