Without even raising her head, Shen Jiaojiao said calmly, "It's not something rare, just some wild vegetables. I'm sure Aunt Jiang wouldn't even look at them."
The smile on Jiang's mother's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Seeing that the wild vegetables on the ground had not been picked yet, she quickly squatted down and picked a few handfuls.
While inserting, he did not forget to squeeze Shen Jiaojiao a few words: "Look at what Jiaojiao said, now, as long as it is food, it is rare."
Shen Jiaojiao quickened her movements and ignored him. Shen Wensong, who was standing beside her, held a basket in one hand, on guard against Jiang's mother, and quickly picked wild vegetables with the other hand.
As for the verbal battles between the two of them, he never paid any attention to them.
When there was only one wild vegetable left, Shen Jiaojiao grabbed it first.
"Oh, Jiaojiao is still young, her hand speed is really fast!"
Shen Jiaojiao raised the corners of her lips and looked at her: "Although Aunt Jiang is a little old, she is still very fast and strong."
The smile on Jiang's mother's face froze. "Can you speak? You are older!"
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Jiaojiao was still somewhat useful, she would have broken off the engagement long ago given the current state of his family. There was no need for her to watch this little bitch acting weird here.
“Jiaojiao, you are lucky, auntie will go with you,” and said as if she didn’t see the ugly expression on Shen Jiaojiao’s face, and took her wrist affectionately.
"Jiaojiao, you've seen it too, Huaichuan has lost a lot of weight recently, and as his mother, I'm so distressed."
Shen Jiaojiao's expression eased a lot when she heard this. Jiang's mother curled her lips slightly. She was just a little girl, and she couldn't control her.
She has been a widow for so many years and is very good at saving time and money. Otherwise, she would not have lived so well all these years raising her son alone.
It is very important to know when to treat whom and with what attitude, and she has mastered it over the years.
As for face, it should be abandoned when it is time to abandon it. Face is something that should be kept when it is useful. What is the point of keeping it in the current situation?
Although Shen Jiaojiao's expression only eased a little, Jiang's mother still seized the opportunity.
"Jiaojiao, Huaichuan has suffered a lot of setbacks during this period, which he has never encountered before. Not to mention you, even his attitude towards me as his mother has changed a lot. Don't bother with him."
As he spoke, he pulled up the back of Shen Jiaojiao's hand and patted it gently a few times to comfort her, "Auntie will talk to him later. If you miss such a good girl, where will you find her in the future?"
After she reminded him, Shen Jiaojiao's face darkened a little, but after hearing what Jiang's mother said, she softened and responded coldly: "Yeah."
Mother Jiang said a few more nice words to coax Shen Jiaojiao. After that, Shen Jiaojiao found some wild vegetables and a nest of pheasant eggs. She gave them all to Mother Jiang and asked her to take them back to nourish Jiang Huaichuan.
The smile on Jiang's mother's face became softer, and she held Shen Jiaojiao in an intimate manner.
Shen Wensong on the side wanted to say something, but when he thought of Shen Jiaojiao's attitude during this period, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Forget it, after all, we still have them at home, and these were found by my aunt, so let her do what she wants.
How could Shen Jiaojiao not know that Jiang's mother was just coaxing her, but she couldn't let go for the time being and planned to give Jiang Huaichuan another chance.
If he ignores me like before, then...
There was a ruthless flash in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes. Don't blame her for not remembering the old friendship!
Brother Huaichuan!
That night, Shen Huaichuan rarely saw a plate of scrambled eggs on the table. He ate in silence, picking up half for his mother and eating the other half himself.
As for where the eggs came from, he didn't ask. He obviously knew that with his mother's ability, she couldn't get pheasant eggs, so the only one could be Shen Jiaojiao.
These three words lingered on my lips for a long time, and finally, after finishing my meal, I said it out loud: “Mom, don’t take Shen Jiaojiao’s things anymore, and don’t take advantage of her.”
Jiang's mother was startled, and she obviously disagreed with what her son said. If she could just coax him with a few nice words, why not!
Besides, she got it through her own ability.
Shen Jiaojiao happened to come to find Jiang Huaichuan, and heard what the mother and son said, and immediately hid behind a tree.
"Mom, you listen to me on this matter."
This time, Jiang Huaichuan's attitude was unusually firm. After hearing this, Jiang's mother nodded blankly.
After a while, he asked softly, "Huaichuan, why?"
Shen Jiaojiao, who was behind the big tree, pinched the trunk hard with her fingers. Yes, she also wanted to know why!
Why am I so good to him, but he still can't see me in his heart or even in his eyes!
Jiang Huaichuan pinched his brows, realizing that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, his mother would do it again in the future.
"Mother, have you ever made any mistakes in what I asked you to do?"
Jiang's mother shook her head, then seemed to remember something and nodded.
"Chen Jiaojiao, isn't it you who asked for it by name? That's why mother arranged this marriage for you, but now..."
This marriage doesn’t seem to be very good!
Despite Jiang Huaichuan's increasingly sinister eyes, he didn't say the last sentence.
When Jiang Huaichuan mentioned this, he was filled with anger and said in a low voice, "Mom, I clearly told you that the person I wanted to marry was A-Li!"
"But what about you? How did you do it?"
"Ah, you despised Ah Li for being weak and not being favored by her parents, so you took it upon yourself to marry me to Shen Jiaojiao, and yet you still don't repent!"
Although Jiang Huaichuan lowered his voice, the anger and loss in his voice could not be hidden.
After being yelled at by her own son, Jiang's mother finally realized that she had indeed acted on her own initiative. It was indeed a foregone conclusion that when her son returned from the academy a month later, the matter would have been settled.
In addition, during that period of time, Shen Jiaojiao could indeed help their family, so after repeated consideration, the marriage was not cancelled.
"Huaichuan, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will listen to you from now on."
Jiang Huaichuan saw the expression on his mother's face and realized that she was no longer perfunctory like before, and her attitude had softened a lot.
"Mom, don't act on your own in the future. Remember what your son said. I won't harm you."
"Yeah, mom knows."
Jiang's mother smiled again. What Huaichuan said was true. The mother and son had depended on each other for many years, and he would definitely not harm her.
The atmosphere between mother and son was harmonious and happy, but the same could not be said for Shen Jiaojiao behind the tree.
It wasn't until she heard their conversation today that Shen Jiaojiao suddenly realized, so, that's how it is!
