Chapter 7 Heartache
When the bicycle was less than one meter away from her, she screamed with a pale face and squatted down with her head in her hands.
The sound of tires rubbing against the mud announced that the bicycle owner had stopped it.
It stopped just an arm's length away from me.
Jiang Mingyue raised her head and stared at the man with his long legs crossed on the ground, his arms resting on the handlebars, looking at her with a playful expression.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Mingyue, who had died once, realized that the man in front of her was not a good person. She looked away and lowered her head calmly.
"Dong...Brother Dong..."
Gu Dongqing looked at the person who hit him with his head again, clicked his tongue, and turned the bicycle around.
"Get in the car."
"I……"
"Hurry up, don't dilly-dally." Gu Dongqing's tone was not friendly, even a little bit mean, "I don't care what you want to do to the Dong family, that's your business."
"I'll take you to the stone bridge, and that'll be considered a good deed for me."
Jiang Mingyue looked at the broad back in front of her, then looked down at her feet, and reached out her hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.
Rejected Gu Dongqing.
"No, I..."
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Dong Chengcai your true identity?" Gu Dongqing turned his head and glanced at her with a smile.
Jiang Mingyue tightened her grip on the strap of her schoolbag.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't treat me as an enemy. I told you, giving you a ride is just a good deed. As long as you don't affect my good deeds, I don't know anything."
"What do you think?"
In the end, Jiang Mingyue got on the bicycle.
She grabbed both sides of the stool with her hands, bit her lips and endured the bumps without saying a word.
When my butt was almost numb from all the shaking, we finally arrived at the stone bridge.
Gu Dongqing stopped his bike, she got off, and he rode away at full speed. The two of them didn't say a word to each other from beginning to end.
Jiang Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at the Dong family courtyard in the distance. On the right was Gu Dongqing's courtyard.
She couldn't help but think of the man carrying her just now. His tense muscles were indeed scary enough.
He was not a simple-minded person. On the contrary, he was very smart and could see that he was acting in front of the Dong family...
It would be best if he could really do as he said and mind his own business. If he does, then don't blame her.
"Hey, isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Dong family? Have you returned from the village?"
A neighbor in front of her spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
Jiang Mingyue raised her head and gave the other party a shy smile, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Chunying exclaimed, "Do you know me?"
"Well, my mother-in-law told me about you."
"Your mother-in-law? What did she say?"
Zhang Chunying didn't get along well with Duan Ping, and she was very curious about what Duan Ping said to Jiang Mingyue.
"Did she say something bad about me?"
Jiang Mingyue shook her head repeatedly, her black and white eyes widened and full of panic.
"No, my mother-in-law didn't say anything bad about Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang, please don't think too much."
It is absolutely impossible to expect people not to have random thoughts when looking at Jiang Mingyue's expression at this moment.
And after she finished explaining, she walked towards Dong's house with a panicked look on her face.
"I'm going home. I'm leaving first, Aunt Zhang."
The fleeing figure silently announced to Zhang Chunying that her guess was correct.
It wasn't that Jiang Mingyue deliberately misled Zhang Chunying.
Duan Ping had made many enemies in this area. She often offended her neighbors by relying on her status as the deputy mayor's wife.
Zhang Chunying held a grudge against Duan Ping in her heart.
Jiang Mingyue doesn't need Zhang Chunying to do anything to Duan Ping right now.
She slowly sowed seeds in the hearts of these neighbors, waiting for the moment when Dong Jianguo would be brought down.
When the time comes, everyone will push the wall down, and everyone will come to step on the Dong family!
She arrived at the gate of the Dong family's house and looked at the gate in front of her, which was no different from the gate of the Gu family next door, and sneered in her heart.
Tung Jianguo would pretend to be poor and suffer.
Normally, the family ate poorly, dressed poorly, and even their house was no different from that of their neighbors.
But she knew that Dong Jianguo had hidden a lot of money.
In her previous life, when she was a wandering soul after her death, she once saw with her own eyes Dong Jianguo bringing back a box of money from outside.
The box was filled with brand new hundred-dollar bills, neatly tied into bundles. I had no idea how many of them there were.
Jiang Mingyue's soul has been trapped in the Dong family and unable to get out, so she doesn't know where the money came from.
But what is certain is that the money is not clean.
For her in this life, Dong Jianguo's box of money became the key to her overthrowing the Dong family.
"What are you doing standing at the door?"
The gate of Dong's courtyard was opened. Duan Ping stood at the door and looked at Jiang Mingyue with dissatisfaction.
At this moment, her attitude and facial expression were completely different from when she entered the village.
Well, now that the daughter-in-law is called back, shouldn’t we handle her properly?
"Why don't you come in and cook?"
Duan Ping yelled unhappily.
Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes and said yes obediently.
"I'm going to cook now."
"Be quick. I didn't marry you to let you bully others."
After saying this, Duan Ping turned around and went into the house.
Jiang Mingyue also walked in.
Dinner was simple.
Brown rice porridge, boiled sweet potato leaves, and wowotou made with wild vegetables.
Dong Chengcai came in and took a look, then turned around and left when he saw the food on the table. Dong Jianguo was having dinner at work and had not returned.
As for Dong Yumei, she was also sent to Duan Ping's parents' home.
So there were only Duan Ping and Jiang Mingyue at the table.
Duan Ping frowned, slurped two mouthfuls of brown rice porridge, and cursed at Jiang Mingyue for being incompetent and cooking such a terrible meal.
Jiang Mingyue sat there, and the young wife also hung her head without making any answer.
Duan Ping put the bowl heavily on the table, raised her sleeves to wipe her mouth, then turned and left the kitchen.
Jiang Mingyue was alone in the kitchen, eating some dry porridge, and she didn't mind eating brown rice.
In her last life, she was pregnant on her wedding night, and in this life, she might be pregnant too.
Thinking of the two unborn children, she had to eat more no matter what.
I didn't get to enjoy the full mother-son relationship in my last life, but I will definitely not miss it again in this life.
Dong Chengcai passed by the kitchen door and saw Jiang Mingyue sitting alone at the table, slowly drinking porridge and eating sweet potato leaves. His brows frowned slightly.
But he said nothing and turned and walked out.
"Where are you going again?"
Duan Ping saw her son leaving the house and immediately asked.
Dong Chengcai stopped and showed a rare annoyance towards his mother, "Let's go out for dinner."
"Eat..." Duan Ping started, then immediately lowered her voice, "Speak louder, are you afraid that the village girl can't hear you?"
"No, Mom, I just don't understand. Is it worth it for you to make your whole family suffer just to temper her?"
Before Jiang Mingyue got married, their family would eat meat and kill chickens every now and then.
When Jiang Mingyue got married, her mother said that she wanted to temper Jiang Mingyue's temper and make her more hardworking and patient.
He thought about it and agreed.
But this is enough for a few meals, right? Isn't she afraid that her family members will become ill if they eat this oil-free food for a long time?
Besides, he felt that Jiang Mingyue’s temper didn’t need to be tempered.
"Are you feeling sorry for her?" Duan Ping lowered her voice and continued in a tone that only the mother and son could hear: "Don't forget, she is the woman who cheated on you."
