Chapter 567 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (35)

After visiting relatives and friends, the cars Bai Ze bought were delivered. They were all classic models from recent years, a total of eight cars. The paperwork had all been completed. Jiang Yue's current place could only fit four cars. The other yards were even smaller and the garages were small, so each yard could only fit two cars. It took three yards to fit all eight cars.

He's been traveling around lately and bought a piece of land in the suburbs. He plans to build a villa and a professional garage. He also wants to buy cars later, otherwise the yard will only have a few spaces, and there won't be enough room for a few more cars.

With four more cars at home, we've had a lot more visitors every day. Most men like cars, so they all come to take a look. If we're close, we can take them for a spin, but borrowing them for a few days is absolutely out of the question, not even a second thought.

Jiang's father secretly asked Jiang Yue if it was a bit too conspicuous, but Jiang Yue comforted him, saying it was fine and that everything had been reported to the authorities, so there was no need to worry.

Mr. Jiang has been having more and more free time lately. His birthday is in May, and he can retire in May. Nowadays, the factory even gives him a gift when he retires, and they also issue him a certificate. It's quite a grand ceremony.

"Dad, when you retire, you can learn to drive and then take Mom for a drive."

"Forget it, it's too flashy, I don't like it."

"Don't drive those in the garage, drive the ones in the yard."

"No, it's the same if I take your mom out for a ride on my bicycle."

"Alright then." If we can't reason with him now, let's wait until he retires. If all else fails, he'll be willing to drive when there are more taxis on the streets in a few years.

"By the way, where did my son-in-law go? I haven't seen him for days. He's been studying cars, isn't he?"

"No, something came up at the company."

Actually, they brought back a lot of technology this time, and Bai Ze was called away to help out. He probably won't be back until close to the New Year.

"Your mom misses Lele and wants me to bring her home for a few days. Do you want to go home and stay for a few days too?"

"Okay, let me pick up a few clothes, and I can still make it back in time for dinner."

"Oh, right, bring some stones and stuff, and fix up my fish tank."

"What? Wasn't it just finished a few days ago?"

"Don't even mention it! Jiang Ze secretly fed me a huge handful of fish food, and all the fish died and the water stank. I was so angry I almost died!"

"..."

After arriving home, Jiang Yue examined the fish basin and found that the fish hadn't died from overeating; the water had been polluted, and she didn't know what had been put in it.

After cleaning it up, I demonstrated how to do it to Jiang's father again. From now on, he'll have to do it himself; I can't let Jiang Yue come over every time.

After finishing, I added water. Since there are no fish yet, I put in some aquatic plants and other things first. I didn't put in any fish because it's too cold to keep them alive outside. They would freeze to death if I put them in.

The children who went out to play during dinner time also came back. There are relatively few children in Jiang Yue's neighborhood, so she can go out and play with them.

After staying at home for a few days, Bai Ze returned home. Just before the Chinese New Year, Bai Ze came back. This year's Chinese New Year was the same as usual, with nothing different.

In May, Mr. Jiang officially retired. He was still getting used to retirement, but he had some hobbies he had cultivated before, such as playing chess and fishing every day, so it wasn't too boring.

...

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was 1990.

Entering the 1990s, things were even more favorable for Jiang Yue and Bai Ze, but not so good for most people. The factory reforms were making things worse and worse, and Jiang Yue's brother and sister-in-law were also affected, as was Jiang Ze, who had only graduated a few years ago and hadn't settled down yet.

The same goes for my older brother's two children, including Xiao Donggua Jiang Chen, who is 20 years old and about to graduate. They will soon be facing the issue of finding a job, but many companies no longer accept the children of their employees.

Fortunately, they have an older sister (aunt) named Jiang Yue, who has already prepared a way out for them. If things don't work out, they can go to their own company. If they are capable and want to try their luck, she can sponsor them to start a company. They still have some connections in the family.

"Okay, Mom, my brother and sister-in-law can go to work at the company even if they can't. It shouldn't be a problem to arrange some easy jobs for them. Tell them not to worry. Do you and Dad want to come and stay for a few days?"

“We’re not going. Your dad and I went back to the countryside. Your aunt called and said that your grandparents are sick again. We’re going to visit them.”

"Shall I give you a ride?"

"No need, you should stay home."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue put away the PHS phone. Bai Ze had invented this thing a few years ago, and Jiang Yue immediately got one for each member of her family to prevent her parents from being reluctant to use it. She even paid the phone bills.

After putting away the mobile phone, Jiang Yue sighed. She estimated that her grandparents wouldn't make it through the year. If Jiang Yue hadn't given them some pills, they probably wouldn't have lasted this long.

Sure enough, Jiang's mother called that evening. After hanging up, Jiang Yue drove to her grandmother's house and then took the elderly couple to the hospital. After the doctor examined them, he told them to prepare for the funeral.

Father Jiang was heartbroken. Jiang Yue went to pick up her third and second uncles and called her second aunt who was with her husband in the military. She said she would rush back immediately, but she didn't know if her grandparents could hold on until then.

After everyone was present, Grandpa and Grandma woke up. At first, they were listless, but after a while, they became energetic. Everyone understood what this meant, and they all had tears in their eyes.

Grandpa and Grandma told everyone not to cry, and spoke to each of them individually, comforting them and telling them not to be sad. They said that living to be over ninety years old is considered a happy death, and that they had enjoyed a lot of blessings over the years.

The land was given to the second uncle's family, and the house and money were left for Jiang's father to handle. After saying where the money was, he left.

"father!"

"mother!"

"Don't you want us anymore?"

Everyone was crying uncontrollably. Some children, though they didn't understand what was happening, also started crying. Although it wasn't good to make noise in the hospital late at night, no one dared to come over and say anything even if they were woken up.

After calming down, I took the two elderly people home. Once home, we started the funeral according to the procedure. My second aunt didn't return until three days after the old man passed away. She burst into tears before even entering the courtyard.

After the old man was buried, the family gathered together again. Everyone in the house was in a low mood. Even though it was the same house, it felt like something was missing, as if it had suddenly become a stranger.

"Before my father passed away, he told me to divide the family property among everyone. Since we're all here today, I'll talk about how to distribute it."

"First of all, there's the family land. My parents said they'd leave it to the second son. I hope no one has any objections."

Seeing that no one had expressed their opinion, Mr. Jiang continued, "The rest is money and the house. The savings account is here, and the total amount of money is 5,000."

“I don’t want this money. Second sister and third sister will each get 1,000. Second sister and eldest sister usually take care of parents more, so they will each get 1,500. Does anyone have any objections?”

"Brother, let's split it equally. I'm taking care of our parents and I don't need this money. Besides, this money is basically what you guys give to our parents. What would it be like if I took it?"

"Brother, I don't want it. Give my share to Second Brother and Eldest Sister."

"I don't want it either. I don't usually go home, what would I do with this money?"
