Chapter 235 All Yours

Jiang's mother was very interested in Su He's family. She asked the two children, "How many stores do you have?"

"Five, right?" Jiang Siqi looked at his sister Jiang Yueying and asked.

Jiang Yueying nodded, "Yes, five were opened."

Jiang's mother was surprised, "Five stores? That's a lot!"

"What kind of business are you doing?"

Jiang Yueying: "A restaurant, two clothing stores, a jewelry store, and a tobacco, alcohol, and tea shop."

"After so many years, he must have made a lot of money this month!" Jiang's mother muttered.

Jiang Siqi, "How can people open a business if they don't make money? They can't travel either."

Jiang's mother agreed. If this business didn't make money, they wouldn't open it in every household. "That's true."

Then he asked, "How old is your boss?"

"Aunt Su, she should be almost 40, right?"

Jiang Siqi is not very clear about the age of his future boss, but his two children are both twenty years old and will soon graduate from college, so they should not be young, they just look young.

Jiang Yueying said, "Yes, Aunt Su will be forty after the Chinese New Year."

Jiang's mother: "She is one year younger than me." She will be 41 this Chinese New Year.

Jiang Siqi said innocently, "She looks younger than you, mom, and she doesn't have a single wrinkle on her face."

Hearing this, Jiang's mother said angrily, "They are rich people and don't have to worry about anything. We ordinary people have endless worries every day. How can the two be compared?"

Jiang Siqi: "Mom, I used to be an ordinary person and lived in the countryside."

Jiang's mother was shocked. "What? Living in the countryside?"

"Yes, her two children were admitted to university, and she herself was admitted to university before moving to the capital. Then, gradually, the whole family moved here."

"If you two hadn't told me in detail about your boss, how could a country boy be so rich?"

Jiang's mother didn't quite believe it. How could a country person be so rich as to open one store after another?

So Jiang Siqi and Jiang Yueying, brother and sister, told the story one by one.

Jiang's mother listened and said, "What you are talking about is that they just live in the countryside, and the couple work in the city."

She said that her husband used to be a soldier. He was injured and retired. The army must have given him severance pay, and he went to work in the public security bureau after retirement.

She is a teacher herself, which means she has two jobs, but her husband's family is from the countryside.

"That family is still in the countryside." Jiang Yueying said.

Jiang's mother sighed, "Don't worry about whether she is from the countryside or not. She is living a better life than us. Both of her children have been admitted to universities, and they are all top universities in our country."

"What about you two? Neither of you passed the exam."

"We don't have the brains to study. But speaking of it, I don't know what Aunt Su was thinking. A city girl, and a teacher at that, actually married a country boy."

Jiang Yueying was extremely puzzled. She felt that country people were very dirty and smelly. They didn't take baths or change clothes. They were covered with fleas and had poor hygiene. They also didn't eat well and ate salted vegetables all day long.

Jiang Siqi said, "Do I even need to ask? They just like each other. Besides, Aunt Su's husband is a soldier. He is a company commander and his monthly allowance is definitely not lower than that of workers in the city."

Jiang Siqi didn’t know what her boss’s man looked like, but she thought he should be good looking, otherwise she wouldn’t have fallen in love with him at first sight.

Jiang Yueying said, "Anyway, I will never marry a country boy, no matter how rich he is."

Besides, she felt that no matter how rich the country people were, they would never have much money to spend.

"That's right. We will definitely look for someone from Beijing." Jiang's mother agreed.

Jiang Siqi, "Sister, Xu Ying is dating that...Hongjun, right? I heard that they are engaged and their parents have met each other?"

He, his sister and Xu Ying are in the same class.

Jiang's mother: "What do you mean Xu Ying is engaged?"

Jiang Yueying, "We can't say we're engaged, but it's almost there. Both parents have met."

"Where is her boyfriend from? Is he from Beijing?"

"No, he's the boss's nephew. He's from Meng Province and also from the countryside." Jiang Yueying said.

Jiang's mother said, "Why is this child so desperate that he has to find someone from another place?"

"Who would have known? When they were dating, I thought they were just checking things out, but I didn't expect they were serious about it." Jiang Yueying didn't quite understand either.

She continued, "If she had dated the boss's son, I would have looked up to her. After all, the boss's son is a college student studying medicine, and he is also good-looking. The boss and his wife are also very rich."

Jiang Siqi was surprised, "Have you met the boss's son?" He knew that Aunt Su had four children.

They were two pairs of dragon and phoenix twins, but he had never seen either of them.

Jiang Yueying glanced at him and said, "Of course I have seen it. The four children of the boss are all very good-looking."

To be honest, Aunt Su's family is perfect when she lives here, except for her uncle who is a country boy. But now they are all from Beijing.

Jiang Siqi was curious, "Look at what you said, how beautiful is it? Is she a fairy?"

Jiang Yueying said, "The boss's eldest daughter is like a fairy, she is very beautiful. When you are free next year, you can go and meet her and you will know. I am not exaggerating, she is really beautiful."

The boss's eldest daughter, her face is second only to her temperament, which is cool and not aloof, in short, it is very good.

Among the boss's children, Jiang Yueying likes the eldest son, Gu Changyi, the most.

She likes her situation very much and thinks all good things belong to the boss's eldest daughter.

"Okay, okay, next year I will definitely have a chance to meet Aunt Su's children." Jiang Siqi was not curious about the boss's children, but after hearing what his sister said, he became a little curious.

Jiang's mother said to Jiang Yueying, "Why are you asking others to look for it? Can't you find it yourself?"

"What?" Jiang Yueying didn't understand.

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "I told you to ask Xu Ying to find your boss's son. Go find him."

This time Jiang Yueying understood, she was shocked.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can someone like me? He's a college student!"

Although she told Xu Ying that they were not that different, there was still a difference.

Jiang's mother said angrily, "What are you talking about? My daughter is so beautiful, 99% of boys like her. Besides, how can you know if you don't try?"

"No, no, no, Mom, please stop talking." Jiang Yueying still found it outrageous.

Jiang Siqi joked, "Haha, sister, if you really get together with Aunt Su's son, you can surpass Xu Ying."

His sister has been competing with Xu Ying since they were young. It is true that his sister and Xu Ying are good friends, but her sister has been competing with others since she was young, comparing everything.

But he was suppressed everywhere.

Listening to what his mother and brother said, Jiang Yue's mind flashed with the handsome face of the boss's eldest son, Gu Changan.

Jiang Yueying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She was annoyed and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I just want to work hard, stop talking to me."

Jiang Siqi, "To be honest, if you marry Aunt Su's eldest son, all those stores will be yours. Do you still need to work?"

Jiang Yueying, "Siqi, don't say this in front of Aunt Su!"

“It’s not good for people to hear.”

Jiang Siqi, "I'm not stupid."

Jiang Yueying didn't have those thoughts at first, but after what her mother and brother said, Gu Changan's face kept appearing in her mind and couldn't be shaken off.

She thought that if she really married Aunt Su's eldest son, at least she would have money to spend, and she could wear and buy beautiful clothes, vanishing cream and other things whenever she wanted.

It seemed that the only difference between her and Gu Changan was their educational background. He had a college degree, while she had a high school degree. In other aspects, they were equal.

As for her appearance, just like her mother said, she is indeed good-looking, but she doesn't have many clothes to dress up, and she doesn't have much money or lotion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yueying suddenly had an idea. Regardless of whether she cared about Gu Changan or not, she could use this opportunity to ask her mother for money!

Thinking of this, she said, "Mom, don't think about it. It's impossible for someone to like me. Even if I have a pretty face, I won't look good without makeup."

"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. I don't even have a decent piece of clothing."

This is a serious statement. Jiang Yueying still has a lot of uncles, but there are not many new ones, at least not as many as Xu Ying.

Jiang's mother didn't buy it. "What nonsense! What does that have to do with it? People are dating you, not bragging about you."

Jiang Yueying asked anxiously, "Mom, do you think I look good wearing these clothes and shoes every day? Xu Ying wears new clothes, the latest styles from the clothing store, small leather shoes on her feet, and vanishing cream and powder on her face."

"Okay, okay, starting from next month you only need to give 20 yuan to the family, and you can keep 10 yuan for yourself." Jiang's mother compromised.

I used to give my daughter 50 yuan a month, but now it seems a bit too little.

What she just said about letting her daughter marry her boss's son was just talk, but the daughter was pretty, and after some grooming, she would definitely be a beauty.

Who knows, she might really be favored by her boss's son.

Jiang Yueying was satisfied, but still said, "Xu Ying's parents only charged half."

Jiang's mother said, "That's enough. Ten yuan a month is a lot of pocket money."

Jiang Siqi, "What about me, mom? What about me after I start working next year?"

Jiang's mother said, "How much is your salary? Thirty, right? You pay twenty-five."

Jiang Siqi refused to do it. "Why should I do that, Mom? My sister needs to buy clothes to dress up, and so do I. If I find a partner in the future, I will need money to buy things for the girl."

"I'll pay twenty too."

Jiang's mother was annoyed. "Okay, you pay twenty too."

Jiang Yueying felt unbalanced. Why did her mother agree as soon as her brother said it? She had mentioned it several times before, and her mother had always taught her that girls had no right to spend so much money and that girls should be frugal.

This time, if she didn't use Aunt Su's eldest son to talk, her mother would definitely not agree.

"Mom, you are biased. I have already paid 25 yuan for half a year, and you asked Siqi to pay for half a year as well."

Since he started working, Jiang Yueying has become much more assertive in his speech.

Jiang Siqi was speechless. Is his sister sick? Why did she say that?

"Sister, what you said is true. If you want to fall in love, buy clothes and other things, I also need them."

"Tsk, you don't even have a partner, how can you spend money?" Jiang Yueying directly quoted what Jiang's mother said.

Jiang's mother was very angry about what her daughter said. It's like this in every family. Every parent prefers their son. After all, sons have to carry on the family line. Once a daughter gets married, she is like water spilled on the family.

I've raised the child for so many years and now that I can earn money, what's wrong with handing it over to my family for a few years?

Shouldn't we? Otherwise, it would be in vain.

But Jiang's mother wouldn't say that. She asked, "What are you two arguing about?"

"Your parents won't take any of the money you earn. Siqi, if you give us the money you earn in the future, we won't spend it. Your father and I both have jobs, so we'll save it for you to use when you get married."

"Yueying, it's the same with you. Your parents won't spend the money you give to your family. They'll also save it for you. It will be used as a dowry when you get married."

"Mom thought that you were still young and that you would spend all the money you had and would not be able to save any, so she asked you to give it to the family every month."

"Tell me, your father and I both work and get paid every month. Can we spend your money? Besides, where would we spend it? We saved it for your dowry."

Jiang Yueying heard, "Mom, is this true?"

Jiang's mother began to play the emotional card, "Of course it's true. Your parents don't have the ability to give you two anything. We can only support you to finish high school. If you work hard and get into college, that's all. With the title of college students, your life will definitely not be bad in the future."

“But you didn’t pass.”

"You know the situation in our family, Yueying. Your parents won't be able to give you anything when you get married. The same goes for your brother. He won't be able to give anything to his wife when he gets married."

"So, your parents want to save the money you earn from working for you as a dowry or money for marrying a wife."

"Alas, you are still young and don't understand anything. Just focus on the present. When you reach my age in the future, you will understand."
