Chapter 335 Jiang Liansheng's Suggestions
Not seeing the old secretary follow in, Xu Damao's heart shuddered, but he still said with all his might: "How dare you come in? You want to take advantage of your own daughter-in-law. Is there any father like you?"
"Your daughter-in-law's clothes are so torn, but you don't know how to deal with it, but you want to cheat on her. Aren't you ashamed at your age?"
"Come on, follow me to see the official!"
"If the commune secretary doesn't care, we'll go to the police station. I don't believe there's no place for us to seek justice!"
After saying that, Xu Damao bravely walked towards the door.
Even though he looks very confident at the moment, he is actually planning to run away immediately if Jiang Liansheng turns against him.
Xu Damao is a tall and strong man with long legs that are over 1.8 meters long. He is not good at fighting, but if he runs away, few can outrun him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liansheng clasped his hands together, put on a smiling face and said ingratiatingly: "Calm down, sir, calm down, sir, it's just that I was upset, so I did something worse than pigs and dogs.
Secretary Gang'er also dealt with me, and took me to the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall to swear that if I did such a shitty thing again, he would drive me out of Jiangjia Village, and even if I died, I would not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb, and I would become a lonely ghost. "
"I promise Cui Lian again here that from now on, you sleep in the inner room and I sleep in the outer room. If I touch you again without your consent, you will go to the old secretary and report me and have me kicked out of Jiangjia Village!" Jiang Liansheng vowed.
At that time, the words "swearing an oath in the ancestral hall", "being driven out of the village", "not entering the ancestral tomb", and "being a wandering ghost" combined together were a great guarantee and better than anything else.
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao and Jin Cui Lian both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Damao puffed out his chest and glared, acting like a tough guy with a righteous look: "Then why are you coming in now?"
"Hey, well, the old secretary asked me to come over and tell Xu Dianying that the movie is about to start, and to come to our house after the movie..."
"No, we were having supper at Cuilian's house." Jiang Liansheng licked his face and continued:
"Xu Dianying, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
"After you have supper, don't go back to the commune to sleep. Stay at our house and stay in Cuilian's room for one night. It's quite troublesome to go back and forth in the middle of the night."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Cui Lian's face turned red.
Projectionist, projectionist, every village has a mother-in-law. She is very familiar with this jingle. Does her father-in-law mean that she should be Xu Damao's darkroom?
The movie star in front of me, Mr. Xu, is tall and handsome. It would be okay for me to follow him, but I don't know if he would be interested in a widow like me.
Jin Cuilian grew up in the countryside and was used to seeing women in the village staying at other people's homes to get a meal. For example, let's not talk about the old secretary just now. Even though he was so old, didn't he often see a decent-looking woman carrying a bag of food coming out of his house early in the morning?
What has been done is self-evident.
The more Jin Cui Lian thought about it, the more excited she became. She covered her face and buried her head in the quilt for fear of laughing out loud, shyly pretending to refuse.
This made Xu Damao very happy.
But on the surface, he said righteously: "That's impossible. How inconvenient is it for a man and a woman to live in the same room? If others find out, won't they gossip about it?"
"Well, I'll stay in the east room tonight, so that you won't come in and bully Sister Cui Lian in the middle of the night."
Jiang Liansheng was grinning from ear to ear, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "No, no, no, it was the old secretary's idea to let you live in my house, I don't think anyone dares to gossip!"
"The old secretary has said that no one would dare to gossip about you sleeping on the same kang with Cui Lian tonight, let alone staying in Cui Lian's room."
"You don't know about the new movie. There is a stinking ditch next to the house on the east side. It is full of mosquitoes at night. How can a delicate city dweller like you like Xu Dianying stand it?"
"Well, I'll give you the mat in the outer room, and you can clean up the mat on the floor of Cui Lian's room. Is that okay?"
"I am a peasant with a lowly skin. I will stay in the east room tonight. It can be regarded as a punishment for my stupid behavior today."
Jiang Liansheng's words were reasonable and logical, and they almost cut off all of Xu Damao's escape routes.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xu Damao reluctantly agreed and asked towards the kang, "Um...sister-in-law, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
“But…you can…” Jin Cui Lian replied softly.
For a moment, the room was a little awkward, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.
At this time, Jiang Liansheng stood up again and said, "Well, Xu Dianying, why don't you go to the threshing ground and play the movie first? If you have anything to say, you can still talk to Cui Lian after the movie is over."
Then he slapped his head and said, "Look at my poor memory. I'll wash the mats in the room first, and you can use them when we watch the movie in the evening."
After saying that, Jiang Liansheng walked out of the house without looking back.
"Sister Cui Lian, I'm going to go show the movie first, and I'll come back to see you after it's over."
"Well...I'll wait for you!"
……
After returning from the movie, the old secretary had already prepared a table of food at Jin Cui Lian's house. The dishes were not particularly rich, but there were chickens and eggs, and the staple food was white flour buns.
Although most of it was eaten by everyone, the remaining soup was enough to support Jin Cui Lian's family for several days.
After the meal, the old secretary and his entourage left without saying anything. Jiang Liansheng did the same. He winked at Xu Damao and backed out the door, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.
In a blink of an eye, only Xu Damao and Jin Cui Lian were left in the huge house. Xu Damao walked into the inner room holding a mat, silent.
Jin Cui Lian heard the noise and looked up with a slight blush on her face.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you by borrowing your room for one night. Don't worry, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Xu Damao said politely.
"No...it's okay."
"Brother Xu, you don't have to be estranged from me. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been... killed."
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. The main reason is that the old secretary is here. If it were just me, your father-in-law would definitely not buy it."
The young widow insisted, “If it weren’t for you, the old secretary wouldn’t have come to my house.”
"Also...sister-in-law is sister-in-law, why do you still call me little sister-in-law, Brother Xu? It feels weird..."
"Hehe, I just learned to call you that from my neighbor next door. Calling you sister-in-law is a bit presumptuous, and you're younger than me if I call you sister-in-law, so I might as well just call you little sister-in-law."
"Why don't you like it? If you don't like it, I'll change it."
"No, I like it!"
There were only the two of them in the room. After chatting for a few words, Jin Cui Lian relaxed. She went to the well outside the yard and fetched two buckets of water: "You look tired and sweaty. Take a shower quickly so that you can sleep well."
Xu Damao had been traveling and showing movies all day, and he was indeed sweating a lot, so he took the bucket and said, "Okay, then I'll go outside to wash. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Jin Cui Lian hurriedly stopped him: "No, you don't have to go out, just wash in the room. If someone sees you in the middle of the night, who knows how it will spread."
"Sister-in-law can help you rub your back in the house so you can wash faster."
This hit the mark exactly what Xu Damao wanted, so he stopped refusing.
The weather in October is the hottest and humidest. Soaking a linen towel in well water and hanging it on your body will keep you cool.
Jin Cui Lian pressed Xu Damao's shoulders with one hand and rubbed Xu Damao's back vigorously with a towel in the other hand, making Xu Damao feel extremely comfortable.
