Chapter 539: Lack of festive atmosphere
I rolled my eyes at my dad and said, "Go to hell!" That was just right. The two old men's calculations were clearly written on their faces.
I answered the phone, and my cousin's bright smile appeared on the screen. "Mengmeng, are you visiting the graves in your hometown?"
"Yes, sister, my parents and my uncle's family are all here." I responded with a smile, and Wensong and Wenbo also leaned over to greet my cousin.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, my cousin got straight to the point.
"Mengmeng, your brother-in-law and I got our marriage certificate at the end of last month. I wanted to pick a good day to announce it, but then I remembered that today is a holiday, and your family and your uncle's family should be together. I could easily let everyone know with just one phone call, so I called right now."
In the video, my cousin was smiling brightly, but half of her face couldn't make it into the camera.
Even if you are a materialist with no taboos, you can't just save trouble and announce the good news regardless of the occasion. Is it really appropriate to announce the good news now?
I looked at the graves around me and heard various crying sounds. Those who were sobbing softly were usually those who had passed away a few years ago, while those who were crying loudly were usually those who had recently died.
I felt a little helpless: "Sister, I don't know what the customs are like in my brother-in-law's family. It's true that today is a festival, but here in our family, it's a good day for visiting the graves.
The surrounding environment lacks a festive atmosphere.
Please wait a moment, I will tell you congratulations after I leave this cemetery."
"Why does this kid talk so nonsense?" I don't know who praised me, but when I turned around, I saw my mother looking at me with disgust.
"It's okay, your brother-in-law just got married, so he's not shy about it. Your brother-in-law and I are planning to have our wedding in October, so you have to come~!"
My brother-in-law finally squeezed most of his face into the screen, grinning from ear to ear, and extended his hand to greet me: "Mengmeng, I'm your brother-in-law. We're planning to buy a house. Does your boyfriend's promise of a discount still stand?"
Jiang Kaisheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
I smiled and said, "Of course it counts. Send me the number of the apartment you like and I'll ask him to notify the person in charge of the sales department over there."
"Okay~" That half face happily exited the screen.
My dad mouthed to me that it was time for me to get down to business.
I glanced at him unhappily and said, "Sister, my father and uncle asked me to talk to you about signing the letter of understanding. They were too embarrassed to tell you themselves, so they said that as your younger sister, it's only appropriate for me to tell you."
My dad was so anxious that he wanted to hit me, but Wensong and Wenbo blocked him, saying, "Uncle, Mengmeng is calling her elder sister, don't disturb her."
What a good kid with a conscience, he gave them red envelopes afterwards.
I told my cousin about my uncle's concerns about Wensong and Wenbo's future. Maybe because the wedding was approaching, my cousin was obviously not as excited as before when talking about my uncle's family.
She said calmly, "Actually, Lawyer He advised me a long time ago that even if an old woman of her age went to jail, she wouldn't stay there long. She would most likely be released on medical parole, so it's better to be practical and get more compensation."
Hearing my cousin say this, my father and uncle both breathed a sigh of relief.
The uncle then came up and said, "Jun Di, I appreciate your kindness in this matter. Xiao Song and Xiao Bai will also remember your kindness in the future. If you have any requests, just ask.
Uncle has also figured it out. Rather than letting that bastard Junliang get away with the little fortune your grandma has saved over the years, it’s better to give it to you. This will also be considered as compensation for what they owe you over the years.”
