Chapter 10 The true face of this man

Although she was very curious about his background, Jiang Duo didn't say anything now, and he had his reasons, so she wouldn't ask too much.

She smiled and said readily, "Okay!"

When it was getting dark, the fish and cornmeal cakes were out of the pot.

Stir-frying would waste pork fat, so Mingzhu blanched the shredded potatoes, added vinegar, and mixed them with pickled vegetables and scallions, and it was another dish.

She had just put the two dishes on the table when she heard footsteps in the courtyard. Mingzhu raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Duo, "Maybe my aunt is back."

Jiang Duo followed Mingzhu out of the main room and came to the courtyard. At a glance, he saw Ming Chunni, who was about the same height as Mingzhu.

Although Ming Chunni was only in her thirties, she looked like she was in her forties. Her hair was dirty and messy, tied into two braids that didn't match her age.

She was wearing a navy blue suit full of patches, and her clothes were shiny. Her whole state looked... very abnormal.

When she saw Mingzhu, she smiled innocently on her dirty face, but soon, the smile froze the moment she saw Jiang Duo, and the next second Ming Chunni shrank her neck and lowered her head.

Mingzhu had the original owner's memory, so she naturally knew Ming Chunni's situation. She picked up a copper basin, filled it with water, and waved to Ming Chunni -

"Auntie, there are guests at home today, come over and wash your hands first."

Ming Chunni didn't dare to look at Jiang Duo, she shrunk her neck, lowered her chin, and carefully walked to the wall, moving to Mingzhu's side to wash her hands.

Seeing this, Jiang Duo raised his hand to take the towel from the rope and pass it over, but Ming Chunni instinctively covered her head and squatted down, begging for mercy loudly: "Don't hit me, I don't dare!"

Jiang Duo holding the towel: "..."

Mingzhu looked back at Jiang Duo who was frozen in place, his face full of embarrassment, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

She took the towel from his hand, pulled Ming Chunni up, and wiped her hands. "Auntie, have you seen this man? He is the militia captain who came to our village some time ago. His name is Jiang Duo."

Ming Chunni nodded without saying anything.

Mingzhu said again, "He is going to marry me."

This time Ming Chunni reacted. When she heard about marriage, she was terrified. She hurriedly grabbed Mingzhu's hand and shook her head nervously. "No marriage! Mingzhu, no marriage. If you marry, you will be beaten. You can't get married!"

She said it very quickly, and tears fell from her eyes.

Mingzhu knew that Ming Chunni was a famous beauty in the surrounding area, but she didn't know how to be a good person, so she married a poor peasant family in Lange Village, a dozen miles away.

The man and Ming Chunni were childhood playmates. At that time, my grandmother was still alive. They both thought that the man was a nice person. Ming Chunni also liked the man very much. My grandmother respected her children's marriage autonomy and let Ming Chunni decide to get married. But she didn't expect... You can't know a person's heart

by his appearance! Less than a month after the marriage, the man showed his true colors. He beat people when he was not satisfied. As long as Ming Chunni resisted, he would kill her!

And her nasty mother-in-law was an old witch who was rare in a thousand years. She instigated her son to beat his wife and let Ming Chunni do all the housework. They also favored boys over girls. After my aunt gave birth to two daughters, she got pregnant with a third child. The

old witch asked someone to secretly check and said that this baby was still a girl. She was furious and forced Ming Chunni, who was more than five months pregnant, to drink a dose of abortion medicine. Not only did it almost kill her, but the child she gave birth to was actually a boy.

It was clearly their fault, but the whole family took out all their anger on Ming Chunni, saying that she was a deadly omen, and then they injured her head and tortured her to death!

If it weren't for the fact that grandma went to deliver eggs to her daughter on a certain day and accidentally discovered her retarded daughter, and had a big fight with that family to get her back, Ming Chunni would have died long ago.

Mingzhu knew what Ming Chunni was afraid of, so she could only look at Jiang Duo with an embarrassed look, "My aunt...she met the wrong man and was hurt by her husband's family before, so she is more afraid of men, and she is even more afraid that I will live as miserably as her after getting married, and be beaten every day."

Hearing the last two words, Jiang Duo pursed his thin lips.

He knew that he looked cold and tall on weekdays, and that just standing here would make people scared, but he wouldn't become the image of a bad man, right?

Jiang Duo was silent for a few seconds, then bent down and said in a gentle tone: "Aunt, I never hit women, let alone my wife. If you don't believe me, I can give you a written receipt. If you can't do it, you can take the written receipt to sue me, okay?"

Ming Chunni listened to this, looked at Jiang Duo cautiously, and then quickly retracted her gaze. She held Mingzhu's hand, obviously still very nervous.

Mingzhu knew that people's impressions could not be changed all at once, so she said to Jiang Duo: "Take your time, let's eat first, the dishes are getting cold."

She pulled Ming Chunni into the house and let her sit next to her, while Jiang Duo sat across the table.

The kitchen is not small, but Jiang Duo is tall, and when he sits in front of the low table, the room looks very small, and the picture... is somewhat mismatched.

Mingzhu's eyes were more smiling. Jiang Duo noticed her gaze and wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Try my cooking skills." Mingzhu picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat in each of Ming Chunni and Jiang Duo's bowls. Then she put the chopsticks aside and picked up her own chopsticks to start eating.

Jiang Duo was a little surprised to notice this small detail. She seemed to be more meticulous than he thought.

He took a bite of the fish meat in the bowl, and his eyes became brighter.

Mingzhu couldn't wait to ask, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Jiang Duo's voice just fell, Ming Chunni beside him whispered, "When did you learn to cook, Zhuzhu? You didn't know how to cook before... The fish is delicious, and the cakes are even more delicious."

Listening to Ming Chunni's words, Jiang Duo glanced at Mingzhu with his eyes. She didn't know how to cook before?

But this taste cannot be achieved without several years of cooking skills.

Mingzhu noticed that Jiang Duo's eyes were scrutinizing her again, and she wished she could disappear.

Her aunt really knew how to set a trap for her!

She looked at Ming Chunni and said nonsense: "My grandma taught me how to cook since I was a child, but you, aunt, can't remember it clearly... Come on, aunt, if it tastes good, just eat more. If you want to eat this in the future, I will cook it for you every day."

Ming Chunni saw that Mingzhu not only did not give her a cold shoulder, but also took the initiative to pick up dishes for her. She wondered why Mingzhu was different from before?

But she liked Mingzhu like this, as if she was dreaming!

Ming Chunni grinned and smiled foolishly at Mingzhu, and continued to bury her head in eating, and the more she ate, the more delicious it became.

Jiang Duo gradually withdrew his gaze and took a bite of the bun...

After adding the ground bean juice to the cornmeal bun, it had a bean fragrance. This taste is probably not something that even the best state-owned hotels can make.

The atmosphere gradually improved, and Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It is so difficult to be a human being in someone else's body!

She was thinking about finishing her meal quickly and sending the person away, and then studying what the mechanical sound she heard this afternoon was. However, things did not go as she wished. Before she had finished her meal, there was a painful howl outside the door.

The sound came from far away, Mingzhu and Jiang Duo looked at each other, put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and stood up.

As soon as the two walked to the door, they saw Ming Laosi's family and the village chief rushing in -
