Chapter 416 Aren't you afraid of bringing back a hungry wolf and turning your peaceful life ups
"Please get in the car!" she said, opening the car door and gesturing for him to enter.
He Jingcheng sat in the back seat without causing any trouble, and even sat upright.
Jiang Zhenghong was stunned and silently gave Chai Yu a thumbs up.
Chai Yu gave him a wink, and after Jiang Zhenghong thanked the young soldier, he sat down next to He Jingcheng.
The car door closed, and we headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.
He Jingcheng bought two bags of pastries, a silk scarf, two pounds of fruit candy, and a pair of small leather shoes.
But I wasn't happy at all.
"Can't we really go to the county town? The things in this commune aren't very good!"
He was afraid his niece would dislike him.
"The county is too far away, Comrade Qiao will understand."
He Jingcheng nervously rubbed his fingers: "Really? What if she thinks I'm not putting in the effort?"
Jiang Zhenghong tried to comfort him, but Chai Yu glared at him.
They walked in silence all the way to the family compound, where they were stopped.
"Comrade, I'm looking for my niece!" He Jingcheng showed his identification.
"Hello Researcher He, who is your niece? We'll call her out for you!"
"Can't I just go in and look for her? I'm afraid she won't want to see me!"
Hearing this, Xu Tianrui was even less inclined to let anyone in.
"While I would be happy to let you in, there are military regulations. For our safety, please cooperate!"
"I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate!"
He Jingcheng turned to look at Chai Yu, and seeing that he didn't respond, he could only touch his nose and say, "My niece's name is Qiao Manman!"
"Sister-in-law Lu!"
Xu Tianrui gave He Jingcheng several wary looks: "I've never heard that Sister-in-law Lu has an uncle who is a researcher!"
"Well, there's been a misunderstanding between us!"
He Jingcheng was afraid that they wouldn't pass on the message to him, so he took out a handful of fruit candies: "I'm not a bad person, so please pass on the message for me."
Xu Tianrui glanced at Chai Yu, and seeing him nod slightly, he sent someone to inform Qiao Manman.
The young couple, who had just finished preparing lunch and were about to eat, were in a bad mood when they heard that someone was looking for them, and that it was He Jingcheng, that persistent ghost.
"Honey, if you don't want to see him, I'll go and get rid of him!"
"What's the point of getting rid of them? Our workplaces are so close, can I keep avoiding them forever?"
"Bring her in. I want to know exactly how my mother was injured back then!"
Lu Yuan nodded and went to greet his uncle, who was a bit slow on the uptake.
Qiao Manman tidied up the house, put away anything that shouldn't be there, downgraded the food by two standards, and sat on the sofa to wait.
A dozen minutes later, a group of people appeared at the door, and Qiao Manman greeted them with a forced smile.
"You're so persistent! I've already told you it has nothing to do with you anymore, why are you still sticking to me like a leech!"
That's really not a nice thing to say.
He Jingcheng acted as if he hadn't heard him: "My dear niece, this place is too remote. The things your uncle bought are of average quality. If you don't like them, just throw them away."
"When we get back to Dong Province, your uncle will buy you something nice."
"What do you mean? You're from Guangdong Province? Then why are you in Guangdong Province?"
After saying that, he slapped his mouth in annoyance: "Serves you right for blurting it out!"
Thinking to myself, since they've already come all this way, it's only a matter of time before they find out I've been to Guangdong Province.
It's better to proactively reveal the truth and seize the initiative in the discourse.
"Yes, my hometown is in Guangdong Province. It's hot there, and soybeans can be harvested twice a year, which is convenient for experiments."
After saying that, he pointed at Qiao Manman excitedly: "I told you I had seen you before, but you wouldn't admit it!"
"It's all preordained, my dear niece, just accept me as your daughter!"
Qiao Manman calmly sat down at the dining table: "Although I have been to Guangdong Province, it doesn't mean that I am related to you by blood!"
"How could that be? We look so alike!"
He Jingcheng pulled a photo out of his pocket: "This is a photo of my sister. Look, isn't she your mother!"
Qiao Manman took the photo and glanced at it. Wow, it really was a younger version of He Nian.
"Hmm, it does look quite similar!"
"That's right! I knew we were family!"
"So how did you lose her in the first place?"
Qiao Manman glanced at Jiang Zhenghong and Chai Yu, who tactfully retreated outside the door.
"When my father found my mother, she was on the verge of death."
Since you value blood ties so much, how did you end up abandoning your sister in the mountains?
Qiao Manman took a deep breath, determined to get justice for He Nian.
He Jingcheng recounted what he had said to Hou Ruifeng back then.
"Old Hou said that Niannian was probably harmed by Yuhan back then, but Yuhan was also bullied!"
They have such a good relationship, Yu Han couldn't possibly harm Niannian just because she was slept with by someone else!
Qiao Manman retorted, "Why not? Isn't this just the most straightforward form of jealousy between humans?"
"But if she were really that bad, why would she visit your grandparents every holiday?"
"First, to find out if there's any news about He Nian. Second, the He family can probably bring her benefits."
"Manman, how could you think of Yuhan like that? She's not that kind of person!"
Qiao Manman leaned closer, staring intently into He Jingcheng's eyes: "I'm so gloomy, are you sure you want to acknowledge me as a relative? Aren't you afraid of bringing back a hungry wolf that will turn the He family's peaceful life upside down?"
"You, you're so cute, you can't, you can't be!" He Jingcheng swallowed hard, stammering in shock.
“Yes!”
Qiao Manman gave a definite answer: "I don't like cuckoos taking over other people's nests, nor do I like taking things lightly. Think it through, if I return to the He family, I will definitely investigate the matter from back then to the bottom of things."
When the time comes, once it's confirmed that Yin Yuhan is the mastermind, I will not consider the relationship between the He family and her, and I will tear her to pieces.
Alternatively, you can choose to stay away from me and preserve your current peaceful life!
After Qiao Manman finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
It was supposed to be a heartwarming scene, but it sent a shiver down He Jingcheng's spine, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"me......"
"No rush, go back and think about it!"
"Oh!"
He Jingcheng subconsciously walked towards the door, but his stomach started rumbling.
He turned his head and said pitifully, "Niece, can I stay for a meal?"
It's just a meal; Qiao Manman wouldn't be stingy.
Tell Lu Yuan to call the two people at the door in so they can have a meal together.
On the table were stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork, Mapo tofu, stir-fried romaine lettuce, and braised green beans with eggplant.
She took away a plate of braised fish, two steamed crabs, and a pot of braised pork stew with potatoes.
Even so, He Jingcheng enjoyed the food immensely.
"Niece, your food smells so good! Can I come over for a meal when I'm on vacation?"
Qiao Manman glared at him: "You're really pushing your luck. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, then we're not going to see each other again!"
He Jingcheng pitifully said he wouldn't dare to do it again, but his hands didn't stop, and in less than two minutes, the plate of cured meat was empty.
"My dear niece, your grandma's cooking is amazing. Our area is by the sea, so when you go to Dong Province, your uncle will take you fishing!"
