Chapter 159: Meat and Vegetable Combination
Give each other a way out.
This way, daily quarrels can be avoided.
As time goes by, maybe things will get better and better.
And now, Jiang Xin really doesn't have that much energy to quarrel with Fu's mother.
It would be better if both sides did not interfere with each other, which would be good for both of us.
And after all, the main reason Jiang Xin agreed to accept the settlement was that she didn't want to make things too awkward with Fu's mother.
After some calculations, although she has rented a house outside now, there is still some time before the school starts. If she has to wait until the landlord moves out, it is unknown how long it will take.
In this case, she still needs a place to live now.
If she had a falling out with Fu's mother and sent her to the police station, she would not be able to continue living in this house.
Besides, she is still married now, and it would be inappropriate for her to go anywhere. It would be better for her to reconcile. Mother Fu will still remember a favor from her because of this matter.
At the same time, perhaps because of this incident, Fu's mother could also realize that Jiang Xin was not the kind of soft persimmon that was easy to deal with. She believed that in the future, no matter what she did, she would be more restrained.
So, the two of them shook hands and made peace. To be honest, the only ones who got hurt in the end of this incident were Fu's mother's family.
After all, because of this incident, Fu's mother saw the true face of her family, and she would never give money to her family again.
After the two accepted the settlement, Fu's mother's sister-in-law had a very grim look on her face when she came out of the police station after taking a statement.
I was thinking that I could improve the food at home today and have a delicious meal of pork ribs, but I never expected that such a thing would happen.
It was clearly a conflict between Jiang Xin and Fu's mother, but it ended up escalating to their family, causing harm to innocent people.
Don’t even mention how unlucky their family is.
Moreover, she could also see that this time, Fu's mother had really seen through their family and no longer wanted to support them with a penny.
No matter what she said, it was of no use.
She tried to persuade and talked so much that her lips were almost worn out.
It seems that in the future, it will not be so easy to squeeze some money out of this elder sister-in-law.
I really didn't expect that someone who had been confused for so many years could be awakened by this incident.
Fu's mother's sister-in-law left the police station with a grim face, thinking that there would be another quarrel when she returned home.
Ultimately, today's incident was all her mother-in-law's fault. She had no sense of propriety when she spoke and even wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her elder sister-in-law.
After all, it was not a big deal, but because of these words from her mother-in-law, she directly offended her eldest sister-in-law and her family.
It seems that there will be no contact between the two families from now on.
Fu's sister-in-law clenched her fists and blamed all the mistakes on her mother-in-law, thinking that she would have a big quarrel with her mother-in-law when she returned home.
Just then, she wanted to quarrel, but the policeman was standing next to her, so she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to.
Now that there are no outsiders at home, she has to take care of herself and tidy up the house.
Her youngest son is not married yet, so who will be responsible for paying this money in the future?
There was a conflict between Fu's mother and her mother-in-law, and in the end, the one who was most angry was herself. It was a joke just to think about it.
After leaving the police station. Both Fu's mother and Jiang Xin were somewhat awkward.
But just now, they finally shook hands and made peace, and Fu's mother also took the initiative to apologize.
Jiang Xin thought about it and realized that it was almost dark at this time. By the time they get home, it will probably be too late to cook.
Moreover, there was not even a light in the house. If I had to cook with a kerosene lamp, it would be extremely inconvenient.
So after thinking about it, Jiang Xin said to Mother Fu and Father Fu:
"How about this, wait for us for a while. It will be late when we get home. If we cook later, it will definitely be too late."
"What happened today has already passed. From now on, we should just pretend we just met and start over."
"If you don't cause trouble for me, I won't cause trouble for you either. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant in a moment and ask for a few dishes. Then we can go home and have a good meal, and that will be considered a reconciliation."
After hearing what Jiang Xin said, Mr. and Mrs. Fu really lowered their heads in guilt.
Especially Fu's mother, she was immediately reflecting on herself, wondering if what she had done before was a bit too excessive.
After all, in Jiang Xin's opinion, it was not as bad as she thought.
She is just finding fault with others. She doesn't like others, so she wants to find fault with them.
As for Mr. Fu, his face turned red with shame. After all, in order to force Jiang Xin not to pursue the fault of Mother Fu, the words he said were really hurtful. After all, the child did nothing wrong.
But what did he do?
Father Fu thought that he was really going too far. He actually used his airs as an elder to threaten a little girl and force her to back down.
He felt ashamed.
The old couple, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
However, no matter what, things have already happened. It is too late to regret now. After all, words spoken are like water spilled, and they cannot be taken back no matter what.
Even when they were getting along, they were still a little awkward.
Especially Father Fu, he is a grown man who is very concerned about his reputation. At this moment, he is really at a loss in front of his daughter-in-law.
Jiang Xin was not blind. She naturally noticed the awkward look on the old couple's faces.
However, she was not the kind of person who was good at explaining. After all, she had been given the opportunity, and asking her to say something else would be forcing her.
So, Jiang Xin told the old couple that she was going to the state-owned restaurant to buy food, and then she left directly, telling the old couple to wait inside and she would be back soon.
After Jiang Xin left, Fu's mother and father finally realized that they had forgotten to stop Jiang Xin and asked her not to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy food, which was somewhat expensive.
After all, ever since Jiang Xin married into their family, they haven't given her a penny.
At this moment, they still have to ask others to buy food for the old couple. How can they feel at ease?
The two of them were completely immersed in their own embarrassment. By the time they reacted and wanted to call Jiang Xin, it was already too late.
I saw Jiang Xin had already run towards the state-owned hotel.
All they could do was stand there and wait for Jiang Xin to come back.
When Mrs. Fu saw Jiang Xin like this, the guilt in her heart deepened. When she thought about how she had embezzled the betrothal gift from her when she got married, she couldn't bear it.
Now, she really wanted to give Jiang Xin the money, but she had no money in her pocket.
Mother Fu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Father Fu looked at it, sighed silently, and then said:
"Jiang Xin is a good child. She will live with us and have a good life. You should stop making things difficult for her in the future."
"After all, the child's parents are both out of the province. If they are really divorced, I'm afraid there will be no one who can take care of her."
"Why not wait for our son to come back and for everyone to be well and sit down together and have a chat? If we can talk it through, it would be great for the whole family to be together and live in harmony."
Mother Fu nodded guiltily, and then fell into a long silence.
By the time Jiang Xin came back from the state-owned restaurant after buying food, nearly twenty minutes had passed.
Because it was dinner time, there were quite a lot of people in the state-owned restaurant.
But, Jiang Xin was, after all, an old customer, so when the waiter saw her, he helped her cut in line a little and asked the chef to prepare Jiang Xin's dishes first.
And she was the one who packed the food, so logically, she should be served first.
Of course, Jiang Xin was unaware of all this. When the waiter handed the prepared meal to her, she was still a little puzzled.
Jiang Xin thought, there are so many customers in this store, all waiting for their meals. While she was waiting, she took a deliberate look around.
Most of the customers' tables had no food on them. It was obvious that they had placed their orders and were waiting for the food to be served from the kitchen.
She was thinking that if her dish was to come out of the pot, she would have to wait for a while.
After all, everything has to be done on a first come first served basis. By the time her dish is cooked, more than half an hour may have passed.
Unexpectedly, the time arrived about ten minutes earlier than she expected.
It was indeed a bit of a surprise to her.
As a result, when she took the dish, the waiter raised his eyebrows at her. Jiang Xin was not a fool, so there was nothing she didn't understand. She reacted immediately.
After all, these days, she comes to this state-owned restaurant almost every day and orders two dishes.
After all, she and Lin Ye bought their employee meals from this store every day, so it was natural for the waiter to have some impression of her.
So, the clerk must have recognized her, so he let her cut in line.
Jiang Xin actually hated the behavior of cutting in line, but after all, the clerk meant well and she couldn't say anything.
And this time, everything was done unconsciously. So she didn't think too much about it, just took the food and went home.
After all, it was getting dark, and she had to take two old people with her from the town to the village, which would take a lot of time, so she had to hurry and make the most of the time.
So, Jiang Xin gave the waiter a look of gratitude.
Then, he carried the prepared food out of the state-owned restaurant and hurried to meet up with Fu's mother and father.
In fact, when Jiang Xin found out that there were so many people in the state-owned restaurant, she regretted it a little. If she had known earlier, she would have brought both Mother Fu and Father Fu into the state-owned restaurant and waited.
Otherwise, although the weather is not particularly cold now, after all, they are all so old, and it is somewhat not good for them to stand outside for more than 20 minutes. If they were inside the restaurant, the two of them could sit on stools and wait, which is better than standing.
But after all, at that time, no matter what was said, it was too late.
Anyway, she had already entered the state-owned restaurant and couldn't go out to look for them. After all, the state-owned restaurant was still some distance away from where Mr. and Mrs. Fu were waiting for him. If she went through so much trouble, the food would probably be ready by the time they came back.
Therefore, we can only pray that the chef can serve the food faster.
Fortunately, the chef served the food quickly.
When Jiang Xin returned, she found that Fu's mother and father were still waiting for her there. When they saw her come back, they immediately came forward and took away the things she was holding.
Jiang Xin lowered her head and took a look at the dish in her hand. She was a person who was always generous and open in doing things. After all, there were three people dining together, so Jiang Xin directly ordered four dishes and a soup.
Moreover, they were all meat dishes. Taking into consideration that the elderly cannot eat greasy food, she added a seaweed egg drop soup to the four meat dishes.
In this case, it can barely be considered a combination of meat and vegetables.
In fact, the weight of these dishes added together is not that heavy, not enough to require help from others.
Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the ages of both Mother Fu and Father Fu are much older than her. Jiang Xin is not shameless enough to let an old person help her carry things.
So, when Jiang Xin saw Mother Fu and Father Fu wanting to help her carry her things, she hurriedly spoke up and said:
"No, no, this stuff is nothing to me, I don't need you to help carry it."
"Let's go quickly, it's getting dark soon."
"When you walk, pay attention to your feet. If there is a big rock or something, don't step on it."
"If you wait a little longer, I'll be fine. But you two old men have bad legs and feet. If you fall, it will be terrible."
