Chapter 139 She Seems to Have Suddenly Become a Rich Woman
Jiang Ning understood his unspoken meaning. Not to mention Shen Mo, she actually wanted to as well, but compared to this man, she was nothing.
When they were in Qing County, Shen Mo visited Dahe Village, and the two of them spent a little time together but didn't go all the way.
It has indeed been more than two months.
Seeing that her eyes were also glazed over, Shen Mo began to push his luck. He whispered, "Also, wife, don't forget what you promised me in Dahe Village."
Jiang Ning instantly snapped back to reality.
She reached out and gave it a push, saying, "Don't go too far! There are more than just us here."
Seeing the disappointment on his face, Jiang Ning didn't soften her heart. She just blushed and said, "Wait...wait until we get home to the family compound."
......
After a deep conversation, Shen Mo wrapped Jiang Ning carefully in the blanket and went out to fetch water to help her wash up.
After her body felt less sticky, Jiang Ning snuggled into the blankets and fell asleep.
When Shen Mo returned after tidying up, he smiled as he looked at his wife's sleeping face and immediately rushed into bed to hug her.
Thinking about the issues the two of them had discussed today, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
His wife really likes him; otherwise, why would she be willing to have his child?
Shen Mo didn't bother the sleeping girl anymore; he could tell the difference between a full meal and a full stomach.
He drifted off to sleep, holding the sweet and soft girl in his arms.
When Jiang Ning woke up the next day, it was already close to noon.
Some things happened after I returned from Qing County, and then I had to deal with Old Master Shen and others. In the evening, Shen Mo even dragged me into a vigorous workout.
When she woke up, Shen Mo was no longer beside her, but there was an extra layer of blankets covering her, as if he was worried she would get cold.
Jiang Ning, wanting to stay in the warm bed, lay back down. Just as she lay back down, she saw the door being pushed open a crack.
Jiang Ning's eyes met Shen's mother's, and she hurriedly tried to get up.
Seeing that she was dressed in thin clothes, Chen's mother immediately went into the room and gestured for Jiang Ning to lie down, "Lie down quickly, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Being caught by her elders for staying in bed made Jiang Ning feel a little embarrassed.
Mother Shen said, "I just came to see if you were awake. Now that you are awake, I'll have Shen Mo bring the food into your room."
Mother Shen adored this daughter-in-law; what was wrong with her staying in bed a little longer? She wouldn't say a word.
Mother Shen said again, "If you don't want to eat, then sleep a little longer."
Jiang Ning only wanted to stay in bed when she first woke up, but when she looked at the time, she realized how late it was.
It's almost lunchtime.
People in this era go to bed early and wake up early, managing their time very regularly.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been the most difficult to manage. There are even cases where the mother-in-law knocks on the door early in the morning to ask the daughter-in-law to get up and cook. How come in her case, the mother-in-law is encouraging her to stay in bed longer?
If it were still early, she would definitely listen to her mother and lie down a little longer. But it's almost lunchtime, and she can't stay in bed any longer.
After getting up, Jiang Ning went out with Shen's mother and bumped into Shen Mo, who was carrying water in through the courtyard gate.
Seeing that his mother hadn't come out for a long time, Shen Mo guessed that his wife had woken up, so he immediately went to fetch hot water for Jiang Ning to wash up.
The Shen family hadn't separated, and they always ate together as a whole family because of the old master's rule that everyone in the family had to be present for meals. But Jiang Ning broke that rule.
Grandpa Shen always found Jiang Ning's eating at the table somewhat displeasing.
Jiang Ning wasn't unaware of the occasional glances that Old Master Shen was giving her.
Jiang Ning pretended not to see it.
After all, the other party is old.
As the meal was drawing to a close, Shen Bingwei suddenly spoke up, "Brother, sister-in-law, you can't spoil the child too much. The whole family should be present for all three meals a day."
Jiang Ning was delighted when she heard this.
They're targeting her.
She ignored him the whole time.
After lunch, Shen's mother urged Shen Mo to take them to the street, saying that she wanted to buy jewelry for Jiang Ning.
As they were about to leave, Old Master Shen suddenly called them back and quickly took out a savings book from inside the house.
When Jiang Ning saw the bankbook being handed to her, she was stunned for a moment. The old man said, "This is from your grandfather to your granddaughter-in-law. Please accept it."
The old man had spent half his life on the battlefield, and he treated all the younger generation in his family equally. He prepared a sum of money for all the younger generation, whether they were married out or married into the Shen family.
When he told us to accept it, it was like an order.
Jiang Ning didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the passbook without hesitation.
It wasn't a lot of money, but it was still a thousand yuan.
For an average family, that's quite a lot.
But the old man has worked so hard all his life, how could he not have any savings?
Although she favored the weaker son over her two sons, she did not mistreat her grandchildren.
"The one who pays is the boss," Jiang Ning said with a genuine smile. "Thank you, Grandpa."
After taking the money, Jiang Ning felt she should say something. She suddenly said, "Grandpa, you're getting old. Don't get angry all the time. As long as you don't worry about anything, you'll definitely live to 108, maybe even 118."
Which elder doesn't like a child with a sweet tongue?
His eldest son's family always complained that he favored his second son. The children in his eldest son's family had gone abroad to study at a young age and did not grow up under his care. When they returned, although they treated him, their grandfather, with utmost respect, they were not as close to him as the children who had grown up under his watchful eye.
Even the most childlike Shen Qianqian became reserved and afraid when she saw him.
Over time, he began to favor his second son's children.
The old man pretended to be stern, "Shen Mo, a boy who didn't like to talk much since he was a child, married a girl as sharp-tongued as you."
He also observed that Shen Mo's wife was either quiet and reserved, or she could easily control people with her words.
No wonder the eldest son's family dotes on her, their daughter-in-law, so much.
Jiang Ning never expected that she could make the old man happy with just one sentence. Her mind was still on the huge sum of money she had received: more than 20,000 yuan from Shen's parents, plus Shen Mo's salary, and now this was another sum of money from the old man.
She seems to have suddenly become a wealthy woman.
After leaving the Shen family compound, the family went to the department store.
Once in the mall, it was a woman's world. Chen's mother was particularly domineering, waving her hand and saying, "Ningning, pick whatever you want. Mom will pay for whatever you like."
Jiang Ning was particularly supportive, hugging Chen's mother's arm and saying sweetly, "Mom, you're so good to me."
Mother Shen seemed to have a good understanding of these things. The family went around several counters and finally stopped in front of the largest one.
It contains gold, silver, pearls, and jade.
Chen's mother gestured to the sales clerk at the counter to take out a gold bracelet. She took the bracelet and slipped it onto Jiang Ning's fair wrist before asking, "Ning Ning, what do you think of this gold bracelet? The design is quite unique, and most importantly, it's quite heavy!"
