Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 108 Reconsidering
He used to just want them to give him some peace and quiet, but now it seems that he gave them too much freedom, making them lose sight of their own place.

Ah.

This newcomer, does he really think he can make his home?

However, as she said, family matters are not suitable to be resolved outside, but if they cannot do as he wishes, he would not mind helping them make a name for themselves.

Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, Mi Xiao'e immediately smiled and looked much more energetic. "Then Aunt Mi won't disturb you having dinner with your friends. Aunt Mi will go back home after finishing things in town and wait for you to come back."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Chen's reply, she grabbed Mi Shuyu's hand and walked out, not even finishing her meal.

There's something more important than eating right now: going back to talk to Lao Jiang as soon as possible. She's never been treated like this in all these years.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Mi Shuyu immediately became unhappy. "Auntie, why are we leaving? Jiang Chen's table is full of food that the two of them can't finish. Let's eat with them."

Perhaps Mi Xiao'e had been dominating the Jiang family for too long, causing the Mi family members to lose sight of their own place and feel that Jiang Chen's things also belonged to them.

"Alright, skipping one meal won't kill you. Let's go back to City A first." She didn't believe Jiang Chen wouldn't go home.

And this time he came back, it seems he had a vacation. Humph, he hasn't been back for so many years, he must have a lot of money. I'll have to ask Lao Jiang to take it back and keep it safe for him, otherwise what if some vixen spends it?
The Jiang family wasn't poor, but people are inherently greedy and always thinking about what others have.

At the restaurant, Bai Jing lost her appetite. Having experienced family conflicts, she knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly, she wouldn't have a good life in that family in the future.

In her past life, she was tormented for half her life.

Having been given a second chance at life, she naturally did not want to be that kind of person again.

"Jiang Chen, do you have a good relationship with your stepmother?" In order to have some peace and quiet in the future, she still asked what was on her mind.

After all, a clean home is more important than beautiful women.

She was attracted to his looks, but she didn't want to get back into the quagmire of family life.

Jiang Chen looked at her, meeting her gaze. Seeing the deep confusion and inquiry in her eyes, he sighed, "This is not good."

"But it's a family matter after all. Grandpa and the others have passed away, and I don't want people to gossip about their affairs. Don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged." Knowing that she was worried about him, how could he not understand what she meant?

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing felt relieved.

This proves that the man is still desirable.

“Jiang Chen, I believe you have seen through my thoughts. I admit that I had feelings for you before, but seeing your stepmother, to be honest, I’m a little scared. My own family was a mess before.”

Bai Jing wanted to continue, but Jiang Chen put a piece of braised pork on her plate. "Eat first, then we can talk."

This girl is really bold; she dares to say anything.

How old is she? What does "her thoughts" even mean?

Alas, he is not a good man.

Bai Jing swallowed, knowing that he didn't want her to be too explicit.

However, Bai Jing wasn't in a hurry. She would take it slow. As long as he handled this matter to her satisfaction, she wouldn't change her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't mind looking again. After all, she didn't value love and romance that much in this life.

She just met the right person and wanted to try her best for herself.

If all else fails, it's not like she can't live without a man.

The meal was unappetizing for both of them. Bai Jing had originally wanted to spend more time with him, but after that incident, she felt it was better to let him go back first.

Anyway, she got the contact information.

Jiang Chen shared similar thoughts with her. After finishing his meal, he said goodbye and left Hongyan Town.

Bai Jing didn't go to the bureau in the afternoon, but went home instead. Her mind was filled with the events of the day, and she was listless.

She was only pulled out of her reverie when Zhang Cuicui came to find her. "Sister Cuicui, why are you here at this hour? Aren't you at work today?" Is her job really that easy?
Bai Jing was a little envious.

Zhang Cuicui glared at her irritably. Who was she doing this for? "Let me have some water first." After entering the courtyard, Zhang Cuicui pushed Bai Jing aside and went to the table to pour herself a full cup of tea.

After downing the glass, she savored the taste and asked, "Did you have guests today?"

Sweet.

Bai Jing glanced at it and immediately understood why she asked that question.

It was the same pot of sweet water she had brewed for Jiang Chen that morning.

"Yes, I came this morning." She didn't intend to hide it and told Zhang Cuicui, but Zhang Cuicui was sensible and didn't ask too many questions.

"Xiaojing, do you have a cart? Come with me to get some grain later. There's too much; I can't carry it all back."

Thinking of the important matter, she immediately spoke up.

Gossip is nothing compared to important business.

Bai Jing didn't expect Zhang Cuicui to act so quickly. "You bought them all?" She wrote quite a few, how could she have bought them all in such a short time?
"What are you thinking? The New Year is almost here. I don't know what's wrong with the stationmaster. He's kept most of the new grain in his hands this year, replacing last year's old grain."

The people working at the grain station were very happy about this, as it was better to eat the new grain than to eat the old grain every year.

In previous years, when the harvest was poor, they tightened their belts to help the higher-ups, but when there were benefits, the higher-ups never thought of them.

So, the station manager decided to give himself some benefits this year and withheld half of the new grain.

Although no one knew what had happened between the station chief and the higher-ups, they had all benefited, so naturally they sided with their station chief.

So Zhang Cuicui took the opportunity to leak the news to her family and then helped Bai Jing buy a lot of fine grains.

"Looks like I'm in luck. Let's find a rickshaw; my family doesn't have a cart." Bai Jing was overjoyed; at least she could eat rice every meal now.

The aroma of the rice was so enticing, it could make her tongue tingle.

"If you need a rickshaw, I can find one for you in the compound. The guy there keeps his mouth shut and he's from the same compound, so he's trustworthy."

Zhang Cuicui has lived here for a long time, so Bai Jing naturally trusts her. "Okay, then go and call her. I'll wait for you at the intersection."

"to make."

Zhang Cuicui came like a gust of wind and left like a gust of wind, leaving behind only the glass from which she drank a large glass of sweet water.

Bai Jing took the money and some coupons. Her mother was the one who collected the family's grain rations, and she didn't know where the ration book was.

But having enough money and tickets is enough.

After locking the door, Bai Jing waited at the intersection.

She didn't have to wait long before Zhang Cuicui came out with a handcart.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing." She waved her hand vigorously, her face beaming with a bright smile, looking very youthful and energetic.

“Here, here,” Bai Jing replied.

Upon arriving, Zhang Cuicui introduced the person she brought to Bai Jing, "This is Uncle Zhou, he works at the same factory as my dad, but he does some cart pulling work when he's not busy."

Bai Jing nodded and greeted Uncle Zhou with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

"Okay, okay, all is well." Uncle Zhou greeted Bai Jing with a shy and honest smile.

"Alright, let's not stand here talking anymore. Let's hurry to the grain station. If we're late, we don't know when we'll be able to get the goods back."

Seeing that Zhang Cuicui spoke so unreservedly, she understood that this Uncle Zhou had a good relationship with her family and was trustworthy.
