Chapter 71 Jiang Xiangxi is back
Shen Qing was counting the silver in her hand and thinking that a donkey was nothing to her at the moment, when she heard shouting coming from outside.
"Aunt Zhou, who are you looking for? I'm calling someone out. Let's talk outside if you have anything to say. It's not convenient to enter the yard."
"Hey, do you know what my relationship with Shen Qing is? We used to be so close that she often brought me food! There were just some misunderstandings in the middle, and now I come to her in person, and you dare to stop me?"
Zhou Chuncao's voice came in rudely.
Shen Qing frowned. What was she doing here?
"I'm sorry, Aunt Zhou, I really can't enter the yard recently. Please wait, I'll call Auntie out to see you."
"There are so many married and unmarried men in the Jiang family, and you, an unmarried girl, stay with the men every day. How dare you stop me?! Who the hell do you think you are!"
Shen Qing recognized Guan Li's voice and knew that her temper could stop Zhou Chuncao, so he was not in a hurry to come out. Hearing these obviously insulting words, he stood up and ran out in his cloth shoes.
Unmarried girls are very shy, and after hearing what Zhou Chuncao said, Guan Li would surely be so angry that she would cry!
Guan Li looked at Zhou Chuncao's arrogant face and spoke in a crisp and clear voice: "I don't know who I am, but you are not even a scallion!
You also know that I can stay at my aunt's house every day, but you can't even step into the yard gate. Tell me, do I have the right to stop you?
One cannot grow older without gaining more perspective. If I were your age, I would definitely know where I can enter and where I cannot enter before others try to stop me. I would not argue with a junior after being stopped. That would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?
Oh, and you don't have much to lose, no wonder you're so shameless."
Zhou Chuncao was stunned, and Shen Qing, who rushed out of the house, was also stunned.
The former is angry, while the latter is admiring.
This child is really stable at heart and won't deny himself just because of other people's verbal attacks.
Jiang Shui and Guan Xiaoshan in the yard burst out laughing.
Guan Xiaoshan blushed and said, "My sister is just like that."
Jiang Shui continued: "That's the best personality! I won't be bullied."
Guan Xiaoshan's chest unconsciously straightened out, and he hummed inaudibly.
Zhou Chuncao pointed at Guan Li's face and angrily said "you you you"
Guan Liyun said calmly, "Aunt Zhou, we all live in the same village. Don't assume others don't know your thoughts. A person may not have anything else, but he must have backbone, right?"
Even though Aunt Jiang was not nice to other people, she was really nice to Zhou Chuncao and Sun Xiaomai, but she just ignored them and looked down on them.
Now that their aunt had changed and didn't come closer, the two of them felt uncomfortable and came closer again.
It's simply because he sees that his aunt is making money now, so he wants to take advantage of her and get some benefits.
With her around, she wouldn't be allowed to go in and disturb her aunt.
"It's better that I have no spine than that you have no shame!" Zhou Chuncao reacted and said with his neck stiff.
Shen Qing looked at Zhou Chuncao coldly and said loudly: "What shame is there? The betrothal gifts have been prepared long ago. Isn't it that Xiangxi hasn't come back yet? As soon as Xiangxi comes back, we will pick a double date to send the betrothal gifts to the Guan family.
But whether she's sent or not, I already consider Ali my second daughter-in-law, and everyone in the Jiang family treats her as a member of the Jiang family. Speaking of which, both the Jiang and Guan families have no objection to this, yet you, an outsider, come in and say it's not allowed. Aren't you meddling a little too much?"
Zhou Chuncao originally thought that Shen Qing was just angry that she ignored her before, but today she came in person and gave Shen Qing a way out. Shen Qing must be so moved that she burst into tears and returned to her original state of clinging to her to please her.
Unexpectedly, she came in person. Not only did Shen Qing not come out to greet her, but she was stopped outside the yard gate and couldn't even enter the yard. When Shen Qing saw her, he didn't criticize Guan Li, but instead said that she was an outsider?
In the past, Shen Qing said that she was her best friend!
Yes, it must be because I hurt her feelings by saying that she hooked up with a strange man, and she is still angry now.
You are as petty as ever.
"Okay, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have said you were looking for a strange man. At that time, I didn't know you made money by making brushes. But after so long, you should have calmed down."
Shen Qing: .....Who are you? When did we become so familiar with each other?
"What are you angry about? Didn't you compensate me with a fat duck? That duck is really delicious. If I'm still angry, are you going to compensate me with another one?"
When Zhou Chuncao mentioned ducks, his heart ached so much that blood was dripping from his mouth.
She herself couldn't bear to eat the duck!
Because of this, she was severely scolded by the head of the family and was criticized many times by her eldest son, both openly and secretly.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at Guan Li, and provoked: "What do you mean by waiting for Jiang Xiangxi to come back to pay the betrothal gifts? You are just kidding you. Jiang Xiangxi is already 19 years old. What have you been doing before? Why do you have to wait for him to do his labor service for this month?
You are a grown woman who has no self-respect. You run off to stay at your husband's house with nothing. If it were me, you'd already come to my house, so why would I need a betrothal gift? "
Guan Xiaoshan wanted to say that he and his sister were here to earn money, and his sister was not staying at her husband's house without a matchmaker or an engagement, and his aunt was not that kind of person either.
Shen Qing raised a smile and said, "You also said that it was you, but not me.
Don't even mention that the rice hasn't been cooked yet, even if it has become popcorn, I won't take a penny less from the girl! "
Zhou Chuncao's chest heaved violently, and he snorted, "Okay, then I'll wait and see."
What are you bragging about? It's not like he doesn't know Huo Bing's situation, and he still doesn't give you a penny. I'm afraid he won't give you a penny.
If she wasn't reluctant to spend the betrothal money, why would she wait until Jiang Xiangxi was nineteen years old and still not make any move, and then just happen to be willing to spend the betrothal money when she came today?
You really treat everyone like fools.
She looked at Guan Li with contempt. What a fool!
"Don't wait, you'll see it soon." A low voice came from a distance.
The three of them looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
Guan Li, who had just been taunted and suppressed by Zhou Chuncao, did not blush with anger. Instead, she blushed and looked shy when she saw the person coming.
Shen Qing: .....Love is really sweet when it’s young!
She urged Guan Li: "Go ahead, we haven't seen each other for a month."
Guan Li pursed her lips and finally jogged over to meet him.
But they stopped a few steps away and talked in low voices.
When Shen Qing formally met Jiang Xiangxi for the first time, he squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully in the sun.
As the laborer of the Jiang family, Jiang Xiangxi is tall and strong. Unlike the muscles developed in the gym, his strength and power are obtained through actual physical work.
After serving only one month of corvee labor, he came back looking even thinner.
This was despite Jiang Xiangdong sending over white flour buns and lard scraps from time to time. Without these foods, he would have become emaciated after doing the arduous corvee labor.
