Chapter 17 Aunt Lan Meets Mother-in-law



On the other hand, Zhang Wenfang was so angry at Jiang Suinsui's attitude of breaking off relations that she couldn't sleep the whole night and was very resentful.

The next day, at dawn, before breakfast, she got up and went to Jiang Miaomiao's house. Jiang Miaomiao was preparing to go out to work. It was the autumn harvest season, and she was so busy every day that she almost didn't have the energy to get close to Song Weizheng.

"Jiang Miaomiao!" Zhang Wenfang called her at the gate of the courtyard.

Jiang Hongjun's family all looked over when they heard the voice. Zhang Cuihua looked at Zhang Wenfang suspiciously, then glanced at Jiang Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, why did Zhang Wenfang come to see you? Isn't she getting along well with Jiang Suinsui?"

"How should I know..." Jiang Miaomiao said as she wiped the table in a few strokes and threw the rag down. "I'll go ask her what's the matter. You guys go first, I'll come up soon!" After saying this, she hurried out.

Zhang Cuihua yelled at the back, "Don't waste your time, get to work on time, don't be late! Do you hear me? If you deduct your work points, I'll come back and beat you up!"

Jiang Miaomiao gritted her teeth and ignored her mother's words. She dragged Zhang Wenfang around a few corners and came to a deserted corner at the back of the house. She asked in a low voice: "Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Don't you know how to avoid people? If Jiang Suinshun sees us, won't she make trouble for me?"

Jiang Suinsui has never been on good terms with her. If she sees him hanging out with her good friend, she will definitely be furious.

Zhang Wenfang curled her lips: "What a joke! She's grown strong now and doesn't need friends anymore!"

"...What do you mean?" Jiang Miaomiao didn't understand. "You guys had a fight? Was it because of what I told you two days ago?"

"That's right!" Zhang Wenfang got angry when she talked about this. "It's all because of you that we went to persuade her to cancel the engagement. But she got angry and started to argue with us!"

"She, she doesn't want to break off the engagement?" Jiang Miaomiao's heart tightened, and she felt a little bad. If Jiang Suishun was still unwilling to break off the engagement and occupied Song Weizheng, then where would she be?

Zhang Wenfang said angrily, "Not only is she unwilling, but I see she likes Song Weizheng very much. For a man, she just gave up when her friend said no. Do you think she has grown cocky?"

"Who thinks she wants to play with her? Don't you see that besides me who feels sorry for her and Li Daidi fawning on her, who else wants to play with her?" Zhang Wenfang said with contempt, venting her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Miaomiao felt depressed after hearing this. She said unhappily, "Didn't you promise me that this would be easy to do? And you said she would listen to you in everything."

Zhang Wenfang was a little annoyed: "It was like this before! And we were the ones who encouraged her to pursue Song Weizheng. It looked like she was just playing. Who knew she was serious this time!"

Jiang Miaomiao's face was cold and she didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Wenfang got a little anxious: "Hey! I cut off all ties with her because of you. She can't blame me for not listening. You said before that you would take us to the educated youth camp to play, you have to keep your word!"

Jiang Miaomiao paused, then suddenly laughed: "Of course, no problem. Alas... Shunshun is a stubborn girl and doesn't like to be advised. But as her cousin, I can't just watch her go astray, so I can only ask you to help talk to her. Who knew she was so stubborn..."

Zhang Wenfang felt better after getting her consent, and said nonchalantly, "Why do you care about her? Her grandmother has already agreed to the marriage, so why are you interfering?"

"Could it be...that you also like Song Weizheng?" Zhang Wenfang suddenly said.

Jiang Miaomiao's face froze, and she quickly laughed and denied, "How is that possible..."

Zhang Wenfang pouted: "Don't deny it, I'm not a fool... Although I don't know what's so good about him, but if you really like him, just grab him, what's the problem?"

Jiang Miaomiao smiled awkwardly, but since she was seen through, she just said it openly: "Actually... I was the one who saw her first, but I was a step late, and Jiang Suishun got there first."

Wow, Zhang Wenfang widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "You really like him?"

"Tsk tsk tsk." She shook her head and looked Jiang Miaomiao up and down. "You Jiang family girls have very special tastes. They like the kind that are poor and hard. I get sick of his cold face. I really don't understand what's good about it!"

"That's not right!" Zhang Wenfang suddenly reacted, "Didn't you like that...that educated youth Shen before? Why did you suddenly change?"

"Who said I like Shen Zhiqing?" Jiang Miaomiao quickly retorted, "I have no interest in Zhiqing at all, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Wenfang didn't take it seriously: "Am I talking nonsense? If you don't like it, why do you go to the educated youth camp every day? And you've become familiar with the educated youth there."

Jiang Miaomiao forced a smile and said, "I wanted to see something new, to see what the cultured people from the city are like. Now I find that they are just so-so, not as capable as the people in our village!"

Zhang Wenfang disagreed: "That's not right! The intellectuals from the city were not born to work, they were born to hold pens and sit in offices! Who is like us, covered in dust all day long?"

Jiang Miaomiao laughed at her in her heart for being stupid and naive, but she didn't say anything: "Oh, yes, yes, maybe I'm not the same kind of person as them, so I can't get along with them."

Zhang Wenfang said proudly, "How about this? You take me to the educated youth camp to have a look around and get to know the people. Especially that educated youth Shen, so I can get to know what kind of person he is."

"No problem!" Jiang Miaomiao agreed readily, "You can ask Li Daidi to come along too. I heard that they are going to join the group in two days, so we can be a group then."

"Why bring her along... She doesn't have a penny on her. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go with her?" Zhang Wenfang muttered, somewhat reluctantly.

Jiang Miaomiao advised: "After all, she has contributed. She is your only friend now. Just bring her along as a companion. She can help you with anything you need."

Zhang Wenfang thought about it and reluctantly replied, "Okay, then remember to let me know in advance so I can prepare."

"Don't worry, I will." Jiang Miaomiao smiled brightly.

Afterwards, she watched Zhang Wenfang walk away briskly with a happy mood, and her face gradually darkened.

"What a waste of time. I can't even persuade Jiang Suishun." Jiang Miaomiao looked at the direction where Zhang Wenfang left and said to herself, "But it's still useful. At least she's stupid enough to like Shen Zhiwen."

Jiang Suinsui came to Song Weizheng's house with a still hot boiled egg in her arms.

At breakfast, Grandma Jiang cooked eggs for her. She resisted the urge to eat them and put them in her pocket to take out.

At this time, most people in the village have already gone to work. It is the busy autumn harvest season and they will not come back at noon. The village is quiet and empty.

Before she left, she asked Grandma Jiang and learned that Song Yuxue had not officially started working yet and usually just helped with odd jobs at home.

So Jiang Suisui took advantage of the fact that there were few people in the village and prepared to visit.

The gate was half-open but not locked, but for the sake of courtesy, Jiang Suisui reached out and knocked on the door first, shouting, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

After a while, she heard some faint movement inside and the sound of slow footsteps gradually approaching the door.

Jiang Suinsui retracted her arms and stood up straight, revealing a brilliant smile the moment the door was opened from the inside: "Hi! Song Yuxue..."

"……friend?"

Jiang Suisui was stunned when she saw the person appearing at the gate of the courtyard.

The person who came was not Song Yuxue, but a woman with a gentle temperament and pale face.

She stood tall, her hands on the gate, looking at Jiang Suisui with a gentle smile.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a look of sickly fatigue on her face, but her whole temperament was as graceful as an orchid, gentle and calm. Her long hair was simply tied up, giving her a simple and gentle beauty.

This shocked Jiang Suisui.

She had been here for more than half a month. Although she had not gone out to socialize, she had met many aunts and young girls in the village coming and going at home. However, none of them had the temperament and beauty like the woman in front of her.

"Mom! Who's here?" At this moment, a clear call suddenly came from inside the door. Jiang Suishun recognized that it was Song Yuxue's voice.

After a while, a small figure appeared at the door. She looked up and saw Jiang Suisui. She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "It's you? Why are you here?"

"Xiaoxue," the woman said sternly, "where are your manners? You should call me sister."

Song Yuxue was somewhat reluctant to hear this. She hesitated for a while and called out weakly, "Sister..."

Jiang Suisui waved her hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay! No need to call me sister, Xiaoxue and I are friends, it's okay to just call me by my name!"

Song Yuxue stared at her with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to ask, "Who is your friend?" But because her mother was right beside her, she held back.

The woman touched Song Yuxue's head, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Xiaoxue has a straightforward personality, please be more tolerant."

"No, no!" Jiang Suisui waved her hands repeatedly. She couldn't help but feel a little reserved in front of Aunt Wenrou. "Auntie, I'm sorry for coming to visit you so suddenly. Am I disturbing you?"

The woman shook her head and said with a smile, "You can call me Auntie Lan. Of course I'm not disturbing you. I'm very happy that someone can come. What's your name? Are you a friend Xiaoxue just met?"

This woman is Song Rulan, the mother of Song Weizhen and Song Yuxue.

As soon as Song Rulan saw Jiang Suisui, she felt that she had a bright smile and was enthusiastic and sunny, and she had an infinite affection for her. She thought to herself that her two children, her son was like a wolf, fierce and powerful. Her daughter was just like her name, cold as ice at a young age, and she didn't even have a playmate in the village.

Now a cheerful and enthusiastic girl came to her door and said she was Xiaoxue's friend. Of course Song Rulan welcomed her very much.

"Auntie Lan!" Jiang Suinsui smiled and replied, "My name is Jiang Suinsui! It's the one on the opposite corner."

Jiang Sui Sui?!

Song Rulan's heart moved. Isn't this the girl her son is engaged to?
