"Oh, aunt, you talk a lot. I just benefited from my husband's influence."
"Hey, I often tell him that even if he doesn't like it at home, he still has to pretend to be more restrained when he's out. After all, not everyone is as harmonious as us."
"While there's nothing wrong with our love, it's not good to hurt someone's fragile self-esteem. We still need to be considerate of everyone's feelings."
"But my husband said he's not those people's father, so why should he care about their life or death? If he can't bear it, he can just hold it in. If he can't hold it in anymore, he can jump off the building or into the river. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him. I have no way to persuade my husband with this temper. How about Auntie help me persuade him? I'll invite him to dinner today, you two can meet him?"
The old lady quickly refused: "No, no, no, the Marquis of Zhennan is so busy, don't waste his time, sister, don't you agree?"
The old lady tried her best to wink at her sister, and Grandma Zhuang could only swallow her anger and nodded obediently.
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Shuyue is annoying enough, and Zhou Yunshen is a bad omen. It’s better to avoid him if possible.
The old lady didn't want to bring bad luck to herself.
The old lady started to act pretentiously again: "Yue'er, your aunt and grandmother have come from afar, I plan to let them stay here for a while, what do you think?"
Jiang Shuyue: [They?]
Huahua: [She brought her son and daughter-in-law, her eldest daughter and son-in-law, and a naughty kid. They're having afternoon tea in your backyard right now, but they haven't come over yet. You'll see them soon. They're talented people too, quite the show!]
Since Huahua said so, Jiang Shuyue must meet them, and she absolutely cannot let them live at home.
Jiang Shuyue: "Grandma, Yue'er is already married. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married is like spilled water. Naturally, I can't be the head of the Jiang family. You should ask my eldest brother and mother for their opinions."
"You kid, your father is still alive. The head of the family should be Xiao An. Why is it the turn of women and young people to make the decision?"
Grandma Zhuang smiled sourly at Jiang's mother.
Mother Jiang was not angry, she just sat there smiling like a lady from a noble family.
She was waiting, waiting for a replacement to come on stage.
Jiang Shuyue lived up to expectations and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Aunt, don't you know that my father married into the family? This house was bought by my grandfather. All the food and clothing for the Jiang family was earned by my mother's shop."
"My mother's money was left to us brothers and sisters, so my eldest brother naturally has the final say."
"Speaking of which, Dad hasn't spent a penny in twenty years, so he must have saved a lot. I'm really curious about how much money he has in his stash!"
"Grandma, do you know?"
The old lady's face was red and white, and the colors were so beautiful.
Others don't know, but she knows.
Over the years, Jiang An has either used the money to smooth relationships or to subsidize Jiang Liuli. How much is left?
Now that the shop has been taken back, I only have a little cash left, and I don’t have much money left.
She was too embarrassed to get angry in front of her sisters, so she could only bite the bullet and nod: "There should be some."
"Mom, you heard it, Daddy has some private money, you have to keep a close eye on it, people say men become bad when they have money!"
"Hey, little girl, who are you saying has turned bad? Xiao An is a well-known filial son in our village, the Wenquxing!"
Grandma Zhuang was spitting out saliva, and the old lady pretended to stop her.
She shook off the old lady's hand and shouted, "Sister, don't hold me. Today I must teach her what it means to respect elders!"
Huahua: [She talks about respecting elders, but she's completely dominated by her mother-in-law. Right after she got married, she made her move into the utility room, and later moved directly into a drafty house. In the winter, the temperature inside the house is almost the same as outside. She says it's for physical fitness.]
[Giving others leftover food, with vegetables full of bugs, yet still claiming that only vegetables with bugs in them are good, while you yourself indulge in delicious fish and meat and do nothing about household chores.]
[She once asked her mother-in-law to chop wood in the mountains. The sixty-year-old woman was almost eaten by a wolf.]
Jiang Shuyue smiled. "I also want to be as filial to my elders as my aunt. Unfortunately, my family doesn't have a shabby house, so I can't let my grandmother exercise. I also don't have blue cabbage leaves, which are vegetables that even insects won't eat. I often think that I'm being too harsh on my grandmother."
Grandma Zhuang was stunned and looked a little dumbfounded.
Only a small number of people in my hometown know these things. How could this girl know them?
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine and thought Jiang Shuyue was a little weird.
But the words were already out, and she was used to being arrogant and domineering, so she slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How dare you talk to me? You are disrespectful to the elders. Today I will..."
"Aunt Zhuang!"
Mother Jiang smiled at her and said, "First the relationship between king and subject, then father and son. Yue'er is now a noble lady. Logically, we should be polite when we see her. You'd better be tactful to avoid any trouble. My Jiang family can't protect you."
"Mother, what do you say?"
Jiang's mother's smiling face made the old lady feel cold in her heart.
She recalled the fear of being dominated by Zhou Yunshen and quickly said, "Ah, we are all family, why bother saying this? But Yue'er is also like this, how can you say this about your father?"
"If men become bad when they have money, then what would your Lordship say? He's a very wealthy man!"
Jiang Shuyue nodded and said sincerely, "It's precisely because my Lord is rich, prestigious, and has a bad temper. He's already like this, how much worse can he get?"
"He has no space, unlike my dad, who has a lot of space!"
