Chapter 122 Aunt Jiangnan is here

Tian Xiaotian walked around the political commissar and looked at Jiangnan with pity: "Xiaonan, auntie was a little too harsh on you in the past, but auntie has realized her mistakes. Auntie is not a bad person. Our Lao Zhao and your father are good friends. In the future, as long as auntie has a bite to eat, you will definitely not starve."

Jiangnan squeezed Shen Tang’s hand.

He didn't want to live with his grandparents or stepmother, nor did he want to live with Aunt Tian.

Although he didn't understand the big picture, his intuition told him that Aunt Tian didn't really want to adopt him.

Chen Tang patted Jiangnan's shoulder and said to Tian Xiaotian, "Sister-in-law, don't join in the fun. You have so many children in your family that even Jiangnan's place has to have a bed in the living room. How can you take care of them all?"

Tian Xiaotian sneered: "I am joining in the fun? Chen Tang, you are the one who is joining in the fun. Jiang Su is from our second group, and has nothing to do with the people in your group. You and Jiang Nan have a good relationship on weekdays, but raising a child is not something that can be done by having a good relationship. It also depends on the affection between the parents.

We, Old Zhao, and Jiang Su have a good relationship. If you leave the child to us, we can at least raise him. If you leave it to you, can you raise him without any grudges just by relying on your good impression of him?"

The political commissar of the Second Regiment frowned, and subtly cut off the possibility of Chen Tang adopting the child: "Okay, don't say anything, the child must be raised in our Second Regiment. As for who the child will be with, it must be based on Jiangnan's wishes."

Tian Xiaotian's words were sharp, but she was right about one thing. Jiangnan's father was from their Second Regiment, and he sacrificed his life to save others. It was impossible that the Second Regiment could not find a family that would treat the child well, and asked people from the First Regiment to adopt him.

The captain of the second regiment has only one child in his family. If no one adopts the child, he will persuade the captain of the second regiment.

At the very least, he could adopt a child himself. His family wasn't short of food. For example, Political Commissar Fang's family had adopted two children. He couldn't just send them away.

He did not agree with Shen Tang adopting someone.

He Xu talked about this with Chen Tang yesterday, and Chen Tang understood it, so she didn't mention the adoption of Jiangnan. Now that she saw that the political commissar of the Second Regiment had made up his mind, Chen Tang stopped talking.

Tian Xiaotian wanted to say something, but old lady Jiang, who was about to lose the money she had received, spat at her.

"Bah, I'm not dead yet, why should I let you adopt my grandson? You can't even give birth to a boy, yet you're still thinking about my grandson, do you have any shame?"

It was the first time that Tian Xiaotian encountered such an unreasonable country old lady. Her face turned pale and blue: "You still have the nerve to say that you are Jiangnan's grandparents. Jiang Su must have sinned in his previous life to have you as parents. You don't love your own son, and you don't love your grandson either. People who don't know would think that Jiang Su is not your son, and Jiangnan is not your grandson!"

The two old men looked a little unnatural, but old man Jiang quickly reacted: "The palms and backs of our hands are all made of flesh, how could we not love our sons? It's just that we have too many sons and grandchildren, and we can't love them all.

Jiangnan is my grandson anyway, we are willing to raise him, and none of you are allowed to adopt him!"

The political commissar of the Second Regiment watched them quarreling, then looked at the time, picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea, with no intention of interrupting them at all.

Chen Tang also checked the time. It was now half past eight in the morning, and people should be able to register at the entrance of the army.

Xiao Jiang was very observant and noticed that both Shen Tang and the political commissar were looking at their watches, but he remained silent for a while.

Tian Xiaotian and the other party quarreled so fiercely that even Jiangnan's stepmother backed away.

Finally, a soldier knocked on the office door: "Political Commissar, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen and a comrade who claims to be Jiangnan's aunt are here."

The political commissar of the Second Regiment immediately put down the cup of water: "Let them in."

Chen Tang lowered his head and asked Jiang Nan: "Are you on good terms with your aunt?"

Jiangnan shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen my aunt."

Deputy Battalion Commander Chen is the comrade rescued by Jiang Su. He has ordinary facial features, but is quite tall and has very dark skin. He looks to be less than 30 years old.

My aunt from Jiangnan is not tall, about 1.6 meters. The clothes she wears are patched. Her hands are very weathered, with calluses on them, like someone in her thirties or forties who is used to doing farm work. She has a pretty face and a somewhat cold look in her eyes, and looks like she is no more than twenty-five years old.

Her eyes fell on Jiangnan, and then glanced at Chen Tang, her expression was indifferent, neither excited nor happy.

"Leader, I want to adopt Jiangnan."

Chen Yi walked forward and ignored Tian Xiaotian and Old Lady Jiang who were arguing fiercely.

Jiang Su died to save him. The only thing he couldn't let go of before his death was his two sons. He had already inquired about the Jiang family's situation before he came. Jiang Su's youngest son had a good relationship with his mother, so he shouldn't need to adopt him. The only thing left was Jiang Nan, who had never been liked by the Jiang family. He would never let the custody of Jiang Nan fall into the hands of the Jiang family.

"Wait, you want to adopt Jiangnan?" Su Xiaoxiao behind him suddenly asked.

Chen Yi looked back at her and said, "Jiang Su sacrificed himself to save me. I will help raise his son, not just Jiang Nan. If Comrade Li is unwilling to raise Jiang Su's youngest son, I am also willing to help."

Jiangnan's stepmother's surname was Li and her name was Yaomei. When she heard Chen Yi's words, she immediately glared at him and said, "My son is not that unwanted bastard. I will raise him myself."

Her family members wanted her to leave her son to the Jiang family so that she could remarry.

But she is vicious, not stupid. She has a son and several brothers at home to help her. She can live a good life with the pension left by Jiang Su and the monthly pension from her children. Where can she marry again?

She is not happy about working like a slave for an old bachelor.

It would have been fine if she gave birth to a girl, but she gave birth to a son, who could be taken care of in her old age. Why should she leave him to the Jiang family?

Anyway, her son has her mother to help take care of him, and she is lazy at work, hooking up with an educated youth to kill time. Can she have such a good life if she gets married again?

I think she married Jiang Su, whose wife had just died, because she didn't want to go to work.

Isn't it just to live a carefree life with his little salary?

Chen Yi frowned when he heard her rude words, but when he thought that she was Jiang Su's wife, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Chen Tang was not as good-tempered as him, he sneered and looked at Old Lady Jiang: “Old lady, the bastard is talking about you.”

The old lady glared at him and said, "You bastard, you were talking about Jiangnan!"

Chen Tang smiled and said, “There are little aunts in Jiangnan, and there are aunts like us, and everyone is vying to raise them. They are not bastards, but golden bowls.

Everyone present is a human being. Only a bastard who is not a human being would ask for money from a child. Your daughter-in-law not only scolded herself, but also scolded you."

The tone of her voice was soft and gentle, with a wave at the end of the word, as if she was not being sarcastic but joking with her, which made the old lady very angry.

Jiangnan's stepmother glared at Chen Tang. Chen Tang was wearing a white shirt and military pants. Her black hair was tied into two fluffy braids, revealing a pair of light brown eyes. She was beautiful and generous, and her skin was as white as jade. Ever since she brought Jiangnan into the office, she had been glancing at Chen Tang unconsciously, feeling envious and jealous.

If she were so beautiful, why would she become Jiangnan's stepmother!
