Chapter 192 The Care of Family

Tian Rong felt embarrassed to keep a straight face anymore. Actually, Comrade Lu was also a good guy.

She thought her daughter didn't like the man, which is why she wanted to match her up with Meng Qi.

Now that her daughter has made her choice, she, an old woman, shouldn't get involved in the affairs of the young people.

However, she was very curious about how the two of them had gotten together.

Lu Mingzheng then described a few instances of how he relentlessly pursued Jiang Ruzhen, which amused everyone.

Tian Rong was laughing when she suddenly burst into tears. She wiped her tears and grabbed Lu Mingzheng's hand.

"Little Lu, my Ruzhen has had a tough time! She became a widow at a young age, raised four children, and was even schemed against by the Qin family."

And with our whole family to burden her, she's had a tough time all these years!

The old lady's cry of anguish brought tears streaming down Jiang Ruzhen's face.

The other members of the Jiang family also looked sad and lowered their heads.

"Xiao Lu, I'm entrusting my sister to you from now on."

"Xiao Lu, although I don't know anything about your relationship, I trust your character and I'm sure you'll take good care of my sister."

After her two older brothers finished expressing their opinions, Jiang Nian'an also sighed.

“Xiao Lu, you must treat my youngest daughter well. Even if you stop loving her one day, don’t hurt her. Give her back properly, and we, as her parents, will love her even more and make it up to her.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen burst into tears.

It's strange, I don't usually feel like I'm suffering.

But she couldn't stand her family's concern. They all felt sorry for her, and she felt really wronged, so she couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, look at you, why are you saying these things during the New Year? If I'm not suffering, then no one is suffering. Good days are coming." Jiang Ruzhen choked up as she tried to force a smile.

In front of everyone, Lu Mingzheng hugged Jiang Ruzhen and comforted her, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I will love Azhen for the rest of my life, until the day I die."

I will never let anyone bully her, not even myself.

The Jiang family was overwhelmed with gratitude, but Zhou Qing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

She wanted to cry and complain at the same time. She wanted to cry because she was also a child who was spoiled by her parents, and she could empathize with Jiang Ruzhen, who was the darling of her family.

Seeing how kind the Jiang family was to her, she thought of her own gray-haired parents and felt sad.

The reason she wanted to complain was that if Jiang Ruzhen hadn't been so favored, but had been sent down with them back then, she might have become her best friend.

Instead of always feeling like he had betrayed his sister-in-law and sided with Jiang Ruzhen.

After all, it was Bai Hua who encouraged her during their time in the countryside, and together they got through that long period of hardship.

She complained to Jiang Ruzhen about why she wanted to cause a rift between her sister-in-law and brother. She couldn't understand why Jiang Ruzhen, who was the darling of the family, would want to ruin her brother's happy life.

Zhou Qing, unable to sit still with her breath stuck in her chest, lifted her leg and walked outside.

Jiang Zhengxiao and Jiang Zhengyu exchanged a glance, and the two of them followed him out at the same time.

“Zhou Qing, haven’t you been asking me who I borrowed the money from? I’ll tell you today, it was my sister, the sister-in-law Jiang Ruzhen whom you’ve always looked down on, who lent it to us.”

"Huh?" Zhou Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"How is that possible?"

“Why not? She even said she would give me 30,000, but I refused.” Jiang Zhengxiao said seriously.

"Impossible. We had such a bad fight last time, how could she possibly lend me money? Besides, where would she get that money from?" Zhou Qing refused to believe it.

She was just complaining about her, trying her best to convince herself to hate her.

But in the blink of an eye, his face was slapped hard.

Jiang Ruzhen has always been favored, so how could she possibly be willing to lend her money in the face of such provocation and disgust?

“That’s the truth. Besides, you’ve always had something on your mind, sister-in-law. My brother is right here. Take this opportunity to ask him all your questions.”

Zhou Qing looked at Jiang Zhengyu with suspicion and remained silent.

She had a feeling that the answer to her question might overturn her understanding.

But Zhou Qing wasn't a coward. "Big brother, it's really your sister-in-law who's sorry. She...cheated on you with another man?"

Jiang Zhengyu had already forgotten about the incident, but for the sake of family harmony and to prevent his sister from being misunderstood, he readily agreed.

Zhou Qing hadn't expected Bai Hua to actually deceive her. Her lips trembled slightly, and she didn't know how to continue asking the next question.

Jiang Zhengyu took the initiative to speak and gave a brief account of Bai Hua's actions after returning to the city.

Zhou Qing collapsed to the ground with a thud, muttering "impossible" over and over.

Bai Hua had witnessed firsthand how much she cherished her elder brother and that family.

How could he be a completely different person after returning to the city?

However, considering what her elder brother said about Bai Hua's behavior and words, she guessed why Bai Hua had become like that.

Ultimately.

Bai Hua's motives were impure from the very beginning when she married her elder brother.

She was forced to follow her older brother in order to escape her broken family.

Her eldest brother was her only support at that time, the sky above her and her daughter.

Of course, she would trust her older brother wholeheartedly.

But after returning to the city, everything was different.

With the rapid development of cities, there are more and more temptations around us.

Her appetite gradually became dissatisfied with the life of ordinary people, which eventually led her astray.

"What happened to her after the divorce?"

Zhou Qing felt a deep sense of desolation.

"I heard she went to Hong Kong with that lover, and she's probably living the life of a rich wife now," Jiang Zhengyu sighed.

That would be considered a wish fulfilled, Zhou Qing thought.

She stumbled to her feet, grabbing Jiang Zhengxiao's hand. "Honey, we truly love each other, don't we? We won't face those temptations, right?"

Jiang Zhengxiao understood what his wife meant, and he nodded emphatically.

"Yes, we won't."

At this moment, Jiang Ruzhen and her group also finished their conversation and came out.

Zhou Qing stepped forward and bowed deeply to Jiang Ruzhen. "I'm sorry, Ruzhen. I misunderstood you before. I formally apologize to you."

And the money you lent us this time truly saved our whole family's lives; I sincerely thank you.

"Don't worry, within three years, my whole family will sell everything we own to pay you back, with interest. We absolutely will not renege."

Zhou Qing's earnest apology left Jiang Ruzhen speechless.

Her eldest and second brothers smiled at her, and she knew that Zhou Qing's awakening was entirely due to her two older brothers.

Her family didn't want her to suffer even the slightest bit of anger.

She quickly helped the person up; she had never been angry with her second sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law are fundamentally different types of people.

"I'm not angry with you, Second Sister-in-law. And as I said, that money was a New Year's red envelope for Jiang Wen, so you don't need to pay it back."

"No, no, absolutely not. Your money didn't grow on trees, you definitely have to pay it back." Jiang Zhengxiao and Zhou Qing waved their hands repeatedly in refusal.

Jiang Ruzhen's eyes darted around. "How about this, when I open a branch in Beijing, I need someone to help me manage the store's business, check the accounts, and so on."

My second sister-in-law will help me!

I'll triple your salary, plus a 1% commission every month. What do you say?

Jiang Ruzhen thought this idea was fantastic. Her second sister-in-law was a saleswoman in a shopping mall, so she must know a lot about the quality and style of clothes, making it easy for her to get started.

The second son manages all the branches in Northeast China, so he definitely can't take care of the ones in Beijing.

Why not let the local second sister-in-law help her?

It would also allow my second sister-in-law to earn more money and help them pay off their debts sooner, so why not?

"Huh?" There's such a good thing?

Zhou Qing was stunned. She never expected that just after she had eased tensions with Jiang Ruzhen, such a huge windfall would fall into her lap.

Her current salary is 60 yuan a month, and if it triples, it will be 180 yuan.

Even without commission, this salary is still considered top-tier in Beijing, something that ordinary people can only dream of.

Little does she know that once she starts working, salary will be of no importance to her.

Those bundles of commission were what truly shocked her...
