Chapter 198 A live-in son-in-law won't do.

At first, I had some doubts about whether he had accepted bribes from patients, otherwise how could he be so well-off? Later I realized that his ancestors were powerful and had built up a huge family fortune. He didn't want to do business; he just wanted to be a good doctor.

His parents were open-minded and let him do as he pleased, since he wasn't their only son. However, for his own sake, they transferred a lot of shares in his businesses, and the annual dividends alone amounted to a considerable sum.

"Mom, the family relationships in this large, intricate group are complicated. We ordinary folks are still..."

Wow, he really dares to say that. Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Chao opened his mouth, the Ice Age arrived instantly. The noisy main room that was just a second ago became completely silent. Even Xiao Bai, who was sleeping on top of the TV, looked up at the table with a look full of doubt in his eyes.

“Ah Chao, I’m glad you can speak your mind directly. If you have any questions, don’t hold back, just say them. I have an older brother who manages the business. He has a son who has been helping manage the factory since he learned to keep accounts. As for me, I only know how to treat patients and I know nothing about business. I have no children and I just collect my dividends. As for the branches of our ancestors, apart from a few old relatives, the rest have all immigrated overseas. We make a phone call during holidays and exchange some local specialties. There’s no such thing as a complicated family relationship…”

Jiang Chao snorted and turned his head away. Yun Xia met Bai Jie's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and poked his thigh under the table with her small hand, signaling him to tone it down.

"Then...where does my mom live?" Jiang An asked softly, clutching his mother's clothes.

"It's simple. I'll move in directly into the family home. This is the old town, the pace of life is slow, it's near a park, and the air is fresh. I really like it."

"No, you can't move in!"

If they really move in, the Jiang family from Chestnut Village will come and cause trouble every day. Just thinking about that scene gives me a headache.

"Why?"

"Why so many questions? After we get married, my mom, An'an, and Yunxia will move to your house, and I'll stay here in this little courtyard. Don't forget, the property deed is in my name now."

Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of the group, the girl, knowing Jiang Chao's worries, instantly transformed into a sharp-tongued spokesperson, vividly describing the scoundrels of the Jiang family in Chestnut Village.

"A person with an upright character has nothing to fear, and is not afraid of their troubles!"

"What I'm worried about is that they'll block the place every day, which is annoying. If they push us too far, they might throw filth on the walls. Wouldn't that be disgusting?"

She had heard that the Jiang family in Chestnut Village couldn't pay their debts, and the creditors brought people to throw rice and excrement on the walls. The smell was so bad that the neighbors reportedly moved to relatives' houses overnight. The Jiang family, who were in the wrong, dared not resist and could only hysterically curse their children who had run away years ago.

Yes, since their last meeting at the park, Jiang Nan, Jiang Wu, and Jiang Yue have not shown up again. They did send back some local specialties and a few dozen yuan, but every time they went to the mailing address, they found nothing. After this happened several times in a row, they realized that they were deliberately trying to prevent anyone from finding them.

“If Uncle Bai doesn’t agree, then…we’ll each live in our own homes. Even if we get the marriage certificate and have the wedding banquet, you and my mother will still have to live separately.” Jiang Chao raised his eyebrows slightly and his thin lips moved slightly, delivering a heavy blow.

Between the two options, Bai Jie decisively chose the lesser of two evils: "Let's do as Jiang Chao says. There are plenty of empty rooms in the villa. In the past, it was just me and the nanny, which made it seem particularly deserted. It will definitely be lively when everyone moves in together."

"Brother, are you really... not coming with us to move?"

Living in a big villa, who wouldn't be happy? But young Jiang An couldn't bear to part with his own older brother.

“I live on campus now. After I start my senior year internship, I will live in the dormitory assigned by my company. I will come back to live here less and less. Whether I move with you or not, it won't make much difference. An'an, just follow your heart. There's no need to worry so much.”

After saying that, she winked at someone and quickly comforted them, "An'an, Jiang Chao is right. If we move to a bigger house, you'll have your own studio, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's parkour range won't be limited to the three tiled houses and the yard. When spring comes, we can move the apricot and grape trees in the yard over too. Besides, not moving over doesn't mean you can't stay there. Think about your older brother, he lives in a high-end neighborhood, but he still stayed at our house for several years. And similarly, moving over doesn't mean you can't come back to stay. Come back anytime on weekends, holidays, and summer vacation!"

Hearing this, Jiang An lowered his head and pondered. If it was really as Xia Xia said, it seemed acceptable. Finally, he nodded, "Okay then, Mom, Uncle Bai Jie, when are you two getting your marriage certificate?"

As expected of Jiang Chao's younger brother, Bai Jie was overwhelmed by the heavy blow. Yun Xia quickly pulled him over, covered his mouth, and casually changed the subject. The group chatted for a while longer, and when they saw that the clock had already pointed to 1 o'clock, they heard a faint rumbling sound from their stomachs beside them.

"Ahem, Aunt Wu, Uncle Bai, um... I'm hungry!"

Wu Lifang was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my brain, how could I forget such an important thing? Come on, let's book a private room at the restaurant. If we go late, they won't reserve it for us."

Upon hearing this, the group tidied themselves up and headed outside. When they encountered some good news and asked the neighbors, they gave perfunctory answers and continued on their way. Fortunately, the restaurant owner was kind and reserved a private room for them. The dishes were plentiful and delicious, and the group ate until their bellies were full before getting up to leave.

According to custom, after the man visits the woman's family, a few days later, the woman must bring her elders or peers to the man's home to check things out. Wu Lifang's parents had already passed away, and she had no elders in her own family. As for the group from Chestnut Village, none of them were on the list of candidates. After thinking it over, Aunt Yang was a good choice, along with Aunt Qu.

After a day's visit, the three returned and described Bai Jie's house to Yunxia and the others. It was a three-story villa with white walls and red tiles. The front yard was over 100 square meters with a cement floor, making it very spacious. The back yard was over 300 square meters and filled with flowers and fruit trees. The house was elegantly and freshly decorated, and the facilities were impeccable.

The car looks like it's from a few years ago, but it's very well maintained. However, the housekeeper is very arrogant and disrespectful. Whenever Bai Jie is not around, she makes sarcastic and critical remarks. If it weren't for the "Xiang family" incident, Yang Zhaodi would definitely have lost her temper.

After listening, the girl rubbed her chin with her fingertips, pondering the nanny's intentions. She figured the nanny probably disliked the new mistress. Like a fox, she would eventually show her tail. She should pay more attention in the future, find something to hold against her before talking about anything else.

"Aunt Wu, are you satisfied?"

"I met his father. The old man is a very kind person. He loves to laugh, is open-minded, and expressed his support. He also really wants to pick you and An'an up as soon as possible. He said that his descendants are too few, and he only has one grandson who is not close to him. He really wants a granddaughter!"

Yunxia, ​​who inexplicably became a granddaughter: ...Why does this sound like an old rascal?
