Chapter 901: Follow Her

Most of the women in the village were like that. They liked to ask about money whenever they met anyone.

“Yes, they are very good to me. They gave me a big red packet,” Jiang Yao replied with a smile. However, she did not say how much. After she washed her face, she returned to her room under the envious gazes of her relatives.

Jiang Yao had left, so no one could ask her about it. They could only turn to ask Mrs Jiang. Although Mrs Jiang loved to show off, she knew that there were some things that she could not do.

For example, the number of red packets her daughter and son-in-law had given the two of them the previous year, or the amount of money that Jiang Yao had received from her in-laws.

Jiang Yao sat in her room; she was bored. She listened to the loud voices in the courtyard as they talked about how much money the daughter and son-in-law had given the parents for the new year, how much betrothal money the family had received when they sold their daughter, whose daughter was old enough to be sold, and whose son was old enough to be married.

When they mentioned daughters to be sold, they meant that they were to get married. It was the county’s custom that demanded a high dowry for the daughters. When asked about it, they would never say that they were marrying off their daughters. Instead, they would say that they were selling off their daughters.

As a daughter, Jiang Yao was also a person who had read many books and saw the same kind of publicity at school daily. At first, when she heard that word, she was extremely displeased. However, she had gotten used to it.

That topic often made her feel that it was vulgar and annoying.

However, Jiang Yao could only mutter a few words in her heart. Then, she laid on the bed and thought about her gift for Lu Xingzhi’s birthday.

She had thought about it since the last time he texted her. It was almost time for her to go to the army to celebrate the New Year with him, but she still did not know what gift to give him.

The more Lu Xingzhi looked forward to it, the more pressure she felt. If she did not prepare well and let him down, she would not be happy about that either.

Just as Jiang Yao thought about that, her phone rang. It was Ah Lu.

“I found out that Yang Gaoshu is preparing to leave for the city right now. She has an appointment with that man to go shopping in the city.”

Jiang Yao was excited when she heard that. “Follow her!”

Jiang Yao felt energized. After she hung up the phone, she began to think of a way to get Jiang Lei to the city so that he could witness his girlfriend as she shopped with another man intimately.

There was no need for a thousand words of explanation if he could witness it personally.

Even though it would be a blow to his heart, it would be a short-lived pain. After the New Year, it was an excellent time for Jiang Lei to leave the old and welcome something new!

However, Jiang Lei was still ignoring her. Even if she had a way to coax Jiang Lei to go to the city with her, he would not do it.

After she thought about it for a while, Jiang Yao opened a drawer and took out a pen and paper to write a short message. Then, she tore the paper from the notebook and folded it four times. Then, she called out to Mrs Jiang in the courtyard.

“Mom, come here for a moment. I need to talk to you about something!” Jiang Yao stood at the door and waved at Mrs Jiang.

Mrs Jiang wiped her hands dry before she went to her daughter. She asked if the younger woman wanted breakfast and then asked her about the matter.

“Mom, please pass a note to Jiang Lei for me.” Jiang Yao felt shy when she handed the note to her mother.

Mrs Jiang was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter. “It’s rare that you’d take the initiative to admit defeat. Why don’t you tell your second brother yourself? Do you still need to use this method to pass a note to him? I’m getting old, and I don’t understand young people like you anymore.”
