Chapter 170: 170 Entanglement

"Mom, is this Mengjie’s wedding?"

"Yes, you made it in time, hurry inside."

Kong Demin followed Tian Shulan into the yard with his luggage.

Jiang Xinyu watched her mother, who walked ahead, with a genuine smile on her face. But the son following behind had a subtle expression.

Kong Demin noticed Wang Ailing and the other person, just glanced at them, and went inside.

"Xinyu, let’s leave quickly, I won’t be staying for dinner anymore."

"What happened?"

"I can’t stand Kong Demin, I’ll tell you when we get home."

"Alright, let’s go then."

As the two were heading out, they ran into Sun Ermei. "Where are you two going?"

"Mom, we’re heading back, Kong Demin returned."

"Alright, off you go, take your bowls with you too."

"Xinyu, when I was thirteen, Kong Demin tried to touch me, so I always avoid him.

That’s why our families have not gotten along because of this incident."

"Well, that’s a character issue."

"Yes."

Jiang Xinyu noticed Wang Ailing didn’t want to talk much, so she dropped the topic.

Kong Demin went inside to meet Kong Mengjie, saw Huang Hongwei, and was a bit surprised; his proud little sister had actually chosen someone older?

However, he didn’t say much, just told Huang Hongwei to treat his sister well, doing what a brother should, and then left. He saw Jiang Xinyu and Wang Ailing.

He wandered in the yard but didn’t find them; the Wang Family was all there. Were they avoiding him?

A few years ago, he took a fancy to Wang Ailing, a girl who matured early, out of curiosity. So he flirted with her once, but she had a fiery personality and told her family, forcing him to join the army.

At this moment, the newlyweds came out. Kong Zhongyou introduced everyone, "Alright, I won’t say much, let’s just grab something to eat. Given the circumstances, we apologize to all our friends and family."

Below were voices of congratulations, knowing the village chief’s son-in-law is an official at the textile factory. That’s human nature, instinctively currying favor towards those with the capability.

"Thank you, friends and family, for attending my wedding with Mengjie." Then, a long speech followed, pledging to treat Kong Mengjie well in the future, and hoping for everyone to accept him.

Huang Hongwei had been a workshop director for several years, not nervous about speaking at all. Everyone listened pleasantly below.

"Alright, dinner’s ready, let’s eat."

Kong Demin pulled Tian Shulan aside. "Mom, I just saw Wang Ailing and Jiang Xinyu, why aren’t they here anymore?"

"They probably went home. Demin, forget about Wang Ailing; even considering Wang Jianqiang, it’s impossible. Now that girl is officially employed, and her family won’t agree either.

Jiang Xinyu is the best, now promoted to office director, I saw your brother-in-law fawning over her just now."

"Really? I never noticed before; she actually has such capability?"

"Yes, she’s been abroad twice. She brought back some grain for our village."

"Hmm, Mom, I’m going out for a while."

"Go ahead, just don’t act impulsively anymore."

"Hmm, I’m not that young and reckless anymore."

After Kong Demin went out, Wang Xiaolong hurriedly told his wife while drinking porridge, then immediately followed after him.

Kong Demin headed straight to the Wang’s house, but seeing the door locked, he thought for a moment and went to the Jiang’s house instead.

The door was bolted from the inside. He knocked loudly.

"Who is it?"

"It’s Kong Demin."

Jiang Xinyu’s hand stopped just as she was about to open the door. "What do you want?"

"Do we have to talk like this just because we live in the same village?"

"I’m not available right now; tell me what you want."

"I just wanted to chat, nothing important."

"Sorry, I’m busy tidying up, you can go ahead with your things."

Kong Demin heard footsteps inside the yard.

"Wait, I just wanted to ask about Kong Mengjie’s husband."

"Sorry, you should ask Kong Mengjie about that. I don’t discuss other people’s business, so I can’t answer your question."

Jiang Xinyu went inside and saw Wang Ailing tending the fire.

"Sis, the Kong Family is as annoying as ever, how can he have the nerve to come over?"

"Xinyu, I think the Kong Family is plotting against you; be careful."

"Me?" Jiang Xinyu suddenly recalled last year when the eldest of the Kong Family came over to confess to her; this family really is disgusting.

"Sis, let’s extinguish the fire and head back."

"Alright, I want to go back too."

Wang Xiaolong saw his home’s door locked, frowned, and went to the Jiang’s house.

He happened to bump into Kong Demin head-on. He passed by him and went to the Jiang’s house door, knowing Kong Demin had been rebuffed, feeling relieved.

"Ailing, Xinyu, open the door."

"It’s my big brother; I’ll open the door."

"You two, hurry and come home with me, it’s too cold here."

"I forgot to ask Mom for the key." Wang Ailing was also feeling cold.

Jiang Xinyu extinguished the fire, locked the door, and followed them to the Wang’s house.

"Big brother, we’re heading back now."

"Alright, I’ll walk you home."

"No need, big brother, we’re fine."

"No, I’ll walk you home anyway."

"Xiaolong big brother, aren’t you afraid of Kong Demin? Just keep an eye on him, while we ride our bikes, it’s fast." _{f r\eew,eb novel.c(o)(m)}

"Okay, I’ll pack some sweet potato chips for you; Mom made them especially for you two, keep them in your pocket and chew when you’re hungry."

The two didn’t refuse; packed five pounds in the basket, hard as rocks, enough to last a long time, it’s great for chewing.

After seeing off his sister, Wang Xiaolong returned to the Kong’s house, searched around, saw Kong Demin was at home, then felt relieved, picked up a bowl, and served himself another, continuing to eat.

After two hours, the two arrived at the county, then felt at ease.

Got home and pushed the bike inside. "Xinyu, I’m heading back."

"I’ll ride with you."

Wang Ailing didn’t refuse; she carried Jiang Xinyu, to ride back herself afterward.

Back home, Jiang Xinyu felt famished, having expected to be happy returning home, not expecting to run into that kind of person.

Started the stove, kindling in the big pot; the bed was warm, but not hot enough, making the warm bedhead comfortable to sleep on.

Sitting beside the stove, she ate a sugar bun and finally felt at peace. Despite having good food throughout the year, this body couldn’t withstand hunger, needing sugar whenever hungry to relieve low blood sugar.

Once the water boiled, she put in some pieces of sweet potato and left two sections of yam for eating later.

Tomorrow, she planned to bake some bread and give one to each of her two neighbors’ households, having promised them, she wouldn’t go back on her word.

Actually, baking bread is quite laborious; kneading the dough alone can take an hour, although she couldn’t make a glove membrane, she knew the more kneading the better the layers.
