The ride back was exceptionally quiet.
Because it was getting late, Wu Jianguo responsibly sent Jiang An'an to the Nanxi Brigade, arriving just in time to get off work.
The commune members were all dumbfounded, standing there like wooden blocks, staring blankly at the military green pickup truck parked at the entrance of the village.
What made everyone even more jealous was that the little girl from Jiang Degui's family came down bent over.
By the time Jiang Degui and his wife received the news, the pickup truck had already driven away again, and Jiang Anan was surrounded by enthusiastic members.
"An'an, is it more comfortable to sit in a pickup truck or a tractor?"
"You're so lucky that you happened to happen upon the Public Security Bureau sending a car to the county town for business."
"What does the Women's Federation say? Divorce your eldest sister?"
…
Lin Meiru put her hands on her hips, and her aura was as fierce as a bell: "Get out of here, get out of here, my family is exhausted after running around for a day."
"Aren't we concerned about An'an?" someone argued.
"Okay." Lin Meiru smiled half-heartedly: "Since you are so interested, would you like to come to your house for dinner tonight and have a drink and chat?"
As soon as this statement came out, the members fled one after another. Every household doesn't have enough food to eat. Who has the leisure to entertain Jiang Lao Er and his family?
Have a drink?
Why doesn’t Lin Meiru go to heaven?
"What good things did your second sister ask you to bring back?" Jiang Degui noticed with sharp eyes that the military bag on the little girl's chest was heavy. He helped to take it and carry it in his hands, and found that it was quite heavy.
His dark face suddenly wrinkled with laughter.
"Come on, daddy will show you his skills when you get home."
Jiang Degui was not taken seriously since he was a child, and his mother kept a close eye on his brother, causing him to go hungry every day.
But he was smart and well-spoken. He learned how to make a fire and cook by helping Mrs. Jiang in the kitchen, so he often secretly turned on the small stove.
Jiang Degui's cooking skills were even better than Lin Meiru's. The hairtail was fried until it was golden on both sides, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The braised pork is then added with potato pieces and simmered in the pot. A circle of steamed buns is placed on the side of the large iron pot, and the pot is covered and simmered.
Twenty minutes later, the wowotou was full of soup and the potatoes were cooked. Take them out and put them on a plate.
In the past, Lin Meiru would definitely have chosen a few pieces of hairtail to send to Mrs. Jiang. But Jiang Degui didn't mention it twice in a row, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The family ate until their bellies were full under the crescent moonlight.
At the end, Duobao burped.
He hugged his watermelon-like belly and looked forward to eating meat every day!
"An'an, why don't we forget about the lawsuit?" Suddenly, the eldest sister Jiang Shulan said this.
Jiang Anan was squinting her eyes and feeling sleepy. She suddenly opened them: "Sister, can you first tell me why you suddenly changed your mind?"
Jiang Shulan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her younger sister didn't get angry and blame herself. She looked down at the table and spoke in a soft voice: "Duobao still has to live in the Nanxi Brigade after all. The bigger this thing gets, the harder it will be for him to grow up and become sensible in the future. I have thought about it carefully, and I have the skills With feet and support from my mother-in-law, I will always live a happy life."
Jiang Anan frowned when she heard this, and hit the nail on the head: "Did Zhou Kang come to you to intercede?"
The biggest impact of this incident was on Zhou Kang. The divorce caused a storm in the city and would affect the political review. If he goes to court, he may never be able to return to the capital city in his life.
Jiang Shulan is soft-tempered, gentle and virtuous, and regards her husband and children as her first priority. She is a very traditional rural woman. As long as you hold onto Duobao, you won't be afraid that she won't compromise.
Jiang Shulan had a flash of panic visible to the naked eye. In fact, Jiang Anan had a pretty good guess, but what made her break her guard was her younger sister's marriage!
——"It will still be more than ten years before Duobao grows up, but as Jiang Anan's reputation for toughness spreads, don't even think about finding your husband's family again in this life. Jiang Shulan, because of your selfish desire to turn your biological sister into an old lady that no one wants, you How cruel!”
——"The worst case scenario is that we will both lose and I won't go back to the city, but I swear that one day, I will let Jiang Anan experience the pain of being ruined. You don't know how much those second-rate guys in the brigade who are idle all day long miss her. "
——"Remember what I say, if it gets too big, it won't be good for anyone. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes."
I especially remember Zhou Kang’s expression at that time, which was sarcastic, disdainful, and determined to win!
Her weakness is her relatives, who are held tightly by Zhou Kang.
"I'm sorry..." Jiang Shulan gritted her teeth, tears falling down, one drop at a time on the back of her hand.
"Little sister, I can't help you."
The air seems to be frozen at this moment!
Even the two elders were stunned in place, not expecting that the eldest daughter would suddenly go back on her word.
"Did that rotten Zhou Kang threaten you?" Lin Meiru slapped the table angrily, gritting her teeth: "I was really blind before I betrothed you to that scumbag."
The old couple called themselves scoundrels, but they didn't expect that after hunting geese all day long, they would meet a white-eyed wolf who was even more shameless and had no bottom line and conscience than them.
She couldn't swallow this breath, and Lin Meiru's eyes were filled with blazing anger: "Master, copy this guy, let's go find the person named Zhou to settle the score."
Jiang Anan was shocked: "Mom, calm down."
"Mom, don't go!"
Jiang Shulan was so frightened that she hugged her mother's waist, knelt on the ground with her legs, and begged in a low voice: "Mom, please let me beg you, can this end here?"
She has been with Zhou Kang for two years, and she knows that her husband is a ruthless hypocrite. If she makes him anxious, he will really be defeated, and he will attack the second elder and Jiang An'an.
"Who are you doing this for? I'm so angry that you actually knelt down and begged me for that piece of shit. How could I give birth to a timid daughter like you?" Lin Meiru hated iron and kept slapping her palms, which were used to farm work. Jiang Shulan's back made a thumping sound.
Jiang Shulan couldn't express her pain, and her tears fell even more violently.
"Mom, if you have something to say, please speak up and don't hit me." Jiang An'an quickly stepped forward to break up the fight. Her mother was a real tiger, and she would strike at the slightest disagreement.
But Lin Meiru was so powerful that she almost hurt innocent people several times. She hurriedly asked for help and looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Degui, "Dad, please help me persuade mother."
Jiang Degui had only taken two steps when he was frightened by Lin Meiru's glaring eyes and stopped dead in his tracks.
"Don't stop anyone, or I'll fight you all together." Lin Meiru's eyebrows stood up one by one. She turned around and saw the eldest daughter clenching her teeth and silently forbearing. She felt like a ball of fire was rolling in her chest, and her voice was sharp:
"Your father and I have worked hard to raise you, and we are reluctant to let you do the housework. Look at the brigade, whose daughter can live as easily as your four sisters? That's a job that can't be done even before dawn. , I can’t even eat enough.”
"It's not too much to say that you four sisters grew up pampered in the village, right? But how do you repay us? Just like the little daughters-in-law who were tortured and persecuted under feudalism, they were ridden on the forehead by their husband's family."
"Why, does my pampered eldest daughter deserve to marry into the Zhou family and be bullied?"
