Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 192: Uncle and Second Uncle
"Brother, Jiaojiao is still in school, how could she possibly be in a relationship?" Chen Guilan was displeased when she heard this, and said with a sullen face, "I know you look down on me and you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't make groundless accusations against my child."
She is a divorced woman, and this is how her life will be.
But Su Jiaojiao's life has just begun, and she will never allow anyone to criticize her daughter.
"The news has spread all over the school. How have I wronged her?" Chen Guichang had never seen Chen Guilan treat him like this before. He said with a stern face, "I'm telling you this because we're family. If you don't believe me, go ask around at school."
He knew that she was as stubborn as Chen Guisheng.
Always take his kindness for granted.
"Brother, have you gone to the school to inquire?" Chen Guilan asked him back.
"Sister, your brother means well, don't be upset. You're just a little girl, and if you get cheated, it'll be a serious matter." Wang Yunying straightened her newly permed hair and stepped forward to help. "Xiaomei said she's so young, but she's already running around doing business. You shouldn't be more careful about these things!"
Girls aged eighteen or nineteen have already started to hang out in society.
Is it so easy to break into society?
What does she rely on? It’s men!
"Brother and sister-in-law, Director Qin's son transferred to the capital two winters ago and didn't even come home for the New Year. He and Jiaojiao are just schoolmates, the kind who greet each other when they meet. How did it become a relationship?" Chen Guilan knew who had said that and couldn't help but explain. "As for running business, that's Jiaojiao's part-time job. I know that, you don't need to tell me."
She knew that Qin Xiuming and Su Jiaojiao had a relationship.
But it didn't get to the point of falling in love.
I wonder how they know Qin Xiuming?
"Guilan, all three of us have daughters. We understand and sympathize with your situation, but no matter how difficult your situation is, you can't let your daughter go out and work in the spotlight." Wang Yunying, unafraid of offending Chen Guilan, argued confidently, "If you ask me, you shouldn't let Jiaojiao go to school. Wouldn't it be better for her to come down and find a factory job earlier?"
What should rural girls go to school for?
Can I still get into university and work in a government agency?
"Sister-in-law, whether my daughter goes to school or not is none of your business." Chen Guilan grew angrier as she listened. "Her tuition was earned by the two of us, and you didn't contribute a cent. What gives you the right to point fingers here?"
After saying that, she turned and left.
At worst, we can meet again later without saying hello.
It's like turning against each other!
Chen Guichang and Wang Yunying looked at each other.
After being in the city for just a few days, have you become so independent?
Is it so glorious to make money by relying on your daughter?
When Chen Guisheng learned that Chen Guilan had moved into the new house, he called Chen Guilan on the afternoon of the 3rd and said that they would come over to heat the kang the next day.
"Burning the kang" is a term used by the villagers to mean congratulations on moving into a new house.
Chen Guilan was very happy. She went to the market to buy ingredients that day, used the refrigerator for the first time, and prepared at home for most of the night.
Early the next morning, Chen Guisheng and his family arrived.
Chen Guisheng and Chen Juan carried the panels, meat, fish, and tofu, and Xu Yue'e held Xiao Suisui in her arms, and they happily came to visit.
"My aunt's house is so beautiful." Chen Juan looked here and there. It seemed that Su Jiaojiao had really made money in the city. Such a big house was decorated so well.
I also bought a refrigerator, washing machine and TV.
"Guilan, how much does this cost?" Chen Guisheng was also surprised.
"More than 80,000..." Chen Guilan didn't want to say the price. She didn't want to show off in front of her second brother, especially since she didn't have much money left.
"Houses in the city are expensive." Chen Guisheng nodded and said nothing more.
Xiao Suisui is over nine months old and crawls around on the sofa. Xu Yue'e stands by to protect her and says to Chen Guilan with a smile, "This house is great, suitable for taking care of the child. You don't have to worry about her running away."
"You guys stay here today and have some fun." Chen Guilan was busy in the kitchen while Chen Juan was helping to pick vegetables. She whispered, "You can't stay here. You have something to do in two days."
"What's the matter?" Chen Guilan asked Chen Guisheng who was standing at the kitchen door.
"My eldest brother wants to move our father and mother's graves." Chen Guisheng said with a dark face, "He said he has his eyes on a piece of land with good feng shui."
"A Feng Shui treasured place?" Chen Guilan was very surprised. "Where is he going to move to?"
"I heard it's on a hill outside Jiao County, but I don't know the exact location." Chen Guisheng pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, about to smoke one, but then put it back in. "Brother is always like this, doing things differently from others."
"If you ask me, I don't agree with moving the grave either." Chen Guilan also found it incredible. "Let's not talk about the fact that if he moves the grave, our mother will be left alone. Even our father and eldest brother's mother certainly don't want to settle down in an unfamiliar place. What is eldest brother thinking?"
The cemeteries in the village are all at the west end of the village.
The graves of generations of ancestors are all there, and I have never heard of anyone moving the graves away.
"I don't agree either." Chen Guisheng turned his head and saw a figure outside who looked very much like Chen Jiang. He quickly walked to the window and looked out. "Did my eldest brother move in too?"
"I ran into them at the door the day before yesterday." Chen Guilan also glanced out the window. "They've been renovating here for the past two days. I wonder if they're here today."
"I'll go look for him later." Chen Guisheng was very worried about Chen Guichang. "Don't let him do something and we won't know."
"Okay." Chen Guilan didn't stop him. "Call my brother over here and let's talk about this together."
After dinner, Chen Guisheng asked around and went to find Chen Guichang.
Chen Guichang's home was on the fifth floor, at the very front of the complex. It had just been renovated, and the family was happily cleaning. Seeing Chen Guisheng approach, Chen Guichang threw down his broom and invited him to sit down. "Have you eaten yet? Why are you here?"
"Second uncle is here." Chen Ju and Chen Jiang came forward to greet him.
Wang Yunying was wiping the glass with a rag, not even looking at him.
She still remembers the last time Chen Guisheng beat Chen Guichang!
"I had dinner at Guilan's house." Chen Guisheng didn't care about his sister-in-law's attitude. He sat down on the sofa and looked around. "Your building is quite tall."
Chen Guichang's house was decorated in a rather high-end style, with a suspended ceiling and patterned wallpaper covering the walls. Even the lamp in the living room looked magnificent, with many beads hanging from it, swaying back and forth.
In comparison, Chen Guilan's home is much simpler.
The lights in her house are all round and pancake-shaped, without too many decorations.
"High-rise buildings are where you live." Chen Guichang smiled. "Guilan's is on the first floor, it's too low."
"All good." Chen Guisheng smiled and got back to the point. "If you're done with your work, come with me to Guilan's place. Yue'e and the others are all here!"
"Okay, I'll just go over and take a look." Chen Guichang only knew that Chen Guilan had moved in, but he hadn't gone over to see her yet.
Wang Yunying also threw away the rag: "I'll go with you."
She wanted to see how Chen Guilan's house was decorated.
No need to guess, it’s definitely not as good as his.
