Chapter 909: The old lady is making trouble, a family of the best
"Brother, it's me."
"Jiang Teng?"
"Eh—that's right."
Jiang Da frowned subconsciously: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Look at what you said, it's too polite. Can't I, as a younger brother, call and say hello to my brother?"
Jiang Da couldn't learn to be sweet-talking, nor did he know how to respond, so he simply kept silent.
In the end, it will definitely be the other person who can't hold it back anymore.
really--
"Brother, actually I do have something to do, hehe!"
Jiang Da: “…”
"I heard that you and your sister-in-law bought a big villa in the capital and have already moved in? It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Jiang Da: "It's OK, I can live here."
Jiang Teng curled his lips and said, "It's a big villa, of course I can live in it."
Jiang Da: "And we didn't buy the villa either."
"Ah? Then who bought it?"
"Yueyue."
"Hey, isn't Yueyue's yours? You've raised her, so why shouldn't you be allowed to live here? Hahaha..."
He thought he had told a very clever joke and burst out laughing.
Jiang Da remained indifferent and just said, "We are getting ready to go to bed. You should get some rest early too."
"Come on, big brother. We just talked for a few words...why do you want to take a break?"
"I have something to do tomorrow."
"Heh," the other end sneered, his expression changing so quickly that it seemed as if the brotherly friendship just a second ago was all an illusion. "Big brother has become rich now, so he doesn't recognize us poor relatives anymore... That's right, when people climb high and go too far, they forget their blood ties. It's normal."
Jiang Da frowned: "I never said that."
"But that's what you did, huh? You get annoyed after just a few words. If that's not disgust, what is it?"
"Third brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. It's more straightforward and concise, don't you think?"
There was a silence on the other end for two seconds. "Okay, since you want me to speak frankly, I'll speak frankly. Knowing that you've moved to the capital, Mom is very angry and wants you and sister-in-law to come back immediately."
Under the light, Jiang Da half-closed his eyelids, and Han Yunru could not see his emotions at the moment.
But I don't think it's very good.
"...Well, we'll be back tomorrow."
Jiang Teng raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction. No matter how rich he was, wasn't he still the same honest, simple, and almost stupid elder brother?
After the call ended, Jiang Teng called the old lady again, "Mom, don't worry, I've already conveyed my meaning... How did Big Brother react? Can't you guess? Of course he agreed immediately! After all, you're the most powerful, Mom. You just said a few words, and Big Brother treated it as an imperial decree and came back happily."
The old man's triumphant laughter came from the other end.
The next day, Jiang Da took Han Yunru back to Linhuai.
Jiang Fuyue was afraid that they would suffer losses, so she wanted to go back with them.
Jiang Da said, "Yueyue, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of it. Don't worry."
Meeting his insistent gaze, Jiang Fuyue was stunned for a moment before nodding: "...Oh, okay."
After the two of them left, she suddenly realized that the person who made the decision this time was actually Jiang Da?!
You know, every time he encountered this kind of problem, he would ask Han Yunru for her opinion first, and then say naively: I always listen to my wife.
But this time, he actually bypassed Han Yunru and made the decision directly.
Rare!
So rare!
Thinking about how the two of them seemed to have only carried a small bag when they left, and didn't bring any large items like suitcases, Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but look thoughtful.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Da and Han Yunru arrived at the old lady's house. Jiang Teng and his wife, and Jiang Qin and his wife also came.
Old lady Qiu Shufen sat on the sofa with a sullen face, acting like the head of the family.
He has a bit of the style of an "old feudal lord" in an ancient big family.
"Where's the second brother? Why didn't he come?"
Forehead!
Jiang Teng curled his lips, thinking that the old lady was too tactless. She brought up all sorts of issues, even though she knew that his eldest brother and his wife had a problem with his second brother...
Jiang Qin also secretly glanced at Jiang Da's expression, and sure enough, there was a hint of coldness in it.
Ever since the incident with Yang Jinqiu, Jiang Hua has taken the initiative to avoid appearing in front of Jiang Da and Han Yunru many times.
Mainly because it was too embarrassing.
Not only did he covet his eldest sister-in-law, but his wife almost killed someone and was sentenced to prison for intentional injury and has not been released yet...
What the hell is going on?
Although Jiang Qin is thick-skinned, she still has basic ethics and morals.
If the news gets out, won't I be embarrassed too? How can I hold my head up high in my husband's family?
"Mom, my second brother said he's on a business trip and can't come. I clearly told you before, why are you still asking?"
There was a hint of complaint in Jiang Qin's words.
If I angered my eldest brother and his wife, how would I even begin to discuss what they were planning next?
The old lady: "Really? I'm old and my memory is not good. I'm annoying!"
Jiang Qin really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back: "Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't mean that!"
"Okay, now that the boss is back, let's talk it out today."
Jiang Da sat silently, and only hummed lightly when he heard the words.
Qiu Shufen's eyes flickered slightly: "I heard you moved to the capital?"
Jiang Da: "Yeah."
"How many days do you plan to stay?"
"We plan to settle down."
Bang--
The old lady slammed her hand on the coffee table. "That's ridiculous! I'm not even dead yet, and as the eldest son, you can't wait to run away. Is this how you show filial piety?"
"Was it this woman who instigated this?" The old lady pointed at Han Yunru, her eyes sharp. "When you married her, I knew she was a troublemaker. She would only cause chaos in our family and leave us with no peace!"
Han Yunru frowned and was about to make an excuse.
Jiang Da spoke first, "It's none of Aru's business. This is something we decided together."
"You decided? What did you decide? Move to the imperial capital? You don't know anyone there, why would you move there? Isn't it because of this woman? I heard that she seems to have found her parents, and they happen to be from the imperial capital. So, are you planning to become a live-in son-in-law?"
"Yeah," Jiang Teng's eyes rolled. "Brother, you just left without saying anything. To be honest, I still can't accept it. After all, our whole family is in Linhuai. You can be considered leaving your hometown, right?"
Back then, Jiang Da was dark, ugly, and not very smart. He pushed a small cart and sold pancakes for people. He lived a cowardly life for half his life and couldn't even afford a decent piece of clothing. He lived a very tight life with his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, in just three or four years, the situation changed and he became the richest among the three brothers.
That’s not all, the key is that he also raised a pair of good children.
Needless to say, Jiang Fuyue is a future high-tech talent. I heard that she won a foreign "X-La Award" last year. She was praised by the News Broadcast and was praised as "the light of China" and "a rising academic star"!
At that time, the three of them were sitting in the living room watching TV, still a little bit unbelievable.
Jiang Teng: "No way? I guess it's a duplicate name."
Liu Shuting: "Exactly! How could a golden phoenix fly out of such a remote mountain area?"
Their son Jiang Kai rolled his eyes after hearing this. "That's Sister Yue, okay? The photos are posted, can't you see them?"
He didn't feel jealous at all.
Jiang Teng: “…”
Liu Shuting: “…”
That night, Jiang Kai gave them a crash course in the legendary stories of Jiang Fuyue, leaving the couple stunned.
Jiang Teng even asked a soul-searching question: "How could such a dull man as my eldest brother give birth to such a smart daughter?"
He doesn't believe it anyway.
Jiang Kai: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact; even if you don't believe it, you can't change the fact."
The couple: "..."
"You're quite open-minded. We both have the surname Jiang, and she's so prominent. Aren't you feeling jealous?"
Jiang Kai: “?”
Sour? Does he deserve it?
"Please spare me. People are only jealous of those on the same track as them. For example, would you be jealous because Audrey Hepburn is prettier than you, or Marilyn Monroe is sexier than you?"
"Competitions that are not on the same level are meaningless."
Liu Shuting: "..." She was speechless.
"So, it's better for us to first understand ourselves and not be too ordinary and confident, especially you - Dad!"
Jiang Teng: "..." So love will disappear?
After talking about Jiang Fuyue, let’s talk about Jiang Chenxing.
He used to be a skinny, short-statured "glutton", how come he suddenly became a popular anchor and signed a contract with an agency?
Nowadays, those anchors can make a lot of money. They can earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan by just taking an advertisement.
Just sit in front of the camera and talk or sing, and people will give you tips. You can earn tens of thousands of dollars for each show, right?
This is not the end. Last year, Jiang Chenxing participated in a star-making camp. After only a few episodes, his popularity soared and he gained countless fans.
I heard that he is going to make his debut, officially become a star, and make money in the entertainment industry!
The person who should be most uncomfortable about this is Liu Shuting.
Her son Jiang Kai is tall and handsome. He started learning talents since he was a child. He can perform vocal music, dance, and play drums. Professionals say that he is born to do this.
Therefore, Liu Shuting has been training him in this direction intentionally or unintentionally all along, and the money invested in him every year is probably at least hundreds of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.
But apart from winning a few awards in dance competitions, she has no popularity and no fame. As for her debut, it seems like a distant prospect.
Before knowing Jiang Chenxing's situation, Liu Shuting didn't think there was anything wrong.
She can also find excuses to cultivate her son's interests and hobbies, and to develop quality education and versatility.
However, when she learned that Jiang Chenxing had millions of fans without doing anything, Liu Shuting's mentality was completely unbalanced.
Why?
They are all children, born by their parents, so why are others doing so well without spending a penny, while they have spent hundreds of thousands but have not achieved anything?
Well, since the art path was not feasible, Liu Shuting changed her route and started studying with Jiang Kai.
Before Jiang Kai could "achieve academic success", Jiang Xiaodi's high school entrance examination results came out again.
He scored 723 out of a total of 750 points, ranking 31st in the city.
Liu Shuting: “…” Sorry, I can’t roll it anymore.
She looked like she had lost all hope in life, but Jiang Kai was happy that no one cared about him and he was free and easy.
Back to the present, after Qiu Shufen cursed the "son-in-law who lives with the family", the scene became even quieter.
The old lady had a stern face and her emotions were expressed very well.
Jiang Da took a deep breath. "Aru's parents are indeed in the imperial capital, but we moved there mainly because our two children will be there in the future. So, we can't stay in Linhuai forever. It's only a matter of time before we move to the imperial capital."
Qiu Shufen sneered: "Oh! So you don't care about your own mother anymore?"
"Yes, big brother," Jiang Qin said, seeming to hesitate. "After all, our mother is in Linhuai. It seems inappropriate for you to leave without even saying goodbye."
Jiang Da: "We're moving in a hurry, and there's a lot going on. I plan to tell Mom later."
Ever since Jiang Da caught the old lady bullying Han Yunru last time, his relationship with Qiu Shufen has become distant.
Although he was indifferent in the past, Jiang Da still put filial piety first in his heart.
Now... I don't care anymore, as long as I can look okay on the surface.
But some people didn't see it, or maybe they saw it, but they didn't believe that Jiang Da would be so decisive.
Jiang Qin sighed, "Now Mom already knows, but she heard it from someone else. Big Brother, you didn't do this right!"
"Then what should I do?" Jiang Da suddenly spoke.
Forehead!
Jiang Qin seemed to be caught off guard by his response and was stunned for a moment: "...Of course, I told Mom in advance..."
"Then, a group of you gathered around to express your disagreement, right?"
"This... should still be discussed carefully!"
"If that's the case, then why should I tell you? To make you object?"
"No...Brother, how could you say that? We are just thinking about Mom!"
"Before, when I was in Linhuai and still setting up shop, why didn't you come to me once? Didn't you need to consider Mom before?"
Jiang Qin choked and gave him a reproachful look.
What's wrong with you, brother? You never used to say things so embarrassingly!
Sure enough, this person changed once he had money.
Jiang Da, who used to be so submissive and obedient, has unexpectedly become so difficult to deal with and hard to fool!
Jiang Teng is not the only one who is jealous.
Jiang Qin watched Jiang Da's family live in a villa, open a restaurant, have excellent children, and gradually become winners in life.
In the past, what she was most proud of was her children's academic performance.
But compared with Jiang Fuyue, it's not worth mentioning at all.
One can imagine the blow Jiang Qin suffered.
"Weren't you short of money before? Now that you're doing well, it's only natural that I ask you to take on more responsibilities towards Mom."
Qiu Shufen said at the right time: "You moved to the capital to settle down, don't you want to take care of me anymore?"
Jiang Da: "I pay you alimony on time every month."
"Oh, with just that little money, you're sending away a beggar?"
Jiang Da raised his eyes coldly, as if seeing through everything: "Just tell me, what do you want?"
The old lady coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she held her chin high, speaking with confidence and righteousness: "Since you've gone to the capital, I can't force you to come back. The key is that if things get awkward, it won't be good for either side. Mom still understands you."
"But—as you can see, the house I live in now is small and inconvenient. So, you can go to the Imperial City, but the villa in Linhuai, oh, the one in Yutian Mansion, has to be given to me. It's empty anyway, so it's a waste, right? What a pity!"
This wave will completely solve the big problem of Jiang Da's original family, and then the old woman can go offline.
