Chapter 163 Don’t be too high-profile



Xiang Weiguo's expression also changed: "Dad, did you hear something outside?"

"You don't need to listen. Use your brains and think about it. Xiao Jiang and his wife can make so much money just by doing nothing. Do those poor people feel good about it?" Xiang Laogen put down his chopsticks, took the pipe from the cupboard next to him, and started smoking again.

The youngest son Xiang Shuzhi understood what he meant the fastest: "I understand that you hate people who have and laugh at people who don't. My sister and brother-in-law are getting more and more prosperous, so it's inevitable that some people will be jealous behind their backs. Who knows how many people are guessing how much money my sister can make. At this time, we really can't be too ostentatious, or it's easy to get into trouble."

"Our daughter earned the money with her own ability, so what if she spends it ostentatiously?"

Wang Chunhua muttered unconvinced.

But even so, she began to worry: "I'll go find her after dinner and have a chat with her. She can't get carried away."

"You can go talk to her. Xiao Jiang might be worried about this, so she's using another excuse." Xiang Laogen put his pipe aside and sighed. "Actually, Xiao Jiang has thought it through very comprehensively. It's better to prepare now than to have something go wrong later."

Wang Chunhua also nodded: "After listening to you, it seems that we should pay attention to it, but I think it should be no big deal. The young couple usually pays attention to it, and they are not the kind of people who show off."

After the family discussed it, Xiang Laogen pulled Jiang Sui aside while watching a movie the next night and talked to him about this.

The general content is nothing more than that they feel that they have been too eye-catching recently, and ask the couple to keep a low profile.

Jiang Sui listened carefully and wanted to invite his father-in-law to his home several times, and persuaded Xiang Baiwei to go directly.

But Xiang Laogen felt that this was after all a matter between the couple, and it would be better to let them discuss it themselves.

After all, if the elderly are in charge of everything, it will easily make the young people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xiang Laogen had no intention of forcing Xiang Baiwei to obey, Jiang Sui felt regretful but had to choose another method.

But these suggestions to Lao Gen gave him another idea.

On the other side, Xiang Baiwei, who had listened to Wang Chunhua's mumbling, sat on a rock and watched a movie with great annoyance.

Chi Kunli next to her quickly noticed that something was wrong with her: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so listless?"

"Don't mention it, let's watch a movie. I don't want to talk about it." Xiang Baiwei waved her hand weakly, holding her chin with her hand, and watched the movie on the big screen in the distance seriously.

The next day, Xiang Baiwei, who was advised to keep a low profile, stood in the yard and observed the house during lunch.

Jiang Sui put down his chopsticks, stood up and chased after him: "Why don't you just sit at the table and eat your meal? Why are you running into the yard with your bowl in your hand? Did you see that I can't eat?"

Xiang Baiwei rolled her eyes at him and wanted to nod but stopped herself.

Jiang Sui guessed that she was unhappy, so he deliberately made small talk: "This house seems a bit old, do you want to replace the tiles?"

"Let's not change it. My mother said that we are too conspicuous now. We should live a simple life. Being too ostentatious will cause gossip." Xiang Baiwei pursed her lips depressedly, "But I earn that money to improve my life. If I can't spend the money I earn, then what's the point of earning money?"

"If you want to spend money, just spend it," Jiang Sui said, "Anyway, if we live in poverty, outsiders may not believe it. It's already very eye-catching, so my father-in-law and mother-in-law are worried."

Jiang Sui clenched his intact left hand into a fist behind his back: "Do you still want to build a supporting room?"

"Yes, it would be convenient for us to live in a supplementary room." Xiang Baiwei nodded gently, "Let people be jealous, if they are not envied, they are mediocre."

After saying that, Xiang Baiwei went into the house and started eating quickly.

After dinner, she took out a blank piece of paper and quickly calculated the accounts and wrote plans on it.

Jiang Sui, who was reading a book nearby, couldn't help but be curious and leaned over to take a look: "Are you planning to start construction now?"

"You know me. If I want to do something, I have to do it right away," Xiang Baiwei wrote without looking up. "It just so happens that some payments for goods will arrive in the next few days. We can seamlessly start the construction of my eldest brother's wedding room and our auxiliary room at the same time."

Jiang Sui felt a pang of heartache as he looked at Xiang Baiwei who was full of energy.

But he couldn't express his opposition clearly, as that would definitely push Xiang Baiwei further away.

Jiang Sui looked at his hand. The wound did not break any bones or require stitches. It had almost recovered in just one week.

I must stop her from having these thoughts as soon as possible.

That morning, Xiang Baiwei removed the gauze and prepared to change the dressing. Looking at the healed wound, she was delighted: "Your hand is finally healed!"

Jiang Sui looked at the newly grown flesh, pulled up a wry smile, and then thanked her solemnly: "You have worked hard these days, fortunately you are here."

"It's just a small matter. You don't need to be so polite to me. Besides, you have helped me a lot." Xiang Baiwei screwed the medicine bottle and jar and put away the gauze. "Then I will go back to the small workshop? There is still work there."

"You go ahead."

After Xiang Baiwei left, Jiang Sui sat in the room for a long time, then got up and packed a small bag of simple luggage.

After cleaning up, she ran to the workshop, found Xiang Baiwei who was working, and pulled her out: "I just received a notice asking me to go back to the Second Machinery Factory to help. It may take several days for me to come back."

Xiang Baiwei was thinking about the unfinished work at hand, and nodded perfunctorily: "Then you should be careful and don't get hurt again. Don't worry about your family, I can take care of them, you just need to take care of yourself."

"I'm talking about your business. I'm not worried about the dog or anything else. But I'm worried about you living alone at home. Why don't you go back to your parents' home for a few days? By the way, your eldest brother is getting married soon, so you can discuss some wedding matters with him, including the wedding house." Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei with a worried look on his face, and kept nagging her.

Xiang Baiwei felt that Jiang Sui was a strange person. Whenever he was not at home, he would either ask Chi Kunli to accompany him or send her back to her parents' home.

"I'm already a grown-up, it's no problem for me to live alone, and you lived alone before too!" Xiang Baiwei thought he was making a fuss. "Don't worry, we have two dogs at home, and Chi Kunli lives next door, so nothing will happen."

Jiang Sui was unhappy: "No, I'm worried. Either you go back to your parents' home, or I rush back every night."
