Chapter 7: Heartache

As the bicycle came within a meter of her, Jiang Mingyue turned pale and screamed, clutching her head and crouching down.

The screech of tires on mud announced the bicycle’s abrupt stop, just an arm’s length away from her.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head, staring blankly at the man whose long legs were planted on the ground, his arms resting on the handlebars as he looked at her with amusement.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Mingyue, who had died once, realized the man before her was no ordinary person. She calmly looked away, lowering her head.

“Dong…Brother Dong…”

Gu Dongqing watched the woman who had hit her head again, tutting as he turned his bike around.

“Get on.”

“I…”

Hurry up, don’t be so nagging.” Gu Dongqing’s tone was not friendly, even a little harsh, “I don’t care what you want to do to the Dong family, that’s your business.”

I’ll take you to Shibanqiao, and I’ll do one good deed every day.”

Jiang Mingyue looked at the broad back in front of her, then at her feet, and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

She rejected Gu Dongqing.

“No need, I…”

Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Dong Chengcai your true identity?” Gu Dongqing turned around, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Jiang Mingyue tightened her grip on the strap of her schoolbag.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, don’t treat me as your enemy. I told you, I’m just doing good deeds every day. As long as you don’t affect my good deeds, I don’t know anything.”

“What do you think?”

In the end, Jiang Mingyue still sat down, getting on the bike.

She grabbed both sides of the seat with both hands, biting her lip and enduring the bumps without a word.

When her butt was almost numb, they finally arrived at Shibanqiao.

Gu Dongqing stopped the bicycle, she got off, and he rode away. From beginning to end, they didn’t exchange a word.

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at the Dong family courtyard in the distance. On the right was Gu Dongqing’s courtyard.

She couldn’t help but think of the tense muscles when the man was carrying her just now, which was indeed scary enough.

He was not a person with strong limbs and a simple mind. On the contrary, he was very smart and could see that she was acting in front of the Dong family…

If he could really do what he said, it was best to mind his own business. If he meddled in his own business, don’t blame her.

Hey, isn’t this the Dong family’s new daughter-in-law? Are you back from the village?”

A neighbor from the front said, interrupting her train of thought.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head and smiled shyly at the other party, “Hello, Aunt Zhang.”

Zhang Chunying ouched at the sound, “Do you know me?” “Well, my mother-in-law told you.” “Your mother-in-law.”

“What did she say?”

Zhang Chunying and Duan Ping didn’t deal with each other very well. She was curious about what Duan Ping said to Jiang Mingyue.

“Did she say bad things about me?”

Jiang Mingyue shook her head repeatedly, her black and white eyes widening with panic.

No, my mother-in-law didn’t say anything. She didn’t say anything bad about Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang, please don’t think about it.”

Jiang Mingyue’s expression at this moment said it was absolutely impossible for people not to think about it.

And after she finished explaining, she walked towards Dong’s house in a panic.

“I’m going home. I’m leaving Aunt Zhang first.”

The fleeing figure was already silently announcing to Zhang Chunying that her guess was right.

This wasn’t because Jiang Mingyue deliberately misled Zhang Chunying.

In fact, Duan Ping had made a lot of enemies around here. She usually offended her neighbors by relying on the fact that she was the wife of the deputy mayor.

Zhang Chunying hated Duan Ping in her heart.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t need Zhang Chunying to do something to Duan Ping now.

She slowly sowed the seeds in the hearts of these neighbors, just waiting for Dong Jianguo to fall.

At that time, everyone would push down the wall, and everyone would step on the Dong family!

She came to the door of Dong’s house and looked at the courtyard door in front of her, which was no different from the Gu’s house next door, and felt coldly in her heart.

Dong Jianghui pretended to be poor and sold himself out.

The food and clothing at home were poor, and even the houses were no different from those of nearby neighbors.

But she knew that Dong Jianguo hid a lot of money.

In her previous life, when she was a lonely soul after her death, she once saw with her own eyes that Dong Jianguo brought back a box of money from outside.

Inside the box were brand new hundred-yuan bills, well bundled. She didn’t know how many there were.

Jiang Mingyue’s soul had been trapped in Dong’s house, and she couldn’t get out. She didn’t know where the money came from.

But what was certain was that this money was not clean.

For her in this life, Dong Jianguo’s box of money became the key to her bringing down the Dong family.

“What are you doing at the door?”

The Dong family’s courtyard door was opened, and Duan Ping stood at the door, looking at Jiang Mingyue with a dissatisfied look on her face.

At this time, both her attitude and the expression on her face were completely different from when she went to Qianjin Village.

Yes, your daughter-in-law has been called back, why don’t you handle it well?

Why don’t you come in and cook?

Duan Ping yelled angrily.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes and agreed obediently.

“I’m going to cook.”

Be quick. I didn’t bring you into my house just so you could be tyrannical.”

After Duan Ping said that, she turned around and entered the house.

Jiang Mingyue also walked in.

Dinner was simple.

Brown rice porridge, boiled sweet potato leaves, and steamed buns with wild vegetables.

Dong Chengcai came in and took a look, turned around and left when he saw the food on the table. Dong Jianguo had dinner at work and did not come back.

As for Dong Yumei, she was also sent to Duan Ping’s family.

So there were only Duan Ping and Jiang Mingyue on the table.

Duan Ping frowned and took two mouthfuls of brown rice porridge. She cursed and blamed Jiang Mingyue for being incompetent and making such unpalatable rice.

Jiang Mingyue sat there with her head lowered like a daughter-in-law, without making any answer.

Duan Ping placed the bowl heavily on the table, raised her sleeves and wiped her mouth, then turned and left the kitchen.

Jiang Mingyue was alone in the kitchen, picking up dry porridge to eat. She didn’t dislike brown rice either.

In her previous life, she was conceived on her wedding night, and she might already have one in her belly in this life.

Thinking of the two unborn children, she had to eat more no matter what.

The love between mother and child that was not fulfilled in the previous life would definitely not be missed again in this life.

Dong Chengcai passed by the kitchen door and frowned slightly when he saw Jiang Mingyue sitting alone at the table, slowly drinking porridge and eating sweet potato leaves.

But he didn’t say anything and turned around and walked out the door.

“Where are you going again?”

Duan Ping asked immediately when she saw her son going out.

Dong Chengcai stopped, feeling a little bored with his mother, “Let’s go out to eat.”

Eat…” Duan Ping started, and immediately lowered her voice, “If you speak louder, you’re afraid that the village girl won’t hear you, right?”

“No, Mom, I don’t understand. Is it worth it for the whole family to suffer in order to temper her?”

Before Jiang Mingyue got married, their family’s life consisted of eating meat every once in a while. Killing chicken.

When Jiang Mingyue got married, his mother said that she wanted to temper Jiang Mingyue’s temperament and make her endure hardships and stand hard work.

He thought about it and agreed.

But a few meals would be enough, right? If she eats this oilless food for a long time, isn’t she afraid that her family members will collapse?

Besides, he felt that Jiang Mingyue’s temperament didn’t need to be tempered.

Do you feel sorry for her?” Duan Ping lowered her voice and continued in a tone that only mother and son could hear: “Don’t forget, she is the woman who cuckolded you.”
