Jiang Xia held the jade pendant in his palm. After seeing Jiang Xia's action, Mrs. Jiang's expression changed slightly. She hurried to Jiang Xia's side and wanted to take the thing from Jiang Xia's hand.
"Grandma, where did you get this jade pendant?" Jiang Xia looked at Old Lady Jiang. He had never given this thing to Old Lady Jiang.
She knew Old Lady Jiang well. Old Lady Jiang was not the kind of person who would swallow a loss. If it was at that time, Old Lady Jiang really didn't want to give her the thing, she could just complain and make a big fuss so that the neighbors could see it. She was older and the elder, and if Jiang Xia wanted to take away her treasure, the neighbors would definitely gossip about her.
But now Mrs. Jiang's reaction was unusual. The volume of her voice was much smaller than before, as if someone had overheard what she was saying.
“This must have been passed down from our Jiang family’s ancestors. Xia Xia, I can’t give it to you. You can take the antique hairpin and jade ring, but I still need this jade pendant…” Old Mrs. Jiang didn’t even have the aggressiveness she had before, and her voice was slow, with a tone of negotiation.
Jiang Xia clearly noticed that when Old Lady Jiang said this, there was a flash of guilt in her eyes.
Jiang Xiaxin looked at the jade pendant in her palm and was sure that the origin of this thing must be complicated. Old Mrs. Jiang was hiding something.
In her previous life, her parents died early, and she had no connection with Old Lady Jiang and her second uncle's family. She was not very clear about their later movements, but she vaguely heard some information about Old Lady Jiang and her second uncle's family from other people.
It is said that they have become rich and have moved to Beijing, where they are doing very well.
At that time, she was living in a daze, immersed in the sadness of losing her husband and didn't think about it carefully, but now think about it, how did the second uncle's family survive in Shangjing? What kind of place is Shangjing? It is different from Jiangcheng. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the consumption level is also high.
My second uncle's family didn't have much capital. A large number of state-owned factories closed down, and the two of them went from being both employed to being laid off. They didn't catch up with the previous trend of starting a small business. What did the family rely on to move to Beijing?
When Jiang Xia thought of this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant in his palm.
She had to get this thing.
"Grandma, but Second Aunt said this is a good thing. Didn't you say before that you would give me a family heirloom and make Xiao Zhao's grandmother better than her? Otherwise, when my granddaughter gets married, you as a grandmother will be looked down upon by others." Jiang Xia said with a smile, her voice gentle and soft.
His eyes fell on Old Lady Jiang, and then on Feng Changdi.
Feng Changdi listened to what Jiang Xia said and saw the frustrated look on Old Lady Jiang's face. She felt a little relieved. She thought about when she married into the Jiang family, Old Lady Jiang acted like a mother-in-law. At that time, Old Lady Jiang had her own job and her husband was there too, and she was the master of the family.
As the new daughter-in-law, she had suffered a lot of anger from Old Lady Jiang since she came into the family.
It was not until Mr. Jiang died and Mrs. Jiang was old that she wanted her daughter-in-law to be filial and take care of her in her old age. When she saw that she had given her a grandson, she finally became friendly with her.
But she still remembered the hardships she had suffered, and what happened to her just now, which was what Old Lady Jiang did to her.
