When Jiang Mengxue was young, the Jiang family's conditions were not very good.
During the most difficult times, Jiang's mother had to go back to her parents' home to borrow food.
At that time, Zhao's second aunt didn't think much of the Jiang family and was unwilling to let Zhao's second uncle lend grain to Jiang's mother.
If she said that the Zhao family was not well off, Jiang's mother would not have the nerve to speak up.
But at that time, the Zhao family's conditions were not so bad that they could not afford to eat.
Because both families have many children, and the three younger daughters are too young to help with any housework.
They had to rely on Mr. and Mrs. Jiang to take care of the three half-grown boys, which was really difficult at that time.
Although Uncle Zhao wanted to lend food to his sister, he was a soft-hearted person and was not the head of the family. There was nothing he could do since his wife was the head of the family and was unwilling to lend the money.
Jiang's mother had seen through this relative and rarely visited him since then. Even when the family was in financial difficulty, she never went to ask for help.
My second aunt is named Sun Meizi. She had a hot temper when she was young, and my second uncle Zhao was a very honest person. As soon as they got married, my second aunt had the upper hand over them, and she was the one who made the decisions on all matters at home.
Jiang's mother also knew about this situation after a long time, and she didn't have a very good relationship with her second sister-in-law.
Over the years, the two families have not had much contact.
Apart from these inevitable happy events, the two families rarely visited each other.
Since the two families have a bad relationship, at least they should have some idea of what's going on.
When Jiang's mother heard what Aunt Zhao said, her face almost fell.
However, considering that Luan Huiying was sitting next to her with her beloved nephew in her arms, she held back and didn't curse back.
What the hell? Her daughter's family is well-off and can afford milk powder, so why should she be jealous?
Humph, after all these years, this disdainful nature hasn't changed at all.
He can't stand seeing others living a good life.
I remember when her daughter Dongmei married into the city, her second sister-in-law also looked unhappy when she came to the wedding.
Now her sons have gone to the city to work, and her younger daughter has also been found an easy job in the city by her second daughter and her son-in-law.
Her children all have a better life than the last.
Now I'm starting to feel jealous and wondering what I was doing back then.
Jiang's mother now sees through these relatives. No matter how well-off her family is, those people will never get a single piece of candy from her.
For a moment, the room was bustling with activity, and no one noticed Aunt Zhao's expression.
Aunt Zhao was chatting and laughing with everyone, while looking at Aunt Zhao with disdain.
Although she used to look down on the Jiang family, at least she knew that relatives had to get along well with each other.
What's more, what day is today? Knowing that the Jiang family is living a better and better life now.
All the sons and daughters are promising.
Not to say that it will ease the relationship, but it will not offend people directly.
Judging from her performance today, the two families of relatives will not be far apart in the future.
But this has nothing to do with her.
Although the date was set rather urgently, several cousins of the Gu family who were free came back.
Jiang Dongmei and her husband, and Jiang Mengran also took leave and came back today.
Moreover, Jiang Mengran did not come alone, but brought Tian Xinghe with her.
Before the New Year last year, Jiang Mengran took Tian Xinghe home to meet her parents.
Both Jiang's father and mother were very satisfied with him.
The two decided to get married before the New Year this year, and the wedding has been confirmed, and they are now considered an engaged couple.
What Jiang Mengxue didn't expect the most was that Xie Sheng and Huang Haiwu would also come today.
After all, both of them are busy with work, and it is not easy to ask for leave.
Jiang Mengxue was really happy today. It was rare for all her close friends to gather together today.
The elders saw a group of young people talking together and did not disturb them. They got up and went outside to talk with them.
But they didn't say anything too private, after all, there were two unmarried people in the room.
Jiang Mengran and Liu Daya are still girls, so some things are embarrassing to say in front of them.
As for why Liu Daya was also there, it was of course because Erhe was also there.
Originally it would have been the same whether he came or not, but since his fiancée was there and they could see each other more often, he persuaded her to come along.
How could Aunt Jiang not know what her son was thinking? But she also wanted her son to spend more time with his future daughter-in-law, so she didn't refuse.
Jiang Mengran likes her little nephew very much. She held him in her arms and didn't want to let go since she entered the house.
"You little bitch, how can you hold on to him like that? At least let us see our nephew too."
Jiang Dongmei didn't even get close to her nephew after entering the house. She was also curious.
Jiang Mengran then reluctantly showed his little nephew to Jiang Dongmei.
Jiang Dongmei just wanted to tease her sister, so after taking a look at her, she let him hold her and play with her.
Only after sitting back on the kang did he remember to ask her about her and Tian Xinghe.
"Why did you bring him back this time? Are you sure you're going to get married before the New Year?"
Naturally, the two had met their parents before, but not many people knew about it.
Jiang Dongmei was also worried about what would happen if the two of them couldn't get along during this year?
Bringing Tian Xinghe to so many relatives openly today will save you from any problems that may arise in the future.
But Jiang Mengran obviously didn't care.
"The marriage is already settled, so it's okay to bring him to meet the relatives.
His family has already started preparing for our wedding. We can get the marriage certificate by the end of the year and have a wedding reception in the company cafeteria. We don’t need to bother with anything at home.”
Not every family has the means to hold a wedding banquet.
Most of the time, the two of them agree on a time to get the certificate and simply do it in the company cafeteria.
Everyone pays for the food and drinks, and also prepares some gifts for the newlyweds.
Apart from buying some cigarettes, alcohol and candy, there is basically no expense.
Those with less favorable conditions may just move in together after getting married.
Everyone is like this anyway, and the poor conditions aren't limited to just one company, so there's nothing to worry about.
"Don't worry, big sister. Big Brother Li has worked in the Railway Bureau for many years and is familiar with the Tian family.
He also said that the Tian family members were good people who lived a down-to-earth life.
Besides, the Tian family is small, and after I marry in, there will be no one else around except my parents-in-law. Isn't that quite comfortable?"
Jiang Dongmei sighed.
Maybe sometimes she always treats her youngest sister as a child.
So I always worry about various things when my sister talks about her in-laws.
It would definitely not work if she had to worry about as many things as her in-laws.
But now that she has found a husband whose family is small, she is worried that her future mother-in-law will be difficult to get along with.
It was Jiang Mengxue who finally smoothed things over: "Okay, stop treating me like a child.
It seems that the two of them are getting along well now. She must have met the elders from the Tian family. Since they get along well, that's fine.
But Xiaoran must tell us if anything happens in the future.
You are the youngest in the family, and if you are wronged, your brothers and sisters will never let you be bullied."
Sometimes this may be the advantage of having many brothers and sisters. No matter what happens, your family will always be your strongest support.
Of course, this is only possible if everyone has a harmonious relationship.
Those relatives who have bad relationships are another matter.
