The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Chapter 251: Miscalculating the Plan



Jiang Xiaoxiao stretched lazily in the sunlight, shielding her eyes from the glare.

Fan Xiuying scolded her tenderly.

"Just look at those dark circles under your eyes. Who's like this? I called you for breakfast this morning, but you didn't eat and worked straight through to noon. I'm telling you, after lunch, you must take a good nap this afternoon. You can't go back to pounding on that sewing machine. Who does that?"

Looking at her daughter's dark circles, how could she not feel concerned?

Jiang Xiaoxiao teased Nuonuo happily, "Mom, I know, I know! Hurry and make me a meal, I'm really hungry. After eating, I'll go right to sleep. But I made you a whole new outfit, it's right there in the room. Go in and check if it fits, if it doesn't, we can fix it now."

Holding Nuonuo, she pushed her mother into the room, and Nuonuo thought her aunt was playing a game with her.

She even used her little hands to help push her grandma's back, and together they managed to push Fan Xiuying into the room.

Fan Xiuying was both amused and touched, feeling warm inside. How thoughtful of her daughter to make clothes for her!

On the bed lay two finished outfits; it was clear one was for women and one was for men.

When she put on the outfit, Fan Xiuying was stunned herself.

She hadn't expected her daughter's craftsmanship to be so good.

A light blue shirt paired with gray Dacron pants.

The blue top had tapered lines at the waist, making one look especially spirited.

These clothes were far better made than those by tailors on the street.

Only five days later, when they returned to the farm, did Fan Xiuying realize that her daughter had taken so much fabric not just for her and her son-in-law; she had made an outfit for everyone.

Fan Xiuying couldn't help feeling heartache; her daughter worked tirelessly day and night, making so many things.

Looking around, no one was left out.

She even made clothes for the old lady and gentleman of the Song family.

The two of them finally sat on the bus back home.

Over there, Jiang Xiao called to hurry them, as the old couple had already set a date.

If they didn't return, they'd miss the time for the ceremony.

Jiang Yue sent her mother and sister onto the bus, glanced at the three thousand yuan in her hand — this money was given by her sister before she got on, telling her they had made money from growing ginseng, so each of the two sisters and one brother would get three thousand yuan.

She told them to use it wisely.

Jiang Yue initially refused to accept it, as she hadn't yet repaid the thousand yuan borrowed from her sister.

Even though the couple saved 30 yuan in their account each month,

yet, together their monthly salary was just over 60 yuan; saving 30 yuan was already their limit. They wanted to repay their sister's money early.

But it took time; the previous debt hadn't been paid off, and the sister then gave them another three thousand yuan.

She didn't need to guess how hard her sister worked growing ginseng.

After all, she had worked on the farm, not only earning money but considering how much effort went into it.

Of course, she didn't know exactly how much her sister earned on the farm, just felt her sister worked hard to make that money, and wondered why she gave it all to her, when she should save it for her own marriage now that she had a home.

If she gave this money to her sister's husband, it might cause conflict, which wasn't worth it.

But no matter what, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't accept it and just left on the bus.

Jiang Yue went back and locked the money in the cupboard, thinking she must find a way to return it to her sister.

Anyway, her sister was getting married in a couple of days, maybe she could give it back then.

Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to the farm.

This period was half a month before the autumn harvest; to put it plainly, getting married now was because it was the least busy time.

There's no need for weeding because the wheat and rice fields have reached maturity long ago; anything done now is useless.

Yet out of the blue, she saw Ye Hua.

She thought Ye Hua had returned; it was almost a month since the last time she came for her son's matter, how was she still here?

In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao was mistaken; Ye Hua hadn't stayed the whole time, she thought she had sorted things out for her son, after talking it over with Mr. Wang, as long as Fang Peizhong went to find Mr. Wang, everything was nailed down.

So she left the next day, but who knew when Fang Peizhong went to see Mr. Wang, plans changed, and he was clearly told to return to the farm and work well.

Fang Peizhong spread around the farm that he would soon go to the county as a worker, receiving envy from many.

And many people invited him for farewell dinners, wanting to maintain good relations — in case they'd need a favor, everyone wished to be a worker in the county.

But who would have thought things would change?

Fang Peizhong, who was prideful, suddenly fell sick being laughed at.

While he was ill, Liu Hongmei was very caring and attentive.

His relationship with Liu Hongmei progressed rapidly.

Yet their sleeping together was witnessed.

After all, during this period, issues of male-female conduct were serious, reached a point where he had no choice but to marry Liu Hongmei.

The production team leader also talked with him.

This was a serious issue; without a marriage certificate, if spread, the consequences could be severe.

The least could be having a record in his file, as there was an upcoming selection for border area support.

If he caused this issue and got on that blacklist, he would likely be the first to go.

Fang Peizhong worried and could only call to tell his mother he was marrying Liu Hongmei.

Whatever the situation, he had to marry first to stabilize things; he couldn't support the border.

Future matters could be handled later.

Hearing this, Ye Hua felt like thunder struck.

What was happening? Her son was marrying a young educated woman there.

More upsetting was Mr. Wang agreeing wholeheartedly, just to change his mind.

Thus, she requested leave and rushed over, going to the county to confront Mr. Wang.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang wasn't home; Mrs. Wang directly told her to find their old man if she had any issues, it was Old Sir Fang who called directly.

Ye Hua was even angrier at their old man, the old guy was always causing trouble.

Clearly agreed here, yet the old man spoiled things with one call.

What could she do?

She could only return to the farm to see her son. Understanding the situation there, and knowing marriage was fixed.

If he didn't marry Liu Hongmei, he genuinely supported the border, getting him back would be harder than climbing the sky.

She could only make a tactical retreat, marry Liu Hongmei, and consider divorce later.

Who would know such things over here as long as Jingbei remained unaware.

In the future, her son could still marry another woman she preferred.

Besides, marrying Liu Hongmei meant Fang Peizhong, now with a family, wouldn't be on the border support list.

It was a blessing in disguise.
