"Dani is in the hospital, but the captain didn't tell me what happened. Is she okay?" Jiang Dahai walked out of the yard carrying a nylon bag. When he heard his son's exclamation, he asked Mrs. Miao nervously.
"This matter was not spread outside. People in the village thought that Dani and Dongmei went to live at Dazhen's house for a while. They didn't know that Dani was in the hospital."
The old lady curled her lips. It was obvious that there were many hidden secrets about Dani's hospitalization, otherwise, the family would not have concealed this from the people in the village.
"Come in first, Dani, there's nothing wrong. Dinner is getting cold. Let's eat and talk."
The old lady urged a few times and asked Aiguo to help Jiang Dahai carry the things into the house and invite Ruan Yuanjiang and others who had just returned to have dinner.
Old Mrs. Miao has been worried about her precious grandson who is far away in Haicheng, so she prepared a very sumptuous dinner today. Half of the pig's feet that the team got during the Chinese New Year were used by the old lady to stew soybean and wolfberry pig's feet soup, and the other half were braised with a lot of chili peppers. It was spicy, soft and glutinous, which was both appetizing and delicious.
Although everyone who had not had time to eat dinner in the evening was already growling with hunger, they were worried about Dani and had no appetite.
"Grandma, why is my eldest sister in the hospital? And there's also the matter of her engagement. How could so many things happen in just seven or eight days?" Jiang Yiluo asked the old lady nervously, holding the bowl of rice without taking a bite.
When Old Mrs. Miao saw that her son and grandson refused to eat unless she explained it clearly, she could only recount in detail what had happened in the past few days.
The story begins three days ago.
When a married daughter becomes pregnant, it is only natural for her family to bring some brown sugar and eggs to visit her. Old Mrs. Miao was so generous that she saved up a basket of eggs and asked her eldest granddaughter to accompany her to the county town.
When they arrived at the Meng family, they happened to run into Meng Xiangwen, who was arguing with the old lady of the Meng family for some unknown reason, and he seemed to be talking about the house.
The old lady originally didn't want to get involved in the Meng family's affairs, but the little girl's words became more and more unpleasant, and she was making indirect accusations, saying that the Jiang family was shameless and coveted the Meng family's money and house.
What a joke. The old lady is not really stupid. The Meng family has their own grandchildren. It is impossible for the Meng family's things to end up in the hands of their own grandchildren. At most, the old lady would use her daughter to take advantage of the Meng family. No matter how much, she would not be stupid enough to break off the relationship between the relatives.
The old lady had no intention of lowering her status and making a fuss with a money-loser, she was just worried about her pregnant daughter. What if the little girl from the Meng family pushed and hurt the baby in her daughter's belly? Her little grandson had already said that her daughter had to be on guard against villains when she was pregnant, and maybe he was referring to that traitorous girl from the Meng family.
The old lady accompanied her daughter to the room upstairs, and she didn't even know when Meng Xiangwen left. Later, Jiang Dazhen went out to buy groceries with her niece. Half an hour later, she saw Xiang Qianjin running home covered in blood, saying that Dani and Dazhen had an accident and were still in the machinery factory staff hospital, and asked them to go to the hospital quickly.
It turned out that when the two of them went out to buy groceries, Meng Xiangwen had been following them since some time ago.
When they were walking across the covered bridge and were about to go down the stairs, Meng Xiangwen rushed out and pretended to bump into her accidentally. Jiang Dazhen was caught off guard and fell down. Fortunately, Dani was with her and acted as a cushion for her in a hurry. The baby in Jiang Dazhen's belly was saved, and she just had a slight miscarriage.
In comparison, Dani was not so well off. When she fell down the stairs, her right foot was broken and her head hit the stone pillar beside the bridge, leaving a five-centimeter-long wound. The wound was quite deep and required several stitches. It is said that even if she recovers, there will be a shallow scar left.
The culprit, Meng Xiangwen, had disappeared long after he hit the person. Jiang Dani, who hit her head, fainted at the time. Jiang Dazhen looked at her niece whose forehead was bleeding, and she was shocked and panicked. Her stomach kept aching, and she could only shout for help.
Xiang Qianjin was on his way to Meng's house that day when he ran into the injured aunt and nephew. Seeing his beloved lying in a pool of blood, he picked up Jiang Dani without saying a word, and called some passers-by on the street to help support Jiang Dazhen to go to the hospital.
Dani was injured because of the Meng family's child, and the Meng family paid all the hospital expenses without saying a word. These days, they provided Jiang Dani and Gu Dongmei, who went to the hospital to take care of Dani, with good food and drink.
However, the Meng family's attitude towards the crazy Meng Xiangwen was somewhat ambiguous. They just repeatedly assured them that they would give an explanation to the Jiang family and begged the Jiang family not to spread the matter.
Old Mrs. Miao was filled with anger. Her eldest granddaughter was disfigured before she even got married. Her value dropped by half in an instant. How could she bear this injustice? However, after her son-in-law Meng Pingchuan pleaded again and again, Old Mrs. Miao had to stop complaining temporarily.
"Well, it's also my fault. I could have sent the eggs on any other day, but the day that girl came to visit. She guessed that Dazhen was pregnant again. I think she was worried that Dazhen would give birth to another boy and take her share of the money, so she wanted to kill the baby in Dazhen's belly."
The old lady sighed, and at the same time she had some complaints about the Meng family's behavior. Of course, the family's money would be left to her grandson. Seeing their attitude of indulging that money-losing guy, her appetite gradually grew.
If the granddaughters of their Jiang family dare to snatch Xiaobao's things in the future, she will tear their skins apart. The old lady glared at her granddaughters viciously.
"Ridiculous, very ridiculous."
Jiang Dahai slammed the table. Is the daughter of the Meng family crazy? She actually did such a thing. What on earth are her brother-in-law and his family thinking? Meng Xiangwen dared to do such a thing now. If he continues to indulge him, wouldn't he be even more lawless?
"During the time when we were not here, something like this actually happened." Ruan Yuanjiang could not help but sigh, feeling sorry for Jiang Dani. Although times have changed, this girl's disfigurement will still have some obstacles in finding a husband in the future. If this happened to Ruan Ruan, he was afraid...
Ruan Yuanjiang felt disappointed, wondering if he would be able to see Ruan Ruan get married in his lifetime.
"What about the engagement?"
Under the dining table, Jiang Yilu clenched his fists tightly, with veins all over the back of his hands. He never expected that in his aunt's previous life, the child in her aunt's belly was really caused by Meng Xiangwen. In this life, this incident happened earlier than expected, and his eldest sister also suffered for his aunt.
Jiang Yilu finally figured out why the Meng family was so cold to their daughter Meng Xiangwen in their previous life. This was probably their explanation to their aunt, to expel Meng Xiangwen from the Meng family and take back all the subsidies and assistance given to her.
However, in the previous life, the younger aunt lost her unborn child and suffered for half her life. In this life, the eldest sister was disfigured and injured, and she didn't know what would happen to her in the future. If Meng Xiangwen only received this punishment, it would not be enough.
If you do bad things, you will always have your hands chopped off. A faint light flashed in Jiang Yilu's eyes. Bai Fangqiu, who was standing next to him, noticed that there was something wrong with Jiang Yilu's appearance, and a trace of worry flashed through his heart.
When Jiang Yilu mentioned the engagement, the old lady finally showed a smile on her face.
"Didn't I just tell you that it was Qianjin who saved Dani and your aunt? It was really the fate of the two children. Qianjin didn't mind the scar on Dani's forehead at all. He knew that Dani wanted to go to school and was willing to wait for her for another three years. He would wait until Dani was admitted to high school or technical secondary school before getting the certificate."
The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and held up two fingers: "QinJin is a filial child. He knows that it is not easy for us to raise a daughter, and he said he is willing to pay 200 yuan as a betrothal gift. It's rare that Dani and the child are attracted to each other, and we as elders can't refuse."
Two hundred yuan! When the villagers married off their daughters, no family had ever received so much betrothal gift. When the old lady found out that Dani was disfigured, she thought that her granddaughter was going to be a disaster. She didn't expect that there was such a fool who didn't mind the scar on Dani's forehead and was willing to wait for her for a few more years.
Except for Jiang Dahai who went to Haicheng, several elders in the family strongly supported this matter, especially Gu Dongmei. She had always valued Xiang Qianjin as a son-in-law. When Xiang Qianjin asked Meng Pingchuan to talk to them about this matter, Gu Dongmei almost raised her hands and feet to agree.
"I don't agree!"
When Jiang Yilu heard Xiang Qianjin's name, his first reaction was to reject him. With a mother like Yin Hong, Xiang Qianjin was kicked out of the candidate list of brother-in-law. It's just a scar on the forehead. When the time comes, cut bangs to cover it, or remove the scar through skin grafting surgery... There are various ways to reduce the impact of scars.
There is no need for my eldest sister to worry about this matter. She can just marry anyone.
The Jiang family had not expected Jiang Yilu's strong opposition. For Jiang Dahai, although he was angry about his daughter's injury, he really couldn't think of any reason to oppose Xiang Qianjin as his son-in-law.
"What's wrong with your eldest brother Xiang? These days, he and your mother are taking care of your eldest sister in the hospital." Old Mrs. Miao asked puzzledly. Didn't her grandson have a good opinion of Xiang Qianjin before? Why did his attitude change 180 degrees now?
"Don't worry, my eldest sister is still your eldest sister even if she gets married. Besides, they are just engaged first, and it will take another three years for them to get married."
The old lady smiled and comforted her grandson, but she was a little worried in her heart, wondering if three years was too long. What if Xiang Qianjin changed his mind? Then the two hundred dollars would be wasted. Otherwise, why not let her granddaughter go to school?
Jiang Yilu had no way of saying the reason why he opposed Xiang Qianjin and his eldest sister's marriage. He could only rack his brains to think of some way to ruin this marriage.
Marriage has not been a matter of two people since ancient times. With a family like that, no matter how good Xiang Qianjin is, my eldest sister cannot get married.
