Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 3 Space is a small world
Xu Manman pouted and looked at her mother dissatisfiedly, "Mom, how can a butcher be a good person? I don't want a big and strong butcher like that!"

"What's wrong with being a pig butcher? Look at the people in the slaughterhouse, which one of them is not slick and slippery? If you have a man like this, you can eat meat whenever you want in the future!" Wang Mingxia hated her daughter for being stupid.

She didn't mean to say that Jiang Chengxu was not a good person. His father was the deputy director of a food factory, his mother was a nurse in a hospital, and she herself was the publicity officer of a machinery factory. The key point was that this marriage was arranged by her sister-in-law Song Wanlin.

First of all, for the sake of her second son, she had already grabbed a job as a projectionist, so it would be bad to let her daughter snatch this son-in-law away.

"I don't care. I won't marry a pig butcher anyway. You lost me for more than ten years. Now that I'm finally back, you're so impatient to marry me off?" Xu Manman's tears came again.

Wang Mingxia felt very sorry, but she had no choice. "Then what do you say? If you don't get married, you have to go to the countryside. Are you willing to go to the countryside?"

Xu Manman was of course unwilling. "How did the eldest and second brothers get their jobs? And third brother, are you planning to send him to the countryside as well? Why am I the one who has to sacrifice all the children in this family, not just the biological ones?"

After Xu Manman finished speaking, she stood up and went to her room to cry.

The family parted ways unhappily.

Xu Qinghuan was about to enter the room when Wang Mingxia called out to her, "Huanhuan, come with Second Aunt. Second Aunt has something to tell you."

She and Xu Liqun looked at each other, and the couple went into the room together, with Xu Qinghuan following behind.

"Huanhuan, you see, the current situation is really difficult. Only your eldest and second brothers have jobs. The three of you are unemployed. You are better off. You are about to get married, and you won't have to go to the countryside after you get married.

Your third brother is a man, I don’t worry about where he goes, now Manman is the only one left at home…”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

If Xu Qinghuan didn't know that Xu Manman was lost at the age of three because Wang Mingxia did it on purpose, he would definitely believe this kind mother's heart.

But at this moment, she had to believe that, at least between Xu Manman and her, Wang Mingxia still chose Xu Manman.

"What do you mean, Second Aunt? Is there anything I can do?" Xu Qinghuan asked with lowered eyes.

Wang Mingxia sighed embarrassment. "Manman came back late. I don't know how much she suffered outside for so many years. She didn't study well and couldn't find a job. People looked down on her when they heard she grew up in the countryside. It's hard for her to find a good man."

Xu Liqun said from the side, "Huanhuan, even though your father is gone and your mother doesn't want you, you still have your uncle and aunt. I hope that since you and Manman are sisters, you can help each other in the future."

Xu Qinghuan asked in confusion, "Second Uncle wants me to accompany Manman to the countryside?"

Although she had made up her mind to go to the countryside, she did not want to be with Xu Manman. She hoped to get rid of these people, have one or two close friends in this time and space, rely on the financial support of a big boss, and live a comfortable and leisurely life.

It’s not as tiring and depressed as in my previous life. I had to try so hard to prove myself, but my parents didn’t care at all.

Wang Mingxia said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How could I bear to see you two sisters go to the countryside? I've raised you for fourteen years. I'd rather go to the countryside than see you go!"

That is, Song Wanlin gave them twenty-five yuan a month, which was equivalent to an ordinary worker's monthly salary.

Xu Qinghuan smiled, "I still don't know what Second Uncle and Second Aunt mean. Just tell me what you want me to do."

The original person once thought that her second uncle, second aunt and three brothers loved her very much. Her father sacrificed himself and she was abandoned by her mother. She had a home to live in. The original person once regarded these people as her closest relatives.

He is filial to his elders and attached to his brothers, thinking that they are also very good to him.

Until Xu Manman came back.

Only then did she realize that the love and care she thought she had received were really nothing to mention.

She gets fifty cents pocket money a month, and Xu Manman gets five dollars.

Her elder brother never bought her snacks, but Xu Manman could eat the braised pork brought back by her elder brother every few days.

When Xu Manman tried to steal her things, her second brother would slap her without asking any questions, forcing her to give the things to Xu Manman, and scolding her for being stingy and ungrateful.

When Xu Manman bullied her, the third brother watched coldly from the side, and his attitude of defending Xu Manman was not too obvious. As long as Xu Qinghuan dared to resist, he would step forward to help without hesitation.

Xu Qinghuan finally understood that the reason she had lived such a peaceful life before, which gave her the illusion that she had a family, was because she could not interfere with anyone in this family. On the contrary, the Xu family could use her to control Song Wanlin.

After all, Song Wanlin married into a wealthy family, and she didn't want Xu Qinghuan's existence to affect her life, and she didn't want people in Yan City to know that she once had a daughter.

Wang Mingxia said, "I was thinking that you are still young and there is no need to get married so early. As for this marriage with the Jiang family, I think we should wait and see. After all, Jiang Chengxu's mother doesn't like you very much.

If you don't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law well when you get married, it will also affect the relationship between husband and wife. Second Aunt is always thinking about you, you must know what is right and what is wrong. "

She had already abandoned Xu Manman once back then. Over the years, every time she woke up in her dreams at midnight, she felt uncomfortable.

She felt even more distressed when she saw her niece marrying into a wealthy family and her own daughter being sent to the countryside.

"This marriage is not something I can decide." Xu Qinghuan said truthfully.

"You are a child of the Xu family. Your father is gone. As your second uncle, I can make the decision on your affairs. You are still young and there is no rush to get married. I will help you postpone this marriage for now." Xu Liqun made the final decision.

Even though Xu Manman had not been raised by him for fourteen years and was not even his child, he did not know that at the moment. He only thought that Xu Manman was his daughter and Xu Qinghuan was just a niece.

After the couple lay down on the bed, Wang Mingxia nudged Xu Liqun with her elbow and said, "Old Xu, is this okay? What if my sister-in-law doesn't agree?"

"My eldest sister-in-law has always been shrewd. She thought that once Huanhuan got married, she would no longer want to care about us, so she urged the engagement and wedding."

Previously, the jobs of the eldest and second sons were also arranged by his sister-in-law. Over the years, they would always go to her for help when they had problems.

Anyone would be annoyed by this.

But less than three months after his brother's death, his eldest sister-in-law couldn't wait to marry his brother's comrade-in-arms. Xu Liqun hated and feared his sister-in-law.

"Let's wait and see about this marriage in the Jiang family!" Xu Liqun thought of the third son and Manman, and the fact that his three sons would need money to marry in the future, so he made a decision instantly.

This means you disagree!

Wang Mingxia was secretly happy and said quickly, "We can't go to their house to cancel the engagement."

It would be best if this marriage could be changed to my own daughter!
"You should go and test the Jiang family's attitude first to see what they mean. They say you should bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law and look up to marry your daughter off. Now it's the Jiang family that wants to marry." Xu Liqun said.

"Then I'll make an appointment with Chengxu's mother to discuss it tomorrow." Wang Mingxia thought, no matter how calculating her sister-in-law is, it will be useless if her daughter is not on the same page with her.

In the darkness, Xu Manman cried herself to sleep, snoring softly. There was no moonlight outside the window, nor were there the streetlights that were everywhere in later generations. Xu Qinghuan was less than a meter away and could only see a hazy figure bulging on the bed.

She touched the red mole on her left wrist, felt a slight warmth, and found herself in a familiar space.

Here are towering mountains, vast plains, endless forests and boundless oceans.

The soil exudes a fresh scent, and the bamboo forest is filled with the sound of phoenixes singing in the breeze.

Not far away, several cranes were flying among the white clouds.

She was standing in front of the gate of the Silver Light Palace Square, with terraces full of medicinal herbs at her feet. A stream of spiritual spring flowed down from the mountains, along a bamboo pipe, through a mechanism, and turned into water mist, pouring into the medicinal fields.

The palace towers high in the clouds, and mist lingers in front of me.

Xu Qinghuan was sincerely happy that the Xirang Space could come along.

This is the space hidden inside the ancestral red jade stone, which her grandfather gave her before his death. The moment she got it in her hand, it melted into her wrist and turned into a bright red mole.

There is a small world inside, the space is very large and boundless, and no one knows which great immortal cultivator left it here.

It was a pity that she was too rich in her previous life and struggled every day. She never thought that she would travel through time. She did not sell all kinds of movable and immovable properties before traveling through time like those powerful people who traveled through time and then made large purchases. As a result, the food and clothing in the Silver Light Palace were pitifully scarce.

Even if she went to the black market to trade, the several hundred kilograms of rice and flour in her space could not be sold for much money. As for selling medicinal herbs, it was even more like an old man hanging himself. Traditional Chinese medicine was now the target of criticism.
