Just because of Wang Changxing's age and his disabled legs, she could not agree to it at all. She could not ruin her daughter's second half of life.
"Our Lingling is still young, so let's not talk about marriage for now. I heard that your uncle on your mother's side has a daughter who is outstanding in appearance and character, and is at the right age to get married. Why don't you go and talk to her and help the village chief resolve a worry."
Her mother-in-law is a smart person and knows how to give others a taste of their own medicine.
This matchmaking failed, and instead she got herself into trouble. Zhang Xiaoqin was still in shock.
Although she was sarcastic, arrogant, and could not stand seeing others succeed, she still had a clear distinction between close and distant relatives. How could she let her own cousin jump into such a fire pit?
"How can my cousin compare to Lingling? Besides, the village chief is interested in Lingling. Mother, why are you digressing?"
Her mother-in-law didn't want to argue with them any more, so she made some excuses and prepared to send them away. "Village Chief, why don't you continue chatting with Xiaoqin? It's getting late, and I have to go prepare pig food and dinner."
After her mother-in-law finished speaking, she stood up and walked into the house, handing the hot potato back to Zhang Xiaoqin.
As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. The village chief was well aware of Zhang Xiaoqin's character. Since her mother-in-law's righteous path wasn't working, the village chief had his eye on Shumei's devious path. Considering his elderly and ailing sister was away, he was determined to help Changxing secure this marriage, no matter what.
The village chief lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Xiaoqin in her ear.
Zhang Xiaoqin smiled and nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Finally, she happily agreed to the village chief and promised to do her best to bring Wang Changxing and Jiang Ling together.
The village chief then left the Jiang family with satisfaction. I don’t know what benefits the village chief gave to Zhang Xiaoqin that made Zhang Xiaoqin agree so readily.
Under the coercion and inducement of the village chief, or more accurately, in order to obtain the benefits promised by the village chief, Zhang Xiaoqin began to harbor evil thoughts and prepared to use the old trick of making a fait accompli to complete the task assigned by the village chief.
Without telling the village chief, she made an appointment with Wang Changxing and told him about her opportunity. After hearing it, Wang Changxing thought her method was indeed feasible and agreed to cooperate with her in this good show.
Zhang Xiaoqin went to the town's pharmacy in advance to buy some tranquilizers, and made an appointment with Wang Changxing. She asked him to wait at the back door that day. After everything was ready inside, she would let him in so that he could win the beauty.
The night before, in order to get rid of her family members for the next day, she ran over in the middle of the night, uncovered the quilts of her two children, and deliberately opened the windows wide.
The next morning, both children developed high fevers as she wished.
She was the hands-off boss of the family. When the child was sick, her parents-in-law and Jiang Fu would take him to the hospital, while she would stay at home to look after the house.
This day was the day Jiang Ling returned home. Zhang Xiaoqin had invited a few talkative women to her house in advance, saying that she wanted to ask them for advice on shoe-sewing techniques, and she also served them good tea. Naturally, those people chatted enthusiastically, discussing shoe-sewing together in the yard with laughter.
"Lingling is back!"
"Well, my sister-in-law is sewing shoe soles."
Jiang Ling returned home on time. As soon as she saw the people in the yard, she politely greeted them one by one and walked straight into the house with her bag on her back.
Zhang Xiaoqin quickly put down the insole in her hand and said, "We're out of peanuts. You guys chat first, I'll get some more."
She followed Jiang Ling and took a cup of tea with tranquilizers prepared long ago to Jiang Ling's room.
"Lingling, you must be thirsty after walking so far. Come, I've just made some tea. It's just the right temperature. Drink some to quench your thirst." Zhang Xiaoqin handed the tea to Lingling, acting like a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law.
Jiang Ling didn't doubt it at all and drank half of the cup.
Zhang Xiaoqin took out the paper and pen she had prepared and put on an embarrassed expression. "Lingling! You know your sister-in-law can't read much, and she wants to write a letter to my distant cousin. You are well-educated, so could you write it for her? I'll read it to you."
"No problem! Just tell me, sister-in-law!" Jiang Ling agreed happily.
Although she felt that her sister-in-law was a little strange today, she didn't think much of it. As the saying goes, if you respect me one foot, I will return you ten feet. Since her sister-in-law treated her well, she had no reason to give her a hard time.
Seeing that Jiang Ling agreed, Zhang Xiaoqin quickly handed her the pen and paper.
"Sister-in-law, tell me!"
"Dear Changxing: Lingling, Chang is the Chang in long and short, and Xing is the Xing in prosperous." Zhang Xiaoqin was afraid that Lingling was spelled wrong. This name is the most important one, so she explained it specially.
"Sister-in-law, I just need to explain the name, and you can just read it from now on."
"Oh! I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long. When I come back, I'll invite you to my house to get together and ease my longing for you."
Zhang Xiaoqin didn't dare let her write too much, for fear that it would arouse her suspicion.
"That's it?"
"That's all. The letter doesn't have to be long, as long as it gets the point across. Have you finished writing it?"
"Okay, just read it carefully. If someone doesn't know, they might think you're writing this to your lover, sister-in-law."
Lingling handed the written letter to Zhang Xiaoqin and said jokingly. After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqin felt a little guilty and showed an embarrassed smile.
"Thank you! Lingling, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be out first. The aunts are still waiting in the yard!"
Zhang Xiaoqin put the letter in her pocket, walked out of the room, picked up the peanuts that had been prepared on the table in the main room, and walked towards the yard.
After chatting in the yard for a while, she estimated that the medicine had taken effect and found an excuse to go back into the house.
Lingling crawled on the desk and fell asleep.
She dragged Lingling to the bed with great effort, stripped her clothes, and took away the remaining cup of tea Lingling had drunk. She went to the back door and handed the letter Lingling had just written to Wang Changxing.
