Kuai Chuan: What to do if you madly criticize beauties who refuse to be cannon fodder

Chapter 51 The heroine's cannon fodder sister (3)

The current situation has far exceeded his expectations. He wanted to get rid of Jiang Lai as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to let her take a book from him.

The book was brought back by his grandfather when he was studying abroad, and he wrapped it in an ugly cover and threw it in this corner where no one would pay attention to it. After all, no one has discovered it until now.

But now, the book is in Jiang Lai's hands, so he can only endure it for the time being in order not to drag it.

"He Wazi, where's your grandma? The new daughter-in-law has come to visit the house, why hasn't the old lady come out to greet her?"

"My grandma is sick in the house, you go in and have a look."

After speaking, he pushed open the door and led Jiang Lai and the matchmaker into the cramped room. There was only one window on the wall, making the room dark and depressing. The old lady lying on the bed struggled to get up. He Xing Stepped forward to support her.

"Grandma, don't move, I'll help you up."

Seeing the obviously sick and inhuman old lady on the bed, the matchmaker immediately changed his face, pointing at He Xing and questioning him non-stop.

"What's wrong with your grandma? Didn't she just have a little illness?"

He Xing lowered his head and did not speak. This silence represented a guilty conscience, obviously admitting that his grandma was indeed seriously ill.

"What the hell is going on with you?! This good girl will soon be part of your family. You can't cheat her."

"I didn't intend to cheat her. Anyway, the situation is what you see. My grandma will only be able to lie on the bed in the future. I am her only grandson. I will definitely take care of the elderly. In the future, my wife will also help me. Take care of grandma, and take care of the land at home, otherwise our family will starve to death."

When the matchmaker heard this, his tone rose.

"Then what about your 70 yuan monthly retirement fee? It's enough to feed the whole family without farming!"

"Retirement fee? Several of my comrades sacrificed, and the money was given to their parents and children. I don't have to live on the retirement fee. I am young and can support my family with a little hard work. The girl who marries me needs to eat more Suffer a little, suffer a little more."

"Enduring suffering? Whose good girl is here to suffer with you! Come on, it's almost enough to see, let's go... What are you doing here?"

When the two were chatting, they didn't notice what Jiang Lai was doing.

Seeing that she had been looking around just now, He Xing thought that Jiang Lai was looking at his room, and he felt no burden or embarrassment, but just calmly showed his truest side.

He believed that Jiang Lai would run away soon, and would never consider this marriage again. After all, in such a poor family, which girl would marry willingly?

Except for that silly girl, of course.

The matchmaker's shout made He Xing stunned, and he turned to look. The scene in front of him almost made him doubt his eyes.

Beside the hospital bed, Jiang Lai was holding a bowl of water, and fed it to the mouth of the old man sitting on the bed little by little. His movements were patient and gentle, and there was no trace of disgust or impatience in his eyes.

Seeing this, the matchmaker hurried up to give Jiang Lai a hand.

"What are you doing? The grandson is here, and he doesn't need you if he wants to drink water!"

Jiang Lai seemed a little overwhelmed, but still took care of the old man and took the last sip, then quickly put down the bowl and looked at He Xing awkwardly while clutching the corner of his clothes.

"I just saw that the old man was thirsty and didn't speak, so I just... I just brought a bowl of water, and I didn't mean anything else."

The matchmaker gave Jiang Lai a helpless look, then took Jiang Lai's arm and walked out.

"Okay, okay, let's go when we're done watching, He Xing, take good care of your grandma, let's go back first."

He Xing looked at Jiang Lai with surprise hidden in his eyes.

It never occurred to him that Jiang Lai was not only not intimidated by the family's poverty, but would take the initiative to bring a bowl of water to feed his grandma.

After the two left, the old man slowly stood up from the bed and sighed.

"Jiang Lai is a good girl, Ah Xing, why do you push such a good girl away?"

He Xing came back to his senses, frowned, full of doubts and incomprehensions, and the silence made grandma sigh.

"Eyes can't lie. That child has a simple mind, which is just right for someone with a serious mind like you."

"Grandma, I have my own plans."

"I know what you're thinking. Grandma just hopes that you can find a good girl who knows the cold and the hot. You still have to make up your own mind."

"I see."

-

On the way back, the matchmaker kept scolding him.

"Why do you say you meddle in that nosy business? How poor are you before you go to his house? If a mouse goes in, you have to escape, not to mention you are such a big girl. I have been a matchmaker for so many years and I haven't seen it Such a poor family! The old lady is still a paralyzed person, with slanted eyes and a crooked nose, she doesn’t know how long she can live. Once you get married, you will be a pit of fire, and you will suffer for the rest of your life!”

Jiang Lai walked forward with her head down, still holding a piece of stalk grass that was picked up by the side of the road in her hand, and turned the straw with her fingers nimbly. When the matchmaker finished nagging along the way, the straw in her hand had become I picked up a delicate and small butterfly, lifted it up and blew, and the butterfly's wings fluttered up and down.

Seeing this, the matchmaker frowned and sighed.

"Xiao Lai, don't you have a crush on that kid He Xing?"

Jiang Lai neither nodded nor shook his head.

"He Xing is very filial."

"Filial piety doesn't matter. How can you be filial if you don't have food to eat? Didn't you see that his family can't even afford water for washing pots?"

Jiang Lai didn't speak, just looked at the matchmaker silently, and then pointed to the rice that was about to ripen in the countryside.

"I don't want to marry now, and I don't want to farm in the future. I want to study and pass the university entrance examination!"

"It's over, it's over... This child is a little dazed."

The matchmaker told Jiang Shansheng the truth about the situation at He Xing's house, and slapped his thigh while talking, wishing he could get everything he saw out of his mind.

"It's too poor, it's too poor! There's not a single grain in the rice jar, and there's not a single piece of flesh on the beams of the house. The three acres of land is wasteland, and the only old man is a paralyzed man. Fei Huan was used by that idiot He Xing to subsidize the families of his comrades-in-arms, so he can't get married, definitely can't!"

If Jiang Lai was married, wouldn't that just be a blow to his own brand?

Jiang Shansheng frowned and smoked non-stop, Jiang Lai who was beside him remained silent until Jiang Shansheng sighed.

"I see that kid He Xing is practical and capable, and I thought he was a good young sober."

"It's so stupid! Give the money away! I don't think he can even get ten yuan out of his pocket! Captain, you have to think about it, no matter what you do, you can't push your daughter into the fire pit!"

At this moment, Jiang Lai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something.

"Dad, it seems that school has already started?"
