Chapter 83 Jiang Sanhe Returns to Her Parents' Home
"All the sons are dead. If we don't sell the land, who will farm it? How much money can we make by renting it out? How many families in our village would rent land? They would rather open up wasteland than rent land. I heard that Wang is going to form a partnership with her nephew from her mother's side to do some small business in the town. I guess she wants to sell the land to make money."
Although she was very angry, Zhang Jinlan's ears were very sensitive.
No one went in.
Just listen to the gossip.
"Wang's family, do they really have to display the body for three days? There's only the head left, what else is there to display? I think it's better to bury it early. It's too creepy to keep it at home."
Thinking of the scene she saw that day, Sun Pingmei was hesitant.
She is the most courageous.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Fubao has finished his meal. Go wash the dishes. We will go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables. Just walk around the outer area. Don't go to the inner area. It's very dangerous."
I was worried that my second daughter-in-law would talk too much and my granddaughter would be scared.
Zhang Jinlan quickly changed the topic.
Ever since the grizzly bear came out and ate people.
During these two days, no one in the village dared to set foot in that place again.
Some people don’t even dare to climb the mountains.
I only dared to pick up some dry firewood at the foot of the mountain and take it home to burn.
"mother!"
At lunch time.
Jiang Sanhe suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.
The Jiang family was shocked.
"It's not the New Year or any other festival, why are you back? Did you get divorced?"
See my daughter coming back alone.
Zhang Jinlan was guessing wildly in her heart.
"What? Mom, why are you so eager for me to get a divorce? My grandson and I are doing well. He has been treating me well recently. I just came back to stay for a while."
Jiang Sanhe rolled her eyes.
She put down her bag and sat down at the round table.
"Second sister-in-law, bring me a bowl and chopsticks. I haven't eaten yet and I'm starving. Oh, by the way, mother, where are my eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
"Your eldest brother and his wife sent Tongmu to the school in the city early in the morning. They will probably be back in the afternoon. If you want to eat, just get your own bowl. Don't you have hands? Sit down, second sister, don't help her get it. Look at how lazy she is."
Jiang Shoujia patted the table.
There was an angry look on his face.
He never doted on his daughter as much as Zhang Jinlan did.
You are so grown up, but you are still as stupid as a baby.
Fubao is more sensible than her.
"I know, I know. I'll take it myself. Dad, you're always like this, afraid that I'll bully my sister-in-law. Really, what's wrong with taking a bowl? I'm tired enough taking care of the whole family at Sun's house. Can't I enjoy myself when I go back to my mother's house?"
Jiang Sanhe was also angry.
She pouted and turned her body so her butt was facing the table.
"You suffer in your husband's family and enjoy life in your own family. You are really a filial daughter to me. How did your mother persuade you? Isn't the help you have received from your family enough? You refused to divorce even if you died. Then why did you come back?"
Are you trying to get something for free? You even let your second sister-in-law hold the bowl for you. How shameless are you? If you want others to serve you, then let your man be more aggressive and buy a few maids to take back. Don't go back to your parents' home and show off here!"
Jiang Shoujia didn't even eat.
He put down the bowl and walked out of the room.
"Mom, look at Dad. As soon as I came back, he treated me like a fool. Did I provoke him?"
Jiang Sanhe's face flushed red, and she clasped her hands over her chest.
Pursed her lips tightly.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. Your father cares about you. When you were tortured by your in-laws, your father was so worried that he couldn't sleep every night and secretly wiped away his tears. He loves you the most. Alas, you are such a heartless child!"
Zhang Jinlan no longer protected her as much as she used to.
"By the way, what on earth do you want to do when you come back? If you want to ask me for money, I don't have a penny."
I have already given my daughter half an ounce of silver.
Over the years, she has also supported her daughter a lot.
She has done enough.
"Mom, how come you have changed? Why do you miss me so much? I just came back to live for a while. Why would I ask you for money?"
Jiang Sanhe originally thought that she came back to stay temporarily.
Her family will be happy to welcome her.
The reality is completely different from what she imagined.
She looked at her mother with resentment in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, whether you want to stay temporarily or whatever, it's up to you. You can live in Fubao's old house. Stay for a while and leave quickly, so that my three granddaughters will not be left without a mother to take care of them."
Zhang Jinlan was too lazy to ask any more questions.
"I didn't ask you just now, Mom, the new rooms you built are actually bluestone brick houses? Is your family so rich?" Jiang Sanhe rolled her eyes and asked curiously.
"How can you say you have money? Our family is so poor. If you really have money, why don't you eat meat every day? Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, we will eat it all."
Zhang Jinlan naturally would not tell her what had happened at home recently.
After my daughter got married.
The elbow turns outward.
If you tell her.
She will definitely go back to her husband's house and tell lies.
There was a little incident.
No one was happy with this meal.
Except Sun Pingmei and Jiang Fubao.
One has only food in his eyes, the other has only words in his ears.
After dinner.
Jiang Fubao was pulled into the house by his grandmother.
Look how mysterious she is.
Jiang Fubao knew that grandma must be thinking about something.
"My dear granddaughter, don't let the immortals put eggs in the chicken coop during this period, otherwise if your aunt sees it, she will definitely go out and tell nonsense."
It turns out that’s why.
Jiang Fubao nodded obediently: "Got it, grandma. I'll ask Grandpa Whitebeard to release them after Auntie leaves. Don't worry."
"Hey, my granddaughter is the most obedient. Come on, let grandma take you to measure your body shape and make new clothes for our Fubao this afternoon."
Zhang Jinlan only smiles kindly when facing her granddaughter.
She took her granddaughter's hand and went into the yard.
After moving the tables and chairs out.
She worked with her daughter-in-law to make clothes.
The table was piled high with coarse cloth.
"Mom, why do you have so much cloth? Please make me some clothes. I haven't worn new clothes for a long time."
When Jiang Sanhe saw the new cloth, her eyes lit up.
"You are so shameless, snatching clothes from your niece. What, can't your man afford to buy cloth?"
Every word Zhang Jinlan said was full of thorns.
She was also disappointed.
While eating just now, she specifically asked her daughter whether she had hidden the half ounce of silver.
Who knew that she would hand it over to her mother-in-law as soon as she opened her mouth.
Who wouldn't be angry if they were held hostage?
"Mother, why are you talking so aggressively? What have I done to make you all dislike me? Why is it that a daughter who is married off is no longer a member of the Jiang family? You have so much cloth, but you want to make clothes for Fubao alone. She is still young, how can she wear them? Why don't you make one for me?"
Jiang Sanhe stomped his feet in anger.
"Aunt, these cloths are not only made for Fubao, but also for my second cousin. He goes to school and cannot always wear clothes with patches on them. Grandma is afraid that my second cousin will be looked down upon and bullied."
Jiang Fubao explained for grandma.
"Oh, so, Tongmu is already 13 years old, so he can get married next year. Why is he still studying? It's such a waste of money. You might as well save the money and use it for their wedding."
