Jiang Mingli: "..." Do I dare to say there is a problem? Can I say there is a problem? If I say it's difficult and I won't give it to you for the time being, I guess you will have to come to my factory.
"No problem, even if I skip a meal every day, my parents' pension will not be reduced."
Jiang Shushu: “…” Do you think I don’t know how much your salary is?
"I know how much your salary is?" So stop showing off and stop playing the victim to me.
Jiang Mingli: "..." This sister and I are definitely not on good terms. Can we still chat? Do you have to be so blunt?
Jiang Mingli argued, "I only have one salary, and raising a child costs money."
"Your salary alone is equal to that of two people." It's good enough that I didn't ask you to increase it.
Jiang Mingli: "..." We can't continue chatting today. If we continue, he will probably ask me for a raise. Although my salary is high, I have to support three people now, plus I have my own expenses. I don't want to live a simple life every day.
"I have two children and the expenses are high. My parents are old and I won't cause them any trouble. I also want to take my parents to live with me, but I go to work every day and I can't take care of four people. By then, it will probably be my parents who will suffer, so I have to trouble my younger sister. I will send ten yuan every month on time. If I have more money, I will send more..." It's better for my parents to pay honestly! It's better to take care of two little ones than two old people and two children. Otherwise, don't even mention being a good woman in the future. Anyone with a normal mind will probably look down on me.
"Well, just keep your word." As expected of someone who could win a city girl with just his mouth, he's so good at talking, even better than singing. If I didn't have the task of supporting my parents, I'd have to fight back.
Jiang Mingli was relieved to see that Jiang Shushu didn't argue with him this time. "Okay."
As expected, women like to listen to nice things.
"Okay, I'm going for a run. You can do whatever you want." Jiang Shushu said and turned a corner to go to the park.
Jiang Mingli turned around and went back to find Jiang Wenzhe and his brother, asking them not to let anything slip and not to let Jiang He and his wife know about his divorce.
Jiang Shushu had just arrived at the park when he saw Yang Xiaobei.
"Did you wake up early today?" Every time I come to the park to run, I say I woke up early.
"Haha, I didn't wake up early today. I haven't seen you for two days. I came here because I missed you. Do you miss me?" Yang Xiaobei naturally pulled Jiang Shushu's hand.
Ever since Yang Xiaobei knew that Jiang Shushu would not refuse if he held her hand, he would never miss any opportunity to hold her hand. Even if there was no opportunity, he would create one.
"I've thought about it. Let's go for a walk together."
"alright."
The two walked hand in hand towards a small path with many trees. There were few people there, and even if there were, they were young couples. Holding hands here would not be criticized by the uncles and aunties. Of course, the uncles and aunties were also very honest. They knew that this corner was not welcome, so they usually did not go there for no reason.
Jiang Mingli, who had stayed for four days, gave Jiang He and his wife each a red envelope of 50 yuan before leaving. Jiang Shushu saw that the two little kids had been quite sensible in the past few days and Jiang Mingli had not caused her any trouble. Adhering to the principle of parting amicably, Jiang Shushu gave each of the two children a red envelope of two yuan and a bag of snacks.
Until Jiang Mingli left, Jiang He and his wife didn't know that he had divorced.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was May. Jiang He went to the hospital to remove the plaster. The doctors all praised Jiang He for his quick recovery.
After Jiang He removed the plaster, Jiang Shushu gave Jiang He a drop of Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk to strengthen his health.
After a few days, Jiang He was able to walk very fast. Once they recovered, they couldn't stay any longer. They said they hadn't been back to Jiangjia Village for more than three months and missed it very much, so they packed up their things and went back to Jiangjia Village. Jiang Shushu couldn't stop them.
As soon as Jiang He and his wife returned to Jiangjia Village, they were extremely busy because people came to visit them all the time. They were asked again and again about their three-month experience. Jiang He and his wife told the story at least seventy or eighty times, if not a hundred times.
Jiang Shushu was surprised to see Jiang He push the door open. "Dad, have you had breakfast?" Didn't you say you missed home so much? Why are you back after only three days? Did something happen at home?
"I've eaten, Shushu. Xiaocheng and Zhang Zhiqing are getting married on May 20th. Can you take a day off that day?"
"May 20th, six days from now, no problem, I'll be back then."
"When the time comes, ask Xiaobei if he's free. If he is, take him there. He's familiar with the people in Jiangjia Village, so he won't feel uncomfortable there."
"Okay, I'll ask him."
"Then I'll leave. I still have to help notify people." By the way, I'll write a letter to inform him of the ceremony. Whether he comes back or not is up to him.
"Okay, wait, Dad. Yesterday, a friend of mine exchanged a few pieces of red cloth with me. They are enough to make two sets of clothes. Consider them as gifts for Xiaocheng and the others. You can take them back to them." Jiang Shushu turned around and went back to the house, then took out six pieces of red cloth from the supply space, packed them in a bag, and then walked out of the room.
"Dad, here."
Jiang He took it and said, "This is a great gift. I heard from your mother that your eldest cousin's wife didn't want to let Zhang Zhiqing down, so she wanted to buy her some red cloth to make a dress. She has saved up all the cloth coupons, but there is no red for sale. Your eldest cousin's wife and the others will be very happy to see this cloth."
"As long as they like it."
…
After Jiang He returned home, he gave the cloth to Xu Hehua, who then gave it to Jinhua. Jinhua couldn't stop smiling when she saw the red cloth. Then Jinhua gave the cloth to Zhang Meihua and asked her to make two sets of clothes she liked.
Zhang Meihua knew that the red cloth was given by Jiang Shushu, and she was very grateful. When she came to the city to find a tailor to make clothes, she brought a basket of potatoes that the brigade had dug up a few days ago to visit Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Shushu heard a knock on the door and when he opened it he saw Zhang Meihua with a smile on her face.
"Hello, auntie. I brought you some potatoes that the brigade just distributed a few days ago. Thank you for the red cloth."
Jiang Shushu took the potato and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Red is a festive dress for a bride. Come in and sit down. I just finished making breakfast. Come in and have something to eat."
"No, no, aunt, I've already eaten, you can just eat." Zhang Meihua looked shy and happy. "Aunt, well, I still have to go to the tailor shop to make clothes for my wedding. I won't disturb you while you eat, I'll go and get busy first."
"Okay, go ahead. You're so pretty, and you'll look even better in a red wedding dress."
"Haha...thank you for the compliment, aunt."
In the past, one could see in Zhang Meihua a sense of self-denial, dissatisfaction with life, and a sense of worldly injustice… but now, that’s gone. Zhang Meihua has become much calmer, and even her facial features have changed. She looks so comfortable and blessed, and indeed, happy people are never ugly.
