Jiang the Elder left with his wife and children very quickly, as if afraid that Old Lady Jiang would regret it.
Gu An'an didn't expect the show to end so quickly. She was a little disappointed. Who doesn't like watching a good show? Especially someone else's.
She was only a step too slow when Grandma Jiang called her back.
Grandma Jiang seemed to have expected this. She didn't even glance at her eldest son's usual little house, but instead looked at Gu An'an. "Third son's wife, come in, I have something to say to you."
Gu An'an wore a polite smile, feeling embarrassed, as she had nothing to say to the old lady.
Although you don't say it, don't make your refusal too obvious.
Old Mrs. Jiang was a little embarrassed. "Do you really think I'm dead? You all ignore what I say?"
Jiang Ersao hurriedly opened the door, "Mother, please don't say that. If you hurt yourself, you'll suffer the pain yourself. Others won't see it and feel sorry for you."
Gu An'an agreed, "That's right, Second Sister-in-law, you certainly don't feel bad about it."
"Who said that?" Jiang Ersao quickly stepped forward and took her mother-in-law's arm. "Third brother's wife, don't try to sow discord here and ruin our relationship."
Gu An'an's eyes widened. "Second sister-in-law is such a considerate daughter-in-law. No wonder the old lady kept your family around to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she passed away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ersao stiffened slightly.
How could she forget that the eldest son's family had wanted to separate from the others for a long time, but the old lady had been preventing it?
As for the third son's family, they had already separated and lived separately.
From now on, won't it be their family who will have to take care of this old woman until the end?
Provide for the elderly until their death.
This word made Jiang Ersao feel as if a mountain was pressing down on her.
She took a deep breath. "Third brother's wife, don't talk nonsense. Isn't Yong'an my son? Even if we've separated the family, I'm still my mother. Are you planning to just abandon me?"
Gu An'an smiled. She couldn't control how Jiang Yong'an wanted to be his dutiful son, but she had no intention of being a daughter-in-law who "adhered to traditional virtues."
Seeing the person turn to leave without answering, Jiang Ersao became a little anxious. Just as she was about to call out to Gu An'an, she heard the old lady's strong voice beside her, "Third son's wife, there's something I've never told you. It's because I, as the mother-in-law, have some selfish motives."
He spoke cryptically, clearly trying to pique Gu An'an's interest.
However, this method was too clumsy, and Gu An'an really disliked it.
She didn't stop.
At the entrance to the main room, Old Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward, her voice rising a few decibels, "Years ago, my third son wrote to me saying he wanted to get married."
The person who reached the door frowned.
"That happened ten years ago."
Gu An'an raised an eyelid; early romance is not good.
If this were the 21st century, everyone would still be a middle school student, buried in books and endless practice problems. They wouldn't have so much time to date or get married.
Desiring peaches.
Grandma Jiang looked at the person who went straight out the door, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Jiang Ersao found this strange.
My brother-in-law is twenty-seven this year. Ten years ago, when he was seventeen or eighteen, he wanted to get married...
"Mother, do you mean that the third son has a woman he likes?"
Jiang Ersao felt that something was amiss, "Isn't Mingyi almost eleven already?"
This doesn't add up to what happened ten years ago.
It must have been at least twelve years ago.
The third child was only fifteen at that time, and she hadn't married into the family yet.
However, her husband said that their third son was taken away by a Taoist priest in the mountains when he was a child.
What can Taoist priests in the mountains do? Otherwise, they wouldn't be bringing children home year after year.
The children all look different, and it's obvious that they don't all have the same mother.
Putting aside the question of who these children's biological mothers are, the fact that they want to start a family suggests that Jiang Yong'an had someone he liked back then.
There is someone I like.
It's already troublesome enough that a man has children before marriage, but now he has a sweetheart on top of that.
Jiang Ersao's gaze towards her mother-in-law changed; she was clearly trying to upset Gu An'an.
If you are not filial to me, I will make sure your family is never at peace.
This mother-in-law has never been easy to deal with.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ersao's smile deepened. "It's getting late, Mother, you should go back to your room and rest. I'll go cook. My brother is really something, how could he just leave like that? This is his home."
Grandma Jiang pretended not to hear.
She had seen through the fact that the eldest sister was an extremely selfish person.
The second son and his wife seem shrewd, but in reality, they reveal all their little schemes, which she doesn't bother to argue with.
The only exception is the third son's family. In the past, they were easy to manipulate, but now they are hard to understand and can't be guessed.
She threw out that remark this time to see how the young couple would react.
You've forgotten your mother now that you have a wife, haven't you?
How can you just forget the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to?
...
When Gu An'an returned home, dinner was already prepared.
After washing their hands and eating, Jiang Mingzhu became more talkative at the table, mostly discussing how to arrange Jiang Mingyi's room and how to tidy up the house in the city.
With such a comment, Gu An'an's silence became quite evident.
Jiang Mingyi glanced at her worriedly, and then said about his sister, "Even eating can't shut you up."
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You're really grumpy." Jiang Mingzhu was quite oblivious at the moment. She felt that she had kindly planned things for him but was still being disliked. It was as if her good intentions had been taken for granted, and she was extremely pleased.
