When Jiang Xile got home after dinner, it was already past eight o'clock. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang Yanshu sitting in the living room.

"Dad, why aren't you resting yet? Are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Yanshu nodded, then pointed to the sofa beside him and said:

"Sit down, let's have a chat, just the two of us!"

Seeing Jiang Yanshu's serious expression, Jiang Xile was a little confused, but she still obediently sat down.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so serious?"

This was the first time Jiang Xile had seen Jiang Yanshu like this. Could it be that the matter was related to her?

Am I serious?

Jiang Yanshu was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return.

"If this isn't serious, then what is? Look at how furrowed your brow. What's troubling you like this? Could it be something to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanshu sighed, and then slowly said:

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, but it mainly involves your maternal grandfather's side."

"Grandpa? What happened to them? What's wrong?"

Since her two uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​returned to the city, Jiang Xile has rarely visited the Deng family.

Especially after she started working, she would only visit the elderly during major holidays.

It's not that she's putting on airs, it's just that when there are more people, there's more gossip and trouble.

My uncle and aunt are alright, but my cousins ​​have somehow developed some bad tempers over the years in the countryside.

In particular, since the Deng family's demotion was somewhat related to Jiang Wanmin, they shifted their grievances onto Jiang Xile.

Although they were very friendly to her on the surface, they were full of hatred and jealousy in their hearts. They could not hide their malice no matter how hard they tried.

These are all the original owner's blood relatives. Jiang Xile doesn't want to do anything to them. As long as these people don't take any actual action, she will pretend she doesn't know anything.

Judging from Dad's condition today, those people must have done something strange.

"Don't worry, it's still under control. I just wanted to let you know in advance so you can be mentally prepared and not be caught off guard."

"Is it Deng Jingming or Deng Jingyang? Or perhaps their wives?"

Jiang Yanshu was somewhat surprised and looked up at Jiang Xile.

How did you know?

Looking at her father's expression, Jiang Xile felt somewhat helpless.

"Dad, I'm your daughter, I'm not stupid. The moment I met my two cousins ​​and their wives, I knew they were no pushovers!"

Jiang Yanshu smiled.

"My daughter has such good eyesight!"

"Look at you! Tell me quickly, what kind of trouble have they gotten themselves into!"

"Your eldest uncle and your youngest uncle came to me for help before. Although I helped them get their household registrations, you know how hard it is to find a job in Beijing."

They'd been searching for a while without any luck, so they came to me. Since I'm your uncle, I introduced them to two available positions.

Unexpectedly, they immediately gave the job to Deng Jingming and Deng Jingyang. I didn't say anything about it; it was their own family matter anyway.

I just didn't expect Deng Jingming and Deng Jingyang to come looking for me again today with their two wives.

"What do they want from you again? Do they want you to help them find a job?"

"You're absolutely right. Not only did you ask me to help you find a job, but you also asked me to help arrange for dozens of people from your two cousins' families to come to Beijing!"

"What the heck?"

Jiang Xile got a little angry when she heard this.

"It's not that you didn't agree, Dad, but they're so shameless! What right do they have? Who do they think they are?!"

Do they think the capital is their own backyard? They can just send whoever they want! Don't they think before they speak and act?

Do my uncle and grandfather know about this? My grandfather shouldn't agree to help with this!

"Don't be angry. Dad didn't agree either, but I was thinking of telling you so they could come and talk to you about it..."

"What are you trying to talk to me about? Don't they know what's going on with them? They still have the nerve to come to me!"

Jiang Yanshu frowned.

"What did they do? It sounds like you and your cousins ​​aren't getting along."

"What's so great about it? I knew from the first meeting that my relationship with them was just a formality."

"What are you saying? When the Deng family came back, weren't you quite happy? You even went to see them."

"Yes, I was quite happy to go there, but people weren't happy to see me! Jiang Wanmin was also involved in the Deng family's exile."

At first, my cousins ​​might not have known, but so many years have passed and they've all grown up, so they can naturally find out some information from my uncle and aunt.

The day they arrived in the capital, I discovered that they harbored resentment towards me, even after you helped them clear their name.

They harbored some resentment towards me, but at the time I thought I would let it go for my mother's sake.

Since we can't get along, we should just see each other less often. We're all adults anyway; we can live our lives without each other.

Jiang Yanshu was somewhat annoyed. He had been careless and his daughter had been wronged. It was a shame that those people had come to him for help and used his daughter as a pawn.

"How could they blame you? How old were you back then? What does it have to do with you? Why didn't you tell me about this?"

I thought you got along well with them, which is why I took care of them.

"Knowing you're our only child, if I'm not around anymore, your cousins ​​can at least help you out!"
