Chapter 176 Zou Lingling
Jiang Hao finished cleaning the kitchen and came out with a peeled grapefruit. "I saw two grapefruits in the kitchen, so I peeled one. I ate a lot of meat today, so I should eat some fruit to help me digest it and avoid stomach discomfort at night."
Old Master Jiang looked at the box Jiang Jianshe had brought on the ground and said, "Haohao, go to the kitchen and find a net bag and put some seafood in it. Take it back when you leave. I remember you used to love eating things from the sea."
Jiang Hao handed Shi Luo a pomelo segment and said, "Grandpa, you guys keep it for yourself. It's so easy to make. Just steam it and it's delicious. I won't take it back. I asked someone to buy me a box of it, but I haven't eaten it yet. It's freezing in the snow at home."
Mr. Jiang didn't force it. He knew Jiang Hao wasn't the type to let himself be wronged. "Alright, if you have it, I won't let you take it. You've been tired all day, so go back and rest early."
Liu Cuihua was indeed tired after being busy and chattering all day. "Okay, then we'll go. Mom and Dad, you should get some rest early too."
At night, Jiang Hao was half lying on the kang playing with Shi Luo's fingers when he heard a clanging sound outside accompanied by a woman's angry curse.
Shi Luo thought there was something interesting to watch, so he sat up from Jiang Hao's arms and ran out in his slippers.
Jiang Hao was chasing after her with a cotton-padded jacket and happened to meet Liu Cuihua who was also coming out with her cotton-padded jacket on. They looked at each other and walked out at the same time.
Jiang Hao looked at Shi Luo who was peeking out from the gate and quickly walked over to put on his cotton-padded jacket. "You have to wear clothes even if you want to watch the fun. What if you get frozen in this cold weather?"
Seeing that Shi Luo had put on his clothes, he also went over to watch the fun. "Hey, isn't this Xia Tingting from our office? That guy seems to be her ex-boyfriend, his name is Daqiang. Is the crying woman next to her the one we saw at the factory gate last time asking my sister-in-law for a job? What was her name?"
Shi Luo: "It seems to be Zou Lingling, oh my."
Liu Cuihua was also shocked. "My old swan, the girl's dress is all askew, almost exposing her breasts, and she's still crying there. Why doesn't she tidy up her clothes? You two should hide quickly, or you won't be blamed later."
Daqiang's face turned pale and he was filled with anger. "Xia Tingting, why are you yelling about nothing? It's my freedom to be with whomever I want. As long as the other person is willing, what right do you have to accuse me of being a hooligan?"
Xia Tingting: "Tsk, who said I care about you? I just saw someone being a hooligan in the corner on my way home. I even heard the woman say no, who knew it was you two? No, you two are not married, so I'm not wrong to call him a hooligan."
The aunt who was attracted by the sound came out to watch the fun: "Oh, that's right, the little girl of the Zou family hasn't gotten married yet, look, where are all the clothes? Isn't it just a hooligan?"
Zou Lingling choked up and held her clothes with both hands.
Liu Cuihua came over to the aunt who had just spoken and took out a handful of melon seeds from her cotton-padded jacket pocket and handed them to her, "Big sister, crack some melon seeds. Look at her, she can even speak three words in a roundabout way. Her voice is so delicate, I can't stand it. This girl is really amazing."
The aunt took the melon seeds and looked suspicious. "You look a little unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen you in our area before."
Liu Cuihua: "Of course I have seen him. I live here. I just came here today. My son works in the machinery factory. It's almost Chinese New Year. I came to see him and spend the New Year with him. I can't stay for a few days."
The aunt looked at the yard behind her and said, "This is Xiaoshi's house. I know Xiaoshi very well. He has lived here since he was a child. That Jiang Hao is your son, right? I live next door to him. My name is Chen Li, you can just call me Sister Chen."
Liu Cuihua's eyes lit up. It had been a while since she last saw such a lively scene. "Yes, yes, it's my son. Oh, look, they're going to start a fight. Oh, it turns out they're not going to fight. This little girl is quite nice. She even tidied up her clothes for her."
Xia Tingting grabbed Zou Lingling's collar and buttoned her clothes. "Brother Daqiang is a piece of shit. What are you asking him to do? Look at him, what a loser he is."
Zou Lingling knew that Xu Daqiang was unreliable, but there was nothing she could do. Her plan to get her own job failed, and her plan to get Xia Tingting to give her the job also failed.
If I don't get married now, I will have to go to the countryside. Among the gay men around here who like me, only Daqiang has a job, so he is already the tallest among the short ones.
"Tingting, you misunderstood. Brother Daqiang and I are dating. We just couldn't help ourselves. We agreed to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and we came out today to discuss this matter."
The reason why Xu Daqiang asked Zou Lingling out tonight was actually to talk about breaking up. It was not that he didn't like Zou Lingling anymore, but his mother really didn't agree with Zou Lingling marrying into the family. She also said that if she married Zou Lingling, she would have to separate from her after the marriage. Xu Daqiang could never accept the idea of separation.
So after hearing what Zou Lingling said, he quickly retorted, "Zou Lingling, don't talk nonsense."
Xia Tingting sneered and gently patted Zou Lingling's face. "Zou Lingling, this is the man you've been trying so hard to get. It's ridiculous. Although we are no longer friends, I still sincerely hope that you two can be together forever."
Zou Lingling didn't understand. "Tingting, I know you hope for the best for us, but don't say that about Daqiang. Daqiang is really good to me."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Xu Daqiang with tears in her eyes, "Brother Daqiang, what nonsense did I say? Aren't we going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow? If we don't get the certificate because we are not in a relationship, then today we are really being a hooligan. You better think it through."
Feng Yu had already thought of coming out when he heard the noise at the door, but it was really inconvenient to bring the child with him in such a cold weather.
She originally didn't want to get involved in her sister-in-law's affairs, but she was also afraid that the matter would get out of hand and affect her husband's future, so she hurried out after coaxing the child.
Fortunately, it is not too late to come out now, and it is a good time.
"Exactly. Why did you call my sister-in-law to your door at night when you don't have a boyfriend? Xu Daqiang, what did you want to do to my sister-in-law at my door just now? Did you know that my mother-in-law went to her sister's house today, so you called my sister-in-law out at my door at night? So you really acted like a hooligan to my sister-in-law just now."
Xu's parents were also called over by kind neighbors who were watching the commotion. However, since they lived a long way from the scene, they ran over in a hurry, so they spoke breathlessly. "What do you mean by hooligans? Well, they are hooligans. Young people are going too far in their relationship. It's inevitable that they are a little out of line. Do you have to be so harsh with your words?"
Xia Tingting said in a playful tone, "Oh, you've already done it and you're still afraid that we'll say something unpleasant. Just now, your Xu Daqiang refused to admit that they were dating and even said we were talking nonsense."
