Jiang Xue was so angry at Liu Aiyue that she laughed. "Let your son handle it. Anyway, I'll be divorcing Ji Chen soon."
Upon hearing this, Liu Aiyue immediately became displeased, her walnut-shell-like face contorted in a grimace. "I've come to terms with it now. I didn't force you to get a divorce."
Liu Aiyue felt uneasy. Xie Xiaotian was already a member of the Ji family anyway. Whether she was Ji Chen's or Ji Dong's son was completely irrelevant to her, as long as the eldest grandson she gave birth to was from the Ji family.
Also, she sees that Jiang Xue is doing really well in her business. Because of Jiang Xue, when she goes to the village, people even try to curry favor with her and ask her to put in a good word for them so they can find her some small jobs.
She's come to terms with it now; she doesn't need a divorce for now. As long as she gets pregnant within a year, she'll endure it for a year.
"If you give me a grandson this year, I'll accept you as my daughter-in-law." Liu Aiyue's words represented the biggest concession she had made.
In the eyes of the workers in the courtyard, it seemed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had finally achieved a historic reconciliation, and Liu Aiyue had finally accepted Jiang Xue.
“I’ve never even held hands with Ji Chen, why would I want to have a baby with a male dog? It’s your son who’s no good, yet you have the nerve to criticize me every day.” Jiang Xue made no attempt to hide her disrespect for Liu Aiyue in front of everyone.
“But I don’t care about your Ji Chen now. I’ve already made an agreement with him. We’re going to get divorced sooner or later anyway, so don’t try to show off your good intentions.” After saying that, Jiang Xue picked up her enamel mug and drank a cup of tea.
His calm and composed demeanor didn't seem feigned at all.
Seeing her like this, Liu Aiyue grew angrier. She was the one who had shamelessly insisted on marrying her back then, but now she wanted to leave as soon as she wanted.
Jiang Xue seems to have gotten all the good things in the world. Liu Aiyue gritted her teeth and said, "You can leave, but you have to give the Ji family a grandson and leave all the money to my eldest grandson. You can go wherever you want."
Jiang Xue stared at Liu Aiyue in utter astonishment. She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.
So she's already craving something just because she's only making a little money?
"Get as far away from me as you can, who do you think you are?" Jiang Xue didn't even want to roll her eyes at Liu Aiyue. She just felt a headache coming on whenever she saw this unreasonable old woman who loved to take advantage of others.
A sly glint flashed in Liu Aiyue's shrewd eyes, and she walked away without saying a word.
Under the hazy moonlight, the workers finished their shifts one by one.
Ji Chen placed the cooked dishes on the table and said, "Let's eat too."
Jiang Xue was helped by Ji Chen to sit on the Eight Immortals Climbing Table.
"This fish looks pretty good," Jiang Xue said, picking up a fresh small river fish.
Jiang Xue was instantly amazed by the plate of small river fish. The meat was fresh and delicious, without any muddy or diesel smell. It was not only fresh but also had a hint of sweetness.
As expected, fish from unpolluted water sources taste much better. It's hard to believe that in just a few decades, the only way to see such scenery or eat such delicious fish is to go to remote scenic areas.
"Gu Xiaohei brought this to me, saying it was for you to eat."
Jiang Xue ate the fish with relish, blinking at Ji Chen with a puzzled look. "Why did you give it to me? Is it because my foot is injured?"
"No, he didn't know your foot was injured. He was just thanking you for taking care of his sister and was very kind to her."
Just as Ji Chen finished speaking, a loud "thump" came from the kitchen.
Jiang Xue glanced at it calmly, but she couldn't see the kitchen from her position. "Could it be a cat?"
"What cat? Can't I come and see my grandson?" Liu Aiyue suddenly popped out of the kitchen.
