Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 313 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 54

Liu Hongjuan then breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask her daughter in detail about Comrade Xiangdong's family conditions, and then compared them with several other people one by one.

After the two discussed for a while, Liu Hongjuan finally comforted him, "It's okay, don't worry, just follow what I told you and explain it to Xiangdong. Then I'll ask around and see if I can arrange a marriage for you first."

After exchanging heart-to-heart talks, the two returned to Jiang's home.

Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, the Jiang family seemed to have been stimulated and completely changed their appearance.

When Liu Qingqing returned home with her mother, Grandma Jiang, who was always sarcastic, came to greet them with a kind smile.

"Qingqing is back, come quickly, your elder brother has poured you a cup of sugar water to sweeten your mouth."

Looking forward, she saw Jiang's father, Jiang Lao Da, and Jiang Lao Da's wife were all standing in the yard with happy faces, and seemed to be very welcoming to her.

Liu Qingqing: “…” It looks so creepy!

Even if she was beaten to death, she would not believe that the Jiang family could be so nice to her, especially since they had even cheated her out of ten dollars a few days ago.

And the one who poured the sugar water for her was Boss Jiang, whom her mother had just mentioned and asked her to be extra careful. There was definitely something wrong with him!

She glanced at her mother uncomfortably, only to find that her eyes were also filled with confusion, and she felt something was wrong for some reason.

This bad feeling was finally revealed at the Jiang family's dinner table that night.

She hadn't finished her meal yet, but Jiang Aiguo and Grandma Jiang, as if they cared about her, began asking her how she was doing in the factory, what she did, and whether she was feeling unwell.

Although Liu Qingqing was suspicious of the other party, she did not dare to provoke him now that she knew Jiang's father would beat people. She could only carefully answer each question one by one.

Liu Hongjuan was listening with fear in her heart. When she saw Boss Jiang's smiling face since he sat down at the table tonight, she suddenly remembered what she had said when she had extorted ten dollars from the Jiang family under the pretext of work. Her face suddenly changed.

Could it be... Could it be that Boss Jiang has taken a fancy to Liu Qingqing's job?

After coming to this conclusion, Liu Hongjuan paid special attention to Jiang's father's questions, but the more she listened, the more frightened she became. She felt that this was most likely what Jiang Lao was planning.

She couldn't help but cast a hateful look at Boss Jiang, but she only got a raised lip corner from Boss Jiang in response.

The next moment, Father Jiang and Grandma Jiang at the dinner table finally revealed their true intentions.

Grandma Jiang acted like an elder who cares for her younger generation, "Qingqing, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about marriage!"

Jiang Aiguo immediately joined in, "Yes, I'll ask your mother to take a good look at you in the next few days, and then you can give your job in the factory to your eldest brother. Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, and she needs to recuperate. Your eldest brother's work can also improve your conditions. When you get married, your eldest brother and your nephew will support you at home!"

After a few words, the two of them decided that Liu Qingqing would get married and leave the job to Boss Jiang.

Liu Qingqing was so angry at the shamelessness of these two people that she completely forgot to be afraid. She frowned and refused, "No, I found the job, why should I give it to him?"

Liu Hongjuan quickly tried to smooth things over for her daughter, "His father, the main thing is that the eldest daughter-in-law is still pregnant, and there must be someone around to take care of her. The eldest son has to go to work in the factory, and the eldest daughter-in-law will miss him all day long. Otherwise, wait another two or three years, and when he grows up a little, the job will be transferred to him immediately!"

Boss Jiang still had that smiling face, and his wife immediately jumped out to speak, "Mom, it's okay, don't you still have me at home to take care of me? After all, I'm pregnant now, and I'll have to spend money at home and outside, so Boss should go out and work hard. Besides, Qingqing is really not young anymore, and my sister of that age is already a mother! You can't keep dragging Qingqing around for me, in two or three years, she will really become an old maid!"

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

Jiang Aiguo also reprimanded her in dissatisfaction, "Juanzi, I think you are getting worse and worse, and you are not as sensible as the eldest brother's wife! How long will you have to wait for Zhuangzhuang to grow up? This job is now with Qingqing, who knows what will happen in the meantime? Even if you are not satisfied, let the eldest brother take over first, so that you can get familiar with the work earlier, and Qingqing can also have a rest for a while."

After saying this, he looked directly at Boss Jiang and Jiang Dali, then spoke to Liu Qingqing.

"Qingqing, think about this carefully at home. All of our brothers are your strong supporters. Don't be away for so long. Don't let your heart become wild and be led astray by others."

Liu Qingqing didn't understand what was going on and was extremely angry. Before she could flare up, she was grabbed by the two brothers on her left and right and dragged directly into the room.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" she yelled angrily.

Just as Liu Hongjuan was about to stop him, Jiang Aiguo held her down.

Grandma Jiang answered Liu Qingqing's question in a harsh tone.

"Qingqing, your father is doing this for your own good. Look at what you have become now. You have only been in the factory for a few months, and now you are so selfish, so ungrateful, and so unfilial. Go back in and reflect on yourself! When you figure it out, your father will let you out!"

What this means is that when you agree to give up your job, you can be released.

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing struggled even harder. They were actually going to lock her up and force her to give up her job.

Liu Hongjuan's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but say, "His father, Qingqing has a boyfriend now, he works in the garment factory, and he was attracted to Qingqing's identity as a worker!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Boss Jiang and Jiang Dali stopped, while Jiang Aiguo and Grandma Jiang looked towards Liu Hongjuan.

"What do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Liu Hongjuan glanced at Liu Qingqing with an ambiguous look, then smiled and began to explain, "The man's family is well-off, and I heard he has some connections in the factory. With Qingqing's identity as a worker, the betrothal money will be easier to negotiate. If we give the job to Lao Da directly now, I guess the marriage will fall through! What I mean is, let's get Qingqing married first, and then give it to Lao Da, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Jiang Aiguo didn't say anything, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he coughed and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Liu Hongjuan nodded, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Qingqing. We are just getting along now, and we need to wait a while to deepen our relationship. Then everything will be easier to talk about."

Jiang Aiguo looked at Liu Qingqing, and Liu Qingqing nodded, "We are not stable yet, so we haven't told our family about this yet."

Seeing that both of them said this, Jiang Aiguo stopped pushing so hard for the time being.

In fact, he was not only attracted by the high price of the bride price, but mainly because he heard Liu Hongjuan say that she had some connections in the factory.

Nowadays, the most important thing is the relationship. If the two families have a deep relationship, it will not be a problem for the family to have another worker.

Boss Jiang didn't believe the nonsense these two women said. The job was about to be given to him, so how come this incident suddenly happened?

Didn't the two of them say nothing before? They only spoke up when they saw that Father Jiang was going to lock someone up. Maybe they were just putting on an act.

Thinking of this, Boss Jiang looked at Liu Qingqing with concern and said, "Really? Which comrade is sister Qingqing dating? You are still young and don't know how treacherous people are. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. I am older than you, so I can help you with some advice."

Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes in disgust, "We just started dating, I'll tell you when we're stable."

Boss Jiang refused, "Qingqing, you can't wait! There are many scammers these days, and they specifically target young girls like you. You should at least tell me who they are, so that you don't get hurt beyond repair."

This statement was full of double meanings, and even made Grandma Jiang and Jiang Aiguo suspicious of Liu Qingqing.

"Yes, tell your elder brother who it is. Don't be fooled!" Jiang Aiguo said in a stern tone.

Grandma Jiang also warned, "Don't learn from those shameless little whores. Remember what you should and shouldn't do, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

Liu Qingqing endured the humiliation from several people, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing this, Liu Hongjuan was afraid that her daughter would not be able to help but reveal her true identity, so she quickly replied for her.

"Qingqing, you can talk to your eldest brother, the one called Xiangdong."

With Liu Hongjuan's suggestion, Liu Qingqing successfully revealed some of Xiangdong's information.

After hearing what Liu Qingqing said, Boss Jiang stopped questioning and prepared to go to the garment factory in town the next day to inquire to see if there was a person named Xiangdong there.

The next day, after Boss Jiang made a special trip to the factory and vaguely found out that there was indeed such a worker in the garment factory, and the basic information matched what Liu Qingqing said, Liu Qingqing was allowed to go out to work in the town and get to Dingdong's house early.

On the other hand, just as Jiang Yueshu thought, there was no result found in the case of the theft of the Lu family’s betrothal money.

There is no evidence to prove that Zhao Xue stole the money, but the money is indeed gone.

No matter how many people the public security personnel sent to look for it, they found nothing. The public security personnel could only classify it as a case of lost property.

Even though Mother Lu kept crying and protesting that she didn't believe it, the truth just couldn't be found.

Zhao Xue even took the moral high ground and took this opportunity to force Lu's mother to admit her mistake and apologize to her.

Mother Lu had always been suspicious of Zhao Xueqi, and now being humiliated in public like this, she was so angry that her face turned pale and she almost fainted.

The Lu family's younger siblings were also very angry at Zhao Xue's aggressive attitude.

In the end, the second son of the Lu family couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that no one could discipline Zhao Xue, so he found a chance to send a telegram to his eldest brother Lu Jianjun, informing him to come back quickly.

Two days later, Lu Jianjun returned to the village exhausted, and the second son of the Lu family's marriage was officially aborted.

Facing everyone's inexplicable pointing and criticizing, Lu Jianjun hurried back to the Lu family in confusion and anxiety.

In order to save money, Lu Laoer did not mention the specific situation in the telegram. He only said that something big happened at home and he needed to come back quickly.

Thinking of his mother's old age, Lu Jianjun was afraid that something might have happened to her, so he quickened his pace and ran quickly towards the Lu family.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Lu Jianjun felt something strange. The gate to the yard was open and he could hear faint sobbing sounds coming from inside the house.

Lu Jianjun's heart tightened, and he quickly ran to Lu's mother's room, shouting, "Mom!"

In the room, Mother Lu lay weakly on the bed, her head was dizzy and painful, and she cried silently when she thought of the misfortune of her family...

While she was crying, she heard a familiar voice "Mom".

Mother Lu paused for a moment, and with tears in her eyes, she said to the younger sister of the Lu family who was also sobbing beside the bed, "Little sister, why do I hear your elder brother's voice?"

Before Lu Xiaomei could reply, Lu Jianjun strode in with a guilty look on his face and squatted beside Lu's mother's bed.

"Mom, I'm sorry I'm late."

Mother Lu was stunned, her eyes almost rolled back, but after he said this, they instantly slid down her cheeks, like a floodgate opened, tears flowing non-stop.

As if expressing her endless grievances and regrets, Mother Lu burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.

Lu Jianjun had never seen his mother like this before. He was panicked for a moment and tried to comfort his mother in a frantic and helpless manner.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Stop crying. Just tell me if there's anything wrong. I'm back. I can solve everything!"

Mother Lu felt even more sad after hearing this. She hugged Lu Jianjun and cried non-stop. Little sister Lu watched Mother Lu crying and she couldn't stop crying either.

The crying finally stopped until it was almost noon when Lu Laoer came back to cook.

As soon as he saw the three people hugging each other and crying, Lu Laoer directly pulled Lu Jianjun out and told him everything, even including what Zhao Xue said and did when Lu Jianjun returned to the army for a physical examination some time ago.

His mother has been forced into this state by Zhao Xue. There's no guarantee that she won't be angered to death by Zhao Xue one day. He can't do anything about it. So, doesn't his eldest brother care either?

After hearing what Lu Laoer said, Lu Jianjun was shocked beyond words.

Every time he thought he understood Zhao Xue a little better, something even more intolerable would be revealed to him the next second.

He looked at his mother and sister in the room and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, little sister, what my second brother said... is it true?"

Mother Lu had already guessed when Lu Laoer said that it was him who called Lu Jianjun back.

After experiencing this, she could no longer tolerate Zhao Xue. She felt that she had been very uncomfortable that day, but now she has naturally changed her mind.

Zhao Xue must not stay in the Lu family anymore, otherwise the entire Lu family will be harmed by her.

She can steal the second brother's betrothal money today, and frame Lu Xiaomei tomorrow. She can't gamble with her precious things.

"Jianjun, what your second brother said is true. I am like this now because of her. If she continues to stay at home, it will only cause unrest in our family."

Lu Xiaomei also nodded with tears in her eyes in response.
