Chapter 307 Strange Wife
Master Su Jiu was a very bossy person. He could accomplish anything in front of others and was considerate and compromising. However, the moment he heard Third Grandma's voice, it was as if someone had pressed acupoints on him. The wonderful expressions on his face made people laugh.
Master Su Jiu's throat tightened: "Aunt San, the girl is my friend's child. She came to me to do something. She has finished her business and hasn't eaten yet. I want to let her go back to eat."
Third Grandma narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Wanwan for a long while: "Why are you going back? Just eat here. I say, Laojiu, I have taught you since you were a child that you should be generous and not stingy. Why haven't you changed this bad habit yet?"
"Girls and boys, come in. Don't listen to him. We'll have lunch here. You can also try the white flour steamed buns from our place."
The Third Grandma looked at Jiang Wanwan and the others who were still not moving, and asked with her eyes what Master Su Jiu meant. The old lady narrowed her eyes and sneered: "What's wrong, Master Jiu? You have been in the customs for half your life, and you have forgotten that you didn't have enough food to eat. Who gave you white steamed buns to eat and soup to drink?"
"The clan didn't acknowledge you back then, but your uncle and I kowtowed and asked you to acknowledge your father's name again. We reserved a place for you next to your father's grave. Now that you have had so many good days, have you forgotten the days when you were starving and bullied in the prison?"
Jiang Wanwan sensed the power of Third Grandma's words. She asked Ninth Grandpa if he had forgotten the days when he was hungry and bullied. In other words, she was reminding him who helped him when he was hungry and bullied.
She didn't mention the past in detail, in order to save Mr. Su Jiu's face. Besides saving face, it was also a warning. If she went on to talk about it, she would get into details.
Seeing that Master Su Jiu looked unhappy, Shen Xingjiang took Jiang Wanwan’s hand and walked into the house: “I’m a little thirsty, come in and drink some water.”
Shen Xingjiang was a man who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, so Jiang Wanwan was quite surprised that he could take the initiative to break the deadlock.
"good."
But they had already eaten, and they wouldn’t be able to eat anything later. So forget it, just eat something symbolic.
Uncle Su Jiu sighed and continued to prepare dinner. After a while, Su Pingshan came back from get off work. He usually brought his own lunch to eat at his workstation during his lunch break. But his third uncle and grandmother came from the border with their family, and he was afraid that his father couldn't stand being alone at home with them, so he came back at noon to help with cooking.
When he came back he didn't go into the house. He took off his coat and put it on the clean wall outside, squatted by the well to wash his hands, and went into the kitchen to work.
"They are staying quite quietly in the house?"
Master Su Jiu sighed, "When Wan Wan and her friends came, your Third Grandma forced them to stay. I wanted to let them go, but she brought up the past. Wan Wan's wife was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so she took Wan Wan inside to sit down."
Su Pingshan watched him knead the dough, took the basin and started kneading. He was very strong and the dough with honeycombs quickly became tight. "Wan Wan's mouth is not the same as before. She can say, don't be so sad. No matter what they come here for, we can't let them succeed."
"It's been so long since what happened. You can't let them control you every time. As long as you let it go, these people can't do anything to you."
After listening to this, Master Su Jiu said nothing, his face solemn. He went to scoop up a bowl of rice. He was afraid that Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang were not used to eating pasta, so he specially cooked rice.
"well……"
"By the way, after dinner, go find a jade pendant made of mutton-fat jade, probably from the Ming Dynasty, and give it to Wanwan. She's in a hurry to get it, so it'll be useful to her."
Su Pingshan nodded: "Okay."
While the father and son were cooking, Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang were already drinking tea water in the house.
There were more people coming from the pass than Jiang Wanwan had imagined.
The third grandfather, the third grandmother, their eldest daughter-in-law, two little grandsons, and the couples from the second and third families.
There are seven people in total.
They were wearing patched clothes. The third grandfather had a long beard and was lying on the bed smoking a pipe. After the third grandmother sat down on the edge of the bed, the eldest daughter-in-law came over to take off her shoes and rub her feet.
The two children of the old family, one seven years old and the other eight years old, look much shorter than their peers.
The two brothers sat at the table and ate the Grassland Sisters biscuits and beef jerky that Jiang Wanwan brought from Inner Mongolia. They ate voraciously, swallowing the biscuits with their snot.
The second couple of my third grandmother's family, the man looks to be in his forties and the woman looks to be in her early thirties.
The Su family was poor back then, and the eldest son was single for more than 30 years before he was able to marry. The same was true for the second son. As a result, the third grandmother's son was only a few years younger than Su Jiuye, but his daughter-in-law was young and his children were small.
The second brother's couple also ate with the two kids. They stuffed these things into their mouths as if they were free. Their cheeks bulged up from eating them. They could not chew them a few times and swallowed them. They choked for a long time before the food passed through their throats and into their stomachs.
Jiang Wanwan had seen people from the Guanli area before. They were poor but well-mannered. One could only say that their upbringing was different. The Third Grandma's family looked like the reincarnation of starving ghosts.
It has to be said that the Shen family was poor before, and in terms of eating manners, grandma taught the children very well.
Guoguo and Suisui are both sweet and sincere. They have never fought over a piece of meat. Suisui has also never bullied her sisters just because she is a boy.
She thought a little further ahead. When she had a child in the future, she would bring her grandmother to live with her and let her take care of the child. Although her grandmother was a little old lady from the countryside, she had a broad mind, great wisdom, and was a simple and hardworking person. If the child followed her, not only would he be able to help the world, but he would also learn to be honest and be a good person.
Shen Xingjiang didn't know that Jiang Wanwan was thinking so far, so he chatted with the third grandmother and the third grandfather.
Third Grandpa: "Where are you from?"
Shen Xingjiang: “From Inner Mongolia.”
He could not only talk to his third uncle about Inner Mongolia, but also talk to him about Guanli and the customs and culture of Guanli.
Jiang Wanwan suddenly realized that this man actually understood more than anyone else, but he was tight-lipped. If you really let him speak, he could say it better than anyone else.
After a while, the third grandfather looked at Shen Xingjiang with admiration.
"The young man is knowledgeable, but a little poor."
Jiang Wanwan's mouth twitched slightly. Please, take a look at your own family before you say that my man is poor.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Third Grandma's family rubbed her legs for a long time before the Third Grandma raised her legs to the bed with a cold face and covered her feet with a quilt: "Go get a pot of hot water."
Her eldest daughter-in-law lowered her head and went to work.
Jiang Wanwan found it very interesting. They were both daughters-in-law of the third grandmother's family, but the daughters-in-law didn't have to do anything, just had enough to eat and drink, and had no image. However, the daughters-in-law of the old family were like cattle and horses, and had to do everything.
They were all poorly dressed, proving that their family backgrounds were similar, and the second son's wife was not superior to the eldest son's wife. From listening to their conversation, Jiang Wanwan also learned that the second son's family had no children yet, while the eldest son's family had two sons. So no matter where these two women were placed, the eldest son's wife should not be the one to suffer.
Is there any hidden secret?
