Chapter 166 It turns out he was lying to you.
Lu Yanxun did not come after dinner.
She and Jiang Guo had both finished showering and were getting ready for bed, but Lu Yanxun still hadn't arrived.
That night, the two sisters, Jiang Zao and Jiang Guo, lay in bed, each lost in their own thoughts.
Jiang Guo was worried that if her brother-in-law came, she wouldn't be able to sleep with her sister.
Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law didn't come today.
So ginger fruit is happy.
Jiangzao wasn't so happy.
She promised Lu Yanxun she would eat properly, and she did, but Lu Yanxun broke his promise to come over that evening.
Is there anything he needs to do that keeps him so busy until so late?
Jiang Zao stared absently toward the door, listening intently to the sounds outside.
I had a vague feeling that he was on his way and was almost there.
Unfortunately, Lu Yanxun did not appear even after Jiang Guo got out of bed and turned off the light.
In the stillness, Jiang Guo's clear voice rang in my ears: "Sister, you're absolutely right."
"What?" Jiang Zao snapped out of her daze.
Jiang Guo continued, "It's what you said during the day. You said the person who bought you pretty apples might be a liar. Your brother-in-law lied to you. He said this morning that he would come tonight. It turns out he was lying to you."
Jiangzao: "..."
That boomerang was a real slap in the face.
Jiang Zao remained silent for a long time.
Just when Jiang Guo thought her sister had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard a voice say, "You should sleep with Mom tomorrow night."
Jiang Guo was taken aback: "Huh?"
She had no idea what had happened.
Still innocent and naive, she asked, "Will my brother-in-law come tomorrow night?"
Jiang Zao replied coldly and unhappily, "Whether he comes or not, you'll sleep with Mom."
Jiang Guo: "..."
What happened?
Jiang Guo was completely bewildered.
Why did her sister suddenly get angry?
Did she say something wrong?
Jiang Guo then began to ponder what she had just said to Jiang Zao.
After reflecting on it, she suddenly realized.
Yes, she misspoke.
She just said her brother-in-law is a liar, so her sister is heartbroken.
"Sister, don't be sad. Maybe your husband didn't lie to you on purpose. He just lied to you accidentally. There's a big difference between doing it on purpose and doing it accidentally. They're not the same thing at all." Jiang Guo racked her brains to comfort her sister.
Jiang Zao was embarrassed by what she had said during the day and was feeling depressed.
Hearing this, her tone became even more ruthless: "Why don't you go sleep with Mom right now?"
Jiang Guo: "..." Okay, she'd better not say anything.
Jiang Guo wrapped herself tighter in the blanket and snuggled closer to Jiang Zao, feeling a little wronged, and shut her mouth.
But she was still unconvinced.
He's just a brother-in-law.
Her sister actually yelled at her because of her brother-in-law.
She was so heartbroken...
Finally, Jiang Guo went to sleep feeling resentful and aggrieved.
After Jiang Guo fell asleep, Jiang Zao kept her eyes open and waited for a long time.
Even when she was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping, there was still no sign of anyone coming from outside the door.
Just before falling asleep, Jiang Zao finally couldn't help but curse in her heart: Lu Yanxun, you liar!
The next morning, Jiang Zao couldn't wait to get up as soon as she woke up.
Jiang Guo, who needs to get up early for school, was awakened from her sleep by a rustling sound.
She peeked out from under the covers and saw that her sister was already dressed and standing under the bed.
"Sis, why are you up so early? Do you need to pee?" Jiang Guo asked, yawning.
On days when she has to go to school, her mother wakes her up.
I haven't woken her up yet today, so it must not be her usual wake-up time.
"Children, don't worry about adults."
Jiang Zao casually replied and walked out.
With her hair a mess, Jiang Guo blinked sleepily, stared blankly for a moment, and then muttered in confusion, "Is needing to pee a problem for adults?"
After muttering those words, Jiang Guo remained silent for a while.
"Don't kids ever need to pee?" Jiang Guo muttered again.
Then he collapsed back into bed and went back to sleep.
Her mother hadn't called her yet, so she decided to sleep a little longer.
When Jiang Zao left, Zhou Meixia had just gotten up and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for the whole family.
When she saw Jiang Zao come out, she assumed she had gotten up to use the restroom.
Before she could say anything, Jiang Zao spoke up first: "Mom, didn't Yan Xun come last night?"
Zhou Meixia paused, "No, he didn't come last night."
"Oh," Jiang Zao replied disappointedly.
Lu Yanxun, a big liar.
They said they'd come after they finished work in the afternoon, but they didn't come in the afternoon, they didn't come in the evening, and they still haven't come even though it's already dawn!
Jiang Zao cursed under her breath.
"Mom, I'm going back to sleep."
Jiang Zao left a comment and turned to go back into the house.
Seeing her suddenly darken expression and huffy back, Zhou Meixia wondered, "This girl, did she get up because she needed to pee?"
The door was closed, and no one answered.
Jiang Guo was sleeping soundly when she heard rustling sounds again.
Squinting, she saw that her sister had already taken off her coat and gotten into bed.
"Sis, what time is it?"
Feeling depressed, Jiang Zao said directly, "Go to sleep. Don't meddle in adult matters."
Ginger Fruit: "???"
Is asking a few questions a matter for adults?
Even though she was very sleepy, Jiang Guo noticed that something was wrong with her sister.
So Jiang Guo asked cautiously, "Sister, are you still angry about last night?"
Jiang Guo thought her sister was angry with her, after all, she had spoken ill of her brother-in-law last night.
She said her brother-in-law was a liar.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't said her brother-in-law was a liar, her sister wouldn't have been angry for so long.
It was only then that Jiang Guo vaguely realized how important her brother-in-law was to her sister.
She's probably more important than her own sister now.
Jiang Guo thought sadly that in her sister's heart, her status had long been inferior to that of her brother-in-law.
So sad...
Jiang Zao snorted coldly: "Why should I be angry? He can come if he wants, and he can stay if he doesn't. What's there to be angry about? Ha, who does he think he is? Does he think that just because he's handsome, rich, and good at taking care of people, everyone should revolve around him? He's dreaming! He's not that important!"
Jiang Guo, lost in thought, paused for a moment when she heard her sister's nonsensical words: "...Huh?"
what's going on?
Isn't her sister angry with her for talking badly about her brother-in-law last night?
Why do you say such strange things?
Although he was angry, it didn't seem like he was angry at her.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Jiang Zao was a little annoyed; she didn't want to talk to anyone right now. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Sister, are you angry with your husband?" Jiang Guo asked cautiously.
As a result, her sister's temper got even worse.
Another cold laugh, laced with sarcasm: "What's there about him that's worth getting angry about? Who does he think he is? Is he that important? You don't think I care about him that much, do you? You're overthinking it! He's not that important!"
Jiang Guo: "..."
Why does she feel like her sister is being sarcastic?
Jiang Guo was too afraid to speak, but Jiang Zao kept grumbling and complaining:
"What's so important about a man who doesn't keep his word? Who cares? Fine, okay, he doesn't keep his word, then I won't listen to anything he says anymore. I was going to make clothes for him? Forget it! I only make clothes for important people, he's not that important!"
Jiang Guo: "..." Okay, she understands now. It turns out her sister wasn't angry with her, but with her brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law didn't come last night.
Exactly, if someone promises to come but doesn't, what is that if not lying?
No wonder her sister was so angry.
Thank goodness, her sister isn't angry with her.
Jiang Guo quietly wrapped herself in the blanket and went back to sleep.
Jiang Zao grumbled for a while, but when she realized no one was paying attention to her, she finally went to sleep, feeling deflated.
But she hoped that when she woke up again, Lu Yanxun would appear in front of her.
Otherwise, she won't talk to him for the next three days!
Jiang Zao took another two hours of nap. This time she slept very soundly and didn't even know when Jiang Guo next to her got up.
She didn't wake up until Zhou Meixia called her to get up for breakfast.
"Mom, what time is it?"
Jiang Zao glanced out the window and saw that the sun had already risen.
Zhou Meixia drew all the curtains open, turned around and said, "It's eight o'clock. Guozi has already finished breakfast and gone to school. I didn't wake you because I saw you weren't awake. I left some food for you to keep warm in the pot. Get up and eat."
"Didn't Lu Yanxun come?" Jiang Zao asked.
Although she didn't have much hope, she still couldn't help but ask.
"She didn't come." Zhou Meixia turned around and glanced at her daughter.
She then spoke up for her son-in-law, saying, "He must be too busy with work to come right now. It takes several hours to travel from the city to our house and back. If he's busy too late, he definitely can't come. Yesterday you told him to leave, but he wouldn't. If he really had free time, he would definitely come to see you."
Zhou Meixia's words comforted Jiang Zao.
These words also calmed my anxious heart.
Jiang Zao finally softened her expression and nodded: "That's true. Sometimes, he really has no choice in his job."
Zhou Meixia smiled and comforted him, "He'll definitely come to see you when he's done with his work. His wife and kids are here; where else could he go?"
Upon hearing the words "wife and children," a faint smile finally appeared on Jiang Zao's face.
Yes, she is Lu Yanxun's wife.
She was pregnant with his child; if he had free time, where else would he go but to see her?
It's because of her bad attitude; she's too harsh on him.
Jiang Zao mentally reassured herself, then listened to her mother and got up to eat.
This morning I wasn't hungry and didn't have much of an appetite, but Jiangzao still forced herself to finish all the porridge her mother served her and even ate half a pancake.
While eating, she was thinking about how she had promised Lu Yanxun that she would eat obediently, and she had to keep her promise.
However, Jiang Zao thought that when Lu Yan came today, she would deliberately scare him.
Just tell him he didn't eat properly.
Wait until he calms down before telling him it was a lie.
He was the one who lied to her first, making her lose face in front of her sister.
This debt must be settled with Lu Yanxun.
After Jiang Guo and Jiang Bei went to school, Zhou Meixia also started to take care of various trivial matters at home.
She even wiped down the bicycle that Lu Yanting had given to Jiang Guo.
With no one to chat with, Jiang Zao couldn't stay inside, so she sat in the yard watching her mother wipe the bicycle.
With her elbows resting on her knees and her hands supporting her chin, Jiang Zao said lazily, "Mom, this car is new, it doesn't need to be wiped down, does it?"
“Only new cars need to be wiped clean. I saw a few mud spots on it, so I wiped them clean. This was a gift from your sister-in-law, so I have to take good care of it.” Zhou Meixia said with a smile.
While carefully wiping the mud off the car, she said with a smile, "This car is really nice. Your sister-in-law is really generous. It seems she truly likes you as her sister-in-law. I used to worry a lot about the discord between you two."
Zhou Meixia's tone was full of relief.
Jiang Zao couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, they all like me a lot, and they're all very nice to me."
I remember when I woke up in the hospital, the two little girls were terrified.
Jiang Zao's smile deepened as she recalled the scene of eating someone else's pet chicken that they had raised themselves.
All the sisters-in-law are good sisters-in-law, it's just that she, as a sister-in-law, is not quite up to par.
Although it was all the original owner's fault.
However, Jiang Zao still thought that in order to make up for the psychological trauma that the original owner had caused to her sisters-in-law, she would try her best to be a qualified sister-in-law in the future.
“I know your temper; you never want to suffer any loss. But these young girls respect you as their sister-in-law and consider you family. You should also take good care of them. If there are any minor disagreements, don’t take them too seriously,” Zhou Meixia patiently advised.
Jiang Zao patiently agreed, "I understand, Mom, that's what I think too."
"Wow, this bicycle is so beautiful!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered my ears.
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Zao's smile froze.
I don't even need to look to know it's Ye Xiaolan's fake best friend again.
Why is she here again? It's so annoying.
Jiang Zao quickly put on a fake smile and turned to greet people: "Xiaolan, you're here."
"Yeah, I came to visit you since I had nothing else to do." Ye Xiaolan's smile was much brighter than Jiang Zao's fake smile, as if she didn't know how annoying she was.
Jiang Zao asked curiously, "Is there really no work at the factory? That's unlikely. I remember when I used to work at the factory, we were always very busy."
"Xiaolan's here! Help yourself to a stool," Zhou Meixia greeted her.
Ye Xiaolan responded and moved a stool to sit next to Jiang Zao.
"I quit my job, so I don't need to go to the factory anymore."
"Why did you suddenly quit your job?" Jiang Zao asked, somewhat surprised.
She was surprised to hear the news that Ye Xiaolan had resigned.
They were from the same village and childhood friends, so Jiang Zao knew very well about Ye Xiaolan's family situation.
Ye Xiaolan's family wasn't well-off, much like Jiang Zao's family used to be. Although her family had managed to get her into junior high school, she still had three younger brothers in school.
She spends most of her monthly salary on supporting her family.
Despite seemingly being superior to Jiang Zao in every way, she actually had far less money left in her pocket after receiving her salary each month than Jiang Zao did.
Moreover, job opportunities in textile factories are not easy to come by. The original owner of this body, Jiang Zao, only decided to quit her job after she was certain that Lu Yanxun would marry her.
Ye Xiaolan just quit her job so casually, is she getting married?
Jiangzao became somewhat interested.
Ye Xiaolan didn't rush to answer Jiang Zao's question, but instead touched the hair on her forehead.
She asked, "Jiang Zao, have you seen my new perm? Does it look good?"
Without Ye Xiaolan's reminder, Jiang Zao didn't even notice that her bangs were curlier than before.
"Didn't you get your bangs permed before? You got them permed again? It looks great." Jiang Zao nodded after looking at it.
"I permed it a bit too long before, so it wasn't very curly anymore. I quit my job yesterday and got it permed again." Ye Xiaolan confidently flipped her bangs, which were even curlier than before.
She styled her hair in a long, flowing style today and even put on some makeup, feeling incredibly chic.
Jiang Zao, with her large pregnant belly and casually disheveled hair, was no match for her at all.
Jiang Zao looked Ye Xiaolan up and down again, nodding repeatedly: "Oh, beautiful, beautiful."
Ye Xiaolan smiled confidently before answering Jiang Zao's earlier question: "What future is there in working in a factory? I plan to go to the city with you to find a job."
Jiang Zao thought Ye Xiaolan had said something wrong and automatically ignored the words "with you".
"It's good to find a job in the city," Jiang Zao said, expressing her support.
People strive for higher positions. Although the two were not true best friends, putting aside their past grievances, she felt that Ye Xiaolan's reason was not unreasonable.
Ye Xiaolan grabbed Jiang Zao's hand and looked at her with surprise and delight: "So you agreed! Jiang Zao, I knew you wouldn't forget your best friend who's been playing with me since childhood!"
Jiang Zao: "..." What did she agree to?
Wait a minute, she thought for a moment.
Jiang Zao's brain started working quickly, and finally she realized what was going on.
So, Ye Xiaolan wasn't wrong just now; what she really meant was to go to the city with her to find a job.
