Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Soft
Jiang Ling pushed his face away and rejected him harshly, "No need!"
He didn't seem to care about being rejected. He took two steps back as if nothing had happened. "Well, let's eat."
After what happened yesterday, Jiang Ling felt a little embarrassed when facing him again. The dinner table was unusually quiet. It was not like usual when Jiang Ling would tell him about the funny things that happened at work.
Accustomed to chatting with Jiang Ling during meals, he was not used to the quiet dinner table nowadays.
Song Guanshu took the initiative to ask, "Did anything interesting happen in the Finance Department today?"
Jiang Ling thought about it carefully and answered truthfully, "No."
It was not like this in the past. Even if nothing interesting happened in the office, she would tell him what she had done instead of coldly answering "no".
Song Guanshu smiled reluctantly and asked, "I am a very boring person, right? You think chatting with me is boring and uninteresting."
"No." Jiang Ling was puzzled and didn't understand why the question jumped from the Finance Department to him.
Nothing interesting happened in the Finance Department during the day, so why would he feel bored? There seems to be no direct connection between the two.
He kept the house spotless, without even a speck of dust.
If there were no daily necessities in the room, a stranger would think that the house was uninhabited.
It was so clean, as if a criminal had come and cleaned it.
She saw half a candied haws stick in the cup. The rock sugar had melted, leaving only a few stale hawthorns. They looked sour. Jiang Ling frowned for a long time but couldn't eat them.
Song Guanshu was very considerate and said, "If you don't like it, just throw it away."
Jiang Ling was a little confused, "It would be a waste to throw it away."
"It's a waste if you eat something you don't like," he said. "You're not wasting."
He held out his hand to help with the remaining hawthorns.
Jiang Ling thought he would help throw it away, which was a good thing. Since she wasn't throwing it away herself, Jiang Ling wouldn't feel such a strong sense of guilt.
However, he did not throw away the remaining half of the candied haws, but bit off a hawthorn.
"No......." That was what she had eaten.
It was too late for Jiang Ling to stop him, the hawthorn had already been swallowed by him.
There was no point in her reminding him again.
Song Guanshu seemed to not understand why she suddenly called her, and looked at her blankly. Jiang Ling waved her hand, "It's okay, you continue eating."
In the end, no food is wasted.
Seeing him finish the last few hawthorns, Jiang Ling swallowed the sour water in her mouth and said, "If you like it, don't just buy one next time. Buy two, one for each of us."
"You'd better buy one. If you can't finish a whole one, the rest will be wasted."
Let him do whatever he wants. Whether he buys one or two, she can eat them, and that’s enough.
During the day, Song Guanshu took off the quilt covers of the two people and replaced them with clean ones. He washed the dirty quilt covers and hung them in the yard to dry.
Having a separate yard is very convenient for doing anything, and suddenly taking off and washing the quilt cover will not attract too much attention.
Both of them deliberately did not think about what happened the night before, as if it was just a ridiculous dream.
Even Xu Youlan and Jiang Ling were not mentioned again.
According to her personality, if she met someone who did this kind of thing, she would definitely scold her every day to vent her anger.
When you wake up from the dream, it's over.
But is it really like that?
Lying in bed, even though she had changed the quilt cover, Jiang Ling still felt a smell.
She didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or real.
Sometimes when she saw Song Guanshu changing clothes with his upper body naked, she would always think of certain taboo scenes and fragments.
The winter was dry, and she slept on a warm kang, which made her more susceptible to getting irritated.
In addition, it seemed that she had seen it, so Song Guanshu no longer avoided her, and Jiang Ling always accidentally saw some scenes that she shouldn't have seen.
You can only watch, you can't do anything.
Jiang Ling was so proud to be famous.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw Song Guanshu with his upper body naked, looking for clothes in the closet. His inverted triangle figure made his back muscles more obvious when he bent over.
Two streams of blood spurted out of her nose, and Jiang Ling quickly found some paper to stop them.
Song Guanshu couldn't find his clothes. He heard some noise behind him. He turned around and saw Jiang Ling frantically looking for paper. Her hands and clothes were covered in blood, and blood was dripping from her nose.
The wet towel was placed on the back of Jiang Ling's neck, and she shivered from the cold.
The blood in the nose was not flowing as fast as before. Secretary Song Guan remembered that it was said in the book that raising your hand is also useful. He straightened the towel on the back of Jiang Ling's neck and helped her raise her hand which was hanging naturally at her side.
I don’t know if this method is useful to others, but it probably won’t work for Jiang Ling.
No one deals with a companion who is not wearing a shirt when he or she has a nosebleed. It is so big that if it were any closer, it would have hit her face.
The nosebleed that had just been slightly controlled was out of control again.
Jiang Ling is a good comrade with a strong will. How could he be easily shaken by the beauty in front of him?
She firmly stretched out her hand to say no to the temptation and pushed away the scenery in front of her.
Well, it’s soft indeed.
Song Guanshu simply had no other thoughts. He just wanted Jiang Ling to stop her nosebleed quickly. He was pushed away unexpectedly and he was still a little confused.
"I……"
Jiang Ling waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need his help, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
The nosebleed gradually stopped, and Song Guanshu found a rag to wipe the blood on the floor and the kang.
"Why is your nose bleeding?"
Jiang Ling was determined not to admit that she had peeked at him just now, "The kang was too hot at night."
Song Guanshu's eyes were full of heartache. She had lost a lot of blood. "I'll buy you a chicken later to replenish your blood."
Don’t take more supplements. If you take more, you will bleed more.
She said, "I think I just need to eat cabbage and tofu for two days." Eat some vegetarian food and calm down.
The dish Jiang Ling hated most was cabbage and tofu. While other neighbors stored a lot of cabbage before winter, Song Guanshu only symbolically bought a few and placed them in the west room.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Jiang Ling doesn't like to talk to him about her feelings, so Song Guanshu can only guess.
"It's okay. Don't worry about spending money. The factory is doing well. There will be a dividend before the New Year, and there will be more and more every month."
How should Jiang Ling explain to him that this has nothing to do with money.
"It's just that I suddenly want to eat cabbage and tofu, really."
Jiang Ling looked at him sincerely.
This was even more strange. Jiang Ling actually wanted to eat cabbage and tofu. However, since she didn't want to say it, Song Guanshu didn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, let's cook some cabbage tomorrow."
Jiang Ling's clothes were also stained with blood.
Song Guanshu frowned and said, "Take off your clothes."
Jiang Ling covered her clothes and looked at him in horror.
He sighed helplessly, "What do you think I'm going to do? I'm asking you to take off your bloodstained clothes. You can't go to work wearing these clothes. I'll wash them later."
"I know." She said firmly, "I want to wash it myself."
Song Guanshu still didn't know she was being stubborn, so he explained, "The water is cold, my hands are freezing."
"Then I'll boil a pot of hot water and add it in." As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
"If you add hot water, the blood on your clothes will not be washed away easily."
Is there? She used to be very experienced, so how come she had no impression of what he said?
"There's no need to lie to you about this."
Yes, there was no need for Song Guanshu to lie to her. It was not possible that this man loved doing housework to the extent of competing with her for the work.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Jiang Ling gestured for him to turn around.
Song Guanshu followed her instructions and turned around obediently.
Jiang Ling is different from Song Guanshu. Every night she would find the clothes she would wear the next day and put them on the kang to dry. This way, she could put on the clothes the next day when she opened her eyes without having to look for them.
The clothes were placed on the kang all night and were still warm when I wore them.
Song Guanshu would go to the closet to look for clothes every morning. Jiang Ling admired him for not being afraid of the cold, as the room was not warm in the morning.
He didn't seem to be like this before. He had very good living habits. Just like Jiang Ling, he would find out what clothes he would wear the next day the night before.
Jiang Ling was lazy, but she didn’t know why Song Guanshu was lazy.
The clothes just taken out of the closet were not as warm as those that had been dried on the kang all night, and Jiang Ling kept complaining about the cold when she put them on.
Because Jiang Ling deliberately forgot everything that happened that night, including the "culprit" Xu Youlan.
She didn't expect that instead of her and Song Guanshu going to settle the score with Xu Youlan, this person came to them on his own initiative.
Xu Youlan was still thinking about what Jiang Ling had said, that she would help find out about her husband.
After a while, half a month has passed and you should have found out.
So Xu Youlan took the initiative to come to the door.
She came to the office to find Jiang Ling. Xu Youlan was afraid that if she went to their house alone and got killed, no one would know, so it would be safer in the office with more people around.
When Jiang Ling saw this man, she remembered what she had done and became furious.
It had not been long since she last came to the office to look for someone, so her colleagues in the Finance Department certainly had not forgotten her and thought she was here to borrow money again.
What I hate most is people who don’t understand what others say and keep coming to borrow money even after others have already refused them.
"You still have the nerve to come here!"
She wondered if Jiang Ling knew that she wanted to hook up with Song Guanshu.
Song Guanshu is such a fool. Why does he tell his wife about such things?
"I..." Xu Youlan opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
She couldn't say the words of apology.
She thought she had not caused any harm to them, she just had that thought and it did not work, was that wrong?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt justified. “I didn’t do anything.”
She dared to do it but not to admit it, and she did it in front of her colleagues. Jiang Ling couldn't confront her.
"I have never met anyone as thick-skinned as you."
She came here to inquire about something. After she came in, Jiang Ling scolded her. No matter how good-tempered she was, she got angry.
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Why are you cursing?" Xu Youlan snorted, "You were the one who wanted to help me."
"You didn't tell me the truth, and you still want me to work for you. What are you dreaming of?"
"I haven't told you the truth yet."
Jiang Ling suppressed her temper and said, "When was your husband arrested? Why don't you go and find out if the police are still arresting speculators recently? Even if you make it up, you have to make up a decent reason!"
There was indeed a period of time in the middle of last year when this was done, but this year the policy is different.
From what Xu Youlan said, her husband was arrested in the last two months. How is that possible?
At the meeting at the end of last year, the individual economy was also mentioned.
During this period, Song Guanshu read the newspaper and paid attention to the policies in this area, and Jiang Ling also learned a lot about it.
"How is that possible?" Xu Youlan obviously didn't believe Jiang Ling. "My parents-in-law said so. She couldn't possibly lie to me."
The colleagues were confused, but there was an older sister who didn't get along well with her in-laws. She said, "Silly girl, what your in-laws say may not be true."
She kept on talking about how hateful her mother-in-law was. Not only was she biased, but she also helped her man to deceive her. She was really an old woman who did all kinds of bad things.
Xu Youlan's mother-in-law had been very nice to her in the past, so she had never doubted anything and naturally believed whatever her mother-in-law said.
Her mother-in-law said that money makes things easier, and as long as she had money, she could use her connections to help her husband, whether it was to get him sentenced to two years less or to make his life in prison more comfortable.
Because of her mother-in-law's words, she borrowed money from all her relatives and friends, including her own family.
Her family wanted her to divorce, but she refused without hesitation. Just as her mother-in-law said, how could she leave her husband at this critical moment.
Xu Youlan did have doubts. When her husband went to prison, the first person she thought of was Xie Lang, who could help her find out.
When she expressed her idea, her parents-in-law scolded her and told her to borrow money and not to worry about anything else. Trying to use your connections everywhere can easily backfire.
Even though Jiang Ling offered to help find out the news, she didn't dare tell her parents-in-law, for fear of upsetting them.
As expected, they were hiding something from her, and Xu Youlan left the office in despair.
Jiang Ling didn't care where she went. She probably went back to confront her in-laws.
After she got home, she couldn't wait to tell Song Guanshu, "Xu Youlan came to the factory to see me today."
Song Guanshu continued cutting vegetables, "Because of her husband?"
Jiang Ling didn't want to talk about Xu Youlan's husband. She was angry about something else. "This person is so shameless that he actually denied drugging you."
Song Guanshu poured her a glass of water and told her to calm down. "It's normal not to admit it. It's not worth getting yourself hurt because of this kind of person."
Jiang Ling looked at Song Guanshu, who was unusually calm, for a few more seconds and asked, "Why aren't you angry?" It was obvious that he was the victim.
