Jiang Li, this damn girl, always causes trouble when she stays at home. Now that she doesn't work anymore, she still wants to eat and drink at home.

It would be better to just marry her off so that she can get a dowry in return.

Jiang Hongmei was lying by the window in the main room, eavesdropping, extremely anxious.

Seeing her acting sneakily, Jiang Li was a little curious about what kind of harm these people were plotting.

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Hongmei raised her eyes, which startled Jiang Li.

Her flat, round face was pale, and it was painted like a palette, with bright red lips and dark eye sockets.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"I told you to stop stinking, now you've been beaten up!"

Jiang Hongmei wanted to touch Jiang Li's face, but when she thought about Zhuang Guoliang coming soon, she rolled her eyes and said, "Jiang Li, aren't you going to work yet?"

Jiang Li was very confused. Jiang Hongmei looked so shy and must have been holding her fart.

"What do you care if I go to work? What are you doing sneaking around here?"

"No, nothing!" Jiang Hongmei fiddled with her hair. She dressed up specially today and wore her most beautiful red dress.

If Jiang Lizhi were sent away, who knows, Zhuang Guoliang might fall in love with her!

"I haven't fully recovered from my illness yet, and the captain told me to rest at home for the next two days," Jiang Li said while glancing at Jiang Hongmei's expression.

Hearing that Jiang Li would not go out today, Jiang Hongmei's expression changed suddenly, "No, you can't stay at home today."

Jiang Li pretended not to know, "Why can't I be at home?"

"No, no, Jiang Li, you are free.

The soap at home is used up, go to the county supply and marketing cooperative and buy a new one."

"I'll give you money so you don't have to go there for nothing."

Jiang Hongmei had been taught a lesson by Jiang Li these days, so she didn't dare to obey orders as before, but tried to use inducement instead.

“How much can you give?”

"One cent... No, fifty cents."

Jiang Li held out her hand and said, "Five dollars, or no talk."

"Jiang Li, why are you so greedy? You took all the money in my room. I only have fifty-one cents left on me now," Jiang Hongmei stamped her feet in anger.

"Don't lie. You borrowed at least ten dollars from me in bits and pieces over the past few years."

"You gave it to me voluntarily, and besides, I've already spent it all."

"If you don't give it to me, then there's no need to talk," Jiang Li made a move to go back to the room, but was stopped by Jiang Hongmei.

She took out a few crumpled bills from her underwear pocket and said with tears in her eyes, "I really have no money."

Jiang Li picked up the money with her fingertips with some disgust, turned around and left.

Jiang Hongmei chased after him and shouted, "Jiang Li, you have to keep your word after you take the money. There are still clothes waiting to be washed at home."

Jiang Li packed up casually and prepared to go out. In fact, she had originally planned to go to the county to buy some clothes.

My original clothes were all patched up, and were really uncomfortable to wear.

With her head held high, Jiang Li got on the bus to the county town. On the other side, Zhuang Guoliang, who came by bicycle, was led to the Jiang family by Widow Liu.

"God-given mother, look who's here."

Zhuang Guoliang followed Widow Liu into the house, looked at the furniture in the yard, and frowned unconsciously.

The reason is simple: this family is too dirty.

The chickens in the yard were not let out, so they pooped freely, the ducks were running around in the vegetable patch, and dirty clothes were piled up in several large basins.

The weather was hot and the whole yard was filled with a sour smell of sweat, which almost made Widow Liu vomit.

She quickly covered her nose with her sleeve and said, "Why don't you clean up?"

Wang Juhua was so tired from massaging Old Lady Zhou's legs and shoulders that her back and waist ached. When she heard the voices, she hurried out of the main room.

When he saw Zhuang Guoliang, his eyes scanned him up and down. Zhuang Guoliang had dressed up very neatly for the meeting today, and with the bicycle he was pushing, he looked very impressive.

Wang Juhua was furious when she saw this. She had thought that her husband, who had two children, must be old and ugly, but she had never expected that he was not only young, but also seemed to be very rich.

"Auntie Liu is here. Please sit down."

Seeing that Wang Juhua did not take the initiative to speak, Widow Liu pinched her nose and said, "This is my relative from my mother's side, from the Bailutang production team next door, and he came to visit us."

"This kid came early in the morning. He was afraid of being late, so he borrowed the team's bicycle. Can you see how much he values ​​your Jiang Li?"

Wang Juhua suddenly felt a mixture of contempt and relief, for it turned out that the bicycle was borrowed.

Her attitude became a little more enthusiastic. "Oh, you are the manor of Bailutang, right? Please sit down."

Zhuang Guoliang walked up and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie Wang."

He took two steps forward, and Wang Juhua finally saw his face clearly, gritted her teeth secretly.

Jiang Li is really lucky. Although Zhuang Guoliang's family is poor and he has two children, they look pretty good.

On second thought, good looks cannot be used to make a living.

It would be best if Jiang Li was attracted by this man's good looks and married him to live a hard life.

Thinking of this, Wang Juhua felt relieved and shouted towards the east room, "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, come out."

After shouting for a long time, there was no response. Instead, Jiang Hongmei came out of the kitchen shyly, bringing two bowls of water.

One bowl was specially placed in front of Zhuang Guoliang, "Brother Zhuang, drink some water. I added sugar to this water, it tastes better."

Zhuang Guoliang was so absorbed in Jiang Li that he paid no attention to Jiang Hongmei pouring water in front of him.

Widow Liu, on the other hand, took a sip from the tea bowl, then spurted it all out. She laughed so hard that she fell backwards, "Hongmei, did someone hit you in the face?"

Wang Juhua took one look at Jiang Hongmei's face and was almost scared to death.

She pulled her eyes away and stared at Zhuang Guoliang's daughter, cursing in a low voice, "Go back to your room. Jiang Li is having a blind date, what are you doing here!"

Jiang Hongmei broke free from her mother's hand and said angrily, "Aunt Liu, you are such a joker. Am I not the same as usual?"

Seeing Jiang Hongmei twisting her body, Wang Juhua was quite confused. Hongmei was probably bewitched by this young man and was thinking of arranging a blind date for Jiang Li!

"Go back to the house quickly and call Jiang Li out," Wang Juhua pinched Jiang Hongmei hard. Jiang Hongmei cried out in pain and fell onto Zhuang Guoliang.
