Noticing that the neighbors were all looking at her, Old Mrs. Jiang smiled. She was always very concerned about her reputation, and now she was being stared at by her neighbors.
If she gave the copper bracelet to Jiang Xia right away, the news would spread throughout the compound and she would no longer be able to live as a human being.
His monthly pension is so high that not only does he subsidize his second son's family, he also often asks his eldest son's family for alimony. Now when he talks about marriage for his granddaughter, he says he will give her a family heirloom, but when they get married, he gives her a broken copper bracelet.
This thing is just a broken copper basin that you ask someone to cut and then weld yourself. It's not worth anything at all.
"No, no, I bought this bracelet just for fun because I was afraid it might get bumped while I was working. It's not valuable. I'm old and my mind is confused. I... forgot to bring it when I went out. How about this, grandma will bring it back for you next time." Old Mrs. Jiang smiled, just wanting to quickly cover up what happened today.
She was really reluctant to give the treasure to Jiang Xia. She wanted to keep it for Jiaojiao's wedding or Jinbao's marriage in the future.
"That's perfect. We are just about to go to Second Aunt's house. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will forget next time. It's a good opportunity for me to try Second Aunt's cooking. I don't want to waste her kindness, so let's do it this time instead of next time." Jiang Xia smiled and said with curved eyes after hearing what Grandma Jiang said.
"Aunts, you don't know, but my second aunt and her family are so kind to me. Seeing that I have been away for so long, my second aunt is not only concerned about my health and afraid that I would lose weight, she cooks meat and vegetables with lots of oil for me to replenish my body. She also says that she treats me like her own daughter and is particularly concerned about my marriage." Jiang Xia spoke, acting as if she had a very close relationship with Feng Changdi.
"Second Aunt also said that I had no experience and told me to ask her for help when I get married. If I need anything, Second Aunt will make up for it for me!"
"And grandma is particularly concerned about my marriage. She specifically asked me what Xiao Shen's grandma gave her when she got married. I know grandma wanted me to know that Xiao Shen had grandma to support her and give her a dowry. I have the same thing, right, grandma." Jiang Xia looked at Grandma Jiang with a smile.
"...I." Old Mrs. Jiang didn't know what to say.
How come she didn't know before that her granddaughter was so sharp-tongued?
Jiang Xia praised Feng Changdi and Old Lady Jiang to the point where they were embarrassed. It was impossible to say yes or no.
Feng Changdi's gaze turned to Su Yuelan and Jiang Wei's family, and she quickly spoke for them.
"But Xia Xia, your mother has already prepared the meal..."
Hearing what Feng Changdi said, Su Yuelan went to the kitchen and covered the braised pork simmering on the stove, then smiled and looked at Feng Changdi.
"This is made for Xiao Lu and will be sent over later. The food for us to eat has not been prepared yet. Xia Xia is right, Changdi, your thoughts have been so thoughtful. Mom has even come to invite us in person. If we don't go, it would be a waste of your kindness." Su Yuelan said.
Feng Changdi felt a tightness in her chest when she heard Su Yuelan's words. When did she come to invite them to her house for dinner? She even cooked meat for them, but she herself couldn't bear to eat it!
She obviously came here to take advantage of the old man's flesh and blackmail him!
But she certainly couldn't say that.
"Second Aunt, are we leaving?" Jiang Xia looked at Feng Changdi.
"Let's go." Feng Changdi could only speak reluctantly.
