Chapter 5: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road



Just as she reached the gate of the compound, a Phoenix brand bicycle squeaked and stopped less than half a meter in front of her.

It blocked her way like a roadblock.

Jiang Yu looked up.

What caught my eye was a tall girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, her face a little red from the sun, she was wearing a military uniform, had a square face, and had two big, shiny black braids.

Jiang Yu secretly rolled his eyes, enemies often meet on a narrow road!

The other person seemed surprised to see her, then his eyes sparkled: "Jiang Yu, have you been kicked out of the Jiang family? Are they disgusted by your adultery? Hahaha... Didn't they say before that no matter what you do, the Jiang family will treat you like a treasure?"

You taste.

You taste it carefully.

This tone is so gloating.

The man in front of her was an admirer of the original owner's fiancé Cheng Wenyuan. Cheng Wenyuan was handsome and the original owner was completely devoted to him. She was crazy about him and would bang her head against the wall for him. Even when she was pregnant with someone else's child, she still remained infatuated with him and clung to Cheng Wenyuan.

Fang Jingyuan also deeply loves Cheng Wenyuan and has been causing trouble between them since they were young. The original owner is not someone who will swallow his anger, so the two of them often quarrel like chickens with black eyes.

But that was the original owner. Jiang Yu didn't have the heart to continue competing with her for the central air conditioner. Besides, what was the point of competing now? Wouldn't it be nice to go home and raise a child?

She treated Fang Jingyuan like shit and just walked right past her.

Fang Jingyuan: “…”

I feel despised!

When Jiang Yu walked over, Fang Jingyuan reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Jiang Yu, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

"Is there something?" Jiang Yu stopped and looked at her calmly.

Fang Jingyuan is very sensitive about her face: "What are you looking at? Are you going to say that my face is big again?"

She has a big face, and Jiang Yu has given her many nicknames since she was a child.

She was called square-faced, big-faced, and even more outrageous: tigress.

I'm so angry!

The gatekeeper watched the show from the side and grinned, "Xiaoyu has been laughing at your shamelessness for a long time. That's right, that's what she meant."

Before Jiang Yu could answer, he said: "..."

Uncle, can we not make trouble?

Fang Jingyuan's face flushed red. "My mom said that people with square faces are blessed and can help their husbands, and they will be able to help Brother Cheng in the future. People with oval faces like you are not so lucky, and you don't have what you want!"

She thought Jiang Yu would definitely respond sharply, but the next moment, she curled her red lips, revealing a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth as she said, "You're right, people with big heads are generally quite smart."

Fang Jingyuan: ...

What's wrong with Jiang Yu today? Not only is her fighting ability poor, but now she's actually being praised?

She raised her chin and said, "What are you planning? Don't think I'll let you go just because you say a few nice words!"

She and Jiang Yu had been quarreling since they were young, but Jiang Yu was very cunning, so she was always the one who got scolded.

This time Jiang Yu was kicked out of the Jiang family. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she will not let it go easily.

Jiang Yu looked at her face and said slowly, "Your facial features are very three-dimensional. You can be considered an eight-point beauty. It's just that this hairstyle doesn't suit you. It exposes your big face completely."

Fang Jingyuan: ???

She didn't know how to react for a moment, so she thought of waiting and seeing what ivory Jiang Yu could spit out next.

result.

Jiang Yu stopped talking!

She pulled her hand back and walked away without looking back.

Ahhhh, I'm so angry!

A figure not far away watched the two interact, then turned and left.

Jiang Yu carried his military satchel and travel bag to the other side and quickly boarded the bus to the station.

Although Fang Jingyuan has the temper of a spoiled daughter, she is not a bad person. The most important thing is that she is the son of an official.

Her father is the Minister of Logistics and Quartermaster, and his official position is higher than Jiang's father. Such a person must be conquered, as he might be useful in the future.

According to my memory, Fang Jingyuan is a person who only responds to soft words and does not respond to harsh words.

However, given the past confrontation between the two, simply showing weakness would be useless. Something had to be done to lure her into the trap.

A woman's nature is the best bait.

Love beauty.

She threw the bait in and now waited for the fish to slowly bite the hook.

The bus took half an hour to get to the bus station, and I waited another hour before I got the bus to Anqing County.

In the 1970s and 1980s, portraits of great men and large red slogans were still hung on the walls of train stations.

A group of pedestrians wearing gray, blue and green cloth clothes walked past her. At the door of the grocery store not far away, customers were buying buns. The steamer was opened and the hot steam spread out. Jiang Yu smelled the sweetness of cabbage and the fragrance of white flour.

Those sounds, smells, and the pedestrians who walked past her from time to time made her feel a strong sense of human fireworks in this strange world and a sense of belonging.

The buses in Beijing are red and white, with a thick layer of dust on the outside, the equipment inside is dilapidated, and the smell is very pungent.

After getting on the bus, Jiang Yu handed the 30-cent fare to the arrogant ticket seller and found a seat in the last row.

After driving, the driver hummed a little tune and drove the broken bus with the grandeur of a Hummer, bumping along with dust all the way to Anqing County.

Jiang Yu almost vomited from the shaking. After getting off the car, he sat on a stone nearby for a long time before suppressing the nausea.

The Jiang family here is a dual-income family. Before their death, Jiang's father and mother were workers in a textile factory.

She asked for directions along the way and arrived at the family compound.

This is Meichang Road, which is located in the suburban area of ​​Anqing County. After getting off the bus, walk to the left for about ten minutes to reach the city’s third bus company, and walk to the right for about ten minutes to reach the steel plant.

The Jiang family compound is just outside the steel plant's wall.

Although this is the outskirts of the city, it is not deserted, but rather very lively.

There is more than one such courtyard, there are nearly ten courtyards with walls and houses connected from front to back.

In the past, that was the coal plant’s family compound and staff dormitories, but later the coal plant moved away and a steel plant was built there.

The steel plant built a new dormitory building in the urban area and did not want the large courtyards outside. It left it to the street and allocated it to employees of other factories.

Although the people living in the compound are really mixed, the place is big and there are people doing all kinds of work. They all couldn't get houses elsewhere and gradually moved here.

Jiang Yu entered the alley.

I saw that the houses in the compound were much larger than the tube-shaped buildings where cadres lived in the central urban area. They were spacious and comfortable to live in, and some places even had their own small courtyards.

Just as she was thinking this, Jiang Yu followed the stone path someone had pointed out and arrived at a courtyard without a gate. It was made of blue bricks, blue tiles, and wooden beams. On the left wall was an iron sign with red characters on a white background, reading "Yard No. 6, Lane 3, Textile Factory."

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind.
