70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 7 Was she such a scumbag before?
Jiang Zhe's face was still as gloomy as the sky before a storm, with no sign of improvement.

He watched Shen Nanqiao limping past him, feeling annoyed, but still worried, so he rushed over, stretched out his big hand, grabbed Shen Nanqiao's wrist tightly, and pulled him towards the bicycle.

Shen Nanqiao hissed in pain, wondering in his heart, how could this man be so strong? He was like a bull.

When they got to the bicycle, Jiang Zhe pointed at the back seat. Shen Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhe frowned and squinted at her:

"Didn't you just say you didn't want a divorce? Since you're not making a fuss anymore, I'll take you home now. Don't let our Jiang family become the talk of the neighborhood and bring shame to us."

Shen Nanqiao was choked and speechless. His lips moved but no sound came out.

That's right. It's two kilometers from her home to the factory. She usually doesn't do much physical work. After running all the way here, her calves started to cramp and they are still in severe pain now.

If I could get a ride back, that would be much better than walking.

Shen Nanqiao sat in the back seat carefully.

Jiang Zhe took a long step and got on the bike. He pedaled hard and the bike rushed out like an arrow.

Shen Nanqiao was caught off guard and her body suddenly leaned forward. Her already injured forehead hit Jiang Zhe's back with a "bang". The pain made her tears well up in her eyes and she couldn't help but gasp.

Jiang Zhe then turned around and glanced at me, his tone still hard: "If you are afraid of falling, just hold on to my clothes."

Shen Nanqiao sighed helplessly. It seemed that her relationship with Jiang Zhe had become so bad that it could not be repaired.

However, it was only a matter of time before she and Jiang Zhe divorced.

In the book, Jiang Zhe has been busy working outside since his retirement and rarely stays at home. Now she has her own ideas. When she is able to support her two children, she will take them out to try her luck and start a small business. The two of them are destined to be apart more often than together.

Shen Nanqiao hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhe's clothes. Jiang Zhe was riding the bike very vigorously, and the bike was running steadily on the road. The breeze blew gently, blowing on Shen Nanqiao, making her hot and tired body feel a little more comfortable.

When we arrived at the tube-shaped building, a few gossiping women gathered at the door of Jiang's house and were talking animatedly.

"Sister-in-law, you can't let your daughter-in-law do what she wants. Brother Jiang has promised to give her the job, but she's still worried and insists on going to the factory with him, as if she's afraid she'll lose the job."

"In my opinion, if it really doesn't work out, let Jiang Zhe divorce her. Jiang Zhe is still young, it wouldn't be easy to find a matchmaker and find a good one for her, right?"

Song Xia had a splitting headache from the noise all day long. She never imagined that one day her family would be seen as a joke by the neighbors.

"His aunt, please stop talking. Old Jiang is old, and there's nothing wrong with giving his job to a young person. We're all family, why should we be so divided?"

"Shen Nanqiao and Jiang Zhe already have two children, how can they just get divorced so easily?"

"Sister-in-law, we are all doing this for the good of your Jiang family. As for Shen Nanqiao, she is usually restless and always flirts with other people..."

The old woman was talking excitedly, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Zhe riding a bicycle in the distance with Shen Nanqiao on the back, she immediately shut up.

The two of them looked quite harmonious now. Song Xia could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times before she was sure it was real.

That was really her son and his daughter-in-law! Jiang Zhe arrived at the door of his house and stopped his bicycle with a brake.

Shen Nanqiao got out of the car, glanced calmly at the people gathered at the door, and said slowly:

"My dear aunts, I would like to thank you all for your concern for our family. However, you should not make up stories about things that have nothing to do with us. Isn't that just making up rumors and causing trouble?"

As soon as Shen Nanqiao said this, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's head, and everyone suddenly became quiet.

They all knew that when Shen Nanqiao got angry, he was like a firecracker, which would catch fire at any time and was scarier than a mad dog.

"Jiang Zhe, have you and your wife reconciled?" someone asked bravely.

"We have always been fine. There is no such thing as reconciliation or not, and we will not get divorced. But we are all neighbors, and this rumor spread around and it became a turmoil.

If I hear anyone gossiping about our Jiang family again..." Shen Nanqiao said as he looked at the old woman who had spoken most enthusiastically just now, and suddenly took a step towards her.

The old woman was so frightened that her face changed. She quickly stepped back and shouted nervously, "Shen Nanqiao, what do you want to do?"

She knew Shen Nanqiao's aggressive personality and didn't want to get slapped.

Shen Nanqiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Sister-in-law, I think there seems to be a stink bug on your face. You should wash your face and rinse your mouth when you go back. If your mouth is too smelly, it will easily attract these dirty things."

Shen Nanqiao's words choked the old woman. Her face was like a field of crops ravaged by a storm, all blue and purple, and it was so ugly.

Seeing this, Song Xia hurried out to put out the fire. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"His sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart. Nan Qiao is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to control his words. You should be more patient with him."

But the old woman didn't buy it. She was already angry, and now she was even more angry. She snorted heavily, "Sister, your Jiang family is really unlucky to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Why don't you go out and ask around, which family in the surrounding villages can accommodate a daughter-in-law like this?"

After Shen Nanqiao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze became as cold as an ice knife in winter.

She glanced at the old woman coldly, and her eyes seemed to have substance. The old woman suddenly felt as if she was being stared at by something terrible. She was so scared that she quickly closed her mouth and dared not breathe.

She didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly greeted other people and left in shame.

Song Xia was standing by, feeling very upset. After Jiang Zhe married Shen Nanqiao, although they had two children, the couple's life was as twisted as that of a dough twist.

Normally, Nan Qiao is a hands-off boss at home. He does no work and just eats what is ready.

As a mother-in-law, Song Xia didn't think there was anything wrong in taking care of her daughter-in-law. She just hoped that the family could live in harmony and happiness.

But these two children are Shen Nanqiao's biological children, but she doesn't care about them at all.

Recently, Shen Nanqiao has been running out all the time. Word has spread in the village that Shen Nanqiao has a lover outside and wants to divorce Jiang Zhe.
