Gu Xiangbei stretched out his hand to push the banknote that Jiang Hongjun took out and said, "Uncle Jiang, my last name is Gu, Gu Xiangbei."
"You can call me Xiao Gu. I'm a member of Jiang's educated youth team going to the countryside."
"My home..."
"Since you two know each other, this matter will be much easier to handle." Jiang Hongjun said, "Take this money, and pretend that everything that happened in the restaurant today never happened."
"Dad, what do you mean by that!"
"Can words once spoken be forgotten just like spilled water?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao said: "Also, can you please listen to what I'm saying?"
"You interrupted him before he could even finish his words. You have no respect for him at all."
Jiang Hongjun sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen, but what do you want me to listen to?"
"Xiao Qiao, I haven't forgotten what he said in the restaurant. He has three children!"
"Why, you're leaving this handsome young man in the family compound and want to marry him and become his stepmother?!"
"Ah?! Xiao Qiao, you are my daughter. Why are you so stubborn that you don't stay in the city but keep going to the countryside?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao glared at Jiang Hongjun. Gu Xiangbei took a step forward and stood sideways in front of Jiang Xiaoqiao.
"Uncle Jiang, as an outsider, I shouldn't interrupt your father-daughter conversation."
"But just now, that was clearly not a normal conversation between father and daughter. It was you, using your status as a father, unilaterally putting pressure on Jiang Zhiqing."
"I also heard your conversation in the restaurant just now."
"To be fair, Uncle Jiang, do you really owe Jiang Zhiqing nothing? Exactly. You owe Jiang Zhiqing too much. Even now, you haven't truly reflected on your actions. You've only continued to hurt her in other ways, doing her own good."
"I..." Jiang Hongjun said, "What do you young people know? This is the painstaking effort of a parent. I'm doing this for Xiao Qiao's own good!"
"Yes, it's your hard work."
"You worked so hard to bring Xu Ai Lijiang Daqiao home less than two years after my mother passed away."
"You painstakingly left my mother's job at the factory to Xu Aili. If someone takes that position, it's mine, mine!"
"You're so hardworking that you can't see that I'm hungry and cold at home. If it weren't for grandma and the others, and if it weren't for my cleverness, I would have starved to death and frozen to death long ago."
"You thought everything was fine in this family, but you didn't realize that three women can be a real drama!"
"You painstakingly knew that Jiang Daqiao had signed me up for a place in the countryside, but you didn't even bother to stop me, and you didn't even think of a solution, and you just sent me to the countryside."
"You spent the entire night thinking over it, and the way you came up with to make amends was to marry me off!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but laughed ridiculously at the end.
Gu Xiangbei, who was standing beside her, looked at her with eyes full of heartache.
"Jiang Hongjun, I don't care about your hard work, I don't care!"
"I'm telling you, if you want to make it up to me, then divide up the family property and give me my share in advance."
"Let's break up cleanly. From now on, I will never go back to this disgusting place."
"I didn't really want to come back, but when I thought about how if I didn't come back, you would be coaxed by Xu Aili, Jiang Daqiao and the others, and give them everything in this family, I couldn't bear it."
"Why? I'm also a member of this family. I want to get everything that belongs to me."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaoqiao went to lock her door angrily.
After locking it, Jiang Xiaoqiao said to Jiang Hongjun, "Think about it carefully. Think carefully about what I said today."
"I'll make the decision about marriage myself. As for the rest, you should think carefully about it and make it clear to me."
Jiang Xiaoqiao decisively took Gu Xiangbei's hand and walked out. After they were out of the Jiang family's gate, she let go of his hand and walked quickly in front.
Jiang Xiaoqiao walked in front and Gu Xiangbei followed behind.
Along the way, Gu Xiangbei was very anxious.
He knew that Jiang Xiaoqiao must be very sad at the moment, but Gu Xiangbei didn't know how to comfort her.
In the family compound, not long after Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei left, Xu Aili and Jiang Daqiao hurried back home.
"Dad, I heard Jiang Xiaoqiao brought a wild man back!"
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Daqiao's voice could not help but show some excitement.
Jiang Daqiao glanced around the house and didn't see any trace of Jiang Xiaoqiao and that wild man.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Hongjun shouted loudly, which scared Xu Aili and Jiang Daqiao.
Jiang Daqiao said aggrievedly: "Dad, why are you talking to me so loudly?"
"What are you doing? Seeing your sister having a hard time and hearing bad news about her, are you so happy and excited?"
…
Regardless of the farce at the Jiang family, on the bus, Gu Xiangbei finally heard the first words Jiang Xiaoqiao said to him after leaving the Jiang family.
"Carry this, it's heavy."
"Okay, I'll bring it up."
Yes, no matter how angry Jiang Xiaoqiao was, she took away all the food she had packed at the state-owned restaurant, as well as the two bottles of Beibingyang soda, before leaving.
No matter how angry she is, she will never go against food.
When the bus reached Zaohua Lane, Jiang Xiaoqiao got off the bus and continued to struggle to move forward.
After opening the courtyard door, Jiang Xiaoqiao moved a table out of the kitchen and planned to fetch well water to wash the table.
"I'll do it." Gu Xiangbei said.
Gu Xiangbei washed the table and fetched water, so Jiang Xiaoqiao found two more chairs.
After washing with water, put it in the sun and wipe it once or twice with a dry cloth, and it will dry quickly.
Then he placed the table and chairs under the eaves. Jiang Xiaoqiao opened the packed lunch box and took out two sets of dishes and chopsticks that had been washed in the kitchen.
"Let's eat."
Jiang Xiaoqiao greeted Gu Xiangbei, picked up a meat bun, and tears fell the moment she bit into the bun.
"Jiang Zhiqing..."
"You, don't cry, I..." Gu Xiangbei rummaged through his body but couldn't find any handkerchief or toilet paper. He looked at his hands and could only use the weakest words to comfort her.
"Jiang Zhiqing, don't cry. Parents are different all over the world."
"Your father is a bad person, but besides your father, there are still many people in this world who treat you well and are sincere to you."
Jiang Xiaoqiao put the bitten bun in the bowl and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"Call my name."
"Jiang, Xiao Qiao."
Jiang Xiaoqiao reached out to wipe her tears again, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.
She didn't want to cry, but tears suddenly started to flow.
"The buns are cold, the food must be cold too..."
Gu Xiangbei said hurriedly: "I'll just heat up the food, it will be quick."
After saying this, Gu Xiangbei immediately stood up, covered the lunch box, and carried it into the kitchen.
Gu Xiangbei quickly cleaned the kitchen stove, while Jiang Xiaoqiao calmed herself down under the eaves.
