Chapter 329 The Real Purpose, Starting a Cold War (Part 1)
Jiang Da and Han Yunru looked at each other.
"Third brother, what's the matter?"
Jiang Teng: "As you know, Mom was sick a while ago. Although she has been discharged from the hospital, she is still in a wheelchair and needs someone to take care of her."
"We had previously agreed to pool our money to hire a nanny for Mom, but Mom caught this nanny stealing from the house, and she was ultimately fired by my second sister-in-law. This whole thing is really upsetting, and Mom doesn't want to hire another nanny anymore. Who knows if the next one will be the same?"
If you don't hire a nanny but still need someone to take care of you, then what's next?
Jiang Teng: "Originally, my second brother and I wanted Mom to be taken care of by our three families in turn. Xiaoqin is a married woman and has her own parents-in-law to take care of, so she doesn't count. But Mom doesn't think it's a good idea..."
Han Yunru frowned.
The three families took turns caring for her, and she had no objection to that. It was the children's obligation to support their elders. Before, the old lady hadn't taken the initiative to ask them, and she and Jiang Da hadn't taken the initiative to take on the responsibility either. They only shared part of the cost of her last hospitalization.
Now that the old lady has taken the initiative to ask for our turn in support, we cannot refuse in any way, otherwise it would be considered unfilial.
Han Yunru was very clear about this, so she accepted it calmly.
But...from what Jiang Teng said, it seemed that the old lady's request went beyond that and she had other ideas.
really--
Jiang Teng: "Mom feels very guilty and remorseful after being separated from Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law for over ten years, and she blames herself for not caring about them. Now she's trying hard to make amends, so she's decided not to rotate anymore and live with you guys regularly. This way, I can at least make up for the lost time. I just don't know if Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law agree to this."
Han Yunru: “…”
Jiang Da: “?”
This idiot probably didn't understand yet.
Jiang Teng: "Of course, my second brother and I will not forget our obligations. We will each contribute 1,500 yuan as living expenses for Mom. However, my eldest sister-in-law may have to take care of her daily life."
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
Jiang Xiaodi tugged at his sister's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you going to live with us?"
Jiang Fuyue: "She wants to."
As for whether it can succeed...it depends on Jiang Da and Han Yunru.
Jiang Xiaodi seemed to understand, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought about his grandmother living with them.
Han Yunru did not speak immediately, but left the opportunity to express her opinion to Jiang Da, the head of the family.
Jiang Da subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife, but what he saw was his wife's slightly cold profile, and his heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Teng: "Brother, can you please say something? Do you agree or disagree?"
Does he dare to disagree?
Disagreeing is unfilial, but if you agree...
"Mom, Ah Ru and I still have to run the shop. We go out early and come back late every day, so we rarely spend time at home..."
What I mean is, I don’t have time to take care of you!
The old lady, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in understanding, "This is indeed a problem." The next second, she suddenly changed the subject, "But I've made up my mind. Let Chunni from my hometown take care of you. I, an old lady, won't cause you any more trouble. Go ahead and pursue your career."
Jiang Da was stunned.
Han Yunru had her eyelids drooped, and her specific emotions couldn't be seen.
The old lady acted as if she hadn't noticed and said with a smile, "You still remember Chunni? She's your aunt's niece. You should call her cousin. When we were little, I even played the bride for you. Do you remember?"
Jiang Da's scalp was numb, and he kept staring at Han Yunru, and cold sweat broke out, but the latter didn't even glance at him.
"Mom, it was a long time ago. I forgot about it!"
Jiang Fuyue sat in his seat with his arms folded across his chest, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Jiang Xiaodi was confused and said, "Sister, why does Dad look so nervous?"
"Because—he's in trouble."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old lady wanted to live in the villa and rely on them.
Making up for the past and feeling guilty are just excuses.
Sometimes she doesn't want the nanny to take care of her, and sometimes she wants Chunni to take care of her.
Since someone is taking care of you, why don’t you live in your own home?
The old lady said this, which showed that she was well prepared, and Jiang Da had to agree even if he disagreed.
As for Han Yunru, she has no right to say anything.
"Okay! That's settled then," Jiang Teng beamed, and quickly greeted Liu Shuting, "It's getting late, so we'll leave first. Brother, sister-in-law, I'll leave Mom in your care!"
Jiang Qin put down the bulging bag in her hand. "There's a change of clothes in it, and I brought the medicine too. The instructions and dosage are all on the paper. I'll be heading back now."
Yang Jinqiu: "Mom, you can just stay here with big brother and sister-in-law. I will bring Cancan to visit you some other day."
Soon, the four left.
The old lady sat in a wheelchair and raised her hand to call Han Yunru: "Eldest wife, come here and push me around. This place is quite big. We will live here from now on, so we have to get familiar with the place first..."
Han Yunru lowered her brows and stepped forward.
He didn't even look at Jiang Da the whole time.
In other words, Jiang Da was just a decoration. Even when it came to the issue of whether the old lady should stay, Jiang Teng decided the matter with just a few words without his consent.
If a person is too naive, at best he is "simple" and "honest"; at worst he is "weak" and "gullible".
Did anyone ask Jiang Da for his opinion?
Yes. Jiang Teng asked, but he didn't need to express his opinion.
Han Yunru simply didn't even ask because she knew Jiang Da too well.
At this time, he and Jiang Fuyue and his sister were the only ones left in the huge dining room.
"Dad, I'm going up first."
Jiang Xiaodi followed closely behind: "I'm going up too."
Jiang Da moved his lips, looking at his daughter and son leaving with a blank look in his eyes.
Did he do something wrong?
That night, the guest room downstairs was cleaned up and Old Mrs. Jiang moved in.
Han Yunru first cleaned the room, made the bed, and put the luggage away. Finally, she helped the old lady take a bath, change clothes, and even handed her water for taking medicine.
But Mrs. Jiang was still not satisfied: "The water is a little cold."
"I'll give you another cup..."
"No, just make do with it this time and be more careful next time."
Han Yunru lowered her eyes and hummed softly.
"Also, this quilt smells musty. Let's wait until the sun comes out tomorrow and put it on the balcony to dry."
"good."
"The bedside lamp is too bright. It's giving me a headache. Change it to a lower wattage one."
"good."
"I'll have porridge for breakfast tomorrow. It's thin porridge. It's too hard to digest."
Han Yunru responded one by one.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask," the old lady casually mentioned, "where did you get the money to buy the villa? Are you relying on Chen Xing to do that live broadcast?"
Han Yunru responded without saying anything more.
The old lady's eyes turned cold and she snorted, "Why, are you still hiding it? Are you afraid that others will find out?"
Han Yunru remained silent.
"Isn't that some unorthodox way of getting the money?"
This was a test, but Han Yunru still didn't respond.
The old lady was furious: "Are you throwing a tantrum at me? Now that the eldest brother is away, you've shown your true colors? I'm telling you, no matter how I treated the eldest brother before, I'm still his biological mother. He's such an honest and simple man, there's no way he'd ignore me, so you'd better be sensible."
Han Yunru: "Did he give me the gate card?"
The old lady's eyes flashed with pride: "Of course, my son still misses me."
Although she had expected this, Han Yunru still felt a little disappointed at this moment.
Jiang Da didn't discuss this with her.
Last time, the old lady was sick and stayed at home for two days, then went back to the hospital.
Jiang Da probably gave the card out at that time.
Seeing her dim eyes, the old lady looked like a victorious hen, with pride written all over her mean triangular eyes.
"From now on, I am the head of this family. You'd better understand this."
Han Yunru laughed, mockingly: "You should go to bed early."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Don't forget to close the door.
The old lady's heart choked. She clearly had the upper hand, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Upstairs, bedroom.
Han Yunru returned to her room looking tired. She put on her pajamas and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out, Jiang Da was sitting on the edge of the bed. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he stood up and smiled at her ingratiatingly.
"Wife..."
Han Yunru glanced at him, just one glance, then walked to the dressing table and began to dry her hair in front of the mirror.
Jiang Da stepped forward and took the towel: "You've worked hard today, let me do it."
Han Yunru didn't stop her either.
After drying their hair, the couple lay on the bed. Han Yunru turned over and faced away from him.
Jiang Da felt depressed. In the darkness, he asked, "Wife, are you angry?"
Han Yunru: “No.”
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"tired."
"...Oh. Then go to bed early."
"Um."
Han Yunru really fell asleep.
As for when Jiang Da fell asleep, perhaps only he himself knows.
