Chapter 239 His son-in-law is still not clever enough!
"Ah Shu, who's calling? You should answer the phone first!" Jiang Chenghua asked, pretending not to care.
An Songshu replied, seemingly unconcerned:
"It's my older sister on the phone, Dad. It's okay, I'll play mahjong with you guys first, and I'll call her back later."
Jiang Wenying, who was intently watching the mahjong game next to her, looked up slightly, only to be drawn back to the mahjong tiles in her husband's hands.
She pointed to one of the cards and whispered to her husband, "You play this one later!"
Upon hearing this, An Songshu, who was already holding another card, immediately put down the card in his hand and picked up the card his wife had pointed to.
Now, Jiang Chenghua was also filled with frustration.
Originally, he thought he could find someone whose heart was only for his daughter.
A son-in-law who values his wife's family more than his own is a rare and wonderful thing.
But now it seems... he's not clever enough as a son-in-law!
Jiang Chenghua looked at the couple with a hint of disappointment, and reminded them again:
"Your sister is calling at this time, it might be something important."
“Wen Yin, weren’t you just giving me advice? Why don’t you take over and let Ashu answer the phone?”
In the end, Jiang Chenghua's tone didn't change much.
But his family members who know him well know that his words show his firm resolve.
Seeing that Jiang Wenying didn't seem to feel anything, her brother next to her quickly nudged her.
Jiang Wenying then reluctantly changed her position.
By this time, An Songyi's phone call had naturally ended.
Ansongshu, who had been replaced, replayed the past in a bad mood.
This instantly cheered An Songyi up, who was initially upset about not being able to get through on the phone.
She quickly answered the phone, greeting him with a smile, "Hello, Xiaoshu? It's your big sister!"
An Songshu glanced speechlessly at the caller ID on his phone screen before saying:
"Yes, I know it's my older sister. Is there something you need when you call at this time?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" An Songyi teased jokingly before asking, "Xiaoshu, have you been busy lately?"
An Songshu could tell from his older sister's tone that she needed his help with something.
He glanced at his wife instinctively.
My in-laws have been worried about the demolition and relocation in Shenzhen lately, and have been making all sorts of inquiries.
It's difficult to find time to take care of other things for the time being.
So he replied, "Yes, I have been quite busy lately."
However, he didn't elaborate on the specific reasons.
After all, my father-in-law's family is still inside!
But just then, Jiang Wenying's excited voice suddenly rang out: "I give up! I give up, I give up!"
Along with that, there was the sound of mahjong tiles being knocked over.
Now, it's hard for the two sisters, who were listening together on speakerphone, to pretend nothing happened.
He found it even harder to believe that his younger brother was "too busy."
For two consecutive days, I was turned down by both my biological mother and my cousin.
It's impossible that An Songyi has absolutely no ideas.
However, as the eldest sister, her sense of responsibility and long-standing habits sometimes exceed many of her own ideas.
He glanced at his younger sister, who had already put on a stern face, with a hint of helplessness.
An Songyi felt a little regretful that she hadn't refused when her younger sister wanted to listen together.
So, An Songyi stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:
"Are you aware of the demolition and relocation project in that Liangdi area?"
Upon hearing his elder sister's question, An Songshu's face immediately darkened.
He said, somewhat irritated, "So what if I know? So what if I don't?"
"Little Tree!" An Songyi called out seriously.
"Don't you dare call me!" An Songshu was also particularly annoyed.
“Since Mom and Dad specially allocated houses for you and your second sister, it’s only natural that you go and help out.”
"I didn't get anything!"
"Don't come to me if anything happens."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for An Songyi to say anything more.
"Little Tree, Little Tree..." An Songyi called out to the phone several times in disbelief.
An Songyun, who was standing to the side, reluctantly took the phone from her sister's hand.
"Sister, forget it!" An Songyun advised, "Even if you really call him here, look at Mom's attitude, are you really happy to see him with such a long face?"
"Moreover, Xiaoshu's personality is such that he's more likely to be separated from his wife than from his mother."
"My sister-in-law isn't a hard worker either."
"Even if we call them over, what help can they possibly provide?"
"Rather than letting them attract attention in front of Mom and make her angry, it's better to leave it as it is!"
"Or, as time goes on, whether it's them or Mom and Dad, they might have different ideas."
As for whether this idea is good or bad, An Songyun couldn't guarantee it.
But she needs to persuade her older sister first.
Given the eldest sister's personality, she would probably feel hopeful about the relationship between the three of them again after hearing this.
Indeed, when An Songyi heard her sister's words, she also felt that it wasn't the right thing to force her younger brother to come over again.
My younger brother was spoiled terribly by his parents when he was a child.
I never hide anything from my heart.
Given his current mood, he'll definitely put on a sour face for everyone.
At that time, it was probably not just her mother who had a bad impression of him.
Nowadays, several of my uncles and aunts also have close relationships with my parents.
We need to ruin their impression of us.
Who knows what the consequences might be?
Maintaining distance now is better than nothing; at least it prevents their relationship from deteriorating further.
As for the future, if my younger brother really brings up their compensation from this demolition... well, there's nothing I can do about it!
The demolition notice has already been issued.
Even if his parents really wanted to transfer the house to him, they couldn't do it.
I forced myself to comfort myself.
An Songyi barely managed to muster her energy and began communicating with the landlord.
After yesterday's small meeting, quite a few people had time to register with Yuan Qionghua today.
At night, when most companies and factories are not working.
That would mean even more people would register and inquire.
Soon, the two sisters were so busy that they had no time to think about anything else.
On the contrary, An Songyu, after quickly finishing her work with her aunt, was called over by her younger sister.
An Songxiang is going to Hong Kong again tomorrow.
This time, she will be gone for a full week.
And An Songxiang has an appointment with a client tomorrow night.
After she left home, Bi Lizhu had to go in her place.
So, naturally, An Songyu will need to help with the house here.
As for the house, An Songyu doesn't need to worry about it.
Although Bi Lizhu was absent, An Jianping was still able to find time to keep watch.
Their house was too close to An Songyu's house.
The two were still a little worried, so An Songyu, a girl, went to handle it alone.
When An Songyu arrived, An Songxiang was busy at work.
She greeted her sister first, and then got busy as An Songxiang had instructed.
