Chapter 86

Jing Xian almost laughed out loud when she saw this scene.

Shang Nanchen started to get angry with the old man again.

This is true!!!

Fortunately, Shang Yongchang is not too old, otherwise Shang Nanchen would have been so upset that he would have lost his popularity.

"Dad, please try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll make something else for you." Jing Xian said nervously, which made Shang Yongchang look much better.

Shang Yongchang stared at his eldest son gloomily, cursing him in his heart as an uneducated little beast.

After I finished scolding, I realized that I was scolding myself as well.

I feel even more depressed.

He was really pissed off.

But Shang Nanchen ate so deliciously that he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and start eating. After the first bite, he immediately felt that although this daughter-in-law was not to his liking in every aspect, her cooking skills satisfied him.

Although we cook the same meal, Qiuqin’s meal doesn’t taste good. If she didn’t use too much oil, it would be inedible.

The dishes cooked by Jing Xian are different. They don’t look oily, but they taste very good, comparable to the cooking skills of the chefs in state-owned hotels.

Shang Yongchang's face looked better now, and he said to Jing Xian, "Sit down and eat. Our family is not like landlords and rich people who care about these things."

"Thank you, Dad."

Jing Xian sat down cautiously, but sneered in her heart.

He still had the nerve to say that he was not a landlord or rich man. That gloomy face just now was meant for her to see.

If she wasn't a good cook, she would probably have to wait until the father and son had dinner before she could sit at the table to eat.

Shang Nanchen watched Jing Xian acting again, playing the role of a newly married, unpopular young wife to perfection. If Shang Nanchen hadn't seen the sarcasm on her lips, he would have thought his wife had changed her mind.

He secretly held her hand under the table.

Jing Xian didn't look at him, she shook his hand back and then let go.

She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

There was no meat or vegetables.

Shang Yongchang's expression softened again. He felt that although Jing Xian's background was not that good, she was still well-behaved.

Shang Nanchen's eyes were cold as he secretly picked up some food for Jing Xian, which contained a lot of meat. After he finished, he looked at Shang Yongchang, and happened to meet his eyes. Shang Yongchang was caught by his son, and he didn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

After dinner, Shang Yongchang sat there drinking tea. Jing Xian put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and piled them up there, with no intention of washing them at all.

She glanced at Shang Nanchen and yawned secretly.

Shang Yongchang looked at his daughter-in-law sitting there, yawning one after another. He also yawned continuously and felt a little sleepy. He stood up and said, "You two should go back to your room and have a rest."

"Then where do we live?" Shang Nanchen asked.

Shang Yongchang said, "There is an empty room upstairs. You two can move in there."

The guest room is called a guest room, but the things inside do not look like guest rooms.

I don't know who lives here.

Jing Xian didn't want to sleep on a bed that someone else had slept on, so she sat on it and watched Shang Nanchen tossing around, and found that this place might be where the daughter born to Xu Xiuying lived. And Xu Xiuying would often come here to live.

"How do you know Xu Xiuying will come to live here?" Jing Xian asked him in surprise.

Shang Nanchen said: "I can see it."

Did you see that?

How come she didn't see it?

Jing Xian noticed, thinking about Shang Nanchen's actions, she walked over to open the door of the closet, saw the clothes inside, and raised her eyebrows. She finally knew why Shang Nanchen said that.

The closet is full of Xu Xiuying's clothes.

"Do you think there might be some clues in the closet here?"

Jing Xian started to check. Shang Nanchen was about to stop her, but when he turned around, he saw that Jing Xian didn't start directly, but tied up her big braid so that not a single hair could fall out. After a careful observation, he started to look for something.

Shang Nanchen was amazed by her careful and cautious approach.

"Who did you learn this from?" Shang Nan

I asked in a low voice.

Jing Xian kept her eyes on the closet. "I once saw a picture book from my master. It was about a case. In ancient times, spies would sneak into a study to find clues and restore everything that had been moved in the study. This way, they wouldn't be discovered."

"That book is well written." Shang Nanchen praised her.

Jing Xian smiled and continued to look through Xu Xiuying's clothes. There were not many clothes, but she did not miss any details.

After checking the clothes, nothing was found.

Jing Xian didn't give up. She suddenly stared at the board under the closet in a trance.

Shang Nanchen looked for her in other places and found her in a daze. He came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, he also saw the board.

Without Jingxian saying anything, he took the board down directly.

Seeing that there were several letters inside, Shang Nanchen's eyes narrowed instantly. These were not the ones used by their troops, but ones made in country D, which most people didn't have.

Moreover, it is a women's gun.

This is definitely not what Xu Xiuying deserves.

She shouldn't have had any other gun.

"What's written in the letter?" Jing Xian asked him to take out the letter and read it.

Shang Nanchen opened the letter and found that the content was written in R. Jing Xian couldn't understand it and frowned, but she found that Shang Nanchen was reading it very seriously and his expression became more and more serious.

He read one letter after another until he had finished reading all of them, and then put them back in their original sealed state.

“Is she in big trouble?”

Jing Xian looked at Shang Nanchen's face. Although she didn't know the content of the letter, she knew that people who knew the R language were not simple. She was just worried that Xu Xiuying would affect Shang Nanchen's future.

Shang Nanchen shook his head, silently put the board back, and asked Jing Xian to put the clothes back.

Just then, voices were heard outside.

Then someone knocked on the door anxiously: "Open the door!"

Jing Xian and Shang Nanchen looked at each other. Jing Xian hurriedly put the clothes in and found that the top few pieces of clothes were different from before, but there was no time to tidy them up. She put the clothes on in a hurry and threw the top few pieces of clothes on the bed.

The door was pushed open from the outside. Xu Xiuying stood at the door and saw Jing Xian with half of her clothes on. Her face was gloomy.

"Did your parents teach you not to touch other people's things casually?" Xu Xiuying looked as if she wanted to eat Jing Xian.

Jing Xian looked at Xu Xiuying timidly, took off her clothes and threw them into the closet, and whispered, "I don't have parents."

Xu Xiuying was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She walked in and wanted to check her closet, but she forced herself to hold back.

She always felt that Shang Nanchen came here for a purpose, which made her feel uneasy. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she came back directly.

As soon as she came back, she asked the guard at the door and learned that Shang Nanchen had not left. She immediately walked back and saw Shang Yongchang sleeping in the room. She didn't see Shang Nanchen downstairs, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"I just think the clothes in the closet are nice and I want to try them on. I don't mean to take your clothes." Jing Xian said this, which made her very angry.

Xu Xiuying came over and pushed her away, and saw that the clothes at the bottom of the closet were still arranged in good order, just as they were before she left. Only the clothes at the top were messed up.

She saw a few pieces of clothing thrown on the bed and said sarcastically, "Shang Nanchen, your father said he would give you a new wife, but you refused. Now look at this, is this kind of person worthy of being in Shang's family? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you go out?"

"I think she's pretty good." Shang Nanchen protected Jing Xian behind him and said coldly, "She married me uprightly, what's there to be ashamed of? Her ancestors for nine generations were also poor farmers, the most glorious propertyless class. Xu Xiuying, are you looking down on the propertyless class?"

After such a big accusation was put on her, Xu Xiuzhi wished that Shang Nanchen would die.

"This is my room, please go out." Xu Xiuying said and drove them away.

Shang Nanchen pulled Jing Xian out and said, "I'm going to talk to my dad about this."

Xu Xiu

Ying sneered: "Your father is not in good health. If you have any filial piety, you should not wake him up at this time."

"Do you think I am you?" Shang Nanchen pulled Jing Xian and walked downstairs.

She knew that he was in an unstable mood, so she held his hand tightly and comforted him silently.

This is not the place to talk, so the two of them sat on the sofa and neither of them spoke.

But their minds are connected.

Shang Yongchang woke up around one o'clock in the afternoon.

He had a rare good sleep and when he woke up he was in a good mood.

Looking at his wife sitting on the bed crying in grievance, he reached out and held her in his arms, coaxing her: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to Chongling's place? Why are you back?"

"Thank goodness I'm back. If I hadn't come back, our house would have been moved out by your good daughter-in-law." Xu Xiuying cried bitterly, and she deliberately posed in the angle that Shang Yongchang liked the most. She looked pitiful.

Shang Yongchang immediately asked with a gloomy face: "What did that evil boy do again?"

"I didn't do anything." Xu Xiuying wiped her tears, but they were like beads that had been cut off from a string and could not be wiped dry. "It's also my fault. As a mother-in-law, I didn't prepare more clothes for my daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen my clothes and wanted to try them on."

Xu Xiuying would not have said this if she was not sure that her things had not been touched by anyone.

She would definitely shut up and put the blame on Shang Yongchang.

She is so heartless.

Shang Yongchang got angry when he heard this.

"What is Shang Nanchen doing? His wife touched your things without your permission, and he didn't even tell her? Is this what his grandparents taught him? This wicked son! He had to marry such a shabby woman. What's the point of having good looks!"

Shang Yongchang cursed very fiercely.

Xu Xiuying leaned in his arms, out of his sight, her eyes full of sarcasm.

The reason why Shang Nanchen is so lustful and only looks at the face when marrying a wife is because of his father. Shang Yongchang was also attracted by her beauty and couldn't wait to get together with her. She took advantage of her big belly to force the marriage.

However, she was not the kind of stupid woman who went straight to An Xie to force marriage.

Going to someone's home to force a marriage is the most undesirable.

She adopted a gentle approach.

As long as she wanted to die and make him forget about her, he would naturally clear all obstacles for her.

Shang Yongchang comforted Xu Xiuying for a while, then stood up and asked, "Where is that evil boy?"

"Downstairs?" Xu Xiuying wanted to cry again, "I didn't know where they were. I saw their clothes scattered all over the bed, and I got angry, so I let them go."

"You rest well in the room. I'm going to teach that evil boy a lesson." Shang Yongchang stood up and was about to go downstairs. Xu Xiuying nervously pulled his sleeve.

Shang Yongchang enjoyed her little girl behavior.

Shang Yongchang patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't beat him to death."

Xu Xiuying nodded with tears in her eyes.

But what I was thinking in my heart was that it would be best to beat Shang Nanchen to death directly.

Shang Yongchang went downstairs and she followed him down, but she didn't go out. Instead, she hid and listened to what they said.

"What's your wife's name?"

Shang Yongchang saw Shang Nanchen sitting on the sofa, and then looked at the weak young wife beside him, and he immediately became furious.

When Shang Nanchen heard the tone, he knew that it was Xu Xiuying who was complaining.

He said in a deep voice: "Jing Xian."

"Jingxian, you are from the countryside, I won't say anything if you are ignorant. But you can't be uneducated. Who taught you to touch other people's things when you go to their homes? You marry Shang Nanchen, I don't ask you to help him, but you can't hold him back. Wait a minute, go upstairs and apologize to your mother, when she forgives you, you can come down from the stairs. If she scolds you, you have to bear it."

"No."

Jing Xian didn't say anything, and Shang Nanchen had already gone back stiffly.

"What did you say?" Shang Yongchang was so angry that he almost died.

Shang Nanchen

He said sarcastically: "Why should I apologize?"

"She messed with other people's things, shouldn't she apologize?" Shang Yongchang roared angrily.

"I was wrong about this, Dad. I'm sorry. Please tell Auntie for me! It's my fault that I grew up in the countryside, had no one to teach me, and never seen a piece of nice clothing. So when I saw Auntie's full closet of clothes, I couldn't help but want to try them on secretly." Jing Xian said while crying silently, looking so pitiful.

Shang Yongchang looked at that face and couldn't continue to scold him. He yelled at Shang Nanchen with a dark face: "What do you do for a living? You don't even buy some clothes for your wife? How embarrassing it would be if this matter got out?"

Jing Xian stood up and said on behalf of Shang Nanchen, "Dad, don't blame him! His monthly salary is only 52.9 yuan. There are many children in the family, and the four boys waste clothes. There are not enough cloth coupons to make clothes for them. I am an adult, so I can only save money."

Shang Yongchang frowned immediately.

Xu Xiuzhi knew something was wrong when she saw this, so she came down from the building immediately and said, "Yongchang, stop scolding the child. She has had a hard time too."

Shang Yongchang felt that this daughter-in-law was perfect.

In front of the children, he did not pat Xu Xiuying's hand, but said: "Do we still have cloth coupons at home? Take some out, and give her another 100 yuan, so that she can go to the mall to buy some decent clothes. Don't think about others when you don't have any, and don't be afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out."

Xu Xiuzhi almost vomited blood when she heard what he said.

She suppressed her discomfort and said, "Why don't you give my clothes to Jingxian? Look, Jingxian likes them so much..."

"No, no, no, no! I don't want it." Jing Xian's voice was a little sharp when she spoke, and her face was full of panic. She was so scared that she hid behind Shang Nanchen.

When it comes to the lotus spirit, Jing Xian has never lost.

Shang Yongchang got a headache when he saw her like this: "Go get the money, two hundred! Hurry and send them back."

Two hundred at a time!

And they also give us cloth coupons!!!

Xu Xiuying was so angry that she nearly fainted, but she couldn't show it.

She cursed Shang Yongchang to death in her heart, and if possible, she really wanted Shang Yongchang to shut up forever.

Shang Nanchen walked over with a cold face to comfort Jing Xian.

Jing Xian stood there with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, looking just like a bullied young wife.

Although the tears are falling, there is no unnecessary emotion in his eyes, they are so cold that he doesn't look like a human.

"I'll take you shopping for clothes later, and you'll have new clothes to wear in the future. You won't have to wear other people's old clothes anymore." Shang Nanchen's words brought Jing Xian back from her cold state, as if she was isolated from the world.

She rested her head gently against his body and whispered, "But the children have no winter clothes. The cotton I planted in the backyard is not enough to make cotton-padded clothes for the children. Damao is already in junior high school, and he doesn't even have a pen. Let's go buy pens for the children later! The other three children will need them next year."

Jing Xian's tone really makes people feel distressed.

Shang Yongchang thought his son's salary was not enough to support his family, but when he saw his daughter-in-law's patched clothes and her thin wrists, he said to Xu Xiuying, "Go to my study and get four pens."

Xu Xiuying's head started throbbing when she heard this.

She had to get it.

Jing Xian raised the corners of her lips slightly, but said in a panic: "Dad, no, really no. We, your children, have not been filial to you, so how can we take your things?"

"Take it." Shang Yongchang said in a deep voice.

Xu Xiuying came down from the building and handed the things to Jingxian with a painful look. She looked at Jingxian with contempt but spoke in a very gentle tone: "This is a little gift from your father. You don't come here often, but your father misses you and the children very much. Next time you come, bring the children with you."

"No, no, no, we can't have it. It's too expensive." Jing Xian pushed the thing over hypocritically, but she was no match for Xu Xiuying in strength.

Xu Xiuying gritted her teeth secretly, wishing she could tear Jingxian's pretentious face to pieces.

"If you don't take it, don't come here again." God knows what Xu Xiuying meant when she said this.

I really want to slap myself twice.

Jing Xian had no choice but to accept the things.

She wanted to stay and cook, but Xu Xiuying said, "You guys go to the mall now and buy some clothes. I'll ask Qiuqin to come back and cook dinner."

Jing Xian said embarrassedly: "Then we won't come over for dinner after a while."

Xu Xiuying knew that she was worried that they would go back on their word and ask for the money back, and she looked down on Jing Xian even more: "Then be careful on your way back."

"Thank you, Auntie. We got it."

Jing Xian timidly pulled Shang Nanchen away, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard.

Shang Nanchen drove away from his family compound.

Suddenly, Jing Xian looked out the window and realized something was wrong.

"Hey, isn't this the way back?" she said in surprise.

Shang Nanchen acted very calm: "Let's do the whole act and go buy some clothes."

"But I have enough clothes to wear!" Jing Xian thought, "How about buying something else?"

"No need, buy a woolen coat. Buy an autumn jacket." Shang Nanchen said as he drove the car to the department store.

He pulled Jing Xian inside and saw a beige wool coat. Without saying a word, he asked the salesperson to pick it up.

The salesperson was very attentive when he saw that he was wearing a military uniform.

"This coat is fifty dollars."

This price is really not cheap.

Jing Xian couldn't bear to leave immediately.

Shang Nanchen took out the money directly: "I bought it."

The weather turned cold and it was very cool when we returned.

Shang Nanchen bought it and let Jing Xian wear it directly.

Jing Xian was embarrassed to wear it: "How can anyone just buy clothes and wear them?"

"Why not?" Shang Nanchen pulled Jing Xian inside.

Jingxian found that there were many autumn clothes and pants, white towels, colorful towels, turtleneck sweaters, socks, etc. on the counter. Children were tired of wearing socks, so they should buy more socks.

Socks cost one dollar a pair.

Jing Xian bought two pairs for her child and herself. When Shang Nanchen came, she bought him five pairs.

The towels were 65 cents a piece and she bought four.

One for each of the children.

White towels are cheap, only 42 cents.

Jingxian bought ten.

A turtleneck sweater cost five dollars and seventy-eight cents, one for each member of the family.

The vests were 1.7 yuan each, and the four of them bought two each.

I also bought straw paper for the children to bind together and use as notebooks for them to write on. This is cheap and is mainly used by Da Mao. The other children also use it, but they use less than Da Mao.

She also bought some good paper and made notebooks for the children.

Anyway, they spent all their money given by the old man on buying things, and in the end they only spent one hundred and thirty dollars.

The visitor drove home after buying things.

Halfway through the drive, Shang Nanchen told Jing Xian the contents of the letter.

"Xu Xiuying is mixed-race."

Just one sentence made Jing Xian understand where Xu Xiuying's blood was from.

She frowned and asked, "So what does she work for?"

"Opposite." The specific situation needs further investigation.

The two returned home in silence.

The next morning, Shang Nanchen went to the troops.

Jing Xian was still on vacation, so she washed all the clothes at home.

She did the laundry and the children helped.

Wang Hongmei went to look for Zhao Xiuzhi and happened to pass by their home. Seeing this, she deliberately said loudly, "It's not okay if they are not biological children. They have to ask the children to help with the laundry. If the biological mother was here, she would definitely not be able to bear it and would not want the children to suffer with her."

Tiedan stood up angrily and was about to rush out to speak.

"Come back." Jing Xian immediately stopped him.

"Mom!" Tiedan was very unhappy, "You let her say that to you?"

"It won't hurt to say a few words. If I don't let you wash and ask you to go out and play, she will just say that I am guilty." Jing Xian continued to take the children to wash clothes and said,

Wash well. When you learn, you can wash your own clothes in the future. In a few years, you will graduate from high school. Whether you go to the countryside or join the army, you will have to wash your own clothes. Learn now so that I can do it easily. "

Iron Egg: “…”

He squatted down angrily and continued washing clothes.

The weather is cold.

It's not very cold either.

Hot water is used when washing clothes.

She doesn't want to have pain in her finger joints when she gets old.

After washing the clothes, the whole yard became cool.

Zhao Xiuzhi originally planned to come over to see the joke, but when she saw the clothes all over the yard, she asked in surprise, "Oh my god, so many clothes are new? Did you buy all these at the hotel yesterday?"

"It's getting cold, and the children don't have many clothes, so I went there specially to buy them this time." Jing Xian didn't hide anything. Everyone knew how much she and Shang Nanchen earned.

Besides, this money was not their own, but was taken from Shang Yongchang.

Just like Bai Li.

Spending is really fun.

It’s especially refreshing to see Xu Xiuying’s face twisted with anger yet still trying hard to smile!
