Chapter 100 Jasmine is not at home today
"Shall I pick up Daya and Erya?" Mother Yang really wanted to rub her ears, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"Forget about picking up Daya and Erya. Even letting Daya and Erya eat at your place is what we should do," Miao Guifeng said. "Daya and Erya are your granddaughters. You haven't taken good care of them. Do you act like a grandmother?"
"I……"
"No grandmother is like you," Miao Guifeng said. "If you treat them well, they'll treat you well in the future. If you treat them so badly, don't expect them to treat you well in the future. Do you understand gender equality? Don't always think about your grandchildren."
Miao Guifeng didn't think she favored sons over daughters. If she did, she wouldn't have given birth to three daughters. She still chose to give birth to three daughters. She treated them well enough. If it weren't for her, her three daughters wouldn't have been able to come into this world.
"You only care about Yang Bingliang's child every day, but not Yang Bingrong's. Both Yang Bingrong and Yang Bingliang are your biological sons," Miao Guifeng said. "Old woman, don't go too far."
"..." Mother Yang was furious. Miao Guifeng always criticized her. If she wasn't afraid of Miao Guifeng going crazy, she would have scolded her a few more times. "We've already separated, they should eat at your house."
"Yang Bingliang owes us so much money, but he refuses to pay it back. Our daughter's meal at your place should be considered as your repayment," said Miao Guifeng.
"You... I can pick them up, but as for eating, you'll have to figure it out on your own." Mother Yang couldn't let Daya and Erya eat at her place. If she did, Lu Dongxiang and her husband would say something. All Mother Yang could do was pick them up from school. Miao Guifeng hadn't let Mother Yang pick up her eldest son; Yang Bingrong had to go pick them up himself.
It wasn't that Yang Bingrong couldn't take on two more children; Miao Guifeng just wanted Yang's mother to do more. Why did Yang's mother help Yang Bingliang and his wife but not her own family? Her own family wasn't bad either; it was clearly Yang's mother who was bad.
"Okay." Miao Guifeng said, as long as Yang's mother can do something, that's enough.
The students have started school, but Jiang Moli is still very busy. During the summer vacation, many parents brought their children to see Jiang Moli sing. Parents like what they like and want their children to like it. Some children really like Jiang Moli's singing.
Jiang Moli was doing well, so she had to go to other cities to perform. The round trip would take up an entire day.
The day before leaving for another city, Jiang Moli took a closer look at the baby.
"Mom, I'm going out tomorrow morning and won't be back until midnight." Jiang Moli said, "It's far from home. I have a performance in that city later, so it's a side trip."
Since the journey takes over two hours, close to three, the company has everyone go there by bus in the morning and then arrange a bus to pick them up in the evening. Of course, if someone isn't comfortable going earlier, that's fine, and the company will arrange accommodations. However, many people prefer to go and return the same day, as the performances in that city aren't two consecutive days, but rather staggered across different groups.
The company has also booked a hotel, staggered the different groups, and provided everyone with a place to rest. Those who want to go home can go, and those who don't can rest for a while. The company has arranged transportation so everyone can return when the time comes. The company should keep a clear list of personnel and arrange transportation.
Jiang Moli is currently focusing on performing her new play and hasn't been seen in other productions, which are currently being performed by other groups. Jiang Moli's new play has been very popular, so she's only performing it once this time, with subsequent weekend performances in other cities.
The leaders posted the performance schedule so that everyone could prepare.
Jiang Moli brought the itinerary back to show her mother and others. If she was not at home, someone would have to take care of the baby at home. Jiang Moli knew that her mother would take good care of the baby, but she was afraid that the baby would cry. If Jiang Moli was out for too long, she was worried that the baby would not be able to adapt.
"Wasn't it the same when you performed before?" Jiang's mother said, "For the little baby, you were always outside."
"..." Jiang Moli thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. She lowered her head to look at the baby.
"When the time comes, give him your clothes. When he sees your clothes and smells like you, he'll calm down and stop crying." Jiang's mother said, "Don't get too tired. If you need to rest over there, you should rest for a while. Don't rush back. The road is not nice at night."
"The roads here are okay, they're all relatively flat. If it's a mountain road, it's very difficult to drive. There are so many turns, and drivers are a little scared to drive at night." Jiang Moli said, "We're not going to such a place. The land in our province is very flat, and the roads are easy to drive on. Mom, you don't have to worry too much."
"If it happens to you, the probability is 100%." Jiang's mother said, "It's always a good idea to pay attention."
"Okay." Jiang Moli nodded.
"Let the driver go over." Sheng Jiahao said.
"No need, just follow the main group." Jiang Moli said, "If you want to pick us up, have the driver go to our unit. The car will stop at our unit first. The car is not close to us, and the unit is closer, so it will stop there first."
If there were people going the same way, they would get off first. The rest of the group, scattered across the city, would either wait for the driver to take them slowly or go home individually. Going home individually would be faster, as the driver would have to pick them up one by one, which would be slower. Some people lived in work dormitories, allowing the driver to pick up more people.
"Okay." Sheng Jiahao said, "If you have anything, call me anytime."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli said, "Look at the baby more."
"I'll look at him." Sheng Jiahao said. Ever since he and his wife had a child, his wife always talked about this child.
Sheng Jiahao couldn't help but sigh, the baby is still very important, extremely important. Sheng Jiahao thought about it and it was true, the baby is the fruit of his and his wife's love, he really has to be nice to the child.
Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Jiang Moli asked the driver to take her to the workplace, where she met up with everyone else. Jiang Moli then boarded the company's car and followed everyone to another city.
"Are you planning to come back in the evening too?" Qiao Yuwei asked Jiang Moli as she sat next to her.
"Yes, I'll be back in the evening." Jiang Moli said, "I'm worried about the child at home, so it's better to come back early. I don't have any scenes tomorrow, so I don't have to stay there."
"I have scenes to film tomorrow and can't come back early," said Qiao Yuwei.
Some people have fewer roles, so they are in two groups instead of one. Qiao Yuwei is like this. She is doing better now than before, at least she has more roles.
Qiao Yuwei was also willing to stay in both groups. If she didn't stay in both groups, her bonus would be much less. Qiao Yuwei has children at home, so she still hopes to make more money. What Qiao Yuwei can do is to earn more money and perform more. Qiao Yuwei's mother-in-law will help take care of the children, and Qiao Yuwei can spend more time outside.
"You're working hard." Jiang Moli sighed.
"It's better for you to work hard." Qiao Yuwei said, "You have less scenes, so you can rest more."
"You can't leave early either." Jiang Moli said, "You still have to wait for the curtain call."
"If you're not on stage, you're just resting." Qiao Yuwei said, "Standing on stage all the time is really tiring. It's really hard for you to stand on stage and sing for so long. And you have to rush back, which makes it even more tiring."
"There's nothing going on over there," Jiang Moli said. "There's only one show in two days."
Jiang Moli and others don't need to stay in that city all the time. If it is a city farther away, they will just stay there for a few more days.
"It's better to do it continuously, but it's tiring too." Qiao Yuwei said, "It's hard to do it anyway."
"It doesn't matter what, just follow the company's arrangements. We don't need to worry about so many things. We can't worry about it all." Jiang Moli said, "Close your eyes and have a good rest."
"Okay." Qiao Yuwei said.
Jiang Moli closed her eyes. It would take some time to get there. If she closed her eyes for a while, she would feel more comfortable. If she kept staring at the scenery outside and counting the time, time would pass very slowly.
After Jiang Moli went on a business trip, Teacher Lu came over to see the baby.
"Moli will be away for a while, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child." Teacher Lu said in front of Jiang's mother.
"It's not a problem. I'm the child's grandmother and it's my responsibility to take care of him," Jiang's mother said. "If you're troubling me, isn't that troubling you as well?"
"I don't come here often, and you're the one who mainly takes care of him." Teacher Lu said, "Baby, little baby."
Teacher Lu looked at the baby, who had just finished drinking milk. Seeing that the baby was being taken care of so well, Teacher Lu felt much more at ease.
Recently, Second Sister Sheng was planning to move to a larger apartment, as her current one was quite small. Second Sister Sheng's family had some money, but not too much, so she came to ask Sheng Jiahao for a loan. When Second Sister Sheng arrived, Teacher Lu was babysitting the children. Seeing Second Sister Sheng, Teacher Lu was a little puzzled, wondering why her daughter had come at such a time.
"Moli is on a business trip," Teacher Lu said. "She'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"She's on a business trip?" Second Sister Sheng was surprised. "Oh, I didn't even notice."
This is not the fault of Second Sister Sheng. Jiang Moli didn't show her the schedule, so how could Second Sister Sheng know Jiang Moli's schedule? Second Sister Sheng didn't keep an eye on Jiang Moli's performances all day long, and she was busy with her own things.
"I was wondering if Jasmine had a break since she's so busy." Second Sister Sheng looked at Jiang's mother and said truthfully, "Well, we're planning to move to a new house, but we're short of money, so we'd like Jiahao to lend us some. We'll pay you back when we have more money."
"Brothers and sisters should help each other." Jiang's mother said. Jiang Moli lent money to Zhao Guodong to buy a house, so it was completely reasonable for Sheng's second sister to borrow money from Sheng Jiahao to buy a house.
"Do you want to move houses?" Teacher Lu looked at his daughter.
"Yes, the children are growing up, so we need to move to a bigger house." Sister Sheng said, "We don't dare to borrow money from others. If we are not careful, others will think we are asking for bribes."
Second Sister Sheng's husband works in the judicial system and does a good job. Second Sister Sheng and her husband are always very careful not to fall into traps. To lure them into these traps, those people will scheme all sorts of things, like offering them cheap houses or even giving them away. Second Sister Sheng and her husband naturally can't just accept a free house; they have to buy it themselves. Even if someone sells them a house cheaply, they still have to check the market price; if they sell it below market value, that's not acceptable.
"How much is the difference? Why don't you ask me and your dad?" Teacher Lu said.
"You're so old now, that money should be saved for your retirement." Second Sister Sheng said, "It's not nice for me to borrow money from you. Aren't you afraid that I won't pay it back?"
Borrowing money from parents might mean that you won’t be able to pay it back in the end. Second Sister Sheng knew her parents had some money, but she still didn’t plan to borrow from them, as Sheng Jiahao had the most money.
"Your daughter is concerned about you." Jiang's mother said with a smile, "It's like this. Your parents are old and have less money."
Teacher Lu is also at retirement age, but he is still employed and still teaches students at the school. Teacher Lu and his wife have a lot of money, but they also have many children, three in total, so they don't need much help from Teacher Lu and his wife.
"If I had known Jasmine wasn't home today, I wouldn't have come here," said Second Sister Sheng. "Next time, I'll call first."
"No need to call first, you can come anytime." Jiang's mother said, "Moli is not here, Jiahao is at the company. When Jiahao comes back, you two can talk about it."
"Moli doesn't know about it, does she?" Second Sister Sheng said, "They still have to discuss it with their husband and wife, right, Mom?"
Second Sister Sheng looked at Teacher Lu. She hadn't thought of asking her brother for money. She was borrowing money from him openly and honestly. She wasn't doing it secretly or in a shady way. Second Sister Sheng believed that Jiang Moli would definitely agree. It was impossible for Jiang Moli to disagree. It was just a question of how much money to borrow.
"You understand now," Teacher Lu said. "Your brother is getting married. It's not like before. Don't think that only your brother knows and your sister-in-law doesn't know. That's not appropriate. They both need to know."
"Look, my mother-in-law knows about it too." Second Sister Sheng said, "Now that she knows, it's all good."
"That's all right," said Jiang's mother. She was very satisfied with what Teacher Lu and Second Sister Sheng had said. It was true that couples should discuss things. In fact, with matters like this, just letting everyone know would make everyone understand and feel happy. They wouldn't feel like outsiders. "Which house have you set your sights on?"
"There's a house near my husband's workplace," said Second Sister Sheng. "There are a few nice houses over there. We've taken a fancy to one of them, a single-family house, but it's expensive. If we only have the money we have, we won't be able to buy it. We'll have to contact Jiahao, and we'll have to borrow a lot of money."
"You two can discuss how much money to borrow." Jiang's mother didn't care about these things. Her son-in-law's money was not her money. As a mother-in-law, it was already very good for her to live here. It was not good for her to think about other things.
When Sheng Jiahao came back, he heard that his sister wanted to borrow money, but he naturally couldn't lend her money. It was just that Sheng Jiahao's family didn't have that much cash, and he left his passbook with Jiang Moli, so he didn't have much money left.
Sheng Jiahao's expenses weren't usually large, and sometimes the company reimbursed him, so he could still put them in his account. When he wasn't shopping with Jiang Moli, he wouldn't carry much money. He didn't keep much cash at home, so he would withdraw it when he needed it.
"We have to wait for Jasmine to come back." Sheng Jiahao said, "The passbook is with Jasmine."
"You don't have a separate passbook?" asked Sister Sheng.
The brother and sister were in the study, while Jiang's mother and others were not there.
"Yes." Sheng Jiahao said, "There's not much money in it. I didn't put too much money in it."
What's more, Sheng Jiahao still has a use for the money, and Second Sister Sheng has a lot of money, so he has to take money out of Jiang Moli's passbook.
"I know where the passbook is and I know the password. But Jasmine and I have already agreed that for large sums of money, we have to discuss it and can't withdraw money secretly." Sheng Jiahao said, "Are you guys in a hurry to buy a house? Jasmine will be back tonight, and I have to tell her tomorrow."
Jiang Moli came back too late at night. Sheng Jiahao didn't want to disturb Jiang Moli's rest, so it would be better to wait until the next day to ask Jiang Moli.
"Okay." said Second Sister Sheng.
"Moli will not refuse." Sheng Jiahao said. He was afraid that Second Sister Sheng would misunderstand Jiang Moli.
"I know." Second Sister Sheng nodded. "Moli is good. You're still worried that I'll misunderstand her. Even if I misunderstand you, I won't misunderstand her. Moli is so kind. Before she married you, she called me sister. She will definitely give you the money."
Second Sister Sheng would pay back the money and had good character, so Jiang Moli naturally couldn't say she wouldn't lend money to Second Sister Sheng.
It was already early morning when Jiang Moli got home, which was considered fast. Some people were dawdling over there taking off their makeup, but their bosses didn't even let them finish before letting them get in the car. If they were too slow, they could just go home and do it later. If they were going back at night, they could hurry up.
By the time Jiang Moli finished washing up, it was already late. Sheng Jiahao did not tell Jiang Moli about her second sister, but waited until noon the next day before telling her.
"Yes, you have to lend it." Jiang Moli said, "Hurry up and lend it to my second sister."
"The passbook is with you." Sheng Jiahao said.
"The passbook is at home. You know where it is, and you also know the password." Jiang Moli said.
"I still need to tell you something." Sheng Jiahao said, "This is our family's money, not just mine. My second sister also said that I need to tell you something."
"They have to borrow it. Second sister is such a good person. It's time for them to move." Jiang Moli had been to Second Sister Sheng's house.
Second Sister Sheng is older and married young, so she has more than one child at home. As her child grows older, he or she needs his or her own room, with plenty of space.
Jiang Moli didn't go to Sheng Erjie's house every day, nor did she pay much attention to Sheng Erjie's family affairs. She felt that Sheng Erjie should move house as soon as possible.
"Change houses sooner and enjoy life sooner." Jiang Moli said, "Her parents-in-law are still living in the original house, so just keep it."
Jiang Moli didn't think of asking Second Sister Sheng to sell the original house, and maybe she didn't think of selling the original house either. Jiang Moli didn't care about those things. The money was earned by Sheng Jiahao, and Jiang Moli earned less.
"Which house should we buy?" Jiang Moli asked, "We'll lend them the money. We've already lent them the money, so they don't have to borrow from anyone else. Big brother and sister-in-law don't earn as much as you do."
Jiang Moli had no objection. Even if Sheng Jiahao hadn't told Jiang Moli about this money, she wouldn't be unhappy.
"Go get the money and give it to my second sister," Jiang Moli said. "Send the money over as soon as possible. I won't go over now. I'm too tired."
Jiang Moli first considered her own health. After being busy for so long, she needed to have a good rest. She had to continue performing later and couldn't stay at home all the time.
"Okay, I'll go over there, you don't have to go." Sheng Jiahao said.
"You'll go in a while." Jiang Moli said, "Good houses don't wait. If my second sister finds a house she likes and the price is right, she can buy it. A bigger house would be nice so her parents-in-law can live with them. The original house can be rented out, which is also good. Even if my second sister's parents-in-law don't live with them and live in the original house, that's fine too. Buy a house quickly. Based on the current trend, we don't know how high the housing prices will rise in the future. Generally speaking, housing prices are still rising."
"Yeah." Sheng Jiahao nodded.
"After I finish my meal and look after the kids, I need to go to sleep for a while," Jiang Moli said.
"Go to sleep." Sheng Jiahao said, "I'll take care of this."
Sheng Jiahao sent the money to his second sister that afternoon. His second sister didn't expect Sheng Jiahao to be so fast.
"Did you tell Jasmine as soon as she came back? You didn't disturb her rest, did you?" asked Second Sister Sheng.
"She told me to send the money to you as soon as possible at noon today," Sheng Jiahao said. "She said that if you need to borrow money from others, you don't have to look for others, just come to us directly. The money you owe us is enough, so there's no need to bother."
"I didn't ask my eldest brother and his wife for money. They're also short on cash. If I really asked, they would have lent me some money." Second Sister Sheng said, "I just hope you'll have more money, so I came to borrow money from you."
"Buy a better house." Sheng Jiahao said, "You can keep the house you live in now."
"I plan to keep it." Second Sister Sheng said, "If I sell the house in a hurry, I won't get a good price. It's better to keep the house."
Second Sister Sheng and her husband had already decided that keeping this house would be useful, not useless. They were moving to a new house because they wanted to make their family live more comfortably. They had saved enough money to buy a smaller house, but they didn't have enough money, so they had to borrow money.
When Sheng's second brother-in-law returned home, Sheng Jiahao had already gone home. When Sheng's second sister saw the piles of money on the table, she knew that it was Sheng Jiahao who sent the money.
"They really are so quick to send the money over," said Second Sister Sheng. "If they were two days late, we wouldn't have said anything to them."
Second Sister Sheng had a smile on her face, she was very happy. Jiang Moli had nothing to say to them. Although most of the money was earned by Sheng Jiahao, if Jiang Moli was unwilling to lend them so much money, Sheng Jiahao would also listen to Jiang Moli. Some other brothers were like this. They said they listened to their wives, but in fact, they themselves were unwilling to lend so much money. They wanted to keep the money for themselves, fearing that others would not pay it back.
After Jiang Moli woke up, she did not go to work, waiting to go to work tomorrow. Jiang Moli went to hug the child to let the child know that her mother was back.
"You are really busy. You are busy with performances and you also have to take care of the children." Jiang's mother sighed.
"I still have to see the child." Jiang Moli said, "If I don't see him, he will easily forget me."
"It's only been a short time. How could he forget so quickly?" Jiang's mother said, "If you were gone for a longer time, maybe he wouldn't remember you."
"I've been out a lot lately," Jiang Moli said. "If you hadn't taken care of the children, I wouldn't be able to relax like I do now."
"You should thank your parents-in-law. They are very considerate of you." Jiang's mother said.
Teacher Lu and the others didn't say anything bad about Jiang Moli, but if it were someone else, they would have said something bad.
He Jingxian went out to film and did not go home. When Qi's mother went to Qi Shixin's place, she started to criticize He Jingxian.
"She's out all day and doesn't care about the child after she gave birth." Qi's mother said with a cold face, "It's outrageous that you have to take care of the child by yourself."
Qi's mother wondered how her youngest son had ever lived through such hardship. He Jingxian had changed a lot since giving birth to her third child. She used to work more often, which was fine—at least she'd come home at night. But now, she was out all day and all night, never coming home.
Such a daughter-in-law made Qi's mother very dissatisfied.
"What about you? You are stupid too. You really just take care of the child foolishly." Qi's mother said.
"I still have to take care of my own child." Qi Shixin couldn't afford to hire a nanny to look after his child. He had to work and take care of his child. When Qi Shixin went to work, his mother took care of the child.
"You..." Mother Qi didn't know what to say. With He Jingxian's current condition, Mother Qi was worried that something else would happen in the future.
"Mom, I can take care of the child, too," Qi Shixin said, "but it will be more troublesome for you."
"I'm fine, I came over to help out." Qi's mother said, "He Jingxian is just too independent."
"Let her do whatever she wants." Qi Shixin no longer had any hope for He Jingxian. It didn't matter whether He Jingxian stayed at home or outside. Qi Shixin couldn't care less, and He Jingxian wouldn't listen to Qi Shixin. If Qi Shixin could convince He Jingxian, she wouldn't be like this now.
Seeing her son's attitude, Qi's mother couldn't help but say, "I shouldn't have agreed to you being together in the first place. Things have turned out like this."
"Mom, these three children are my biological children, so I have to take care of them." Qi Shixin said. He wanted a son, but his daughter was also his biological daughter, so he couldn't help but take care of her.
Qi Shixin is a responsible person. People around him find it unbelievable. They originally thought that Qi Shixin could not take good care of the child, but now, Qi Shixin takes good care of the child, while He Jingxian does not spend more time on the child.
"Forget it, let's not talk to her." Qi's mother said, "It's useless to talk to her. She won't come back to take care of the children."
Qi's mother thought that if He Jingxian really became popular after starring in a few more TV series, it was still unclear what she would do. If it weren't for her family's relationship, He Jingxian wouldn't be able to have it so easy. But now, nothing the Qi family said would be of any use.
"What will you do if she wants to divorce you in the future?" Qi's mother stopped talking and said another sentence.
"If she wants a divorce, then divorce her," Qi Shixin said. What else could he do? He Jingxian's heart was no longer at home, so nothing he said would work. All Qi Shixin could do was take good care of the child.
Sometimes, Qi Shixin felt that he was constantly repeating the same words and the same things. Every day was the same, repetitive, and there was no freshness.
Before Qi Shixin got married, his life was more exciting. After getting married, his life gradually became what it is now. Qi Shixin couldn't escape. He couldn't just leave the child to He Jingxian. Before, Qi Shixin took the child to He Jingxian's workplace, but He Jingxian just didn't want to take care of the child. No matter what Qi Shixin did, it was useless. He Jingxian had already made up her mind.
He Jingxian was on the set, and she didn't think much about her three daughters. She heard from the crew that some people were going abroad to film. He Jingxian wondered if going abroad was really that good.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. He Jingxian wrote down what others said.
He Jingxian tossed and turned at night, wondering if her TV series would be any good? Would anyone like her? She played a vicious sister-in-law whose words were harsh and whose clothes weren't particularly attractive. He Jingxian asked the makeup artist to make her look prettier, but the artist said her character was like that and couldn't be made too pretentious.
He Jingxian thought about the scenes where Jiang Moli appeared in TV dramas. Jiang Moli was always made up and looked very beautiful. He Jingxian wished that she would be chosen for a costume drama. She could act in costume dramas very well, no worse than Jiang Moli. He Jingxian thought about many things, but she didn't think about her daughter. Her daughter was a burden to her. She was a burden to her.
More than two weeks later, Second Sister Sheng bought a house that was already renovated. Second Sister Sheng and her husband had it cleaned and bought some furniture, but they didn't bother with any new renovations. They felt the house was just fine, and they didn't need to spend too much money. They'd already borrowed money to buy it, so there was no need to go to any extra trouble.
When Big Brother Sheng learned that Second Sister Sheng was buying a house, he gave her some money, but Second Sister Sheng refused to accept it. Second Sister Sheng directly told Big Brother Sheng that Sheng Jiahao and his wife had borrowed all the money: Big Brother, Jiahao and Jasmine have money, and Jasmine also said that it’s okay to borrow from them. It’s easier to remember the money owed to one family.
In this way, Brother Sheng took the money back. Sister Sheng knew about this and felt that Jiang Moli was easy to talk to. Sister Sheng didn't want to lend money to Second Sister Sheng. First, they didn't know about it before, and second, they were short of money themselves.
Jiang Moli and the others also went to Second Sister Sheng's house for a meal. A big house is good, and everyone standing there doesn't seem crowded. Second Sister Sheng's house is not as big as Sheng Jiahao and his wife's, but it is not bad either, at least there are many rooms.
Second Sister Sheng didn't think about competing with Sheng Jiahao. There was no way. Sheng Jiahao was a businessman, and he made a lot of money. High risk, high return.
"This yard is pretty good." Jiang Moli walked into the yard.
"The yard isn't big, a little small, but it's better than the house we lived in before." Second Sister Sheng said with a smile, "You can look around more, but you'll finish looking at it all in a while."
"That's great." Jiang Moli said.
Sheng Jiahao stood beside Jiang Moli. They rested for a while before going back. Brother Sheng and his wife were also walking around. The place was much smaller than Sheng Jiahao and his wife's home, but Brother Sheng and his wife's house was not big either.
Brother Sheng and his wife worked in related departments, and their salaries were very low. It was only because the Sheng family had some money that they could live in a slightly better house. Some people in their unit were squeezed into small houses, and even if there were many people in their family, they had to squeeze in as well.
After a while, everyone went home and did not stay with Second Sister Sheng.
When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Moli and her husband return home, she asked, "Didn't you play more over there?"
"No, just a quick look after dinner will be enough." Jiang Moli said.
Teacher Lu and the others also went back home and did not stay with Second Sister Sheng. Second Sister Sheng was in a good mood today. Living in a new home would make everyone feel better.
"You guys go and have a rest, lie down for a while." Jiang's mother said.
Back in the bedroom, Jiang Moli said to Sheng Jiahao, "Aren't my second sister and her family planning to buy a bigger house?"
"The house over there is big enough for them," Sheng Jiahao said. "There's no need to buy a bigger one. It would be too ostentatious. My second brother-in-law works in the legal department, and a house that's too big would be criticized. This is enough."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded. "I've seen it. My second sister and her family cleaned the house very well. It's very clean and tidy."
Second Sister Sheng hired someone to clean the house, but she also cleaned the house herself. Second Sister Sheng tried to hire as few people as possible to save money. Second Sister Sheng did not borrow servants from Sheng Jiahao and his wife, and she arranged everything herself. Second Sister Sheng did not want to burden Jiang Moli and his wife too much. Her brothers and sisters each had their own families, and they still had to take care of their own family affairs, so she did not want to burden her brothers and sisters too much.
"My second sister loves cleanliness and she can also do housework." Sheng Jiahao said.
"Do you dislike me for not doing housework?" Jiang Moli raised her eyebrows.
"No, you don't have to do it." Sheng Jiahao said, "Second brother-in-law has a job like that. It's better for my second sister and the others to do the housework themselves. There's no need to let others do it."
"My second brother-in-law's job is okay, it's not very dangerous." Jiang Moli said, "Those drug enforcement officers have a very hard time. They can't be discovered, and their families are vulnerable to retaliation. They are really admirable."
In her previous life, Jiang Moli saw news reports about drug enforcement officers sending their children to live with relatives, afraid to see them for long or even let them near them, fearing that the bad guys would target them. Jiang Moli felt these officers had strong convictions; they could do many things and endure. She admired them deeply; they deserved better treatment.
"Yes." Sheng Jiahao agreed with what Jiang Moli said, "With them, we are much safer."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded.
He Jingxian's role was not that big, and it took more than a month to finish filming. He Jingxian played the role of the vicious sister-in-law, and she received a few comments from the director at the beginning, but she gradually got into the role later.
When He Jingxian was about to act very fierce, she thought of Jiang Moli, and when someone else was Jiang Moli, she was speaking harshly about Jiang Moli. He Jingxian really didn't like Jiang Moli. In real life, He Jingxian and Jiang Moli were not under the same roof, and the two had very little contact. If He Jingxian ran to Jiang Moli and said something bad about her, others would definitely think that He Jingxian had a mental problem.
He Jingxian performed well afterwards, and the director even said that He Jingxian was indeed very suitable for playing the role of the vicious sister-in-law, and asked He Jingxian to keep doing it. This made He Jingxian feel a little better. She is not without talent in acting. As long as she uses the right approach, she can also do very well in the dramas she shoots.
Others didn't know that He Jingxian was able to act so well because she thought of Jiang Moli. If others knew, they would definitely feel very complicated. Jiang Moli had so little contact with He Jingxian, and He Jingxian was still thinking about Jiang Moli's faults and trying to embarrass Jiang Moli.
He Jingxian didn't like Jiang Moli at all. She didn't like her when she was in school, and she still doesn't like her now. What He Jingxian didn't know was that the crew turned around and told others that He Jingxian must have thought of something to be able to act so well in one go. No one knew what He Jingxian thought of.
When He Jingxian returned home, she first went to wash up and rest, without thinking about looking at her three daughters. When the children made a noise, He Jingxian came out of the room very unhappy.
"Why are you arguing so much? Are you going to let me rest?" He Jingxian said, "Qi Shixin, keep a close eye on your daughters and stop them from making so much noise."
"..." Qi Shixin heard this and twitched his lips slightly, "You scared them."
"If they were more obedient and sensible, would I need to scare them?" He Jingxian said, "I just said a few simple words, and they were still scared. They are so useless, completely useless."
"They're still young," Qi Shixin said. The children weren't particularly noisy. It was daytime, not night, so of course they would talk and play together, making some noise. Qi Shixin looked at his three daughters. Even though they were so well-behaved, He Jingxian still had to criticize them. He Jingxian, as a mother, really didn't know how to care for her children.
"When I was their age, I was already learning opera singing." He Jingxian said, "Xiao Xiao Xiao, you only know how to say they are young. Sooner or later, they will be spoiled by you."
He Jingxian thought about how she started learning opera when she was very young and worked hard for so many years. However, because she gave birth to three children in a row, her body shape was not so good and her opera singing was delayed. Now she can't even play a good role in TV dramas. He Jingxian thought that her life was ruined by her three daughters. These three daughters were her own, so why couldn't she say something about her own daughters? He Jingxian vented her dissatisfaction on her daughters. She was not afraid of people like Qi Shixin saying anything about her.
Qi Shixin was unhappy. He Jingxian didn't take care of the children and said such things. "They are your biological daughters after all. Can you please stop saying such things? They are already well-behaved. They..."
"If they were good, I wouldn't have been woken up by them." He Jingxian said, "I just lay down for a while and haven't had time to rest yet. I..."
"He Jingxian, don't you want to live with me anymore?" Qi Shixin asked, "If you don't want this family, then forget it!"
