Chapter 400: Cautious Chen Xiaoqiong
At 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone began to feel sleepy, and Jiang Xinran said she would make noodles for everyone.
The three Chen sisters went outside to get some fresh air.
Chen Xiaoqiong said, "Sister, look at our stepmother. She has the same name as Chang Guo's wife. Chang Guo's wife looks like a fairy, and she looks like an old grandmother. She and our mother seem to be from different generations. It's such a waste of such a nice name."
Chen Xiaocai said, "There are so many people with the same name. Why do you care about them?"
Chen Xiaoqiong asked her elder sister, "Do we really have to stay up all night and guard grandpa's bed?"
Chen Xiaoxiu said, "Stay a little longer. If you feel sleepy, you can go back to the guesthouse and sleep. No one can stand staying up all night."
Jiang Xinran made the noodles and asked everyone to come and eat. She put the noodles in a bowl and brought them to Chen Xiaoxiu.
Jiang Haoran said, "Let them eat as much as they want. You should eat quickly, because we have to watch over Dad tonight."
Jiang Xinran smiled and said to the Chen siblings, "Just eat this meal first. I'll go to the market to buy meat tomorrow."
Jiang Guyu saw that there were more eggs in the bowl in front of Chen Xiaoxiu and shouted that he wanted to eat her bowl.
Chen Xiaoxiu pushed the bowl in front of him, but Jiang Xinran took it back.
Jiang Xinran scolded her son: "Guyu, you can't steal food from your sister." Chen
Xiaoxiu said: "It's okay, let him eat, I don't have much appetite."
Jiang Xinran said: "People are iron and food is steel. I don't know how long we will have to wait tonight, so at least eat something."
Chen Xiaoqiong said to Jiang Haoran: "Dad, go and call grandma to come over for dinner."
Jiang Haoran responded and got up to call her.
Chen Xiaoqiong said to Jiang Xinran again: "Aunt, do you have salted vegetables?"
Jiang Xinran said yes and went to the kitchen to get them.
Seeing that the two had left, Chen Xiaoqiong took out a bag of bread from her bag and handed it to Jiang Guyu: "Guyu, do you like bread?"
Jiang Guyu's eyes lit up when he saw the bread, and he reached out to take it. He didn't eat his meal, and ran out of the house with the bread.
Chen Xiaoqiong glanced in the direction of the kitchen and quickly exchanged the bowl in front of Jiang Guyu with Chen Xiaoxiu's.
The Chen siblings looked at her in surprise.
...
Chen Xiaoxiu felt that her sister was a little too cautious. They cooked in the same pot, so many people ate together, and they had no conflict of interest with Jiang Xinran. Could it be that Jiang Xinran could poison them?
Jiang Xinran saw his son running out and called him back to eat.
Jiang Guyu said he didn't want to eat.
So Jiang Xinran picked up his son's bowl and started eating, and asked the Chen siblings to eat too.
The Chen siblings watched Jiang Xinran eat half a bowl of noodles before picking up the bowl to eat noodles.
After eating, Jiang Xinran asked Chen Xiaoxiu enthusiastically: "Are you sleepy? If you are, go to my room and rest for a while."
Chen Xiaoxiu looked at the enthusiastic Jiang Xinran, nodded and went into the room.
When Jiang Xinran was cleaning up the dishes, he felt a little dizzy. He thought that he might be too tired from working too hard recently, so he wanted to go to his room to rest. He remembered that his room was occupied by Chen Xiaoxiu, so he went to his son's room.
When they were about to reach the door of Jiang Guyu's room, Chen Xiaoqiong came over to support Jiang Xinran and said, "Aunt, you are tired, I will help you to rest."
At this time, Jiang Xinran's vision was a little blurry, and she did not notice that Chen Xiaoqiong helped her turn in a different direction.
...
In the middle of the night, Jiang Haoran, who was guarding Jiang's father's bed, watched his father take his last breath and called all the family members to come.
Seeing that his wife had not come yet, he went to look for her in the room.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled an ambiguous smell in the room.
Jiang Haoran frowned and turned on the light.
When he saw the two people on the bed, Jiang Haoran was instantly furious. He rushed over, pulled Jiang Xinran up from the bed, and slapped her.
Jiang Xinran, who was awakened by the beating, looked at her husband with a confused face. Just as she was about to ask why he hit her, she saw that she was naked and there was a man lying on the bed, and she screamed.
Jiang's mother was immersed in grief. Hearing the noise, she dragged her heavy steps to the door of her son's room.
Seeing the situation in the room, Jiang's mother rushed over and slapped Jiang Xinran twice in the face.
"You bastard, your father just passed away, and you cheated on me!"
Gao Lin, who was sleeping like a dead pig in bed, was also woken up at this time. Looking at the Jiang family in front of him, he rubbed his eyes and said, "I and your daughter have already cooked rice, and the wedding must be held within 100 days."
Jiang Haoran heard this and punched Gao Lin angrily.
Gao Lin was hit and he was a little more sober, but he thought Jiang Haoran was just pretending, so he endured it.
When he was about to leave with his clothes, he saw Jiang Xinran wrapped in a quilt next to him and was shocked.
"Why are you here!!!"
Seeing the Jiang family glaring at him, Gao Lin realized that something was wrong.
But he soon calmed down: "My mother said that your family has taken money from my family, so don't try to fool me with an old woman. I want to marry your eldest daughter."
After that, Gao Lin ran out of Jiang's house holding his clothes.
Cursing, crying, and the sound of smashing things came from the room.
...
In the early morning, a mourning hall had been set up in front of Jiang's house.
When the Chen siblings arrived at Jiang's house, they saw sadness and anger on the faces of Jiang's family.
Jiang Xinran knelt in front of the spirit and bowed his head and cried, and vaguely saw bruises on his face.
The Chen siblings didn't know what happened in Jiang's family last night. They kowtowed in front of the spirit and said to her: "My condolences."
Three days later, Jiang's father was buried, and it was time for the Chen siblings to go back.
Gao's wife came to the Jiang family and told the four siblings not to leave yet, and to set a wedding date before leaving.
The Chen siblings were confused.
The Gao family and the Chen family had no relationship at all, so they ignored her and got in the car to leave.
Gao's wife grabbed Chen Xiaoxiu's arm and said, "You can't leave. Set a wedding date with my son before you leave."
Chen Xiaosong pushed Gao's wife away and said, "When will my eldest sister get married to your family?"
Gao's wife said, "Go ask your father."
Chen Xiaoxiu said, "Since it is your family and my father's business, the Jiang family's business has nothing to do with me. You go find him."
Seeing that the Chen siblings were about to get in the car, Gao's wife rushed to the front of the car to stop them, and shouted to the Jiang family, "Jiang Haoran, come out. "
Jiang Haoran came out reluctantly: "What's the matter?"
"Your family's funeral is over, shouldn't the children's marriage be put on the agenda?"
Jiang Haoran said unhappily: "Is your family so anxious? We have to ask the children's opinions."
Chen Xiaoxiu frowned: "The Jiang family has no say in my marriage."
Jiang Haoran said: "I'm discussing it with you, go into the house first."
Chen Xiaoxiu did not move: "Since we are discussing it, then I tell you clearly, no matter who you arrange a marriage for me, I will not agree."
Old Gao's wife said: "If you don't agree, I will expose your Jiang family's affairs. Then I'll see how your Jiang family will live."
Seeing the attitude of Old Gao's wife, Chen Xiaoqiong quietly walked away with her second sister.
Chen Xiaosong stood in front of her sister and said, "I've said that the Jiang family has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Haoran was scared and said to Chen Xiaoxiu, "Gao Lin is the same age as you. We watched him grow up. He is a very good child.
You played together when you were young. When girls are looking for a partner, they can't just look at the appearance. They have to find someone who understands them."
Chen Xiaoqiong and Chen Xiaocai came back soon. Chen Xiaoqiong took her eldest sister aside and whispered something. Chen Xiaocai also asked her younger brother to come over and whispered something to him.
After listening to the sisters' words, the four siblings came to Jiang Haoran.
Chen Xiaoxiu looked at Jiang Haoran coldly: "You are worse than a pig or a dog. No wonder my mother would rather raise four children by herself than leave any of us in the Jiang family. How can you be a father!"
Chen Xiaosong also said to Lao Gao's wife: "Aren't you going to publicize it? I suggest you buy a big speaker. If you think the sound is not loud enough, you can also find a reporter from the TV station. Such a ridiculous thing will definitely have a good ratings."
Just like that, before Lao Gao's wife and Jiang Haoran could react, the four siblings got in the car and drove away. All
that was left for them was the exhaust gas.
