Chapter 110: Not so good, the Jiang family (Fifth update completed)
An envelope, bulging inside. When I opened it, I saw a thick stack of money inside.
Jiang Fuyue remembered that Han Yunru seemed to have come into the room in the middle of the night last night and tucked in the quilt for her and Jiang Xiaodi's feet.
She counted it and it was a full five thousand yuan.
"Yueyue is awake?" Han Yunru pushed the door in at this moment.
"Mom, did you put it there?" Jiang Fuyue held the money.
"Yeah." Han Yunru nodded. "I know you got a bonus, but you must have spent quite a bit on buying things for us, right? You'll be going to the capital in a few days, staying there for the better part of a month. As the saying goes, a poor home makes a rich journey, so it's definitely a good idea to bring some extra cash with you!"
"Don't say no. Keep it for yourself." Han Yunru stopped her before she could even finish her words. "Hurry up and change your clothes. We have to go celebrate grandma's birthday today."
Jiang Fuyue then realized that Han Yunru had dressed up specially. She was wearing a yellow and white floral dress, which made her skin look fair and her complexion was excellent. With her long hair draped over her shoulders, she looked gentle and generous.
Lian Jiangda dressed up specially, wearing a shirt with casual pants and polishing his leather shoes to a shiny finish. Standing there, he looked tall, straight and well-proportioned, except that his skin was a little dark and his smile was too naive.
"Chen Xing, go see if your sister is okay."
Jiang Xiaodi obeyed the order, ran to the bedroom door, and knocked politely: "Sister, are you changed?"
"alright."
The next second, the door opened from the inside, and Jiang Fuyue was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with the hem tucked into the waistband, outlining the perfect shape of her legs and waistline.
Han Yunru smiled: "Our Yueyue has grown up."
Jiang Da also looked pleased.
The family of four set off at ten in the morning and took the subway for an hour and a half to reach the restaurant.
On the way, Jiang Fuyue searched through the original owner's memory and found that the original owner had a very vague impression of the so-called "grandfather" and "grandmother". The only scattered fragments were about the two old people's mean and biased faces.
"Sister," Jiang Xiaodi pulled her arm and shook her gently, and asked softly, "Have you seen grandma?"
"Um."
"What kind of person is grandma?"
Jiang Fuyue said in a calm tone: "Not very good."
Brother Jiang seemed to be lost in thought.
Han Yunru heard it and couldn't help but teach the siblings a lesson: "That's grandma, you can't be impolite."
Jiang Fuyue glanced at her and said nothing.
…
Old Mrs. Jiang is exactly seventy years old this year, and her children have decided to hold a grand wedding.
Led by the second brother Jiang Hua, they booked the largest hall in Sixi Building and invited relatives and friends to attend.
The third son, Jiang Teng, followed the old lady closely and was responsible for entertaining the guests.
The youngest daughter, Jiang Qin, sat at the entrance with a notebook in front of her and a pen in her hand, responsible for registering the gift money.
"Look at how complacent the third child is. He is the smartest one in our family. He keeps trying to get close to your mother, but he hasn't accomplished anything serious. Instead, he gets all the face." Yang Jinqiu rolled her eyes and complained to her husband in a low voice.
Jiang Hua threw away his cigarette butt and said to his wife with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You know what kind of person the Third Brother is. Stop talking. If the guests hear it, it will be a disgrace to the Jiang family!"
Yang Jinqiu curled her lips, not daring to resist her husband. She muttered, "...I understand."
Suddenly, her eyes froze and fell on something not far ahead: "Husband, look! Is that my brother and the others?"
Jiang Hua looked over at the sound and stepped forward the next second: "Brother," his eyes were filled with a hint of sadness when they landed on Han Yunru, "Sister-in-law."
"Second brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?" Jiang Da's eyes were red.
"Yeah, time flies. In the blink of an eye, the child has grown so big. Is this Yueyue? The last time I saw her, she was only four years old and so short."
Han Yunru: "Yueyue, do you remember? This is my second uncle."
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him, then looked away and called out "Second Uncle" indifferently.
Han Yunru introduced her son again: "This is Chen Xing. He just graduated from elementary school and will start junior high school in September."
Jiang Hua looked at the two children and nodded kindly: "Both the brother and sister are good-looking. It's really my sister-in-law who knows how to raise them."
At this time, Yang Jinqiu came over and just heard this. He felt unhappy, but his face was full of smiles, and it was difficult to see any trace of it.
"Brother and sister-in-law are such rare guests. They've been gone for over ten years, and today we're finally reunited as a family."
Jiang Da smiled awkwardly, his embarrassment visible to the naked eye.
At that time, his mother did not agree with him marrying Aru and kicked him out of the house in anger. Later, he had Yueyue, and they would visit each other during the holidays.
But since Yueyue was four years old, the old lady had completely cut off contact with him. Every time Jiang Da asked to go home to visit, he was sternly rejected.
Sometimes they would even curse at him and tell him to get as far away as possible.
Now that it came out of Yang Jinqiu's mouth, it seemed like he was unkind and unfilial.
But Jiang Da has never been a person who would make excuses. He could only accept his brother and sister-in-law's rejection with a wry smile.
Han Yunru smiled and continued, "If Mom had agreed to let us come back earlier, we wouldn't have been separated for over a decade."
His tone was quite emotional, revealing a bit of regret.
Yang Jinqiu frowned slightly, but relaxed in the blink of an eye: "Don't stand outside, brother and sister-in-law, please come in--"
Walking to the door and stopping in front of the long table, Jiang Da took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, little sister."
Jiang Qin looked up suddenly when she heard that.
The next second, a smile suddenly broke out: "So it's you, big brother! If I remember correctly, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"
As he said that, he took Jiang Da's red envelope, opened it, and began to count the money skillfully.
Twenty, no more, no less, exactly two thousand.
Jiang Qin weighed it in her hand and said half-jokingly, "Brother hasn't been home for so long, and it's Mom's 70th birthday too. The red envelope is too light to hold!"
Jiang Da was at a loss.
Is it light?
Usually when someone has a birthday party on the streets, people usually give three to five hundred yuan, and six hundred yuan is considered the maximum.
This time, considering that it was his mother's tenth birthday, he gave her two thousand yuan. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked his wife if it would be too little.
Han Yunru said no.
So, when Jiang Da took it out, he was not worried, but now he was so embarrassed by Jiang Qin's words that he couldn't even raise his head.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qin didn't seem to care about her eldest brother's face: "Second brother just gave 20,000 yuan, and Mom was grinning from ear to ear!"
Jiang Da blushed, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet. "Then I..."
He wanted to add some more, but he had no idea how much.
Finally, he looked at his wife for help.
Han Yunru smiled and said, "The second brother has a rich family and great wealth. We are from a small family and dare not compare with him. By the way, how much are you giving me?"
Jiang Qin's face darkened and her smile faded completely.
Her family is of average financial status, and her husband has a fixed salary. They are not starving, but they are definitely not rich either, so this time she plans to give him a thousand yuan to settle the matter.
Anyway, she is a married daughter and there is no need to compare herself with her second brother.
In addition, she took the initiative to take on the task of registering the gift money, so she was not afraid that outsiders would know that she gave too little and lose face.
Jiang Qin's wishful thinking was going smoothly, but she was unexpectedly shattered by a single word from Han Yunru, the troublemaker...
See you tomorrow~
