Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 73 He is anxious
Jiang Xingye ran towards the end of the field and met Xu Qinghuan halfway, who was coming back with his aunt. He hesitated for a moment and then ran towards her, his thin lips tightly pursed, but he looked her up and down, his eyes full of unconcealable concern.

There were other members with them, and several aunts smiled meaningfully.

Li Xingzhi, the team leader's wife, jokingly said, "Xingye, are you really concerned about Xu Zhiqing? He almost had a work point deducted because of you today."

Zhou Guiying angrily cursed, "Xingzhi, shut up! You're such a big mouth!"

Jiang Xingye's face looked unhappy.

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Aunt Xingzhi, I also want you to care about me, but you didn't help me just now."

Li Xingzhi hadn't expected Xu Qinghuan to be so generous. The teasing and ridicule she offered were like a fist hitting cotton. She couldn't help but laugh, "How could I not care about you? Didn't my wife help you get justice?"

"That's Uncle Liangcai's kindness, and it has nothing to do with Auntie!" Xu Qinghuan said angrily.

She was coquettish and charming, and even these aunts and sisters-in-law were so captivated by her that they almost flew away. They only thought the girl was cute and adorable, and they didn't even think of making fun of her and Jiang Xingye.

"You silly child, aren't your Uncle Liangcai and I from the same family?" However, Li Xingzhi also regretted not speaking up for Xu Qinghuan just now. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, next time someone bullies you, just tell me my name. I'll see who dares to bully you again in the Shangjiang Brigade!"

"Thank you, auntie. Take care!" Xu Qinghuan waved to those people.

Even after everyone had gone far away, Xu Qinghuan could still hear some people saying that although this young educated youth was young, he was cheerful and generous. Others said that he was not as shy as other educated youth, and seemed to be a straightforward person.

Xu Qinghuan dismissed those people, and only then did he care about Jiang Xingye. "You heard it, just now, because of you, I almost had a work point deducted from me. It was clearly agreed that one furrow of land was worth two work points, but that woman insisted on deducting one work point from me."

She had never felt wronged when arguing with others, but now, seeing Jiang Xingye, she suddenly felt aggrieved for no reason.

Jiang Xingye first looked at her face. There was still some plaster residue on her face, and it was not red or swollen, so it should be nothing serious. He then glanced at her hands. If she didn't show them to him, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

He couldn't hold her hand either.

He saw the grievance in her eyes, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, the pain so severe that his anger was burning.

His eyes were red!
Zhou Guizhi hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "It's because of Aimei who is unconscious. Your uncle Liangcai has already recorded the work points for Xu Zhiqing. It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back. We have to go to work in the afternoon."

Jiang Xingye walked behind the two of them. Zhou Guizhi asked Xu Qinghuan as they walked, "Xu Zhiqing, this is your first day at work today. Are you tired?"

"Not tired, I'm fine."

When they reached the fork in the road, Xu Qinghuan and Zhou Guizhi waved, "Auntie, I'm leaving first!"

"Go! Don't be late this afternoon!" Seeing Jiang Xingye following behind her, Zhou Guizhi hurriedly pulled him along, "You still have to cook when you go back now, let's eat at my house!"

"No!" Jiang Xingye wanted to talk to Xu Qinghuan. He always felt that he would never feel at ease if he didn't say something to her.

"Are you going or not?" Zhou Guizhi refused to let him go. "I asked your sister-in-law to lay an egg for you. Why don't you come back with me?"

Zhou Guizhi pinched him. Seeing that Xu Qinghuan had already walked far away, Jiang Xingye had no choice but to follow her. He was dejected and looked like a big dog that no one adopted, so pitiful.

Back at the Jiang family's house, He Yuzhen was leaning against the doorstep, eating raspberries she had snatched from her niece. Seeing Jiang Xingye coming, she sneered and shouted inside, "Sister-in-law, put an extra sweet potato in there! Our Xiaowu is here!"

Her tone was filled with indescribable sarcasm. When Jiang Xingye got closer, she muttered softly, "Come over here at dinner time!" Zhou Guiying slapped her on the forehead, "Did you eat yours or drink yours? You lazy woman, you work five or six work points a day and can't even feed yourself. Who are you talking to?"

Later, Jiang Xingyong heard the noise and came over. He had just come back from work and had taken a shower with well water. He lifted his clothes and wiped the water droplets off his face. "Xiao Wu is here?"

He Yuzhen was screaming in pain from being beaten. Jiang Xingye nodded to his second brother without even glancing at He Yuzhen.

He Yuzhen was about to complain when Zhou Guiying said, "Second brother, if you can't control your wife, I'll separate you two. Let me make this clear: I can't necessarily count on you guys to support me in my old age, but I can definitely count on Xiaowu.

If you marry this wife, I will have to depend on her every day to make a living. Why don't you just become someone else's son-in-law?"

This was the first time He Yuzhen was spoken to like this by her mother-in-law, and it was in front of her uncle.

Is this to force her and her husband to divorce?
How can you be a mother-in-law like this?

Jiang Xingyong glanced at He Yuzhen calmly and said to Jiang Xingye, "You came here because of the smell of meat, right? You came because you knew Dad had someone bring back meat today?"

In the past, He Yuzhen would definitely ask what to eat since her child hasn’t eaten yet.

But she didn't dare at this moment. The more Jiang Xingyong downplayed it, the more scared she became.

If Jiang Xingyong had scolded her or even beaten her, she might have felt a little better.

She just couldn't stand the whole family pampering Jiang Xingye. Whenever there was something delicious at home, they would never forget him. When they cut some meat, they would definitely call him to come and eat. When they saved some cloth, the mother-in-law would ignore her eldest grandson and only make clothes for her younger brother-in-law.

Why?

Even though He Yuzhen was afraid, she did not regret it in her heart, because what she was considering was the truth.

Back then, Jiang Xingye's father saved the people in the production team and the water-pumping machine. His father-in-law wasn't the only one involved. There were so many other people in the village. Why did this favor only fall on his family?
He Yuzhen naturally ignored her great-grandmother's poor health. After her own mother-in-law got married, she raised her deceased second uncle as her own child.

When Jiang Xingye's father died, Jiang Baohua wished he was the one who died. After a serious illness, he naturally took care of his nephew more than his own children.

Jiang Xingbing and Jiang Xingyong had been playing with their second uncle since they were young, and they had a deep relationship with him. They were older than Jiang Xingye. Now that their second uncle was gone, how could they not feel sorry for this cousin who had neither a father nor a mother?

Tian Jinhua brought out the food, a bowl of stir-fried pork belly with green beans, and she also fried an eggplant with the oil in the pan. It smelled more fragrant than the boiled eggplant she had ever had.

I used one egg and three tomatoes to make a large porcelain bowl of soup, with a few drops of oil floating on top, which was rare.

The staple food is steamed corn bread, which is half cornmeal and half brown flour. No matter how you steam it, it can never be made soft.

It was hard and difficult to swallow. Adults and children alike had to swallow it with great effort, and the veins from the corners of their eyes to their necks were bulging. They felt very satisfied after eating a mouthful of steamed bread, a mouthful of vegetables, or a mouthful of tomato and egg soup.

This is a rare good life in this era.
