Chapter 551 She did something shameful
Mingzhu patted Fang Shuyu's arm: "Hey, Ms. Fang, why are you so impatient? Don't worry, just wait and see."
"You mean... nothing serious will happen?"
"I mean, it's just the beginning, what's the point of worrying her? Now that the matter has been exposed, let it ferment. She chose the path herself, so she has to bear the consequences herself." Fang Shuyu was
a little worried: "Then we will do nothing?"
"Not for the time being."
At noon, Jiang Duo came back on time and brought Mingzhu a lot of seeds.
He also bought some fruit tree seedlings, and when he had time to go and pull them back in the next few days, he would let Mingzhu take them to the space.
After lunch, the three children went to take a nap.
Mingzhu dragged Jiang Duo to the space to open up wasteland and plant crops.
Jiang Duo had been to the countryside to perform tasks before, so he was good at farm work. Under Mingzhu's arrangement, he first turned over half of the land, and planned the ridges neatly.
This job was really beautiful.
Mingzhu used one-third of the planned area to plant various vegetables, and the remaining two-thirds to plant peanuts.
From beginning to end, Mingzhu was arranged by Jiang Duo to sit on the edge of the vegetable patch, holding an umbrella and chatting with him.
Even when Mingzhu wanted to help water the plants, he wouldn't let her.
This scene inexplicably reminded Mingzhu of the time when the two had just met, and the village chief arranged for her to do the work on the dam that only men could do.
Jiang Duo didn't object, and took her to the dam directly, and let her sit like now. He did the work of two people alone, and he was sweating profusely, but he didn't let her move at all.
"Jiang Duo, you are actually quite different, you know?"
Jiang Duo looked up at her while pressing peanuts into the soil: "How come?"
"Many men in this era are quite extreme. For some, beating their wives is commonplace, while for others, being afraid of their wives is also a given. But you love, respect and pamper your wife. I'm so lucky to have picked up such a great man."
Jiang Duo pursed his lips: "Only men who are incompetent but have unbridled ambitions will beat their wives out of anger. Only weak and indecisive men will be afraid of their wives. But we are different. We have been in an equal relationship as husband and wife from the beginning, and later on, we became lovers who truly love each other and are true soul mates. So it's not my fault, but the fact that we both complement each other, which is why we are so suitable and have such a tacit understanding."
Mingzhu listened to this and felt that she was coaxed by the sweet words that belonged to Captain Jiang again.
After finishing half an acre of land, Mingzhu took Jiang Duo back to the villa to take a shower. His clothes were soaked with sweat.
Mingzhu went to her eldest brother's room, found a new sportswear with the tag still on, and returned to the room.
The water in the bathroom was still running, and Mingzhu pushed the door open and said, "Honey, I found you some of my eldest brother's clothes. They are new. You can wear them after you finish washing in the room."
Jiang Duo looked back at her and nodded, "Okay, I'm fine with it."
Seeing Jiang Duo standing under the shower with his back to her, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a very well-proportioned body, Mingzhu smiled mischievously, blew a hooligan whistle, teased him lightly, and planned to go out first.
But just when she had half a leg out of the bathroom door, Jiang Duo quickly pulled her back from behind, wrapped her in his arms, and breathed on her neck: "You run away after provoking someone?"
Mingzhu's clothes were instantly wet by the water droplets on his body, but she was not angry. She looked up at him with a wicked smile: "I provoked you, what can you do to me?"
"I can... make sure you don't provoke me in vain." He said, picked up Mingzhu, put her on the sink, pressed her against him, and kissed her.
With the experience in the bathtub last night, he was more comfortable at the sink today.
In the end, Mingzhu had to take a bath with sweat dripping down her face before going out with him.
The two of them looked at each other while lying on the bed, and they both laughed unconsciously.
Jiang Duo held her in his arms: "Do you want to take a break or go out?"
"Take a break," Jiang Duo had just worked on the farm for five or six hours, and had been working up and down in his own place for more than half an hour. No matter how strong he was, he had to recover.
The two of them took a nap and left the space in the afternoon.
While Fang Shuyu was playing with the baby, the two of them went to bring spiritual spring water to Grandpa and Tian Hongxiu for decoction.
Just as Fang Shuyu said, the whole compound was particularly lively today. The old Jiang family was pushed to the center of discussion because of a Jiang Shan.
She thought of something and nudged Jiang Duo with her elbow: "Have you noticed that your family is really lively? Something as trivial as someone in the family falling in love can also cause a bloody storm in this compound."
"There are not many families like ours, where more than half of the family members are in the army and hold important positions."
Mingzhu naturally understood the implication: "A tall tree attracts the wind, right? People often envy those who live better than themselves. It would be fine if we were a little low-key, but the positions of the Jiang family are all there, and they can't afford to be low-key. So it's true that you are in the limelight in this compound and often become the center of the topic."
Jiang Duo smiled, a little helpless, that's it.
The two went to the grandfather's house first, and Fang Shuyu was there by chance.
Mingzhu was still wondering: "Aunt, why are you so idle today?"
"I don't want to see your cousin who does nothing at home. I feel upset after seeing her for too long. I wanted to go out for a walk, but the people outside looked at me strangely today. I guess they were all talking about Jiang Shan. I couldn't afford to lose face, so I ran to your grandfather's place to hide away. Zhuzhu, the noise outside today... is it unpleasant?"
Mingzhu: ...
"It's quite unpleasant. My mom went out today and heard several versions. The most outrageous thing is that some people said that Jiang Shan did something shameful with the sharp-mouthed monkey and was caught. She had no choice but to follow the sharp-mouthed monkey. They said that our family had no choice but to admit the sharp-mouthed monkey."
"Bah, your sister said that she and Sharp-billed Monkey didn't do anything inappropriate. Who is so heartless as to say such irresponsible things? Such a young girl, who hasn't even gotten married yet, has been rumored to have such dirty things happen to her. What good will this do to her in the future? Even if Jiang Shan really breaks up with Sharp-billed Monkey in the future, no matchmaker will dare to come to their house. Zhuzhu, is there any way we can avoid these ugly words? We can't let your cousin be ruined."
Thinking of this, Third Aunt's eyes turned red with discomfort, and her head began to ache slightly again.
Mingzhu thought that this was not a big deal.
She sat next to Tian Hongxiu and smiled: "Auntie, don't worry. These rumors are bound to happen sooner or later. If we clarify it secretly, and Jiang Shan doesn't know what happened, then these rumors will be meaningless. Let the incident ferment for a while. We must let the person involved know what she has experienced. Whether we can wake up the person who pretended to be asleep is the key."
"You... have a solution?"
Mingzhu nodded: "But you have to be prepared. In two or three days, you will have a quarrel with someone..."
