Chapter 27
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Limei looked over warily. "Why are you asking this?"
Now that this has happened, she is absolutely wary of her daughter-in-law Lin Qiaoling.
Lin Qiaoling hadn't expected her mother-in-law, Wang Limei, to react so vigilantly. She smiled sheepishly, "Just asking. We're all family."
"I thought Director Liang's family was well-off, so he should have asked for a larger gift, right?"
Afraid Wang Limei would overthink things, she added, "Or else there will be less, and the Liang family won't cherish Meishu."
This is quite hurtful.
Whether it was for profit or out of genuine concern for Jiang Meishu, perhaps only Lin Qiaoling herself knew.
Wang Limei knew what Lin Qiaoling was up to when she heard this. "You'd better get over this thought. It doesn't matter whether there's a bride price or not. If you want a taller man, you'll cherish him, but if you want a shorter man, you won't cherish him."
"According to what you said, when my family gave you a betrothal gift of 58 yuan, was that considered high or low?"
This question left Lin Qiaoling speechless. She argued, "Aren't we different?"
"Da Li and I were in a free relationship. Plus, the Jiang family wasn't very well-off, so we asked for someone within our reasonable range."
The betrothal gift of fifty-eight yuan is not high, but it is not low either.
At that time, it was at least Jiang Chenliang's salary, more than two months' salary, and that was even without food or drink.
"So, I think the Liang family's conditions are better, so I can ask for a higher betrothal gift."
Lin Qiaoling made suggestions cautiously and tested the waters cautiously.
But, the words had just fallen.
Jiang Meishu came back after taking out the trash, holding a trash bucket in her hand. She stood at the door, her fair face tense and red, biting her teeth, "Lin Qiaoling, ask the Liang family for a betrothal gift. How much dowry can you give me?"
As soon as these words were said.
Lin Qiaoling fell silent for a moment. "Meishu, don't be angry. I was just suggesting it."
"Yeah." Jiang Meishu came in with the trash can and put it behind the door. She then said calmly, "I heard there's a rule in East City that no matter how much the man gives as a betrothal gift, the woman will return it double. I wonder if our family can meet this condition?"
Lin Qiaoling said subconsciously, "This is impossible."
"Who would give double the bride price as a dowry when marrying off their daughter these days? Isn't that a losing proposition?"
Jiang Meishu felt a little powerless when she heard this.
Many times, it was not just her mother Wang Limei, but every female comrade around her.
They all believe in raising daughters and marrying them off.
You don’t have to give a dowry, but you absolutely cannot lose money.
Giving too much dowry is considered a money-losing act.
That's called giving a bargain to outsiders.
However, since the family is too poor to afford a wife, he would sell everything he has to find one.
It's very double standard.
After listening to Lin Qiaoling's words, Jiang Meishu curled her lips and said, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Sister-in-law should go out and see the world more."
"Otherwise, it's easy to be blinded by one thing."
After saying this, she turned around and was about to go into the room, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered something and said to Wang Limei, "Mom, as for the betrothal gift, just give as much as the man is willing to give."
"We don't force it in our family."
The bride price is a touchstone.
Can test the man's attitude.
But this is suitable for ordinary families with similar family backgrounds. Their family background is too different from the Liang family, so it is not good to give too much betrothal gift, and it is not good to give too little betrothal gift either.
It would be better to let the Liang family speak for themselves.
They came to estimate the Liang family's betrothal gift with some sincerity.
Wang Limei nodded when she heard this. "I think so too. I won't ask for your betrothal gift. It depends on how much the Liang family is willing to give."
It's not that crazy after all.
In other words, she was still considering Jiang Meishu and had no intention of selling her out and squeezing her dry.
After hearing a few words from the two of them, the betrothal gift was given.
Lin Qiaoling was a little unwilling to give up. She was still encouraging her from the side, "Meishu is so beautiful and spoiled. If the betrothal gift is too low, I'm afraid people will laugh at her if we tell others about it. My Jiang family is raising a money-losing girl."
The words haven't been spoken yet.
Jiang Meishu's gentle face was filled with anger. She walked straight to Lin Qiaoling and said, "Lin Qiaoling, I'm not afraid to tell you that whether the betrothal gift is one yuan or one thousand yuan, it has nothing to do with you."
"The Liang family gave it to me, so put away your little thoughts as soon as possible!"
She didn't understand her sister-in-law who used to be kind.
Why has it become so unrecognizable now?
I also have to start thinking about the betrothal gift for my sister-in-law.
As soon as these words fell, Lin Qiaoling felt as if Jiang Meishu had stepped on her face. She felt extremely aggrieved and sobbed, "That's not what I meant. I'm just considering you from the perspective of someone who has been through this."
Jiang Meishu's face was expressionless. "Then you'd better not think about it."
This was a harsh remark, and it left Lin Qiaoling feeling embarrassed. "Mom, look at Meishu."
Unfortunately, her mother-in-law, who had been willing to help her in the past, sided with Jiang Meishu this time. "Qiaoling, no matter what you say, no matter how much betrothal gift the Liang family gives, it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Qiaoling almost blurted out, "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with the Jiang family, right?"
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Limei gave her a cold look, and Lin Qiaoling lowered her head almost instantly, swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The conversation ended unpleasantly.
Lin Qiaoling went to work.
Wang Limei looked at Jiang Meishu and said after a while, "Your sister-in-law is such a shallow-minded person. Don't bother with her."
Jiang Meishu pinched her fingers and didn't respond. After a while, she said, "I'll go find my sister."
She didn't really want to stay home.
Wang Limei also knew that her daughter was upset. She sighed and said, "Then when you go over, take the bag of bones with you."
This was what Liang Qiurun had Secretary Chen send over earlier, but Jiang Chenliang naturally couldn't eat that much by himself.
When she heard that her eldest daughter's family was not doing well, she thought about helping them.
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she did not object. She took the bones and went to Shen's house. When she arrived, the Shen family was braising the pig offal.
You can smell the fragrance even before you get far away.
That's absolutely amazing.
Jiang Meishu sniffed and followed the smell, and finally discovered that the fragrance came from the Shen family.
This made Jiang Meishu a little puzzled. She walked forward and knocked on the door, but it was actually a curtain hanging in front of the wooden door.
The wooden door was not closed, but when someone walked to the door, the door curtain moved first.
"Is anyone home?"
Jiang Meishu shouted.
As soon as the voice came in, Jiang Meilan ran out with a large iron spoon in her hand, "Meishu, you're here?"
His voice was a little surprised, and he pulled her into the house directly, "You're just in time, come and try the braised offal I made, how does it taste?"
Jiang Meishu likes Jiang Meilan's vitality, she never gives up.
Seeing her sister like this, Jiang Meishu couldn't help but laugh, "I can even smell the fragrance at the entrance of the compound."
Jiang Meilan blinked at her and said, "I knew you had a good nose."
He pulled her into the house. There was a small kitchen at the back of the main room. It was only the size of a palm, with a coal stove and one person standing in it. When the second person came in, he felt a little cramped and couldn't turn around.
When Jiang Meilan came out, Shen's mother was watching the fire inside. She greeted Jiang Meishu first, and then asked Jiang Meilan, "Xiao Jiang, do you think the fire is ready?"
Jiang Meilan held the aluminum pot lid. The moment the lid was opened, white mist rose and the fragrance came out.
The whole house was filled with the smell of marinade.
It smells so good.
Jiang Meishu took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good."
There is just a slight smell outside, but once you come in you will find that the smell inside the house is more overbearing.
"Smells good, doesn't it?"
Jiang Meilan used chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised large intestine for her and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
Looking at her with sparkling eyes.
Jiang Meishu felt a little embarrassed. This should be the first pot made by her sister, and her mother-in-law was standing next to her and watching.
If it was the Jiang Meishu from before, she would have eaten it without saying a word, but the current Jiang Meishu has experienced what happened at home.
After all, I am not as carefree as before.
Instead, I started to care about human relationships and worldly affairs.
She was afraid that after she ate it, her sister's mother-in-law would talk about her sister behind her back.
Jiang Meilan saw her expression and felt inexplicably distressed. "Why would you go to see your mother-in-law after eating?"
"Don't say that the source of my braised pig intestines was given by you. Even if it wasn't given by you, you can still eat it at will."
After saying this, Shen's mother nodded and said, "Yes, listen to your sister and treat it as coming to your own home."
Jiang Meishu then hummed softly as she bit the braised pig intestines. The intestines had been braised so much that they had absorbed the broth, but perhaps it was because they were not cooked enough.
The soup was not absorbed enough, so it didn't burst with juice when I took a bite.
But it tastes very good.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and savored the food carefully. "It tastes good, but it wasn't cooked long enough, so the juice from the large intestines wasn't fully absorbed. I need to simmer it longer."
Jiang Meilan carefully noted it down and said, "Try this rice noodle sausage. Is it tasty?"
Rice intestines are as thin as a thumb, so they should be easier to braise than large intestines.
Jiang Meishu tried the rice noodle intestines again. The braised rice noodle intestines absorbed the marinade and melted in the mouth, and also had a soft and powdery taste.
“This is delicious.”
"The rice noodle intestines are already braised. You can't braise them any further. If you continue, they will become overcooked."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Meilan used her chopsticks to pick up the rice noodle sausage from the bag without saying anything else.
Next, she picked out the pig liver, pig heart, and pig kidney, cut off a piece, and let Jiang Meishu taste it.
Jiang Meishu's tongue is really amazing. She only needs to taste a little bit to know whether it tastes good or not and where the flaws are.
"The liver has become powdery, pick it up immediately."
"The pig's heart isn't good enough. It's a bit hard and hard to chew."
"Pork kidneys are not good either, they seem to be over-braised."
"Cut some more for me, I'll try."
Jiang Meilan did as she was told, and Jiang Meishu took another bite, "It's indeed a bit old. Next time, remember to cook the pork kidneys for a shorter time."
Jiang Meilan sighed and took out a small notebook to write down the names one by one.
Mother Shen beside her stared in astonishment, "Is it so powerful?"
"As soon as they open their mouths, they know where the flaws of these things are."
Jiang Meilan put away the notebook and said with some pride, "In our family, Mei and Lan have the best tongues."
"If she says it's delicious, these things will definitely sell. If she says it's not delicious, then it's over."
Mother Shen saw the expressions of the two sisters, and she could see that her daughter-in-law had a really good relationship with her sisters.
She also laughed, "No wonder the Jiang family is known for raising a daughter. This is not something that ordinary people can do."
Jiang Meishu felt embarrassed by the compliment, and then she remembered why she came here. She put down the big bone in her hand and said, "Mom asked me to bring it here to nourish your body."
It was said to be a big bone, but there was still meat stuck on it and none of it had been removed.
Jiang Meilan was silent for a moment when she saw the large bone, but she accepted it and said, "Go back and thank Mom for me."
Her feelings towards Wang Limei have always been complicated.
In many cases, Wang Limei was a good mother, even in her previous life.
She was getting older day by day and had no children of her own.
The mother couldn't sleep every night, thinking about her future.
Her eldest daughter's future is uncertain: her husband is not close to her, her stepson is rebellious, and her mother-in-law dislikes her.
I haven't been able to give birth to a child of my own yet.
After all, it was she who pushed her eldest daughter into a wrong marriage.
When Wang Limei died.
It was obvious that the Jiang family was doing well at that time. Jiang Meilan was in the Liang family at that time, and she had no worries about food, clothing, or money.
The young girl Jiang Meishu married Chen Zhanlie, and Chen Zhanlie also became a wealthy and powerful man.
The youngest son is a top student and is making great progress.
Only the eldest son is a little mediocre, but he has worked in a meat processing factory all his life and also has a pension.
The Jiang family's material conditions improved before their very eyes.
Wang Limei didn't think about the blessing of the day and worried herself to death.
When she died, she held Jiang Meilan's hand and told her, "Meilan, you must give birth to a son or daughter no matter what."
"When I get old, I won't be left alone."
Jiang Meilan promised her, but she didn't do it.
Just like the big bone in front of her, it was obviously meant to nourish her father's body, but her mother still took out a part of it.
Bring it to her.
Jiang Meilan looked at the big bone. She knew the Jiang family's situation. When they were poor, they couldn't even have cornmeal porridge to drink, let alone a big bone.
Jiang Meishu asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Meilan said, "Mom is partial, but she's also pretty good to us."
"Meishu, let's just look at the good in people."
Even though Wang Limei didn't give her a single penny as a dowry.
She couldn't hate Wang Limei either.
This was the sharp Jiang Meilan's first attempt to seek peace.
It was also the first time that he spoke well of his mother to Jiang Meishu.
Because Jiang Meilan knew her sister's heart knot, so she said this.
This is the reconciliation between Jiang Meilan and Wang Limei.
A big bone of reconciliation.
Jiang Meilan is also teaching her sister that she hopes her sister will always be carefree and heartless.
Instead of like now, when you have to look at other people’s faces before eating a piece of pig intestine.
This is not her sister Jiang Meishu.
Her younger sister Jiang Meishu should have been born without worries.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Of course she knew how good her mother Wang Limei was, but the better the other person was, the higher her expectations would be.
Because of love, she doesn't want to mix anything else in.
But according to what my sister said, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Let me think about it."
Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Shen's mother next to them took the initiative to leave and went to visit the next door.
She is not at home.
Jiang Meilan had a lot to say, "Meishu, we can't be so serious with ourselves."
"If I keep getting too serious with myself, I won't be able to live like this."
Because she was too serious in her previous life, the longer she lived, the more she realized that very few people around her were truly sincere.
Like her mother Wang Limei, she could be treated well to her.
She felt that was enough.
This kind of thing is no longer common.
Why should she care about those three points?
After all the haggling, both sides ended up parting ways on bad terms. Why bother?
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips, her delicate face illuminated by the light from the window, glowing white, and even the fine hairs on her cheeks could be seen.
"I know, sister, I also know that mom is good."
She smiled, tears in her eyes, "But I don't know how to say it either."
Jiang Meishu clutched her chest and said, "I'm trying to think it through."
Not every mother is like her mother Yu Xiulian in her previous life.
There will also be mothers like Wang Limei.
Wang Limei is not bad either.
It's just that she has seen better mothers, so she has the comparison.
Jiang Meishu was also persuading herself to accept it.
This is about adapting to local customs and accepting yourself as you are now.
However, Jiang Meishu felt that it might not happen so soon. She was still too serious and too stubborn now, and perhaps she would need to get older.
Maybe then you will figure it out.
Jiang Meilan looked at her sister like this, raised her hand and rubbed her hair, "You don't have to think about it deliberately, just like me."
She held up the big bone and said, "You see, the moment I saw the big bone, I felt that my mother loved me too. It's not that bad."
"At least she will remember me. At least, she won't use me as a gift to marry her younger brother. At least, she will choose the most suitable marriage partner for me within her conditions."
"Meishu, in this life, we should turn a blind eye and live in confusion, so that we can live a good life."
In her previous life, she was too serious with Wang Limei.
So when Wang Limei died, he was still worried about her poor life.
She actually regretted that she shouldn't have been so harsh on her mother.
Jiang Meishu hummed softly and took out a large stack of gold from her pocket. "Mom, let me bring you your dowry. You give me one hundred and I give you one hundred."
"Let's not tell any of us."
Now Jiang Meilan knew.
She looked at the money for a long time without saying anything.
"Look, Mom's not bad either."
She smiled and comforted Jiang Meishu, "It's good too, we should be content."
Enlighten her all the time.
Jiang Meishu nodded, not wanting to continue the topic. Instead, she changed the subject, "Why did you think of making braised pig offal?"
Mention this.
Jiang Meilan felt a headache. "It's all because of poverty, don't you know?" She glanced around and said, "I only found out after I got married that Shen Zhanlie's family didn't have a penny in savings and even owed 63 yuan."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu was silent for a long time. She was at a loss for words. "Carefully selected?"
Jiang Meilan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You don't understand. Every time I open my eyes now, I feel like I'm in debt, but it's not that hard."
She smiled evilly, “I told your brother-in-law Shen Zhanlie that I owe him sixty-three yuan, and he owes me sixty-three times.”
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "Sixty-three times what?"
"Is that so?" Jiang Meilan raised her thumbs and clapped them together. "Still don't understand?"
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meilan thought it through and said, "I'll just treat this sixty-three yuan as the money I paid for whoring."
"Your brother-in-law's money is worth it to me."
There is a hint of spring in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
It can be seen that Jiang Meilan is very satisfied with her married life.
Jiang Meishu thought her sister was just being pretentious, "Don't you worry about the days of owing money?"
"I'm worried, but debts are debts, and going to bed is going to bed."
"Don't disturb each other."
"And I only owe sixty-three dollars. If I'm quick, I can pay it back in half a year. If I'm slow, I can pay it back in a year."
"But if I miss out on a gift like your brother-in-law's, it will be gone."
It can be seen that Jiang Meilan is very satisfied with Shen Zhanlie's body.
Jiang Meishu couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, "You are really open-minded."
"There's nothing you can do about it. Life goes on slowly." Jiang Meilan took a spoon and swirled the braising liquid in the steel pot.
"Where are you going to sell these?"
As far as she knew, it was not easy to do business nowadays, that was called speculation.
This is a difficult thing.
However, Jiang Meilan was never one to be stumped. "I plan to go to Zhengyangmen and join Aunt Zhang who sells sesame cakes."
Now, it was Jiang Meishu's turn to be shocked.
"Are you planning to do business in an upright manner?"
Jiang Meilan said, "Yeah, there are people doing business at Zhengyang Gate that morning anyway. If the red armbands come, I'll just run away."
"I'm willing to save face and not care about them."
Although speculation and profiteering have been severely cracked down on these days, people who have been running small businesses for decades are really not allowed to continue their business?
It's just done secretly.
At the critical moment, it depends on how fast you run.
Jiang Meishu disagreed, "The risk is too high."
Jiang Meilan was very calm, "There is always risk involved in making money."
"Let's not talk about me, what about you?"
"What did the Liang family say?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head. "Aunt said she went to visit the Liang family, but I don't know how the conversation went."
She is also waiting for news.
She had just finished speaking.
A voice came from outside, "Is Jiang Meilan here? Your mother is calling you to go back quickly."
Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan looked at each other and came out together.
"What's wrong?"
The person who came to bring the message was an aunt, "It seems someone has come to your house to discuss marriage."
As soon as these words fell.
Jiang Meishu hasn't reacted yet.
Jiang Meilan reacted immediately, took off her apron, and then remembered that the pig offal in the pot had not been braised yet, and immediately shouted outside, "Mom, Mom, Mom, please come back quickly and help me watch the pig offal in the pot."
"I'm going home."
When Shen's mother came out, Jiang Meilan had already disappeared with Jiang Meishu.
Mother Shen was left alone to pick up the apron on the ground, “No, I don’t know how to braise pig offal?”
Why are you so anxious?
*
Jiang family.
Liang's mother and second daughter-in-law Shen Mingying asked for directions and finally found Qudeng Hutong.
All the way here.
Liang's mother was frowning. Shen Mingying understood what her mother-in-law meant. "All the old alleys here are like this. Mom, you have been rich all your life, so naturally you have never seen this."
Liang's mother remained silent.
Shen Mingying, however, was holding the gift. She glanced around and said slowly, "I knew about the Jiang family's conditions before I introduced them to the blind date. Since Qiu Run agreed, it means he likes her."
"I don't mind if the conditions are worse, Qiu Run can afford it anyway."
Liang's mother said, "That's right."
"But, wouldn't it be bad if we just came here without telling Qiu Run?"
Shen Mingying, "I sent people to the office three times, but couldn't find Qiu Run."
"He said he was out for a meeting."
"We'll come over and help him solve it first. If there are any problems, we'll communicate when he comes back."
"That's okay too."
Anyone familiar with Liang's mother would know that she didn't have much of an opinion. After hearing what her second daughter-in-law said, she stopped thinking about it.
Following Shen Mingying inside, the further they walked, the more Liang's mother frowned, with an indescribable feeling.
"Xiao Jiang's life has been too hard."
She never had a daughter in her life. After giving birth to four sons, she couldn't have another one and never caught up with her daughter.
Therefore, she naturally sympathizes with girls more.
Shen Mingying nodded, picked up the malted milk, and jumped to avoid the black puddle under his feet. It had just rained, and the honeycomb coal must have been wet, as black water was everywhere.
There is no place to step.
Shen Mingying said, "It's not easy. Let's go and take a look later."
In this way, while asking for directions, I found the Jiang family.
Wang Limei was the only one at home in the Jiang family. She was a little surprised to hear that there was a visitor outside looking for her.
After coming out, I saw two strange but respectable lesbians.
She was stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"
Liang's mother didn't dare to deal with strangers. It could be said that if it weren't for her youngest son's marriage, she would never have come out.
Fortunately, Shen Mingying knew her mother-in-law's character.
She immediately stood up, handed the things forward, and introduced herself to Wang Lamei, "Aunt, this is my mother-in-law, Liang Qiurun's mother. I am Shen Mingying, Liang Qiurun's second sister-in-law."
"We've come today to ask what your family thinks about Qiu Run and Comrade Jiang getting married. Feel free to state any conditions you have."
Wang Limei looked at the things handed to her, she was still a little confused, "This is too sudden."
"We haven't prepared anything at home, please don't be disgusted."
After saying this, Wang Limei sent one of the neighbors to call Jiang Meishu back.
The other one went to invite Jiang Lamei back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she led the two guests into the house.
The Jiang family's house was only the size of a palm, and there was no room for them to move. Wang Limei felt increasingly uneasy, wondering if there were any good things at home that she could take out to entertain the guests.
After thinking for a long time, I remembered the last time Liang Qiurun asked Secretary Chen to apologize.
Gave two bags of sugar.
Wang Limei hurriedly took it out and made two cups of super sweet sugar water.
This is the highest standard for ordinary people to entertain guests.
Shen Mingying watched Wang Limei add sugar to a cup of boiled water with three spoonfuls of sugar in it, and her eyebrows began to twitch.
"That's enough, Auntie, we really can't let it go any longer."
If you put more, J won’t be able to drink it.
After she said this, Wang Limei stopped and handed the two glasses of water to Liang's mother and Shen Mingying with an embarrassed look on her face.
Shen Mingying must have noticed it too. After taking it with both hands, she said, "Aunt, don't be embarrassed. Today, only my mother and I are here to visit you. I just want you to feel less stressed."
"This is our first visit, and we just wanted to ask if the woman has any requirements. Feel free to ask if you have any."
"Also, I'd like to come over to discuss a date so that our two families can have a meal together and discuss the specific details."
She was humble.
After all, if you want to marry someone else's daughter, you naturally can't be arrogant.
What's more, her brother-in-law Liang Qiurun specifically asked her to come over to help, which clearly showed that he wanted to make this marriage happen.
Otherwise, it would not be her turn to come, but her sister-in-law Chen Hongjiao.
Shen Mingying was humble, which made Wang Limei less nervous.
Things are gradually getting better.
Outside.
When Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan came back, they happened to meet Jiang Lamei.
"Meishu, why are you here?"
"You didn't entertain the Liang family at home?"
After receiving the news, she immediately rushed back.
Jiang Meishu, "I just went to the Shen family."
Jiang Lamei was at a loss for words now. She murmured, "I had a meeting yesterday and didn't go to the Liang family, but the Liang family went to the Jiang family."
"It seems that Director Liang is very enthusiastic about marriage."
This is what adults do, inferring attitudes through some trivial details.
Of course, this is also Jiang Lamei's most outstanding skill, otherwise she would not have been able to rise from an ordinary person in the union to the position of union director.
When Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan heard her words, they exchanged glances and said nothing.
The group returned home.
Wang Limei breathed a sigh of relief. "The child's aunt is Meishu."
"You are finally back."
When it comes to treating people well, Wang Limei thinks she is much worse than her elder sister-in-law Jiang Lamei.
After all, one works in the company all year round, and the other stays at home all year round without working.
There is a difference, of course.
Jiang Lamei nodded at her, "Comrade Liang, who is this?"
Liang's mother and Shen Mingying's attention was not on her, but on Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan behind her.
After hearing Jiang Lamei's question, the two of them withdrew their gaze.
"Director Jiang, right?" Shen Mingying introduced herself. "I'm Liang Qiurun's second sister-in-law."
Jiang Lamei's mind raced through this. When she looked up again, her smile became even more genuine. "Comrade Shen, thank you for taking such a long trip."
"I wonder what the situation is like at the Liang family?"
Throw the question back again.
Shen Mingying was such a smart person that he immediately realized it. "It's our fault too. Qiu Run pushed us too hard, so we just went straight to her house."
"Director Jiang, I'm really sorry."
It was their side that made the mistake.
Jiang Meishu felt so bored.
They were all repeating the same thing over and over again. She went to look at Jiang Meilan, who clapped her hands, signaling that she was listening carefully.
In her previous life, she married Liang Qiurun, but Liang's mother never came to the Jiang family.
Not to mention Shen Mingying in the previous life. In the previous life, the last baton of the Liang family was taken over by Shen Mingying.
Shen Mingying is a capable, tactful person who is worldly-wise but kind.
She can come to the Jiang family in this life.
Does it mean that Liang Qiurun values his sister?
Thinking of this, Jiang Meilan became more calm. She went to see her sister, but she didn't expect that she was just fine.
It seems that everyone is not talking about her marriage.
But it's the same as an outsider's.
Jiang Meilan held her forehead and raised her hand to pinch her arm again.
Jiang Meishu felt a little pain and took a breath.
The two sisters' actions were observed by Liang's mother and Shen Mingying. "I wonder who Comrade Jiang Meilan is?"
These two lesbians look really alike.
This question.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan exchanged glances before she raised her hand and whispered, "I am."
This time, Liang's mother and Shen Mingying looked over at the same time.
There was a glint of surprise in the eyes of both of them. They finally understood why Qiu Run, who had always been picky and had high standards, not only succeeded in the blind date, but also urged them to come to his house.
It turns out that he is such a handsome person.
The other person was really good-looking, with picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and delicate and fair skin. She was wearing dark and loose clothes, but it couldn't hide her slim figure.
Never mind gay men.
Even these two female comrades were delighted by what they saw.
"Hey, Comrade Jiang, right?"
Shen Mingying took the lead and reached out to pull her, "That's really good."
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
He exchanged glances with Liang's mother, who also liked it.
However, she was not good at dealing with people. She just kept a straight face and didn't say anything, only showing a stiff smile.
Jiang Meishu felt a little embarrassed and smiled with her lips pursed.
"Since everyone is here."
Shen Mingying said, "Then we can set a date and the woman and man can meet each other. What do you think?"
Jiang Meishu naturally had no objection.
She didn't object.
Wang Limei and Jiang Lamei were the same. They were all eager for Jiang Meishu and Director Liang to succeed as soon as possible.
"but--"
Wang Limei said, "My husband hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. I was thinking, after he's discharged, would we all have a meal together?"

The Jiang family had no objection to this time.
Shen Mingying stood up and said, "Then it's settled."
"The day after tomorrow, November 1st, our two families will meet up for dinner at a state-owned restaurant? Let's agree on the wedding date and the betrothal gifts, etc."
"You guys can think about it these few days. If there's anything else you want to add, we can discuss it together then."

Wang Limei doesn't know anything.
Instead, Jiang Lamei stood up and said, "We can all do it. Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Shen Mingying nodded and said goodbye.
