Listening to Jing Xiao's serious explanation, Tang Muzhi was obviously a little dumbfounded. She was only twenty-one years old, and she actually got married like this, and she was married to someone who was eight years older than her.
Mrs. Jing took the red notebook from Jing Xiao's hand, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and murmured in her mouth with a look of relief: "It's good now, I finally have an explanation." ”
As she spoke, she walked towards the car, as if giving them some space to be alone.
Tang Muzhi still hadn't recovered, but when she saw Mrs. Jing's smile, she actually had the illusion that her grandma had seen her get married.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Jing Xiao looked at her dull expression and asked involuntarily.
"Huh? Oh, no." She shook her head quickly, her mind in chaos.
Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then let's do this for now, and we'll talk about it later."
After finishing speaking, he took out his phone and handed the QR code on the screen to her, "This is my WeChat, please scan it."
Tang Muzhi glanced up, then took out his phone, scanned it quickly, and added friends.
After passing her friend, she received a transfer of two hundred yuan, "This is..."
"I'm going to take grandma home later. You can take a taxi and go by yourself." He explained calmly.
"Okay." Tang Muzhi did not refuse. After receiving the transfer, he seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, on New Year's Day, I have a part-time job in the morning and will be busy until five in the afternoon. I will accompany you back in the evening. Is it okay to eat?”
"Okay." He nodded, "If you have anything, send me a message."
"Okay." She responded, "Then I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Jing Xiao still looked cold, nodded and said: "Go and do your work."
"Do I need to tell grandma?" She asked tentatively, looking towards the car.
"No need." He refused coldly, "Be careful on the road."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the car without a moment's hesitation.
Watching his tall and slender figure go away, Tang Muzhi smiled helplessly, then raised his feet and walked in the opposite direction.
After getting in the car, Jing Xiao saw her grandma holding the marriage certificate and looking like she couldn't put it down. He couldn't help but joked: "Grandma, if I had known that a marriage certificate would make you so happy, I should have just hired someone to go there." .”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, found Tang Muzhi's WeChat account, and sent her the location of the house and the door password.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just marry anyone? Except for Zhizhi, I don't like anyone else to be my granddaughter-in-law." Mrs. Jing rolled her eyes at him, and then asked, "Where's Zhizhi? Why did you get in the car alone? She Where are the people?”
"She has something to do, so she needs to leave first." Jing Xiao replied casually, and then asked the driver to drive away.
"Oh, how can this child just leave? I haven't even had a word with her yet." Mrs. Jing sighed with a hint of complaint. After a few seconds, she put the marriage certificate into her bag. , and then said, "What's wrong with you as a husband? You don't know how to give her a gift, why are you so inconsiderate now?"
Jing Xiao felt a little speechless and explained nonchalantly: "I transferred money to her and asked her to take a taxi. Besides, I have to go to the company, so I'm not on my way."
"You bastard." Mrs. Jing glared at him angrily, but soon regained her composure and warned, "Be careful. If I know that you dare to bully my precious granddaughter-in-law, I will forgive you." Can’t help you.”
Hearing this, Jing Xiao twitched the corners of his lips and asked suspiciously, "What's so good about her?"
"Zhizhi's is much better. You will know later, so just be satisfied." There was an inexplicable hint of appreciation and pride in Mrs. Jing's voice.
"Grandma, you said you met her in your hometown, but when did you return to Tanzhou?" Jing Xiao suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Grandma, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"You bastard." Mrs. Jing patted his shoulder angrily and scolded, "No matter how big or small, do I still need to report to you where I am going?"
Jing Xiao touched the tip of his nose and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jing snorted and pretended to be displeased and complained: "When I went back to my hometown, you were busy with your crappy company every day and didn't even go back home. How could you care about me when you have time?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Grandma, don't be upset. I did as you said and took her home as your granddaughter-in-law. You will be happier." He said quickly to please. , paused and then said, "Grandma, you also know that I have to take care of my broken company. So many people still depend on me for a living."
"You don't care about the company at home. You have to set up a small company by yourself. You are so busy every day that you can't even see a person." Mrs. Jing glanced sideways at him. After complaining, she persuaded her earnestly, "Axiao, from now on." The Jing family has to be handed over to you, otherwise you should listen to grandma and go back to the company as soon as possible and stop making trouble with your father."
"Grandma, I have a meeting at the company, so I won't see you off. You should be careful on the road." After saying that, Jing Xiao asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about this topic.
Seeing him opening the door and preparing to get out of the car, Mrs. Jing hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab him, sighed, and compromised: "Okay, I don't care about this matter. You push Zhizhi's WeChat to me, and I want to follow you." Granddaughter-in-law, please cultivate your relationship well."
"Grandma, that's not necessary, is it?" Jing Xiao frowned, obviously reluctant.
Mrs. Jing snorted and shook his hand away, "What do you know? Hurry up."
There was no other way, so Jing Xiao had no choice but to push Tang Muzhi's WeChat account to her.
Seeing him turn around and leave, Mrs. Jing immediately put down her phone and raised the volume, "What are you doing? I still have something to say to you."
"Let's talk about it another time." As he said that, he got into a car behind him, closed the door, and asked people to drive away.
"This brat!" Mrs. Jing complained dissatisfiedly as she looked at the taillights of the car that were getting away, and then took the phone again.
Tang Muzhi had just gotten into the taxi when she suddenly heard her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was a verification reminder added by a friend.
Seeing that the note was from Grandma Jing, she paused and quickly passed it.
Before she could think of how to say hello, she saw the screen jump. It was Mrs. Jing who made a voice call to her.
"Hello, Zhizhi." After the call was connected, a gentle and elegant voice came from the receiver.
Tang Mu Zhi hummed, and her eyes instantly turned red, "Grandma Jing."
"Zhizhi, Ah Xiao has been really busy recently. He didn't mean to let you go alone." She explained to her troubled grandson, her voice was extremely gentle, as if it had the magic power of healing, which made people feel sad. My heart feels warm.
Tang Muzhi took a deep breath and tried to suppress the sourness in her heart, "Grandma Jing, I know. I'm on the bus now, so don't worry."
"Okay." Mrs. Jing responded with a smile and warned, "Then please pay attention to safety. Remember to come home with A Xiao on New Year's Day. Grandma will make soup for you with her own hands."
After hearing her self-proclaimed words, Tang Muzhi could no longer hold back. Warm tears welled up from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lips and choked with sobs, and responded in a low voice, " Um."
"Zhizhi, if A Xiao bullies you in the future, just tell me and grandma will make the decision for you."
"Um."
Mrs. Jing kept talking for a long time, and Tang Muzhi listened patiently and kept saying um, okay, yes.
When she was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly called out with a trembling voice, "Grandma..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing responded with a smile, and said with a sweet smile: "My dear child, are you going to do some work? Don't tire yourself. Now that you and A Xiao are married, you can Finish your studies first, don’t worry about making money, let him be a grown man."
"Grandma, although I married him, I still have to work hard on my own. But don't worry, I will graduate well and I won't be tired." Tang Muzhi said slowly and firmly. She didn't want to rely on others, let alone I don’t want to rely on men.
As the old saying goes, mountains can fall if you rely on them, and you can run away if you rely on everyone. Only you are the most reliable.
"Silly girl." Mrs. Jing's voice was full of pity and heartache, and she sighed, "It's okay, you are young, so if you have ambitions and ideals, you should pursue them. Otherwise, when you are my age, even if you have ideals, they will become just a fantasy. .”
Until the call was hung up, Tang Muzhi was reluctant to put down the phone. She gently touched the photo on the screen of the phone, and a smile slowly appeared in her tear-filled eyes.
At noon, she put down the idea of going to see a house with her friends, saying she had something to do at home and kept it vague.
After all, she really didn't know how to explain this ridiculous flash marriage. Could it be that just because Mrs. Jing looked like her grandma when she smiled, she selfishly wanted to experience the feeling of her grandma being around again, so , even if she couldn't be her granddaughter, she would still be willing to be her granddaughter-in-law.
She really couldn't explain this reason.
So Tang Muzhi secretly decided in her heart that no matter who asked her later, the reason for her flash marriage would be: Jing Xiao had a house in Haicheng, and she bought it with full payment. She wanted to have a family, so she married him.
Now that the marriage is over, no matter what, she has a legitimate reason to move out of her stepfather's house, and she can finally give everyone a peaceful world.
When she got home, her mother was cooking in the kitchen, her stepfather went to work, and her brother didn't seem to be at home either.
"Mom, where is Ah Hao?" she asked while standing at the door of the kitchen.
Weng Lu looked at her when she heard the sound, and replied with a smile: "He went to play at a friend's house."
She nodded and said nothing.
Lu Hao has just turned ten, and he is indeed a playful age.
"Zhizhi, don't you have a part-time job today? Why did you come back so early?" Weng Lu couldn't help but ask.
She smiled faintly and replied: "I have something to do temporarily, so I asked for leave."
