170 Couple's Night Talk
Gao Qinghe turned off the lights, and Jiang Baohai immediately came over and hugged her tightly in his arms.
If she really counted, she couldn't remember being so close to someone for more than half a year.
For Jiang Baohai, the time was even longer, so long that he initially thought that the woman in his arms would completely disappear from his life.
This unexpected reunion made him extremely grateful. He was grateful that when he first saw her, he secretly made up his mind that no matter whether the melon was bitter or sweet, he would force it down.
As for the swollen face from hitting himself, let it be swollen. A real man should be able to bend and stretch.
Gao Qinghe felt the arm around her waist tighten again, and she struggled uncomfortably to move a little further away.
"It's hot." She grumbled.
It's summer, and there's no air conditioning or electric fan in the room. Once the door is closed, there's only one window for ventilation, which is already stuffy enough.
Jiang Baohai pressed against her like a stove, making her sweat.
Not long after taking a shower, Gao Qinghe felt sticky again. He was unhappy and no longer had any romantic thoughts.
Jiang Baohai thought to himself that his life was miserable, so he had no choice but to obey her and step back a little.
It was only a little bit, the hot chest was a fist away from her, and his arm was still on her.
After a while, he crawled under the hem of her clothes.
Gao Qinghe knew what this person wanted to do without thinking. For Jiang Baohai, that action was as natural as eating and drinking water.
In short, as long as two people hug each other, the big hands will become restless.
Gao Qinghe snorted in dissatisfaction, and immediately stopped moving his hands, as if he was a thief, sneaking around.
Gao Qinghe elbowed him lightly, then asked in a serious tone, "What are you talking about?"
"With these four uncles in your family, how on earth did you manage to endure the death of others in your previous life?"
Jiang Baohai's breath was caught, which really ruined the atmosphere.
He took a deep breath. He had never thought about this question before.
Thinking carefully about what happened in his previous life, Jiang Baohai probably found the reason.
"I'm not at home much, and the old men live close by. No matter how they scheme in private, from the outside, they serve as a shield, at least to prevent petty theft."
But that's not the point.
"I used to think it was better to avoid a falling out if possible. By not breaking up, we could maintain a superficial relationship, and it would be harder for them to openly plot against us."
"But if things had gone badly, I wouldn't be home, Xiaoyu would be at school, and my mom would be alone. Her bones would have been eaten by the aunts long ago."
Thinking of his mother's character, Jiang Baohai sighed, "She was sold and still had to pay people. That's exactly her. She's confused and can't tell who's inside and outside. My aunt is the most insidious. She's cheated my mother countless times under the guise of doing good for her, and she always thinks they're doing it for her own good."
"It seems like she can't live without these relatives and sisters-in-law."
Speaking of this, I think of the incident in my previous life when Jiang's mother committed suicide by taking medicine.
Gao Qinghe only knew about this matter from Jiang Baohai's reaction when he learned that Jiang Yu was bullied last time, and that the two were related.
But Jiang Baohai hasn't told her what exactly happened.
Thinking of this, Gao Qinghe turned around, and the two of them faced each other. She put one hand under her face and asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong with your mother?"
They have been together for two lifetimes, so there is nothing bad to say about Jiang Baohai.
He told Gao Qinghe that in his previous life, Jiang's mother had an argument with Jiang Yu and he accidentally said something provocative, which led to Jiang's mother committing suicide by taking medicine.
"Ah?" Gao Qinghe was shocked. He never expected that Jiang's mother would die in such a way.
She thought he had an incurable disease or something.
Looking at it this way, it’s no wonder that Jiang Yu never came back.
Perhaps he hated his brother for saying something he shouldn't have said, and felt guilty for the tragedy that occurred because of the argument between him and his mother.
Instead of remembering this incident when you see familiar surroundings and people, it is better to leave completely and forget the past.
Gao Qinghe speculated that Jiang's mother's condition might be related to her childhood family education environment.
It could also be a stress response caused by a sudden major accident.
Generally, people with strong personalities can adjust themselves and encourage themselves to move forward.
But just from her performance during their first meeting with Jiang's mother today, Gao Qinghe felt that her stepmother-in-law was a typical example of the previous generation.
Just like the Zhong family, compared to people like Old Lady Tian, they seem to lack self-awareness and can only be swept forward by the tide of the times.
It seems that they understand the truth, but in fact they still tacitly follow the old society's ways.
Because they are not strong.
Gao Qinghe never thought there was anything wrong with not being strong. People always have different characteristics. Women and men have strengths and weaknesses. Everyone is the same.
However, a few decades later, there seems to be new progress. At least, we no longer blindly pursue the goal of "you become stronger and I become stronger", but we also know how to go with the flow, gradually become self-consistent, and cooperate and coexist.
Mrs. Zhong and Jiang's mother were imprisoned by the social environment of the previous generation.
But it also provides a way of survival for "vulnerable groups" like them, where they can be lazy without any effort.
As long as they follow the rules of getting married, having children, being a good wife, educating their children well, and burning themselves to light up their families, they can survive.
When you are old and your children and grandchildren have grown up, if you have educated them well, you can enjoy the positive feedback from your descendants and live the rest of your life in peace.
Obviously, since Jiang's father's accidental death, Jiang's mother's way of survival has been forced to be interrupted.
So, based on what she had learned or seen before, she transferred her dependence on her husband to the Jiang family's relatives, hoping that they could protect her and her two daughters.
But this situation should have ended when Jiang Baohai became an adult.
Gao Qinghe asked suspiciously, "Do your aunts always instill in your mother the idea that sons forget their mothers when they marry, and that daughters will eventually marry into other families?"
Jiang Baohai shook his head. "I'm not usually at home, so it's usually evening when I get back."
Looking at his fragrant wife in front of him, Jiang Baohai's suppressed thoughts came to his mind again.
If Gao Qinghe is catnip, then Jiang Baohai is the cat who can't resist the temptation and always wants to get close to her.
He stretched out his long arms and forcefully embraced the person.
"With you at home from now on, I won't be afraid of falling out. If they make you uncomfortable, you can scold them or hit them as much as you want. If anything goes wrong, my husband will handle it... But don't break the law..."
He had the nerve to remind her.
"Who put me in jail in my previous life?"
As soon as she mentioned this, he got angry and bit her soft red cheek hard, causing Gao Qinghe to scream "Ah".
Jiang Baohai was so scared that he quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't shout!" he gasped warningly.
His mother lives next door, and the old house is not very soundproof.
Gao Qinghe pinched him unconvincedly. Jiang Baohai took a breath and his eyes became dangerous.
It says you can’t do strenuous exercise, but it doesn’t say you can’t do mild exercise.
