Chapter 29: Changing Parents
Lu Cheng didn't hear her joy, he raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were red. His eyes fell on Jiang Manman's face, but what came to mind was another girl.
He shook his head vigorously but couldn't dispel her shadow, but shook himself dizzy.
The wine was full of energy, he waved his hand at Jiang Manman, and staggered towards his room.
Jiang Manman hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he pushed him away, and she had to follow behind.
Lu Cheng entered the room and fell on the kang.
Jiang Manman stepped into the threshold with his front foot and his back foot outside, hesitating whether to advance or retreat.
"Manman, Cheng'er is drunk, I'll trouble you to take care of him tonight." Lu Jiang appeared in time and said with a smile.
"Auntie, I ......" Jiang Manman bowed his head shyly.
"You two will get married sooner or later, why are you embarrassed, go in quickly." Lu Jiangshi pushed Jiang Manman, and then closed the door.
Jiang Manman's heart was pounding, and he stood in front of the kang for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to go to the kang.
She quietly looked at Lu Cheng's sleeping face, and it was the first time she had observed him so closely, and her eyes could fall on his face unscrupulously, without dodging because of shyness.
No one knew how deep her feelings for Lu Cheng were, and he didn't know that his mind was only on Jiang Dani, the woman who made her crazy with jealousy.
Lu Cheng's wine-dyed cheeks were ruddy and cute, and she couldn't help but stretch out her index finger and scratch it, with a little naughtiness.
For nearly two decades, she grew up with this man, from toddler to toddler, with him every step of the way. He has become an integral part of her life.
She likes him, loves him, wants to marry him, and goes from green silk to white head with him.
Jiang Manman gently stroked Lu Cheng's frowning brow, trying to soothe his pain.
She muttered, "Lu Cheng, don't be sad. I will love you well and spend my whole life. ”
After saying this, she also made up her mind.
She took off Lu Cheng's shoes and began to unbutton his coat.
Her face was red and her heart was beating, her fingers were trembling, and it took her half a day to unbutton them all.
After the coat was taken off, a thin and tight undershirt wrapped around Lu Cheng's muscular body.
Jiang Manman was shy and nervous, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and it took a lot of effort to take off his undershirt.
The man's good figure was visible at a glance, and Jiang Manman quickly covered his eyes, embarrassed to look at it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, followed by someone breaking into the courtyard.
"Jiang Manman, shameless thing, get out of here!" Boss Jiang's angry voice sounded.
Jiang Manman was shocked, and couldn't find a place to hide in a panic, so he hurriedly pulled a quilt and covered his head.
"Her father, you be quiet, don't scare the child, you wait outside, I'll go in and have a look." Mrs. Jiang was also in a hurry, trying her best to suppress her rough voice.
Lu Jiangshi stepped forward to stop her, but she pretended not to know: "Big brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing at night?" Why should Man Man stay at my aunt's house, she has already slept, the road is dark, and I will let her go back early tomorrow morning. ”
"Eldest sister, don't pretend to be confused, Manman was obviously deceived by you and Lu Chengyu. If you want to spend a penny and pick up a daughter-in-law for nothing, no way! Boss Jiang ran over all the way anxiously, and his tone was very impulsive.
Lu Jiang smiled: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are here tonight, let's just make it clear, Man Man and Lu Cheng are in love with each other, and we should fulfill them as parents." Wouldn't it be better for us to kiss each other. ”
"If you can't get the bride price money, you don't have to talk about anything, get out of the way!" Boss Jiang was very irritable at this time, how could he discuss it well.
Lu Jiangshi frowned: "Big brother, you have fallen into the eyes of money, there is only one girl in your family, you can bear to exchange her for money?" ”
Mrs. Jiang was not happy and retorted: "Aunt She, don't speak so ugly, where are we selling our daughters." It is true that we asked Manman to change her brother's marriage, but we also have to choose a good family and find her a good husband. You don't know what the situation is in your family, we are not willing to let Manman suffer. ”
Lu Jiang's family was also angry when he heard it, and his face sank.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with us, we are from the north and south, and it's not like we can't find a daughter-in-law. It's your daughter who is willing to be with my son, and they have already made cooked rice from raw rice, so you can't do it if you don't want to. ”
"What? Get out of the way! Boss Jiang grabbed Lu Jiang's arm.
Mrs. Jiang ran in quickly, and saw that the door of the inner room was bolted from the outside, she became more and more anxious, took off the bolt, and kicked the door open.
The dim light sprinkled on the kang, and I saw Lu Cheng sleeping with his upper body bare, but Man Man was not there.
There was a bulging quilt next to it, and something in it was shaking slightly.
Mrs. Jiang lifted the quilt and saw that her daughter's pale face was full of panic, and her clothes were still neatly worn on her body.
Fortunately, it came in time, and Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and held the kang to adjust her emotions.
It took a while for her to suppress the angry scolding that had reached her throat.
She is a hot-tempered person, her three sons are reprimanded by her all day long, and she is reluctant to be angry only with her only daughter.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and she sighed when she saw her daughter's scared look.
"You, I'm angry, don't come down quickly, go out and admit your mistake to your father, don't provoke him to be beaten."
"Mother, I'm not leaving, if I don't marry someone else, I'm going to marry Lu Cheng." Jiang Manman hugged the quilt and begged.
"What do you say? Bastard thing, I don't even listen to my father's words, get out of here! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
Boss Jiang pushed Lu Jiang away and rushed in and scolded angrily.
Jiang Manman was so frightened that he drilled straight into the corner of the kang, and the angry Jiang Boss jumped on the kang, dragged her arm, and dragged her down.
Her father had never been so angry with her, Jiang Manman was so frightened that she cried, hoping that Lu Cheng would get up quickly to protect her, but Lu Cheng was drunk and fell asleep deeply, and he couldn't move.
In the end, Jiang Manman was dragged away crying.
Lu Jiang's family was so angry that he slammed the door, secretly blaming Jiang Manman for not being angry, his movements were sharper, and he had already cooked raw rice and cooked rice, and he had to do it if he didn't succeed.
"Her father, you let go of Manman, let her go by herself, don't drag her down and fall." Mrs. Jiang was so anxious that she shouted in the back.
"Fall to death, pull down this shameless thing, run to the man's house**, don't keep the boudoir precepts, stink, see who is willing to marry her, just wait to be a nun......" Boss Jiang was furious and scolded non-stop.
"The child already knows that he is wrong, so you don't scold a few words." Mrs. Jiang persuaded.
"Look at the good girl you gave birth to, it's all because you don't usually teach her to learn well, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked."
Mrs. Jiang was annoyed: "Who are you satirizing, you are the one who is a father who is not right, and you are embarrassed to teach others a lesson in the field with the little widow!" ”
"Stinky woman, which pot is not opened, see if you dare to grin and break nonsense, slap you to death!" Boss Jiang slapped him hard.
Mrs. Jiang dodged, but Jiang Manman was dragged to the ground and kowtowed.
Boss Jiang didn't care about it, dragged her away, and was carried away by anger, walking faster and faster.
Don't look at him who is usually a little wilted, starting a fire, the spicy lady Jiang is stunned, and she can't persuade him at all.
Jiang Manman's arm was almost ripped off, the dirt road was bumpy, she didn't know how many times she fell, and her nose and face were swollen when she got home.
Boss Jiang threw Jiang Manman into the room where she lived in the East House, and wanted to tie her up with a rope, but was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.
Under the persuasion of his mother, Boss Jiang finally stopped, and ordered Lady Jiang to keep an eye on Jiang Manman, don't let her run away, and he went back to sleep.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her mother-in-law and was disgusted: "Mother, Manman is sleeping on your side, she secretly ran out to spend the night, you don't tell us about such a big thing." ”
"She didn't go to someone else's house, she went to her aunt's house, what's not to do." Mrs. Jiang muttered, "I see that the two children Man Man and Cheng'er are quite a good match." ”
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes: "Her aunt doesn't know how much ecstasy soup she poured into you, Manman married Lu Cheng, what about her younger brother Shou'er, didn't we say it a long time ago, let Manman change relatives for Shou'er." Mrs. Wang already has eyebrows on her side, and it is estimated that she will be able to reply in the next two days. ”
"You know that I was used to change relatives, and I have heard the word 'change of relatives' since I was a child, and I have been stung countless times. Have you ever considered for my happiness, why can't I marry the people I like, I can only marry those crooked melons and cracked dates, I don't agree! ”
Jiang Manman's accumulated resentment surged up, crying and arguing.
"My wife is old, so I won't make trouble with you, so I'll go to bed first." Mrs. Jiang had a headache, leaned on crutches, and slipped back to her room.
"Manman, you sit down first and listen to your mother." Mrs. Jiang soaked a cloth in cold water and wiped her daughter's face.
Jiang Manman pushed away his mother's hand in repulsion and hid in the corner to wipe his tears.
Mrs. Jiang said softly: "Manman, my mother won't harm you, the family I found for you has a solid family background, and the man is about the same age as you, and he looks no worse than Lu Cheng." The man has a younger sister who agrees to marry into our family, which is the best of both worlds. ”
"No one is as good as Lu Cheng, I just want to marry Lu Cheng, and I won't marry anyone else if I die." Jiang Manman's voice was resolute.
Mrs. Jiang thought that her daughter was stunned for a while, and tried her best to persuade her, but Jiang Manman covered her ears and didn't listen.
After a while, Jiang Manman suddenly remembered something, looked at his mother and asked.
"Usually you don't come to grandma's place at night, how do you know I'm not home tonight?"
"Don't ask who someone tells us."
"Did Dani say that?" Jiang Manman asked intuitively.
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment and changed the topic.
Jiang Manman is even more sure that it is Dani who said, only Dani is always staring at herself in this family, and she can't get along with herself. Dani and Lu Cheng broke up, and she didn't allow herself to be good with Lu Cheng, it's really hateful!
The more Jiang Manman thought about it, the more angry he became, no! You have to settle accounts with Dani!
She stood up and ran out, but Mrs. Jiang didn't stop her carelessly, she ran to the West House and slammed the door.
"Jiang Dani, little slut, get out of here!"
