Chapter 61: Marriage is not good

The girl who was not well-married and smiling made the man who was originally thinking of saying goodbye forget what he wanted to say for a moment.

He looked at Jiang Mingyue dully and handed the bowl over numbly.

Manyue, bring the sugar,” Jiang Mingyue ordered while adding water to Zhao Tiezhu’s bowl.

She lowered her eyes, unable to see the gentle smile in her eyes, but the gentle and peaceful atmosphere exuded around her provided a sense of calm.

Zhao Tiezhu felt a bit lost.

Wife. A big hand with wheat-colored skin rested on the back of her porcelain-white hand.

Gu Dongqing had a slight smile on his lips and no other emotions could be seen between his eyebrows.

He took the teapot from Jiang Mingyue’s hand and coaxed her softly, “Don’t do heavy work if you’re pregnant.”

These words made Jiang Mingyue roll her eyes again. She glanced at Gu Dongqing shyly and turned around, leaving Zhao Tiezhu to have dinner at home.

Zhao Tiezhu shook his head quickly, “No, no, I’ll go home right away.” He had only helped out as a favor and would never stay for food.

After quickly drinking the water in the bowl, he put it down and turned around to run away. It seemed that if he moved slower, someone would force him to stay and not let him leave.

In the blink of an eye, he dashed into the Jiang family’s yard and rushed to the gate.

Jiang Mingyue…

Everyone was stunned. “Is our home a dragon’s den or a tiger’s den?” She had doubts about the nature of her home for the first time.

Gu Dongqing laughed and reached out to hold her hand. “Don’t talk nonsense, wife. Our home is obviously the warmest harbor.”

“Really?” Then why did Zhao Tiezhu run so fast? Jiang Mingyue couldn’t understand.

What do you want to eat? I’ll cook,” Gu Dongqing changed the subject.

Jiang Mingyue followed his words and thought about the meal for the evening.

In Kaoshan Village, which is more than 90 kilometers away from Qianjin Village, outside the Hu family at the entrance of the village, on the road not far away, five-year-old Hu Yaya was carrying a small basket on her back.

On the basket was a bundle of dry corn stalks that she carried back home to light the fire.

Beside her walked a thin woman, carrying a basket with corn stalks tied up on her back. That big bundle of corn stalks was bigger than the Eight Immortals table on which they ate at home.

On top of the corn stalks, there were several bundles of sweet potato vines. For a person who was not fat, carrying such a large bundle looked particularly daunting.

Hey, from the Hu family, you are still working, and why don’t you go to your mother’s house for a wedding reception? You didn’t go when your second sister got married for the first time. If you don’t go this time, you might have to wait until she gets married for the third time.

Are you going again?” Liu Sanchun, who was approaching, saw Jiang Meiyue and said with a sinister smile.

In Kaoshan Village, Liu Sanchun was known as a lazy and slippery person. The person she disliked most was Jiang Meiyue, who never complained about anything she did and never complained about being tired.

They were all daughters-in-law married from villages outside, and she couldn’t figure out what Jiang Meiyue was doing after being so capable.

Jiang Meiyue knew Liu Sanchun’s temperament; she was like a piece of meat on a hob shameless and skinless.

Normally, Jiang Meiyue would not pay attention to Liu Sanchun, but her words were trying to undermine Mingyue, which made Jiang Meiyue unbearable.

How many times my sister gets married is her business. You don’t need to worry about it.

Jiang Meiyue, are you saying that I am meddling in my own business?”

“Isn’t it?” Jiang Meiyue had been working all day today. She was tired and hungry, and facing Liu Sanchun, a person who had nothing to do but look for trouble, made her even angrier.

Liu Sanchun was just thinking about scolding someone when she heard Mrs. Hu’s voice shouting at the top of her lungs, “Old ladies, if you don’t come in when you’re home, why are you lazing around outside?

Why don’t you come back to cook? Do you want to starve the old woman and your family to death?”

Mrs. Hu’s voice was rough and full of energy, matching her strong figure perfectly. Jiang Meiyue pursed her lips and lowered her head without answering.

“Mom,” Hu Yaya gently held Jiang Meiyue’s hand with her little hand, her big eyes full of fear, “Let’s go back quickly, or we will hit someone again.”

Jiang Meiyue held her daughter’s hand tightly. Looking at her sensible daughter made her feel sad and uncomfortable.

Liu Sanchun laughed rudely when she saw this, “Oh, I forgot. It’s not that Jiang Meiyue doesn’t want to go back to her parents’ home; it’s that you don’t dare to go back.”

Jiang Meiyue, you said you can work, but you work like an old cow in the fields every day. What’s the point of working so hard to support the Hu family all by yourself, but you don’t even dare to go back if something happens to your parents’ family? Tsk, tsk, I really don’t like you,” Liu Sanchun mocked as she walked away.

Jiang Meiyue held Hu Yaya’s hand and gently took it away. Hu Yaya felt a little hurt. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Meiyue, “Mom…” There was also some worry in her voice.

Jiang Meiyue came back to her senses and smiled at Hu Yaya, “Yaya, do you want to go to your grandmother’s house?”

“Yes.” Hu Yaya definitely wanted to go.

Grandma, my aunt is good to Yaya, and Yaya likes them.” Children can’t lie about their preferences. She will be close to whoever treats her well; this is her nature.

But Mom, can we go back? My grandma will be angry, my aunt will be angry, and dad…” Hu Yaya raised her little face, her eyes full of worry.

Jiang Meiyue smiled and touched her daughter’s dry hair, saying softly, “It’s okay, Mom will take you back.”

Go back to where?” Hu Wenguang’s voice interjected from the side. He frowned and looked at his wife and daughter with disapproval.

Meiyue, what’s wrong with you today? You come back so late from work, and you don’t rush into the house to cook when you get home. Everyone in the family is hungry.”

Hu Wenguang blamed it, of course. Over the years, Jiang Meiyue had really heard too much of this.

At this moment, she still had a large bundle of corn stalks on her back, and her daughter next to her was also carrying corn stalks in a basket.

As a husband and father, Hu Wenguang not only failed to understand the hard work of his wife and daughter, but scolded them immediately.

Jiang Meiyue laughed angrily. She raised her eyes and looked at the no longer young man in front of her, with a faint smile on her lips. “I’m not the only one in the family. If I work in the fields, the others can’t cook?”

No, Meiyue, what do you mean by that? Do you mean you want my mother to cook? Don’t forget, you are the daughter-in-law of the old Hu family.”

It is your responsibility and obligation to serve your parents-in-law and take care of your brothers and sisters. Do you know that it is treasonous for you to say this?”

Hu Wenguang was Jiang Meiyue’s classmate in junior high school. When he was in junior high school, Hu Wenguang pursued Jiang Meiyue. If this were not the case, Jiang Meiyue would not have married into the mountains of Kaoshan Village.

When she first got married, she thought it didn’t matter that the Hu family’s conditions were a bit poor. She was not afraid of hardship.

If they worked together, the family would definitely get better and better.

But after so many years, she finally saw it clearly.

This home will never get better at all.

Treason?
