Chapter 300: Mom, don’t you like Uncle Jiang?
Jiang Shen felt inexplicably annoyed by Zhong Xueyuan's politeness and distance. He told himself that if it were not for the sake of the two children, he would not bother to say a word to Zhong Xueyuan.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first, or the food will get cold." Jiang's mother quickly tried to smooth things over, "Niannian, go and call your brother to come and eat."
"good!"
Zhong Xueyuan had no choice but to swallow all her words back.
How could she not know the good intentions of Shen's mother, but with her status, appearing in the military district with Jiang Shen would cause unnecessary trouble.
After dinner in the evening, she took her two children back home.
Before going to bed, Zhong Niannian nestled in her mother's arms and asked in a tender voice, "Mom, don't you like Uncle Jiang?"
Zhong Xueyuan tucked the quilt in, not knowing how to answer her for a moment. She was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you like him very much?"
"Yes!" Zhong Niannian almost blurted out, "My brother and I both like Uncle Jiang very much."
Zhong Xueyuan lowered her eyes and said softly, "Then... will you miss your father?"
Speaking of her father, Zhong Xueyuan frowned, "I don't miss him. We have lived in the capital for so long, and my father has never come to see us. I hate him!"
Seeing that she had misunderstood Wei Zhihe, Zhong Xueyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak. In her heart, she actually didn't want her two children to have too many feelings for Wei Zhihe.
She knew very well that Wei Zhihe didn't care about the children that much at all.
"Nian Nian, do you like your current life?"
Zhong Xueyuan changed the subject.
Zhong Niannian looked up at her mother and blinked, "I like it! But I also miss my great-grandma, my uncle, my aunt, my aunt...Mom, when can we go home?"
Even though they live here carefree now, it is not their home after all.
Zhong Xueyuan had a hard time saying it. If they went back rashly, it would definitely alert Wei Zhihe, and then it would not be easy to get out again.
She had finally gotten rid of him, and the three of them could live a peaceful life. She didn't want to have any contact with Wei Zhihe anymore.
"When mom is not busy at work, I will take you back, okay?"
In order to appease her granddaughter, Zhong Xueyuan could only make big promises for her.
Zhong Niannian nodded, "Yes! Grandma Jiang gave me and my brother a lot of delicious food. I can't bear to eat some of them. I will give them to my aunt and others when I go back!"
The capital is the capital after all, and there are some new things that their hometowns don’t have.
Zhong Xueyuan nodded. It was almost time for her younger sister's wedding. She didn't go to her younger brother Zhong Heyang's wedding. She would feel a little bad if she didn't go this time.
But going back is also a big problem.
Zhong Xueyuan rubbed her brows and said, "Go to sleep, my brother is asleep."
Zhong Niannian turned her head to glance at her brother beside her, and suddenly felt sleepy. She hugged her mother's arms with both hands and closed her eyes obediently.
Zhong Xueyuan beside him was not sleepy at all. Siyu's illness had not progressed. The only thing to be thankful for was that he had more emotional changes than before.
This is a good thing.
The Jiang family on the other side.
Because he had to pick up and drop off the three women next door, Jiang Shen had to stay here overnight.
Jiang's mother sat in the living room, watching her son come out after washing up, and called him, "Xiao Shen, come here, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Shen was wiping his hair with a towel and walked over obediently, "What's wrong?"
Jiang's mother stared at her son intently, "Tell me the truth, what do you think of Xiaoyuan?"
Jiang Shen saw that his mother was trying to mess around with the couple again, so he stood up immediately and said, "Mom, don't do that."
"Where did I mess up?"
Jiang's mother was anxious. "You're almost forty years old. Do you want me to die without seeing you get married?"
Jiang Shen turned his back to her, full of resistance to marriage, "Here you go again, is it so important whether I can have a family or not?"
"Of course it's important!" Jiang's mother said earnestly, "You don't feel anything now that you're alone, but think about it, if I didn't have a son like you and your father divorced me, do you think I could live such a good life now?"
"When you get older, you need someone to rely on. I want you to get married because I hope someone can take care of you when you are old."
Jiang Shen disagreed, "I'm in good health and don't need anyone to take care of me when I'm old."
Mother Jiang: “…”
It was the same excuse again. She almost regretted letting her son join the army.
"I don't care! Xiaoyuan is a good girl. It's not easy for her to raise two children alone. If you are not interested in her, then find someone else and go on a blind date!"
Jiang Shen felt like his head was going to explode, "I'm not going."
"Jiang Shen, do you want to piss your mother off to death?"
Jiang's mother covered her chest with her hands, feeling very uncomfortable. She was divorced when she was young and raised her son alone.
That's why she could empathize with Zhong Xueyuan's experience.
But Zhong Xueyuan is better off than her. She is in the art troupe. She is educated and has a skill. She doesn't have to be looked down upon and excluded everywhere like she did in the past, and even having enough food to eat became a problem.
If her son hadn't been so hardworking, she wouldn't have been able to live such a good life.
Jiang Shen frowned, turned around and saw his mother acting out this scene again, and said helplessly, "Forget about the blind date."
Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Jiang's mother felt less uncomfortable and said quickly, "So, you want to try it with Xiaoyuan?"
Jiang Shen's mouth twitched slightly, "You are just randomly matching couples. What do you mean by try or not? Didn't you see her attitude? She wanted to draw a line between us and herself, for fear of causing trouble to us."
Jiang's mother said, "This shows that she is a person who knows her limits. Isn't that good? Besides, the way people get along with each other is that people's true nature is revealed by their nature."
Speaking of this, Jiang's mother couldn't help but complain again: "With your mouth, it's a sign of my inner strength that I haven't been mad at you and cried."
Jiang Shen: “…”
"Girls need to be coaxed. You usually pamper and coax Nian Nian, but why do you have a stern face when you are with her mother? Can't you talk to her nicely?"
Jiang Shen: “…”
He was so confused that he said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you are right. Can I change it?"
Glancing at the clock on the wall, he urged, "It's getting late, time to rest."
After saying that, he walked briskly into the house without looking back.
Jiang's mother looked at his unruly appearance and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard! Can't you let me be more careful!"
He is already old, and I still have to worry about his marriage.
However, when she thought that if Zhong Xueyuan really became her daughter-in-law, it would be a win-win situation.
Not only did it solve the problem of his son getting married, but his son also became a father.
There was no way. Jiang's mother almost lost her life due to a difficult labor when she gave birth to Jiang Shen. So in her eyes, giving birth is a dangerous thing that could cost lives.
She didn't care about blood inheritance at all, she just wanted her son to have someone close to him to accompany him.
When he gets old, he won't be alone.
