Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Chapter 265 Going to the Countryside Part 24

Zhang Xiangru was different. She used to think that her brother's love affair and marriage had nothing to do with her. But now after hearing these words, not only was the house she had lived in since childhood gone, but she would also have to live under someone else's roof in the future?

It was only when her own interests were involved that Zhang Xiangru understood this truth, so she quickly winked at Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing naturally saw the look in his sister's eyes, but what could he do? His own parents didn't even think of him, so how could he expect his eldest brother's wife to be his?

Looking at his parents' attitude, Zhang Jing understood that his parents planned to rely on his eldest brother for support in their old age. As for himself and his sister, Zhang Jing smiled sadly in his heart.

Somewhere unknown.

A man received a phone call, listened to the content on the phone, and quickly agreed. Then he instructed his subordinate: "This time, the demolition plan will bypass..."

Looking at the backs of his men leaving, he didn't know why the young master would worry about such a trivial matter.

So after a while, Qin Wenjin pulled Jiang Mingzhu to the balcony and whispered, "Have you read the news online? This place will not be demolished."

After saying that, Qin Wenjin handed over his cell phone. Jiang Mingzhu took it and looked at the news carefully.

Then he said to Qin Wenjin with a disappointed look on his face: "What should we do then?"

Qin Wenjin immediately said, "Let's go home today. There's no point in staying here."

Jiang Mingzhu naturally agreed with Qin Wenjin's words. To be honest, she was a little disappointed when she saw the news, but later she felt fortunate.

I'm glad this place won't be demolished and my family and I won't have a falling out.

Ye Ying had no objection to Jiang Mingzhu and the others leaving. She didn't know the purpose of her daughter's return. After all, the two of them had lived here for a long time.

Zhang Xiangru looked through the peephole at Jiang Mingzhu and his wife leaving with their luggage, and she felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart.

God knows that after she learned about that incident, she has been paying attention to the city's demolition policy every day. She didn't expect the news to come out today, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their old building would not be worth much money if it were not demolished, but even if it was not worth much, it was still their home.

Zhang's parents were frustrated and hoped even more urgently that Zhang Chunlai would hold on to Dong Hongying, their golden child.

The Jiang family members realized later that their house could not be demolished. Seeing Jiang Chengcai refusing to eat, the old woman felt so distressed.

The old woman comforted him softly, "My dear grandson, I will find a way for you to get married. You have to eat. What if you get hungry?"

Jiang Chengcai looked at his grandmother, tears streaming down his face. "Grandma, our family is so poor, and the demolition project bypassed us. We also don't have the money to pay for the demolition. Will I be able to get married?"

Seeing her grandson crying, the old woman felt even more heartbroken.

Jiang Yi and Ye Ying also looked embarrassed. This house of theirs would have been suitable for finding a wife 20 years ago, but which girl today would be interested in such a house and such family conditions?

As the old woman's eyes turned, she suddenly saw Jiang Lin eating with a wooden face.

So he immediately made up his mind and said, "When I was doing square dancing, I met a matchmaker who had a brother and sister who were willing to exchange marriages."

Several people were still a little confused when they heard this. What is a marriage exchange? Only Jiang Lin's eyelashes trembled.

The old woman was a little annoyed when she saw that the men didn't understand what she said. She patted her son on the back and then explained, "The man marries our Linlin, and our grandson marries his sister. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."

Jiang Lin had a premonition when she heard it before, and now hearing the nominal grandmother calling Linlin really made her feel sick.

However, Jiang Lin didn't show it on her face, she wanted to wait for her parents' reaction.

Needless to say, Jiang Chengcai had put away his pretentious attitude, and his eyes were rolling around, obviously with some bad ideas in mind.

Jiang Yi was silent for a while after hearing this: "Does this marriage exchange require no gift?"

The old woman nodded hurriedly, then sighed and said, "We can't get the betrothal gift either."

Ye Ying lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Lin felt ridiculous that her marriage and her future were already decided by them in just a few words. She even felt sorry that she couldn't get the bride price.

Looking at Jiang's mother's silence, Jiang Lin couldn't help but think, wasn't Jiang Meng like this then?

On the surface, she seems reluctant to part with her daughter Jiang Meng, but has she actually done anything for Jiang Meng?

How could I think that I am an exception?

Even if she could get the demolition compensation, as a daughter in such a family, she would be sacrificed one day. Jiang Lin thought about this after hearing them say that it was a pity that her elder sister got married too early.

When my eldest sister got married, there was news that this place was going to be demolished. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to marry Qin Wenjin.

Jiang Lin was also somewhat fortunate that her younger sister Jiang Meng, with whom she had a not-so-good relationship, did not choose to come back after going to the countryside.

Jiang Yi seemed to have just remembered to ask Jiang Lin's opinion at this moment: "Linlin, what do you think? How about we go and meet in a couple of days?"

Jiang Lin was completely disappointed with these two people, and then said calmly: "Okay."

Seeing that Jiang Lin had no other objections, Jiang Yi was happy that he had such an obedient daughter.

The old woman seemed to have solved her lifelong problem and felt a lot more relaxed. What made her even happier was that her precious grandson finally had his meal.

Ye Ying didn't know what to say about this situation. Jiang Lin and Jiang Chengcai were both her children, so she would definitely hope that both of them lived well.

Moreover, siblings should support each other.

Suddenly, Ye Ying's heart skipped a beat. Why did it feel so familiar? But no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember when something similar had happened before.

Then, the shadow of Jiang Meng flashed in Ye Ying's mind.

For a moment, Ye Ying felt that the rice in the bowl was so hard to swallow.

The meal passed with the old woman, Jiang Yi and Jiang Chengcai happy, and Jiang Lin and Ye Ying feeling bored.

While everyone was fast asleep, Jiang Lin got up in the dark and took out her household registration book, ID card, passbook and wallet from the bedside table.

Jiang Lin, who didn't dare to move, picked up her backpack, packed a few sets of clothes, put on her shoes, and then carefully opened the door.

A second before going out, Jiang Lin paused for a while, not knowing what she wanted to do, but she still walked out without any reluctance.
