Chapter 226: Chapter 223: Jiang Jian Country: How Come I Didn’t Know I Had a Fiancée?

But after making a round, even Ning Yan was ruled out. She almost believed it was someone from the Third Branch of the Jiang Family, but she couldn’t openly ask what Jiang Jian Country looked like, so she just wandered around the village aimlessly.

However... the one who said they were taking a break was really taking a break. She roamed around the village committee a few times without seeing anyone.

Seeing her cousin getting impatient, she came up with an idea to go see the first well of Qingshan Village at the door of the Third Branch. The elders said this first well carried fortune with it, and touching it could bring some good luck.

Li Minzhang thought his cousin was really clever. Don’t think he didn’t know what she was after; he just didn’t want to stop her. If she could really get close to the Third Branch, he could also benefit from it. As for that box of treasures, if he wanted, it would ultimately end up in the hands of him and his son. He has his ways.

At this moment, Jiang Jian Country, who was being thought about, was on the roof of the flat side house beside his main house. He finally understood why it was designed this way before; it turned out Jin Zhi was leaving space for their family to install something useful.

Specifically, like the street lights in the yard and the drying yard, they all use solar power. Except this time, it’s not for lighting, but for heating water so everyone can take a bath.

Jin Zhi mentioned this before, and they thought he was joking, but now it’s about to come true. In retrospect, Jin Zhi was never someone who joked around. In Yueyue’s words, he was a serious academic person.

He hadn’t met any other academic persons, but when it came to being serious, he thought that didn’t fit, as Jin Zhi was quite approachable.

Jiang Jian Country didn’t know that Jiang Mingyue meant serious as an attitude, not in expression. It’s just that Jiang Jian Country didn’t understand now.

Yan Jinzhi assembled the pieces he had forged and polished over the past few months, which turned into the solar collector and insulated water storage tank he wanted. As for the automatic water controller, it wouldn’t be used for now until Qingshan Village had electricity. For now, they still had to manually add water to the storage tank, but during baths, they could release hot water.

The weather wasn’t particularly good today, but he wasn’t worried. As long as it wasn’t raining everywhere, his solar collector would provide hot water.

It was heard that both the Third and First Branch of the Jiang Family installed high-tech devices that could heat water using solar power. The village was once again abuzz, with people flocking to the Third Branch of the Jiang Family to ask questions. Yan Jinzhi was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, answering every question, to the point where even Mrs. Jiang was jealous.

She thought to herself that it was fortunate Jin Zhi was part of their family, but this thought startled her. She sneaked a glance at Yan Jinzhi and then at her own fourth child, feeling a chill run through her heart.

Look... Look... One only has eyes for the villagers, and the other is only concerned with farming in the backyard. Won’t they even look at each other from a distance?

Mrs. Jiang was extremely anxious! Although her daughter was excellent, and Jin Zhi seemed to like her daughter too, this not-too-close, not-too-far relationship was making her, as a mother, uncomfortable!

At this moment, she even hoped her daughter would take the initiative to bring such a good son-in-law into their family.

Don’t think the people in the village aren’t thinking the same. Those with daughters are envious, and those without are thinking of matching for their nieces. But this dazzling Yan Jinzhi, they knew they couldn’t match him, even if they weren’t literate, they understood the reasoning.

Trying their best to get close, some sought comfort, questioning if a girl who only knows farming, without culture or knowledge, could stand alongside Yan Jinzhi?

Everyone knew in their hearts: No!

So, they could only watch from afar, their insides aching.

However, her family’s Ming Yue and Jin Zhi seemed like a match made in heaven; no one would oppose them standing together, yet the two themselves were not moving, making her as a mom very anxious.

Jiang Mingyue, naturally, was busy, as little Xiao Ran was always thinking about growing carrots to feed his Coal. She had already bought the seeds from Wang Tiezhu and was now preparing a four-square-meter patch of land in the backyard to sow them. Pathetically, this little patch was even seized from Lianhua’s spot. Now that Lianhua had been harvested, Mrs. Jiang was very efficient in dividing the twelve cabbages: two to Fourth Aunt, three to Aunt Jiao whose family was larger, Wenquan took three, and only four were left at home.

She distributed the vegetables quickly, quite proud: Look, who says there’s waste? It’s not even enough to share, is it?

"Sister, where’s my apple tree?"

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Ha! She almost forgot about it, but this little creature still remembered. Didn’t they say kids forget things after one night’s sleep?

Xiao Ran mimicked Mrs. Jiang, putting his hands on his hips and disapproving, "Sister, I’m not saying you, but how long have you promised this? You used to say you were busy, but these days you clearly aren’t that busy. So tell me, when will you get me an apple tree?"

Jiang Mingyue felt guilty, realizing she shouldn’t delay on promises to a child; she decided to resolve it today.

"Tonight, I’ve talked with our big cousin. He’ll have someone send an apple tree, and we’ll plant it by then, okay?"

"Hmph! This is the last time I believe you, hope you’ll cherish your feathers."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Alright, the things she taught him are now being used against her.

Wait a minute, it seemed there was something outside the sunflower stalk fence. Xiao Ran saw his sister staring at a spot and quickly ran over to see what’s going on.

The back door suddenly opened, and Jiang Beishan flinched, but when she saw it was Xiao Ran who came out, she relaxed.

Even so... but...

She was still a bit afraid of Jiang Mingyue. It felt like this person’s eyes could see through her heart, not to mention she was caught red-handed stealing from the Third Branch.

How embarrassing!

Everyone needs to save face, and she’s no exception.

Xiao Ran stood silently staring in one direction. Jiang Mingyue curiously poked her head out and, with just one glance, she understood.

The person in front of her was indeed Jiang Beishan, but her spiritual power could no longer enter her mind.

There’s only one reason for this—this cousin had changed her personality.

Once selfish and indifferent to right and wrong, she now seemed to consider others. No wonder Xiao Ran didn’t recognize her; the softened Jiang Beishan seemed like a completely different person. It’s true that appearances follow the heart!

"What’s up?"

The person hiding behind the Fire Torch Fruit tree poked her head out.

"You don’t think I’m here to stir things up?"

"...People looking for trouble wouldn’t look as timid as you do, right?"

The shadow behind the Fire Torch Fruit tree was silent for a while before stepping out.

"I, I’m not here to cause trouble. I just came to tell you, I just saw educated youth Li Minzhang bringing a strange girl wandering around your house. The girl even gave Wang Daya two dollars to spread rumors that she’s Big Cousin Jian Guo’s fiancée."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Oh! Big cousin is getting a peach blossom fortune!

Her spiritual power immediately extended outward, soon finding Wang Daya nearby. As expected, the girl was talking to a group of old ladies and old men, talking about how Jiang Jian Country now had a fiancée, who was educated youth Li Minzhang’s cousin Bai Meimei, currently studying at Liu Village.

But someone was puzzled, "Daya, are you talking about the one Jian Guo carried back on his bike this morning?"

Wang Daya shook her head decisively, pointing with her hand, "It’s the sister standing under the soap tree."
