Chapter 537 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (5)
After Jiang Yue sat down, everyone lined up automatically. Sister Zhang had explained how to do it to Jiang Yue yesterday, so she handled it for everyone with ease. After finishing, Jiang Yue asked everyone if it was correct. After receiving everyone's thumbs-up praise, Jiang Yue smiled. As someone was leaving, they asked Jiang Yue, "Accountant Jiang, can I get some hot water?"
"Sure, but I just boiled the water and it's not boiling yet. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a bit."
"This will do right now, thank you."
After the person left, Jiang Yue noticed people pointing and whispering in her direction. They were probably discussing her. A while later, Sister Zhang returned like a gust of wind. Jiang Yue saw that she had a smile on her face, so the matter must have been resolved.
"Xiaoyue, thanks to your reminder, I'll be leaving in half a month. I'll be leaving all the business to you for the next two weeks, and I'll be here to check for any omissions or deficiencies."
"That's great. By the way, Sister Zhang, I just approved some money for the purchasing agent. Please check if I did it right."
"Hmm? Let me take a look."
After checking the documents, Sister Zhang said to Jiang Yue, "There are no mistakes at all. It seems you've really learned it and it's not just talk. I'm relieved."
Afterwards, Jiang Yue accompanied Sister Zhang in dreaming about their new life. In the following days, Jiang Yue received all the people who came to do business. On the day before Sister Zhang left, all the business was handled. On her last day at work, Sister Zhang suggested selling the bicycle to Jiang Yue as well.
"No, Sister Zhang, you're not leaving anything for the family? Didn't you say this bicycle was for your sister-in-law?"
āIām not keeping it anymore. I saw her writing a letter to her brother yesterday saying bad things about me. Why should I keep it for her? That would be masochistic.ā
"What does your brother-in-law mean? What does he think of your actions?"
"Actually, he doesn't really like his family. My mother-in-law prefers my husband's younger sister and brother-in-law, and doesn't pay much attention to my husband. After he grew up, the only thing he did when he contacted people was ask for money, so..."
"That's good. Once you're away from this big family with the army, Sister Zhang, don't ignore this place. Send some things back during holidays, so no one can say anything."
Sister Zhang gave Jiang Yue an annoyed look: "Do I need you to teach me this? You little brat, just mind your own business. By the way, do you want the bicycle? If you do, just give me 80 yuan. I've had it for a few years. I asked at the consignment store before, and they had similar consignment bikes for 87 yuan."
"Yes, I do. You're leaving tomorrow, and I don't have any money on me."
"It's okay, I'll leave you an address, you can just send it to me."
"Wait, let me go ask Uncle Zhao if he has any money on him."
Jiang Yue went outside to check the surroundings and found Station Master Zhao inside. She knocked on the door, went in, and explained the matter of borrowing money: "Uncle Zhao, that's the situation. I'll bring the money to you tomorrow."
"Wait, let me see if this is enough."
Uncle Zhao rummaged through the money and found a total of over seventy yuan. Jiang Yue happened to have a dozen or so yuan on her, so the two of them pooled their money together. Jiang Yue gave the money to Sister Zhang, and the two of them went to the police station to transfer the money, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if something happened later.
When it was time to leave work, Jiang Yue and Sister Zhang were a little reluctant to part. Although they had only spent a short time together, they were true friends: "Sister Zhang, I will write to you."
"Sister too, you're by the sea over there, I'll send you some seafood when I get there."
"If you need anything, remember to write to me. It's more convenient to buy things here than over there. How about I bring it to you tomorrow? Do you have a lot of things?"
"No need, you should just go to work. Your brother-in-law's comrade is going home to visit his family, and he's taking us with him this time."
Jiang Yue rode her bicycle to take Sister Zhang to the bus stop. After the bus left, Jiang Yue sighed. If she hadn't known what would happen next, this farewell might have been their last.
It took more than 20 minutes to ride the bicycle home. Since the bus has a fixed route, the bicycle can just take the shortest route. Everyone was quite curious to see Jiang Yue riding the bicycle back, because there was only one bicycle in the courtyard, and it was the dowry that the female lead brought with her when she married into the family.
Speaking of which, I wonder how the female lead and her mother-in-law are doing since I'm at work every day. I'll ask Jiang Ma when I get home. That gossip squad knows everything. Jiang Ma wasn't at the gate today; she must be cooking at home. Little Jiang Ze wasn't with the other kids either, which is a bit strange.
Jiang Yue pushed her bicycle into the yard, greeted the neighbors, and went inside. As soon as she entered, she saw her grandfather holding Jiang Ze, and her grandmother and mother cooking. The house was filled with the aroma of meat. When they saw Jiang Yue come in, her grandparents exclaimed, "Our good granddaughter is back!"
"Grandpa and Grandma!"
When Jiang Yue came back, her grandmother stopped cooking with her mother and came over to chat with her. As one of only two girls in the Jiang family, she was given a lot of attention. Jiang Yue had thought something had happened at home, but it turned out that her grandmother had come to deliver pork. The village had slaughtered a pig and distributed the meat, and her grandparents, thinking of their sons, had come to the city to give them the meat.
Grandpa and Grandma had three sons and two daughters. Jiang's father was the eldest son, and he had two older sisters. The second uncle lived in the same village as Grandpa and Grandma. The third uncle and Jiang's father found jobs in the city. All of them got married and started their own families. However, only the eldest aunt and Jiang's father's family had two sons and one daughter. All the other families, regardless of how many children they had, had boys.
"Grandpa and Grandma, please stay a few more days. I have a day off the day after tomorrow so I can spend more time with you."
"I'm going back tomorrow. I came here yesterday and stayed at your third uncle's house for a day. I'm going back tomorrow morning."
"Why."
Jiang Yue chatted with the two elderly people for a while, and in the middle of the conversation, she gave them some health-strengthening pills. Because both of them were not in good health and were experiencing pain all over their bodies, Jiang Yue's parents had already given them the pills some time ago. Only little Jiang Ze hadn't taken any, as he was still too young to need them.
After a while, Jiang's father and eldest brother also returned. They were overjoyed to see their grandparents. A little while later, when it was time to eat, something delightful happened. You see, it's impossible for the protagonist's courtyard not to have a few eccentric neighbors.
Just now, Old Li's grandson came asking for meat, and he even brought a super big bowl, claiming that one bowl would be enough. As a result, he was scolded by Aunt Jiang. Of course, Aunt Jiang wouldn't scold a little kid; she brought her child to someone else's doorstep to scold him.
"This child, how was he raised? He's not as well-mannered as the children in the village."
"He's spoiled by his family! His mother is no good either. Her eldest son is a gambler and womanizer, and her youngest son has been raised to be like this, always trying to take advantage of others."
"Yes, he even stole my candy."
"What? Why didn't you tell Mom sooner!"
"It's okay, I ate it in one bite and he didn't snatch it away."
