Chapter 1948 Jiang Fengshou's Home

Shu Yu hadn't expected that she was involved in this. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Didn't the master give me two taels of silver yesterday? On my way back, I passed by the jewelry store and saw that it was still open, so I went in and bought a bracelet. When I got home, I gave it to my wife. She was very happy and treated me very, very well, and..." Their marital life that night was also very harmonious.

Jiang Fengshou stopped mid-sentence, realizing that Shu Yu was an unmarried girl and that he couldn't say such things. He then changed the subject, saying, "The boss doesn't know, but after I left Liu's shop a few months ago, I couldn't find any work and had no money. Forget about buying things for my wife, my older brother and sister-in-law give me attitude every day, and my wife suffers because of me. Life has really been too difficult."

After he withdrew from the Liu family, he had not been able to find suitable work.

It wasn't that he couldn't find any; it was that he wasn't sure if other shops would be like the Liu family's. Before things settled down, he was afraid of getting involved in these troubles and implicating his wife, children, and parents.

Not only did he not look for work, he rarely even left his house.

Despite his seemingly unreliable nature, he is actually very cautious in his actions.

However, this led to his elder brother and sister-in-law disliking him, saying that he was idle all day long and always made sarcastic remarks. This treatment continued until he was hired by his employer as a manager some time ago.

After confirming that Jiang Fengshou was the right person to manage the shop, Shu Yu learned about his family.

Jiang Fengshou has an older brother and an older sister. After his sister got married, only he, his brothers, and their parents remained in the family.

The house was bought by Jiang Fengshou's grandfather. Grandpa Jiang was very fond of Jiang's eldest son and was extremely biased. Before he died, he said in front of everyone that the house would be given to Jiang's eldest son in the future.

Jiang Fengshou's shameless personality is largely due to his family background.

Apart from his married sister who still cared for him, everyone else favored his eldest brother. As a child, Jiang Fengshou did many foolish things to get his family's attention, but later he gave up and his feelings for them faded considerably.

Don't be fooled by his excuse when he resigned from the Liu family business—that his father was sick and he needed to go back to take care of him. In reality, he didn't have much affection for Jiang's father. Jiang's father wasn't as dramatic as Jiang's grandfather, but most of his attention was still focused on his eldest son.

Even their treatment of their children differs significantly.

Fortunately, Jiang Fengshou was quite ambitious. He earned some money when he was a peddler in his early days, so his family didn't dare to treat him too badly. Later, after he got married and his wife became pregnant, Jiang Fengshou didn't want to travel around anymore, so he worked hard to become the manager of Liu's General Store.

Even so, he didn't actually have much money. He earned the money to get married and have children himself, and he also had to give some to his parents. His older brother said the house was his, and they had to pay rent for living there.

If he hadn't been so stubborn, he probably would have done what most men do nowadays: hand over all his money to his parents for safekeeping before the family splits up.

He wanted to separate the family, but his wife disagreed.

Even though Jiang Fengshou had a bad reputation among the neighbors, his wife still wanted to salvage it for him, especially since he was now the shopkeeper. If his parents and brothers made a fuss, the owner would definitely not want him anymore.

Fortunately, Jiang Fengshou was the manager, so he had a stable source of income and a high status in the family. His parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law didn't dare to do anything to them, except for trying to swindle money from him.
