Jiang Li jumped up from the bed when she smelled the fragrant chicken soup. Jiang Changyi's family was already seated at the dining table.

Jiang Li sat down without any hesitation, picked up a chicken leg and started to eat it. Old Mrs. Zhou felt so painful that she wanted to strangle her to death.

"Eat, eat, eat! What's the point of a little girl eating so much meat?

The men in the house are doing the heavy work and haven't eaten yet, but you are eating first."

Old Mrs. Zhou picked up the remaining chicken legs and gave them to Jiang Changyi. Jiang Li didn't say anything and just ate.

Since she traveled through time, her appetite has increased a lot.

The free-range chickens raised in this village are so delicious, the meat is so soft and tender that it falls off the bones easily.

Jiang Changyi stared at Jiang Li who was eating, "Li Li, you are married now, and my family is thinking of finding a family for you.

The young man is handsome and has a rich family background. He is a retired soldier. You will enjoy a good life if you marry him."

Listening to Jiang Changyi enumerating Qi Shaoqiang's conditions, Wang Juhua was as excited as fire. Such a good match should have belonged to her daughter Hongmei.

"Your uncle is so devoted to you that he even puts his own daughter behind. You must be filial to him in the future," Wang Juhua couldn't help but said in a sinister tone.

Jiang Changyi smiled, waved his hand, and patted Jiang Li's shoulder lovingly, "In my heart, you and Hongmei are the same.

I don’t expect you to be filial, just live your life well in the future.”

"If there is a chance, I would be happier if you two brothers and sisters take care of each other after I get the gift of heaven."

As Jiang Changyi was talking, his eyes became moist and he secretly turned around to wipe them.

Jiang Li looked touched but sneered inside. It was obviously Jiang Hongmei who didn't want to marry and let him take the blame, but Jiang Changyi could say that it was a good marriage specially chosen for Jiang Li.

If Mrs. Zhou from the Jiang family is vicious, then Wang Juhua is blatantly mean and petty, favoring her own children.

But the worst one was Jiang Changyi. He knew that Wang Juhua and Old Lady Zhou were mean to Jiang Li, but he didn't care at all.

He only occasionally made noodles in front of outsiders to show that he loved Jiang Li very much. When Jiang Li was hungry and had no rice, he would secretly give her a black-faced bun.

Poor Jiang Li believed it to be true, and for the sake of this pretended family affection, she worked like a slave in this family.

In the original novel, Jiang Li married Zhuang Guoliang. After Zhuang Guoliang became rich, the Jiang family still clung to Jiang Li and sucked her blood, demanding money, housing, and arrangements, without considering how Jiang Li would gain a foothold in the Zhuang family.

"Uncle, such a good marriage should be given to Sister Hongmei," Jiang Li said softly with timid eyes.

Jiang Changyi choked. What was he going to say? Could he say that the unfilial daughter didn't want to get married?

"Hongmei is not well educated, and she's afraid people will laugh at her if she marries into the city. At least you've received a high school degree, so you and Qi Shaoqiang can live together."

"Qi Shaoqiang? Isn't he engaged to Sister Hongmei? How can I marry my cousin's husband?"

Jiang Limian was shocked, but without stopping, he quietly put a steamed bun into his pocket.

Jiang Li stood up in horror, her expression firm, "Uncle, please stop talking, I am a person of integrity after all.

If this gets out, everyone will say that I stole my sister's marriage. How will I live in the future?

Even if I don't want to marry, I can't marry Qi Shaoqiang."

Wang Juhua clenched her hands and clenched her fists. How did this damn girl know what she was going to do?

Of course she was not happy about Jiang Li being given such a good marriage. She originally wanted to spread gossip about Jiang Li outside so that she would not have an easy life after getting married. She didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn.

"Li, how could you possibly say that? I promise you, when the time comes, we'll tell everyone that Hongmei is not in good health, so we called off the engagement."

"Jiang Changyi! What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Juhua said sharply, "How can Hongmei get married in the future if you say that?"

Who would want to marry a daughter-in-law with poor health?

Jiang Li still shook her head, "Uncle, I can't marry."

She walked out of the main room while chewing on a steamed bun. She had eaten half a bowl of plums today, and had also eaten a chicken leg and two chicken wings. Her belly was now full.

The room was filled with noise, and Jiang Li was annoyed, so she went out for a walk to help digest her food.

It was the hottest time of the day, and the villagers were either taking a break or eating. There was no one on the road.

Jiang Li walked around the village, and soon sweat appeared on her forehead. She took out her hand towel to wipe it, then stopped to rest under the shade of a tree by the stream, staring at the stream and thinking.

Can we catch two fish to satisfy our hunger?

"Eriya, why don't you want to marry me?"

Not far away, a man's angry voice sounded, "You have such a hard time in the Jiang family, do you want to waste your whole life in that hell?"

Jiang Li frowned and looked up, and a tall man in tattered clothes pushing a bicycle jumped into her sight.

He was well-born, with peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were slightly turned up. He stood across the stream and looked at her, his face full of anger and confusion.

"Who are you?"

Zhuang Guoliang clenched his fists. She actually didn't remember him.

He lifted up the bicycle frame, rolled up his trousers and waded across the stream, and walked to the other side of Jiang Li, "Don't you remember me? I'm Zhuang Guoliang, the one who sat behind you in elementary school..."

Jiang Li'ao interrupted him with a groan, "You're the guy in elementary school who always pulled my hair and put mud on my clothes, Zhuang Guoliang, right?"

"Keep your words down. I have nothing to do with you. If others hear me, they will think there is something wrong with my character!"

"What's that smell on you? It stinks!"

Jiang Li covered her nose and took two steps back. Zhuang Guoliang felt a little embarrassed.

He went to the county to sell pork this afternoon, and his body was stained with the smell of pig blood and sweat, which was not a good smell.

"Work has a taste, just wash it and it's fine, rural people are not that expensive.

You haven't answered my question yet, why don't you marry me?"

"Why should I marry you? I don't know you well, and you bullied me in elementary school.

Besides, you are idle and have no serious business, and you have two children with you."

Jiang Li counted a bunch of Zhuang Guoliang's shortcomings on her fingers. Zhuang Guoliang's face became worse and worse, and he blurted out, "Who else in your family can afford the betrothal gift except me?"

Jiang Li's face suddenly sank and she turned and left.

Zhuang Guoliang took two steps ahead of her and said, "Jiang Li, don't be angry, that's not what I meant.

I bullied you when I was in primary school because I was ignorant.

I have always liked you and wanted to be friends with you, but you always ignored me. "

"You like me? Then why don't you come to my house to propose marriage?"

Jiang Li crossed her arms across her chest. "You like me but you don't treat me well, and you still want to bully me? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"He liked me and married another woman and had two children with her.

If this is what you like, then your like is worthless! "

"It was just a mistake. I had to marry her."

Zhuang Guoliang covered his head with his hands and felt a terrible headache. "She was the one who came to me, and I couldn't control myself for a moment..."

Having said that, Jiang Li didn't want to stay for a moment and slandered his ex-wife who had given birth to two children for him.

The so-called men in this book are just that!

He is just a man who can't control his lower body, and is heartless and childish.

She pushed Zhuang Guoliang's hand away and walked quickly, hearing a man's shouting behind her.

"Eri, how come you're so strong now? You weren't like this before."

Jiang Li sneered and turned around and said, "If you accept it, you will just be at the mercy of others, and people like you will get more aggressive."
