Chapter 559 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (27)
Since the house had already been cleaned, Jiang Yue put away the bedding and other items, thanked Sister Jin, and went home. When she arrived home, dinner was already prepared, and her family was waiting for her.
Today, Jiang Yue and Little Pumpkin were the last to finish eating again. They inherited the original owner's habits and ate incredibly slowly. Jiang's mother still hasn't gotten used to it. She was in a hurry to wash the dishes, but Jiang Yue ate at a leisurely pace. Especially when Jiang's mother was in a hurry to leave, she would always get scolded.
The weather was just right, so we went to sit in the yard after dinner and chatted for a while. The conversation turned to Jiang Yue again. After all, she was the only older woman left in the yard, and her mother often dragged her to blind dates, making her quite a spectacle in the yard. But today we weren't talking about blind dates; we were talking about her mysterious boyfriend.
You can't take this seriously. If you start talking, it'll never end. Jiang Yue laughed and brought up Old Li's son, the one who was good at eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. He's changed over the years. Now he doesn't gamble anymore but sells himself. He can make money without capital, which is so embarrassing that Old Li's wife has come into the house.
Jiang Yue snorted. Who told her to spread rumors about Jiang Yue all day long? She was the most outspoken one. Usually, people were too lazy to pay attention to her. Once the troublemaker left, the atmosphere became harmonious, and everyone started discussing the college entrance examination. There were only two months left until the exam, and everyone was wondering which family's child would get into university this year.
After passing the time, the family went back to their room to sleep. The next day, Jiang Yue slept in a little longer because she didn't have to take a day off or go to work. When she got up, she lifted the pot lid and saw that her mother had left her a bowl of porridge and three steamed buns. Jiang Yue touched them and found they were still warm, so she didn't need to reheat them.
Jiang Yue went out to use the restroom first, and after washing up when she came back, she was just about to eat when she heard a child crying outside. She wondered who was hitting their child again, as the child was crying very loudly. Jiang Yue took a steamed bun and went out to check. It was Aunt Zhao's house across the street, so there was no problem. The child was one of the biggest troublemakers in the neighborhood.
Jiang Yue glanced at it and went back to her room to eat. After eating, she changed her clothes and planned to go out for a walk. The streets have become much more lively in recent years. After walking around, she ran into Little Winter Melon and Little Pumpkin, who were quite a distance from home. She bought them some snacks and then they disappeared again.
I went shopping and bought some clothes and groceries. I was planning to have a nice meal since it was my day off. When I got home, Aunt Jiang was back too. I don't know what she and Aunt Wang were up to today; I hadn't seen them since early this morning.
Jiang Yue enjoyed her holiday, but unfortunately, the day passed quickly, and she resumed her commuting routine. In October, Bai Ze informed her that he was preparing to head north.
Jiang Yue told him to decide for himself. He was thinking of bringing a few technologies, since the big gift package hadn't been given yet. Anyway, Jiang Yue told him to decide for himself, since it would all be given away eventually. If it weren't for the fact that the timing wasn't too good, he would have already sent it all over.
Before coming, she said she had mailed her a lot of things and told her to remember to receive them. Jiang Yue waited for a few days, thinking that the mail had been sent to her workplace, but it turned out that it had been sent to her mother's place. When she got home, her mother was making a fuss and the whole yard knew about it.
Jiang's mother didn't open the package until Jiang Yue returned. Inside were food, drinks, toys, and gifts for Jiang Yue's family. The preparations were quite thorough. After the items were distributed, the onlookers dispersed. It was quite boring.
"Xiaoyue, these are all good things, why don't you keep them for yourself?"
"Sister-in-law, you can take it and use it, it's fine."
"Nothing has happened yet, isn't it inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift?"
"Yeah, should we send it back to him?"
"Mom, sister-in-law, you can take this and use it."
Seeing that Jiang Yue was certain, Jiang's mother and sister-in-law put the things away. During the meal, Jiang's mother asked if Bai Ze was coming. Jiang Yue nodded: "Before the New Year, but the exact time is still uncertain."
"Try asking him what he likes to eat when you have some free time, so that Mom can prepare in advance for the Chinese New Year."
"No need, we can just eat whatever we want."
"No way, they're guests after all. Remember to ask them for me."
"Yes, Xiaoyue, you should still show proper manners."
Okay, Jiang Yue hadn't considered that. Thinking of this, Jiang Yue nodded and agreed, saying she would ask next time she wrote a letter. The next day at lunchtime, Jiang Yue took the opportunity to mail the letter. These days, one has to be careful.
Back in her office, Jiang Yue suddenly thought of the two protagonists who had been reborn. She figured that after the Guangxi incident involving Bai Ze was exposed, the government would definitely investigate. This had nothing to do with trust or distrust, and she didn't want to drag them into it. However, after thinking about it, Jiang Yue realized that there was nothing wrong with them. Jiang Yue was looking at the outcome with expectations in mind. At most, a normal person would just have a better eye for things.
The temperature in December was already quite low, but Jiang Yue felt it was especially low this year, freezing cold.
Bai Ze arrived in the capital yesterday and is currently staying in the security department. He has submitted several military-related technologies, which are being verified by relevant units. His cooperation is still needed, so he won't be out for a while.
Although the person couldn't come out, the gift had already been delivered, and it was done with great fanfare, with government officials helping to deliver it, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know.
As a result, Jiang Yue no longer goes back to her parents' house. She guesses that she will be surrounded by people again before she even gets back. In addition, Jiang Yue noticed that someone was following her today. She guessed that the government had sent someone to protect her. Of course, her information was probably also on someone else's desk.
The next day, Jiang Yue went back to her own home. Her parents, seeing that she hadn't gone back, came over and asked when she was coming. Jiang Yue shrugged and said, "I don't know either. He said he's going to invest in building a factory, so he'll probably come after he's finished with that."
"Sigh~"
"Sigh~~~"
"Dad? Why are you sighing now? Weren't you unhappy before?"
"He who eats another's food is bound to be obligated to him, and he who takes another's gift is bound to be oblig
"Don't talk nonsense! I think this young man is someone you can entrust your life to!"
"Heh!" Aunt Jiang rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain.
What did he give my dad?
"Tobacco and alcohol! They're all harmful to your health."
"Mom, keep an eye on Dad. He's not young anymore. You need to limit the amount he eats."
Although Jiang Yue knew that what Bai Ze gave to her father must be good, and might even have been grown in the Wizard Tower, she still felt she should say something.
"Know."
Ignoring her father's betrayed expression, Jiang Yue helped her mother clean the house, even though there wasn't much to clean in such a small place.
"You can stay here for the next few days. Since the car came to our house a few days ago, there have been people at home every day. There's not even room for people to stand. It's good to stay away from people."
