Chapter 92
As soon as Lin Qiaoling finished speaking, everyone at the table looked over.
For some reason, Jiang Meilan had a bad guess in her mind and she stood up immediately.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"
Lin Qiaoling glanced at Jiang Meilan and said in a calm voice, "I'm not looking for you. I want to talk to Director Liang about a secret."
Now, it was Jiang Meishu's turn to be alert.
What secrets do Lin Qiaoling and Liang Qiurun have to share?
The only secret she knew was that she and her sister had swapped identities and she married in the other's place.
Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu could no longer sit still.
However, Jiang Meilan was much calmer than her. She strode over to Lin Qiaoling and grabbed her hand without hesitation, staring at her intently. "Sister-in-law, my life is going to be miserable, and neither are yours."
Although the tone was calm, Lin Qiaoling felt panicked. "What do you mean?"
“That’s what it means.”
Jiang Meilan said calmly, "If you don't let me live, I won't let you live either."
She lowered her voice to a whisper, and seeing a flicker of fear in Lin Qiaoling's eyes, she turned back nonchalantly and said calmly to Liang Qiurun, Jiang Meishu, and Wang Limei, "My sister-in-law and I had some dirty dealings in the past. She's trying to use those dirty deeds to drive a wedge between us.
"Director Liang, if you don't mind, I'd like to go out and talk to her?"
Although Liang Qiurun was a little suspicious, he couldn't help but have a bad impression of Lin Qiaoling.
This is a sophisticated and greedy person.
He didn't like to focus his attention on irrelevant people, so in response to Jiang Meilan's words, he just nodded and said, "Do whatever you want."
He was just a son-in-law who accompanied his lover to visit relatives and friends, and he was not interested in the private affairs of his lover's family.
"Director Liang!"
Lin Qiaoli raised her voice a few notches, "What I want to say——"
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Meilan raised her hand and placed it on her waist. In front of Liang Qiurun, she said, "Sister-in-law, do you really want to tear each other apart and let Director Liang laugh at you?"
"Even if sister-in-law doesn't care about us, she should care about brother."
Anger flashed in Lin Qiaoling's eyes. "He is your elder brother."
"I'm still his sister. Does he treat me as his own sister?"
Hearing this, Liang Qiurun knew that this was a family dispute. He only took a few bites and then raised his wrist to check the time. "Mom, Xiao Jiang, it's time for me to leave. I'm leaving first."
"I'm not home these few days. If Xiao Jiang feels too bored at home, she can stay at her parents' house for a few more days."
Jiang Meishu nodded, and so did Wang Limei.
They all wished Liang Qiurun would leave immediately.
After all, what Lin Qiaoling wanted to say concerned the secrets of their family.
Wang Limei immediately said to Jiang Meishu, "Since Qiurun doesn't want to eat anymore, then you go and see him off."
Jiang Meishu understood what her mother meant and nodded, "I'll go right away."
After Jiang Meishu sent Liang Qiurun away.
The Jiang family's house suddenly became quiet.
Wang Limei even went out to check again. When she was sure Liang Qiurun wouldn't come back suddenly, she walked towards Lin Qiaoling and suddenly raised her hand to slap her. "You want to kill everyone in our family, don't you?"
The slap was so fierce and decisive that Lin Qiaoling didn't even have time to react before she saw stars.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Mom, I'm going to kill you, not me and Dali."
She and Jiang Dali have now separated from the Jiang family.
If she revealed this secret, the Jiang family's good days would be over.
Hearing this, Jiang Meilan smiled coldly, "When the nest is overturned, no one will be left unharmed. Do you think that just because we are in trouble, you and Jiang Dali will be able to live a good life?"
"Have you forgotten? Jiang Dali still works in the canteen of the meat processing plant?"
"The Jiang family has offended Liang Qiurun, and Meishu and I have offended Liang Qiurun. I don't know what the outcome will be for me, but you can see how much Liang Qiurun cares about Meishu."
"I think when the time comes for all to happen, it will be easy for Meishu to slander Jiang Dali to Liang Qiurun and have him fired."
"You dare!" Upon hearing this, Lin Qiaoling's eyes were bloodshot. She growled and almost went up to fight Jiang Meilan to the death.
After all, a job these days is like a golden rice bowl. Whoever has one will cherish it and work hard, hoping that the job can be passed down to three generations.
Lin Qiaoling also planned to give the job to their only son after Jiang Dali retired from the meat processing plant.
Now, Jiang Meilan's words have destroyed their family's only golden rice bowl.
Jiang Meilan refused to budge. Far from being afraid, she took a step closer and said calmly to Lin Qiaoling, "Do you think I dare?"
"Lin Qiaoling, if you dare to destroy Meishu and me, I will dare to destroy you and Jiang Dali. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Your job isn't legitimate. If things really come to a head, I don't mind going to the Lin family to stir up trouble and leave you homeless. Lin Qiaoling, you also have a sister-in-law. Tell me, if your sister-in-law knew you stole her job back then, would she still allow you to continue working in peace?"
Now, Lin Qiaoling was really panicked. She didn't expect that such a secret matter as her dowry job would be known by her sister-in-law Jiang Meilan.
She said sternly, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Jiang Meilan took a step closer and straightened her collar. She had just cooked and her hands had touched cold water. It was winter, so her fingers were icy cold. When she touched Lin Qiaoling's neck, she subconsciously shrank back, feeling as if she had touched a cold poisonous snake.
"You know."
Jiang Meilan looked up at her, her eyes cold and indifferent, with a bit of determination to fight to the death, "Lin Qiaoling, behave yourself. It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone."
"If you don't behave yourself, no one will survive!"
When she said the last few words, Jiang Meilan's tone suddenly became sharp, which was quite different from the virtuous and gentle Jiang Meilan in her daily life.
Lin Qiaoling was frightened by her and stood there, not daring to move.
Jiang Meilan pinched her face nonchalantly. "My dear sister-in-law, I know you're a very attentive and thoughtful person. I don't care where Liang Qiurun and Shen Zhanlie got the news from. I'll always blame you for this."
"So, sister-in-law, please be quiet, okay?"
The tone was still gentle, but it gave Lin Qiaoling goose bumps all over her body, "You are not Jiang Meilan."
When she got married, Jiang Meilan was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was a shy girl who blushed when she spoke.
But the person in front of her was completely different from the Jiang Meilan she had in mind.
Jiang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth, "My dear sister-in-law, are you confused? I am Jiang Meishu."
"Yes or no?"
How should Lin Qiaoling respond to this?
She just found an excuse and left in a panic.
If she had known that she would be intimidated and leave in disgrace after all her scheming, she would not have done such a thing.
After Lin Qiaoling left.
The smile on Jiang Meilan's face suddenly disappeared.
"Meilan, what did you say?"
Wang Limei immediately came over and asked her.
Jiang Meilan watched Lin Qiaoling's back as if she were following him closely. "I scared her now, but I don't know what will happen in the future."
"What should we do?" Wang Limei said worriedly, "What if she really told Director Liang?"
"She won't."
Jiang Meilan said decisively, "At least not now."
"As long as my eldest brother is still working in the canteen of the meat processing factory, she won't dare to expose herself. I made it very clear before. Lin Qiaoling is a smart person. She won't gamble."
"But my eldest brother doesn't know." She was a little worried. "If she told my eldest brother about this, with Jiang Dali's reckless nature, who knows what he would do."
"What should we do then?"
He knew his own son well; he was a man of bad temper.
Jiang Meilan also shook her head. "I don't know yet. I can only take it one step at a time."
"I know."
Jiang Meishu didn't know when she came back. She stood at the door and suddenly said.
"Do you have a solution?"
Wang Limei was a little surprised.
Jiang Meishu nodded, raised her slender white hand, and lifted the door curtain. There was a crisp sound, which also covered up the words she had just said.
“Actually, there is a very simple way.”
"What?"
Jiang Meilan and Wang Limei both looked over.
Jiang Meishu lowered her soft eyebrows and whispered, "That is to make Shen Zhanlie fall in love with my sister, and let Director Liang fall in love with me too."
"If my sister gives birth to a child and I give birth to a child, when the matter is settled and we both have feelings for each other, the consequences of the deception being revealed will be less severe."
It's just that this behavior is too despicable.
This is also something Jiang Meishu has never been willing to do.
But now, they have no choice.
Lin Qiaoling is like a time bomb. When both sides are on good terms, this bomb will naturally not explode. But now that both sides have torn their faces apart, this means that for Lin Qiaoling, this bomb can explode at any time.
And it will hurt them.
"It seems that the only way is what Meishu said."
Jiang Meilan murmured, "Once we tell a lie, we'll have to tell countless lies to cover it up. Unless we have enough leverage, we'll capsize at any time."
She had been using contraception before, not wanting her child to be born into a family that was too poor, but now she saw that there was nothing she could do.
Only by having a child can she be used as a bargaining chip.
But she can do this, what about her sister?
My sister married Liang Qiurun, but Liang Qiurun is impotent. How will she get through this?
Noticing Jiang Meilan's worried look, Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said, "Everything depends on human effort. I don't believe that if I don't give birth to a child, I won't be able to get Liang Qiurun."
If she had previously treated Liang Qiurun with the mentality that everything would be fine after getting married.
Now there is a bit more urgency.
She wanted to capture Liang Qiurun before her sister-in-law Lin Qiaoli told the truth.
But how to get it is worth studying.
*
After Liang Qiurun went on a business trip, Liang Rui did not come back either.
Jiang Meishu lived alone in the 800-square-meter house for three days. Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall again, and the heavy snow lasted for a week.
The temperature also dropped by seven or eight degrees.
The temperature, which was originally above zero, dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius, where water freezes into ice.
For Jiang Meishu, who was a southerner in her previous life, this was like the sky falling.
She had never been so cold before, and this was because the Liang family was well-off. They had not only a charcoal basin but also a coal stove, which they took turns burning all day long.
Within two or three days, the Liang family ran out of coal.
Comrade Wang found Jiang Meishu and said, "Comrade Jiang, we don't have much coal at home."
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "Don't you usually stockpile coal?"
Even ordinary families like the Jiang family would stock up on honeycomb coal in advance.
"some."
Comrade Wang said, "But it's too cold today, and coal is used in many places. Moreover, the Liang family also has a boiler. If we want to have hot water all day long, the boiler needs to be burning all the time. In the past, when it wasn't so cold, 30 pieces of coal a day were enough. But now it's so cold, the boiler is hard to burn, and the coal consumption has at least doubled."
"If this continues, the coal we previously stockpiled will be stretched to its limit."
This is a fact.
Jiang Meishu was wrapped in a big blanket, watching TV by the fire. When she heard this, her expression became more serious and she turned off the TV.
"How did we deal with honeycomb coal in the past when we didn't have it at home?"
Comrade Wang thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Liang took care of it. He went to find someone and asked them to send a truckload of honeycomb coal."
"But because of the non-stop snow, everyone is rushing to buy honeycomb briquettes. Mr. Li, who used to deliver honeycomb briquettes, hasn't come here yet."
"Based on the amount of honeycomb coal the Liang family has currently stockpiled, it will run out in three or four days at most."
In the past, such matters were always resolved by asking Liang Qiurun, but now Liang Qiurun is on a business trip and Liang Rui has not returned yet.
The only hostess is Jiang Meishu.
Comrade Wang naturally had to ask her to solve the problem.
Jiang Meishu tightened the blanket around her body and said, "I'll go think of a solution. Home..."
She thought for a moment. "Until I find a solution, the boiler will be temporarily shut down."
She asked why the Liang family had hot water all day long. It turned out that they used a boiler, which was extremely wasteful.
A normal family can cook and live with three pieces of coal a day.
But the Liang family charges thirty yuan a day, and that’s the minimum. In such extremely cold weather, thirty yuan might not be enough, and it would have to be fifty yuan or more.
When Comrade Wang heard this, she felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Meishu raised her eyes and asked her. Her eyebrows and eyes were particularly soft, and her skin was fair. The way she asked so gently was not only not intimidating, but also had a bit of amiability.
This made Comrade Wang less nervous.
"The Liang family's boiler has been running non-stop since Director Liang moved in. Director Liang is a clean freak and takes a bath every day. If the boiler is turned off, there will be no hot water at home. If Director Liang comes back and wants to take a bath..."
When there is no hot water, she is afraid that Director Liang will hold her accountable and think she has failed in her job.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said gently, "I'll tell him about this."
"Comrade Wang, the heavy snow has caused us to run low on coal. Let's focus on eating and drinking water first. Everything else can be put aside for now."
Things have their priorities, and Jiang Meishu still knows how to distinguish them in this matter.
Perhaps she was too gentle and too calm, which made Comrade Wang feel a little relieved. "Then I'll do as you say."
Jiang Meishu nodded, wrapped in a blanket and looked at the heavy snow outside the window. She was wondering how to get coal.
She had a calm expression and sat upright with a graceful demeanor.
This made Comrade Wang, who had already left, couldn't help but look back. She thought that a jade-like person like Director Liang should be paired with a crystal-like person like Comrade Jiang.
Jiang Meishu didn't sit at home for long before she changed into a cotton-padded jacket for traveling, which Liang Qiurun asked Uncle Lin to make for her.
It may look insignificant, but this cotton-padded jacket uses eight taels of cotton and is extremely warm.
She wore a cotton jacket inside, but she was afraid of the cold, so she put on a coat outside, a scarf and a hat.
After finishing the full armor, he took out a large black umbrella from behind the door.
Jiang Meishu then left the house. Now that she was married to Liang Qiurun, she naturally had to support the family when Liang Qiurun was not at home.
However, what made Jiang Meishu worried was that Liang Rui was also out on the day Liang Qiurun was on a business trip.
If you count the days, he hasn't been back for eight days.
I don’t know where the child went?
Liang Rui’s problem cannot be solved in a short time, but the coal problem is imminent.
When there was no movement on He Qiu Sheng's coal, Jiang Meishu chose to seek help from her wonderful mother-in-law as soon as possible.
When Jiang Meishu came to the Liang family, Liang's mother was also in a meeting with the family. "We don't know when this heavy snow will stop. Every household should use honeycomb coal sparingly. The honeycomb coal outside is almost sold out. If we don't save some, I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat hot meals."
No one expected that the snowstorm in the capital would last for five days.
Chen Hongjiao was still a little unhappy, "Mom, if we go to the province anymore, we'll freeze to death."
Each bedroom has a honeycomb coal stove, which is convenient for boiling water and also for making fire, just like a charcoal basin. This has been a common practice in previous years.
Who can stand this sudden change?
Liang's mother glanced at her and said, "Since you think it's cold, then go ahead and heat it up. It's up to you whether you want to eat a hot meal or keep the fire going."
Chen Hongjiao immediately fell silent.
She could still tell the difference between being hungry and being cold, and which was more serious.
Even if you are cold, you can still crawl into bed. But if you are hungry, that would be a problem.
Outside.
Jiang Meishu didn't expect that she would come here to ask for help. After hearing such a conversation, she frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you here?"
It was Liang's mother who first discovered her.
Jiang Meishu walked towards Liang's mother. The snow in the courtyard had just been cleared, but the snow was a little too heavy.
So soon it was full again.
Jiang Meishu stepped on it, and the cowhide soles of her small leather boots rubbed against the snow, making a squeaking sound.
"Mother."
Jiang Meishu called out, and seeing that Liang's mother was a little worried, she thought for a moment and said, "I came here because of the coal issue."
"Isn't there enough at home?"
Liang's mother asked with a frown.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Yes, but according to Comrade Wang, it won't last more than three days."
this--
Liang's mother didn't hesitate at all. "Wait a minute, I'll ask your second brother to give you a hundred pieces of honeycomb coal to use first."
As soon as these words fell, Chen Hongjiao became somewhat dissatisfied. She frowned and said, "Mom, you just cut our honeycomb coal quota. We can't even warm ourselves by the fire in the bedroom. And you turned around and gave a hundred pieces of coal to Qiu Run's wife. Isn't this too biased?"
Chen Hong was delicate and beautiful, with a pair of long crescent eyebrows. When she frowned like this, she should have made people feel pity for her, but because she had a bad temper for many years, there was a hint of hostility between her brows.
Liang's mother was used to her eldest daughter-in-law's temper. She looked up and said slowly, "I asked someone to order the honeycomb coal. I can give it to whoever I want. It's none of your business."
After these words were spoken, Chen Hongjiao grumbled, but after all, she was relying on her mother-in-law for support, so she didn't dare to do it again.
"I'll have someone send it to you right away."
Liang's mother didn't care what Chen Hongjiao's expression was and just made arrangements. She wasn't usually like this, but her youngest son Liang Qiurun had asked her to take good care of Xiao Jiang before he went on a business trip.
Since she had promised her youngest son, she naturally had to do what she said.
I can't let Xiao Jiang marry me and starve and freeze at home without even a piece of honeycomb coal.
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "Mom, since there's not enough here, please don't send it to me for now."
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the home part."
"What can you do?"
Liang's mother frowned.
Jiang Meishu smiled gently, "I turned off the boiler at home, and I'm the only one at home, so I don't need much coal."
Liang's mother was stunned. "Why are you alone? Where's Liang Rui?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head. "The day his father went on a business trip, Liang Rui ran away with him. He hasn't come back for eight days. I don't know where he is now."
Upon hearing this, Liang's mother frowned immediately, "This Liang Rui is in such a heavy snow, I'm afraid he will suffer a snowstorm. Where can he go?"
Jiang Meishu didn't know either.
"Is there any place he used to go? Should I go look for him?"
She had actually asked Jiang Nanfang to look for him, but Jiang Nanfang didn't know either, and there was no news about Liang Rui from the school.
"You won't find it."
Liang's mother said firmly, "Forget it, leave him alone. This child has been wild since he was young. He often goes out for ten days or half a month. Qiu Run is used to it, and you should get used to it too."
"Let's solve the coal issue first. As for Liang Rui, if he can't make it out there, he can come back."
Jiang Meishu nodded and said, "I'm going out to think of a way to see if I can get some coal back."
Chen Hongjiao curled her lips when she heard this, thinking, even though her mother-in-law has such a wide network of contacts and a lot of money, she can't get coal, how can Jiang Meishu get it back?
Isn't this bragging?
Jiang Meishu didn't explain either. She and Chen Hongjiao were not the same kind of people, and there wasn't much they could talk about.
She said goodbye and said, "Mother, I'm going to the department store to ask my second sister-in-law if she has any coal to sell."
Liang's mother shook her head subconsciously, "She doesn't have that either."
Jiang Meishu went there not only to ask the other party, but also to ask other things, so she said, "Who knows, I'll go over and ask and find out."
"Then I'll ask someone to take you there." Liang's mother stood up.
Jiang Meishu said, "No, I'll take the bus back. It's snowing so heavily outside, so the bus will be more convenient."
The snow was so heavy that there were no bicycles on the road.
Jiang Meishu naturally wouldn't let Liang's mother get into trouble by helping her.
She took a big black umbrella, opened it and walked in the courtyard of the Liang family. Liang's mother wanted to come out to see her off, but Jiang Meishu didn't let her. After all, she was old, and Liang's mother felt sorry for her, and she also felt sorry for Liang's mother.
After the heavy snow, there were few pedestrians on the road, and even fewer buses.
Jiang Meishu was holding a big black umbrella, and soon a thick layer of snow fell on the umbrella. She looked at the low house and raised her hand to take it. The biting cold made her subconsciously retract her hand.
She looked at the falling snow and murmured, "Lao Liang, I didn't feel anything was good when you were here."
"When you're not around, everything feels wrong."
The family ran out of coal and asked her to come.
There is no car to go out.
Jiang Meishu looked at the half-covered boots and thought to herself that she had been spoiled by Liang Qiurun.
Obviously, what was a common thing for others seemed a bit difficult for her.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car finally arrived.
Because of the heavy snow, no one rode bicycles out, and basically everyone outside took the bus. Jiang Meishu spent 20 cents to buy a ticket.
Went to the department store.
When she got off the bus, the temperature was clearly below zero, but she was sweating profusely. The so-called can of sardines was probably no more than this.
However, they finally arrived at the department store, and Jiang Meishu went to the second floor, the purchasing department's office, as if she was familiar with the place.
Shen Mingying was angry with someone.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised. It seemed that every time she came to see Shen Mingying, the other party was angry. She waited quietly at the door for a long time.
Shen Mingying finally noticed her and immediately said to the people around him, "Alright, go down and tell Manager Chen that even if he stripped me of my flesh, I wouldn't be able to get him any coal. Tell Lao Luo the same thing."
"I, Shen Mingying, don't have this ability. Let them find someone else."
After driving away the annoying people, Shen Mingying pinched her brows and went out to pick up Jiang Meishu, "Why are you here?"
"How did you get here in such heavy snow?"
The snow was so heavy that even with a black umbrella, some snowflakes still fell on my body. Once I entered the office where the temperature was slightly higher, they quickly melted away.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "I came here by bus."
"You're really not afraid of the cold." Shen Mingying touched her hand and found it was surprisingly warm.
Jiang Meishu said, "There were so many people on the bus, it was so crowded that I broke out in a sweat."
Shen Mingying touched her fair face and sighed, "Are you here to ask about coal?"
Jiang Meishu nodded.
"I don't have any here either."
"I'm not asking about that. I just want to ask He Qiusheng if he has contacted you individually."
She also knew that Shen Mingying had no coal, otherwise, Liang's mother would not have asked everyone to save.
As long as Shen Mingying can get some, Liang's mother will not let anyone save it.
Shen Mingying knew what she meant and shook her head, "No."
"It was the day before your wedding when the other party gave the news, and there has been no contact since then."
Jiang Meishu heard this and murmured, "Could something have happened to He Qiusheng? Otherwise, considering the distance from Shaanxi Province to the capital, it shouldn't have taken ten days to arrive."
How would Shen Mingying know this? She shook her head.
Seeing that she had no news, Jiang Meishu said goodbye, "Second sister-in-law, I'll leave first and ask at my parents' home."
“It’s snowing so heavily.”
Shen Mingying was a little worried.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said softly, "It's okay, I can take the bus there, it's not difficult."
It just costs some money, but people can suffer less.
Shen Mingying wanted to say something, but Jiang Meishu had already gone downstairs, so she could only follow her and see her off. "Xiao Jiang, you don't have to work so hard. Qiu Run's salary is high, and he can support you."
Jiang Meishu knew she had misunderstood, so she smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm not fighting for money, but because my family is running out of coal. I just wanted to ask He Qiusheng if his 20,000 tons of coal could be delivered. Our difficulties will be solved."
She is not so diligent just for the sake of making money.
She went out even in the heavy snow, mainly because her family was running out of coal. Liang Qiurun was gone, and she had to support the family.
Seeing her say this.
Shen Mingying's expression was a little complicated. "Qiu Run is not at home, and you have suffered a lot."
It’s not Jiang Meishu’s turn to worry about these things going forward.
Jiang Meishu didn't take it seriously. "I'm just running errands. How can that be considered hardship? I can't compare to Lao Liang's stressful job outside."
All she could say was that after marrying Liang Qiurun, she found that her personality had become softer and she had become more considerate.
When she said this, Shen Mingying sighed, "Qiu Run is lucky to marry you."
Jiang Meishu smiled and waved to let the other person go back. Just then the bus arrived, so she got on it.
There are many people on the bus.
There are so many people. Because it snows, no one can ride bicycles, so they all rush to take the bus.
Several times, Jiang Meishu was almost pushed down, but fortunately she was pushed back by others.
She also said that she actually met a good person while riding in the car.
However, when I looked up, I saw someone who looked particularly familiar.
Lu Zhiyuan.
When Jiang Meishu suddenly saw her, she looked a little dazed. She hadn't seen her since the incident in the hospital.
That's not right. She had argued with the other party in the finance department of the meat processing plant.
But, it has actually been a month.
"Section Chief Lu."
Jiang Meishu greeted him.
Lu Zhiyuan nodded. He was tall, so he held the suspended iron bar with one hand and made space with the other hand to protect Jiang Meishu so that she would not be bumped by the crowd.
Jiang Meishu was not unaware of it, but she really couldn't move, neither forward nor backward.
She could only half-lean in Lu Zhiyuan's arms awkwardly.
Actually not.
However, from Lu Zhiyuan's angle, when he looked down, Jiang Meishu was snuggled in his arms, and the two seemed to be hugging each other.
Think of this.
Lu Zhiyuan pursed his lips. He could move away, but for some reason, he didn't want to.
However, his eyes were staring blankly at the top of Jiang Meishu's head.
Her hair was very black and thick, like satin, and very beautiful.
Just when Lu Zhiyuan was daydreaming.
When Jiang Meishu arrived at the place, she thought about it and realized that Lu Zhiyuan had helped her all the way. She then thanked him, "Chief Lu, thank you."
"I'm here. Bye."
She thought Lu Zhiyuan would answer, but unexpectedly, he just glanced at her and then looked away.
This made Jiang Meishu feel a little embarrassed, and she took advantage of the crowd to get off the car.
She even rubbed her burning ears and asked, "Why are you being so mean? Why are you saying hello to him?"
And in the car.
After she left, Lu Zhiyuan still maintained the same posture as before, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in his arms.
Very refreshing.
Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and held his breath.
He told himself.
Comrade Jiang is already married, and this is not something he can dream of.
But his arms smelled so good.
*
Jiang Meishu returned home and was about to go look for Jiang Meilan, but she didn't expect that Jiang Meilan was actually at her parents' home.
"How many pieces of coal are left at home?"
"Thirteen yuan." Wang Limei remembered it clearly. "If you use it sparingly, it can last for four days. If you don't, it might be gone in two days."
When Jiang Meilan heard this, she couldn't sit still any longer, "The Shen family only has about ten yuan left."
There was a heavy snowstorm, and it continued for several days. The coal seller no longer came to deliver the goods.
As for the coal station, it closed early due to lack of supply.
"We can't go on like this. If we continue like this, I'm afraid people will freeze to death."
Jiang Meilan stood up and said, "I'll think of a solution."
"I'm going to find Meishu."
Ask why He Qiu Sheng hasn’t come yet?
"Don't look for me, I'm back." Jiang Meishu returned to the Jiang family, shook off the fallen snow on her body, and took off her scarf, revealing only an overly fair and beautiful face.
"I haven't been able to contact He Qiusheng either. I also went to Shen Ersao's place, but she didn't contact her either."
Things seem to have reached a stalemate.
Everyone was a little embarrassed.
"If this continues, we won't even have a hot meal." Wang Limei thought subconsciously, "What's going on with coal this year? Why is it so scarce?"
This problem has never occurred in previous years.
Jiang Meishu murmured, "If only Lao Liang were here."
With Liang Qiurun here, these will not be a problem.
"Is anyone from the Jiang family here?"
There was a knock on the door. "A young man is here to bring you some coal."
