Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Wu Shuangshuang: "I want her to...
Jiang Qiuyue thought that it would not happen, but Wu Shuangshuang did not think too much about it. "She is just a little girl, how can she get away with it?"
"There is still a way." Jiang Qiuyue moved her little head, "Anyway, we just need to keep a close eye on them. We can only feel at ease after sending them away."
"Then I'll let Daya keep an eye on them and inform us if anything happens." Wu Shuangshuang said.
As a result, the next day, Daya came and said that Lin Tao had gone out.
Jiang Qiuyue took Wu Shuangshuang to look for people without saying a word. Everyone in the courtyard was a familiar face, and after asking casually, they found out that Lin Tao had gone to the river.
"What is she doing at the river?" Wu Shuangshuang was wondering when she saw Lin Tao, while Jiang Qiuyue saw Xiao Li riding a bicycle.
Before Jiang Qiuyue could answer, Lin Tao fell into the water with a splash, shouting for help.
At this time every day, Xiao Li would get documents for his superior. When he heard someone shouting for help, he quickly jumped down and ran to the river.
Seeing that it was a girl drowning, he was about to take off his clothes to save her without thinking, but was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Xiao Li, don't move. She's just a little girl. We can take care of her." The moment Jiang Qiuyue saw Lin Tao jump into the river, she knew what Lin Tao was planning. Good guy, she actually wanted to use this method to get close to Xiao Li.
Wu Shuangshuang had already taken off his shoes and went into the river. He slapped Lin Tao and said, "Stop yelling and get out of here."
Lin Tao was dragged ashore. It was freezing cold. Wu Shuangshuang had always disliked Lin Tao, and now she wanted to kill her. "Shut up and go home now."
Lin Tao was still pretending, "Cousin, I fell into the water accidentally, why...why did you hit me?"
She covered her face and acted pitiful, hating Wu Shuangshuang and Jiang Qiuyue in her heart. She saw Xiao Li coming every day and knew that he was someone close to the leader and must be very powerful, so she specifically asked about Xiao Li's approximate schedule.
It was just a little bit short. If Jiang Qiuyue and Wu Shuangshuang hadn't come, it would have happened by now.
"You know why I hit you. If you don't want me to make a scene now, go home immediately!" Wu Shuangshuang pointed in the direction of home.
Lin Tao looked at Xiao Li unwillingly and could only go home first.
Seeing that Xiao Li was still confused, Jiang Qiuyue told Xiao Li to deliver the documents quickly, "Don't think about it, this has nothing to do with you."
"Sister-in-law, are you really okay? Why do I feel weird?" Xiao Li hasn't figured out the trick here.
Jiang Qiuyue said it was fine. "The people were rescued safely. What could possibly happen? Go and get busy. Don't delay delivering the documents to Commander Yu."
After watching Xiao Li leave, Jiang Qiuyue picked up Wu Shuangshuang's shoes, thinking that Wu Shuangshuang was so angry that she forgot to wear her shoes.
However, Wu Shuangshuang took Lin Tao home to deal with it, probably because she didn't want to let the people in the family compound know, otherwise their family would also be talked about, so she didn't say much to Xiao Li.
But she knew that Lin Tao was not an easy person to deal with, so just in case, she had to find someone to testify for Wu Shuangshuang to prevent Lin Tao from causing trouble again.
On the other side, Wu Shuangshuang dragged Lin Tao into the yard. Shu Sanmei saw that both of them were wet, frowned and asked what was wrong.
Lin Tao started crying as soon as she saw Shu Sanmei, "Aunt, I..."
"Shut your stinky mouth and change my clothes first. Don't think you can delay time just because you are sick!" Wu Shuangshuang said and went back home. After changing her clothes, she saw that her mother-in-law looked unhappy. When she got home, she no longer gave Lin Tao face. "Mom, do you know what Lin Tao did?"
"What could she do?" Shu Sanmei couldn't imagine what Lin Tao, a little girl, could have done to make Wu Shuangshuang so angry.
"In order to stay, Lin Tao deliberately jumped into the river, hoping that the man would come to rescue her so that she could rely on him!"
Wu Shuangshuang became more and more angry as she spoke, slamming the table and saying, "If I hadn't happened to see her today and she had succeeded, do you know what the people in the family compound would say about us? They would point at our faces and scold us for being shameless and having no self-respect!"
Shu Sanmei was confused. "Shuangshuang, you need to explain clearly, what did Tao do?"
"Aunt, I really didn't jump into the river on purpose."
At this point, Lin Tao refused to admit it and knelt on the ground, saying, "I know my cousin's wife hates me, but I'm leaving soon. Why do you still slander me like this? Which girl would abandon her innocence and rely on a strange man?"
Lin Tao cried heartbrokenly. She held Shu Sanmei's hand and emphasized that she fell into the water accidentally.
Shu Sanmei looked at Lin Tao, then at Wu Shuangshuang, "Yes, Shuangshuang, I watched Tao grow up, she couldn't possibly do such a thing. Did you see her wrongly, or misunderstand her?"
"Misunderstanding? I saw it clearly, how could it be a misunderstanding?" Wu Shuangshuang saw it with both eyes, "Lin Tao, stop pretending here, I know your little tricks clearly!"
At this time, Lin Juexing and Lin Wu came back from outside. After hearing what Shu Sanmei had said, Lin Wu immediately said with a dark face, "Cousin, you can choose not to help us, but you can't slander us, right?"
Lin Juexing was also unhappy, "Wu Shuangshuang, I know you look down on our Lin family, but what you did is really too much. If Lin Tao really did it on purpose, why did you save her?"
Wu Shuangshuang was almost mad. Yes, she should have let Lin Tao soak in the river. She was afraid that too many people would see her, so she pulled Lin Tao out to save face for the Lin family.
Now, they are turning the tables on me.
Lin Tao was still crying, "My cousin's wife slandered me like this. How can I still live with dignity? I might as well die."
She was about to hit the wall, but was stopped by her brother.
"Let's just go. We don't want to take advantage of them, or we might get killed here." Lin Wu said angrily.
After listening to what the brother and sister said, Lin Juexing felt that he had lost all his face. How would he go back to the village in the future?
"Wu Shuangshuang, hurry up and apologize to Lin Tao. It's possible that you made a mistake for a moment." Lin Juexing ordered, "If you are still a member of our Lin family, you will do as I say!"
Shu Sanmei also nodded, "Yes, Shuangshuang, it's good that you saved Tao, but you can't slander her for doing it on purpose. We can't be like this, otherwise when your father and I return to the village, how are we going to face your fifth uncle and fifth aunt?"
Wu Shuangshuang was almost mad, "Why do you only believe her and not me?"
She yelled, only to find that they were looking at her with displeasure. At that moment, she understood what it felt like to be heartbroken.
At this time, Lin Tao whispered again, "Uncle and aunt, please don't force my cousin's wife. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this when we return to the village. Don't quarrel over me, or I'll be really worried."
As she spoke, she held her brother's hand and sobbed softly. Lin Wu looked even more angry, "That won't do. We are staying at her house for a few days, but there is no reason for us to be bullied like this."
"Who is bullying whom?"
Jiang Qiuyue knew that Lin Tao might turn the tables, so she looked around the river and actually found a few people, who were actually staff members of the Women's Federation.
She quickly pulled Zhu Caixia and the others over, and when she pushed the door open, she stood next to Wu Shuangshuang, "Lin Tao, you are so shameless. Sister Shuangshuang originally saved face for you, but you didn't want it. Don't blame me for being rude."
Zhu Caixia looked at Lin Tao and confirmed, "It was her, for sure. When we passed by, we were thinking that the weather was good today, but we saw her jump in by herself."
"Who are you and what right do you have to slander my sister?" Lin Wu jumped out on the spot, unhappy.
Lin Tao didn't expect Jiang Qiuyue to find a witness, and she was so embarrassed that her brain stopped for a moment.
Shu Sanmei had been to the family home several times and knew Zhu Caixia, the director of the Women's Federation. She softened her tone and asked, "Director Zhu, is there any misunderstanding, or did you see it wrong?"
Until now, Zhu Caixia still hadn't figured out what happened, but she could see clearly and emphasized, "Auntie, I'm not presbyopic, how could I be wrong? And I'm a staff member of the Women's Federation, I value seeking truth from facts, and I will never wrongly accuse anyone."
She pointed at Lin Tao and said, "We saw this little girl jump down by herself. We were in a nearby office building at the time and we were so scared that we ran down quickly. Fortunately, your Shuangshuang was there and rescued her. But Shuangshuang, what happened? Why did your relative want to jump into the river?"
At this point, Wu Shuangshuang didn't give the Lin family face anymore. "She's not being too optimistic. She's too optimistic! The river water can't even reach her neck. She's just thinking about climbing up the social ladder and relying on a man so that she can stay."
She didn't point out Xiao Li because she cared about his reputation.
After hearing what Wu Shuangshuang said, Zhu Caixia's expression changed immediately, "Is this true?"
"Yes, I can swear to heaven that if I tell a lie, I, Wu Shuangshuang, will be struck to death by lightning tomorrow!" Wu Shuangshuang looked at Shu Sanmei and others with resentment, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Tao, "What about you, do you dare to swear?"
Lin Tao didn't dare because she was afraid of being struck to death.
Seeing that Lin Tao was speechless, Shu Sanmei's face was already red, and she didn't dare to look at Wu Shuangshuang. After all, they had always thought that Wu Shuangshuang had wronged Lin Tao, but Director Zhu came to testify that it was Lin Tao who wanted to jump into the river.
Lin Juexing understood what was going on, but still wanted to save face, "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, the girl doesn't have that many thoughts. Director, you guys have made a hard trip, we will persuade Lin Tao. Shuangshuang, stop talking, send Director and the others out quickly."
Lin Juexing meant that family disgrace should not be made public, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it any more. So, while not many people know about it, he asked Director Zhu and the others to leave first, and they would handle it privately.
Wu Shuangshuang, however, was not one to tolerate. She immediately snorted, "Dad, what do you mean a little girl doesn't have that many thoughts? That's not what you said just now. You said I was narrow-minded and deliberately wronged Lin Tao. Now that there is a witness, you are afraid of being embarrassed and want me to cover up for you. I can't swallow this."
"Lin Tao, why don't you say anything? Why don't you insist that you fell into the water accidentally? If Qiuyue hadn't been smart enough to find a witness, I would be more wronged than Dou E today!"
"Cousin, I..."
"Don't cry. I want to slap you now that I see you crying." Wu Shuangshuang glared at Lin Tao and turned to look at Zhu Caixia. "I'm sorry, Director Zhu, you guys took all the trouble to come here. Fortunately, you guys are here, otherwise I really can't live like this. The thing is just as I said just now, this Lin Tao has bad intentions, can I apply to arrest her for labor reform?"
The word "labor reform" frightened Lin Tao so much that she couldn't stand. Her knees went weak and she knelt on the ground.
Zhu Caixia said that it didn't count as labor reform, after all, Lin Tao didn't push anyone else into the river, it was Lin Tao who jumped into the river herself.
"Okay, then you guys stand here as witnesses, I'll handle this myself." Wu Shuangshuang looked at Jiang Qiuyue and nodded at her, and instantly felt more confident. "Mom and Dad, now that things have come to this, are you on my side or Lin Tao's side?"
Lin Juexing: "Shuangshuang, we are all family. There is no need to make such a fuss in front of outsiders, right?"
"Dad, when you bullied me just now, you didn't say we were a family. Since you are Lin Rong's parents, I'll ask you one last time, whose side are you on?" Wu Shuangshuang had already clenched his fists.
Lin Juexing didn't want to embarrass himself in front of so many people, and he was about to speak, but Shu Sanmei pulled him back, signaling him to stop.
This time, Shu Sanmei felt that her daughter-in-law was really angry. They had wronged her just now. No matter how much she wanted to save face, she couldn't say anything more. She looked at Wu Shuangshuang and said, "It was our fault just now. We really didn't expect Lin Tao to do such a thing. We stand on your side."
Wu Shuangshuang felt a little better after hearing what her mother-in-law said. "If that's the case, you two should just go to the side and stop interrupting me."
She went to see Lin Tao and his sister again, "We gave you food and shelter with good intentions, but it turned out to be a grudge. Lin Tao, you came to my house to sow discord and cause trouble, and you deserve this slap in the face."
As she spoke, Wu Shuangshuang raised her hand and slapped Lin Tao hard. After she finished speaking, she slapped her backhand again, "If the slap just now didn't make me feel better, I'll slap you again. And you, Lin Wu, you're a big-headed idiot with a brain full of shit. This is my home, and I won't make up lies just to drive you away."
"Hurry up and pack your things. Go to the train station today. You don't have to wait until tomorrow. Just stay at the train station tonight. Otherwise, if you sleep too well, you'll find ways to bother me again."
Lin Wu didn't expect that his sister did it on purpose. He was scolded by Wu Shuangshuang, his cheeks were burning, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Lin Tao bit her lip and wanted to say a few words to defend herself, but Director Zhu and Jiang Qiuyue were watching. She felt that these people could see through her thoughts at a glance, making her feel that no matter what she said, they might be used to hold her accountable.
Seeing that the Lin siblings were silent, Wu Shuangshuang continued, "And Mom and Dad, I will go back with Lin Tao and his sister tomorrow. I will not give up on this matter. I will ask my uncle and aunt how I have done anything wrong to them to let these little bitches harm me!"
"If you still want to save face, then stay here and take care of Daya and the others. Otherwise, when I get angry, you won't be able to look good."
Wu Shuangshuang will not let Lin Tao and Lin Wu go back on their own, otherwise the right and wrong will all depend on them.
She had to go back and give the villagers a good beating to let them know how powerful she was, so that Lin Tao wouldn't confuse right and wrong and say that she was the one at fault.
"Shuangshuang, why are you doing this?" Lin Juexing asked.
"I was the one who was offended just now, and I was also the one who was blamed by you all. Dad, why are you asking me this? Then you should go back with me. I will talk to the village chief and tell him what you asked Lin Rong and I to do to help those relatives over the years. Let me see how much hard work I have put in!" Wu Shuangshuang was stubborn this time and did not leave Lin Tao any leeway.
Lin Tao was really scared now, and knelt down and said, "Cousin, I really didn't mean to embarrass you, I just want to live a better life. Please, don't go back to the village, I promise, I will never say anything nonsense after I go back!"
She took her brother's hand and motioned for him to plead with her.
But Wu Shuangshuang didn't listen to their explanation. "If I'm soft-hearted, I'm a fool. You guys go collect the things, or I'll take action and I won't be polite."
She turned around to thank Director Zhu and the others and saw them out.
Jiang Qiuyue asked Wu Shuangshuang if it was okay to go back alone, "Do you want Lin Rong to go with you?"
"No need. There are some things that Lin Rong can't do." Wu Shuangshuang said.
"Then I'll go with you?" Jiang Qiuyue was afraid that Wu Shuangshuang couldn't defeat them alone. "One more person means more help. I'll go and help you hold the fort."
Wu Shuangshuang still said no, holding Jiang Qiuyue's hand, her eyes red, "I'm very happy that you have this intention. Thanks to you, otherwise I would really be wronged. Don't worry, there are still my brother-in-law and sister-in-law in the village. They are usually taken care of by me and Lin Rong. If I go to make trouble, they will follow me. My parents-in-law are the kind who can't lose face, so I won't let them go back, otherwise if the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt make trouble in front of them, they will make a big deal out of a small matter. This Lin Tao is really not an easy person to deal with. I will make her unable to raise her head in the village in the future!"
Hearing that Wu Shuangshuang had help, Jiang Qiuyue felt more at ease. "Yes, if you don't ruin her reputation, there will always be people who believe what she says. Who knows what others will say about you then."
"Yes, Lin Rong and I are not in the village, so I have to go back." Wu Shuangshuang took a deep breath, "It's good to make a fuss like this. Look at my parents-in-law, they don't dare to talk about face anymore. I used to be annoyed that they always did things for the sake of face. This time they are making excuses, I have to control them well and see if they dare to trouble Lin Rong and me in the future!"
After saying that, Wu Shuangshuang said that he was going to chase the people away, and asked Jiang Qiuyue to go back first. He would share the battle process with Jiang Qiuyue when she came back from the village.
When Wu Shuangshuang returned, Lin Tao and his sister had packed their things. Lin Rong had not come back yet, so Wu Shuangshuang asked them to wait for the car by themselves and did not allow Shu Sanmei and Lin Juexing to see them off.
She just gave a look, and Shu Sanmei pulled Lin Juexing into the room.
"What are you pulling me for?" Lin Juexing was unhappy.
Shu Sanmei tutted her tongue, "What are you still doing? We are the ones who are at fault this time. Do you really want to see Shuangshuang and her son divorce?"
Lin Juexing was silent. He could not imagine that Lin Tao could do such a thing. He could not even speak at home. "Then, will we have to live our lives at the mercy of Wu Shuangshuang from now on?"
"Just bear with it. Do you really want to go back now?" Shu Sanmei kept sighing. "Who made us not know who we are and run into this disaster, Lin Tao? Shuangshuangai can do whatever she wants to Lin Tao. We just pretend we don't know. Don't mention this matter when you go back to the village. Do you understand?"
Lin Juexing snorted. It was all he could do. Lin Tao, that damned girl, was really hateful. They had come here to enjoy themselves, but now they couldn't even breathe, fearing that Wu Shuangshuang would bring up this matter.
Shu Sanmei also did not dare to make a sound, nor did she dare to take out the secret recipe she brought to Wu Shuangshuang, because they had just wronged Wu Shuangshuang. She did not dare to make a fuss again, otherwise her son and daughter-in-law would quarrel again, and it would really be their fault.
The next morning, Wu Shuangshuang went to the train station with her bag. Before leaving, she asked Jiang Qiuyue to help look after the child. Her parents-in-law must not dare to go out these days, fearing that people would gossip about them.
Jiang Qiuyue agreed to pick up and drop off Daya every day. After sending Wu Shuangshuang away, she received a letter from Gao Juanjuan.
After Ji Haining learned that Lin Nannan was willing to talk, he wanted to come over to take a look. After hearing about it, the two children, Wei Guo and Wei Lan, wanted to eat the food cooked by Jiang Qiuyue, but Gao Juanjuan was not free, so she could only let Ji Haining bring the two children over. She asked Jiang Qiuyue if she was free.
Jiang Qiuyue was free, so she immediately wrote a reply to Gao Juanjuan.
On Saturday, she went to the village early in the morning, took the white sugar sent by Xiao Li, and asked Grandma Wang to help her exchange it for a chicken.
At the end of the year, some families need candy for weddings. Some people cannot afford to host a banquet, so they just give gifts of peanuts, melon seeds and candy.
Grandma Wang said that if you have extra candy and cloth coupons, you can exchange them. "Next month, the production team will kill the New Year pig. Some people are reluctant to eat meat. Your family has a lot of good things, and everyone wants them."
Jiang Qiuyue said yes. "I don't have any more cloth coupons. There are not enough for my family. I had to get some extra so I could buy winter cotton-padded clothes for my children. But I still have some candy and grain coupons."
The reason why there were extra food coupons was because Chief Yu gave a lot. Jiang Qiuyue was afraid of being reported, so she confiscated Chief Yu's meal money. Therefore, Chief Yu's tickets and benefits were all sent to Jiang Qiuyue's home. Jiang Qiuyue used the extra tickets to exchange for some food, which was considered as adding more dishes to the family.
Before leaving, Grandma Wang gave Jiang Qiuyue a bag of dried kelp, which she got herself. Every time Jiang Qiuyue came, she would bring her something, and they would give each other some food, as a token of their appreciation.
Jiang Qiuyue took the chicken and dried kelp and rode her bicycle home.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she heard Lin Beibei showing off her airplane model to Chen Weiguo.
"Brother Weiguo, be careful, don't break it." Lin Beibei and Chen Weiguo squatted on the ground.
Chen Weiguo couldn't take his eyes off the airplane model. "Beibei, your model is so beautiful. You are so lucky!"
Lin Beibei nodded and said, "Yes, this is the treasure that Grandpa Yu gave me. I don't want to let anyone else play with it. I only share it with you."
Hearing Lin Beibei say that she only shared it with him, Chen Weiguo was even more moved, "Beibei, you are so kind, why don't we become sworn brothers? We don't ask to be born on the same day, but we ask to die on the same day!"
Lin Beibei thought about it and shook his head, "That won't work. You are several years older than me."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw his mother push the door open and ran over excitedly, "Mom, brother Weiguo and sister Weilan are here!"
Chen Weiguo hurriedly greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Jiang, my sister and Doctor Ji are in the room."
Seeing the chicken in the basket, Chen Weiguo's eyes lit up instantly, "Aunt Jiang, are we having chicken today?"
Jiang Qiuyue smiled and said yes, then handed the chicken to Lin Beibei who offered to help, and asked Lin Zhengrong to kill the chicken after entering the house.
Lin Zhengrong had been accompanying his daughter the whole time. He thought Ji Haining was an older doctor, but he didn't expect him to be a young man.
He looked at Ji Haining deliberately before taking his son to kill the chicken.
Jiang Qiuyue washed her hands, sat down, and asked Ji Haining how he was.
"Sure enough, the bond between family members can overcome everything. I checked Nan Nan and she is fine." Ji Haining came here with the army's car on purpose and would go back after lunch.
Jiang Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the test results were normal. "Before, I was wondering if we would have to wait for a long time. Now Nan Nan doesn't talk much, but is willing to communicate with us briefly. I am already very satisfied."
"Yes, take your time." Ji Haining pushed his glasses. Chen Weilan, who was standing beside him, had been watching them impatiently. When she learned that Ji Haining had finished the examination, she immediately pulled Lin Nannan to try on the hair ornaments she brought.
Chen Weilan likes this little sister Lin Nannan very much. She is more obedient than Chen Weiguo and looks especially cute. Every time she sees Lin Nannan, she wants to comb her hair and dress her up.
"Aunt Jiang, when we have winter vacation, please let Beibei and Nannan come to our house to play. My grandma is still thinking about them." Chen Weilan said.
Jiang Qiuyue had no objection. "As long as they are willing to go, I will send them there."
She had a good impression of the Gao family, a family of good character.
After hearing Lin Zhengrong say that the chicken was ready, Jiang Qiuyue stood up and went to get her apron. "You guys sit and play, I'll go cook for you. I soaked some wild mushrooms, we'll have chicken stewed with mushrooms today!"
