Xiguang Town
"Today is New Year's Day. Why don't we go to the Du family to celebrate with Sisi?" Wang Yamei looked at the date and suggested to Jiang Mingde.
Ever since their house was robbed, they have been having a hard time and have little spare money.
After a few months, when they both received some salary, they bought some simple and essential furniture for their home, such as beds and tables, to at least ensure a basic living.
But the combined salary of the two of them was not much, and since they had to make a living, they basically relied on frugality to be able to buy these things.
But compared with the Jiang family of the past, the current Jiang family can only be described as shabby. The house is empty and there are not many furniture.
I definitely can’t spend this holiday at home, I have to go out!
"If our house hadn't been robbed before, we could have called Sisi home to celebrate the holidays. Why would we have to go out?" Looking at this shabby house, Wang Yamei felt a little uncomfortable.
If this had happened in the past, with the financial situation of the Jiang family, they would not have looked down upon the Du family!
But now, they even have to curry favor with the Du family, which makes them feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingde sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and emotion.
He understood Wang Yamei's feelings. After all, the gap from former wealth to current poverty is difficult for anyone to accept.
"Forget it." He frowned. Ever since his two daughters got married, the house suddenly became quiet.
"Stop talking about that. The burglary at home has devastated us, but life must go on. Don't dwell on it. Sisi is now married to the Du family. At least she will have no worries about food and clothing. This is the best guarantee we as parents can give her right now."
He paused, as if thinking of something, and continued, "Besides, going to the Du family to celebrate the festival can't be said to be currying favor, but rather a reunion between our in-laws."
"I can also take this opportunity to have a good chat with Sisi, learn about her recent situation, and let her know about our family situation so that she can feel more at ease."
When Jiang Sisi first married into the Du family, they were still a little worried. Wang Yamei even ran to the Du family every few days, which made the Du family a little dissatisfied.
It feels like they are being treated as kidnapped children!
Although Jiang Mingde was angry with Wang Yamei when their house was first robbed, if she had not taken out Grandma Jiang's dowry in a high-profile manner and bought this and that, how could they have been robbed?
But after so long, I finally figured it out.
There is no way you can't figure it out. Life has to go on, right?
"Hmm..." She nodded and said softly, "It's decided then. We'll go to the Du family to celebrate the holiday with Sisi and give her a surprise."
…
So, the two of them started to get busy. Although they were not well off, they still tried their best to prepare some simple gifts. It would always be a bit embarrassing to visit someone empty-handed.
The Du family didn't say they were particularly enthusiastic about their arrival, but they still put on a show, and the meal was quite harmonious.
Jiang Sisi cooked all the meals, and after dinner, she was also responsible for washing the dishes. The Du family pushed the bowls aside, and no one wanted to move.
Wang Yamei: “…”
Jiang Mingde: “…”
Seeing Jiang Sisi being so diligent, the couple felt very uncomfortable. It was obvious that she didn't need to do these things when she was at home before.
"Sisi, how are you doing in the Du family? Are the people in their family good to you?" Wang Yamei was worried, so she followed him into the kitchen and asked Jiang Sisi in a low voice.
She felt sorry for Jiang Sisi. If their house had not been robbed, she would have been able to give Jiang Sisi a large dowry so that she could stand up straight in the Du family and not be bullied like now!
"It's fine." Jiang Sisi forced a smile, and it was obvious that she didn't want to make Wang Yamei worry.
But her life in the Du family was not easy. It could be seen from the fact that when the Jiang couple came, they asked her to do all the work. The Du family was too lazy to even pretend!
Li Xiujuan felt a little unhappy when she saw that Jiang Sisi took the betrothal money but did not bring back any money and had no dowry.
If the betrothal money could not be returned and Jiang Sisi had knelt down and begged to marry in, she would never let Jiang Sisi become her daughter-in-law!
Ever since Jiang Sisi got married into the Du family, all the housework was left to her, and Li Xiujuan would wake her up early and find something for her to do when she had nothing to do.
Jiang Sisi gets up earlier than the chickens in the morning and goes to bed later than the dogs at night. She lives like a cow or a horse in the Du family.
Especially now that they have been married for several months, there is still no movement in her belly. The more Li Xiujuan looks at her, the more dissatisfied she becomes and she often finds fault with her.
"It's all that bitch Jiang Yushan's fault. I asked her to send money back after she went to the army, but as a result, she only answered once after I called her several times! The rest of the time, I couldn't find her at all. It wouldn't be that you didn't even have any dowry." Wang Yamei still felt sorry for Jiang Sisi.
But the Jiang family doesn't have the conditions to take care of Jiang Sisi now, and their own lives are already tight.
Seeing her suffering in the Du family, Wang Yamei was unable to help her.
"That ungrateful bitch Jiang Yushan! If it weren't for our Jiang family raising her, she would have died long ago. How could she have joined the army and married a battalion commander to live such a good life?"
"Ever since she joined the army, she hasn't even answered the phone or sent money home. If I had known, I shouldn't have kept her. Or I could have sold her directly, at least I could have gotten some money."
The more Wang Yamei thought about it, the angrier she became. She kept cursing and didn't say a single nice word.
Now Jiang Yushan is on the island, and she can't do anything about it. Her family has no money to buy a boat ticket to the island, so she can only curse here and vent her emotions.
"Where can she get the money to send over..." Jiang Sisi couldn't help but snort coldly after hearing this.
Wang Yamei didn't know the situation, but she knew that in her previous life, Xiao Yishan had concealed the fact that he was married from her and arranged for her to live outside the staff housing complex. Apart from a little living expenses, he didn't give her much money.
I think Jiang Yushan is in the same situation now. As a mistress, how can she be qualified to answer the call from the family compound?
How could I possibly have money to send home?
Jiang Sisi thought about the miserable days she had lived after being labeled a "mistress" in her previous life, and that Jiang Yushan would soon become like her.
All the sufferings she once endured in this life will be borne by Jiang Yushan, and she will soon replace Jiang Yushan and become the wife of the richest man!
Thinking of this, Jiang Sisi couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and she felt very comfortable.
Although life is not easy now, it is only temporary. It won't be long before she can become a rich lady who is served by others and she won't have to do these things anymore.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sisi no longer felt how difficult her current life was.
