good old days

Chapter 365 She must be someone else’s stepmother

Although Chen Xiuyun said yesterday that he didn't need to pay so much, Zhou Ping ordered the sewing machine and radio in the capital and shipped them to the commune by train. After meeting Chen Xiuyun, he gave these things to her family as betrothal gifts.

It was already decided, and there was no room for Chen Xiuyun to refuse.

His family could look down on Jiang Yuzhu's natal family, but it was unnecessary. Their children only got married once, and it was the right way to get married in a lively and peaceful manner.

Compared with Jiang Baoqin, the eldest daughter-in-law of Song Wenxing's family, Jiang Yuzhu was more than a hundred times stronger.

Although the mother's family only has one half-adopted son, the sisters and brothers-in-law are all up to par. Even if the family's financial resources are poor now, they will be able to do the same in the future.

Considering all aspects, Jiang Yuzhu was actually not a bad candidate for daughter-in-law.

Jiang Yuzhu's personality is somewhat similar to that of his lover. They are both strong-willed people at heart. He believes that if they get along for a long time, his lover will not always hate this daughter-in-law.

Zhou Ping and Zhou Qi had limited vacation time, so they hurried back after they agreed on their marriage.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't go home for more than a year, so she spent more time at home.

Chen Xiuyun was still thinking about her little girl and wanted to wait until Jiang Yuzhu left to bring more vegetables that could be stored, such as the potatoes that had just arrived this year.

I know my little girl doesn’t like to eat, but doesn’t she have no choice?
The people in the village were idle after work, and the courtyard of Chen Xiuyun's house became a lively gathering place. They asked how much money the Zhou family gave in addition to sewing machines and radios, where Jiang Yuzhu would live in the capital in the future, and so on.

Even if they don't know where the capital is, it doesn't stop them from joining in the fun and finding out.

Of course, there are also those who make sarcastic remarks.

"I said Xiuyun, you just shouldn't have adopted Xiaochuan. Your daughters have all gone to college, and three daughters who have gone to college are as good as one son from another family. If you had known that your daughter was so promising, why would you have wanted Xiaochuan? Isn’t it just a drag? Otherwise, which daughter would you follow to enjoy the happiness?"

The speaker didn't care about Xiaochuan's intentions at all. Xiaochuan clenched his fists and thought to himself: "I will also take the college entrance examination in the future. It won't be a drag!"

Chen Xiuyun glanced at the aunt, knowing that her eyes were green with jealousy, and said unkindly: "My daughter, who has been admitted to college, will stand up to your three sons who have not been admitted to college. It is not a burden. It’s not you who has the final say, you just keep your eyes open and wait to see what kind of life I will live in the future.”

Whoever's children are promising and whose words are strong will be the one whom other onlookers will prefer in their hearts.

Chen Xiuyun is now the toughest person in the village. No matter how arrogant her attitude is, people will not think that she is showing off to the sky. After all, the facts show that her daughter is really up to date.There's nothing the guy can do except say mean things.

In the duty room of the girls' dormitory of Huaqing University, Chen Jinhua's biological mother went to see her fourth daughter, Chen Qiuhua, early in the morning.

As we get older, no matter how energetic we are on weekdays, if something is on our mind, we will not be able to sleep at night.

She stood at the door of the dormitory, searching the area with her eyes slightly, trying to find Wang Sumei's daughter in a red skirt through her eldest son's description yesterday.

When Chen Qiuhua came to school to work, he saw his mother waiting at the door and wondered, "Mom, why don't you go in? Why are you here so early?"

The old lady made a face, "Is it still early? You don't usually come to school at this hour? Shouldn't you live in the duty room? Do you go to work like this every day? What kind of work attitude is this?"

Chen Qiuhua was speechless, "Students are on vacation, can they be the same as before?" Can't she go home secretly?Can’t you substitute shifts with others?

Chen Qiuhua walked in and saw that her mother didn't follow her, and she didn't know what she was looking at at the door, so she asked.The old lady snorted and walked inside.

After entering the house and closing the door, the old lady sat down opposite the duty window, wanting to have a clear look at everyone who passed by.

"Your eldest brother saw Wang Sumei in your school yesterday, and there was a young woman in a red dress who called her mother. You have been in school for so long and you haven't seen Wang Sumei?"

The name Wang Sumei was too old, and it took Chen Qiuhua a while to realize who her mother was talking about.

Recalling the thin and frail Wang Sumei who always lowered her head and looked unflattering, Chen Qiuhua frowned, "Can't you? Did brother see it wrong?"

The old lady's eyes widened, "That's her! I heard from the boss that her daughter was holding a child in her arms. Go and find out. Wang Sumei fell into the lake at your school yesterday. Ask those who were walking with her. Who is the young woman?”

Although Chen Qiuhua didn't believe it, he still stood up and said, "It's not that troublesome. Just go to the security office and check the school's entry and exit records. What time is it? What are the two wearing? It's better to match them if they are distinctive."

The old lady only remembered the red dress, but she didn't know much about anything else.

Chen Qiuhua went to check yesterday's entry and exit records. Although he didn't know the specific time of entering the school, he was sure it was in the morning.

She saw the three words "Wang Sumei" at a glance, and the name "Jiang Xinyu" was written on the line above.

The relationship between the two is that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Very good, the case was solved in one go.

Chen Qiuhua instantly remembered what Jiang Xinyu said on the day she reported in. Chen Yi was her husband, and they were both admitted from Henan Province. Jiang Xinyu was so angry that she gave birth prematurely a month ago. No one in the school knew about this news, and the child also had a reason.

Thinking back to Chen Yi's face that looks a bit like his second brother Chen Jinhua when he was young, what else don't you understand now?

The second brother has not had a son for so many years and has taken great care of the children of these brothers and sisters. If he knew that he had a son, would he still care so much about their children?
As soon as the idea came to Chen Qiuhua's mind, she suppressed it.

How could she be so selfish?Wang Sumei is not lovable, but her second brother has never treated her badly. How can she let her second brother not recognize his son?

She just wanted to feel sorry for her second sister-in-law Feng Man, who had always been polite to her.

Mentioning Feng Man, she felt a little strange. Was it really because her second sister-in-law wanted her to change her workplace a while ago because she cared about the difficulty of going back and forth?
Chen Qiuhua pretended to be worried and returned to the duty room. The old lady had long been impatient to wait.

"Did you find out? It's best to find a place to live. I have to scold her. She just ran away back then. How can she marry someone else and give birth to a daughter for someone else without dying outside!"

The old lady has been arrogant all her life, and the bulging wrinkles between her eyebrows and the deep nasolabial folds around her mouth say she is not to be trifled with.

Chen Qiuhua took a sip of water before saying: "Mom, you scolded the wrong person. That lesbian is a student of our school, but she is not Wang Sumei's biological daughter..."

The old lady interrupted her and said with confidence in her sneer: "I knew she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. She must have become a stepmother for someone else. Is that girl her stepdaughter?"

Chen Qiuhua: "..."
