Mu Yanzhu took a deep look at Jiang Qingchi and suddenly held his face. When her lips and teeth were entangled, she tasted the tears in the corners of his eyes.
Although it was bitter, it was thick, and the temperature penetrated her heart and stung her bones.
After a moment, she slowly let go of him, her hand still on his face. Jiang Qingchi held her hand tightly with his backhand.
"Don't give up on me, really... I don't want to wait for you anymore. I admit that I'm not very patient. The past three years have almost driven me crazy."
"Um."
Mu Yanzhu thought to herself that this time she could really marry Jiang He, because—
"Jiang He, I will never give up on you. Thank you for giving me a sense of security. That's enough."
What's the meaning…
Jiang Qingchi's pupils shrank slightly, and then he saw Mu Yanzhu turning his head, following her gaze, and saw the old lady standing in front of the door.
"Grandma, you see, he really loves me!"
"..." The old lady was silent for a long time, then turned her face to the side and snorted, "Barely."
Jiang Qingchi has understood everything, whether it is a trial or a test, it doesn't matter. He doesn't care about these. He only cares about whether he can marry Mu Yanzhu.
"Grandma, my love for her is true. I will never let her down in this life. Please believe me!"
"Then continue to kneel here, I haven't promised you yet."
After saying that, the old lady dragged Mu Yanzhu into the house.
Jiang Qingchi didn't complain at all. If it were in the past, how could he be so humble and compromise? Love is something you and I agree on. If your family doesn't accept me, then I will leave. There is only such a woman in the world.
yes.
Now he knows very well that there is only one Mu Yanzhu in the world. If he gives up, no matter how similar the woman he meets in the future is to her, she will not be her.
He believed that Mu Yanzhu thought so in his heart, otherwise he would not have refused to accept Chu Xiangchen, because they were the only ones in the world, and no one else could replace him.
So Jiang Qingchi continued to kneel here.
The autumn rain continued, but it fell at the wrong time, just in the early morning.
Muran didn't go home last night and woke up early in the morning. It was raining and Jiang Qingchi was still kneeling outside without eating anything and his clothes were sloppy.
"Grandma, I really admire you. People are in love with each other, but you have to intervene. Does it make you feel better to see my sister in pain?"
The old lady's eyes swept away, and a cold light fell on the ground.
Mu Ran pursed her lips hard and said, "... What I said is right. The Qing Dynasty has been dead for so many years. Look at you like this. You look like the Empress Dowager Cixi, and you are even more authoritarian than the Empress Dowager Cixi."
"If you have nothing to do today, just go home and stop eating and drinking here."
As the old lady said this, her eyes changed, she looked at Mu Yanzhu who was kneeling in the front hall, and sighed.
She pulled Mu Yanzhu back last night, but she refused to sleep, saying she wanted to kneel with Jiang He. She would only get up when she let Jiang He into the house.
The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, but she was also stubborn. She said she was doing it for her own good, but Mu Yanzhu didn't refute, she just said what she said, whatever hardship he endured, he would suffer as well.
It's already eight o'clock.
Kneeling from early morning until now.
It's raining now and the ground is wet and cold. Kneeling for a long time can easily make you sick.
"Yan'er, get up, don't kneel down."
"Has grandma agreed to Jiang He entering the house?"
"He, I still don't agree!"
"...Then I won't get up either."
"You stinky girl! It's okay for a boy to kneel for three days. His body is strong enough to withstand it. If a girl catches cold on her knees, she will suffer from arthritis and joint pain in the future. Sometimes you will suffer!"
“…”
Mu Yanzhu said nothing, using silence as action.
She didn't want to compete with the old lady or swear anything. She knew that what she was doing now was not an impulse, but a commitment.
Now that I have decided to stay with him, we will share the joys and sorrows and be in a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
The old lady sighed heavily. She had sighed so many times so early in the morning. She looked helplessly at her stubborn granddaughter. Her lips like butterfly wings trembled several times. She wanted to say something, but she always lacked the warmth.
Just let him in
It's obvious that once you walk in, the marriage is set.
Not at anything else, but at the firmness and aggressiveness in the young man's eyes, which were so dazzling and looked so much like the man she loved back then.
But a man's firmness can be given to one woman or a second woman.
Man, you have no intention.
…
The rain was lingering, and the air was filled with moisture.
Mu Ran raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already half past ten. What kind of trouble was going on? !
One was kneeling outside the door, and the other was kneeling inside the door. The old lady didn't eat breakfast, she just sat there like this.
He can't stand it!
"Grandma, even a grown man like me wants to cry. Just let my brother-in-law in."
"..." The old lady was indifferent.
Mu Ran sighed and looked at Mu Yanzhu on the ground. His lips were already pale.
My sister is so stubborn that she can’t even pull ten cows back. If the old lady doesn’t let go, my sister will definitely not get up. On the one hand, she has the grandmother who has raised her for many years, and on the other hand, she has the person she likes. As a middleman, it is difficult for her sister to act as a middleman...
"Grandma, my uncle in heaven will definitely blame you when he sees you letting his daughter kneel on the ground!"
"Your uncle will not blame me, but will thank me for not marrying his precious daughter so easily. She has no money. Children from poor families still need to have some backbone. Your sister is the only girl in the Mu family. If I let She marries someone I can't trust. If your sister is bullied in the future, who will support her? I'm an old man."
The old lady said stubbornly.
"Grandma, you are old and I am young. If my brother-in-law dares to bully my sister, I will support her!"
"You'd better forget it and go home quickly. Don't let Dagang think I'm messing with his son!"
The old lady has shrewd eyes. Doesn't she know that Mu Ran and Jiang Qingchi have a good relationship
This guy wants to play the sympathy card? Still too tender.
Muran scratched his head and scratched his head, his mouth blistered with anxiety, and he looked at the sky, suddenly showing an unusually sad look.
"My poor uncle... you probably don't know that the son of the doctor who brought you back from hell is now being abused by your own mother!"
Ding.
The old lady was so surprised that her eyes bulged.
"What did you say?"
"Well, back then, when my uncle had advanced lung cancer, the doctor who operated on him and the one who paid for the operation was my brother-in-law's biological father!"
"This... this is true..."
The old lady was rarely at a loss for words. The memories from many years ago touched the tenderness in her heart and rushed into her mind in a daze. The doctor who was tall and upright was the savior of their Mu family for many years...
Calculating, if there is a child, the child should indeed be this big.
The old lady stood up unsteadily, holding on to the edge of the table. Her figure staggered, and Mu Ran stepped forward to support the old lady.
"Grandma, are you okay? Do you want to eat something?"
The old lady grabbed Mu Ran's hand hard.
"You bastard, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"You didn't even ask me!" Mu Ran blinked innocently.
The old lady looked at Mu Yanzhu on the ground again.
Mu Yanzhu forced a smile, "Grandma, I don't want to use Uncle Jiang's kindness to pressure you. Uncle Jiang's kindness belongs to him, Jiang He's love belongs to him, and the person who married me is also Jiang He."
"Even so, you should have told me about this!"
The old lady was heartbroken.
She believed that Jiang Qingchi had a bad character and was not worthy of trust. However, if she had known that Jiang Qingchi was Jiang Beiyuan's son earlier, she would have had a different idea.
On the one hand, Jiang Beiyuan saved the life of Mu Yanzhu's father.
On the other hand, with the Jiang family's upbringing and such an upright father, how could his son be so bad
"Silly girl...silly, silly! They are all fools!"
The old lady stumbled forward with tears in her eyes, pulled Mu Yanzhu up from the ground, and told Mu Ran, "Go quickly and call that kid in!"
"Okay!"
Mu Ran ran out as soon as he had fun.
Mu Yanzhu had knelt all morning without eating or drinking. In addition, it was raining, so she felt dizzy and staggered when she got up.
Before the old lady could help her, a thin figure had already taken a step ahead of her and firmly caught Mu Yanzhu's waist.
"Daughter-in-law, how are you? Are you okay?"
Jiang Qingchi asked Mu Yanzhu to sit down, poured her a cup of hot water, and asked her to warm her hands with her hands and take a few sips.
Mu Yanzhu shook his head and pushed the latter: "Go and eat something quickly, I'm fine."
"You idiot, didn't I tell you that all I had to do was kneel, and you didn't need to interfere. If you kneel down and make mistakes, how will I live for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Qingchi was just short of tears and snot. The old lady couldn't bear to listen and coughed lightly.
"Three long ones can't last, and two short ones can't last. It's a good idea for a young man like you to blame people in a roundabout way."
"Grandma, how dare I blame you? The men of our Lao Jiang family are all the most honest. If you say anything, I know it's all my fault. From now on, I will either encourage you or correct you. Okay, grandma ?”
"Hey... How can I remember that your father was not as good at talking as you?"
"Haha, this should be called someone who is better than his predecessor. I am recognized as the best man in our family. If grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask my younger brothers and sisters."
Jiang Qingchi spoke in a very sincere tone, with a soft voice, and sniffed from time to time. Not to mention he was such a pitiful person.
The old lady is not a tricky master either. With all that said, why should she be embarrassed
The children are getting married and starting a business, and the granddaughter is getting married. The once young doctor is also married to a son and a daughter. He is traveling by time, never as a person.
That’s all!
The old lady waved her sleeves and said, "You must be hungry. I'll make a meal first. Let's eat and chat slowly."
"Grandma, let me cook. My cooking is very delicious."
After Mu Yanzhu was settled, Jiang Qingchi rushed to cook and couldn't stop her.
However, the structure of tableware in the countryside is different from that in the city. Looking at the stove, the young master was a little dumbfounded.
Is this for making a fire
How? Drilling wood to make fire
The old lady didn't make it difficult for him anymore, she smiled and asked him to get out of the way.
"I'll do it, you can do it for me."
"Grandma, just give me your orders."
The old lady lit a fire to cook, and asked Jiang Qingchi to get a small horse and sit aside to chat with her.
"Is your father in good health?"
"My father is very good. He still talks about grandma from time to time."
"Your father is only acquainted with our Mu family once, and he is a doctor with excellent medical skills. He has performed so many surgeries over the years. How could he talk about me, an unfamiliar patient? He is lying at first glance."
"hey-hey."
Jiang Qingchi scratched his hair and smiled sheepishly.
"Sure enough, nothing can escape grandma's eyes."
"It's good that you know. I've had more than fifty years of experience than you... I can see through everything you say and do, whether you want to hide it or not."
"Then grandma, help me see if your granddaughter and I can grow old together?"
"If I had this ability, wouldn't I become a god in the sky?" The old lady smiled, "I just think that when you marry a man, you must look at his character, his character, and There’s a lot of family connection.”
"I understand, so grandma just doesn't believe me, but does she believe my dad? Is it because of my dad's face that she lets me in?"
"You're not stupid, it's understandable."
Jiang Qingchi: "..."
He discovered that his biological father had a magical power.
The inseparable magic.
It was obvious that Jiang Beiyuan rarely interfered in his affairs since he was a child, but why did he always seep into his life invisibly
Jiang Qingchi really couldn't understand. He pursed his lips pitifully, "Grandma, I will use my future actions to prove that I am really a man who can be trusted."
"..." The old lady smiled and said nothing.
The meal was ready, and the four of them gathered around the dining table to eat.
Knowing that the young man could eat it, the old lady stewed four bowls of rice, Jiang Qingchi ate three bowls, and Muran ate two and a half bowls. She couldn't eat the half bowl, so she touched her belly and begged for mercy.
Mu Yanzhu smiled and said, "In the past, anyone who had leftovers had to cut off their heads and put them inside."
Before Mu Ran could refute, Jiang Qingchi opened his mouth in surprise, "Really or not? It's so terrifying. Doesn't this count as murder?"
Pfft,
Mu Yanzhu laughed out loud. Could he not be so stupid
The old lady also laughed, "My Yan'er, I think she has good taste, why did she fall in love with..."
"You've fallen in love with me, a fool, haven't you, grandma?"
"Mu Ran," the old lady looked in a good mood, with a smile on her lips, and then called her grandson, "Go and help me get the red box from the wing."
What is the red box
Dowry? Mu Yanzhu thought secretly.
The box was brought up in front of him, and Mu Ran wiped off the dust with a wet rag.
The old lady opened it with one hand, and there was a shining silver kitchen knife inside. It was like a newly unearthed Shang Fang sword. The blade was sharp and the handle was finely carved.
Mu Yanzhu's smile froze on her face.
The next second, the old lady took out the knife and handed it to Jiang Qingchi's hand with a smile on her face.
"The last step in marrying my granddaughter is to chop off the little finger of your left hand."
"grandmother!!!"
Mu Yanzhu shouted loudly, having never been so panicked before.
The old lady turned a deaf ear and smiled kindly at Jiang Qingchi, "There is a saying in our Mujia Village that the ring finger of the left hand is the promise, and the little finger of the left hand is the remaining love. Since you want to live with my granddaughter for the rest of your life, you have to cut off your extra fingers." Love means that from now on, I will never have any entanglements with other girls."
"grandmother-"
"Shut up." The old lady gently interrupted Mu Yanzhu's words, still facing Jiang Qingchi.
"So it's up to you whether you want to or not. If you chop off this little finger, I will agree to hand over my granddaughter to you."
“…”
Jiang Qingchi swallowed his throat, and large beads of sweat fell on his forehead, along his jawline, and onto the table.
It is a lie to say that he is not afraid. This is a normal human reaction and instinct. Jiang Qingchi glanced at Mu Yanzhu, but all he saw was that her eyes were filled with tears and she kept shaking her head. He could not see clearly the expression in her eyes, but he thought, his Jiang Yan must be feeling distressed.
"Grandma, can you promise me something?"
"What?"
"Don't let Jiang Yan see it, I'm afraid she will be irritated."
"Muran, take your sister back to the house and let her come out after you finish cutting."
"Grandma, I beg you! He loves me. He really loves me. Don't do this to him. Let him go and let me go. Otherwise, I will always live in whatever way you want me to live for the rest of my life. In the guilt, is this the result you want to see? And Uncle Jiang, if he sees his son coming home without a finger, will Uncle Jiang fight with you? This is not a test, it is A crime!"
"That's enough. You don't have to feel guilty, because I asked him to cut off his hand, and it's none of your business. As for Dr. Jiang, he's just fighting with me, and it's not your business, and he will understand."
After speaking, the old lady gave an order.
"Just do it, just chop off the little finger of your left hand."
"don't want!!!!"
"Mu Ran, hold your sister and don't let her look."
Jiang Qingchi gritted his teeth and said, then he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, raised the knife and dropped it -
