Chapter 4 The Envy of the Village
But being able to ride in a car makes the whole life worth it. The old couple were dizzy when they were invited to get in the car by the bodyguards. When they saw the envious eyes of the villagers, they straightened their backs.
Jiang Yu did not get in the car immediately, but looked at Chen Zhi.
"Is this person also a member of the Zhou family?"
Seeing that she was asking about Chen Zhi, Zhang Guixiang curled her lips and said, "It's your sister-in-law."
As she spoke, the old woman secretly looked at Jiang Yu's face, fearing that she didn't want to acknowledge the marriage. After all, the current situations of the two families were really too different.
Of course Jiang Yu didn't show any special expression. Upon hearing this, she smiled politely and distantly.
"Since we are a family, let's get in the car."
Then, on the pretext that there were too many things in the van and there was no room for people, he let Chen Zhi get into the car.
Zhang Guixiang, who was sitting in the van, felt jealous. She wished she could pull down the cheap branch that had been bought from the Zhou family and sit on it herself.
There were outsiders in the car, and outside the car there were villagers who were following Zhou's family to watch the fun. Jiang Yu didn't know what to say. She looked at Chen Zhi, who was extremely thin, and wondered how to feed him to make him fatter.
Chen Zhi lowered her head pretending to be shy, and used her clothes to cover her hand to pull Jiang Yu, indicating that they should find a chance to talk later.
Arriving at Zhou's house, Zhang Guixiang got out of the car in a heroic and high-spirited manner, trying to regain the face she had lost in the past few months.
She actually rode in a car. She was the only old lady in Xiaohe Village who had ridden in a car!
I didn't show off for long before I saw two drivers putting out a pile of gifts.
There were lots of pork tied with red ribbons, roast chickens and ducks in gift boxes, as well as clothes, radios and cigarettes, which almost made her eyes pop out.
The villagers who were watching took a deep breath.
How much do so many things cost? Just the radio is enough to make them jealous. When they see the pile of meat, their eyes are so red that they bleed.
The Zhou family has only been in decline for a short time, but they already have such a wealthy future daughter-in-law. Their ancestral grave must be very powerful.
But thinking that Zhou Xiao had a broken leg, no matter how successful he had been in the past, he was now a disabled person. It was possible that the girl from the rich family would cancel the engagement as soon as she saw Zhou Xiao's condition.
Thinking of this, they were not so jealous anymore and just waited to see whether this gift would become compensation for breaking off the engagement, so that the Zhou family could still show off.
"There are a lot of things. Is anyone else at home? Where is Zhou Xiao?" Jiang Yu asked, pretending not to know the situation of the Zhou family.
Zhang Guixiang didn't dare to tell her eldest son about his current situation. She was about to laugh it off and push the old man to move things. Then I saw my youngest son squeeze into the crowd.
"Mom, I heard there are guests at home?"
As soon as Zhou Tinghuai came back from the county, he was told on the way that his brother's childhood sweetheart had come looking for him, so he hurried home to see what was going on.
As soon as she saw him, Zhang Guixiang pulled him over.
"Your future sister-in-law, why don't you call someone?"
Zhou Tinghuai scratched his head, looking at the elegant female comrade in front of him, he didn't know where to put his hands.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Jiang Yu tucked the loose hair on the side of her face behind her ears with a smile, and the diamond on her watch sparkled in the sun.
"Just call me by my name."
Her voice was distant and her manners were polite, which made the Zhou family's eyelids twitch.
The villagers who were watching the fun looked at each other with a look of gloating in their eyes.
My goodness, this means you are denying the marriage!
It seems that the smoke from Old Zhou's house has only come out halfway, not all.
Jiang Yu had no intention of explaining anything to the nervous and frozen-looking Zhou family members.
She came here for her best friend and the mission.
As for Zhou Xiao, he was just a tool to unlock funds. It was okay to get along with him for a short period of time, but Jiang Yu was unwilling to marry a man she had never met.
When Zhang Guixiang saw Jiang Yu's expression, she felt that the engagement might really be cancelled. Her heart was pounding, but she couldn't say anything. She just pinched Zhou Tinghuai to make him speak.
Zhou Tinghuai didn't dare to raise his head to look at Jiang Yu, who was as beautiful as a fairy. He moved his mouth a few times, and finally shut up and went to move things from the car.
The bodyguard was also moving. Zhou Tinghuai was envious of his suit and watch, and couldn't help but start a conversation.
"Are you Comrade Jiang's elder brother?"
You can’t call her sister-in-law, so Zhou Tinghuai thought about it and called her this, making Zhang Guixiang vomit blood.
He is usually very good at talking, but when it comes to serious situations, he becomes tongue-tied.
Jiang Yu knew from the looks of it that he had an unusual background. Why didn't she try to please him and maintain the engagement between the two families?
Zhou Tinghuai was not stupid. He could see Jiang Yu's cold attitude. Even though he felt regretful, he would not be so shameless as to force the lesbian to marry his brother.
The bodyguard took the meat down from the car and asked Zhou Tinghuai to take it, and said stiffly.
"I am the bodyguard responsible for protecting the lady's safety."
"bodyguard?!"
Wow, is this the bodyguard that follows the big boss in the TV dramas in Hong Kong?
Zhou Tinghuai and his men all stayed there.
The Zhou family and villagers gasped again.
Even when he comes to visit relatives, he is protected by someone. How powerful must this person be? He must be more powerful than those leaders. Those leaders don’t have bodyguards like him.
Jiang Yu was very pleased with their fear. If they were not afraid of an orphan girl coming to meet her childhood sweetheart, he would either exploit her bones, suck her blood, or kill her entire family.
It’s estimated that it will take a while to move all these things, Jiang Yu turned to Zhang Guixiang and said.
"I feel a little tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Do you want to go home first?"
Hearing that Jiang Yu wanted to rest at Zhou's house, Zhang Guixiang came to her senses. Fearing that she had run away, she quickly took her to Zhou's house.
After busying around pouring water for Jiang Yu, he said that she could rest in her married eldest daughter's room, but the room needed to be cleaned up.
"I'm not very good at doing these things. In the past, it was always done by nannies and servants." Jiang Yu looked distressed.
Zhang Guixiang almost wanted to ask herself to clean up, but when she heard the name of this nanny and servant, she was afraid that they might be the same as the maids employed by the landlords.
Suddenly he couldn't save his pride anymore and his eyes fell on Chen Zhi.
She didn't care about the young daughter-in-law who was thrown into her home and just ordered her around.
"Comrade Jiang has delicate hands. You are not allowed to touch these. Chen Zhi, go clean up the room and be quick."
It's like choosing the right dish based on the dish.
Finally having the chance to talk to Jiang Yu, Chen Zhi didn't care and quickly agreed. He hugged Zhang Guixiang and took out a new quilt and new cotton wool from the cabinet, and then went into the empty room.
Jiang Yu followed behind, saying she was tired from riding the bus.
As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, he was hugged tightly by the excited Shen Zhi.
"Oh my god, luckily the young lady is here too. I thought I was the only one who had crossed into the book."
"You don't know, I was scared to death when I didn't see you."
"Don't worry, we were in a car accident together, so of course we have to go through the book together." Jiang Yu patted her best friend's shoulder.
Speaking of this, Chen Zhi touched the beautiful face of the eldest lady, her skin as delicate as jade, and then looked at his own thin body, and he felt very sad.
"But your book-traveling experience is different from mine. You are the body-traveling one. Look, my soul is the heroine's unlucky cousin, and I am a control group to set off the heroine's happiness."
"As soon as I arrived yesterday, I ran into the heroine dragging me into the river, plotting a marriage exchange plot. Before you came today, when I heard that I wanted to spend my family's money and that my parents were thrown into the Zhou family, I was so angry that I clenched my fists."
