Chapter 58: Virtual and Submissive
The people gathered around Jiang Anning were still persuading one another.
"You said you're not too young. Why don't you hurry up and find a companion now? How can you live a good life when you get older?"
Jiang Anning: "Is my life not good now? Auntie, don't blame me for speaking harshly, let alone showing off. We all talk about what we have to say. Take a look at the families in the village. Is there anyone who has a better life than me? Okay?”
"Is it because the house is bigger than mine, or because there are more fields than me?"
"In other words, which family has more money than me?"
The person who persuaded Jiang Anning turned black at these words, as if he had rubbed the ashes from the bottom of a pot, and slurred at the corners of his mouth, unable to speak.
Without him, the most dilapidated house in the village now belongs to their family.
This man was a little embarrassed, trying to pretend that nothing happened and quietly get away from the crowd.
However, Jiang Anning seemed to have discovered the person's intention and shouted loudly: "Aunt Xiurong, if I remember correctly, your five sons are still living together in a side room. It’s been a while, but I still haven’t talked about having a wife.”
Aunt Xiurong froze and looked at Jiang Anning in disbelief.
What's going on with this girl?
What you say is so rude!
If you don't criticize people, there is no way to poke people's lung tubes with a mouth.
Aunt Xiurong's face was livid and she was furious.
Jiang Anning knew that he was right as soon as he looked at the person's face.
She curved her lower lip slightly, walked over and held Aunt Xiurong's hand, looking very affectionate: "I just listened to Aunt Xiurong talking, and she seemed very concerned about the wedding. Why did she come to my son? On the contrary, you are not in a hurry anymore. Don’t you want to live a good life? ”
Aunt Xiurong had a straight face, her mouth was pursed tightly, and her displeasure suddenly appeared.
She struggled a few times, trying to pull her hand out, but she didn't see Jiang Anning do anything. However, this thin-looking person was surprisingly strong. She pulled her hand back several times, but it didn't move. Not at all, his face suddenly became even more distorted.
"You, let go..." Aunt Xiurong scolded someone in a low voice, but she was also worried that the people around her would see her embarrassment, making her anxious and irritable.
Jiang Anning accepted the request and let go after embarrassing the person for a while.
Aunt Xiurong wanted to vent her anger by scolding the little bitch for not being big enough, but she accidentally met Jiang Anning's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She immediately stopped and ran away dejectedly.
She wanted to go home directly, out of sight and out of mind.
However, after walking only two steps, he saw the pork cut into pieces next to him, and he immediately became unable to walk.
After thinking about it, no one seemed to pay attention to her, so she pretended that nothing happened and hid in the backyard to choose and wash vegetables.
With Aunt Xiurong being beaten into silence, the others were a little embarrassed to speak again.
One by one, you look at me and I look at you. You want to speak, but you are worried that if you speak, you will be exposed and embarrassed.
The air was really quiet for a while, and no one spoke.
Jiang Anning breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing had happened, and greeted everyone warmly into the room to sit down.
"Stop piling up here and go inside quickly. There's nothing you can do to help. It's good to go inside and sit and drink tea and eat melon seeds, so you don't have to fend off harm here."
Everyone, who was still a little embarrassed at first, immediately laughed and agreed: "Yes, yes, everyone, come in. We don't have anyone who specializes in cooking, can't we help peel some onions and garlic?"
"I think it would be better to replace the staple food with dumplings, so that we can all have something to do?"
"This is good, this is good."
The atmosphere became lively again. The person who suggested making dumplings looked at Jiang Anning cautiously and asked for his opinion: "Anning, what do you think?"
"It's done!"
Jiang Anning smiled: "However, I am not very good at making noodles and chopping stuffing. I have to rely on the help of all the aunts."
"Don't worry, we will definitely handle it for you. Just wait and eat the ready-made food!"
"I'll make noodles!"
"Then I'll make the stuffing?"
Everyone was understanding what they said to each other, and they didn't try to educate Jiang Anning about "women still have to be good at cooking" or "if you don't learn to be more diligent now, how will you be able to get married in the future" and so on. words.
Without the spoilers, the atmosphere became a lot more harmonious.
No one dared to touch Jiang Anning's brow, and naturally they wouldn't let her do any work, but it really made people free.
Jiang Anning felt at ease and lazed away.
Jiang Wei followed the person out and followed him not too far or too close.
"You just like to stare at my every move?"
Jiang Anning turned her head and stared at the person with an unkind look.
Jiang Wei smiled without any guilt: "I'm just worried about you."
"It's broad daylight, the sky is clear, and it's in your own home, what's there to worry about?"
Jiang Anning couldn't help but roll her eyes at the person, and almost said directly: You are talking nonsense without thinking of a better excuse. Isn't it a bit too perfunctory?
Jiang Wei seemed to have read what people were thinking, and smiled helplessly, as if he was pampering an ignorant child: "I mean it seriously, I'm not bullshitting you."
"Zhao Hai is missing now. There is no guarantee that he will not have escaped back to the village. He is hiding in a corner that we can't see, spying on you and me. He is just waiting for the right moment to take action and kill him with one blow. .”
Jiang Wei: "I really can't worry about you."
"Then I really want to thank Brother Muramasa." Jiang Anning said her thanks in a stiff tone, showing no sincerity at all.
Jiang Wei clearly felt people's boredom and wariness towards him, but he still seemed to be unaware, smiling affectionately and telling unintentional lies: "I am happy with you. These are all things you should do."
"I have no intention of you."
Jiang Anning looked directly at Jiang Wei with open eyes, trying to discern his true purpose from the hypocritical expression on this man's face.
"Then how can Sister An Ning be willing to favor me more?"
Jiang Wei seemed humble and polite, respecting Jiang Anning's ideas very much, but in fact he pressed forward step by step, forcing others to show their attitude.
"I truly love Sister An Ning, and what I said before was not a joke."
"I am willing to wait for the day when you open your heart again. Even if the person you choose in the end is not me, I am willing to be the person who protects the flowers."
Jiang Wei repeated what he said before with affectionate eyes: "I will be happy to protect you for the rest of my life."
Jiang Anning frowned, unable to see what kind of medicine this man was selling.
Seeing that the person didn't answer for a long time, Jiang Wei became more and more affectionate: "Can't Sister An Ning really give me a chance?"
After listening carefully, I felt a little more aggrieved.
It was as if Jiang Anning had betrayed his affection...
"No!"
Jiang Anning refused very decisively and simply.
Jiang Wei doubted his life for a moment.
He raised his hand and touched his face, feeling a little less confident for a moment.
Could it be that he has been trapped in this poor and remote country for too long, and his appearance is no longer what it used to be?
Otherwise, how could anyone be so indifferent to his handsome face?
Jiang Anning's unswerving gaze made Jiang Wei feel less confident.
He unconsciously felt resentful and aggrieved: "Does Sister An Ning hate me?"
"Although Sister An Ning and I have not known each other since childhood, and we have lost some of the friendship we had as childhood sweethearts and grew up together, after all, we have known each other for many years. Am I really so bad that I don't even get half a chance?"
< br>
Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Anning's clean and unsullied face, and said in a low and seductive voice: "Or is it that Sister Anning still misses someone in her heart, that's why she refuses to share her position with others?"
With an inquiring mind, he wanted to see something wrong from the person's expression.
In fact, he had always wondered why Jiang Anning's temperament changed drastically and why she sent her lover to the Yamen to see an official without mercy. Jiang Wei thought that he understood Jiang Anning well enough after eight years of observation and analysis, guarding and keeping an eye on every move of a person.
Jiang Anning is really not a smart person.
Even if Zhao Hai's acting skills are too poor, he has still been able to deceive people easily over the past eight years.
There is no reason why he would suddenly wake up without any warning.
[Why does this man’s tea smell like tea? He doesn’t look like a good person]
[If you really love someone, will you be so aggressive and malicious? 】
[A scheming man is really not a good match]
[I hope the female natives will not be confused by his gentleness and affection! 】
[Female Goose must be awake! ! 】
Jiang Anning was inexplicably relieved when she saw numerous words suddenly flashing in front of her eyes reminding her to be vigilant and careful about Jiang Wei.
Originally, she was worried that she was too suspicious and was afraid of wrongly accusing someone.
Now it seems that her feeling was not wrong.
Jiang Wei made her very uncomfortable.
There is really no need for the person who makes her feel uncomfortable to have to humiliate herself to seek insignificant dignity.
"Why did Sister An Ning suddenly turn against Zhao Hai?"
Jiang Wei's eyebrows grew impatient. Jiang Anning's long silence made him feel very uncomfortable.
There has never been a woman who was so indifferent to him.
Not to mention how famous he was when he was in the capital, how many noble ladies from aristocratic families were very fond of him and threw fruitful cars at him. Ruian Town, a poor and remote place where birds don't shit, he casually teased a few words about these things. A few words from a young lady who has never seen the world can often make people blush and make their hearts beat.
Why is it that Jiang Anning is so boring?
In the past, she was quite enthusiastic and unrestrained towards Zhao Hai. Could it be that his handsome face couldn't compare to Zhao Hai's black legs?
Jiang Wei felt a little offended.
Jiang Anning was fascinated by the comments in the words in front of her. She came back to her senses when she was suddenly questioned: "Huh?"
That cute look that was obviously distracted made Jiang Wei even more angry.
This woman, this woman was still distracted when she was talking to him?
Jiang Wei was angry for a while, but his expression suddenly turned calm.
He understood that this woman must have done it on purpose.
I want to use this method of refusing to welcome him to arouse his desire to win.
Great, she won.
Jiang Wei sneered in his heart: Woman, you really caught my attention, you are very good at it!
There are people in such a small mountain village with such methods!
He really underestimated this woman before.
Jiang Anning felt that the expression on Jiang Wei's face was fluctuating and strange.
"Zhao Hai betrayed his trust, deceived me, and betrayed my true feelings. Isn't it right for me to report this to the government and seek justice for my wronged feelings?"
When she looks at people, she is neither humble nor arrogant.
Jiang Wei also looked at her in the same way.
Zhao Hai betrayed his trust first... This reason sounds reasonable.
But he just felt like something wasn't quite right.
There must be some secret in Jiang Anning's body.
"Brother Muramasa may think that my feelings for Zhao Hai dissipated too suddenly, but that is not the case."
Jiang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly: "I would like to hear the details."
Jiang Anning twitched her lips slightly bitterly: "Zhao Hai is not the first to deceive me. In the past, I always felt that people will change. Maybe he has some compelling reasons, thinking that he will correct himself in the future. Error.”
"Now that we are so unwilling to see each other again, it is actually because we have accumulated too much disappointment."
Jiang Anning lowered her eyes, looking like she still couldn't let go, and was just pretending to be strong.
Jiang Wei frowned slightly, staring at Jiang Anning who seemed to be immersed in disappointment and lonely. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether her words were true or false.
"Zhao Hai is not a good match. You are right to wake up and give up."
He said something half-serious.
Jiang Anning let out a low 'hmm'.
The two of them were silent for a long time.
Just when Jiang Wei wanted to test something more, Jiang Anning suddenly said: "So Muramasa-san, can you stop saying that you like me?"
Jiang Wei was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why?"
He stared at the person: "I really like you, I..."
"Then what does Muramasa-san like about me?"
Jiang Anning also looked at the person without blinking: "In other words, what is it about me that Muramasa-san likes?"
Jiang Wei's voice suddenly got stuck.
After a while, he stumbled and said affectionately: "When I first met you, I resented why I met you so late. To me, you are as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky."
< br>
He lowered his head in embarrassment: "I am afraid that you will laugh. I never had the courage to express my feelings to you before. I only dared to hide in the dark from a distance and spy on your every move..."
Jiang Wei's voice paused slightly, and soon he showed a bit of embarrassment: "I know that such behavior is not a gentleman, and I will definitely not act like a coward again in the future."
He looked at the person pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved: "Sister An Ning, can you forgive me for my rashness and cowardice before?"
Jiang Anning looked at the person silently.
The two people squatting and watching in the distance couldn't help but gasp.
"Our boss is so good at using this beauty trick! He is truly gifted, and he is indeed the best among the rich and powerful in the capital!"
"It seems that the plan will most likely come true. This Jiang Anning has always been easy to deceive. Now the Lord launches a fierce offensive towards people and expresses his love domineeringly. No one can resist it, let alone a country girl like Jiang Anning who has never seen the world. ”
Jiang Anning listened to the discussion between the two people in the distance, and looked at Jiang Wei with a slightly strange expression, who was completely unaware of this.
Jiang Wei's eyes looked strange: "What's wrong?"
He touched his face unconfidently: "Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Anning glanced sideways at where the two men were hiding.
Among the dense and lush trees, two men in gray were squatting, holding a strange cylinder in their hands, looking towards them.
Jiang Wei seemed to be aware of this and turned his head, looking towards where Jiang Anning's eyes fell.
Except for the bright yellow and green willows, I didn't see anything else.
Jiang Anning estimated the distance between the big tree where the two people were and here. It was about a hundred meters anyway.
She chuckled and looked back: "Nothing."
It just feels interesting.
This man actually wanted to use a beauty trick on her?
