Chapter 21

Shen Cheng helped the villagers rebuild their homes. Because Da Mu Village was located in a low-lying area, it was prone to flooding.

To avoid this problem, the soldiers chopped trees, sawed wood, and piled up stones, just to move the villagers’ homes to the hillside.

It was getting late, Shen Cheng drove his jeep and went to the small town.

He owed his life to that female doctor, he should go and thank her personally.

It was also his fault that he was so cowardly that day, he didn’t dare to go and see the female doctor personally.

Thinking about this, Shen Cheng unknowingly arrived at the small town, following his memory, he went to De Yuan Clinic.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, he was stunned because the front door of De Yuan Clinic was already closed.

He had no choice but to go back to Da Mu Village first.

Based on their speed, they still had a few days before they went back to the army.

The day after tomorrow, his former subordinate was getting married, and Shen Cheng had to help pick up the bride.

On the other side, Jiang Nianzi finished work early today.

She spent two yuan and fifty fen to buy the basic herbs for making whitening cream from Zhang Grandpa.

She made three bottles of whitening cream at the clinic.

She wasn’t sure if she could sell it, so she only made a small amount first.

Yesterday, she taught Jiang Cheng to recognize a few herbs.

They were the herbs they had collected in the mountains.

If she taught him to recognize them slowly, Jiang Cheng might not remember, but he had collected a lot yesterday, so he naturally recognized them.

Jiang Nianzi told him to go up the mountain and collect the herbs he recognized when he had time.

After collecting them and drying them, she would help sell them.

Jiang Cheng was very enthusiastic.

As soon as she got home, she saw a lot of herbs spread out on a winnowing basket in the yard.

Jiang Nianzi went over to take a look, although they weren’t precious herbs, there were a lot of them.

She had a smile on her face, as she walked towards the house, she called out: “Brother, you collected so many herbs today…”

Seeing the few people in the house, Jiang Nianzi’s voice stopped.

Her mom was sitting in the house, along with the village matchmaker, Zhang Cui Fang, and a woman she didn’t recognize.

The woman was dressed quite brightly.

Of course, it was only bright in this era.

Ding Hongmei was stern, seeing Jiang Nianzi come back, she said: “Zizi, go back to your room.”

Zhang Cui Fang quickly stood up: “Oh, our Zizi is back. Why are you covering your face with that coarse cloth, quickly take it off and let your aunt have a look. Our Zizi is so beautiful.”

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Jiang Nianzi’s face mask.

Just kidding, Jiang Nianzi was a martial arts champion, even if she wasn’t as skilled as before in this life, she wasn’t someone you could just casually touch.

Especially since she was on guard.

So as soon as Zhang Cui Fang reached out, Jiang Nianzi stopped her.

She grabbed her wrist and pulled it, at the same time, she took a step back.

“Aunt Zhang, please mind your manners.”

Her voice turned cold.

This scene, needless to say, was about to be a matchmaking session.

If it wasn’t because she was concerned about her mom’s reputation in the village, Jiang Nianzi would have just brushed her off.

What kind of manners, reaching out to pull someone’s face mask.

Her attempt to pull the mask failed, Zhang Cui Fang laughed but her heart wasn’t amused. She thought, this girl’s strength is quite strong, she even squeezed her hand.

But her face still had a bright smile: “It’s my fault, aunt was careless. Zizi, your aunt is waiting for you.”

“Aunt?”

“Yes, your Gao Aunt…”

The one called Gao Aunt was the woman dressed brightly, with a slightly arrogant posture.

“You’re my son’s classmate?”

Classmate?

Jiang Nianzi recalled the prelude of this book, and she actually remembered something useful.

When the original owner was in high school, there was a male classmate who was obsessed with her, called Gao Wen Guang.

Gao Wen Guang was very confident, he always thought that Jiang Nianzi didn’t like him, and that she was playing hard to get, after all, his family’s conditions were good.

It was said that his parents were both workers in the county.

Thinking about this, Jiang Nianzi’s face turned cold, of course, she was wearing a mask, so others couldn’t see her expression.

But her tone wasn’t very polite: “Who is your son? I don’t know him.”

After saying this, she directly said to Ding Hongmei: “Mom, I’m going back to my room to rest.”

“Okay, hurry up.” Ding Hongmei urged her, at the same time, she said to the arrogant woman: “Did you hear that? My daughter doesn’t know your son. She’s not interested in matchmaking, quickly leave.”

It’s said that a guest who comes to your door is a god, if it was someone else, Ding Hongmei wouldn’t be so impolite.

But this woman, she wanted to come to the door to matchmake, and she had such a condescending attitude, go away, I’m too lazy to entertain you.

Hearing Ding Hongmei say this, Gao Chun Hong frowned unhappily, she turned to Zhang Cui Fang and said: “Didn’t you tell her about our family’s conditions?”

That tone made Ding Hongmei laugh, she simply stood up and raised her broom to sweep the dust on the floor: “Pfft, what kind of conditions are you so arrogant about? Even if you have more money, we don’t rely on your charity to eat. Stop acting so arrogant in front of me, quickly leave.”

Gao Chun Hong had never been insulted like this, she was immediately angry, her face turned green.

But her son was determined to have this Jiang Nianzi.

He was making a fuss at home, she couldn’t bear to see her son starve, so she came.

She thought that the other party would definitely beg her to marry her son, but she didn’t expect them to not only not flatter her, but also chase her away with a broom.

Gao Chun Hong was immediately angry, she yelled towards Jiang Nianzi’s room: “Jiang Nianzi, you shameless little slut, you don’t like my son but you still use his money. If you don’t like my son, you better return the money. During those three years in high school, I gave my son at least fifty yuan, you return the money to me.”

What?

Jiang Nianzi heard this, she pulled open the door of her room: “What do you mean? When did I ever use your son’s money?”

“You’re still denying it? My son told me, when you two were in high school, he gave you his allowance every day. If you don’t like my son, please return the money. During those three years in high school, I gave my son at least fifty yuan, you return the money to me.”

Jiang Nianzi didn’t know about the original owner’s past, but in the book, the original owner was the male lead’s white moonlight, her character and everything was supposed to be no problem.

She didn’t believe that the original owner would borrow money from her so-called son.

But she couldn’t be sure.

If the original owner really took her son’s money, she definitely wouldn’t shirk her responsibility.

So she didn’t say it too definitively.

“Where is your son? I’ll go see him tomorrow. I want to ask him, when did he ever give me that much money?”

Gao Chun Hong’s purpose was to make her go on a blind date with her son, hearing her say she would go, she naturally wouldn’t press on the matter of the money.

But her son was stupid, Gao Chun Hong definitely had to follow.

“You come to the county tomorrow, go to the state-owned hotel.”

“Alright.”

Gao Chun Hong and Zhang Cui Fang left, Ding Hongmei was furious.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Nianzi holding her back, she would have picked up a stool and smashed it on them.

Hearing Jiang Nianzi say she would go to the county tomorrow, Ding Hongmei was very worried: “Zizi, did you really take her son’s money? Tell Mom the truth, if you did, Mom won’t blame you, we’ll just return the money.”

After this happened, Jiang Nianzi thought that Ding Hongmei would at least blame her.

She didn’t expect her to only worry about her.
