Chapter 10

Aunt Liu saw a few people talking and said with a smile: “Let me introduce it to you. This is…”

Zhang Hai interrupted directly: “Aunt Liu, no need to introduce, I came at the wrong time today.”

Aunt Liu saw that Zhang Hai looked unhappy and asked hurriedly, “Comrade Zhang, what’s wrong with you?”

Zhao Qing, who was originally looking sarcastic, changed her expression instantly. She knew that her daughter was going to have a blind date today. The other party was a very nice young man from the steel plant, and the location was arranged at Aunt Li’s house, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning to buy a beautiful hairband for her daughter. Who would have thought that she would run into Jiang Ci and the young man? The two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, which inevitably led to misunderstandings.

If you want to blame someone, blame Jiang Ci, the jinx. She has a vixen-like appearance and her eyes give off electric shocks when she sees a man.

Just as Zhao Qing was about to explain, Zhang Hai said directly, “Aunt Liu, please introduce me. I don’t think a mother who loves to spread rumors can raise a good child.” After that, he looked at Jiang Ci, “Comrade Jiang, which floor do you live on?”

Jiang Ci said: “The stairs on the third floor.”

Zhang Hai ran into the building carrying the box and came downstairs in less than two minutes. He said goodbye to Aunt Liu and was about to leave.

Aunt Liu, who didn’t know what was going on, grabbed Zhang Hai’s sleeve and said, “Comrade Zhang, you’ve confused me. Please explain clearly.”

Zhang Hai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He simply couldn’t say such words.

Zhao Qing saw that something was not right, so she quickly interrupted, “Old Liu, there is a misunderstanding here. It’s nothing if we talk it out. This is just a blind date, not a marriage. We are just meeting each other.”

Aunt Liu glanced at Zhang Hai and said, “That’s right. There’s nothing to hide. I just meant well and did good things, but in the end I ended up scolding people.”

Zhang Hai saw that Zhao Qing was about to confuse right and wrong. He was furious and said to Zhao Qing directly: “Auntie, stop confusing right and wrong. You were the one who spread the rumor just now, and now you are the one who is generous. I am young and cannot argue with you, but you can’t throw dirty water on me.” He looked at Aunt Liu, “I just ran into Comrade Jiang at the post office and helped her move something on the way. The mother of this blind date actually said that I ruined the military marriage and almost pointed at my nose and said that I was a slut. Aunt Liu, you can judge this matter yourself. I’m leaving now.”

Zhao Qing’s face turned red and white, and she quickly argued, “Young man, nowadays you need to have evidence when you speak and do things. I am so old, why would I slander you?”

Jiang Ci said directly: “Aunt Zhao, you are old and your memory is not good. You forgot what you just said. Then I will just treat it as someone farted, okay.”

Zhao Qing said, “Why are you cursing?”

Jiang Ci smiled and said, “Oh, you admit it.”

“You you you!” Zhao Qing pointed at Jiang Ci angrily and was speechless for a long time.

Aunt Liu also understood the general situation after watching the conversation. She glared at Zhao Qing and said, “Old Zhao, what’s wrong with you? How can you still talk nonsense at such an old age? You can’t just say such nonsense.”

Zhao Qing quickly protested, “We have been friends for many years, why don’t you believe me? These two are gossiping.”

Jiang Ci sneered, “Aunt Zhao, how can you say that I am the one who suffered the loss in this matter? I deliberately suffered the loss and falsely accused you? What good will this do me?”

Aunt Liu believed Jiang Ci. She looked at Zhao Qing and said angrily, “I was kind enough to introduce a guy to your daughter, but you did this. If you wanted to go to the countryside, you should have told me earlier. You’re really nice.” After saying that, she was about to leave angrily.

Zhao Qing quickly chased after him to explain.

Aunt Liu didn’t listen. She shook her arm away and tried to distance the two of them righteously, saying, “I am doing this because of our relationship over the years. Otherwise, I would have sent you to school.”

Jiang Ci looked at Zhao Qing’s servile appearance, snorted with disdain, and went home with the child.

After returning home, Jiang Ci opened the packages from her husband’s family first. Inside were two boxes of malted milk, two large boxes of imported chocolate, three strips of bacon, four bags of pressed duck, and the rare southern fruit orange. Jiang Ci peeled one and tasted it. It was so sour. She thought it would taste better if it was left for a while.

The child in her arms saw Jiang Ci eating, and he drooled, waved his little arms, and babbled.

Jiang Ci smiled and said, “Little greedy cat, you can’t eat these things yet.”

The little baby in my arms seemed to understand, blinking his big eyes and babbling.

Jiang Ci’s heart melted when she saw the adorable little look. She originally wanted to make some malted milk for Duoduo, but she had no experience in raising children and didn’t know if a three-month-old baby could take malted milk. After thinking about it, she decided to give up. With the current medical conditions, it would be troublesome if the baby got sick from eating malted milk.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Jiang Yaozu panted and shouted, “Second sister, open the door quickly!”

Jiang Ci opened the door and looked at Jiang Yaozu, whose face was red. “School isn’t over yet.”

Jiang Yaozu rushed in and said quickly, “Don’t talk about this for now. My uncle is here with my eldest sister. They have sticks in their hands. They are definitely here to beat you.”

“Hit me?” Jiang Ci couldn’t believe it. It was broad daylight, and they were in the family building. How dare they come to the house with sticks and beat up the family members?

Jiang Yaozu nodded, “Yes, they are definitely here to beat you up, let’s block the door and don’t open it.”

Jiang Ci said “oh” lightly and said, “Just fight, who’s afraid of who?” In the end, it’s still unclear who will suffer the loss.

Jiang Yaozu was worried about Jiang Ci when he saw how calm she was. “Sister, why are you reacting like this? Our uncle hurts when he hits people.”

Jiang Ci looked at Jiang Yaozu’s worried expression. She didn’t expect that this kid had such a conscience. She said, “Okay, then close the door.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yaozu gave Jiang Ci a look: See, I didn’t lie to you.

Jiang Ci didn’t say anything, but gave the other person a thumbs up.

Li Chuncheng and Jiang Fei knocked on the door for a while but heard no response. Li Chuncheng said, “Let’s go. She may not be here.”

Jiang Fei knocked again, “She can’t do anything with the child, she must be at home.”

After knocking for a while, no one answered. Li Chuncheng said, “It’s no use waiting here. Let’s go.”

Jiang Fei said angrily: “I don’t believe she will never come back in this lifetime. I will not leave. I will wait for her here.”

Li Chuncheng thought for a moment and said, “Okay, you wait here. I’ll go back to have a meal and come back later.”

Jiang Fei agreed, and after Li Chuncheng left, she shouted at the door, “Jiang Ci, I know you are in there, come out quickly.”

The soundproofing of the house is not good now. Even Jiang Ci and Jiang Yaozu can clearly hear Jiang Fei’s voice in the bedroom. At this moment, the two are sharing an orange. Jiang Yaozu muttered while eating the orange: “It’s been almost an hour. Why hasn’t my elder sister left yet? I’ve never seen her so perseverant in doing anything else.”

Jiang Ci finished her orange, clapped her hands and said, “Who cares? You look after the kids. I’ll go cook.”

The kitchen is next to the balcony, and the balcony is close to the door. Jiang Fei will definitely hear any sound. Jiang Yaozu hurriedly stopped her and said, “Sister, wait a little longer. My eldest sister will definitely leave if she can’t wait any longer.”

Jiang Ci snorted, “I don’t care about her.”

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and walked directly to the kitchen. There was a ping-pong sound. Jiang Fei heard it from outside the door and shouted, “Jiang Ci, I know you are in there, come out.”

Jiang Ci was too lazy to pay attention to her. After preparing the meal, she called Jiang Yaozu to come and eat. No matter how much Jiang Fei screamed heart-wrenchingly outside the door, as soon as it was quiet outside, Jiang Ci would make some noise again, which would make Jiang Fei scream again in anger.

After four hours of rubbing, Jiang Fei finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She knocked on the door painfully and said, “Jiang Ci, open the door for me. I want to go to the toilet.”
