Chapter 82 Coaxing Grandma Chen
After Jinran finished eating the melon, she didn't pay much attention to it; she was busy to death every day.
There are so many adorable mountain produce on the mountain, I want to go home with her. And I wonder who her two unfilial sons are flirting with outside.
There are so many things to do all day, I don't have time to think about so much.
But with Da Hong actively sharing her latest information every day, Jin Ran couldn't help but want to know.
What happened? Shen Yanhong beat Huang Yuanyuan again. What happened? Shen Qing and Meng Fan both protected Huang Yuanyuan. What happened? Her aunt wouldn't give any dowry, and Huang Yuanyuan felt wronged and refused to marry. Anyway, her uncle's family became the talk of the village.
That day, Jinran went to deliver chestnuts and wild vegetables, as well as freshly roasted pine nuts and pickled eggs to Grandma Shen. Jinran mainly wanted to see if the old couple were also anxious and upset, and to talk to them and offer some advice. Her uncle's family was really too noisy.
It wasn't until Jinran saw Grandma Shen humming a little tune while drying vegetables that she realized what was happening.
Jinran said, "Her grandma will always be her grandma."
Grandma Shen asked Jinran with a smile, "Nini, what delicious treats did you bring? Why did you bring so many? Last time, the dried meat and braised food you brought made your grandpa so happy that he had to drink some with his wine every day."
Jinran was puzzled. Wasn't this something that happened a long time ago?
Then she saw the pointed heads peeking out from the tops of both walls, and there was nothing she didn't understand. This was what her grandmother was telling the neighbors.
Jinran smiled and said, "My parents aren't home, so I have to take care of them. It's what I should do. When I have the chance, I'll cook for Grandpa and Grandma. This time, I picked some mountain produce from the mountains, and I also made some pickled eggs. They'll be perfect for you and Grandpa to have with your porridge in the morning. There are also some pickled vegetables. Did you finish the ones I brought last time?"
Grandma Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not yet. Your eldest daughter-in-law won't let your grandfather and me eat too much, saying that we're getting old and can't eat too much salty food, we have to eat in moderation. In my whole life, I haven't enjoyed any filial piety from my son and daughter-in-law, but my granddaughter's filial piety is just as good. Sigh... not all granddaughters are like that. If you don't want to be filial to your elders, then don't come here to take advantage of them. What kind of people are they?"
Jinran said, "Why don't we just say Shen Yanhong's name directly?"
Grandma Shen held Jinran's empty hand and led her into the house. Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, the eldest aunt and second aunt went home.
After my aunt returned to her room, she became increasingly angry. The old woman was practically pointing her finger at us and cursing us for being unfilial. But we were all too busy with our own affairs to care for the elderly.
The eldest aunt thought angrily, "They really don't care about them at all. They shouldn't expect their family to take care of them in their old age."
After Jinran followed Grandma Chen back into the house, she asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Did you tell my aunt and Auntie Erbi?"
Grandma Chen sneered and said disdainfully, "Yesterday, both families came to me begging for money, saying they were having financial difficulties. Your eldest aunt was practically begging for money, saying that she was short of funds because her two children were getting married. She said that we could help raise the second wife's child, so why couldn't we help them? Your second aunt was even more ridiculous, saying that her family needed to build a house and didn't have the money. She asked me to help out. It's clear that she doesn't want to pay it back."
Your eldest sister is a very calculating person. Yesterday, as soon as her mother mentioned borrowing money, she went straight to your second uncle and asked her father if he was going to take advantage of us old folks until he was completely drained. She said we've already done more than enough by supporting them and even pushing them to go to school; what more do they want in return for having some self-respect and not asking us for anything? It's tough being a child with parents like that. Your second uncle beat up your second aunt, but I don't think it did any good. She's still a leopard that can't change its spots.”
Jinran experienced the bizarre atmosphere of her extreme relatives for the first time, and inexplicably missed her mother. Her mother was simply a super weapon of mass destruction, the kind that would accept anyone who came her way.
Jinran didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only act silly to amuse her grandmother. Afterwards, Grandma Shen asked about her brothers, "I heard that both of your brothers passed the exam? Your father is unreliable. It's been so long since he gave us any news. Why did I raise my sons? They're all so annoying."
Mr. Shen, who was looking at houses in the county, sneezed uncontrollably. He muttered to himself, "It must be Nini missing me."
Jinran smiled and said to Grandma She, "The best thing about my dad is that he found my mom and then had us. Grandma, don't be angry with them. I'll take care of you and Grandpa from now on, and take you and Grandpa to travel around. We can go wherever we want."
Grandma Shen was so pleased with herself that her eyes crinkled with joy. She was overjoyed.
