Chapter 34: Fate

Jiang Yucheng is a person who values promises and affection, and after he agreed to change his surname for Manman, he took Yan Niang's mother and daughter to the county government the next day, and added them to his household registration book by virtue of his position.

Since the death of Jiang Yucheng's grandparents and father, the Jiang family's household register only has their mother and son and Leng Ruru sisters. Later, Leng Ruru got married, Leng Jiaojiao died of illness, and only Jiang's mother and Jiang Yucheng were left on the Jiang family's household register. After adding the names of Yan Niang's mother and daughter, it was finally much more lively.

Yan Niang only recognized a few words, she recognized the names of herself and her daughter, and seeing that she and her daughter were named with the surname Jiang, she suddenly had a strong sense of belonging, which was a feeling that she did not have for the Ling family before.

After putting away the household registration book, Jiang Yucheng squatted down and hugged Manman, and teased her: "Little girl, you will be my daughter in the future, come, call Daddy." ”

Full of wide eyes and looked at Yan Niang suspiciously.

Yan Niang smiled and nodded: "Manman, you will be Jiang Qingzhi in the future, you should call Master Jiang Daddy." ”

Man Man blinked and shouted at Jiang Yucheng, "Daddy." ”

The child's voice was crisp and pleasant, and Jiang Yucheng smiled when he heard it.

"Daddy, why was my name Ling Qingzhi before, and now I am called Jiang Qingzhi?" Before he could laugh enough, Manman's sudden question made him not know how to answer.

The little man's face was full of puzzlement.

Yan Niang smiled and wanted to explain to her daughter, but Jiang Yucheng shook her head gently: "She is too young now, we will tell her the truth when she is older." ”

Yan Niang had to swallow back the words that just came to her mouth.

Yan Niang and Manman came to Yucheng County for the first time, and Jiang Yucheng took advantage of the fact that the county government was fine, and planned to take their mother and daughter out for a walk. Yucheng County is much larger than Lingjiang Town, and it is also much more prosperous.

People come and go on the street, dressed to be richer than the people of Lingjiang Town, the streets are lined with shops, and there are some small vendors scattered around, because it is close to the end of the year, people are busy buying New Year's goods, whether it is in the shop or a small vendor, it is extremely lively.

was full of Jiang Yucheng's hugs, and at a glance, he saw a candy seller in front of him, shouting to eat. Yan Niang's heart jumped suddenly when she heard the word sugar man, the last Mid-Autumn Festival, she took Manman to see the lantern festival, and the little girl was also shouting to eat sugar man, but she was abducted by a kidnapper.

Jiang Yucheng knew what she was afraid of, and pulled her with one hand, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

The warm touch made Yan Niang's heart settle down a lot, and the family of three slowly came to the candy seller's stall, the boss was a thin old man with gray hair, and when he saw a guest coming to the door, he stopped his actions and said, "What pattern does the guest want, turn it yourself." ”

Next to the stall is a turntable with many animal figures carved on it.

"I'm going to like that big bird." Man Man pointed to the huge phoenix candy man stuck in the haystack.

Jiang Yucheng hugged Manman and squatted down, "Manman, turn around by yourself what you like." ”

Manman turned it hard, the turntable spun rapidly, and the pointer finally stopped on the Phoenix Candy Man. Full of joy, he stretched out his hand to get the candy man, but the boss said loudly: "Can the guest see whether the pointer refers to the phoenix or the golden chicken?" ”

Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng were puzzled, and followed the boss's words and took a closer look at the turntable, it turned out that the pointer looked like it was pointing at the phoenix, but in fact, it fell between the phoenix and the golden chicken. Jiang Yucheng looked closer again, and the wooden pointer was a little biased towards the golden chicken.

"We were wrong." He happily admitted, and then asked the boss: "How much is the Phoenix Candy Man, I bought it." ”

The boss suddenly laughed, "I hope the guests are considerate, Xiao Lao'er's candy man only sells according to the turntable." ”

As soon as Jiang Yucheng wanted to speak, he heard him say: "Xiao Lao'er has traveled south and north for more than 30 years with this craft, and the phoenix candy man on this turntable has only been sold once. After living at this age, I have realized some truths, life should have the end, and life should not be forced at any time. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng couldn't help frowning, obviously the old man in front of him was just a candy seller, but when he said this, he inexplicably had the appearance of a master outside the world.

But this is really not good, if it is someone else, you may have to find the old man to reason, but Jiang Yucheng didn't take it seriously. He lowered his head and asked, "You have transferred to Jinji, we can only ask for this." ”

He glanced at the Phoenix Candy Man reluctantly, and obediently asked for the golden chicken.

After the family of three left the candy man stall, the boss of the candy man began to close the stall, and the aunt who bought the soup noodles next door looked at him curiously several times, and muttered in her heart: This old man has only been out of the stall for three days, and he has only sold one sugar man out in three days, and he is too bad at doing business.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of Yangchun noodles and put more green onions."

At this time, a customer came to the door, and the noodle stall aunt no longer paid attention to the sugar man boss.

Jiang Yucheng took his wife and daughter around the county, and after having lunch in the county office, Yan Niang took Manman back to Lingjiang Town. As soon as she left on the front foot, Father Ling and Wen found the county government on the back foot.

"Big nephew, you have to be the master of my family!" As soon as he saw Jiang Yucheng, Wen pulled his sleeve and howled.

Being suddenly touched, Jiang Yucheng couldn't help frowning. Just as he was about to ask, Wen was pulled away by Father Ling, "Master Jiang, my wife has no eyes, if I offend you, please forgive me." ”

Jiang Yucheng gently stroked the folds on his sleeves and looked up at them, "What are you two doing here?" ”

Wen was just about to speak, but was preempted by Father Ling: "My lord, the Sun family deceived people too much, Sun Fu slandered my daughter Yuan Niang for fornicating with someone in order to marry a widow, and said that he would divorce her." Yucheng, you and Erlang are classmates and friends, for Erlang's sake, you must help us. ”

Jiang Yucheng shook his head after hearing this: "I'm sorry, this is the family matter of the Sun Ling family, and it is inconvenient for the government to interfere." ”

Wen Shi heard the anger rushing upward, and said without hesitation: "What's the inconvenience, I think it's because after marrying the slut of the Nie family, I don't treat my Erlang as a classmate." Did the slut say something that made you refuse to help? ”

Wen's words angered Jiang Yucheng, Yan Niang is his wife who is marrying Ming Media, and now he is so insulted by an old woman, where can he bear this breath, and he immediately drove out after scolding the two.

Wen and Father Ling were escorted by the yamen and thrown outside the county yamen, and the yamen looked at the two of them with disdain and said, "Sapo is here at the yamen, if you don't want to be beaten by the board, get out of here." ”

Father Ling and Wen were frightened, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and when the two were thrown out, there was a lot of movement, and passers-by who passed by here pointed at them.

Father Ling's face was as heavy as ink, and he scolded his old wife and said: "Bad old lady, why can't you control your mouth, now we have a request for someone, why are you scolding the Nie family?" ”

"Why can't I scold that slut, I don't know what that slut has done, if he is divorced, he can still marry into the Jiang family, and he is not afraid of being killed by him."

Wen's mood was not smooth, she had also made up her mind to marry Ling Sanniang to Jiang Yucheng, if it weren't for the death of the daughter of the Ge family, she might have found someone to lobby her. In her opinion, Yan Niang is ugly and fat, and she is still a cousin with a child, Jiang Yucheng must be blind to fall in love with such a woman.

The more Wen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but spit at the gate of the county government, "Bah, what are you proud of, it's not that you picked up the rags that my son doesn't want, now it's like a baby, and you will regret it in the future." ”

Seeing her rudeness and meanness, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed on Father Ling's face, "Can you stop a little, the most important thing now is the matter of Yuan Niang." ”

As soon as he heard the word "Yuan Niang", Wen was a little anxious: "His father, this Jiang Yucheng is unwilling to be busy, let's go find Erlang." ”

"Nonsense, Erlang is far away in Wuzhou, when we get there, Sun Fu and the widow's son have been born, but it will hurt Yuan Niang." Father Ling resolutely disagreed with going to Ling Jiming, Yuanshui couldn't save the near fire, so he decided to let Ling Sanniang go to Yan Niang to intercede.

On this day, as soon as Yan Niang came back from the shop, Ling Sanniang came to the door.

Since she and Ling Jiming reconciled, the two hadn't seen each other for nearly three years, and Yan Niang was surprised and invited her in with a smile.

After the two sat down, Yan Niang asked, "Sanniang, how have you been doing in the past few years?" ”

Ling Sanniang was a little uncomfortable on her face, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "It's okay, I got married last year, and my husband's family is also in this town." After speaking, she looked at Yan Niang carefully, "It seems that the second sister-in-law is having a good life, Lord Jiang must treat you very well, I will come today..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yan Niang: "Sanniang still call me by my name, now I am the wife of the Jiang family, and I can't be the second sister-in-law." ”

Ling Sanniang realized that she had made a mistake at this time, and said, "It's all because I forgot to change my words, please forgive Sister Yan Niang." ”

Yan Niang didn't answer this, and said, "You didn't come to talk to me today, just say what you have." ”

I haven't seen her for three years, Ling Sanniang is no longer the Ling Sanniang she used to be, Yan Niang can see from her flickering eyes that she must have something in her heart.

Seeing that Yan Niang asked so directly, Ling Sanniang didn't know how to speak for a while, hesitated for a while and made up her mind: "Sister Yan Niang, I came to you this time for my eldest sister's business. My eldest sister was framed by the Sun family for personal gain... fornication, and said that she was going to divorce her, I want to ask Sister Yan Niang for the sake of our sister-in-law, and let Master Jiang make the decision for my eldest sister. ”

After Yan Niang heard the reason, her face sank suddenly.

"Sanniang, do you know what you're talking about?" She stared at her for a moment: "I won't help Ling Yuanniang's affairs, if you want to find someone to call the shots, let's go to the county government to hand over the paper." ”

Ling Sanniang's heart was half cold after hearing this, "Sister Yan Niang, I can't come to you because I can't help it, you have a lot of adults, help my eldest sister." ”

Yan Niang sneered: "I won't help someone who wants to harm my daughter, besides, according to Ling Yuanniang's temperament, the Sun family may not frame her." ”

Hearing this, Ling Sanniang stood up suddenly, "Nie Yanniang, what do you mean, if you don't help, forget it, why do you want to ruin my eldest sister's reputation, I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless." ”

"Ling Sanniang, is it me shameless or Ling Yuanniang doesn't abide by women's morals." Yan Niang said with a cold face: "You go and ask her yourself, who she was with on August 15." ”

Ling Sanniang looked at her face that had become condensed, and suddenly felt like she was running away.
