Chapter 20: Confession Rejected

Jiang Mingyue heard what her grandmother said, raised her head and looked at Gu Dongqing, then looked at her grandmother, "Grandma, no..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Dongqing interrupted her.

"Grandma, you don't need to eat. I have to leave after I finish talking to Comrade Jiang. I have something else to do."

He didn't say anything specific, but the old lady understood what they meant.

After looking at her granddaughter, the old lady walked into the house.

Jiang Mingyue took Gu Dongqing away from their home.

She started walking toward the river, but after two steps she recalled her last memory, and she stumbled and stopped at the rice field next to her home.

"What do you want to see me about?"

Gu Dongqing had a smile on his face, with a slight curve at the corners of his lips, still thinking about the expression on her face when she stopped.

He came back to his senses when he heard the voice and his eyes fell on Jiang Mingyue.

"Let me tell you something. Dong Jianguo has been reported. He probably won't be able to get up this time."

If she wants to do something to the Dong family, she can do it with confidence.

Even though Jiang Mingyue has been digging herbs in the mountains, she actually inquires about the Dong family's news every time she goes to town.

But she has no connections and no money, so she cannot be as well-informed as Gu Dongqing.

"Are you sure he can't get up? Who reported it?"

It’s not that Jiang Mingyue didn’t think about reporting it, but she didn’t have any evidence to hand over to her superiors to prove that Dong Jianguo had problems.

So there has been no action.

Now that she heard that Dong Jianguo had been reported, she also wanted to do her part.

Make sure Dong Jianguo can't stand up again and the Dong family will be trampled into the mud.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Dongqing asked.

Jiang Mingyue shook her head slightly. After looking at the person in front of her, she thought for a moment and then asked softly, "What are you reporting Dong Jianguo to?"

"It's not a good style."

"Is it about him keeping two women outside?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

Gu Dongqing nodded, "There are some other reasons as well."

"And have you found the money he hid?"

Jiang Mingyue was too excited and she said something that she shouldn't have known.

But then again, she was from the Dong family after all, so if someone really asked her how she knew Dong Jianguo had hidden the money, she could just say that she saw it by accident.

Yes, that's a good excuse.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head and looked at Gu Dongqing while gesturing with her hands, "I've seen him take such a big box before, and it was full of brand new money, lots and lots."

She carefully selected some things from her past life that could be told and told them to Gu Dongqing.

The two talked for a while at the edge of the field.

Jiang Manyue came to have dinner with someone.

Jiang Mingyue, who originally had no intention of letting Gu Dongqing stay, now heard her younger sister say that the meal was ready, so she could only ask Gu Dongqing if he wanted to stay for dinner.

"Is it convenient now?"

Gu Dongqing looked at her with a teasing look in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyue was a little embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to give up a meal, but the current situation of our family is not suitable for a man from outside to stay."

"Oh? Are you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

“Not really.”

Jiang Mingyue was not so ignorant as to raise her head. "I am afraid that I will ruin your reputation, Comrade Gu, and that you will be implicated by me."

When she went to the town's purchasing station to sell herbal medicine, she heard someone talking about Gu Dongqing, saying that his blind date had failed again...

Those women said that Gu Dongqing, an old bachelor who was almost 28 years old, was neither high nor low, and he was unwilling to marry a widow and become a stepfather, so he would probably remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.

They also said that it was a pity that his tall body and muscular body were not enjoyed by women, which was a pity...

There were a lot of messy rumors. Jiang Mingyue didn't think about them carefully, but she understood one thing.

Gu Dongqing seems to be a difficult person and it is difficult for him to find a suitable partner...

She didn’t know whether Gu Dongqing had had any blind dates before.

But since she met Gu Dongqing, she heard that he had failed twice.

"Are you afraid of ruining my reputation?" Gu Dongqing laughed. "What reputation do I have that you can ruin?"

"After all, I just got divorced."

"That's perfect. You're divorced and I'm not married. How about you consider me?" The man's voice interrupted her.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head in great surprise.

"What are you talking about? This is not funny."

"I'm not kidding you either."

Now that things have come to this, it would be inappropriate not to make things clear.

Gu Dongqing stood up straight, put away the smile on his face, and his expression became serious and solemn.

Even though he hadn't said anything yet, his slightly pursed thin lips gave people the feeling that what he said was true.

"Comrade Jiang Mingyue, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Gu Dongqing, and I will be twenty-eight in five months. My family is simple, with no parents or brothers or sisters. I am currently running a small business with a few retired comrades."

"I'm not going to be extremely rich, but it's definitely enough to support my wife and children and my family."

"If Comrade Jiang doesn't mind my age, would you be willing to date me with the intention of getting married?"

Gu Dongqing looked at her with burning eyes.

There is a seriousness that has never been seen before in those deep eyes.

Jiang Mingyue also believed that he was serious, but she did not agree.

"I'm sorry, but I won't marry again."

Jiang family.

"elder sister!"

Jiang Xinyue touched the shoulder of Jiang Mingyue, who was sitting on a wooden block and looking up at the sky in a trance. "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"You seemed absent-minded during the meal. Did that Gu say something to you?"

Ever since my second sister came back from talking to Gu Dongqing, she seemed to be a little uneasy.

Jiang Xinyue was very worried and didn't know what happened to her second sister.

Jiang Mingyue tilted her head, looked at her sister and smiled.

"I'm fine, just counting stars."

After that, she stood up with her hands on a wooden stool and walked towards the room, saying in a brisk tone, "Okay, go to bed early, because we have to harvest rice tomorrow."

During the autumn harvest, in order to race against time with God, they all got up at four or five o'clock to go to the fields.

It's eight o'clock now. If you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow.

Jiang Xinyue was originally still guessing what had happened between her second sister and the man surnamed Gu, but when she heard about harvesting rice, the expression on her little face visibly fell.

In an instant, all curiosity flew away.

Harvest rice, harvest rice, harvest corn, and after harvesting rice, you have to shed a layer of skin!

Jiang Xinyue returned to her room wailing.

Jiang Mingyue changed into sleeping clothes and lay down on her little bed.

Moonlight came in through the window and was reflected on the opposite wall.

Jiang Mingyue inevitably thought of Gu Dongqing's expression and his departing back when she rejected him in the evening.

It seems like she went too far?

After all, Gu Dongqing really helped her a lot, but she refused so bluntly...

Jiang Mingyue's hands were placed on her flat belly. There was guilt towards Gu Dongqing between her brows, but more importantly, there was anticipation and joy for the baby in her belly.

She doesn't care who the child's father is. She will take good care of the baby in her belly and continue the mother-child relationship that she was unable to complete in her previous life.

Jiang Mingyue fell asleep with full expectations, but Gu Dongqing in Tonglin Town did not sleep.

He smoked two cigarettes and recalled Jiang Mingyue's words, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest.
