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

Chapter 348 Whose child is she carrying?

Before Jiang Baohua could even say their names, the commune members had already spontaneously shouted, "Xiao Wu and Xu Zhiqing!"

At least they still have a conscience!

Jiang Baohua was very pleased.

"Okay, that's settled. Come and collect your money!"

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye have already received their dividends. The majority of the dividends received by the commune members today came from the production team's investment, and were then distributed according to each household's work points for the year.

The factory's production time was still short, with some earning only a little over ninety yuan and others as little as twenty-three yuan. The educated youth also received money, which was like a windfall.

In addition, each household has laborers receiving wages, some of whom have been receiving them for two or three months, which adds up to several tens of yuan.

This year, the production team had a bumper harvest, and families with more laborers received several hundred yuan at the end of the year.

There's a market in the 29th Commune, which is a regular annual event organized by the commune members. Each household brings out their own produce to sell. This year, the harvest was bad, so even people were selling steamed buns.

I thought it wouldn't sell well, but when the people from Shangjiang Brigade came, they swept everything off the market like Japanese soldiers entering a village.

"Oh dear, I've been so busy this year, I haven't had time to make sticky rice cakes!"

"These frozen pears are nice, let's buy some! They're cheaper, only a little over a hundred. Okay, we'll take them."

"Buy some haystacks to take home; they're delicious eaten dry or stir-fried."

……

Xu Qinghuan was also brought over by Jiang Xingye early in the morning, riding in Uncle Gensheng's horse-drawn sleigh.

The Jiang family made a lot of sticky rice cakes this year and brought a lot over to Xu Qinghuan. Everyone ate them together, and they were all gone in just a couple of meals. She really liked them and bought fifty or sixty of them herself.

There were also frozen pears. Luo Jinhao had gotten a basket of them somewhere before, and after eating most of them, he bought another basket.

Jiang Xingye went out in the middle of the night a couple of days ago and brought back two baskets of supplies, including mutton and beef, frozen solid. However, with so many of them, they finished them off in just two meals.

There were people selling them at the market, and the prices were a bit high, but it was a rare opportunity, so the two of them bought them.

At noon, the two ate at a state-run restaurant, each ordering a bowl of hot mutton offal soup noodles, which warmed them up nicely.

The things we bought were put on a sled, and Uncle Gensheng helped transport them back.

The group from Shangjiang Brigade was exceptionally large. There were almost no sellers, but many buyers. When they arrived, they discussed how much income their families would have this year, and when they left, they discussed what they had bought.
"Xingmei, look who that is, and who they're with?"

Jiang Xianglan pulled Jiang Xingmei aside. She was so shocked that she didn't keep her voice down. The commune members, who were talking enthusiastically, all stopped abruptly. They saw two people pulling and tugging at each other not far away.

Who else could it be but Zhao Jianjun and Liu Dongmei?

Zhou Guizhi was furious and was about to rush forward, but Jiang Xingmei held her back. Her eyes immediately reddened. "I've heard that Jianjun and Liu Zhiqing are in love. Mom, nowadays everyone advocates free love. Please let me have their happy ending!"

When Zhou Guizhi heard her daughter say this, she immediately understood what her daughter meant. She slapped her thigh and played along, saying, "Oh dear, what kind of misfortune has my Jiang family committed? Our children's marriages are all so unhappy!"

"Is my Jiang family's daughter really so eager to marry into the Zhao family? Is this some kind of bullying?"

Something's not right with the story going!
Xu Qinghuan was also a little confused, but then she thought that the current situation in Shangjiang Brigade and Jiang Family was different from what was described in the book. Although the educated youth were city dwellers, who knew when they would be able to return to the city?

Zhao Jianjun loves Liu Dongmei, but the Zhao family isn't stupid; they will definitely force him to fulfill the marriage agreement.

That's true. Liu Dongmei couldn't hold back any longer when she saw that Zhao Jianjun was still not breaking off the engagement with Jiang Xingmei. But she had no hope of returning to the city, and her fiancé had cheated on her. If she didn't find someone to marry soon, she would become an old maid.

At first, she played hard to get, trying to hook Zhao Jianjun. Zhao Jianjun fell for it.

Later, she had no choice but to do everything she could and couldn't do, including doing everything she did with Zhao Jianjun.

Zhao Jianjun didn't even tell his family, which shows he was hesitant.

Liu Dongmei was scared, so she exposed the matter to everyone, forcing Zhao Jianjun to marry her.

Today, members from several production brigades came to the market. She deliberately made this commotion so that everyone would see. If Zhao Jianjun didn't cooperate, she had her own ways of dealing with it.

If the Jiang and Zhao families can break off their engagement, Zhao Jianjun will have no choice but to marry her.

Zhao Jianjun's parents also saw it and were furious. Zhao Shusheng glanced at his wife, Xie Cuixi.

Xie Cuixi had already seen Zhou Guizhi's reaction. Her heart skipped a beat. There was another reason why she refused to break off the engagement with the Jiang family.

Jiang Xingye's wife has connections in the military; she's related to the head of the armed forces department.

Zhao Jianjun's brother is in the army. If he wants to be promoted, he has to find a way.
Why not take advantage of the readily available benefits and instead choose a good-for-nothing educated youth who can't do anything right, eats everything, and you'd have to treat her like royalty after marrying her?
Xie Cuixi rushed forward and pushed Liu Dongmei away.

As a result, Liu Dongmei fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and wailing.

Zhao Jianjun's face turned pale as he realized what he was thinking.

Xu Qinghuan stepped forward, pinched Liu Dongmei's wrist, and checked her pulse for a moment. "Congratulations, you're pregnant!"

This was exactly the effect Liu Dongmei wanted, but at this moment, she feigned shock, covering her face and sobbing, "Go away, this child has nothing to do with you. I didn't want this either, I know you're engaged, it's my fault for not being able to bring myself to refuse you!"

Xie Cui was so angry that she trembled all over.

At this moment, Zhou Guizhi rushed up, and Jiang Xingmei stopped pulling.

But as she stood before the three men, she only panted heavily, her face flushed, and said nothing.

If she says nothing, she can actually evoke sympathy from others.

Jiang Xingye came over and punched Zhao Jianjun, "Aren't you fucking bullying people? If you want to marry that educated youth, come to my house to break off the engagement first. Is Xingmei determined to marry you or what? You dog, you're hypocritical. Who are you bullying?"

Zhao Shusheng rushed over and pulled Jiang Xingye aside, "Xingye, don't be angry, it's not true. Jianjun and this educated youth have nothing going on. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Liu Dongmei was struck dumb, looking at Zhao Jianjun in disbelief.

She hoped Zhao Jianjun would say a few words.

But Zhao Jianjun turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xingmei. Seeing her beautiful hair and face, her fashionable cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and her stylish cotton boots, he didn't say a word.

Jiang Xingye laughed in anger, pointing at Liu Dongmei and asking, "Then whose child is she carrying?"

Zhao Shusheng laughed and said, "We don't know about that. Anyway, it's not Jianjun's. Everyone knows that Jianjun and Xingmei are engaged, and Jianjun has a job. They like to bring up Jianjun all the time. We're used to it."

Liu Dongmei burst into tears.

Xu Qinghuan stood up. When she took Liu Dongmei's pulse, she hadn't noticed any signs of miscarriage, nor had she paid attention to Liu Dongmei lying in the snow. Instead, she wiped her hands and said...
“There’s no smoke without fire. Three months ago, we knew that Comrade Zhao Jianjun and Liu Zhiqing were getting close.”

We've been waiting for an explanation from you, and now that things have escalated to this point, you still think you can get away with it? Do you think we're fools?

Happy reading, my dears!
