Chapter 227 Redemption

Jiang Xiurong sat down next to him and smiled at him: "Thank you, comrade. My name is Jiang Xiurong. I am an educated youth who went to Xinglong Commune in Mudanjiang City. What about you?"

One could tell at a glance that her clothes and shoes were not cheap, and she also smelled pleasantly fragrant. Tang Mingli felt embarrassed and quickly turned his head to look at the back of the chair in front of him, not daring to look her in the face.

He whispered back, "My name is Tang Mingli, and I am also an educated youth sent to work in the countryside in Xinglong Commune."

"Really? That's such a coincidence! It would be great if we could be assigned to the same production team!" When Jiang Xiurong said this, there was a light in her eyes, brighter than the stars. She seemed sincerely glad to have met him.

And she is indeed Tang Mingli's light.

Jiang Xiurong made Tang Mingli feel that if fate had arranged for him to suffer for so many years, it was just to meet her at this moment.

Then he thinks it's worth it.

Everyone knows what happened next.

At the beginning, Tang Mingli was really inferior.

Who wouldn’t feel inferior if they fell in love with someone who was much better than themselves when they first fell in love?

He felt inferior but attracted at the same time.

His group of dining companions were all big spenders and had good conditions, but he was struggling to make ends meet.

Didn't he know that Jiang Xiurong was good to him, but he couldn't even give her a decent gift?

Anyone with a little sense of shame can feel at ease accepting the kindness of a girl.

Besides being poor, he also had a mother like that, which was one of the reasons why he retreated several times.

He really felt that a good girl like Jiang Xiurong was worthy of the love of a man like Cheng Zhao who had a good family background and a bright future.

If Jiang Xiurong was a little cold towards him, he would be able to control his emotions and not approach her.

But Jiang Xiurong chose him very firmly.

Feelings are something that cannot be controlled by oneself.

It's just like a drug addict. If you put drugs in front of him, he will definitely not be able to control himself.

Tang Mingli and Jiang Xiurong confessed their family backgrounds.

With an uneasy heart, he confessed everything about his past to Jiang Xiurong.

It takes a lot of courage to talk about your shameful past in front of someone you like.

It was as if the scars from the past were reopened, and he stood in front of her, naked and bloody.

Jiang Xiurong just looked at him quietly and listened to him talk about every detail of the past.

By the time he finished speaking, Jiang Xiurong had already burst into tears.

She reached out and hugged Tang Mingli.

Tang Mingli had never told her about these things in his previous life, and she didn't know that Tang Mingli had such a childhood.

Now that she knows, she won't feel disgusted at all. She just feels distressed.

Without her knowing, her Ali had suffered so much.

If Jiang Xiurong were Xia Zhizhi, he would definitely give Tang Mingli some advice: "Your mother is so bad, why don't we trick her over here and push her into the river to drown her and put an end to it all."

But they are both kind-hearted and would never commit murder or arson.

Faced with such a mother, Jiang Xiurong could only hug Tang Mingli and comfort him distressedly: "It's okay. If your mother really wants to make trouble, we can wait until she dies before getting married."

When she met Tang Mingli in her previous life, his mother had died. She could have fallen in love with Tang Mingli first. Anyway, she had been married twice in her previous life and had no obsession with marriage. It didn't matter whether she got married or not.

Tang Mingli didn't mind at all that Jiang Xiurong hoped his mother would die.

He lowered his head and smelled the scent of Jiang Xiurong's hair, then hugged her gently with trembling hands. He felt that at this moment, his world had changed. The biting cold wind had dissipated, the ice and snow had melted, and spring had arrived.

Although Jiang Xiurong said that they could wait, Tang Mingli couldn't really let her wait. Who knew how long that day would be? What if his mother had to live another twenty years? Who could afford to wait that long?

So he spared no effort to make money.

He thought of saving some money so that he could buy Jiang Xiurong a job in the city when they got married. After moving to the city, he would cut off contact with the village, so that even if his mother came looking for him, she would not be able to find him.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiurong supported him no matter what he did.

Tang Mingli suffered a lot of injustice during his childhood and even throughout his adolescence, but he never thought of taking revenge on society.

His mother gave birth to him, and he worked like a slave for her. He felt that he had a clear conscience, and he lived in peace and contentment until his mother died without any contact with her.

The worst thing he had ever done in his life was to chop Xia Zhizhi's chicken legs into pieces after she provoked him many times.

Therefore, Tang Mingli deserves to have such a good partner.

Normally Tang Mingli is very hardworking. He would help with cooking after work. But today he stayed in his room and didn't come out until the meal was cooked.

Jiang Xiurong must be concerned about him, so he went in to find him.

The door was half-open. When I pushed it open, I saw him sitting on the edge of the kang, staring at the pieces of letter paper in his hand with tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Xiurong took the letter from his hand and read it.

After all, Jiang Xiurong had lived through all those years in her life, so her mentality was much calmer than that of young people. In addition, she had a gentle and docile personality, so there were not many times in the past when she was really angry.

But after reading the letter, Jiang Xiurong was instantly furious.

She clenched her fists and angrily said to Tang Mingli, "I'm so angry, she's too much, how can she be a mother like that? I won't let you go back, and don't acknowledge her anymore, just pretend she never existed!"

Seeing that Tang Mingli didn't express his opinion, Jiang Xiurong pushed him anxiously, and raised his voice a few degrees: "Did you hear that?"

Tang Mingli was originally feeling very upset, with an indescribable sense of grievance and sadness, and all kinds of negative emotions mixed together.

But I could see Jiang Xiurong was so serious in speaking up for him.

The complicated emotions in my heart suddenly dissipated.

I just feel at ease.

Tang Mingli reached out and took Jiang Xiurong's hand, looked at Jiang Xiurong affectionately, and said firmly: "I heard you, I will listen to you from now on."

Jiang Xiurong lowered her head, held his face with both hands, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The two looked at each other lovingly, and then got closer and closer.

Seeing this, I can't help myself and want to kiss her.

It's quite pleasing to the eyes.

“Click.”

The cameras at this moment are purely mechanical and the sound is particularly crisp.

When they turned their heads, they saw Xia Zhizhi lying under a half-raised window with half of her head exposed.

Taking secret photos of them.

Jiang Xiurong...

When he was being intimate with his parents, he turned his head and found that his daughter, who had been sleeping soundly, had woken up. She was licking her fingers, blinking her big eyes, and looking at them curiously to see what the difference was.

Jiang Xiurong couldn't bear it, and her face flushed. She quickly turned away from Tang Mingli and said, "Dinner is ready. I'll call him over to eat."

Then he ran away.

Seeing Jiang Xiurong leave, Xia Zhizhi made a strange expression, then deliberately lowered her voice, imitating Tang Mingli's tone, and said to him: "How dare you, a clean-handed person, mistake a beautiful woman."

Tang Mingli...
