Feng Changdi led the way, Jiang Hongjiao and Jiang Jinbao followed behind her. Old Mrs. Jiang was reluctant, but as the neighbors were watching, she couldn't say much and could only let Jiang Xia and the others pass. However, there was some distress on her face, as she was reluctant to cook the meat for her eldest son's family.
Jiang Xia automatically ignored the reluctance on Feng Changdi and Old Lady Jiang's faces. She had eaten a lot of good food in the next few days in Yatou Village. They were all given to her by Lu Yuanting in different ways, such as chickens raised by the upper team in the village, or rabbits hunted for her in the mountains. He even hunted a wild boar once.
Lu Yuanting was a good cook and he cooked by himself every time. These things were especially delicious, fresh and fragrant. In a short period of time, she felt that she had become plumper and her taste had become much more picky.
She was not greedy for the meat from her uncle and aunt's house, nor was she greedy for Old Mrs. Jiang's heirlooms.
Whether she is greedy or not is one thing, but since others come to her house and want to get money from her, it is reasonable for her to go to their house and extort money from them.
Behind him, Jiang Weijia and Su Yuelan walked at the back. Su Weijia frowned slightly, obviously not quite approving of his wife and daughter's behavior. He couldn't help but reach out and pull his wife's sleeve, and spoke in a low voice.
"Yuelan, it's not like we don't have meat to eat at home. We don't need to go to Wei An's house to eat a bite of meat. Wei An's family is not doing well either. They finally bought some meat, and it's not a good idea for our family to get involved."
"There is also a dowry. How can I let my mother give this to Xia Xia? We can't think about her things."
Jiang Wei's family was instilled with the concepts of filial piety and brotherly love and respect for younger brothers since childhood. He himself is the eldest in the family, and the most important thing he was taught since childhood is to be filial, to be filial to his parents, and as the older brother, he has to take care of his younger brothers.
Even though he has risen, he must not forget his roots and must support his brothers, sisters and relatives at home.
When he saw what was happening, his first reaction was that it was not good. Their family was better off than his hometown, so it would be fine if he didn't help them now, but why was he taking advantage of them?
"You are not allowed to interfere in this matter! Can't you see that Xia Xia is standing up for us?" Su Yuelan felt unhappy when she heard Jiang Wei's words. She pouted and glanced at her man.
"Our family is well-off. Our conditions have improved in the past few days. Don't forget that Feng Changdi and her group took advantage of us in the past. They distributed food rations according to the number of people, and each household was allocated only a certain amount of food. At that time, our family lived a very tight life." Su Yuelan frowned, feeling aggrieved when she thought of the past.
"Xia Xia was only eight or nine years old at that time, still growing up. Every time we had steamed eggs or cooked meat at home, they would come over when they smelled the smell, bringing Hong Jiao and mom to eat all the eggs and meat I saved for Xia Xia, leaving only a little for Xia Xia. Why didn't you say anything when they took advantage of us?"
"Don't look at Wei An and the others like this, they are living well. We are both working, and mom and dad give them all our pension. And mom must have given them the alimony you gave to your father. Hong Jiao works in a garment factory now, earning several dozen dollars a month. How can we eat them out of money just by taking their food and eating their meat?"
Su Yuelan also became more confident. Now that her daughter had stood up, she, as a mother, certainly could not let her down.
"Why are you talking about these things again? Didn't our Xia Xia grow up well? She's not shorter than others. We are all family. It's too obvious to care about everything and settle accounts clearly. You will see them again if you look down." Jiang Weijia sighed, as if he didn't understand why his wife brought up the past again.
