Chapter 39 Sinful Parents, Suffering Children
Jiang Yurou was so angry at this person's shameless words that she almost laughed.
Three yuan? Three yuan isn't much, but I've never seen you give her three yuan before!
"No, I have no money, but you can take my life. If you want money, why don't you ask your parents? Do you think it's appropriate to ask me?"
"You're my wife, what's wrong with me asking you for money?"
Chen Wenli didn't take it seriously. His mother had said that his wife had impure thoughts and that he should try to get the money out of her pocket as soon as possible.
Her parents-in-law treated her like their darling, and they must have left her a lot of money when they left.
“I…” Jiang Yurou didn’t know what to say. The Chen Wenli she met in her previous life was not like this. He looked gentle, considerate, and very gentlemanly.
He used to give Jiang Xixi a lot of money to spend, so why is it completely different when it comes to her?
Jiang Yurou was very puzzled.
"Hurry up and give me the money. My parents-in-law have sent another letter. If you don't give me the money, don't even think about getting the letter to you."
Thinking that the gentle Xia Zhiqing was still waiting for him at the village entrance, he couldn't let her wait any longer in this cold weather.
"you……"
Jiang Yurou was trembling with anger, but dared not refute him.
This life was worse than her previous one, and for the first time, she began to doubt her choice back then.
But thinking about the wealthy life she would have in the future, she finally swallowed her anger.
"You only have one dollar, so be careful with it. Also, give me a letter from my parents."
Jiang Yurou took out a handful of small bills from her pocket and reluctantly took one out.
"Okay, okay, enough with the nonsense." Chen Wenli snatched the money from her hand, muttering, "So stingy!"
After saying that, he ran out without looking back.
All that remained was Jiang Yurou, standing there in a state of helpless rage.
After calming down for a while, she opened the letter sent by Jiang's parents.
But after opening the letter, her already less-than-pleasant mood became even more irritable.
"Take care of your son? Have you ever thought about me? I'm married, what am I supposed to do with a younger brother? I don't have a single penny, and you expect me to take care of him? We'll starve together!"
Jiang Yurou cursed under her breath.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that Jiang Yuhao has more than one sister, Jiang Xixi is also his sister.
She also had to take on the responsibility of caring for her younger brother!
Jiang Yurou thought about it more and more and felt that this was a good idea. In this way, not only would Jiang Yuhao have a reason to explain to his parents, but it would also disgust Jiang Xixi.
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. In the short time she was thinking, her eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and she couldn't wait to go find Jiang Xixi right now.
...
"Xia Zhiqing, you've been waiting long, haven't you? It's all my fault. Let's go now!"
If Jiang Yurou were here, she would definitely be furious. She was all too familiar with Chen Wenli's appearance.
She was like this when we were dating before we got married.
Xia Wanli, the educated youth, spoke in a very gentle tone, showing great understanding.
"It's okay, I haven't been here long either."
Actually, she had already rolled her eyes inwardly. The agreed time was 10 a.m., and it was almost noon. She had been waiting here in the cold wind for almost two hours, and now her hands and feet were numb from the cold.
But remembering her purpose, Xia Wanli forced a smile.
It's not easy to find a sucker; the men in the educated youth settlements are all incredibly shrewd.
As they walked, Chen Wenli's hands never stopped, constantly brushing against Xia Wanli's wrist, and then he would feign an apology after each touch.
After doing this several times, Xia Wanli couldn't resist any longer and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
Things I used to feel embarrassed to say, I now feel much more justified in saying.
After all, you've taken advantage of me, so I have to get my revenge, right?
“Brother Wenli, I saw a silk scarf in the city last time. It was so beautiful, but I was too short of money. Otherwise, I would definitely have bought it.”
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Wenli with a meaningful look.
Unexpectedly, even after she had been speaking for a while, Chen Wenli did not react at all.
Instead of saying he would buy it for her, he kept making excuses and looking uneasy.
After a few times, even Xia Wanli, who was usually oblivious, realized that this thing had no money at all.
She refused to believe that he truly couldn't understand what she meant!
As a result, Xia Wanli stopped pursuing him. When Chen Wenli accidentally touched her hand, she slapped him down.
"Oh dear, Brother Wenli, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was your hand. I thought it was some annoying fly, otherwise why would it be so bothersome?"
Xia Wanli's words are interesting. Is it the flies that are annoying, or is it someone else who is annoying? Who can say for sure?
Sure enough, you can't do anything without money.
It's important to know that the two of them weren't in this situation in their previous life.
With Jiang Xixi providing financial support and acting as Chen Wenli's ATM, and the two being both wealthy and interested, their relationship was incredibly close.
I thought they were so in love, but sure enough, love without money is just a pile of loose sand.
...
Nancheng, the hometown of Zhu Cuiyu, the mother of Jiang.
"Xiaoyu, come and eat! You silly child, it's mealtime, what are you running around for?"
Grandma Zhu saw that it was mealtime and her grandson hadn't returned yet. The group of starving people next to her had almost finished eating, so she grumbled and hurried out to look for him.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw my little grandson sitting alone on the stone bench next to the gate, just sitting there blankly.
"Xiaoyu, Grandma is calling you for dinner, hurry up."
"Grandma, I want to go to school..." Grandma Zhu was stunned for a moment, her lips trembled a few times, and she really didn't know how to answer.
"Xiaoyu, we have to accept our fate. Don't blame your uncle and the others; they've all had a hard time."
The accident that happened to your mother has already affected them. When she passed away, she didn't leave you any money for living expenses. The fact that they're still supporting you is already a testament to their kindness. We should all have a conscience and not be like your parents.
"Sigh, Xiaoyu, let's go eat first. Don't talk about school in front of your aunt; it's not good."
Grandma Zhu was kind her whole life. Although her children didn't amount to much, they were all honest and hardworking people.
Among them, Jiang Mu was an exception, which Grandma Zhu really couldn't understand.
Thinking of what her third daughter had done back then, Grandma Zhu sighed. What a terrible thing she had done!
The sins committed by parents have been punished on their children. It's truly...sigh!
Jiang Yuhao wanted to say something, but seeing his grandmother's disapproving look, he didn't say anything in the end.
The experiences of this period have made this once pampered young boy grow up a lot.
"Okay, Grandma, I understand."
Seeing her grandson's noticeably gloomy expression lately, Grandma Zhu couldn't help but sigh again.
"well!"
Jiang Yuhao came to the dining table and looked at the leftover food. His heart was filled with bitterness and grievance.
"Grandma, I saw my aunt make steamed egg custard for my cousin today. I want to eat it too. I haven't had it for a long time."
Grandma Zhu wanted to refuse, but looking at that innocent face, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Just make do with this for now. Grandma will figure out how to make something for you tomorrow. Don't tell anyone, especially not your aunt."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma. I won't go to school anymore. I won't make things difficult for you and Uncle."
Aunt Zhu, who was eavesdropping through the crack in the door of the next room, snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Zhu Chengqi, what are you listening to your mother? Did I not give him any food or drink? I think I've done enough as his aunt."
Why don't you look at what his mother has been doing? When they were enjoying the good life, you, the older brother, weren't the one who benefited, but now that they're suffering, you're the one who gets dragged down with them.
With a mother like that, how good do you expect me to be to him? Does he really think I'm a saint?
