In the following days, Xiang Qianjin began to frequently visit Meng's house under the pretext of asking Meng Pingchuan questions. Of course, due to some unspeakable little thoughts, every time he visited, he always had something in his hands, which were all snacks that children loved to eat, and occasionally mixed with hairpins, small handkerchiefs and other things that girls loved to use.
In the Meng family, his intentions were known to everyone. Jiang Dani's attitude towards him also changed from shyness to a qualitative leap where they could chat for a few minutes when they met.
"What a coincidence."
Xiang Qianjin was standing on a small path that the Meng family had to take to get to the textile factory. He looked at the pretty and elegant girl wearing the green military jacket he had just made, and said with a blushing face.
Xiang Qianjin's eyes passed over Jiang Dani's hair, and he felt a little disappointed when he saw that there was no hairpin he had given her on her head.
"That hairpin is very beautiful. I left it at home for fear of damaging it, and wanted to wear it on a day when I don't have to work." Jiang Dani looked at Qianjin's lost expression and hurriedly explained.
She is now unclear about her feelings towards Xiang Qianjin. After all, Xiang Qianjin is the first man who has shown affection for her and is considerate to her since she grew up. Moreover, Xiang Qianjin's conditions are not bad. It would be a lie for Jiang Dani to say that she is not tempted.
But after all, they haven't confirmed their relationship yet. Xiang Qianjin gives her some small gifts every day under the pretext of sending things to his uncle, which makes her feel a little at a loss for a while.
It's not good to always accept gifts from others, but Xiang Qianjin gave it to her in the name of gratitude to her uncle. Jiang Dani couldn't refuse it, so she could only think of making up for it in other ways. Only then would Jiang Dani feel relieved. But now Jiang Dani still hasn't figured out what she should do to repay this favor.
Jiang Dani's words immediately cheered up Xiang Qianjin, and he instantly changed from a dejected stray dog to a spirited and loyal dog.
Jiang Yilu, who was following behind Jiang Dani, looked at the man who lied with his eyes open. He thought that all his claims of being honest and simple were lies. He was obviously a shameless scoundrel.
The location of the textile factory and the location of the machinery factory are completely different. Even if Jiang Yiliu didn't have the memory of his previous life, he wouldn't believe it. Therefore, after accidentally hearing the elder sister mention this matter last night, Jiang Yiliu decided without thinking that in the next few days, he would accompany the elder sister to work every day and monitor a man with bad intentions.
Nowadays, the separation between men and women is more serious than in ancient times. The slightest physical contact will be regarded as promiscuous and will be criticized. Even couples dare not have any intimate behavior in public. Jiang Yilu knew that nothing would happen when the two of them walked on the street, but he was still a little worried.
Jiang Dazhen was taken to the textile factory by her husband on a bicycle every morning, and Meng Pingchuan would take her there before going to the machinery factory. Xiang Qianjin had to rely on his own two legs, and he walked so many unnecessary detours every day, which made Jiang Yiliu have a little bit of goodwill towards him. At least now, it seemed that he also had feelings for his elder sister.
But now this man has learned to pretend to be pitiful in order to win the sympathy of the eldest sister. It seems that this man is also quite scheming. Jiang Yilu has never been averse to smart men. He would be worried if Xiang Qianjin was really as dull and stupid as he looks.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yilu patted his head. He was really worn out by Xiang Qianjin. They hadn't even started dating yet, and he might not necessarily become his brother-in-law. But now he was starting to worry that Xiang Qianjin's IQ meant that he would accept him as his brother-in-law.
"Xiaobao, why do you pat your head for no reason?" Jiang Dani scolded him and patted his hand.
"No, I remembered that my cousin asked me to bring him some fruit peel pills. After sending you to the factory, I have to remember to go to the supply and marketing cooperative." Jiang Yilu casually found a reason to explain his previous actions.
"You are really something. I am already a grown-up, why do I need a little kid like you to take me to the factory?" Jiang Dani said the blame with a smile on her face.
Xiang Qianjin on the side looked at Jiang Yilu beside him with a wry smile. He didn't really want to send Dani to work, but he really wanted to monitor him.
Xiang Qianjin felt that his sweetheart's younger brother did not really act like a seven-year-old child. No matter how many snacks he used to tempt Jiang Yilu, he remained unmoved and guarded Dani very closely, as if he had installed a radar detector. As long as he appeared around Dani, this future brother-in-law would come over like a ghost, making it impossible for him to find a chance to get closer to Dani.
Looking at the little brat who was standing between him and Dani, and remembering that Dani seemed to have three younger sisters in her hometown, Xiang Qianjin only hoped that they would not be as difficult to deal with as Xiaobao, otherwise, he might be afraid that his journey to pursue his wife would be endless.
Xiang Qianjin accompanied Jiang Dani all the way to a small intersection in front of the textile factory. If they walked any further, they would reach the textile factory directly. Xiang Qianjin was not thick-skinned enough to be so shameless, so he said goodbye to Jiang Dani reluctantly at the small intersection.
Jiang Yiliu accompanied his elder sister to the door, and only left after watching her enter the factory gate. After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly thought of the white grandmother that his elder sister mentioned, and thought that since he had come to the textile factory, he might as well go in and meet the old lady. Just as he was about to go back, he turned around and suddenly saw a man standing furtively at the door of the textile factory, staring at his elder sister's back. The man turned around and left in another direction until his elder sister disappeared.
Jiang Yilu saw the man's appearance clearly, and was so frightened that his hands and feet turned cold, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
If you were to ask who Jiang Yilu hated the most in his previous life, it would definitely be the man walking past him.
Wang Shanshui, in the previous life, he had to call this cruel and brutal man his brother-in-law. That's right, that man was Jiang Dani's husband in the previous life, and also the widower who had been abusing her elder sister after marriage. In the previous life, her elder sister died so early, and this man was at least 80% responsible.
He looked the same as in his previous life. His messy hair was half silvery, his clothes were wrinkled and stained, and he hadn't washed them for a long time. There was a cut at the corner of his mouth. He said that he was injured by a lone Japanese soldier when he fled to Chongqing. Of course, the Japanese soldier wasn't much better off, and he killed him desperately. When he got drunk, he liked to brag about this great achievement, but the people around him never believed it.
His eyes were high and bulging, staring like bull eyes, his eyebrows were always raised, there were several deep lines on his forehead, and he looked fierce. In him, the saying "appearance is determined by the heart" was fully reflected.
Jiang Yilu's teeth were chattering. In this life, Jiang Dani and this man had never had any connection. Why did this man start to appear around her elder sister again?
Jiang Yilu walked in the direction Wang Shanshui left without thinking. It was impossible for him to target his elder sister for no reason. There must be other reasons.
Jiang Yiliu followed Wang Shanshui carefully all the way. Huo Wu not only taught them the most basic body training, but also taught them some tracking and anti-tracking skills. Jiang Yiliu's child's body was the best cover. No one would have thought that a seven-year-old child would do such a thing as tracking, nor would they be on guard against him.
He followed Wang Shanshui all the way to a small alley. Jiang Yiliu had accompanied his uncle to pick up "garbage" in the streets and alleys, and he had some impression of this alley. It seemed to be a staff building for the mine, and the people living here should all be workers from the Yuchuan Mine. Jiang Yiliu was a little puzzled, what was Wang Shanshui doing here?
Although he didn't like Wang Shanshui in his previous life, he still had some impression of their family situation. It seemed that they didn't have any relatives working in the mine.
There are only two iron mines in Yuchuan County, but these two iron mines are not rich iron mines. The steel produced after smelting the iron ore is only enough for internal consumption by the county machinery factory. Therefore, the treatment of workers working in the mines is far less than that of large factories such as machinery factories and textile factories. The houses allocated to workers are not as grand as those in the other two factories.
Jiang Yilu followed Wang Shanshui and watched him stop in front of a small second floor building and knock on the door.
He carefully hid behind a horizontal wall and leaned his head to look in the direction where Wang Shanshui was standing. As Wang Shanshui's knocks on the door became louder and louder, the small wooden door was finally opened. Jiang Yilu leaned his head and saw the woman coming out, and his pupils dilated instantly.
Fan Xiaojuan, he should have thought of it earlier. In his previous life, it was Fan Xiaojuan who arranged for his elder sister to marry the violent widower.
"What are you doing here!" When Fan Xiaojuan saw the person coming, a trace of panic flashed across her face. She looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone.
"Didn't I tell you not to come to me? If my husband sees us, we'll be in big trouble." Fan Xiaojuan shuddered when she thought of her current husband. She was beaten up by the old man again last night. The reason was that her eldest step-daughter-in-law saw her buying cakes and bringing them back to her parents' home, and suspected that she had embezzled the daily vegetable money. This made the stingy old man very unhappy, and he gave her a severe lesson. Now Fan Xiaojuan's clothes are covered with blue and purple scars.
In her current family, Fan Xiaojuan has no access to the old man's pay slip. Every month, the old man only gives her the necessary money for food, not a penny more. Fan Xiaojuan can only rack her brains every day to make do with the pitiful food money, saving 15 cents and then saving it to show off when she returns to her parents' home.
Fan Xiaojuan was very concerned about her reputation. She lost face when she went home to ask for food a few years ago. Now she married a city dweller, but her life was worse than before. How could Fan Xiaojuan accept this after doing so many wrong things? At least, in front of the villagers, she had to live a comfortable life. Seeing the envious eyes of those people would make Fan Xiaojuan feel that her original decision was right.
The only thing that made Fan Xiaojuan feel better now was that the old man loved money like his life. Not only could she not touch the money he earned, but even the old man's children could not touch it. This gave Fan Xiaojuan some hope. The money the old man saved would eventually reach her hands, and she couldn't take these beatings in vain.
