Chapter 39 Eavesdropping

When Jiang Hao heard this, he obediently followed his third brother into the third bedroom.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my third sister-in-law and her little daughter Jiang Jiang sitting on the kang and playing.

"Hey, Linzi, you're back. Why is Laowu here too? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Xiuxiu was very happy to see her husband come back, and she was even happier when she saw Jiang Lin carrying a large cloth bag.

Just when he was about to ask Jiang Lin what he bought, he saw Lao Wu coming in from behind and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, I bought some things for my younger brother and asked him to come over and get them." Jiang Lin said very naturally.

Zhao Xiuxiu was not happy to hear this, but she didn't do anything in front of Jiang Hao.

Jiang Lin put the bag in his hand on the table and opened it. Zhao Xiuxiu saw three bags of food, a piece of cloth, fifteen bananas, and even a quilted leather vest.

Jiang Lin handed the vest to Jiang Hao. "Whenever you have nothing to do, you can ride your bike to the commune, even in winter. This is specially bought for you. It is windproof and can protect your chest and back, so you won't be cold in the winter."

Jiang Hao took the vest and looked at it. It was a bit big. Alas, it was about right for him at 1.88 meters tall, but it would be too big for Shi Luo. Forget it, he would keep it for himself and buy a suitable one for Shi Luo when he had the chance in the future.

"Thank you, Third Brother. I want two more bananas," Jiang Hao said bluntly. Bananas are really rare here. He would eat one himself and give one to the young educated youth.

Jiang Lin broke off three sticks and handed them to Jiang Hao. "Take it and eat it. Now you can go back. I need to take a shower and rest for a while."

Jiang Hao took the things and left. When he turned around, he saw his third sister-in-law looking at him with a dark face and gnashing teeth.

Jiang Hao was a little unhappy. Why is it that you are allowed to buy food for your younger brother, but my brother is not allowed to buy things for me?

Jiang Hao rolled his eyes at Zhao Xiuxiu and put on his clothes before leaving the third room.

Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Hao's childish actions and curled the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Hao heard his third sister-in-law's roar after he walked out of the house. Jiang Hao did not go back to the house, but squatted in the corner to listen to the situation.

"Why are you buying things for Lao Wu again? He has more clothes than I do.

If you had the money, couldn't you buy one for our son or my brother? You actually gave him bananas. There are only two bananas in total. We can give one to each of the family members. Wouldn't it be better to send the extra ones to my parents' house to try? It would also make me proud. What's the point of giving them to your brother?

Jiang Lin looked at Zhao Xiuxiu as if she was an idiot and said, "I think you have enough clothes. As for the children, I bought a piece of cloth. When the time comes, you can make one for each of our children.

This piece of cloth should be enough. If it's not enough, don't make Jiang Jiang's clothes yet. Children grow up quickly, so it's okay to wear his old clothes first. Anyway, the clothes left over from his brother's childhood are all good.

Besides, who gave you the illusion that I would ignore my own brother and take care of your brother from your mother's side?

You should know that a married woman is like spilled water. I gave you fifty yuan as a betrothal gift.

As for your family, they didn't give you any dowry. You married me with nothing but patched clothes, so you should stop thinking about your family.

As for the bananas, I buy them for my brother to eat. If your family wants to eat some, you can ask your parents' son to buy them for them."

Zhao Xiuxiu was almost furious. "My brother and I are just working in the fields to earn work points. How can we buy such expensive things?

Jiang Lin, you are my parents' son-in-law, can't you be filial to them?"

"Okay, my mother prepared gifts for you to take home during the holidays, and you gave her one too. And today you also used the money I gave you to buy a can of food for your family, so that's all considered my filial piety."

Jiang Lin put the food and cloth in the cupboard, peeled a banana, broke off a small piece and handed it to his daughter. He held his daughter to his side, then lay down and watched his daughter chew the banana slowly, then continued indifferently.

"I don't want to care how much you buy for your family with your pocket money, but you can't treat my children unfairly, especially my daughter. Our family is different from yours. In our family, daughters and sons are equally important.

So next time, if you let me know that you scolded my daughter for being greedy because others didn't give her food, don't blame me for getting angry with you.

Oh, by the way, unless I agree, if you dare to send the things I bought and the things at home back to your parents’ home, then don’t blame me for sending you back to your parents’ home too.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuxiu turned pale and didn't say another word.

In fact, Zhao Xiuxiu didn't dare to send the things back to her parents' home without permission, because she knew that Jiang Lin had no patience or affection for her.

If I really secretly sent the things at home back to my parents' home, Jiang Lin would really divorce me.

Because Jiang Lin often goes out driving his car and is not at home, he gives Zhao Xiuxiu five yuan pocket money every month. You should know that this amount of money is already a lot of money in the countryside.

So Zhao Xiuxiu has been using this money to subsidize her parents' home. Zhao Xiuxiu knows that since Jiang Lin gave her this pocket money, it is hers, and Jiang Lin will not care how she uses the money.

Jiang Lin didn't want to marry Zhao Xiuxiu at first, but if he didn't, he might lose his job and go to jail, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and marry her.

Jiang Lin and Zhao Xiuxiu met in the mountains. It was one summer. Jiang Lin went to the mountains to collect firewood during his break and met Zhao Xiuxiu in the mountains.

Zhao Xiuxiu sprained her ankle and was bitten by a snake in the mountains. There was no one around at the time, and Jiang Lin couldn't just stand by and watch her die, so he had to quickly carry her to the village clinic.

The clinic was at the entrance of the village. The road from the mountain to the clinic basically ran through the entire brigade, so everyone in the brigade saw Jiang Lin carrying Zhao Xiuxiu.

Zhao Xiuxiu's parents and brothers kept this matter to themselves and told everyone that people wore less in the summer, and that Jiang Lin had physical contact with Zhao Xiuxiu by carrying her on his back, and that he had taken advantage of her.

Zhao Xiuxiu has lost all her innocence now. If Jiang Lin doesn't pay a betrothal gift of 50 yuan to marry Zhao Xiuxiu, he will be a hooligan. Then Zhao Xiuxiu will report it and commit suicide in front of the police station.

Jiang Lin found Zhao Xiuxiu and wanted her to explain to the people in the brigade, but Zhao Xiuxiu cried and said that her reputation was ruined and begged Jiang Lin to marry her.
