The last month of winter should be a time when the village is bustling with people preparing for the New Year and visiting relatives and friends. Dayan Village has indeed been bustling recently, but it is different from the usual bustle.

The incident of Jiang Mingde had not yet completely passed, and Jiang Miaomiao was suddenly taken away by people from the city who came to investigate. This time, the village was in complete chaos.

Some gossipers couldn't help but gossip in front of Zhang Cuihua.

"Cuihua, what happened to your Miaomiao?"

"Is it related to Director Jiang from that city? I heard that she was arrested in Director Jiang's house."

"Oh my! That's really outrageous. How could Miaomiao, a virgin girl, run into a man's room?"

"Cuihua, can your Miaomiao get out? Was she taken to the city and locked up with that man?"

Zhang Cuihua's face turned green after hearing this. She drove everyone away with an ugly look on her face and locked the gate of the courtyard to avoid seeing anyone.

Jiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but complain: "Mom, my elder sister is so embarrassing. I don't even dare to go out. People laugh at me!"

What could Zhang Cuihua say? Until now, she herself still didn't understand what Jiang Miaomiao had done wrong. She only heard the leader who led the case that day say that she sold antiques privately. Zhang Cuihua felt that this was really a big injustice. Not to mention Jiang Miaomiao, even in their entire Dayan Village, no one had ever seen any antiques!

Who would have thought that later, under Jiang Miaomiao's guidance, the leaders dug out a bag of broken plates from under her bed and said that they were antiques.

Zhang Cuihua almost fainted on the spot. Aren't these just the junk that Jiang Miaomiao brought back a few months ago? She asked Jiang Miaomiao to throw them away, and now she told her that these were antiques?

Zhang Cuihua was filled with mixed feelings, not knowing what it felt like. The only thing she was thankful for was that she had married Jiang Xiuxiu off quickly some time ago, otherwise, after the incident with Jiang Miaomiao, Xiuxiu would not have been able to find a husband.

But no matter how embarrassing it was, she couldn't do anything about it. Jiang Miaomiao was her daughter after all, and she couldn't just ignore her.

Zhang Cuihua tossed and turned in bed at night and couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't help but push Jiang Hongjun and said, "Go to the town tomorrow and ask where Miaomiao is now. How is she? Can she come back?"

Jiang Hongjun's face was full of impatience: "Why are you going there? It's such a disgrace! I'll just pretend that this girl doesn't exist!" After saying that, he turned over, lifted the quilt to cover his face, and went to sleep.

Zhang Cuihua was furious, but what could she do? She had to bear the anger of the man she chose and the daughter she gave birth to.

Early the next morning, Zhang Cuihua went to the town to inquire, but couldn't even find the door.

We could only learn from the gossip of the town residents that Jiang Mingde had been taken back to the city and those leaders had also left.

Zhang Cuihua inquired for several days but found no news about Jiang Miaomiao. She was so anxious that she wanted to ask the village chief to write a letter of introduction to go to the city to look for her, but Jiang Hongjun stopped her.

Grandma Jiang also became anxious and angry and couldn't eat. Jiang Suishun looked a little worried.

She remembered that the book mentioned that Jiang Miaomiao took advantage of her past life's memories to find antiques, kept them for herself and planned to sell them when the time was right. However, since there was no sequel to the story, Jiang Suinsui did not expect this to be the outcome.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the Jiang family has no festive atmosphere at all, and they are all worried about Jiang Miaomiao.

During this time, Jiang Suinsui spent her time comforting Grandma Jiang and visiting Song Weizhen's home and playing with Song Yuxue.

Perhaps because of the shock she had experienced, Song Yuxue became extra clingy. Every time she passed by, he would run to her side and hug her tightly, refusing to let go.

Jiang Suishun picked up Song Yuxue and felt that his arm strength had improved during this period.

Song Weizheng frowned when he saw it and said, "Come down, Xiaoxue, you are almost nine years old, and you still need someone to hold you."

Song Yuxue pursed her lips, twisted her body, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Suishun, put me down, I'm too heavy."

Jiang Suishun held her and sat down, comforting her: "It's not heavy, not heavy. Our Xiaoxue is still a child and should be held by an adult."

After saying that, she glared at Song Weizheng again: "Don't listen to your brother, I am happy to hug you, our Xiaoxue is so obedient and cute."

Song Weizheng smiled helplessly: "Just get used to her."

Song Rulan looked at the children with satisfaction, a satisfied smile on her face.

New Year's Eve is approaching, and no matter how much sadness one has, it will be diluted a lot in the atmosphere of New Year's Eve.

Although the Jiang family has separated, they will get together for dinner on this day. Grandma Jiang, Liu Juan and Zhang Cuihua have been busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner since early in the morning. Jiang Suinsui helps wash the vegetables and lends a hand, but is soon coaxed out by Grandma Jiang on the pretext that the children are out playing.

Jiang Suinsui walked out of the yard and saw a group of children gathered together playing with firecrackers not far away. She couldn't help but smile and stood there watching for a while.

At this moment, no one knew what had happened. The children suddenly dispersed and ran towards her, shouting as they ran: "Jiang Miaomiao is back, Jiang Miaomiao is back!"

Hearing this, Jiang Suisui quickly stood up and looked forward. Grandma Jiang and others in the house also heard the child's cry and hurried out.

Zhang Cuihua was the first to rush out and shouted, "Miaomiao? Where's Miaomiao? Is she back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Suisui saw Jiang Miaomiao. She was brought back by a police officer in uniform. She looked haggard and withered.

Zhang Cuihua rushed forward, grabbed her clothes and started to scold and beat her: "You stupid girl! How dare you come back! You still have the nerve to come back! I will beat you to death!"

Jiang Miaomiao seemed to be stunned by the blow and didn't know how to hide. Instead, the police officer next to her reached out and stopped her, saying sternly, "Auntie, calm down."

Grandma Jiang and a few others also stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Comrade Public Security, is Miaomiao okay? Can she go home?"

The public security officer nodded and said, "Jiang Miaomiao was previously reported for privately selling antiques, but now the matter has been investigated. The antiques were just ordinary plates. It's no big deal. Jiang Miaomiao has also been criticized and educated, and can go home now."

Zhang Cuihua hurriedly said, "Thank you, Public Security Comrade, thank you, Public Security Comrade! Public Security Comrade, please come in and sit down and have a drink of water!"

"No." The public security comrade raised his hand to refuse, saying, "I have already sent the person back. I am leaving first. Comrade Jiang Miaomiao, remember not to be greedy for money and forget your loyalty in the future. This time you are lucky. If you are really charged with the crime of privately buying and selling national antiques, you may have to stay in jail for the rest of your life."

The public security comrade gave Jiang Miaomiao a few more instructions, then nodded slightly and turned away.

As soon as the person left, Zhang Cuihua started to attack again, pinching her ears and cursing: "Jiang Miaomiao! Tell me, what on earth have you done? Didn't I tell you to throw away those broken plates? You actually treated them as antiques and wanted to sell them to others. Do you want to piss me off to death? You have made me lose face!"

Grandma Jiang couldn't bear to watch, so she quickly stopped and held Jiang Miaomiao in her arms, saying, "Alright, Miaomiao has been locked up for so long and has suffered a lot. Even if she made a mistake, she has been taught a lesson. Let's go back to my room, take a shower, change clothes, and get rid of the bad luck."

"Sui Sui, take out your clothes and give them to your sister to change into later." Grandma Jiang said to Jiang Sui Sui.

"Okay." Jiang Suinsui responded quickly and ran back to her room to pick up some clothes.

When she came out, Zhang Cuihua was still wailing: "Why am I so miserable! I raised such an ungrateful person. Who has been unable to eat or sleep these days and worrying about her every day? She doesn't even have a good face when she comes back! How can a girl do such a shameful thing and bring shame to our family? No husband will want her in the future!"

There were also many aunts and uncles who came over after hearing the news. They all gathered around her to comfort her and talk to her in various ways.

Seeing Jiang Sui Sui, he couldn't help but say, "Sui Sui, it's a good thing you already decided on your husband's family, otherwise after your sister's incident, matchmakers wouldn't dare to come to your house."

Jiang Suinsui felt helpless after hearing this and could only quickly bypass the crowd, come to the room where Jiang Miaomiao was taking a bath, and give the clothes to her.

Jiang Miaomiao seemed to have calmed down a lot after experiencing the "prison disaster". She no longer confronted her when she saw her. She just calmly took the clothes, looked up at her, and said nothing.

Jiang Suinsui felt the atmosphere was a bit suffocating, so she didn't say much and just left after delivering the clothes.

The New Year's Eve dinner was lively, with everyone gathered together, complete and complete, and Zhang Cuihua's complaints and other people's comforting voices were interspersed from time to time. It was also lonely, as Jiang Miaomiao had been silent since she came back, not saying a word. Seeing her like this, others were afraid that she was frightened and had lost her soul, and they did not dare to talk to her to provoke her.

Jiang Suinsui finished a tasteless New Year's Eve dinner with great difficulty, and then slipped away under the pretext of visiting Song Weizheng's home.

After coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little emotional. She recalled the original novel, where the heroine used her memory from her past life to find antiques and hid them away, waiting for a chance to make a fortune in the future.

But what surprised Jiang Suisui was that Jiang Miaomiao actually wanted to sell the antique to Jiang Mingde, and Jiang Mingde reported her in order to redeem himself from his crime. What she never expected was that the antique she found was actually fake! It was because of this that she escaped the disaster of imprisonment.

Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help shaking her head. She didn't know whether this was luck or misfortune for the heroine...

At this moment Jiang Miaomiao felt that she was very unlucky. She hid in the room and listened to the gossip of the aunts and uncles outside. She didn't know who to hate.

I hate the person who exposed Jiang Mingde, I hate Jiang Mingde who then demolished the old one, I hate the person in my past life who got the antiques and became rich, and I hate myself even more for being so stupid as to mistake a bunch of junk for antiques!

She suffered a lot during the days of detention and investigation, and was almost frightened to death, thinking that she would spend the rest of her life in prison.

Who knew that the antique turned out to be fake, so she was criticized and taught a lesson and then it was returned.

Jiang Miaomiao was not very happy when she returned home. She was just confused. It seemed like she had lived her life again in vain.

No man, no money.

How should I live my life from now on...
