Chapter 48

"Your family won't push you. You can get married whenever you want."

Jing Xian felt that it might be harder for Song Ning to find a partner than for others.

It's not that she's bad.

But it's just that an ordinary family like hers can't afford to support her.

Song Ning came over with a smile and asked with a blushing face: "Sister-in-law, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Brothers and sisters?

It really exists.

However...

"Did you see the scar on my forehead?" Jing Xian asked indifferently.

Song Ning took a closer look and found that there was indeed a scar on Jingxian's forehead. It was unknown how long it had been there, but it was painful just looking at it.

"How did this happen?"

Jing Xian: "My sister pushed it."

"Sister?" Song Ning's eyes widened and he asked, "My real sister?"

"Yeah." Jing Xian didn't care about others knowing her own affairs, "My mother was terrified at the time."

Song Ning understood and said, "That's right, didn't your mother beat your sister?"

Jing Xian looked a little strange: "She took my sister out and told my brother and my father to come back. She was going to marry me off to the countryside to be the wife of the factory director's idiot brother."

"Are you my biological child?"

Song Ning felt horrified.

It's so terrible!

Jingxian said: "I am her biological child. She almost died when she gave birth to me, so she hated me. They didn't allow me to have the same last name as them, so I took my grandmother's last name."

Song Ning really didn't expect Jing Xian to have parents like that. If Jing Xian didn't say it, she wouldn't be able to tell at all.

She burst into tears, waved her fist and said loudly: "Jingxian, don't worry, if they come to bully you again in the future, I will definitely not let them have an easy time!"

Jing Xian raised her eyebrows and glanced at her slender little arms.

Song Ning lowered his head to follow her line of sight and said confidently, "Don't look at me because I'm thin, but I'm popular. One call will attract a hundred responses, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand."

Jing Xian thinks Song Ning’s mouth is not very pleasing, but it depends on the person.

At least I'm becoming more and more normal in front of her.

It’s still early after planting the fields.

Song Ning left on his own without anyone seeing him off.

Jing Xian packed up the farm tools and watched Shang Nanchen pump water to irrigate the fields.

The well didn't produce much water, just a little at a time, and it might not be finished even if you pumped the water for more than an hour. Shang Nanchen pumped the well before dark, and it was early spring, so he was still sweating a lot.

Several children came in from outside and took turns to pump the well and water the ground.

Jing Xian entered the room, picked up the letter on the cabinet, and called Shang Nanchen to come in and read it together.

The letter was sent by Liu Lijuan.

Song Ning helped to bring it here, but I didn't have time to check it out at that time.

"Is it a letter from Liu Lijuan?" Shang Nanchen lifted the curtain and came in, and asked when he saw the letter in her hand.

"Um."

Jing Xian opened the letter and read it while sitting on the kang.

The letter was written by Shi Huaiming and the words were spoken by Liu Lijuan.

I asked her if she was okay, if she needed anything, and if she wanted it to be mailed to me.

Suddenly, Jing Xian's face looked a little ugly.

Shang Nanchen came over and asked, "What's wrong? What did the letter say?"

"Nothing." I just felt it was a bit unlucky.

Jing Xian didn't expect that the Jing family could still survive.

Jing Mingyue got married last month.

Married to the director of the Revolutionary Committee.

The Jing family was "cleared of all wrongs" and left the countryside. Daming and his wife returned to their original unit to work, and their salary was raised by one level.

Jing Mingyang, the only one who had not been implicated before, was recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

At this time, the Jing family.

Jing Daming moved back to his original family compound. Their previous residence had been given to someone else, but Director Zhou's house had not been divided yet and now became their home.

The Jing family relied on their daughter marrying the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and walked around the family compound with their necks held high, fearing that others would not know.

They now have a backer.

"Let me know which bastard reported it, I will tear his head off and kick it like a ball!" Zhou Huifang finished cursing, picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite. "Also, is there any news from that damn girl Jingxian?"

Jing Daming was sitting cross-legged on the kang, drinking a little wine. When he heard Zhou Huifang mention Jing Xian's name, he frowned and said, "Where can I find her? However, I heard from the people at the pharmaceutical factory that she seems to have married someone and ran away with him."

"Shameless scumbag." Zhou Huifang cursed particularly harshly, using all sorts of dirty words. "If you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life and just die out there. Little ungrateful bastard, I raised her to this age, and she still feels wronged for bringing some money home, and she actually sold her job without a word!"

Jing Daming said with a gloomy face: "Eighteen yuan a month, I gave you fifteen yuan for a year. I told her not to take the money before the New Year and keep it for herself, but you refused. Even rabbits bite when they are angry. You pushed her to this point, and she didn't run away and stayed here to make money for you?"

"Three yuan a month is not a small amount! She doesn't even get three yuan a year in the countryside." Zhou Huifang raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at Jing Daming, "Don't blame me for everything. Wasn't it you who acquiesced in it?"

Jing Daming frowned and dared not speak.

He took a puff of the cigarette from the tube, puffing as if he didn't hear anything.

Zhou Huifang got angry when she saw him smoking: "Smoking, smoking, why don't you just smoke yourself to death."

"This was given to me by my son-in-law. Why can't I smoke it?"

Jing Daming didn't like smoking cigarettes, he thought they were not strong enough, so he preferred to smoke dry tobacco. Dry tobacco was hard to make, but the tobacco his son-in-law brought him was good stuff.

Speaking of her son-in-law, Zhou Huifang seemed like a different person, with a smile all over her face.

"Mingyue is the one who was not raised in vain. What did I tell you before? I said that Jingxian, that damn girl, was not presentable and could not be compared with Mingyue at all. I don't know what kind of luck she had to be assigned to work in a pharmaceutical factory. In my opinion, your stepmother must have had an affair with that Mongolian doctor in the village." When the old man was alive, Zhou Huifang suffered a lot from the old lady.

Only after the old man died could she finally stand up and sing again.

Jing Daming said with a dark face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense? Let me ask you, how could your stepmother, an old country lady, send Jingxian to work in a pharmaceutical factory? A pharmaceutical factory is different from other places, not everyone can go to work there. If not that Mongolian doctor, who else can help?" Zhou Huifang said confidently.

Jing Daming puffed on his cigarette and said, "I'm not a Mongolian doctor, I'm a medical doctor."

“No difference.”

If people from all over the country hadn't come to that old man for medical treatment, he would have definitely met with a bad end.

The more Zhou Huifang thought about it, the more unwilling she became: "Let's get someone to look for her. Once they find that damn girl, bring her back."

That job was sold for five hundred dollars!

There has been no salary in the family in the past few months, and Zhou Huifang was reluctant to spend the money she had, and she became more and more concerned about the 500 yuan in Jingxian's hand.

Jing Xian is not the one Zhou Huifang is thinking about.

She felt one of her ears was a little hot, so she reached out to touch it, then frowned and handed the letter to Shang Nanchen.

"What's wrong?"

"Look for yourself." Jing Xian didn't want to see those bad things.

Shang Nanchen took the letter and his face darkened when he saw its contents.

Jing Xian came over to look at his face and said, "Are you unhappy? Actually, they were criticized and lost their jobs, which is good enough. You can't really drive them to death, right?"

Jingxian thought it was nothing.

Anyway, Shang Nanchen's ex-wife didn't have a job, so her life was not easy.

Without money and with a tight life, how could they possibly live happily together?

Then we will blame each other.

Life won't get better.

Shang Nanchen frowned and looked at her: "I'm worried that I won't get the money back."

"If I had given it, I would have given it long ago." Jing Xian said with a smile, "Although my methods are not very good, your mother-in-law and your ex-wife are now

Everyone in her husband’s family knows that she is a slut, and her reputation is not good to hear.”

In ancient times, women with thin skin would have hanged themselves long ago.

Shang Nanchen's ex-wife is extremely shameless.

"You don't think this move of mine is too cruel, do you?" Jing Xian looked at Shang Nanchen intently. As long as Shang Nanchen dared to abandon her, she would never care about his trivial matters again.

Shang Nanchen said without thinking: "How can you call this cruel? You have never seen a truly cruel person. Those people can even harm children... Forget it, I won't tell you this. Don't think too much. This is my fault. If it weren't for the two children, how could I let her go so easily."

It was his ex-mother-in-law who was shameless and abused his son. He couldn't swallow this and wrote the letter of denunciation.

"Then I'll write a reply to my elder sister." Jing Xian found the letter paper and took out the pen to write.

Shang Nanchen asked her: "What are you going to write?"

"I asked her to burn all my letters to avoid getting into trouble. There's nothing else to write." Jing Xian said that there was nothing to write, but she still wrote several pages of letters.

She put the letter into an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Shang Nanchen, asking him to mail it on the way.

on Monday.

School starts.

The four children went to school and did not come back for lunch after school. As the time was short, they ate in school. Jing Xian gave them money to buy lunch tickets. She herself did not go home and just ate a bite in the cafeteria.

We don't light a fire at home at noon.

In the evening, Jing Xian had to heat the kang, so she made some stews that were time-consuming but simple.

Several children came back and lay on the kang to do their homework.

Smelling the fragrance coming from the outer room, Fusheng quickened the pace of writing his homework. He was the first to finish and sat in the outer room to help light the fire.

"When I came here from home, I brought some gourd seeds. Where is the best place to plant them?" Jing Xian talked to Shang Nanchen while cooking.

Shang Nanchen said: "You can plant it wherever you want."

"Then plant them at the base of the wall. And as for the gourds, plant them there together when the time comes." Jing Xian planned to plant a few gourds, and then select a few to cut open and use as a backdrop.

Small scoop for noodles, rice, beans, etc.

It has many uses.

Gourd can be used to make dumplings or stuffing for steamed buns. Children like to eat stuffed dumplings. If you add some meat or oil residue, they will definitely like it.

After dinner, the children went out to play.

Jing Xian stimulated the seeds to germinate for a while, then used a small hoe to dig a few holes on the wall and planted the gourd seeds and bottle gourd seeds there.

Gourds and gourds need climbing frames.

Jing Xian strolled to the back mountain, found some thick reed branches, and waited a few days to put up the frame.

"Is anyone home?"

Suddenly, someone stood at the door and shouted.

Jing Xian looked down at the pile of reed sticks in the corner, and her heart skipped a beat.

Is it not allowed to go to the back mountain to chop firewood without permission?

So you came here specifically to catch her?
