Chapter 233 Going to the Beach

Jiang Haibing made clear arrangements for Jiang Yanni, and fearing she might quit halfway through, he even went to Jiang Jiani to explain the situation:

"Don't pay attention to her no matter how much she cries."

"That brat, if we don't teach her a lesson, she'll think the family's money grows on trees and that our mother is living a life of luxury."

What really infuriated this guy was Jiang Yanni's relationship.

This subconsciously reminded him of what Jiang Jiani had experienced when she was in junior high school.

Especially that girl who bullied Jiang Jiani.

Jiang Haibing continued to follow up on the girl for a while afterward.

It turned out that the girl was living a miserable life, tsk tsk tsk.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

She was still shaken, thinking how lucky her daughter, Jianni, was focused on her studies and had no interest in dating. Otherwise, wouldn't that girl's fate be the same as Jiang Jianni's?

Jiang Yanni is now dating at an age when she should be studying, and this guy has suddenly become famous.

He didn't care whether Jiang Yanni had actually talked to someone or not; he just wanted to keep her busy so she wouldn't have time to think about these messy things.

Jiang Yanni: "..."

She didn't know what to say, so she could only say, "Don't worry, don't worry, even if she bangs on my door and clings to my leg crying, I promise I won't soften my heart."

"Really, I swear."

Whether or not you're in a relationship is a minor matter.

In any case, compared to her teenage sister who started bragging about how many boyfriends she'd dated and how many men and women she'd slept with in high school, most students at that time were still relatively innocent when it came to dating.

Jiang Jianni felt that Jiang Yanni was just dating, at most at the stage of holding hands.

To be even more innocent, they might not even hold hands, but feel sweet just looking at each other.

However, it's unacceptable to think that Yang Yuemei is enjoying a life of leisure by staying at home taking care of the children and the household.

She couldn't even imagine how Jiang Yanni could have come up with the idea that doing housework at home was a blessing, in a family that valued knowledge, education, and work, and where even girls would grit their teeth and support their education.

Even Yang Yuemei, a middle-aged woman who has been a housewife all her life, has realized that she wants to leave the family and start her own business. How could a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl have such a terrible idea?

Jiang Haibing's methods were simple, brutal, and tyrannical, but Jiang Jianni sided with him this time.

To avoid Jiang Yanni, Jiang Jianni made an excuse that the neighborhood was too hot because there weren't many trees, and said she wanted to move back to the retirement home to live with the Lu family's elderly couple, so she could cool off a bit.

Lu's mother waved her hand dismissively: "Don't you still have many days before school starts?"

"Alright, let's go find your second brother."

“I called him a few days ago. They’re not busy these days, just doing regular training.”

"Haiqiang hasn't seen his parents for almost a year. Shouldn't they at least know what their child looks like now?"

"Otherwise, what if Haiqiang can run and jump, and his biological parents don't even recognize him? Wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"

"Jiani, you've never been to the beach, have you? Let me tell you, the island is so much fun."

"Putting everything else aside, the food here is really different from what we eat here."

"Seafood is not easy to find here, or it's incredibly expensive, but it's practically worthless over there."

"Just like the radishes and cabbages here, you can buy a whole bunch from the fishermen for just a few dollars."

Jiang Jianni was both surprised and delighted: "We're all going? What about the baby?"

"With four children, it's not easy for just the three of us to take care of them."

Although Lu Xiangyang's job includes holidays, it doesn't include summer vacation, so it's clear he can't go.

So the only ones who could go were Lu's parents, Jiang Jiani, and the four children.

Although the four children are not yet running around, it is still quite dangerous for three people to look after four children, especially with two elderly people also involved, in today's rather chaotic world.

Aunt Lu: "It's alright, let your Aunt Liu come with us."

Aunt Liu was both surprised and delighted: "Me... I'll go too?"

Aunt Lu said, "Of course you should come too. You're the best cook in our family."

"If you don't come, what will our family do for dinner? We can't eat raw meat, can we?"

Jiang Jianni laughed too: "That's right, Aunt Liu, if you don't go, we won't have anything to eat."

That's obviously an exaggeration.

Aunt Liu's cooking is good, but only better than the average person's cooking; it's not the best cooking in the world.

Putting aside other things, Jiang Jianni makes some dishes much better than Aunt Liu.

Moreover, seafood tastes great even when simply boiled.

After all, there is no serious discharge of domestic sewage or industrial wastewater, and nuclear wastewater is something we have never even heard of.

The seafood available now is genuine seafood, without any adulteration or contaminants.

Lu's father still remembers the trip to the island last year and is very willing to go there again.

So, after a brief discussion, the Lu family boarded a train heading south.

Lu Xiangyang, left behind with a sense of resentment, became a husband and father who stayed behind.

The day after they left, Lu Xiangyang received a phone call in the evening from Shao Shufen.

When Shao Shufen heard that Jiang Jianni had gone on a trip south, she immediately became envious: "Hey. Why didn't Jiang tell you she was going out to have fun?"

"If she says so, I can go with her."

Lu Xiangyang did not respond.

Jiang Jiani and her group didn't go to that big island in the south.

They went to a small island further south, a purely military base.

Ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to land on the island unless they have family members on it.

Shao Shufen didn't know this, but she didn't tell Lu Xiangyang much about it.

But after hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but feel envious of Jiang Jiani.

She found Jiang Jiani to be even more dashing than she had imagined.

The island to the south.

Despite having traveled extensively and visited many places, she actually did very little tourism or leisure. Most of her time was spent on business, and during the few moments of free time she had, she was so tired that she just wanted to lie down and sleep in the hotel.

I'm not in the mood for traveling at all.

Thinking about the recent troubles in her family, Shao Shufen thought, why don't I take my child on a trip to relax?

Anyway, Crystal Palace is on the right track, so she won't be a problem if she's not around for a while. If anything happens, she can always contact them by cell phone.

The mobile phone she bought for the person in charge wasn't just for show.

She's also a woman of action.

They said they would take the kids out to play, and they actually did.

And they went to the same island.

"You might run into Aunt Jiang."

"Your Aunt Jiang is so interesting, let me tell you..."
