Chapter 339: The Old Lady is Expelled, School Starts in September (3rd Update)
In fact, the old lady was not happy to live under the same roof with Han Yunru.
But she couldn't bear to leave this luxurious and beautiful villa, nor did she want to fulfill Jiang Da's unfilial son's wish - to drive her away, right? Then she had to stay and disgust them!
If she is not happy, no one else can expect to be happy either.
So, when Jiang Teng asked "Is that right?", the old lady nodded in agreement.
"See, I knew Mom would still like to live with Big Brother and the others!"
Communication has reached a deadlock.
The old lady refused to leave and was disgusting. Jiang Da wanted her to leave but couldn't chase her away openly.
Jiang Fuyue was standing on the second floor. Seeing this, he let out a light sigh.
Jiang Xiaodi looked up at her and said, "Sister, Dad seems to be in a difficult situation."
"Oh." She responded calmly.
"Then...can we help him?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "No."
"Why?"
“There are some things that others can’t help with.”
Jiang Xiaodi seemed to understand but not quite.
In the living room, Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng both looked at Jiang Da, waiting for his final statement.
Han Yunru also looked at her husband, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.
Maybe she was too impatient and pushed him too hard...
Just when she was about to say something, Jiang Da stopped being silent.
"Since Mom likes living with her son and daughter-in-law, then the three of us can take turns taking care of her. What do you think?"
Without waiting for Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng to answer, Yang Jinqiu and Liu Shuting changed their expressions first.
What kind of joke is this?!
Letting the old lady go with them? Isn't that asking for trouble?
After years of being together as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no one knows the old lady's character better than the two daughters-in-law.
Being sarcastic and mean, and often beating and scolding her, were considered the least of her problems; she also often gossiped in front of her son, spoke ill of her daughter-in-law, and caused discord between the couple.
Yang Jinqiu had experienced this kind of hardship when she first got married.
From then on, she saw through the old lady. To put it nicely, she was "worrying", but to put it bluntly, she was a "troublemaker"!
Whoever has her in his family will be unlucky.
As for Liu Shuting, as the beloved daughter-in-law, she suffered less hardships than Yang Jinqiu, but she looked down on the old lady at all.
Not to mention the inconsistency in living habits, she couldn't agree with many of the old lady's opinions. For example, if the words she used to insult Han Yunru happened to her, she would probably rush up and tear the old lady's mouth apart.
The thought of living under the same roof with an old lady made her scalp tingle. How could she possibly agree?
He immediately winked at Jiang Teng: Don’t forget what you promised me before you left!
Jiang Teng was also anxious. Although he usually said he was filial, what he hated most was the old lady's control over him.
What if we really live together?
It would be strange if he wasn't nagged to death!
Yang Jinqiu didn't dare to be as blatant as Liu Shuting, but at this moment she looked at Jiang Hua with worry, hoping that he would not agree.
But Jiang Hua didn't even look at her. In this kind of matter, men should make the decision, and what women think is not important.
Seeing that the two were silent, Jiang Da asked again.
Jiang Teng's eyes rolled, and seeing that Jiang Hua seemed to be agreeing, he gritted his teeth and took the lead, saying, "How can this be?"
Jiang Da asked back: "Why not?"
"Well...we all have to work, so who's going to take care of Mom at home? Well, even if we hire a nanny, she can't be running around with all three families, right? Besides, even though our house is a small Western-style building, we can't spare two rooms for Mom and a nanny to live in right away!"
Jiang Hua remained silent and still did not express his opinion.
Jiang Da asked Jiang Teng directly: "Then what arrangement do you think is more appropriate?"
The ball has been kicked to Jiang Teng, and now Jiang Da and Jiang Hua are waiting for him to express his opinion.
"I..." The man was a little confused, "How would I know..."
Liu Shuting tugged at his sleeve, and after a glance between the couple, he coughed lightly.
"Actually, after much thought, I think it's better for Mom to move back to the old house."
The old lady widened her eyes in surprise, unable to believe that these words came from the mouth of her youngest son whom she had always loved.
"A Teng, do you dislike me too?" If Jiang Da's expulsion only brought her anger and unwillingness, then Jiang Teng's avoidance and pretending to be stupid really hurt her.
"Mom! I'm innocent! How dare I dislike you?" Jiang Teng immediately defended himself. "I just think you'll feel more comfortable in your old house. After all, you've lived there for decades, and there are still old neighbors. The doctor also said that a familiar environment is conducive to recuperation. Although you miss us, you should at least take care of your own health, right?"
He always thinks of his elderly mother, just like a good son who is filial to his parents.
After hearing these words upstairs, Jiang Fuyue almost believed his lies.
But the old lady didn't "almost" believe it. She believed it almost immediately. She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and she sang: "A Teng is filial and considers me in everything. He is not like some ungrateful people. It's better not to raise him..."
Everyone present knew who was being scolded.
Jiang Teng was afraid that the three families would take turns coming, so he took advantage of the old lady's joy and quickly advised: "Mom, don't hesitate. No matter how nice the villa is, it's not as good as your own home. When you recover, you can come and live with any of our three brothers!"
The old lady snorted coldly: "Forget it, some people's homes are very expensive, I can't afford to live in them!"
Jiang Da listened to the sarcastic remarks and remained indifferent.
The eldest brother seemed to have become a different person. Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng looked at him with obviously different eyes.
In the end, the old lady was taken away, and Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng left with their wives.
They were the only four people left in the huge villa.
Jiang Fuyue took Jiang Chenxing to the living room and tentatively called him, "Dad?"
"...Huh?" Jiang Da paused for two seconds before reacting. He looked up at his two children. They were still as honest as ever, their eyes warm and simple. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Fuyue handed over the cup: "Drink water."
Jiang Da raised his head, took a few gulps, and then exhaled a breath, feeling relieved.
See, he can still do it.
He couldn’t do it before simply because he didn’t want to, didn’t want to, and didn’t dare.
"Yueyue, Chenxing, did Dad disappoint you?"
Jiang Xiaodi understood a little, but not all, and just said, "Dad was so handsome just now!"
Jiang Da smiled, touched the back of his son's head, and then met his daughter's gaze.
"Yueyue..." He was slightly distracted.
Daughters are not as easy to fool as sons.
"Dad, I'm not the person you should be asking this question to."
Jiang Da trembled all over, and in an instant, he wanted to escape and didn't dare to turn around to look at Han Yunru.
Finally, the woman spoke first: "Let's go upstairs and talk."
The voice is soft, gentle and peaceful.
Jiang Da followed immediately, not wanting to be too far away, but also not daring to get too close, like a pug following closely, his back revealing a somewhat embarrassed and pitiful look.
"Sister, will mom and dad quarrel?" asked Jiang Xiaodi.
"Won't."
Because the silly boy has finally come to his senses.
After entering the bedroom, Jiang Da closed the door.
"Wife...Wife...Don't ignore me..." He didn't dare to shout in front of the two children downstairs just now, but now that they were alone, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
He keeps calling her "wife" on the left and "daughter-in-law" on the right, as if no matter how much he calls her, it's never enough.
Han Yunru pursed her lips, a little annoyed and angry: "Are you done yet?!"
"Honey, I'm sorry."
Han Yunru said calmly, "You have nothing to be sorry for."
"Yes! I made you suffer. I was wronged. I failed to find you in time and stand by you when you were in the most difficult time. It was my fault."
"I shouldn't have allowed Mom to treat you so harshly..." Jiang Da's mind unconsciously flashed back to the scene he saw through the crack in the door last night. His heart ached, "Wife, I'm sorry for putting you through such hardship by marrying me."
Not only does she have to live with such a rough, rude and boring man, but she also has to endure the humiliation and squeeze from this man's mother.
"I didn't do well in this matter, but I will reflect on it," Jiang Da said word by word, his eyes serious. "If I do anything wrong in the future, please tell me, okay? You are my wife, the one I will spend my whole life with. No matter what you say, I won't be angry, nor will I blame you, so don't be afraid..."
It turns out that this fool understands everything!
Knowing her worries and concerns, and understanding her "can't say", he now told her "don't be afraid"...
Han Yunru's heart suddenly felt sore and swollen.
"Husband..." she murmured.
Jiang Da couldn't care less and rushed over to hug her: "Aru, you finally called me, I'm so happy!"
Mrs. Jiang's mischief came to an end for the time being. In the blink of an eye, it was September, the golden autumn, and Linnan No. 1 Middle School welcomed the start of the school year...
Three updates, three thousand words.
The annoying old lady won't come out to cause trouble for the time being~
