Chapter 720: If you don't love, you won't get hurt
After Mingzhu told Jiang Shan a few words, Jiang Shan nodded and told everyone to eat first. She ran out to chase him. She
didn't run far before she caught up with Liu Xiaoran at the intersection.
Although there were not many people at the intersection, there were a few aunties who had just finished their meal and were out for a walk.
Liu Xiaoran was standing face to face with them, and it was unknown what she was talking about.
Jiang Shan called from a distance: "Liu Xiaoran."
Liu Xiaoran turned around and saw Jiang Shan chasing after her. A smile appeared on her lips: "Shan Shan, why did you come out to find me when you weren't at home eating? Is there anything else you need my help with?" Jiang Shan
was also a smart person. When she heard this, she knew that Liu Xiaoran must have told these people that she had helped at home.
Because those aunts were looking at her with scrutiny, as if they had already made some guesses in their hearts.
Jiang Shan smiled: "No, today you suddenly broke into my house and insisted on helping. We asked you to leave but you refused. My family felt very pressured, thinking that our two families are not related at all. Although you said that you went to help voluntarily, we can't use you for nothing." As
she spoke, she took out three yuan from her pocket and handed it to Liu Xiaoran: "This is the salary my family asked me to bring to you. According to the salary of aunties in the market, it is one to two yuan a day. You stayed in my kitchen for an hour, and we paid you according to the average salary of two days."
The aunties who were watching the show nearby had different looks in their eyes, as if they were all watching a joke.
Liu Xiaoran's face obviously froze for a moment: "Shanshan, don't be like this, okay? I... I'm not going to ask for money."
"Our family knows, but we are not related in any way. We can't use you for nothing. It's not appropriate. If it gets out, I don't know how others will make up stories about us Jiang family being inhuman. For the sake of living in the same compound, please don't make things difficult for us."
She said, stuffing the money into Liu Xiaoran's pocket: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future. You work hard, and my family is in a dilemma. The key is that we are also afraid that my new sister-in-law will be suspicious. When you got married, my family didn't stop. Now that you are divorced, don't let my family's reputation be affected."
Liu Xiaoran frowned: "You... what are you talking about."
"To be honest," Jiang Shan smiled, "I am young and speak impulsively. If Ms. Liu finds my words unpleasant, she should take them to heart. After all... the next time I say something, it may be even more unpleasant."
"You..."
Jiang Shan didn't give her a chance to speak, and smiled, "I won't disturb Ms. Liu from chatting with a few aunts. I'm going back to have dinner with my family and my new sister-in-law. Bye." After she finished speaking, she
waved to the aunts who had been listening to her gossip for a long time, and ran home with a smile.
Liu Xiaoran heard the silence behind her, and she knew that the group of old women must be plotting against her in their hearts.
She couldn't stand this atmosphere, so she turned around and ran away crying.
Even if she couldn't use this opportunity to spread the gossip between her and Jiang Qi, she had to let people know that the Jiang family bullied her and made her cry.
As soon as she left, several aunts immediately gathered together and started gossiping.
That night, half of the family knew that Liu Xiaoran shamelessly ran to the Jiang family to do things for them, but was rejected by the Jiang family and was given a salary. When
Liu's father came back from outside and heard the rumors, he was really angry, and went home and beat up his disappointing daughter again.
"Didn't you say that even if you left the Kang family, you would definitely be able to marry into the Jiang family? Now look at what you have done. The Kang family is gone, and the Jiang family has abandoned you. Are you planning to harm me, your mother, and your brothers at home for the rest of our lives?"
"Dad, can't you just hope for the best for me?"
"I do want to hope for the best for you, but you don't do anything. You ruined the Kang family, which is such a big money bag. I'm short of money now, so I have to find a job for your brother. Your brother's job was also forced out because of your divorce from Kang Chengzhi. Your sister-in-law's mother came to our house crying and making a fuss again today. I'm almost annoyed. You said the Kang family was good, but you said you were leaving. Are you going to..."
"That's enough!" Liu Xiaoran shouted angrily: "If I can marry into the Jiang family, will I still worry about my brother's promotion and my brother's joblessness? I can't go back to the Kang family. You know Kang Jingzhi's temper. If I go to Kang Chengzhi now, it will only lead to Kang Jingzhi's revenge. If you really want my brother and my brother to get along, you'd better work with me to find a solution. I must marry into the Jiang family! No one can stop me!"
Father Liu looked at the cruel expression in Liu Xiaoran's eyes when she was wrapped in desire, and his heart unconsciously became a little cold.
Although this is his own daughter, sometimes she looks so... gloomy and scary.
"Where can I find a solution? You have to deal with the karma you have created yourself!" He cursed twice in anger and went back to the room.
Liu Xiaoran took out the three yuan from his pocket, threw it on the ground and crushed it hard.
Jiang Qi! Don't think about getting rid of me.
They were mad over there, but the atmosphere in Uncle San's house couldn't be more harmonious.
After dinner, Mingzhu took a few people to the basketball court. She asked Guan Xia to accompany her to watch Jiang Qi and Jiang Duo play with the three little ones. She also let people around know that Guan Xia lived here now, so that she could help spread the "gossip" outside.
Whenever she saw Jiang Qi make a long-range shot, she would praise Jiang Qi for being handsome. She was simply using her eloquent tongue to persuade Guan Xia in every possible way to promote Jiang Qi's virtues.
What kind of athletic man, good personality, good physical strength, good figure, good work, and worthy of entrusting your life to, one sentence after another.
Guan Xia could not fail to understand Mingzhu's meaning. She smiled and said softly: "Zhuzhu, Brother Qi is indeed a good person. I am willing to make friends with him, but marriage... I may not be suitable."
Mingzhu was a little puzzled: "Are you afraid that your cousin will hurt you like your ex-boyfriend?"
Guan Xia nodded and shook her head: "Brother Qi is different from him. I can feel that Brother Qi is a really good person, but he is not suitable for me."
The two were very engaged in the conversation. Guan Xia turned her back to the basketball hoop and did not notice that Jiang Qi came over to find water after scoring a goal.
After hearing what Guan Xia said, he slowed down his pace.
Mingzhu was facing that direction, and she saw Jiang Qi. She knew that Jiang Qi must have heard Guan Xia give him the nice guy card.
She smiled and asked in a guiding way: "How can a good man not be suitable? Don't you like my cousin?"
Jiang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Guan Xia's back.
Guan Xia was silent for a long time, then shook her head: "No, it's not about happiness, it's my heart... No, I don't dare to trust and rely on men from the bottom of my heart. I'm afraid of getting hurt, and I'm afraid of hurting the people who really care about me. Rather than loving and then disappointing them, it's better not to get involved in it from the beginning. If you don't love, you won't get hurt."
