"You all are the reincarnations of starving ghosts! I'm short of food or drink, but you're all so eager to be reincarnated."
No matter what Old Lady Zhong said, the women in the Zhong family pretended not to hear and ate the meat with relish. This meat was not often eaten on ordinary days. They could only eat a little on special occasions like Old Lady Zhong's birthday, and rarely at other times.
Zhong Zheng found it quite interesting to listen to the scolding of Old Lady Zhong while eating, so she gave half of the spoils to her mother, and then started to eat them with sweet potato porridge.
Seeing that her mother wanted to take it back, Zhong Zheng quickly hid to the other side with the bowl in her hand. Seeing Zhong Zheng dodging like this, Lin Manxiang knew that the meat could not be given away.
Aunt Zhong Er, who was sitting next to them, saw this scene and quickly said, "Fourth sister-in-law, if you don't want to eat, you can give it to me."
While asking questions, her chopsticks had already reached into Lin Manxiang's bowl. Lin Manxiang quickly stuffed the meat and sausage into her mouth. Although she felt guilty towards the Zhong family, she would not give up the meat that her own daughter picked up for her.
Aunt Zhong curled her lips and muttered softly, "I thought the people in this town were different! I didn't expect there's no difference at all. They all look the same when they're greedy for meat."
Lin Manxiang pretended not to hear. Let her say whatever she wants! It won't make her lose a piece of meat anyway.
The meal ended with Mrs. Zhong yelling and cursing.
It's funny to say that they gathered together in the name of celebrating Old Lady Zhong's birthday, but in the end Old Lady Zhong didn't even get to taste a piece of meat.
When it came to washing dishes, Zhong Zheng naturally pulled her mother aside and resolutely refused to let her mother come over to wash the dishes.
Because of Zhong Wenjin's previous outburst, the people in the Zhong family would no longer treat Lin Manxiang the same way as before. If they really angered this God of Wealth and ran away, they would have no place to cry.
After dinner, Zhong Wenjin came to Lin Manxiang. He had thought it through clearly and would never let his wife suffer any harm here, even if it meant talking back to his parents. His wife had suffered so much because of his incompetence, and it would never happen again.
Seeing that her mother was accompanied by her father, Zhong Zheng felt that she didn't need to stay by her side any longer. She felt uncomfortable and annoyed looking at these people in the Zhong family.
So Zhong Zheng said hello to her parents and went out. She had to stay here for the whole afternoon anyway. She really couldn't adapt to staying here. It would be more interesting to go out for a walk. She hadn't been to this place for many years.
Lin Manxiang and Zhong Wenjin did not stop them. After all, they were just walking around in the village. Their daughter was already so old, how could anything happen to her?
Zhong Zheng walked to the muddy road. Someone had sprinkled water on the road, and the whole road was covered with mud. There was no water when she came here.
Zhong Zheng looked at her dirty cloth shoes and felt relieved. Fortunately, she didn't wear her leather shoes. If she walked in the mud, the glue would probably fall off and the leather shoes would be scrapped.
After walking along this short muddy road, Zhong Zheng arrived at a dry road without any watering.
Standing on the road, Zhong Zheng looked around and didn't know where to go. She was alone and didn't know where to go.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Just after taking a few steps, Zhong Zheng heard voices coming from the haystack next to her.
Zhong Zheng was a little curious, so she walked behind the haystack to listen to what was happening. Because the haystack was stacked very high, Zhong Zheng was not worried at all about being discovered.
"Jiang Ci, when will you come to my house to propose marriage?" The person who spoke was a girl, and her voice sounded pleasant.
Soon, a clear male voice sounded: "When did I ever say I would go to your house to propose marriage? This is all your own idea."
"Jiang Ci, don't you feel how good I am to you?"
"I'm sorry, but no. If you think standing at someone's door and yelling at them is nice to them, then I suggest you find someone who treats you that well."
"Jiang Ci, no one can love you more than me, why don't you agree?"
Jiang Ci looked at the woman crying in front of him and felt very annoyed. He had obviously rejected this woman many times, but this woman seemed to not understand what he was saying and kept pestering him.
Because of his bad reputation in the village, almost everyone thought he had provoked her, but in all conscience, Jiang Ci had never bullied a female comrade in his life.
On the contrary, it was probably Su Xiaoxiao who was attracted by his face and that was why she was pestering him to date him.
Jiang Ci touched his face. It was really hard to help someone who was too good-looking! He had a lot of suitors, but in the end, nothing worked out because most girls were rejected by their parents as soon as they had the slightest thought of falling in love.
Jiang Ci has always had a bad reputation in the village. Words like gangster and second-rate guy are usually applied to Jiang Ci.
Because he had nothing to do all day and didn't go to work, and his parents had died a long time ago, his grandparents and relatives didn't want to take care of him, so they let him grow up on his own.
With such family situation, who would want to marry their daughter to him? Isn't that just pushing himself into the fire?
Only Su Xiaoxiao was attracted by Jiang Ci's face, and she would not marry him even if her family members tried to persuade her.
Jiang Ci really had no way to deal with such a persistent girl. He couldn't hit her, nor could he scold her. It was even more annoying than fighting her.
If he wanted this little girl to give up, he had to find a reason to scare her back, but the only reason that could make her give up was probably that he was dating someone.
Although Jiang Ci has never been in a relationship, he still has seen pigs run. His friends often talk about love with their partners.
"We really can't, I already have a partner."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all: "Impossible, you are lying, when did you start dating, you are not lying to me!"
Jiang Ci wasn't embarrassed by being exposed, and continued to make up his story calmly: "It's true, I'm dating someone in town. You see, I run to town all day just to see my partner."
Su Xiaoxiao was even more decisive this time: "Impossible! There's no way anyone in town would be interested in you."
Jiang Ci was a little speechless at this decisive attitude. Please! Is this how you treat your sweetheart?
"Whether you believe it or not, I really do have a partner. She's the only daughter in her family, and I'm going to be their son-in-law."
