Chapter 159 The Beginning and End of Engagement
Without even raising her head, Shen Jiaojiao said calmly, "It's nothing rare, just some wild vegetables. I'm sure Aunt Jiang wouldn't like them."
The smile on Jiang's mother's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Seeing that the wild vegetables on the ground had not been picked yet, she quickly squatted down and picked a few handfuls.
While inserting, he did not forget to tease Shen Jiaojiao: "Look at what Jiaojiao said. Now, anything that can be eaten is rare."
Shen Jiaojiao quickened her movements and ignored him. Shen Wensong, who was standing next to her, held a basket in one hand, guarding against Jiang's mother, and quickly picked wild vegetables with the other hand.
As for the verbal confrontation between the two of them, he never paid any attention to it.
When there was only one wild vegetable left, Shen Jiaojiao grabbed it first.
"Oh, Jiaojiao is still young, her hand speed is really fast!"
Shen Jiaojiao raised the corners of her lips and looked at her: "Although Aunt Jiang is a little old, she is still very fast and strong."
The smile on Jiang's mother's face froze. "Can you speak? You are older!"
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Jiaojiao was still somewhat useful, she would have broken off the engagement long ago given his family's current condition. There would be no need for her to watch this little bitch acting weird here.
"Jiaojiao, you're lucky. Auntie will go with you." As she said this, she pretended not to see the ugly expression on Shen Jiaojiao's face and took her wrist affectionately.
"Jiaojiao, you've seen it, Huaichuan has lost a lot of weight recently, and I, as his mother, am so distressed."
Shen Jiaojiao's expression relaxed a lot when she heard that. Jiang's mother curled her lips slightly. She was just a little girl, and she couldn't be controlled by her.
She has been a widow for so many years and is very good at saving time and money. Otherwise, she would not have lived so well all these years raising her son alone.
It is very important to know when to treat different people and with what attitude, and she has mastered it over the years.
As for face, it should be abandoned when it is time to abandon it. Face is something that should be used only when it is useful. What is the point of having it in the current situation!
Although Shen Jiaojiao's expression eased only a little, Jiang's mother still seized the opportunity.
"Jiaojiao, Huaichuan has suffered a lot of setbacks during this period. He has never encountered such setbacks before. Not to mention you, even his attitude towards me as a mother has changed a lot. Don't bother with him."
As she spoke, she pulled up the back of Shen Jiaojiao's hand and patted it gently a few times to comfort her. "Auntie will talk to him later. If you miss such a good girl, where can you find her in the future?"
After she reminded him, Shen Jiaojiao's face darkened again, but after hearing what Jiang's mother said, she calmed down and responded coldly, "Yeah."
Jiang's mother said a few nice words to coax Shen Jiaojiao. After that, Shen Jiaojiao found some wild vegetables and a nest of pheasant eggs. She gave them all to Jiang's mother and asked her to take them back to nourish Jiang Huaichuan.
The smile on Jiang's mother's face became softer and she held Shen Jiaojiao in an intimate manner.
Shen Wensong on the side wanted to say something, but when he thought of Shen Jiaojiao's attitude during this period, he swallowed the words back.
Forget it, after all, we have them at home, and these were found by my aunt, so let her do what she wants.
How could Shen Jiaojiao not know that Jiang's mother was just coaxing her, but she couldn't let go for the time being and planned to give Jiang Huaichuan another chance.
If he ignores me like before, then...
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes. Don't blame her for not remembering our friendship!
Brother Huaichuan!
That night, Shen Huaichuan rarely saw a plate of scrambled eggs on the table. He ate in silence, gave half to his mother and ate the other half himself.
As for where the eggs came from, he did not ask. He obviously knew that with his mother's ability, she could not get pheasant eggs, so the only one could be Shen Jiaojiao.
These three words lingered on my lips for a long time, and finally after finishing the meal, I said: "Mom, don't take Shen Jiaojiao's things anymore, and don't take advantage of her."
Jiang's mother was startled, obviously disagreeing with what her son said. If she could be coaxed by just a few nice words, why not!
Besides, she got it through her own ability.
Shen Jiaojiao happened to come to find Jiang Huaichuan, and heard what the mother and son were saying. She immediately hid behind a tree.
"Mom, you listen to me on this matter."
This time, Jiang Huaichuan's attitude was unusually firm. After hearing this, Jiang's mother nodded blankly.
After a while, he asked softly, "Huaichuan, why?"
Shen Jiaojiao, who was standing behind the big tree, pinched the trunk hard with her fingers. Yes, she also wanted to know why!
Why am I so good to him, but he still can't see me in his heart or even in his eyes!
Jiang Huaichuan pinched his brows, realizing that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, his mother would do it again.
"Mother, have you ever made any mistakes in what I asked you to do?"
Jiang's mother shook her head, then seemed to remember something and nodded.
"Shen Jiaojiao, isn't it you who asked for her by name? That's why mother arranged this marriage for you, but now..."
This marriage doesn’t seem to be very good!
The latter part of the sentence was not uttered despite Jiang Huaichuan's increasingly sinister eyes.
When Jiang Huaichuan mentioned this, he was filled with anger and said in a low voice: "Mom, I clearly told you at the beginning that the person I was going to marry was A-Li!"
"But what about you? How did you do it?"
"Ah, you despised Ah Li for being weak and not favored by her parents, so you decided on your own to marry Shen Jiaojiao to me, and you still don't repent until now!"
Although Jiang Huaichuan lowered his voice, the anger and frustration in his voice could not be hidden.
After being yelled at by her own son, Jiang's mother finally realized that she had indeed acted on her own initiative in this matter, and it was indeed a foregone conclusion that her son would return from the academy in a month.
In addition, during that period of time, Shen Jiaojiao could really help their family, so after much consideration, the marriage was not cancelled.
"Huaichuan, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will listen to you from now on."
Jiang Huaichuan saw the expression on his mother's face and realized that she was no longer being perfunctory with him as before, and her attitude became much more relaxed.
"Mom, don't act on your own in the future. Remember what your son said. I won't harm you."
"Yeah, mom knows."
Jiang's mother smiled again. What Huaichuan said was true. The mother and son had depended on each other for many years, and he would definitely not harm her.
The atmosphere between mother and son was harmonious and happy, but the same could not be said for Shen Jiaojiao behind the big tree.
It was not until she heard their conversation today that Shen Jiaojiao suddenly realized, so, this is how it is!
