A Family of Three with a Kitchen Transmigrates to the 1960s

A short-tempered mom? A money-grubbing dad? A humorous trio of women were sent to the 1960s by a leaky electric kettle, bringing with them a kitchen that could infinitely replicate food and a space...

Chapter 586 Don’t Pick the Wildflowers on the Roadside (Twenty-Four)

Li Jingru's daily task after moving into the small western-style building was to serve Fifth Master Jiang. At first, it was certainly a novelty, and the two were inseparable. But as time went on, the novelty wore off, and with the widespread use of red armbands during the movement, Fifth Master's visits to the small western-style building gradually became less and less frequent.

Later, Li Jingru told Wuye that she was too lonely living here. At that time, the situation was tense, and Wuye didn't dare to hire a nanny casually, fearing that they would be unreliable. Taking this opportunity, Li Jingru proposed to bring her parents from the countryside to accompany her. This way, she would not be afraid of the news leaking out, and it would be more reliable.

So Li Jingru took the train back to the countryside, picked up her parents, and returned to Shanghai. The old couple still didn't believe her, thinking their daughter was being bullied and didn't dare to tell them when she got home. So Li Jingru told them everything about Jiang Wuye. She had to know when she got back to Shanghai anyway; it was only a matter of time before they found out.

I successfully persuaded the old couple. When I wrote the letter of introduction, everyone in the village knew about it but still didn't believe it. They thought being a nanny was not a promising career. Why would my parents go to the big city? To be a nanny? Wouldn't it be a burden to send these two old people here?

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, they told the brigade leader where they were going. Although the brigade leader had the same idea as the villagers, he didn't say much and readily issued a letter of introduction.

He also calculated the couple's six-month work points in advance and converted them into money, which he paid to them himself. The poor family made the road rich, and the team leader did a very good job.

In this way, Li Jingru's parents took a train with Li Jingru to a bustling metropolis and lived in a tall building that no one in their entire village had ever seen, and they have lived there ever since.

After arriving in Shanghai, the couple returned to their hometown every New Year to pay respects to their ancestors. They wore brand new clothes and shoes, and brought back the finest gifts, a truly glorious return. They were also generous with their New Year's gifts to the children of their neighbors, giving each child a dollar in a red envelope. This drew the envy of the entire village, who kept asking where their daughter worked and how she earned her money.

Every year when they return home, they are always eager to borrow money from their family and try to establish connections with them. It's no longer like before when they laughed at their sonless family. Now when the couple returns to the village, half the village comes to greet them.

If Jiang Laowu severed ties with them, not only would their future happiness be ruined, but they would also have to return to the countryside. How could the three of them, accustomed to living in this spacious and beautiful little Western-style house, return to the village? Li Jingru, accustomed to being a young lady, couldn't imagine life in the countryside. Only then did she realize the fear she felt: the fear of losing Master Jiang Wu.

And Li Jianshe, although he is very good to Li Jingru and is Jiang Yiming's biological father, he has no ability to make money! His monthly salary of only a few dozen yuan is not enough to pay for Li Jingru to perm her hair.

My parents have long developed the habit of spending money lavishly. They can't have a meal without three or four dishes. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Without Jiang Laowu's support, where will the family live? How will they live in the future?

The three of them kept their mouths shut, as if they would have to pay back all the money they had spent over the years if they spoke. Judging from the situation, the girl who came today was not a good person. She even brought bodyguards with her. She was going to settle the score. It was really going to cost her life.

Li Jingru originally wanted to act like a rogue and would never break up with him, no matter what, and would do whatever she wanted. However, she didn't expect that Shui Shui would see through her plan at a glance.
