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

Chapter 350

Someone rescued Zhao Jianjun; his leg had been frozen in the ice hole for too long, and he was sure to suffer in the future.

Xie Cuixi had no choice but to agree to Liu Dongmei's marriage and arranged with the Jiang family to cancel the engagement today.

Xu Qinghuan gave Zhao Shusheng an acupuncture needle, mainly to wake him up faster. "Accountant Zhao is a smart man. Isn't this good? Once he's married into the family, all the problems are solved, and everything will be convenient!"

Zhao Shusheng was furious. The Zhao family's reputation was ruined today. From now on, people would point fingers at him and Zhao Jianjun whenever they saw them.
He glared at Xu Qinghuan, preparing to say something harsh, but Jiang Xingye pulled his fiancée behind him to shield her. "Accountant Zhao, this isn't feudal times anymore. We don't practice polygamy. You're officially engaged to us, but you're secretly keeping a mistress. What kind of nonsense is this?"

We demand an explanation when we called off the engagement today!

To put it bluntly, it's about getting compensation!

Jiang Xingye wasn't after the money; he just didn't want people to look down on the Jiang family.

Jiang Xingmei said angrily, "Brother, I don't want anything, just get it clean, it's too dirty!"

Jiang Xingye nodded, "Okay, then let's make sure it's completely refunded."

Before noon, the Zhao family of three arrived.

The Jiang family had prepared all the betrothal gifts that the Zhao family had previously brought. The two families returned the marriage certificate and each received the gifts they had originally given to the other. That was the end of it.

Jiang Xingmei never showed up, and Zhao Jianjun was still quite unwilling to give up before leaving.

After returning home, he thought about it carefully and realized that he had really been out of his mind. Why had he become so infatuated with Liu Dongmei? Not only did he end up with a ruined reputation, but he also lost out on many benefits.

Their visit to Shangjiang Brigade today was a completely different experience from before; in fact, it made them feel a bit like city people.

Zhao Jianjun wasn't the only one who couldn't give up; Zhao Shusheng was also filled with remorse. However, he didn't blame his son; he only blamed that bitch Liu Dongmei.

“Look, Lao Jiang, we’ve known each other for decades. You should know in your heart that things have come to this point, it’s not what the outside world says. The children are still young and don’t understand. Tell me, did it really have to come to this?” Zhao Shusheng still wanted to appeal to Jiang Baohua’s emotions.

But Jiang Baohua took Jiang Xingmei's words to heart. The marriage was arranged beforehand, back then because the Zhao family was deeply rooted in Liaozhong Brigade and had a voice, so that his daughter would not be bullied after marrying into the family.

But now he doesn't care about these things anymore. His family's fortunes are bound to rise in the future, so he has to be careful when choosing a partner.

No matter what, we can't let Xu Qinghuan be implicated.

Xie Cuixi chimed in, "Yes! I heard your eldest daughter got divorced and came back. It's not good to leave both daughters at home. Xingmei is getting old, and your fifth daughter is getting married soon, right? Will you be able to accommodate your future nephew's wife?"

Let alone a nephew's wife, even daughters-in-law don't like to interact with their husband's younger sister.

Zhou Guizhi said, "My fifth son is getting married in the second half of the year. What's this about being able to tolerate each other? The young couple can live separately, and I'll help them out if they need anything. As for the two daughters, the older one can take care of her child on her own. As for Xingmei, I plan to stay for a couple more years."

Zhao Jianjun's eyes lit up; there was still hope for him.

Xie Cui said happily, "You're not young anymore, if you stay any longer you'll become an old maid!"

"What's wrong with being an old maid? In the current situation of my Shangjiang Brigade, even if we recruit a son-in-law to live with us, there are still people who can't outrun us." Zhou Guizhi looked Zhao Jianjun up and down with a disdainful look. "You two should hurry up with your wedding. If you wait any longer, your belly will get too big and you won't look good."

Having said no more, Zhao Shusheng decisively got up and left.

Xu Qinghuan, having nothing to do, was having a snowball fight with some children at the village entrance. Several people were watching, holding fire pits. When they saw Zhao Shusheng's family coming over, someone asked, "Is the marriage completely called off? I'm not saying this to be mean, but Xingmei is really capable. I heard she's getting this much salary this month." Zhao Jianjun saw the person hold up four fingers.

"How much? Forty? Oh dear, my wife is clumsy with her hands; she only earned less than thirty yuan this month. Xingmei uses an electric sewing machine; she's fast. She can make five pieces for every one other person makes, and she does them very well!"

Someone asked, "Xu, when will your garment factory get a few more electric sewing machines?"

Xu Qinghuan clapped her hands and gave each child a White Rabbit milk candy. "Auntie, this electric sewing machine is very fast. You need to be very skilled to use it. Otherwise, if you ruin one garment, a month's worth of work will be wasted, and you won't be able to make up for it."

"Alright, I'll go back and have my daughter-in-law practice more."

"Me too. I'll talk to my daughter nicely and tell her to sew a few more clothes when I have time."

Now, Shangjiang Brigade has become one of the textile factory's major customers. Many of the factory's scraps are sold or given to Shangjiang Brigade at half price. Xu Qinghuan can design some patchwork clothes, and they are very beautiful.

However, some of the fragments were not useful, so Xu Qinghuan would ask Qiao Xinyu to give them to them as a reward, to take back and make shoe uppers or something, and some people would use them to practice piecing together clothes.

Hearing these words, Zhao Shusheng was deeply moved.

After walking for a while and finding himself alone, he exclaimed, "The Jiang family is truly blessed to have such a daughter-in-law!"

Why didn't the Zhao family have this luck?
Zhao Jianjun had only just seen the legendary Xu Zhiqing these past two days. He felt as if she had stepped out of a painting. Needless to say, her features were breathtakingly beautiful, and her demeanor was one of composure, elegance, and nobility that he had never seen before.

Zhao Jianjun is a primary school Chinese teacher and an artistic young man. He has read many books and longed for beautiful love. Otherwise, why would he have boldly and proactively pursued Liu Dongmei?

He had always thought that the fairy-like figure described in the book was ultimately just a figure in the book, a figment of people's imagination.

But today, reality dealt him a fatal blow: it turns out that such a god-like person really exists!
He was just like a frog in a well before, and had no chance to see it.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.

But he dared not provoke Jiang Xingye.

"How could Xu Zhiqing like that good-for-nothing Jiang Xingye? Could she have been forced into it?" Zhao Jianjun said in a tone of indignation.

“It’s hard to say!” Xie Cuixi agreed with her son’s opinion.

"Dad, should we talk to the higher-ups about this?"

Now, the Zhao family and the Jiang family are at odds. If the Jiang family cannot be crushed, since they are both in the same commune, the Jiang family will get better and better, while their family will get worse and worse, and they will become very passive in everything.

"We definitely have to bring it up." Zhao Shusheng thought of Dong Xinmin from Shangjiang Brigade, who had gone against the Jiang family and was now suffering on the farm.

The Jiang family can't do anything about him now, but what about the future?
He heard rumors that Jiang Baohua might be transferred to the commune.

Xu Qinghuan was naturally unaware of all this. With the New Year approaching, Chen Dewen and the others came over to discuss what to eat for the New Year. Zhou Chang'an and Liu Zhijian also came over, wanting to invite Xu Qinghuan and the others to spend the New Year at the educated youth settlement, so that everyone could have a reunion dinner together.

Meanwhile, in the county town, Li Shouzhi's family was also discussing matters for the Spring Festival.

Jian Jingchuan was stationed here to capture Japanese spies. He didn't return to his unit before the New Year and spent the holiday at Li Shouzhi's house. Zhang Meifeng suggested that Xu Qinghuan be brought over for the New Year.

Happy reading, kids!
