Jiang Li's mind was buzzing. She was only 15 years old before she traveled through time, and she was allowed to become a mother without any pain?
"If you like, he will come to our village to see you tomorrow."
"Xiaolan, forget it."
The reason why Jiang Li refused was not because she was rich and could not commit adultery, but because she was a clean freak.
Zhuang Guoliang would have to go to the pig farm every day in the future, and she couldn't eat when she thought about it.
Seeing Jiang Li's refusal, Li Chunlan sighed and nodded, "It's normal that you don't want to be willing. No matter who you are, you won't be willing to be a stepmother."
"It's just that Li Zi, there are too few families who can afford this much dowry. If you go back and forth like this, won't you waste your youth?"
"Xiao Lan, thank you for thinking about all this for me. If it weren't for your aunt secretly helping me these years, I don't know how I would have gotten by."
Jiang Li held Chunlan's hand gratefully. Li Chunlan pinched Jiang Li's face and said angrily, "What are you talking about! Your ex-aunt Shuzhen was so good to you.
Besides, we grew up together, and in my heart, you are no different from my own sister."
The Jiang family was shrouded in sorrow and no one cared about Jiang Li.
She went back to the woodshed, locked the door, took out a bun from her arms and took a small bite. A few stars appeared on the sparse roof of the woodshed, and the moonlight was bright.
I can't stay in the Jiang family anymore. These days, those who don't have a job can only go to the fields to earn work points, otherwise they will have to starve.
She can't do any farm work. Can she really change her situation by getting married?
No!
Even if I want to marry, it can't be Zhuang Guoliang.
The situation of the Zhuang family is too complicated. Zhuang Guoliang has an older brother and an older sister.
My elder sister is already married, and my two brothers have also married, and each family has at least two children.
Zhuang Guoliang's mother was a widow. She was capable and had the final say at home.
Several people in a large family live together without separating, and there are conflicts every now and then.
Jiang Li doesn't want to marry such a person, can't marry him, and doesn't dare to marry him. She still wants to find a reliable job.
Thinking about this, Jiang Li fell asleep in a daze, and was awakened by a loud noise in the morning.
She ignored it and turned over to continue sleeping, but unexpectedly the noise became louder and louder. Jiang Li got up, touching her hungry stomach, opened the door and went into the kitchen.
It was strange. In the past, the Jiang family went to the fields before dawn. What happened today?
Jiang Li ignored all this and took out two still hot eggs from the chicken coop, cooked them and ate them.
Wang Juhua's suppressed sobbing could be heard from the east room. "How could you be so cruel, you damn girl? How would Mom live if you died? Just don't marry me, isn't it okay?"
Jiang Hongmei, lying on the bed, looked pale, with a frightening bruise on her neck. She spoke with a broken voice, "Mom, let Jiang Li get married."
Mrs. Zhou on the side was furious, "Shut up, how could such a good marriage be hers?"
Wang Juhua wiped her tears and said, "Yes, Hongmei, if you don't want to marry Qi Shaoqiang, then we won't. Just go on another blind date. Why should Jiang Li marry him and enjoy a good life?"
Jiang Changyi had been smoking a dry cigarette and hadn't said anything the whole time. But when he opened his mouth, he said something earth-shattering, "Let Jiang Li marry!"
"Boss!"
"Changyi!"
"Rather than letting someone else get the marriage, it's better to give it to Jiang Li. After all, they are her grandparents and uncles. They raised her for so many years after her parents died.
If she didn't help them after she was so blessed, the whole village would poke her in the back. "
"Besides, Jiang Li is a soft-hearted girl who doesn't bear grudges. She always remembers the ties of blood and family.
Besides, the Jiang family is her natal family. She is a country girl who married into the city. She will have to rely on her natal family for support. How dare she treat us badly?"
This made sense, and both Wang Juhua and Old Lady Zhou couldn't help but nod their heads.
Old Mrs. Zhou hated in her heart, "The betrothal gift cannot be less, at least 100 yuan."
Her eldest grandson Tianci is still in middle school and is in the growth stage. She wants to use the betrothal money to support him.
"Okay, let's go to the fields!" Jiang Changyi pulled Wang Juhua away, "If you stay here and don't work, you'll be left starving at the end of the year!"
Wang Juhua looked at her daughter lying on the bed with some concern, "Hongmei, you heard it, your father agreed, don't do anything stupid again."
Jiang Li was eavesdropping while chewing a plum. When they arrived, she had already hidden in the woodshed.
Wang Juhua screamed in the yard, "Damn it! Who is so shameless and conscienceless that he stole all the plums from our house?"
Wang Juhua was cursing in the yard. Her plum tree was an old tree and the plums it produced were big and sweet.
It was finally almost cooked, and she kept a close eye on it these days, fearing that the children in the village would steal some of it.
I didn't expect it to be stolen before I even looked at it.
"Did that damn girl Jiang Li eat it?" Old Mrs. Zhou raised her walking stick and was about to settle the account. The plums were reserved for her eldest grandson. This damn girl was so shameless, how could she deserve to eat them?
Jiang Changyi held onto Old Lady Zhou and said, "Mom, don't you know how brave Jiang Li is? She doesn't dare to cheat."
Then he lowered his voice and scolded Wang Juhua, "Shut up, even if she ate it, you are not allowed to hit her these days."
When you get married, you have to remember the kindness of the Jiang family.
Jiang Changyi came to the woodshed and knocked on the door. "Lizi, your aunt has gone to the fields. Are you feeling better now? If you want to eat anything, ask your grandma to cook it for you."
Jiang Li opened the door after hearing Jiang Changyi's voice. She coughed continuously, her thin face pale. "Uncle, I'm still feeling dizzy. Maybe I was tired from climbing the mountain yesterday.
I fainted while going down the mountain, and the barefoot doctor from the brigade said I was malnourished and needed to take supplements.”
Jiang Changyi's face showed displeasure for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it and forced a smile, "Well, then I'll let you milk the chicken and give you a good rest."
Old lady Zhou was about to curse, but Jiang Changyi stopped her with a look. Jiang Changyi put his hands behind his back and said, "We are all tired of fighting for these days. We can get some profit from killing a chicken."
Mom, don't go to the fields today. The red plums and pears are all sick. Just stay at home and cook."
Although Mrs. Zhou was usually very powerful, she did not dare to object because her son had made up his mind.
She cursed as she washed clothes, fetched water, cut grass for pigs, killed chickens and cooked.
These jobs were usually done by Jiang Li after she came back from work. Zhou hadn't done them for years, so she did them all in one go, which made her exhausted.
