Jiang Shaochen was jealous that she could accept Wang Xinian but not him.
But Shen Mingzhi really felt uncomfortable because of his presence, and he should indeed consider her feelings.
“Then I’ll come to see you and the child once a day, and I won’t stay here at night, how about that?” he said, as if to compromise.
“As long as your Jiang family keeps that man’s information hidden, I will not accept you. My condition for accepting you is that I want to know the truth. You are very good to the children, so good that you seem like their biological father. Shouldn’t I know the reason behind this?” Shen Mingzhi said calmly.
"I'll tell you when I get some things," Jiang Shaozhen said, placing Niannian in the crib, leaning down to kiss Zhouzhou, then standing up and looking at Shen Mingzhi, he said, "Then I'll go stay somewhere else first."
Seeing him leave with his work clothes and helmet, Shen Mingzhi felt uneasy.
This was originally applied for by the Jiang family for them. It's too much for her to kick them out, isn't it?
Wang Xinian came out of the room and couldn't help but say, "This house was applied for by the Jiang family for you. Why don't you let him stay and live with you?"
Shen Mingzhi turned to look at him, "Didn't you dislike him?"
“Although I don’t like it, I know what it feels like to be kicked out of your home,” Wang Xinian said softly.
Last time two women caused trouble, she was arrested. At least Jiang Shaozhen is here. When they arrest someone, they have to consider his past achievements.
He was temporarily unable to protect Shen Mingzhi and her child, but with Jiang Shaochen staying here, he could go to school for the college entrance examination with peace of mind.
Upon hearing his words and considering Jiang Shaozhen's current situation, Shen Mingzhi immediately went out.
Outside the family compound, Jiang Shaozhen, who was struggling with where to go, heard a voice behind him and subconsciously turned his head.
Shen Mingzhi was panting as she ran. When she saw that he was still there, she went up to him and said, "You haven't eaten yet. At this time of day, it's ridiculously expensive to eat at a restaurant."
"It's alright, I can handle it casually," Jiang Shaozhen said. "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Let's go home first." Shen Mingzhi grabbed his muscular arm and pulled him back.
"Did the couple have a fight?" the old lady asked them with a smile as she took her grandson out for a walk.
"No," Jiang Shaozhen smiled at the old lady.
The old lady stopped, looked Shen Mingzhi up and down, and said, "Your sister came over today saying that she's been seducing men everywhere. That girl has a really sharp tongue, making all the other women in the yard uneasy."
Jiang Shaozhen's face darkened. He shielded Shen Mingzhi behind him and said in an unfriendly tone, "My wife is not the kind of person she described."
"Your sister said it, not me. If others say it, we'll laugh it off, but if it's your own sister, who knows if it's true or not?" The old lady said sarcastically, then left with her grandson.
Jiang Shaozhen glanced at Shen Mingzhi, who had a calm expression beside him, then turned and left, saying, "I'm going back."
“She has legs, so if you teach her a lesson today, she’ll come back and slander me even more tomorrow. Let’s go inside and have dinner.” Shen Mingzhi pulled him inside.
During the meal, Jiang Shaozhen remained silent, but Wang Xinian frequently served food to Shen Mingzhi.
"Alright, my bowl is already piled high with food," Shen Mingzhi said helplessly.
Wang Xinian glanced at the silent Jiang Shaozhen and asked her, "What's wrong with him?"
"You eat your food, don't worry about me," Jiang Shaozhen said calmly. "Did you solve the problem I told you about last night?"
"You can even set exam questions?" Shen Mingzhi was a little surprised. She thought Jiang Shaozhen was just a soldier, and people like that usually hadn't even finished their studies.
"I officially joined the army after I finished high school. I've studied math, English, and other languages a bit," Jiang Shaozhen said with a smile when he saw that she was interested in his story.
Shen Mingzhi responded with an "oh," and in the second year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, English became a compulsory subject.
After dinner, Jiang Shaochen insisted on washing the dishes, while Wang Xinian was sent off to study.
Shen Mingzhi helped him in the kitchen.
"When I'm less busy in a few days, let's go to the department store and buy a bed, a TV, a radio, and replace the furniture in the house," Jiang Shaozhen said while washing the dishes, asking for her opinion.
“We can live here now, why waste this money?” Shen Mingzhi didn’t want to use his money; it was her own money, and she still needed to do business.
“I want this place to feel more like home,” Jiang Shaozhen said, looking up into her eyes. He wanted the subsidy so that she and her two children could have a better life. “Besides, it’s okay if this money is spent; I have tens of thousands of yuan saved with my parents.”
In this era, tens of thousands of yuan is considered extremely wealthy.
"Your salary isn't enough for you to save this much, is it? You're sponging off your parents and doing it so self-righteously," Shen Mingzhi said speechlessly.
Jiang Shao Chen's lips curled up slightly. "When my older brother sacrificed his life, he received a lot of compensation, including our little villa. My mother divided the money into two parts. The smaller part went to my sister, who also received the villa. The larger part is mine. Together with what they saved, we have about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is enough for us to spend. We can buy whatever we want."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Shen Mingzhi pushed him away.
Jiang Shao Chen reached out and grasped her wrist, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Because I want to live a good life with you. If you need money in your business, you'll have the confidence to rely on me and the Jiang family."
Shen Mingzhi blushed at his sudden confessions, pushed him away, and quickly walked out of the kitchen. "I have several thousand yuan myself, okay? I don't even need that much to do business."
She only plans to run a small business; if she wants to expand, she'll have to wait, otherwise things could easily go wrong.
“Because I know you will make a lot of money, the money that my Jiang family has saved is also your capital,” Jiang Shaozhen told her.
Shen Mingzhi returned to her room, closed the door, and began breastfeeding Niannian and Zhouzhou.
Fifty or sixty thousand...that's an absolute fortune for people of this era.
After she finished breastfeeding, she went outside and found that Jiang Shaozhen was no longer at home. Shen Mingzhi searched everywhere and then went to Wang Xinian's room.
Seeing that he was alone in the room, she frowned and said, "He didn't tell you he was leaving?"
"No, I thought you were talking outside," Wang Xinian said. "Or did you leave?"
"Hmm... never mind, you should get some rest and not study too late." Shen Mingzhi's tone was slightly disappointed.
Wang Xinian couldn't help but mutter, "When I'm not studying, you're afraid I won't pass the exam; when I am studying, you're afraid I'll study too much."
"You're such a chatterbox. Go to bed early and get up early to study; you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort!" Shen Mingzhi said before leaving his room.
After sitting in the living room for a while, just as she was about to go to sleep, Jiang Yinyin's scream came from outside.
Shen Mingzhi went out wearing slippers.
She saw Jiang Shaozhen grab Jiang Yinyin by the collar and enter the family compound.
