章節 3: The Past

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the same time, in the Jiang family... There were many fruits and vegetables planted in the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo. It was already the autumn harvest season, and the garden was full of fruits and vegetables, red and green, which looked particularly pleasing.

Jiang Xi sat on a small wooden bench in the courtyard, wearing a long linen dress. She did not move her eyes for a long time. The hem of her dress swayed in the breeze, like a spiritual puppet. It looked very horrifying.

"How is it? What did they say?" Zheng Rong lowered her voice and glanced at Jiang Xi, who was sitting in the courtyard like a statue. She sighed in her heart. Sigh, this was the third time.

"Second and third brother went to ask just now. They heard that the woman was nine months pregnant and was about to give birth. The engagement with our sister, Jiang Xi, has to be called off. " Jiang Da, who looked simple and honest, washed his face with cold water. The water droplets on his face could not hide the irritation in his eyes. He looked at the back of his sister, Jiang Xi, and could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He had a feeling that Jiang Xi, who had hung herself three times but still survived, was a little different this time.

"There's a wedding at uncle's house today, but Jiang Xi ..." Even though Zheng Rong did not have a good impression of Jiang Xi, she felt a little sad at this moment. Her fiancé was getting married, but the bride was not her. Why was she invited to the wedding? What the hell was this?!

"I'm not going! Why should we go?! We must have been blind to have taken a fancy to that Yang Kun kid!" Jiang Da said snappily. "He and Jiang Xi had grown up together and were childhood sweethearts. He's even slightly related to our family and could be considered Jiang Xi's cousin, so we set the engagement. I didn't expect him to do such a disgraceful thing! He's not good enough for my younger sister, Jiang Xi!"

Previously, her uncle, Yang Shaoqun, was poor. Her uncle's son, Yang Kun, had reached the marriageable age but could not find a wife. So, he had discussed with the Jiang family to let Yang Kun and Jiang Xi get engaged. In this way, the Yang family and the Jiang family could be considered close. However, who would have thought the Yang family would make a small fortune just a month after the engagement? At that time, the Yang family had even said that Jiang Xi was born with good fortune. In the end, Yang Kun got together with another woman and cheated on Jiang Xi! Now that Yang Kun was getting married, he even sent an invitation to the Jiang family. Where did he get his face from?

Zheng Rong's lips moved, but she suppressed her words. In fact, she felt that things were a little strange. It seemed that all the families who were engaged to Jiang Xi had made a fortune... Then they dumped Jiang Xi after making a fortune? Zheng Rong shook her head and did not think too much about it. Perhaps Jiang Xi was born with bad luck.

Jiang Xi, who was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, was dumbfounded when she heard the soft and mumbling voices behind her. She had stayed at Zhoushan Mental Hospital for three years. The green mountains and clear waters she had once yearned for were now right in front of her eyes. Everything felt like a lifetime ago. She could still vaguely remember the days when she was dominating the mental hospital. After all, she was the master in Zhoushan and the empress of mental illness.

"Mother, second brother and third brother are back. You and Jiang Xi should hurry up and pack up. Uncle Yang Shaoqun is coming to urge us." Zheng Rong, Jiang Xi's sister-in-law, went into the house and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, she called out to Jiang Xi. She felt that Jiang Xi would definitely not attend the wedding, but as Jiang Xi's sister-in-law, she had to call out to her. Otherwise, she was afraid that Jiang Xi would start a feud with her. After all, being a daughter and a daughter-in-law were different.

The room was silent for a while before Yang Fen responded in a low voice. Yang Shaoqun was Yang Fen's older brother. Although Yang Kun and Jiang Xi's marriage had been called off, they were still relatives. They could not just sever their ties. Moreover, Yang Shaoqun was her older brother and also her family! However, Yang Fen was disappointed in Yang Kun after all. She had watched Yang Kun grow up since he was a child. It was a pity...

Yang Fen sat on the bed and thought for a long time before she took out a money bag wrapped in red cloth from under the bed. She took out 200 yuan, weighed it for a moment, walked out of the room, and stuffed it into Jiang Xi's hand. Jiang Xi looked at Yang Fen in a daze, her eyes confused.

"I... I'm going to your uncle's house. Go to the market and buy some snacks that you like. Don't think too much." Yang Fen's eyes were a little evasive, but she was sighing in her heart. Her eldest brother, Yang Shaoqun, was now living a good life. Yang Shaoqun had introduced jobs to her three sons. Her fourth son was also a bookworm. Her family relied on Yang Shaoqun's protection. Now that Jiang Xi had been wronged, there was no way to seek justice for her.

It was strange that Yang Shaoqun's family used to be in trouble, but since Yang Kun was engaged to Jiang Xi, everything had gone smoothly. It was as if they used a cheat.
