Chapter 333: Chunni's arrival, a big game (Part 1 and 2)
Jiang Fuyue just arrived home and found that there was nowhere to step into the entrance hall. Bags of all sizes were piled on the ground, emitting a smell of sweat.
She frowned subconsciously.
There were voices coming from the living room. A high-pitched female voice was particularly abrupt. Not only was the decibel high, but it also kept talking like a machine gun, making it very noisy.
Walking around the pile of things, Jiang Fuyue changed his shoes and headed towards the living room.
"...Aunt Fern, is this really your house? This is so beautiful! I've never seen such a luxurious house. What's it called?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Villa."
"So that word is pronounced 'shu'? I always thought it was pronounced 'ye'! No wonder my aunt keeps saying you're living a good life in the city, wearing gold and silver, and enjoying a life of luxury!"
The "aunt" the woman was referring to was the old lady's sister-in-law, Jiang Da's great aunt.
The old lady suddenly felt proud. The face she had not earned in front of her sister-in-law when she was young, she had now earned it back twice as much, and she felt quite proud.
"Sister-in-law, you're talking nonsense. I don't wear gold or silver. It's just that my children are grown up now and are filial, so life is indeed a little better than before."
"Aunt Fen! You already live in a villa, and it's still just 'a little'?" The woman's tone was exaggerated, and her body movements were wild and open, looking quite funny.
The old lady smiled reservedly. "What's the big deal? Once you get used to it, you'll find that a villa is no different from any other house. It's just a little bigger, with two more floors, and you're too lazy to clean it! If you ask me, the tiled house back home is still more comfortable. Warm in winter and cool in summer."
"You have such a nice house, and you are still thinking about the tiled house?!" The woman looked surprised.
The old lady said: "Alas, I am old and nostalgic."
“…”Is there a cat disease?
"By the way, Chunni, you said you were here to take care of me, but don't treat yourself as an outsider. Just stay here peacefully."
Chunni was touched. "Aunt Fen, you're so kind to me... Where's Brother Jiang? Is he home? I haven't seen him in years. I'll cook tonight. I'll make some snacks from home, and you can have a taste of my cooking."
"Don't worry about him. He goes out early and comes back late every day. He is very busy."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Jiang has something important to do, and we'll see each other sooner or later! No wonder my aunt always says you're better at raising children than she is. The three brothers in the Jiang family are more promising than each other."
The old lady felt very comfortable being praised, and she also liked Chunni better.
Suddenly, his eyes swept over Jiang Chenxing who was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He couldn't help but frown and put on a stern look: "How old are you? Why are you still watching cartoons? Don't you know how to watch something nutritious?"
This preaching attitude just fits Chunni's words "I know how to teach children".
Jiang Xiaodi: “?” It’s very confusing.
"Oh, this is Brother Jiang's son, right?" Chunni seemed to have just discovered the little guy's existence and pretended to be surprised. "He's so cute! Aunt Fen, please don't be too strict. The child is still young."
The old lady said sternly: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object."
Look, she is a great parent who is good at teaching her children and grandchildren.
Chunni: “…”
Jiang Xiaodi: “?” It’s still very confusing.
The old lady coughed twice and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you call someone? This is your cousin."
Jiang Chenxing was a very polite child. Upon hearing this, he obediently called out, "Cousin."
"Hey! This kid is really sensible."
The old lady raised her chin slightly and said leisurely, "It's okay."
“…”
"Go, pour your cousin a glass of water."
Chunni waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no."
The old lady said: "It's okay, just sit down. It won't hurt for children to learn some more manners."
"this……"
"Please sit down."
Chunni sat down with an unwilling look on her face and looked around. What a beautiful house! She had only seen it in TV dramas before.
Jiang Xiaodi said "oh" and was about to go to the kitchen to get a cup, when suddenly -
"Sister! You're back!"
This shout made the old lady's back stiffen, and Chunni looked over subconsciously -
I saw a girl who was prettier than a star standing not far away, leaning against the wall, with a smile on her face. I didn't know when she appeared or how long she had been there.
Chunni stood up from the sofa a little awkwardly. She didn't know why she did that, but she suddenly didn't dare to sit down anymore.
"Aunt Fenn, this is..."
The old lady has returned to normal, but her eyes are evasive, and she looks a little guilty: "Oh, this is the eldest daughter."
"It's Yueyue..." Chunni smiled habitually, trying to get closer to the old lady like she did to her husband, but she was unexpectedly met with a pair of indifferent eyes. The black pupils were deep and dark, as if flashing with a faint light.
The moment you look over, you feel an invisible oppression that makes you feel suffocated.
Jiang Xiaodi had already run over and held her hand, looking dependent.
Jiang Fuyue touched his head and then looked at the woman: "My cousin is here. I've had a hard time traveling."
The clear and cool voice was chilling to the bone.
Chunni felt a chill down her spine.
“N-Not hard…” He stumbled.
"If nothing else, we'll go upstairs first."
After saying that, without waiting for others to react, he left with Jiang Xiaodi.
The old lady's mouth was stiff.
Chunni was a little at a loss: "Aunt Fen, I..."
"Don't pay any attention to her, that's just how she is!"
Suddenly, Chunni's expression changed slightly.
He looked behind the old lady awkwardly, "Yue, Yueyue..."
Jiang Fuyue had returned at some point and was now standing at the stairs. "Grandma, I forgot to remind you, the wind is strong, so talk less and be careful of the cold wind blowing down your throat."
The old lady didn't have the courage to look back at her, her whole body was stiff like a stone statue.
Chunni looked around in confusion: "Wind? Where did the wind come from? The room is so warm."
After going upstairs, Jiang Fuyue asked Jiang Xiaodi to go back to his room to do his homework.
"Sister, sister, I really like the gift you bought me."
"As long as you like it."
"Should I pour water for my cousin next time?" He blinked.
Jiang Fuyue asked back: "What do you think?"
He thought for a moment and said, "If my cousin is a good person, then it's fine, because it's polite; but if she is not a good person, I won't pour her water."
"Yeah." Jiang Fuyue nodded.
"Then I'm going to do my homework. I still have a lot of Olympiad math problems to do, and I have to do a live broadcast tonight..." The little guy walked while counting on his fingers and muttering.
Jiang Fuyue also turned around and went back to her room. The moment she closed the door, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Ordering Brother Jiang around?
Oh, who does she think she is?
…
In the evening, Jiang Da and Han Yunru came back and saw Chunni watching TV with the old lady in the living room with a confused look on her face.
I don’t know how there came another person in the house.
And that pile of stuff was still placed in the entrance hall, smelling even worse than in the afternoon. Even Jiang Da, a rough guy, couldn't help but frown.
"Mom, this is..."
The old lady didn't move her eyelids: "Your cousin, Chunni, forgot?"
Chunni looked at the burly Jiang Da in front of her, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, "Cousin..."
The soft voice, which was sounded with a pinched throat, gave people goose bumps.
Han Yunru frowned.
The next second, Chunni looked at her with a stunned expression.
She had never seen Han Yunru in person, only her photos. She remembered that she was a woman wearing a wedding dress. Maybe it was because of the yellowed photo paper that she looked quite beautiful.
But most of those photos have been retouched, and we still don’t know what the real person looks like.
But at this moment, her face hurt.
Han Yunru is more than ten times more beautiful than in the photo, and that was a photo taken twenty years ago. She is twenty years older now, but still so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
One can imagine how graceful she was back then.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Chunni forced a smile.
"Chun Ni, right?" Han Yunru's voice was gentle, and her eyes seemed to ripple when she smiled.
"...It's me." She felt even more depressed, and she couldn't explain her exact emotion.
"When did you arrive? Have you had dinner?"
"Afternoon, we've already eaten. Have you guys eaten yet? I made some home-cooked food, and Aunt Fen said it was delicious. Would you and Brother Jiang like to try some? I'll heat it up for you."
Han Yunru waved her hand: "No, we've already eaten. Is that your food at the door?"
"Ah?" Chunni was stunned.
“It’s those bags.”
Chunni's cheeks turned red instantly.
Those were the clothes she wore when she was on the train. In order to meet people decently, she found a place to change into clean clothes after getting off the train.
But after entering the door, I was so shocked by what I saw that I forgot my things at the door for a moment.
In addition, there are some homemade sauerkraut.
There was already a smell of sweat, and when combined with the smell of sauerkraut, Chunni couldn't even imagine what the effect would be.
"Sorry! I'll clean it up right away!"
The old lady couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "He's a guest, why are you cleaning up? Let the eldest daughter-in-law do it."
In one sentence, Han Yunru's arrangements were made clear.
Chunni didn't dare: "No, no, it's my own stuff, I should pack it myself..."
The old lady was furious: "I told you to leave it alone, so leave it alone. This family listens to me!"
Jiang Da frowned, feeling sorry for his wife: "Mom, Aru is very tired after a busy day, you..."
"Does it take a lot of strength to pack a few bags? I can't do it now."
Jiang Da wanted to say something, but Han Yunru said:
"It's okay, I'll clean it up."
Jiang Da felt more and more guilty. He couldn't do anything about the old lady, and he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer. "I'll go clean it up."
After saying that, he walked away in silence.
Chunni quickly ran to Jiang Da. She definitely couldn't let Brother Jiang clean up for her, otherwise her slovenliness would be exposed completely.
Originally, when Aunt Fen stood on her side and ordered Han Yunru around, she felt a little secretly happy, but now she was just panicked.
"Brother Jiang! No need to bother! I can do it myself! Really! I can do it myself, don't move!"
There is one more person in the house, and he is the "guest" chosen by the old lady, so naturally he cannot be neglected.
The guest room needs to be cleaned up, the quilts and sheets need to be replaced, and daily necessities such as toothbrushes and towels need to be prepared...
All of this fell on Han Yunru's head.
By the time she finished her work, it was almost dawn.
Chunni was getting a little impatient. She yawned and asked, "Sister-in-law, what took you so long to clean up? I want to go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow to push Aunt Fen out for a walk..."
Han Yunru: "It will be ready soon. Go take a shower first."
"No, I've already washed my face and feet."
Han Yunru paused and said, "It's better to take a shower in the summer."
Chunni curled her lips: "Do you think I'm unhygienic?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"When I'm at home, I only take a shower once a week. The rest of the time, I just wash my face and feet. I'm also trying to save water for you. I heard that water bills in the city are very expensive, often hundreds or even thousands of yuan."
“No need to save…”
"Ah? That can't be wasted. Besides, I'm so comfortable now. If I take a shower all the time, I feel like my skin will be rubbed off. People back home say that washing your skin thins it out and makes you more susceptible to illness. This way, I'm just fine. I'm healthy."
She spoke loudly and drooled.
Han Yunru didn't dare to get too close. After she spread the quilt, she said something, stopped trying to persuade him, and turned to leave.
Chunni stood at the door of the guest room, watching the woman's back as she went upstairs. She was twisting and turning, thin and frail, and looked unhealthy at first glance, but Brother Jiang seemed to like her very much...
She also complained that she didn't take a shower.
Is it smelly?
She had clearly washed her face and feet.
…
Han Yunru dragged her slightly tired steps upstairs. Jiang Fuyue was standing at the stairs, as if waiting for her.
"Yueyue? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"How can I sleep while you're still busy down there?"
Han Yunru was stunned and looked towards his and Jiang Da's bedroom. The door was ajar, and some light was leaking out, but it was not as warm as usual.
The woman suddenly smiled: "You are much more considerate than some people."
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow and imitated her tone: "Some people still need to be taught a lesson and haven't woken up yet."
After saying this, the mother and daughter exchanged a knowing look.
Jiang Fuyue had a vague feeling that her beautiful mother was playing a big game...
