Chapter 140 Chinese New Year
On New Year's Eve, every household in Xixia Village was filled with joy and began to hang up lanterns, put up Spring Festival couplets, and set off firecrackers. In the early morning, Tangtang was wearing a bright red down jumpsuit, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Shuya couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw this, as if she had never bought her such clothes. In her opinion, this dress should be from the famous brand "Baby King".
Could it be that her mother-in-law bought it for her? She couldn't believe it. After careful calculation, it seemed that her grandmother had never taken her to buy clothes. It was really a case of the sun rising in the west.
Seeing her mother-in-law busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and instructing the old man to do this and that, Jiang Shuya simply took Tangtang for a walk outside.
When I went out, I saw the old lady Wang from next door squatting in the corner with a bowl in her hand drinking porridge. When she saw Jiang Shuya, she stood up with a smile;
"Oh, how come Tangtang looks so good in this dress? It makes her skin look fairer. It seems my Erya has good taste."
"Ah! Could it be that your Erya bought this?" Jiang Shuya asked.
Old Mrs. Wang wiped her mouth, glanced around, and muttered quietly;
"Yes, my daughter-in-law was having a conflict. Your mother-in-law is too quick to talk, and the news reached my daughter-in-law's ears. So, Erya also bought one for my granddaughter, and the situation finally settled down."
Jiang Shuya understood that this was the case. Wang Erya's gift was also a thank-you gift. Suddenly she could understand that she lived in her mother's house and had to bow her head under someone else's roof.
At this moment, a basin of water was suddenly poured and almost splashed on Jiang Shuya, but it just splashed at her feet. Tangtang in her arms looked at the man with wide eyes. Jiang Shuya subconsciously dodged, but the water still splashed on her trouser legs.
"Zhang Yongzhen, you did it on purpose." Jiang Shuya was very angry.
Cao Gang, who was pasting Spring Festival couplets on the door frame of the main house in the yard, looked back and frowned. Knowing that his wife was going to make trouble again, he picked up the phone and started calling.
"Jiang Shuya, open your eyes and look. This is the door of my house. I can splash as much water as I want. What's it to you?"
Zhang Yongzhen rolled his eyes with disdain and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. It's really unlucky this morning. An unlucky star has appeared."
Old Lady Wang, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to see it;
"Cao's daughter-in-law, you threw water on them, but why did you curse them? They are a family that is living well. How can you frame them like this?"
"Auntie Wang, you should go home and take care of your family business instead of messing around here."
Zhang Yongzhen glared at Jiang Shuya fiercely while speaking. When she saw her put down the candy and walked towards her, she put her hands on her hips and said viciously;
"Do you want to do it? Come on, I'm worried that I don't have a chance. Today I will tear you apart, you bitch."
Seeing this, Old Lady Wang quickly grabbed Jiang Shuya, shook her head, and whispered;
"Xiaoya, don't make things unpleasant during the New Year. She's so big, you'll suffer."
Jiang Shuya looked at Old Lady Wang gratefully and smiled;
"Auntie Wang, you can't avoid her. She has disliked me for a long time."
Old lady Wang still held on tightly and refused to let go. At this moment, Wang Hongjuan appeared behind her and stepped forward to grab Old lady Wang.
"Mom, we haven't put up the Spring Festival couplets at home yet. Dad wants you to come and mix the paste and take out the lanterns you bought yesterday."
After Wang Hongjuan finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yongzhen with a smile, ignored Jiang Shuya the whole time, and pushed, pulled and dragged Old Lady Wang back home.
"Jiang Shuya, go ahead. I'm waiting. Let's see who will protect you today. With your small body, don't blame me for being merciless."
Zhang Yongzhen had a provocative look on his face, but Cao Gang behind him didn't care at all about his wife's arrogance.
At this time, a dull and cold voice came from behind:
"I am protecting her today. Am I qualified?"
Huang Minghao's sleepy eyes seemed as if he had not yet woken up. He walked over with one hand in his pocket and looked at Zhang Yongzhen. His handsome face was full of ruffian spirit.
When Zhang Yongzhen saw that it was Huang Minghao, he stood there in a daze and stammered;
"You, when did you come back?"
Huang Minghao's eyebrows relaxed, he glanced at Tangtang who was squatting on the ground playing, and hugged Jiang Shuya teasingly;
"What? I'm back, do I have to report to you? It seems that you have a big prejudice against my wife! Let me see how you beat my wife."
Zhang Yongzhen was obviously panicked, knowing clearly that this man was the best fighter in Xixia Village, and even his cousin was no match for him.
Then he tilted his head, smiled, and stammered, "You heard me wrong. I didn't mean to fight her. It was just a misunderstanding."
Jiang Shuya saw Zhang Yongzhen's face suddenly changed into a cowardly look, and suddenly felt bored. She pushed Huang Minghao away, walked to Tangtang, bent down to pick her up, and sneered at Zhang Yongzhen; "You two can chat slowly, I won't accompany you anymore."
When Cao Gang saw Huang Minghao, he walked up to him and handed him a cigarette and greeted him in a familiar manner, and the two soon began to chat.
Zhang Yongzhen, who was standing aside, felt lost when she saw the man she once obsessed with right in front of her.
Time flies. In the past few years, she has let it go. In fact, the current choice is better. Cao Gang obeys her in everything. There are no trivial matters at home for her to worry about. He tries to sit in the front row. The only shortcoming of such a man is that he is not good-looking enough.
She has been married to Xixia Village for two years now. After getting to know the character of Huang Minghao's family, she feels that she is lucky.
Fortunately, Huang Minghao rejected her at the beginning. She felt unwilling to accept the fact that he rejected her because of Jiang Shuya. The seeds of unwillingness took root in her heart, making her lose face and unable to greet Jiang Shuya with a smile no matter what.
Jiang Shuya, who was tidying up the bookshelf at home, piled the books she had moved out yesterday on the sofa in the living room. In one of the compartments, she found a lot of letters.
In fact, she knew about it before, but thought it was something very important to Huang Minghao, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Yesterday, when the stack of letters fell, she accidentally discovered that some of them were from Cao Fang's name. As long as the letters about Cao Fang had not been opened, it was obvious that Huang Minghao didn't care.
Jiang Shuya knew this person well. She had admired Huang Minghao since school. It was just Cao Fang's wishful thinking and a minor episode. However, there was an anonymous letter in it.
All the letters were opened. Jiang Shuya took one out and took a look. The person's name was Ren Jing. Based on the affectionate content in the letter, Jiang Shuya concluded that this person might be Huang Minghao's girlfriend of three years.
Driven by curiosity and wanting to give an explanation to my past life, I read all the letters related to Ren Jing.
From the letter, it was proved that Huang Minghao took the initiative to reply to many letters, visited Ren Jing's home in person, and was recognized by her parents.
But the clue was lost in the last letter. That letter was obviously thicker than the others. When the letter was pulled out, a 7-inch photo fell out of it.
