Before Bai Jingjing could react, Mrs. Zhang had already stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shengnan, wanting him to stay, but Jiang Shengnan ignored her and just glanced at Bai Jingjing.
"Jingjing, I'm leaving now. Let's forget about what we talked about before."
Bai Jingjing also reacted at this time. That was her lifelong obsession, so how could she let it go?
"Auntie Nan, wait a minute, I'll talk to my mother-in-law."
After hearing this, Jiang Shengnan snorted coldly, turned around and walked a few meters away, waiting for Bai Jingjing there.
Mrs. Zhang frowned and looked at Bai Jingjing.
"Jingjing, is this the person you were talking about? Why do I feel like he's not a good enough person?"
Bai Jingjing immediately became anxious: "It's not working, why is it not working, then mom, do you have any way to help me get all the Bai family's property back?"
Mrs. Zhang is just an old woman. Zhang Laosan had to use some tricks to marry Bai Jingjing. How could she have the connections in this area?
"Mom, think of that five hundred dollars as a loan from me to you. I'll return it to you when I get the Bai family's property back."
Bai Jingjing was a little annoyed, fearing that Mrs. Zhang would continue to pester her, so Jiang Shengnan left in a hurry and anger.
Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a while and finally decided to give the money to Bai Jingjing. This was a chance for the Zhang family to turn things around.
"Jingjing, look at what you said. We are all family. Why are you talking about this?"
After figuring it out, Mrs. Zhang immediately changed her tone. She took out a handkerchief bag from her pocket, slowly handed it to Bai Jingjing, and couldn't help but give her instructions.
"Jingjing, this is our family's only property, we must not allow anything to go wrong with it."
Bai Jingjing's eyes were on Mrs. Zhang's hands. She didn't pay any attention to what Mrs. Zhang was saying. She nodded perfunctorily, took the handkerchief and left.
Mrs. Zhang grabbed Bai Jingjing.
"Jingjing, the man took the money, so ask her to write a note."
"How is that possible?" Bai Jingjing blurted out. She knew very well that asking someone for help to find connections could not be done by asking someone to make a request. What would that mean?
"That's impossible. If she doesn't write a note, we can't give her the money."
Mrs. Zhang's face darkened as well. These five hundred yuan were most of her family property. How could she just give them to others? She would definitely have to get a receipt before she could feel at ease.
Bai Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask her."
Of course she also wants a guarantee, but would Jiang Shengnan be willing to give it?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shengnan agreed so readily.
"Okay, I'll write you a note, you go find some paper and pen."
Bai Jingjing was stunned for a second before she realized that Jiang Shengnan was really helping her get the Bai family's house back, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to write her a receipt so readily.
Bai Jingjing quickly went back to get paper and pen, and Jiang Shengnan quickly wrote her a note.
It was clearly written on the note that Jiang Shengnan would give Bai Jingjing a house after one month after receiving the five hundred yuan from her.
When Bai Jingjing saw the word "house", she finally let go of the stone hanging in her heart. She said nice things without paying for them: "Thank you, Aunt Nan. Aunt Nan is so good to me. Only you can be so good to me."
"Then I'll leave." Jiang Shengnan had already counted the money and felt that there was no problem. She didn't want to get entangled with Bai Jingjing anymore.
Bai Jingjing just watched Jiang Shengnan leave, her eyes full of joy.
That’s great. In a few days, she will be able to get the Bai family’s house. By then, she will still be the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
Bai Jingjing handed the note to Mrs. Zhang with a proud look on her face.
"Mom, I told you Auntie Nan is fine. This is the note she wrote to me. Are you relieved now?"
Mrs. Zhang took the note, read it up and down twice, and handed it back to Bai Jingjing: "Read it to me again."
Bai Jingjing: ...
But when Bai Jingjing finished reading, Mrs. Zhang immediately raised her doubts: "It doesn't say where the house is? It doesn't say how many houses there are?"
Bai Jingjing was like a furry cat with her eyes wide open: "Mom, do you know how many houses the Bai family has? It's not clearly written here."
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe what Bai Jingjing said. She always felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Shengnan.
But the house belonged to the Bai family, and Bai Jingjing was pregnant again, so Mrs. Zhang did not provoke her anymore and just put the note away.
"Leave this here with me. I'll give it to you when we go to see the house."
Bai Jingjing waved her hand: "Mom took the money, just keep it."
Anyway, just give the house to her.
For the next month, Jiang Shengnan did not look for Bai Jingjing again.
Bai Jingjing's pregnancy was not going well. She vomited everything she ate and was so weak that she couldn't get up from the bed. Zhang Laosan and Zhang Pozi were so anxious that they went everywhere to find things to nourish Bai Jingjing's body, fearing that the baby in her belly would not grow well.
It was not until May that Bai Jingjing's health improved a little and she was able to get up and walk around. However, her face had become much thinner and she looked nothing like a pregnant woman. Instead, she looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Mrs. Zhang gave Bai Jingjing an egg every day, but Bai Jingjing's complexion still did not recover. She was so angry that she said privately that the eggs were wasted.
But she didn't dare not give Bai Jingjing the medicine, because Bai Jingjing was in poor health and she was worried about affecting the child's health.
That day, Bai Jingjing went out for a walk and thought for a long time before she remembered that it was already one month past the time she and Jiang Shengnan had agreed on.
Could it be that I had been bedridden all the time and Jiang Shengnan couldn't find me?
Bai Jingjing was a little anxious.
There were so many people in the compound and they were gossiping, so she couldn't get a good rest during the day. If she could move to the Bai family's house earlier, she could have a good rest.
Mrs. Zhang is not Bai Jingjing. She paid 500 yuan, but she was counting the days.
It’s just that Bai Jingjing wasn’t feeling well some time ago and couldn’t get out of bed, so it would be useless even if she told him, so she didn’t say anything.
"Jingjing, why don't you go look for that person in the next two days? It's already past the time on the note, and that house..."
She originally wanted to ask whether she could not get it back, but then she thought, that was her 500 yuan and she must get it back, so she immediately changed her words.
"Should we go get the house? We need to clean it after we get it back. The baby in your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so I'll do the cleaning."
These words were so thoughtful that Bai Jingjing couldn't help but nod.
"Mom, I'll go find her now."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to go with them, but Bai Jingjing recalled Jiang Shengnan's reaction when he saw Mrs. Zhang, and shook her head.
"Mom, don't go with her, or Aunt Nan will be angry again if she sees you."
In order to get the house back smoothly, Mrs. Zhang did not go with them.
Bai Jingjing felt tired as soon as she walked out of the alley, so she went back and asked Mrs. Zhang to give her a dollar so that she could take a bus.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Bai Jingjing's belly, swallowed her words, and gave the money to Bai Jingjing.
Bai Jingjing took a bus to Peking University and looked around in the woods, but didn't find the message Jiang Shengnan left for her. She frowned and went to find Professor Jiang again.
