A powerful country in scientific research

Because He Cheng had something else to do, Su Ran asked him to go back as soon as they reached the intersection of Jiang’s row of houses.

Su Ran took the things that He Cheng brought and slowly returned home.

When she got home, Grandma Jiang had prepared dinner and was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Grandma Jiang saw what Su Ran was holding and asked, "Ran Ran, what are you holding?"

Su Ran explained, "It was sent to him by He Cheng's uncle. He said he couldn't finish it, so he gave some to our family."

Grandma Jiang frowned, "How can it not be eaten? This child is too sensible, always thinking about our family. I will make the meat sauce later, Ranran, you can bring it to Xiao He tomorrow."

"Okay, grandma, I'll go wash my hands first."

"Go."

Su Ran put his things down, washed his hands quickly, and then went back to the main room.

She sat down at the dining table and saw that Grandpa Jiang hadn't come out yet. She asked in confusion, "Where's my grandpa? Why hasn't he come out to eat yet? Isn't he home?"

"Your grandpa, along with your second grandpa, your uncle, and your brothers Yunhai and Yunbo, went to the Xifeng Commune next door to pick up your aunt." Grandma Jiang sighed and continued, "At three or four o'clock, the daughter-in-law of the family next door to your aunt came to our brigade to look for your second grandpa, saying that your Hongmian aunt was beaten by your uncle-in-law and couldn't get out of bed, and asked us to go and see her quickly. When your uncle, grandpa, and second grandpa heard this, they quickly asked people to go to Xifeng Commune together, saying that they wanted to bring your aunt back."

Su Ran frowned, "West Wind Commune shouldn't be too far away, right? How did you get there? Why haven't you come back yet?"

In the original owner's memory, her second uncle, Grandpa Jiang's cousin Jiang Dawei, had three daughters, the eldest Jiang Hongxing, the second Jiang Hongmian, and the third Jiang Hongnan. Jiang Dawei was much younger than Grandpa Jiang, and her children were also much younger than Jiang Hongmei. The eldest daughter Jiang Hongxing's child was only in junior high school, the second Jiang Hongmian had a five-year-old daughter, and the third now had a son and a daughter.

Because he had no son, Jiang Dawei always felt that he couldn't hold his head up in the village. Although Grandpa Jiang also had no son, he had been living in the city after his marriage, and there were not as many gossips as in the village, so he lived a relatively peaceful life. But Jiang Dawei was not like that. The gossips in the village bent his back. Even though he found a son-in-law for his youngest daughter and had a grandchild with the surname Jiang, his back still couldn't stand up straight.

My cousin Jiang Hongmian's in-laws live in Zhangjiatun Brigade of Xifeng Commune. The man she married, Zhang Jianjun, has an older brother and three older sisters. As the youngest child, Zhang Jianjun was spoiled by his parents, brothers and sisters since he was a child, but he has a good temper. He looks gentle and polite to others. Otherwise, my cousin Hongmian would not have looked down on him and married him to the next commune. You should know that in this era, marrying in a different commune was considered marrying far away. At that time, no one asked for a gift when getting married. When Zhang Jianjun got married, no one in Zhangjiatun Brigade was not envious. After all, Zhang Jianmin basically married such a beautiful daughter-in-law without spending any money.

This kind of envy gradually disappeared after Jiang Hongmian gave birth to a daughter and did not have any more children. Now the people in the team only laugh at Zhang Jianjun and Jiang Hongmian. But even in the face of such sarcasm about "no family", Zhang Jianjun still behaves gentle and polite, and loves his wife. So in the original owner's impression, she always thinks that the two of them are very loving and her cousin-in-law is a very good person.

Su Ran was thinking about what Grandma Jiang had just said about Aunt Hongmian being beaten. She curled her lips coldly. Zhang Jianjun couldn't pretend anymore, so she said that in the original owner's impression, the Zhang family were all a group of top-notch people, so why did the youngest son suddenly become so good? It turned out that he was just pretending.

Grandma Jiang: "I borrowed the tractor from the team. It's not the busy farming season yet, so the tractor is idle."

After hearing what Grandma Jiang said, Su Ran frowned even deeper. The brigade where her cousin Hongmian married was not far from the Jiangshui Brigade. Grandpa and his team had been away on the tractor for so long and had not returned yet. There must have been some special situation.

Thinking about Jiang Hongmian, Su Ran and Grandma Jiang had no appetite and just ate a little and finished their dinner in a hurry.

It was almost eight o'clock when Grandpa Jiang finally came back.

He walked towards the east room with a tired look on his face. As soon as he came in, he saw Grandma Jiang and Su Ran talking inside. There was a kang in the room, so it was warm. So now the east room has become the place for Jiangshui Brigade to receive guests, and the main room has become the place for dining.

Su Ran saw Grandpa Jiang coming in and asked hurriedly, "Grandpa, how is cousin Hongmian? Have you brought her back?"

Grandpa Jiang nodded. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it on the chair next to him, then sat down on the edge of the kang. "We brought her back and sent her to your second uncle's house. Poor Hongmian. When we went there, the Zhang family was terrified to see us and insisted that Hongmian was not at home. We had to force our way in. When we went in, Hongmian was lying on the bed, struggling to speak. There was blood on the pillow and handprints on her face. That beast Zhang Jianjun even argued that your cousin Hongmian fell down herself. How could we believe it? At that time, your brother Yunhai, brother Yunbo, your uncle and the others beat him up, and then we quickly took Hongmian to the county hospital."

Grandma Jiang interrupted and said, "How's Hongmian? Is she okay? Where's Xiaoyu? Did you bring her back?"

She watched Jiang Hongmian grow up. The girl was well-behaved and sensible. She had always liked this niece. She didn't know what was happening with Hongmian's daughter Xiaoyu either. She must have been scared after such a big thing happened at home.

"The doctor said Hongmian's head was broken and she needed several stitches. There was nothing wrong with other parts of her body. The doctor said they were all flesh wounds and she just needed to take good care of herself. Then we came back. Xiaoyu was also brought back. Zhang Jianjun is not a human being. My teeth itch when I talk about him." Grandpa Jiang said gritting his teeth.

Su Ran frowned as she listened, "Will Aunt Hongmian return to the Zhang family?"

Grandpa Jiang: "Why are you replying? Hurry up and divorce him. Why would you still want to live with a scumbag like him? Men who beat their wives are the most incompetent."

Su Ran nodded in agreement.

Grandma Jiang was surprised, "Hongmian said she wanted a divorce?" In her impression, her niece was too well-behaved, or to put it bluntly, submissive. The only time she had ever been rebellious in her life was when she married Zhang Jianjun.

Grandpa Jiang was speechless, but he still said stubbornly: "She didn't say it, but she definitely thought so."

Grandma Jiang rolled her eyes at him, she knew he was talking nonsense again.

"I'll go see the red cotton tree tomorrow."

Grandpa Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, that girl tends to get stuck in a rut, go and try to persuade her."

"Well, that's enough, Ranran. You should feel relieved now that your aunt is fine. Go back to your room and go to bed early." Grandma Jiang said to Su Ran.

Su Ran nodded, "Then I'll go back to the room. Grandma and grandpa, you two should go to bed early too."

Back in her bedroom, Su Ran took off her clothes and changed into pajamas. She lay down on the bed and began to think about her cousin.

She has not met her cousin Hongmian yet, so she doesn't know what kind of person she is. According to the original owner's memory, her cousin Hongmian is too traditional and will not divorce. But Su Ran can't bear to see a woman being bullied like this. How can she convince her cousin Hongmian to divorce?

Su Ran thought for a while, but couldn't think of a solution. She only had one thought in her mind: life is too difficult for women in this era.
