"When Xiaoqin gets married, I hope my mother will treat her well. She has been wronged."
Xian Junniang gritted her teeth in anger. She took a step back and pointed at Jiang Xianjun and Jiang Er: "Okay, okay, you are father and son, so just join forces to bully me. I'm giving up, and I won't care about anything from now on!" "
Xian Junniang ran back to her house in anger and didn't even eat dinner.
In the room, Jiang Er said to Jiang Xianjun: "Don't worry, I've long been used to your mother's temper and talk, and I won't take it seriously."
Jiang Xianjun nodded lightly, "Dad, I will bring you food, and we will eat."
While eating, Jiang Er discussed with Jiang Xianjun again: "I still have some private money hidden here. You can take it and give it to the Zheng family as a betrothal gift."
It was originally agreed that a betrothal gift would be given, which was also what Jiang Er meant. Naturally, the betrothal gift from three matchmakers and six matchmakers was indispensable when marrying a wife.
But Xianjun Niang secretly instigated Jiang Xianjun and Zheng Xiaoqin to have physical intimacy.
The purpose is to let the girl get pregnant before marriage, and then provide the child to get married, so that the price of the betrothal gift can be reduced.
This move was so damaging that even Jiang Er couldn't stand it, but he was paralyzed in bed and unable to fight.
He really had no choice but to make the Zheng family give in again and again, so he gradually took out all the private money he had hidden for half his life and gave it to his son, asking him to secretly give it to the Zheng family, which could make up for it to some extent. apology.
Jiang Xianjun took the personal money handed over by Jiang Er and saw that there were a full two taels of silver!
"Dad, there are so many..."
Jiang Er waved his hand, pushed the two taels of silver into Jiang Xianjun's hand, and helped him squeeze his son's hand into a fist.
"Don't tell your mother about this money. Give it to the Zheng family. This is our sincerity."
"When the Zheng girl comes in, treat her well. Your mother is not easy to get along with. You have to protect her. She has given her whole life to you, so you can't make her feel bad."
"Also, starting from tomorrow, you will work on the crops at home in the morning, and in the afternoon you will go to your father-in-law's house to help them with work. Take actions to appease their hearts and quell the rumors."
Jiang Er explained this in detail to Jiang Xianjun again. Jiang Xianjun listened carefully and silently remembered it in his heart.
I have to admit that my father is indeed experienced in cleaning up messes, so I will do what he says.
"Dad, over there at Taozi's house..."
"Don't worry about Taozi's house for now, just let the villagers laugh," Jiang Er said.
He pointed at his head, "People's memories are very short here. If you laugh about something outrageous for a while, it will pass after you talk about it for a while."
"By the way, Dad, when I came back today, I was surrounded by a few old men and old ladies who asked me a lot of weird things..."
After listening to Jiang Xianjun's story, Jiang Er grinned, "Another incident broke out in the village today. Tao Zi's son is not his biological son."
"Ah? Is there such a thing? Whose biological child is that?" Jiang Xianjun asked again.
"Who knows! Anyway, it has nothing to do with us." Jiang Er said.
"It doesn't matter if this thing comes out, it just diverts everyone's discussion about you, and you don't have to stay at the forefront."
…
When Jiang Xianjun luckily escaped from this turmoil, the fifth-room house of Lao Yang's family at the entrance of the village.
Ye Yi brought the appearance of the shoes that Yang Ruoqing gave him to Mianmian, and both Bao Suyun and Jiang Guiling wisely avoided it.
Mianmian put away her shoes, put them back into the sewing basket, picked up a new pair of socks inside, and mustered up the courage to hand them to Yoruichi.
"I'm clumsy, Brother Ye, please don't dislike me."
The girl's voice was very low and she didn't dare to raise her head.
From Yoruichi's perspective, he could only see her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like two black butterflies resting on her pretty face.
Yoruichi took the socks handed over by Mianmian. Under the candlelight, his cold and sharp face showed a softness that he didn't even notice.
"I'll accept it, thank you."
There were many strange emotions in his heart. Those emotions were soft, warm, and indescribably wonderful.
But he didn't have the words to express those complex emotions.
"You're welcome, this is my responsibility." Mianmian added, glancing at him secretly, and quickly looking away.
Ye Yi nodded, "Well, don't do it again."
With such white and tender hands, how tiring are you doing all this embroidery work?
Mianmian suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise: "You, you don't like it?"
Yoruichi was stunned for a moment, seeing the anxiety and questioning in the girl's eyes, as if there was still water brewing in her eyes.
Yoruichi thought that her words might have misunderstood her, and he was anxious.
In this hurry, his brows knitted together.
Mianmian saw that he was silent and frowning, and her fiery heart began to sink.
Could it be that what happened to Jiang Xianjun last night really made him misunderstand? That's why he refused her to do embroidery work for him?
Isn’t it natural for a fiancée to do embroidery work for her fiancé and take care of his clothes and shoes for all seasons?
What does it mean when a man doesn't want his wife to prepare those things for him?
Tears welled up in her eyes. She resisted the urge to cry and explained what happened last night to Ye Yi in a low voice: "Brother Ye Yi, last night was not an appointment between Jiang Xianjun and I. It was unintentional. I bumped into it..."
"Yeah, I know." Ye Yi said solemnly.
He had been secretly protecting her almost all day yesterday, and he knew exactly how many times she drank water.
Of course he knew that her meeting with Jiang Xianjun had nothing to do with her.
"Brother Ye, although I was engaged to him before, we had nothing to do with each other after we broke off the engagement."
Mianmian still lowered her eyes and said softly.
She had never mentioned this so frankly in front of a man, and she was really ashamed.
But no matter what, she wanted to make it clear to the other party that even if they couldn't become husband and wife, they couldn't leave any misunderstanding or bad impression.
"Since I'm engaged to you, I won't do anything to discredit you. Please believe me..."
The more she said it to the end, the lower her head drooped. She held back her tears hard, not wanting to shed tears in front of Yoruichi.
If Brother Ye doesn't believe her and wants to cancel the engagement, she won't blame him.
She didn't want to cry in front of him, didn't want to use tears to tie up a man's engagement, and didn't want to use tears to win sympathy.
She actually didn't know anything about Ye Yi at all, so Mianmian couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and she became increasingly unsure...
A small object was suddenly handed to Mianmian.
It's a silver whistle.
Mianmian raised her head and looked at the tall and straight man in front of her, her mist-filled eyes filled with astonishment.
"If someone bullies you again, just blow this whistle, and I will come to save you when I hear it." Ye Yi said with a serious face, his tone was still as harsh as before, but in Mian Mian's ears, it seemed to be redemptive. Gospel.
