Xiang Jin fetched a basin of water and tidied up the house, then made the bed. Then he changed out of his clothes and washed them. Then he leaned on the bedside with a book and read.
Xiang Lan came in carrying the small table on her bed, "Sister, if you want to write inscriptions, you can use this one of mine, right?"
Xiang Jin touched her head and gave her a faint smile, "No, I won't do any questions or write today. It's a rare time to come back. How can I be soaked in those questions every day? I have to have a good day today."
Take a break and relax!”
Xiang Lan said "oh" in a low voice.
Xiang Jin pulled her over and asked, "It's you, how are you doing lately? Is it difficult to study?"
The little girl is in fifth grade now and will be entering junior high school next year.
Xiang Lan shook his head, "Fortunately for me, I can understand everything the teacher said. Although I am not among the top one or two in the class every time I take the exam, I never fall behind the fifth place."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good, then keep it up and try to get into a key middle school to study in junior high school?!"
"Well," the little girl nodded heavily, then looked at her and called her dependently, "Sister?!"
"Huh?! What's wrong?!" Xiang Jin turned to look at her.
When he met her lacquer-like eyes, Xiang Lan shook his head again, "Nothing!" and then smiled at her.
Xiang Jin also smiled gently at her. When the two sisters were having a good chat, they heard Yang Juyun's voice coming in from outside, "Oh, be gentle, be gentle, yes, just put it here."
Xiang Lan and Xiang Jin walked to the door to take a look, and then they saw Yang Juyun coming back after buying a wall-mounted air conditioner, and behind her were two delivery and installation personnel.
She didn't see sisters Xiang Jin and Xiang Lan, but she was talking to Xiang Jin and her grandfather with her back to them. It was probably their grandfather who was asking her what she bought.
I saw Yang Juyun saying, "It's not hot, but I'm afraid that Weiwei won't be used to living in our countryside, so I bought an air conditioner from that shopping mall and installed it in her room later.
You’ll sleep better if you leave it on at night.”
Ouyang Weiwei lowered her eyes and looked embarrassed for causing trouble.
Xiang Jin saw her grandfather frown and asked, "How much did this air conditioner cost?"
Yang Juyun just said how much it would cost.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather said with some disapproval, "How many electric fans can you buy for an air conditioner? The electric fan can be turned on all night long!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ouyang Weiwei had a look of embarrassment on her face, and Yang Juyun took her hand and comforted her, "Your grandpa doesn't understand anything, don't worry too much?"
Ouyang Weiwei smiled and nodded at her.
Xiang Jin returned to the room again. Xiang Lan stared at the mother and daughter not far away and stamped his feet, then let out a heavy cold snort, then turned around and entered the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't help complaining, "Mom gives her everything, as if she is her daughter."
Seeing her indignant look, Xiang Jin knew that this little girl was disgusted. She was about to comfort her when she saw Yang Juyun standing at the door of the room.
She didn't come in either. Instead, after scanning the room, she said to Xiang Jin, "Oh, you moved here? OK, then Weiwei will live in the room before you."
Huh? She is not in good health, so I bought her an air conditioner and installed it."
Xiang Jin looked at her, his eyes calm and motionless. She nodded slightly, "Whatever!"
Yang Juyun turned around and directed the two deliverymen to install the air conditioner.
Then Xiang Jin looked at Xiang Lan aside and said, "Okay, you can go out too. I'll read for a while."
"Oh well!"
Xiang Jin cooked dinner with her grandpa. Her grandpa slaughtered a chicken. Xiang Jin divided the chicken into two halves and made half of it into soup, half of which was braised in soy sauce. As for the offal, she stir-fried the chicken with pickled peppers.
Eat together.
Since Ouyang Weiwei was still ill, Xiang Jin's food was relatively light and he didn't dare to put more chili peppers in it, but everyone still ate happily.
Then Ouyang Weiwei said, "Xiang Jin, I didn't expect your food to be so delicious?"
Xiang Jin smiled slightly at her, and when he was about to respond, Xiang Lan interrupted him with an annoyed look on his face, "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep. Please don't talk while eating!"
Ouyang Weiwei's expression suddenly became a little uncomfortable again.
Yang Juyun hit Xiang Lan on the back of her hand with the tip of her chopsticks, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't say a few words while eating?"
Xiang Lan squinted her eyes and glared at her mother displeasedly, "Originally, talking while eating is unhygienic, and I'm not afraid of spitting into other people's bowls. My sister and brother Yan Chen always eat
I don’t like eating when I’m young!”
Yang Juyun raised the chopsticks and wanted to hit her again. Xiang Lan jumped up and hid behind Xiang Jin. With Xiang Jin blocking her, Yang Juyun was unable to drop the chopsticks, but she said relentlessly, "You
What a damn girl, now the bigger her mouth is, the more she chews!"
Xiang Lan snorted again, and Xiang Jin and her grandfather suddenly put the chopsticks hard on the dining table, "Okay, let's all eat well, there are so many words!"
Xiang Lan and her mother Yang Juyun were silent, and Xiang Jin put a piece of chicken feet into Xiang Lan's bowl, "Hey, here's this for you, take it and grab the money!"
When Xiang Lan saw it, his eyes suddenly narrowed into slits with a smile, "Thank you, sister!"
This girl likes to nibble on chicken feet. Whether it's roasted, marinated, or stewed, she rushes to eat them every time they're cooked. She calls them euphemistically, eating the chicken feet will help you make money.
Xiang Jin smiled slightly at her pleased look, then turned around and saw Ouyang Weiwei opposite her looking at her and Xiang Lan with an envious expression. Xiang Jin also smiled slightly at her.
, “If you think the taste still suits your taste, eat more.”
"Well, okay, thank you!"
After breakfast the next day, Xiang Jin was standing in the hall packing her things, when Ouyang Weiwei ran over to her with two books and asked, "Xiang Jin, can you give me two copies of your book to go home and read?"
Xiang Jin saw that the two books she was holding were the "Zizhi Tongjian" that Yan Chen had given her. She was about to say "no", but Yang Juyun passed her directly.
He responded, "What's wrong with that? You can read whatever you want about the books on the bookshelf. You can take as many books back as you want!"
"Really?" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Ouyang Weiwei's face.
Yang Juyun looked at her with a gentle smile and said, "Of course it's true. She didn't read much of the books on the bookshelf. She just left them there and they were dusted!"
Seeing the two girls singing along and deciding the ownership of her books as if she didn't exist, Xiang Jin was so angry that she laughed.
This Yang Juyun was just getting on her nose. She took into account the feelings of the elders of the old Yang family, so she tolerated her again and again, tolerated her again and again, and didn't care about her so much. But she didn't expect that she was such a person.
She can't stand on the stage. If that's the case, why should she care so much?
So she walked directly towards them, and then took the two books out of Ouyang Weiwei's hands, "Sorry, I can't give these books to you!"
After saying that, she carried her backpack directly into Ouyang Weiwei's room, then moved the complete set of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" from the bookshelf, and then put them all into her backpack.
Then she also took down the physical books she had written from the bookshelf.
Yang Juyun and Ouyang Weiwei were both stunned. Yang Juyun rushed directly to Xiang Jin and said, "You said you don't read these books. What happened to Weiwei taking back two of them?"
The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Who said I don't read it? I read it all the time! Besides, these are my books, why did you cross my path and give these books to others? Have you ever asked me what I meant?
Taking without asking is stealing!”
"You?!" Yang Juyun was immediately speechless by her question and could only stare at her with angry eyes.
Xiang Jin glanced at her lightly, then moved his gaze to Ouyang Weiwei who was following him. Then he opened the page of the book and faced her with several large characters written in pen, "Ouyang Weiwei, didn't you see?"
Was this book given to me by someone else? Do you think it’s okay for you to come to me and ask for books that someone else gave me?”
Ouyang Weiwei looked at the flying handwriting and said, "Yes, I'm sorry Xiang Jin, I, I didn't read it, just because I saw it was "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which was my book in the city before.
I saw it in the library and bought a few copies later, but I didn’t
I bought all of them, but this version of the book never came out. I saw that you had it here, and then I got excited and took these two books out to find you. I'm sorry, Xiang Jin, I didn't know that this book was originally given by someone else.
Yours, I really don’t know!”
The sarcasm at the corner of Xiang Jin's mouth became more intense. She didn't want to listen to her sophistry. Do you think she would believe it? What kind of person has she not seen before? Who wants to deceive her with just such a little trick?
There was a hint of evil in the corner of her mouth, "Ouyang Weiwei, I can give you some things, but you can't touch some things. If you touch my things without my consent, I
Do you still think you are trying to steal love with a sword?"
Ouyang Weiwei was startled, her pupils shrank, and then she looked aggrieved and confused and said in a panic, "Xiang, Xiang Jin, I, I didn't mean it, I really didn't
Intentional, I, I, I didn’t, really didn’t, you, you have to believe me!”
Seeing her incoherent expression, Xiang Jin didn't care whether she was really that cowardly and timid or was pretending to be so, and said directly, "You'd better be as you said, and you'd better not be! Okay,
You continue to be a loving mother and a filial daughter, and I will go back to school."
After saying that, she walked directly past the two of them and returned to her room, then took the small suitcase out of it.
When she came out, she saw her grandfather standing not far away looking at her with a sad face, "Girl Jin?!"
Xiang Jin walked over and said, "Grandpa, we have to finish the entire senior year of high school in the second semester of high school, and then the entire senior year is review time, so I may not have much time to come back later. You
Let’s talk to grandma and uncles then? I’ll come back to see you when I’m free!”
Her grandfather nodded, "Okay, then you should pay more attention to your health, live a better life, and don't be frugal. Just wait." After saying that, her grandfather went back to his room, and when he came out, he had a
After pinching a few hundred-dollar bills, he walked over to her and stuffed them into her hands.
Xiang Jin naturally wouldn't ask for it, so he said, "Grandpa, no, I have money, really money. When my second uncle came to see me last time, my grandma brought me four hundred. Later, they
When people came to see me, they also left me some money, plus
I really still have a lot of money from the scholarships I got in the past. It’s not good to have too much cash with me. I’m worried about how to put it away. As you know, it’s not safe to put it in the dormitory. So, you
It’s better not to give me a headache.”
Seeing that she insisted on not wanting it, her grandfather had no choice but to take it back with a sigh, "Okay, then grandpa won't give it to you, but if you are missing anything, just call back and let us know, and we will deliver it to you then.
"
"good!"
Xiang Jin carried the small suitcase and went out. As soon as she walked into the yard, she heard Yang Juyun say from inside, "It's better not to come back. You don't have to worry about me day by day and be angry with me!"
"Shut up!" Xiang Jin and her grandfather roared.
It suddenly became quiet inside.
The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth curled up into a mischievous smile. She felt that she had to give this cheap mother a warning, otherwise people would really think that she was a tiger and would be treated as a sick cat without showing off her power. She didn't want to
What kind of style does she use to deal with people? Do you really think that the mother and daughter who have been with her body for more than ten years have to endure the anger of her coward elder?
So she turned around and walked back, but she only went up to the street but did not enter the house. Looking at Yang Juyun inside, she said loudly, "That's not possible. After all, I have contributed money and effort to this house."
Yes, and a lot has been paid out, half of my assets are included in it, so why don’t I come back?
Of course, you don't have to admit it, but I have everyone in the bay to testify for me, and Yan Chen and Han Che can also testify for me. The money I paid for selling mulberry huang and shelled corn kernels was all
I invested in building this house and used the craftsmen to provide for life. Not only that, I will also pay for the food and clothing of your family and even Xiang Lan's tuition and fees.
If these don’t count, I also have the witnesses who came to buy pigs, grain, chickens, ducks and geese when you divorced Xiang Hai from Lao Xiang’s family. Your unique divorce scene must be remembered by many people throughout their lives.
, naturally you also have an impression of the amount of money you sold.
The total sum of all the things you had was only sold for more than 4,000 yuan. Adding in the hundreds of yuan you originally had, the total was only more than 5,000 yuan. Do you think your mere 5,000 yuan was enough?
Can such a house be built? This house, inside and out, costs at least 20,000 yuan, right?"
As expected, Yang Juyun stopped talking, and stared at her with his face turning green and white, looking very mean and ugly.
But Xiang Jin did not intend to give up there, but continued, "I also paid for the braised pork shop on the street, and I still have the original lease contract and receipt for that shop.
, strictly speaking, I am the owner of that store.
Don’t think that you are really the owner of that store after I handed over the store to you and returned the bank card to you, right?
The reason why I don't care about this with you, and I don't take these things back, is entirely because of the friendship between our mother and daughter for so many years, and also because Xiang Lan has called me my sister and grandpa for so many years.
My uncle and aunt treat me sincerely.
I want Xiang Lan to have a good living environment, and she will be able to go to college and have a good future in the future. I don’t want you to have nothing, and then have to rely on your grandparents, uncles and aunts to drag them down!
That's all!
Do you really think that you have raised me for more than ten years and I owe you, so that you can show your cold face to me unconditionally and act like a monster for all the world? But don’t forget, your daughter is still my father.
She was raised by my mother! She never suffered a single bit of hardship from my biological parents.
If it weren't for my parents, your daughter would not be in this world a few years ago due to the disease she suffered from! In terms of sacrifice, wouldn't my parents be less than yours?
She has enjoyed the happiness of more than ten years in the home that originally belonged to me. Did I care about anything with her? Did my parents and grandparents care about her?
I haven't asked you for a penny since I was in the third year of junior high school. All my expenses in school, including tuition, fees and living expenses, were all from the scholarships I received every semester and the occasional articles published in some newspapers and magazines.
The one or two thousand yuan in royalties earned from the articles are still being maintained!
So I don't owe you!
Also, it’s not that I’m relying on you, but that you’ve been relying on me!”
Yang Juyun was speechless after being refuted, and stood there with a look of shame on her face, like a wooden pile.
Xiang Jin picked up the box and turned around and left.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather called her with an ugly and distressed look on his face, "Girl Jin, girl Jin?"
Xiang Jin turned his head, looked at the old man not far away, and apologized, "Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you sad. If you don't dislike it, you and grandma will always be my grandparents, as will my two uncles and aunts."
She will always be my aunt, and Xiang Lan will always be my sister!"
"Sister?!" Xiang Lan burst into tears and hugged her body without letting go.
Xiang Jin pretended to scold her harshly, "Why are you crying? There is no future for you! Remember, study hard and get into a good university in the future."
The little girl held her and her tears started to flow even louder, each one falling down one by one, and she kept nodding her head vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Xiang Jin wiped away the tears on her face, then patted her back comfortingly, "Okay, let go, I'm going back to school. I have a heavy task this semester, and I have to go through the entire senior year of high school."
As for the grade-level classes, you have to pay close attention to your time and don’t get distracted, otherwise, you will easily not understand the following courses, and then you will not be able to get into a good university."
Xiang Lan shrugged, then let go of her hand. Xiang Jin said to her grandfather with a relaxed expression, "Grandpa, are you leaving?"
"Okay," her grandfather waved to her with a heavy heart, "Be careful on the road, please?"
"I know!"
Ouyang Weiwei was shocked. She originally thought that all these family assets were created by her mother, Yang Juyun, who was a capable and capable woman. But it turned out to be no. It turned out to be Xiang Jin, who was about the same age as her and in the same age group.
Xiang Jin, who was born in heaven, earned more than that. When she was thirteen years old and in the third grade of junior high school, she no longer spent a penny of her family's money. She greatly exceeded her own understanding of her.
She knows that she is beautiful, smart, has good academic performance, and the food is delicious. In her mind, this means she is capable and outstanding, right? But she is even better and more capable than she is! She is almost
A perfect person!
Look at yourself again, what does she have, what abilities does she have? She is not beautiful, she is not smart, she is only in the second grade of junior high school, and she is always sick. She spends three days fishing and two days drying nets, and stays at home.
She is the kind of person who has no ability and cannot contribute to the family, and she also spends money!
Unfair, so unfair!
Born on the same day, why does God favor Xiang Jin so much, giving her everything good and everything bad?
At this moment, she almost hated it all. She hated Xiang Jin for being too perfect, and hated Yang Juyun for being stupid. Why was she so petty-minded that she wanted to go to such an extent with Xiang Jin? She shouldn't ignore her on purpose.
Wouldn't she be better? That way, Xiang Jin would at least still have some affection for her. Even if she recognized her biological parents, she might not be willing to leave them!
Looking at Xiang Jin's behavior just now, she had lost all patience with her adoptive mother, was extremely disappointed in her, and had no feelings for her at all.
She said that her grandparents will always be her grandparents, her uncle and aunt will always be her uncles and aunts, and Xiang Lan will always be her sister, but she only did not mention Yang Juyun, saying that she will always be her uncle and aunt.
Her mother!
What does that mean? It means that Yang Juyun is no longer important in Xiang Jin's eyes and heart, and her aunt is no longer her mother.
The Ouyang family now very much wants to recognize her as their biological daughter. If Xiang Jin is really disgusted with her as an adoptive mother and she really returns to the Ouyang family regardless, what should she do? Is she?
Do you want to come back here too?
No, no, she can't leave the Ouyang family, she absolutely can't leave the Ouyang family! She doesn't want to come back here, she definitely doesn't want to come back here!
At this time, Ouyang Weiwei's heart was in a mess!
Xiang Jin carried the box and went directly to Yan Chen's house. When Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng and their family saw Xiang Jin like this, they couldn't help being surprised. Grandma Mo said, "Jin
Girl, what’s wrong with you?”
Xiang Jin said apologetically, "Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, please excuse me. I will leave this box with you for a while."
Everyone looked nervous and confused. Yan Chen and his grandfather, Mr. Zeng, said, "Girl Jin, are you having some conflict with your mother?"
Recently, they have also heard about some of Yang Juyun's excessive behavior. What do you think it means? If it is not your biological child, then it is not your biological child. If the child has lived with you for more than ten years, it should be better than his biological child.
, but she insisted on that point and refused to give the child a good look.
But she didn't think about it, it was unfair for her child to be her daughter. She was the daughter of a high-ranking city official, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she followed her and suffered hardships in the countryside for more than ten years.
Moreover, she did not raise this daughter in vain. Not to mention the business that the child helped her to start, and the house repairs, etc., her own biological daughter enjoyed ten thousand yuan from her biological parents.
After a few years of Qingfu, she shouldn't be so cold and violent towards other children!
Why should someone raise her daughter and spend money on her daughter’s medical treatment since childhood? But she can’t raise other people’s daughters, treat other people’s daughters well and treat them as her own children? This woman is so incapable of thinking about things.
!
Xiang Jin said, "There is no conflict, it's just that she doesn't understand some of my important books. I'm afraid that she will casually agree to take them back to Ouyang Weiwei to read and it will be difficult to find them if they are lost, so I
Just bring it and put it here for you."
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng were doubtful, so Yan Chen directly took the small suitcase in her hand, then turned around and headed upstairs to his room. Xiang Jin followed, "I also have some more in my backpack."
some."
"Okay, let's put it in my room together!"
Watching the two people go upstairs, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng both shook their heads and sighed.
When Xiang Jin took out the book from his backpack, Yan Chen was startled and immediately asked, "Are these books also supposed to be placed here?"
Xiang Jin was a little depressed and said, "They fell in love with these books and directly agreed to take them back to the city to read without my consent."
She organized the books, then opened her suitcase, put the books neatly inside one by one, and then locked her suitcase.
Looking at the scrolls, books, and other things he gave her, Yan Chen suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart. She was happy and moved. She collected everything he gave her.
He brought them all here and left them here, which proves
These things are very important in her heart, and she is also very important in her heart. The fact that she brought the things here shows that she trusts her, but at the same time, he is also distressed and angry, because she is in that home.
The current embarrassing and aggrieved situation.
"I may have to keep these things for a while, will there be no problem?" Xiang Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
Yan Chen stared at her and said, "It doesn't matter how long it takes!" But when he spoke, his voice had a hint of hoarseness.
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good!"
"Are you leaving?"
"Okay!" Yan Chen picked up the suitcase and placed it next to his suitcase.
Xiang Jin said, "Don't you think it's a bit incongruous to put my suitcase next to yours, just like the difference between the stuff in the boutique counters and the knockoffs?"
Yan Chen turned his head to look and shook his head randomly, "I don't think so! You are so simple and reserved!"
Xiang Jin asked, "Don't you feel guilty and blush when you lie?"
Yan Chen said, "Why are you feeling guilty and blushing? It's just the truth! When we look at things, we can't just look at the appearance of the object, we must look through the appearance to see the inside!"
Xiang Jin said, "That is to say, if a person is ugly but talented, then we don't need to care about his appearance, right?"
Yan Chen pretended to cough, "This still depends on the score. If this person only has business cooperation or makes normal friends, we naturally don't have to care about his appearance. If this person becomes a life partner with us,
I think it’s still necessary to take care of your partner, because it will be beneficial to future generations.”
"So it still depends on the face?" Xiang Jin nodded slightly and said.
Yan Chen nodded heavily, stared at her and said seriously, "In this case, you still have to look at your face. Of course, it's not just about your face, you also have to look at your talent and character! Good looks plus high IQ.
Stricter tutoring will be more beneficial to future generations!"
Xiang Jin nodded in agreement, "Are you very good at Mendelian genetics?"
Yan Chen asked, "Which subject did I learn poorly?"
Xiang Jin curled his lips and said, "Okay!" Then he turned around and went out.
Yan Chen took his backpack, curled up his lips, and followed him out the door.
As the two of them were walking on the road, Yan Chen suggested, "Let's go eat sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles later?"
