I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 22 Visiting the Eldest Sister
After paying the fees, Jiang Li asked for directions to Jiang Tang's ward, pushed open the door, and saw the person sitting on the hospital bed.
Jiang Li had always known that the original owner's older sister was extremely beautiful, and upon seeing her, she was amazed by her beauty.
Give Jiang Li a kind of—
It felt like we weren't born to the same parents.
To be honest, Jiang Li has a pretty good appearance, with a touch of heroic spirit. She just looks a bit thin and her complexion is poor. She'll be fine after taking some time to recover.
But Jiang Tang was truly stunning. With bright eyes and white teeth, slender eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a narrow and straight nose, she was lifelike even when still. Even with a layer of gauze wrapped around her head, she could make people ignore everything else and focus their attention on her face, making her appear delicate and pitiful.
"Xiao Li?"
Jiang Tang looked at the person who suddenly barged in, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.
"Why are you here?"
"Big sister! You weren't at the Chen family's house when we went looking for you, so we came here!"
Jiang Yan was extremely worried. He leaned closer, staring intently at the bandage on Jiang Tang's head, his eyes red-rimmed. "Big sister, what happened to you? The Chen family said you accidentally fell, is that true?"
Jiang Tang avoided Jiang Yan's gaze and forced an awkward smile. "It's not a big deal. I was just careless and didn't see clearly when I was walking."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Li frowned as she watched her sister's clumsy performance.
"Hmm—didn't you see clearly while you were walking? So, when did you fall? Where did you fall? And what did you fall on that caused you to fall like this?"
Jiang Tang: "..."
Jiang Li stared at her. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Jiang Tang frowned, her expression turning somewhat grim as if she had thought of something.
Jiang Li asked, puzzled, "What exactly did the Chen family do to you?"
Jiang Tang took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and decided not to hold it in any longer. "Chen Jiqi has another woman behind my back."
"What?!" Jiang Yan's eyes widened. "Why is my brother-in-law like this?"
He then asked, "Sis, when did you find out?"
Two years ago.
Two years ago?
Jiang Li frowned.
"You knew he was having an affair two years ago, why are you only saying it now?"
Jiang Tang sighed, "At first, I just discovered that he had contact with that woman."
She paused for a moment and then said, "That woman was his ex-girlfriend."
It turns out that Chen Jiqi had a previous relationship with his childhood sweetheart. However, when they were about to get married, the woman suddenly changed her mind for some reason and broke up with Chen Jiqi. Chen Jiqi was depressed for a while. Later, he met Jiang Tang. Perhaps he was amazed by Jiang Tang's beauty, so he began to pursue her.
At that time, many people pursued Jiang Tang, including some wealthy men, but Jiang Tang chose Chen Jiqi because of his gentle personality and good character.
Chen Jiqi was also quite shrewd. He knew that there were many people pursuing Jiang Tang and the competition was fierce. So when he was pursuing Jiang Tang, he made a solemn promise that he could get Jiang Tang's sister a job in a weaving factory after they got married.
Back then, such jobs weren't something you could just get with money. Chen Jiqi must have had some great opportunity, which was one of the reasons Jiang Tang chose him. She believed Chen Jiqi was a person with potential.
Not long after the marriage, Chen Jiqi's childhood sweetheart, who had disappeared, suddenly came to his door.
Jiang Tang: "At first, the woman just came to Chen Jiqi to borrow money, saying she was in trouble. I ran into her, and Chen Jiqi lied and said she was a colleague from his clinic."
Jiang Tang believed it to be true. Seeing that the woman really looked like she had suffered a lot, she felt very sorry for her and asked Chen Jiqi to help her more.
Not long after, Jiang Tang sensed something was wrong. Chen Jiqi started going out frequently, and each time he went to see that woman. Sometimes they would go to the market together, and sometimes the woman would come to his clinic to see him.
One day, Chen Jiqi let slip that the woman was his childhood sweetheart.
At first, Jiang Tang did feel like the sky was falling.
Chen Jiqi repeatedly emphasized that he had not done anything to wrong her. His childhood sweetheart had just encountered some difficulties, and he offered her help because he felt it was not easy for a woman like her.
Jiang Tang: "I told him to break up with this woman. Every time Chen Jiqi made a solemn promise, he would go to see her as soon as this woman called."
Jiang Li: "What does Chen Jiqi always ask her out for? On dates?"
"No," Jiang Tang shook her head. "They're all just trivial things. Sometimes it's a leaky apartment, sometimes it's a broken light bulb, sometimes it's a fever in the middle of the night."
Because of this woman, Jiang Tang and Chen Jiqi argued and had a cold war almost every day. Chen Jiqi said she was making a mountain out of a molehill and that she had no tolerance for others...
Their relationship gradually deteriorated to a freezing point. They lived in the same house but had been sleeping in separate rooms for two years, and were like strangers.
Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, "Big sister, what happened next? How did you end up at the hospital?"
Jiang Li could vaguely guess something. "Chen Jiqi must have completely crossed the line, right? This time, did he bring that woman home?"
Jiang Tang asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Tang and said, "When I went to the Chen family just now, I saw a pair of women's shoes in the shoe cabinet by the door. They were neither yours nor Chen Jiqi's mother's. The owner of those shoes is under 160 cm tall."
Jiang Tang is 167 cm tall, and Chen's mother is about the same height as Jiang Tang, so those shoes should belong to that woman.
Jiang Tang's expression darkened. "That's right."
She recounted the scene she witnessed that day—
"That day when I got home, I saw Chen Jiqi and that woman hugging and kissing on the sofa—"
The impact of that scene was too great. In that instant, Jiang Tang felt a wave of nausea rising from the depths of her stomach and couldn't help but vomit.
She turned and ran outside, but she tripped and fell at the doorway in her haste.
Jiang Yan's eyes widened in fury upon hearing this.
"That bastard! He said such sweet things when he married you, but he changed completely after we got married!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan clenched his fists, ready to fight.
Jiang Li grabbed him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to beat him up!"
Jiang Li: "What's the point of beating him up? Will beating him make up for what he did?"
"Then, what should we do?"
Jiang Yan was almost in tears, feeling utterly frustrated with nowhere to vent his anger. "He bullied my older sister!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yan actually started crying, even more aggrieved than Jiang Tang. He cried to Jiang Tang:
"Big sister, why didn't you say so sooner? It's been two years and you're only telling me now."
Jiang Tang gently patted Jiang Yan's head. "Alright, Xiao Yan, don't cry."
She thought that no matter how outrageous Chen Jiqi was, he wouldn't do anything without principles, but who knew that Chen Jiqi would ultimately take this step anyway—
Jiang Tang's eyes also reddened, not because she still loved Chen Jiqi that much, but because her feelings for Chen Jiqi had been completely exhausted by the conflicts they had experienced over the past two years.
I suddenly regret my choice back then.
I thought Chen Jiqi was someone I could entrust my life to, but I was more and more disappointed after we got married.
"Alright, let's not talk about Chen Jiqi anymore, let's talk about you guys."
When the topic turned to business, Jiang Tang's expression became much more serious. She looked at Jiang Li and asked, "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"
"I saw your message saying you quit your job at the textile factory?"
Jiang Li nodded.
"Why?" Jiang Tang asked, puzzled.
Jiang Li: "I think the outside world is more suitable for me."
On her very first day in this world, she realized that hiding in the safe zone was a dead end. Agriculture was the most profitable industry, and if she wanted to get ahead, she had to go into farming.
Moreover, her abilities can only be used outside the safe zone.
Jiang Tang sighed, "Never mind, you're all grown up now and have your own ideas."
"only--"
She was a little worried, "Going out to farm is too dangerous. What if we encounter mutated wild animals?"
Jiang Yan is the most qualified to speak on this point!
Back then, he also thought his second sister was a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken! Until that day—
His second sister's performance amazed his entire world!
