Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 54 Jiang Qing Regrets
"Mom, I need to study for the exam. You and Dad will have to do the farm work on yourselves."

Seeing that Jiang Qing didn't listen to her mother-in-law, Jin Yulan immediately frowned:
"Xiaoqing, our countryside is not like the city. From the old to the young, everyone has to work in the fields. If you marry into our family and become a country wife, you will have to work in the fields too."

Zhang Tiesheng was not like Jin Yulan, who had long hair and little knowledge. When he heard Jiang Qing say that she was going to review for the exam, he became concerned about what exam Jiang Qing was taking.

If I pass the exam and get assigned a job, that would be great, and it wouldn't matter if I didn't have to work in the fields.

Jiang Qing had already thought of an excuse: "I have a classmate who has connections in the Education Bureau. He told me that the college entrance examination is expected to be resumed this year. I want to take it and go to university."

The Zhang family looked at each other in surprise.

In rural areas, a junior high school education is considered a high level of education.

Jiang Qing only has a high school education and is considered a true intellectual in their eyes.

Are you not satisfied with this yet and want to take the college entrance examination?
"As a woman, what's the point of reading so many books? A married woman should be around the kitchen stove and her husband, taking care of the family, and busying herself with farm work. These are what you should do!"

Jiang Qing almost died of anger after hearing what Jin Yulan said.

If she really gets into university, it will be a great thing that brings honor to the family, something that others can't even ask for.

Jin Yulan, on the other hand, not only opposed her advancement, but also required her to take care of the housework, serve the whole family, and work in the fields.

She just married into the Zhang family as a daughter-in-law, not sold herself to the Zhang family as a slave.

Although she was extremely angry, Jiang Qing did not show it on her face.

As soon as she came home, she contradicted her mother-in-law, and outsiders would only say bad things about her as a daughter-in-law.

Anyway, she won't stay in the Zhang family for too long.

As soon as Zhang Jiaming promoted her, she would pack her bags and join the army. There was no need to fall out with Jin Yulan, which would only affect her relationship with Zhang Jiaming.

"Dad, Mom, if I get into university, not only will I not have to pay tuition, but the government will also give me a subsidy of more than ten yuan every month."

When Jin Yulan heard that she could receive money for attending university, her attitude changed drastically. "Can I get so much? Do I get it every month?"

"Yes, until I graduate from university. After graduation, the state-assigned job is a lifelong iron rice bowl. When Jiaming and I become successful, we will also help our younger brothers and sisters to become more successful and prosperous."

The cakes Jiang Qing drew were big and round, and the Zhang family members ate until their bellies were full.

The whole family looked at Jiang Qing as if they were looking at a shining gold ingot.

Jin Yulan spoke as affectionately as if she were talking to her own daughter, "Xiaoqing, can you really get into this university?"

With an admission ratio of 20 to 1, Jiang Qing was not very confident. After all, her grades were only average in the class.

But if she told the truth, the Zhang family would definitely not support her in taking the college entrance examination.

"I'm 80% sure I can get into university. Even if I can't, I'll definitely be able to go to a normal school or a technical secondary school. The government will assign me a job after graduation."

Sure enough, hearing her confident tone, as if a stable job was in her pocket, Jin Yulan agreed to let her review at home. Although she had to work in the fields, she still had to do the cooking, dishwashing and laundry.

Jiang Qing knew that her parents-in-law could not support her for free like they supported their son.

As long as you don't go to the fields, it's no big deal to just do housework.

"Xiaoqing, I've put all your dirty clothes in the bucket. Remember to wash them later."

"I got it, Mom."

When Jiang Qing finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, she saw two large buckets full of dirty clothes and her face became extremely ugly.

Rural people work in the fields every day, and their clothes are covered with thick mud and dirt. Even if they are washed four or five times, they may not be clean.

It's not very particular. The vests and shorts of the whole family are mixed together.

Not only did she have to wash Jin Yulan's pants, but she was also asked to wash her father-in-law and brother-in-law's pants.

She was so angry! Jiang Qing endured the humiliation and anger in her heart, washed two buckets of dirty clothes, hung them up to dry, went back to the house to pick up her books and went to the main room. Just as she opened the page and was about to study, the grandmother of the Zhang family walked into the main room tremblingly with a cane.

"What are you doing here? Huh?"

"Grandma, I'm reading a book."

"Reading? What kind of books are you reading? Why don't you go out and help with the work? Can reading books make you a living?"

Grandma Zhang is already 90 years old. She has never been to school, cannot write her own name, and does not understand the role of reading.

In her mind, Jiang Qing didn't go out to work but sat at home reading books. She was lazy and not doing her job properly, so she deserved to be scolded.

Jiang Qing knew that it was impossible to reason with a 90-year-old man, so she had to put away the book and go back to her room.

The mud houses in the countryside are not like those in the city. The doors and windows are very narrow, and the windows are not equipped with glass, but with wooden lattices. They are breathable, but there is insufficient light.

If the lighting is not good, you can light a kerosene lamp, but there is not even a table in the room, so it is impossible to study properly.

Jiang Qing lay on the bed feeling depressed, regretting coming to Zhang's house.

She originally came to the Zhang family to concentrate on reviewing, but she couldn't concentrate at all. She even had to serve a large family, and her living environment and standards were greatly reduced.

It would be better to stay in the Jiang family.

After finally calming down and opening the book to study, Jin Yulan called out from outside:
"Xiaoqing! Xiaoqing!"

"coming!"

Jiang Qing opened the door with a lot of anger, and saw Li Hongying being led in by Jin Yulan. Her nose suddenly felt sore, and grievances popped up from all over her body like bamboo shoots after rain.

She sniffed, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Your uncle Jiang asked me to bring some food back to the old couple, so I stopped by to see you."

Li Hongying looked her up and down, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe and sound.

He turned around and handed the gift in his hand to Jin Yulan, "I brought some nutritional supplements to nourish the old man."

Jin Yulan smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, "Hey, we're all family, why are you being so polite?"

Although he was being polite, he took the item swiftly.

Li Hongying brought malted milk and canned fruit, both of which are rare and valuable things in the countryside. Only a fool would push them away.

In front of the main hall, Jin Yulan and Li Hongying sat on a bench and chatted intimately about family matters.

Jiang Qing stood quietly by the side, her fingernails silently scratching her palms.

If Li Hongying came to pick her up, would she go back?
She really couldn't stay in the Zhang family's environment.

But if she goes back, she will continue to be entangled with the Jiang family.

If Jiang Moli got into trouble like she did in her previous life, she and Zhang Jiaming might also be implicated.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, she heard Li Hongying calling her, "Xiaoqing, come here."

Jiang Qing walked to Li Hongying.

Li Hongying took her hand and said earnestly, "Being a daughter-in-law is not as free and easy as being a girl. You should be diligent in your husband's family and help your parents-in-law with more things."

Although Jiang Qing had not decided whether to go back, Li Hongying did not even mention taking her back, but instead let her stay at Zhang's house. She couldn't help but feel disappointed and kept silent.

Li Hongying could see that her daughter was angry with her, but she didn't know why, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the deadlock between mother and daughter, Jin Yulan took over the conversation -
