Jiang Xiuxiu's face looked a little embarrassed and confused.

Jiang Suinsui was also confused. Didn’t you run away from this marriage on your own?

She smiled awkwardly, trying to break the awkward atmosphere: "Well, it's a blind date, so anyone can meet me, right?"

Jiang Xiuxiu looked at her sister's expression and explained carefully, "Sister, their family came to our house that day, and Mom said that if we didn't send someone out, we would lose face, so I..."

"What do you mean by talent?" Jiang Miaomiao asked unreasonably, "I see you are very happy in your heart! Why are you pretending?"

The reason why she was so angry was that she just found out that the family she was going on a blind date with was Li Dali’s family from the neighboring village!

This Li Dali, she had an impression in her previous life. Li Dali's father had a serious illness in the past one or two years. In order to make his father happy, he quickly found a wife through a blind date. As a result, his father really got better not long after! This Li Dali learned carpentry from a master in the town. Somehow, the carpentry business became better and better, and the family became more and more prosperous. They even moved to the town to live. The whole family thought that this daughter-in-law was a lucky star and treated her very well. The girl's family members who married into the family said to everyone that their daughter was lucky and that she would enjoy a happy life after getting married.

After hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao's mother Zhang Cuihua sighed countless times in her ear, saying that it would be great if the girl married her. Unfortunately, Jiang Miaomiao was infatuated with the educated youth at that time, and her attitude of throwing herself at him was even more powerful than that of Jiang Suinsui before. The Jiang family girls had a bad reputation in the nearby villages.

Therefore, until Jiang Miaomiao secretly followed Shen Zhiwen to the city, no one had introduced Jiang Xiuxiu to a husband's family, let alone getting married.

Although Jiang Miaomiao felt that she was not good enough as a carpenter, she was upset because her younger sister got married before her when she had not made any progress and she married a good man.

Jiang Xiuxiu was a little timid in the face of her sister's cold face. Jiang Suishun felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so she pulled Jiang Xiuxiu out and said, "By the way, grandma said she had something to tell you. Let's go out and find her."

Jiang Xiuxiu followed her with gratitude on her face, and finally Jiang Miaomiao was left alone in the room sulking.

Jiang Miaomiao's face was gloomy. She pounded the bed hard, then took out her bag of antique plates from under the bed. She seemed to have made up her mind.

After waiting for Grandma Jiang to finish talking, Jiang Suishun could finally leave.

After coming out, she took a deep breath and said, "Getting married is really troublesome. Xiuxiu is still young, but she has to do housework and serve her parents-in-law. Oh my God, it's suffocating..."

Grandma Jiang: "What are you talking about? Isn't this a matter of course? She's not too young anymore, there are younger ones. And Xiuxiu is sensible, she has been busy at home since she was a child, unlike you, who was raised by me to be delicate and docile. I was afraid that your in-laws would be dissatisfied when you went to live with her, so I kept you for another year."

"Grandma..." Jiang Suishun said helplessly, "When a couple gets married, everyone is equal. Why should the woman be the one to serve others?"

"Isn't that the case? Do you still want the elders to serve you? Do you want your mother-in-law to serve you?"

Jiang Suisui couldn't help but say, "Song Weizheng is not like that. He said he would do the housework in the future, and Aunt Lan also said she doesn't need to be taken care of in the future. Of course I will also give, but the other party must also show such an attitude first."

"Grandma~" Jiang Suisui gently shook Grandma Jiang's arm and said coquettishly, "You have loved me for so many years, do you want me to serve others?"

Grandma Jiang looked at her and said with a smile, "Why are you bragging to grandma? Don't you just want to say that Song Weizheng's family loves you? Come on, you haven't even gotten married yet, but your heart has already flown to someone else's family."

Jiang Sui Sui: ...No, she just wanted to get a vaccination. She won't be a housewife who follows the three obediences and four virtues. She just used Song Wei Zheng as an example, not to show off!!!

Before she could say anything else, Grandma Jiang suddenly nudged her gently, then nodded, motioning her to look forward.

Jiang Suisui looked up in confusion and found Song Weizheng waiting at the gate of her house.

Grandma Jiang smiled cheerfully, and pushed her two steps forward, saying, "Look, he's here just now, just when we were talking about him. You youngsters, if you have something to say, I'll go back first. Come back as soon as you're done."

"I didn't..." Jiang Suinsun took a few steps forward awkwardly. Song Weizheng also noticed her at this time and walked towards her.

"Xiao Song, are you here to look for Sui Sui?" Grandma Jiang greeted.

Song Weizheng nodded to her and said, "Yes, grandma, I'm looking for...Sui Sui, I want to talk to you."

Grandma Jiang had an expression of relief that I understood, she smiled and nodded, then went in first.

Jiang Suinsui and Song Weizhen were the only ones left outside the door, standing there awkwardly.

"Good evening! You..."

"Sorry, I have something to think about..."

The two spoke at the same time and paused. After looking at each other for a second, Jiang Suisui couldn't help but smile, and then said generously: "I know you must have something to ask me, so tell me!"

Song Weizheng couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Sorry to bother you, let's talk while we walk."

"OK."

So, Jiang Suisui kicked the gravel at her feet while strolling and talking with Song Weizhen on a quiet path in the village.

"When I got home today, Xiaoxue told me what happened during the day. She said you told her to tell me."

Jiang Suensui nodded: "That's right."

Song Wei Zheng turned to look at her: "Can you tell me again in detail what happened during the day?"

Jiang Suisui then described in detail what she had seen during the day, and finally added: "I think I should tell you that Xiaoxue is still a child, and Aunt Lan is too gentle. I'm afraid they will be bullied. I don't know if you have met the man who led the exploration team, but I don't have a good impression of him anyway."

Song Weizheng nodded, his voice a little cold: "I saw him once on the first day of mining."

"This person's face is..." Jiang Suisui thought for a moment and explained, "I'm not superstitious. There's a saying that goes, 'Appearance is determined by the heart.' I think there's some truth to it. That person's face is a bit wretched!"

What Jiang Sui Sui actually wanted to say was that he was like the greasy uncle in modern times who might make dirty jokes at first sight.

Song Weizheng said coldly: "I understand."

"Anyway, you should ask Aunt Lan and Xiaoxue to be more careful. And you, don't go out so often recently, stay at home more often. A man at home can shock others." Jiang Suishun added a few more instructions.

Song Weizheng smiled softly and said, "Well, you are right, I will."

He suddenly stopped, turned to face Jiang Suisui, and said seriously, "Thank you."

Jiang Suensui looked at his sincere expression and felt a little embarrassed: "What is there to thank me for? I didn't do anything."

Song Weizheng: "Xiaoxue said that you stepped forward to help chase them away, and you may have offended the village chief for this."

Jiang Sui Sui twisted her braid with her fingers and said uncomfortably, "Xiao Xue really makes me sound so brave... Actually, I just happened to see it so I said a few words. They ran away because they felt guilty. As for the village chief, I didn't do anything illegal or disorderly. What can he do to me?"

Song Weizheng shook his head when he heard this: "Don't take it too lightly. The village chief can do a lot of things. If he wants to target you, you won't have anyone to complain to."

Jiang Sui Sui's eyes widened: "Ah... Then, what might he do? It won't affect grandpa and grandma, right?"

"That shouldn't happen." Song Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said, "They are all elders in the village. If they suddenly target them, it won't be justified in the village. As for you..."

He suddenly stopped and thought that Jiang Suishun didn't have to work and didn't fight for anything unnecessary, so there was nothing to target him.

However, he did not say it directly, only saying: "For the sake of your grandpa and grandma, he probably won't do anything."

Jiang Suinshun nodded when she heard this, and felt relieved.

The next moment, she suddenly felt a heat on her head, and a warm palm gently touched her head.

Jiang Suishun looked up in confusion, only to see Song Weizheng smiling and saying, "But for safety's sake, don't do this again. I'll take care of everything. Just let me handle this kind of thing."

In the hazy evening night, Song Weizheng's smile was so gentle that it seemed unreal.

"Oh... okay." Jiang Suinsui nodded dazedly in response.

·

For a period of time afterwards, Jiang Shuinshun would ask Song Yuxue from time to time whether the man had come to see them again that day. After learning that he had not come again, Jiang Shuinshun finally felt relieved.

However, what she didn't know was that Jiang Mingde was lying in the county hospital at the time, cursing at the exploration team members who came to visit him in the ward: "It's too cold to mine? Bullshit! I don't care about that. You guys speed up the progress. I want to transport all the minerals to the city by the beginning of next spring."

The leading member of the team was named Chen Zhenghua. He frowned and said seriously, "Director Jiang, the progress is very fast now. But firstly, we don't have enough supplies and haven't prepared anything for the winter. Secondly, the temperature is low in winter and the mountain may freeze, which makes mining more difficult. Thirdly, our instruments are prone to malfunction in low temperatures, which is not conducive to accurate exploration. Finally, we don't have enough manpower and need the help of the villagers, but the villagers also need to sleep in winter and celebrate the New Year. If we force them to work at this time, they may..."

After a pause, he continued, "I suggest that we either wait until next spring to continue, or we replenish sufficient supplies and manpower, as well as facilities to power and heat the equipment, and try our best to see if we can finish the mining in the spring of next year."

He explained patiently, but Jiang Mingde obviously had no patience to listen. He waved his hands and said disdainfully: "The current materials and manpower are approved by the superiors, and there is no more. I don't care what difficulties you have. These are the problems you have to solve. I am only responsible for seeing the results. Do you understand? I say that you exploration technicians are usually very noble and think you are so powerful. Why do you make excuses when you start working? If you don't want to do it, just say so. I will talk to the leader and ask him to replace people. You guys don't have to do it anymore in the future!"

Chen Zhenghua listened to Jiang Mingde's contemptuous and threatening words, silently clenched his fists, but could only endure and say: "Okay, we will try our best..."
