Jiang Shushu looked at Li Qiuguo who looked calm, and had to admit that this woman was quite capable. Apart from anything else, her psychological quality was indeed good.
Jiang Shushu laughed. "Really? What did you talk about? What made Wen Chen think his family was extremely wealthy? Comrade Li, tell me about it. I'd love to know what's going on in this kid's head."
Jiang Mingli also walked in at this time and just heard Jiang Shushu's words, "What's wrong?"
"After chatting with Comrade Li, Wen Chen thought you were so wealthy that he could eat as much chicken and duck as he wanted in the brigade. I'm quite interested in this topic and am discussing it with Comrade Li. Let's see what this kid's mind is thinking."
Jiang Mingli: "..." If this brat thinks he can eat whatever chickens and ducks in the brigade are available, he probably won't go back with me until he finishes them all. This Li Qiuguo is incessant. He stirs up trouble just after I leave. Is he trying to force me to break up with him or what?
Jiang Mingli didn't say anything, turned to look at Li Qiuguo, waiting for her next words.
Li Qiuguo organized his words in his mind. "We didn't talk much, just some casual conversation. Wenchen said the breakfast was a bit simple. I saw that Wenchen was in a bad mood, so I wanted to comfort him. I said that my aunt was worried that they would get carsick, so she cooked a lighter breakfast.
Wenchen told me that we'd eaten all the meat at home, and his grandparents would only have two meals of meat a month. I was afraid Wenchen would feel guilty and worried about his grandparents, so I told him that the brigade had plenty of chickens and ducks, and when his father sent money back, his grandmother could use it to trade for meat, so there would be no shortage of meat at home. "What can they do to me? I've never said anything directly, and what does it have to do with me?"
After Li Qiuguo finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Mingli with some grievance, tears in his eyes. He looked so pitiful that people couldn't bear to blame him.
"Mingli, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have talked nonsense in front of the child and caused him to misunderstand." I am so sensible, so Jiang Mingli will definitely feel more guilty towards me.
Jiang Mingli's voice was gentle and apologetic. "It's not your fault. It's just that the child doesn't know better. Wenchen is a very greedy child. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Please go sit outside. We will clean up soon."
"Comrade Li, I was so worried that I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry!" If I don't care, then why should I, as an aunt, care?
"It's okay, it's okay." Bitch, you ruined my good thing, sooner or later I will make you pay. If it doesn't work this time, I will try next time, sooner or later I will get rid of these two annoying little bastards.
After Li Qiuguo left, Jiang Shushu looked Jiang Mingli up and down.
Being looked at like this by Jiang Shushu? Jiang Mingli felt uneasy, "Little sister, why are you looking at me like that? Are you going to scold me?"
"I didn't look at you carefully before, but when I suddenly looked at you today, I found that you are quite good-looking..."
Jiang Mingli smiled awkwardly. "Really? Thanks for the compliment." Why are you praising me all of a sudden? Are you planning to give me a sweet treat first, and then give me a blow?
I'm not praising you for anything. You interrupted me before I could even finish my words.
"No wonder some people are so eager to help. What's going on? A beautiful woman sheds tears, so pitiful, are you heartbroken? You only care about the process, not the result."
Sure enough, it was praised first and then criticized.
"What are you talking about, little sister? It's just social etiquette and etiquette. Like I said last night, my original intention won't change. What I want is a stable family." Whether Li Qiuguo did it intentionally or not, the process was unimportant. What mattered was the result. Because of Li Qiuguo's words, his son repeatedly wanted to stay, almost causing irreversible consequences for his family. Different paths lead to different plans. He and Li Qiuguo were destined to be separated.
"At least she's not completely clueless. Wenchen is just a five-year-old. Even if Li Qiuguo is being subtle, how subtle can she be? You'll understand this rhetoric once you hear it." I don't believe Li Qiuguo could be so cryptic and profound with a five-year-old who knows nothing. At most, he's using a childish tone and making jokes, speaking in plain language. A child wouldn't understand what he meant. Couldn't Jiang Mingli, a grown man, understand?
"I see."
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving." As long as I can protect the two children and don't come back to cause me trouble, that's all that's fine.
"Wenchen, if you have any questions, ask your dad more often. What others understand, your dad also understands, and what your dad understands, others may not understand." But please don't come back and cause trouble for me.
After Jiang Shushu left, Jiang Mingli wanted to take his two sons to ask them about it immediately, but he knew that now was not the time, so he had to endure it and wait until he got home in the evening to ask them.
"Wenchen, the chickens and ducks in the village are not ours. You can't eat them casually. The chickens and ducks in the village are mainly kept for laying eggs. If you try to exchange them with others, they may not necessarily exchange them, understand?"
"knew."
"Have you finished checking all your things?"
"The inspection is complete."
"Okay, we'll set off soon."
Jiang Mingli put all the clothes of the three of them together and put them on his back. Then he took the things given by Xu Hehua in his left hand and held Jiang Wenchen's hand with his right hand.
"Wenzhe, Daddy is carrying something in his hands, and your brother is still young. I'm holding his hand, and you hold his hand too. Don't let go, understand?"
"I know, Dad."
"Dad, Mom, little sister, brother-in-law, we're leaving first."
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, we are leaving."
Jiang Shushu and the other three went up to each of the two little ones and gave them a red envelope, then said goodbye to them.
Li Qiuguo was upset when she saw that she didn't get any red envelopes. "How could these two old guys be so ignorant? This is my first visit, shouldn't they give me a red envelope too?"
Li Qiuguo pretended to cough, trying to attract the attention of Jiang He and his wife and get them to give her a red envelope.
But Jiang He and his wife ignored her and pretended they saw nothing.
Jiang Shushu glanced at Li Qiuguo and found that her face was stiff for a moment, which made him feel funny.
What are you coughing for? I can't give you a red envelope even if you cough. Don't you see your status? You're just Jiang Mingli's neighbor and colleague. It's good enough that I've provided you with food and accommodation these days, yet you still want a red envelope? You're so flattering! Even if we have to give a red envelope, you should give it to us. You don't give a penny yourself, and yet you want to take the food with you.
Jiang Mingli and his group of four returned to the provincial capital. Jiang Mingli found an excuse to leave first and did not walk with Li Qiuguo.
After Jiang Mingli's family of three returned home, the Jiang Wenzhe brother, who had been patient and thinking all the way, immediately took out the red envelopes from their pockets and opened them.
Then the brothers opened their mouths wide and shouted, "I'm rich, I'm rich." Each of the brothers happily received a huge sum of 20 yuan.
