Chapter 22 Family background



"Oh, my third brother's wife is here. What a rare guest." Mrs. Jiang said.

"She's a rare guest, isn't she? My third sister-in-law is lucky. Mom likes her and she doesn't have to do anything. She just needs to bring food to her mouth." Jiang's second wife also had to speak.

Before Song Jiayu could say anything, Jiang's mother came to her defense. "What are you arguing about? Are you going to have dinner or not? If you two sisters-in-law want to be treated like the third daughter-in-law, then move out and don't rely on me."

Jiang Dasao and Jiang Ersao's faces turned grim. Jiang Dasao was fine. Jiang Baichuan had learned to drive with Jiang's father and was now a truck driver for a large factory. He had passed the Level 5 driver's license and earned 41 yuan, which was enough to support their family. But why was he leaving? Was he going to leave everything that Jiang's father and mother had worked hard for their entire lives to the third child? It was wishful thinking. That all belonged to her son.

Jiang Ersao is not a good person at all. Jiang Baifeng's job was the job that Jiang's mother used to work at the street office. She exchanged it for a new one in a big factory. Now he is a factory worker with a monthly salary of only 27.5. There are two children at home. How can she support them? He has to live with Jiang's father and mother even if he has to be shameless!

Song Jiayu smiled but said nothing. Jiang's mother had her back, so she didn't bother to beg and curtsy with her two sisters-in-law. She simply pulled out a few candies from her pocket and said to her four nephews and nieces, "Come here, Third Aunt will give you some candy."

The two sons of the eldest brother, Jiang Chengshi and Jiang Chengyi, answered it directly and shouted "Thank you, Third Aunt". The four-year-old girl of the second brother, Jiang Wanyi, first glanced at Jiang Ersao.

"Just answer it if she gives it to you. Look at what I'm doing!"

Jiang Wanyi took it and passed it to her one-year-old brother as well, saying softly, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

The little girl inherited the good looks of the Jiang family, with big eyes, curled eyelashes, a cherry mouth, a small nose, and a chubby face.

Song Jiayu really thought it was cute. She came to Jiang Baizhou and whispered, "Little Wanyi is so cute and has a soft personality. With such a good little girl, your family doesn't favor boys over girls, right?"

Jiang Baizhou also whispered back: "Second sister-in-law is a little bit, but my mother likes Wanyi more among her grandchildren and will not let the child suffer."

The Jiang family had a pretty sumptuous meal tonight, including a plate of braised rabbit meat, a plate of fried eggs with leeks, a plate of stir-fried shredded radish, pickled sauerkraut made by Jiang's mother, and a large plate of steamed buns made with four-grain flour.

Several men in the Jiang family ate at one table in the main room, while the remaining women went into the house, set up a small table on the kang, and ate with their children.

"Come, eat more rabbit meat. This is wild rabbit from the mountain, and the meat is firm." Jiang's mother picked up a piece for her third daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Jiang patted her eldest son, Jiang Chengshi, on the back. The seven-year-old boy immediately shouted, "Grandma, I want to eat rabbit meat too. I want to eat more, grow up well, and be filial to you and Grandpa."

Jiang's mother didn't like her eldest daughter-in-law who was always calculating, but she loved her grandsons. She immediately picked up a piece for her eldest grandson, but she didn't forget the rest of her grandchildren and put a piece of rabbit meat in their bowls.

While eating, Song Jiayu received a look from Jiang Dasao that said "I won".

she:……

What's the point of winning or losing? As an adult, would she compete for favor with a child?

At the dinner table, Jiang's mother continued, "Jiayu, please bring San'er home for dinner when you have time. He's in such poor health that he eats whatever's in the factory or whatever he makes every day. How can he be healthy?"

Mrs. Jiang interrupted: "Mom, my third brother has already said that he doesn't want to come home for dinner, why are you forcing him?" When the third brother was at home, Jiang's father and mother often asked people for mountain products to nourish his body. The food was good, but it was all spent by the Jiang family's money. She felt distressed!

"I asked my son to come home for dinner, how is that forcing him? If you can't talk, just talk less." Jiang's mother knew very well about the little calculations of the old lady. For the sake of this family and her two grandsons, she didn't care most of the time, but San'er was her bottom line.

Forced to shut up, Mrs. Jiang stared at Song Jiayu fiercely.

But Song Jiayu is the typical person who responds to soft words but not hard ones.

She smiled slightly, her dimples showing, looking very sweet and lovely, and said, "Mom, I will. I'm just afraid that Bai Zhou and I will come here a few more times. Please don't dislike us!"

Jiang's mother liked this kind of straightforward and straightforward personality. "How could I dislike you? I wish you would come more often."

"I love the food you cook, Mom. It's delicious. I wonder if you have any cooking methods that you could teach me."

“…”

"So that's how it is. You're worthy of being my mother."

“…”

"Mom, how can you be so nice? Marrying into this family is like entering a blessed nest."

“…”

Throughout the dinner table, Song Jiayu made Jiang's mother laugh out loud with just a few words. She was in a very good mood and kept picking up food for her.

Several children of the Jiang family were stunned and thought that the new aunt was very powerful.

Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Ersao were so angry that they immediately united their front and decided to deal with the third brother's wife, who was their great enemy.

After the meal, the couple was about to leave the yard and go home. Jiang's mother was still reluctant to let them go and asked Jiayu to come to the yard to see her more often.

The young couple left the compound. It was not very dark yet, and under the street lights, their shadows were very long.

"It seems that Mom likes you very much. If you think you can get along with Mom, you can talk to her often. Ever since she gave her job to my second brother, Mom has been free and has been in a bad mood." Jiang Baizhou was willing to chat with his mother for a while longer, but he couldn't, and it would remind his mother of his supernatural powers. She always looked at him with guilty eyes, which not only made his mother tired, but also tired him.

"Okay, but it depends on my mood."

"Well, of course it's up to you."

Back at Yard No. 14, every household had kerosene lamps on. Jiang Baizhou lit the kerosene lamp at home, went to another room, took out two books about electricity and took them to the bedroom to read.

Song Jiayu leaned over and asked, "Can you learn it just by reading a book?"

"Almost. I can understand most of it. As for the actual operation, I will go to the factory to consult the level 3 electrician master. It would be best if I can pass the level 2 electrician assessment in January next year." Jiang Baizhou said his plan. He took out an iron box from behind a brick and opened it. The two bundles of money and two small yellow croakers inside stunned Song Jiayu's eyes.

“This, this…”

She was speechless for a long time and really wanted to ask you in person if you were a time-traveling man?

"There's a total of 500 yuan here. It's mostly my salary, and some I made on the black market before I started working at the factory. But our group has dispersed, so there's no need to worry about them arresting us and taking us to a farm someday. These two small yellow croakers were given to me when I was 15 to help an old landlord. No one knows about it."

After Jiang Baizhou finished speaking, his pair of auspicious phoenix eyes were like an amber gem, filled with the expectation of praise, and as bright as the stars in the sky.
