Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 197: 197 shrew

Shen Xueqi seemed to have aged a lot, not in appearance but in spirit, feeling that everything was transient, and this family had completely fallen apart.

The resolution of this matter was surprisingly quick, and a public trial meeting would be held in a month. This was going to be a skinning even if he survived.

He patiently awaited the outcome for both of them.

This matter has been spreading like wildfire, and Jiang Xinyu also heard about it. She was startled when she heard the news, as there was no such description in the books.

Right until the end, Vice Mayor Shen was fine, and Wang Meifang ended up being the strongest supporting female character. The female lead suffered a lot under her, so how could it be like this? The plot had completely collapsed.

Now everyone was talking about this topic, and somehow, the matter of Kong Mengjie and Huang Hongwei was brought up again.

Now the two have become a subject of casual gossip again.

”Xinyu, I’ll treat you to a meal this Saturday.”

”Okay, come to my house?”

”That would be too embarrassing? That wouldn’t be me treating you.” Wang Ailing rolled her eyes at Jiang Xinyu.

”Haha, restaurants have the same food. By the way, how are you doing with that person?”

”We’re getting engaged at the end of the month, and married on National Day, October 1st.”

”Makes sense, you’re still not of age. How are the preparations going?”

”Not bad. His family has prepared the house. He’s the youngest in the family. Originally, we were supposed to live with the elders, but the distance from both our workplaces is too far. His mom told me that when we get married, we’ll live separately, secretly gave him money, and we bought a house not far from your place.”

”Haha, indeed, the youngest son, the elder’s treasure. Is the house ready? I have some furniture here, let me give it to you.

Of course, if you don’t like old furniture, you can go buy at the furniture factory, I’ll take you there. You can definitely get the best and cheapest.”

”Really?” Wang Ailing asked excitedly.

”Of course, this was personally promised by Director Liang to me.”

”That’s great, my mom said she’ll give me a hundred bucks for furniture, and I’ll cover the rest. Can you take me to have a look on Saturday?”

”No problem, I’ll call Hao Shichao later.”

Wang Ailing was giggling foolishly all along, it seems their relationship is really great.

Hao Shichao was readily agreeable when he received the call from Jiang Xinyu, ”No problem, I’ll definitely give you a cost price.

Jiang Xinyu, shall we get together Saturday night?”

”Sure, I’ll treat, I still have some seafood at home, I’ll take it to Brother Ding’s, we can have a good meal.”

”Alright, I have a big rooster at home too, I’ll bring it to Ding Shihong.”

”Haha, the other day I had a big rooster at Brother Ding’s.”

”Will you come over on Saturday morning?”

”Yes, Wang Ailing is on a long shift that day, otherwise, she wouldn’t have the time.”

”Okay, by the way, my dad made some clothing racks, you can take some back.”

”Sure, I’d love to have clothing racks too.”

”That’s good enough? There’s also the coat racks in the house.”

”Tell Uncle to make me two?”

”Sure, no problem.”

Qian Jun watched Jiang Xinyu happily talking on the phone outside the door, feeling that she had recovered, the lost weight can be recovered gradually, as long as the heart is fine.

Jiang Xinyu hung up the phone. She looked up and saw Qian Jun outside the door, ”Mr. Qian, do you need anything from me?”

”Yes, at the end of the month, there will be an awards ceremony for Wu Hongyu at the factory.”

”Is that possible?”

”Yes, and there will be a bonus, although it’s only fifty, it’s a matter of honor.”

”Thank you, Mr. Qian.”

Qian Jun shook his head, ”Jiang Xinyu, did you hear about Shen Xueqi’s matter?”

”I heard, everyone’s talking about it now, Mr. Shen is really unfortunate.”

”Yeah, it’s a double betrayal. I’m planning to visit him on Sunday, do you want to come?”

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, ”I’m not going, I’m going to the city on Monday, need to visit the school, I’ve been really irresponsible with my studies, not catching fish, just drying the net every day.”

”Then I’ll drive you on Monday. Let’s go see Shen Xueqi together.”

Jiang Xinyu nodded, who would want to waste time taking the crowded bus when there’s a private car?

”Alright.”

On Thursday, Jiang Xinyu ran into the Cheng Family next door at the door after returning home, just nodded and didn’t speak.

”Mom, is this the one next door who can bake bread?”

”Yes, your dad heard she’s a leader at the textile factory, said she’s quite capable.”

”She looks okay.”

Yang Yue Mei leaned closer to her son, ”Son, you’ve taken a liking to her?”

”She’s okay, good job.”

”True, but we don’t know her age. The fortune teller said you can’t find a wife older than you.”

”Mom, she can’t be under eighteen, can she?”

”Don’t know, I’ll ask next time, you’re just eighteen yourself, still not of age.”

”If we wait till I’m of age, she would’ve been taken already.”

”Right, I’ll go knock and ask how old she is now.”

”Yeah, Mom, I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Xinyu had just gotten inside to have some water, hadn’t changed clothes yet, when she heard a knock on the door.

”Who is it?”

”Xiao Jiang, I’m your neighbor, Yang Yue Mei.”

Jiang Xinyu frowned a bit, really disliking this neighbor.

She opened the door, but her body blocked the entrance. ”What’s up?”

”Xiao Jiang, how old are you?”

”Are you from the street office? Checking the household registry? Even if you are, my household registration is at the textile factory.”

Really disliking the two outside the door, the man looked lecherous at first glance. Stretching his neck to peer into the yard.

”Xiao Jiang, I’m just curious.”

”Then curb your curiosity. Sorry, I have things to do.” Jiang Xinyu slammed the door shut.

The stunned Yang Yue Mei outside shouted curses immediately.

Jiang Xinyu originally didn’t want to bother with her, considered it as barking, but what? Thinking of making a move on her?

This time she really couldn’t hold it. She took a machete from the room, opened the door directly, and charged out with the raised knife.

She didn’t say a word, just swung.

The mother and son outside were startled, seeing the half-meter-long machete glistening, hurriedly dodged away in fear.

Jiang Xinyu chased after them with the knife. ”If you dare to badmouth again, I’ll chop you up. Take a piss before you act? If there’s a next time, there will be blood.”

The commotion here attracted many households to open their doors, seeing a girl with a machete cursing at the Cheng Family’s door, they all made mental notes. Originally thought a girl lived alone, didn’t expect her to be this fierce?

Several families came out and watched Jiang Xinyu.

The effect Jiang Xinyu wanted was exactly this. ”If I hear even a hint of nonsense, I’ll consider it from your house. Rest assured, I’ll wait for you, do you believe me?”
