Jiang Cheng pushed open the car door and ran to the bathroom.

Coming and going, Jiang Cheng opened the back car door, took out a bag from inside, and turned to stuff it into Uncle Zhang’s hands.

"Take it! Uncle Zhang, are you looking down on me if you don’t take it?"

The same tactic left Uncle Zhang searching for words for a long time.

"I’m an adult, what do I want with a child’s things! Take it back! Take it back!"

Jiang Cheng retreated a step playfully, with her hands behind her back.

"I don’t care! If you don’t take it, I won’t want the things you give me either."

Uncle Zhang looked at Jiang Cheng helplessly.

"You little girl——"

"You’re all spoiling me!"

Jiang Cheng said with a grin, and then got in the car, closing the door.

"Uncle Zhang, I’m afraid it will snow, so I’m not going up the mountain to pay respects to... my parents today, I’ll come before the New Year, this bag has some yellow paper, please help me burn some for them."

Uncle Zhang nodded seriously and said: "Rest assured, I clean up for them every time I go up the mountain."

"During the New Year... if the weather is bad, don’t bother coming back; I’ll take care of it for you."

Jiang Cheng thanked him again.

The truck slowly started up, the engine roaring, and Jiang Cheng waved goodbye to Uncle Zhang.

"Jiang Cheng?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Cheng turned and looked at Sister Lian who touched her.

Sister Lian nodded upwards, and Jiang Cheng followed her gaze.

The Jiang Family.

Could it be that they still want to make trouble?

This stubborn?

Just as Jiang Cheng was preparing to fight, the Jiang Family unexpectedly turned and ran towards a small path.

Jiang Cheng blinked.

It seemed they only ran when they saw who was in the car.

So... they were afraid of her?

Jiang Cheng nodded to herself, not bad at all!

Sister Lian also saw the Jiang Family fleeing, slightly disdainful: "At least they still have some sense."

The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and ignored the Jiang Family.

But they really guessed right.

The Jiang Family was curious to see the truck and ended up seeing Jiang Cheng, the Great King Yan of the Jiang family.

Last time, Jiang Cheng led a hundred or so people to wreak havoc at home, confronted the old lady, and even got rid of the third Jiang family’s job, which was quite a shock to them.

It used to be that the Jiang family’s main branch was easy to bully, so they dared to.

Now that they’ve been told outright not to mess with them, they’re not stupid enough to rush forward.

Although in their hearts they wanted to flatter Jiang Cheng a bit, they lost their courage at the thought of a hundred people standing against them.

So, with a bully, one good beating is enough. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The truck left the Jiang family’s village and headed towards Sister Lian’s niece’s house.

As soon as they arrived at the village, they could hear the sound of drum and gong.

A bunch of kids shouted: The groom is here! The groom is here!

Accompanying Sister Lian, Jiang Cheng saw a man in an army coat with a red flower tied on his chest, pushing a bicycle towards them.

Behind the man were quite a few people, heading south.

Sister Lian saw them and hurriedly ran over.

Jiang Cheng followed closely.

They managed to get in before the groom entered the yard.

The bride’s mother was Sister Lian’s eldest sister.

"Xiao Hong—"

Sister Lian’s full name was Lian Suhong, and she was the fourth in the family.

"Big sister!"

Sister Lian walked up and was warmly greeted by the woman called big sister, who held Sister Lian’s hand and said: "Why the toss from so far away!"

Sister Lian kindly smirked: "My niece is getting married, how could I not come?"

Big Sister Lian affectionately patted Sister Lian: "Still as sharp as ever!"

After chatting briefly, Sister Lian introduced Jiang Cheng, who nodded and stood modestly in the corner.

Director Lian’s elder sister then took Sister Lian to see the bride.

Soon, people outside started shouting the bridal party was coming.

People in the yard excitedly looked around, repeatedly shouting the groom had arrived.

The bride inside, with her mother and Sister Lian accompanying her, walked out.

With twin braids and red ribbons tied, a red cotton jacket paired with black pants, it was a fine wedding attire for the time.

"The bride is so beautiful!"

"Isn’t that right! She’s even got red ribbons tied."

"A ribbon costs several bucks."

The villagers gossiped enviously, causing the bride to lower her head bashfully.

There weren’t as many ceremonies as weddings nowadays, just the groom calling the parents mom and dad, followed by calling the bride by her name shyly.

Both were blushing from embarrassment.

Pure and sweet.

Jiang Cheng at the back smiled like a proud aunt, what a simple time!

"Brother Zhuzi—don’t marry her, she has a dirty disease!"

This sentence abruptly pushed the lively, pleasant atmosphere to a halt.

Having just admired the sweetness, Jiang Cheng followed the voice to look over.

A girl with twin braids dressed in a ragged cotton jacket burst in.

She grabbed the groom, also known as Brother Zhuzi.

"Brother Zhuzi, don’t marry her! She is shameless, unchaste, she’s sick down there from having a baby!"

The bride felt as if her world collapsed.

The attention of the surrounding villagers made her feel shaky, wanting to explain... but not knowing how.

The bride’s mother reacted quickly, pushing aside the troublemaker, and cursed her.

"You damned liar! My girl is still a maiden, you’re spewing feces out of jealousy because Zhuzi doesn’t choose you!"

The troublemaker screeched: "That’s not it! He didn’t choose me because your daughter is flirtatious!"

"If she weren’t unchaste, how could she be diseased down there?"

"I saw it myself!"

The troublemaker’s words roared in the bride’s ears.

It’s over!

It’s over!

Because she really did have something down there.

She never knew what it was, just itchy and uncomfortable.

But she really wasn’t unchaste.

"I don’t! I didn’t!"

"Zhuzi, believe me! I didn’t!"

The bride, already tear-stricken, repeated I didn’t over and over.

The groom too doubted a bit, failing to hide his expression.

This expression provoked the bride.

"Why don’t you believe me! I really didn’t!"

The bride repeated again, but the scrutinizing looks and the groom’s indecision pressed her down.

"I really didn’t!"

After one last shout, the bride rushed towards the well in the yard.

"Stop her!"

"Daughter!"

Thankfully there were many people, and amidst the grabbing and pulling, the bride was stopped.

Jiang Cheng seized the moment to tug at Sister Lian and whispered a few words in her ear; Sister Lian, furious, walked into the crowd.

*smack* a slap landed on the bride’s face.

"Clear your mind, jumping into the well won’t solve anything, what about your mom’s life!"

Sister Lian furiously scolded, then turned to the troublemaker.

Without hesitation, she slapped her once, twice in anger.

"Young as you are, yet so vicious! Let me tell you, even if my niece can’t marry him, no one will marry someone as cruel as you!"
