In the next few days, Jiang Jiangyu showed her tenderness and agreed to her husband's request.
Thinking of the hundreds of dollars she was about to lose, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. But the family's income still depended on her husband, so she had no choice.
As Mr. Lin came home every day with a uglier and uglier look on his face, Jiang Jiangyu watched all this thoughtfully, wondering if the situation had gotten so bad that the old man was going to give up on the old lady.
Standing in the yard, thinking about what his youngest son said that night, Jiang Jiangyu felt the same way. This approach was undoubtedly hurting others by a thousand while hurting himself by eight hundred.
When she thought about her future daughter-in-law being inferior to others in every way, she felt sorry for her two outstanding sons. And an idea deep in her heart was about to stir.
Jiang Jiangyu hesitated for a long time, finally bit her lip, resolutely went back to the bedroom to change clothes, put on her bag, said hello to her aunt, and went out.
Thinking about facing the family members in the compound, she looked at her clothes again and secretly encouraged herself. It's okay! It's been so long, and I was just deceived.
Jiang Jiangyu, trying to forget the stain on his life, got on the bus and spent five cents to return to the compound.
Standing at her mother's door again, she couldn't help but look towards the small courtyard behind. She was back again, the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family.
"Oh, come in quickly. Mom just made some pumpkin pie today, and I was just waiting for your dad to get off work so I could send some over to your house. Why haven't the two Shengli brothers come to my place these past two days?"
Mrs. Jiang, with her silver hair, happily pulled her daughter in, then locked the door, unlike usual, which was wide open. This child had only just returned to the compound; she must be ashamed of her past misdeeds. However, once you've made a mistake, it's okay to correct it. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's never too late to correct them.
As a daughter, Jiang Jiangyu had no way of knowing what Mrs. Jiang was thinking, but that didn't stop her from being grateful to her mother. Once the door was closed, the family members upstairs and downstairs could avoid seeing each other.
She would rather avoid seeing the person than not see him. She doesn't want to see the strange looks from outsiders.
"Your two grandchildren are out and about all the time. I haven't even spoken to them in days. God knows what they're busy with. Mom, did you peel the pumpkin pie this time?"
Old Mrs. Jiang nodded with a smile. "I'll go. If you don't like it, how can I not be naughty? Your father gave me three pounds of flour this month. I steamed it all and gave some to you brothers and sisters so that the children can have a taste."
"You are so generous. Why don't you keep the good things for yourself? Why are you worried that the younger generation won't have the chance to eat good things?"
Old Mrs. Jiang happily pulled her into the kitchen. "It's okay. The children will grow taller if they eat it. It's a waste for me at my age to eat it. I dried a lot of vegetables for you. Remember to take them with you when you go back. Mailing a package is very expensive. The shipping fee is enough to buy several truckloads of cabbage."
"No, I've grown quite a lot over there, and I usually eat in the cafeteria. How much can you grow in your small yard?"
"No, you have to take it. This belongs to my son-in-law, not to you. I didn't give it to your sister-in-law even when she asked for it." At this point, Mrs. Jiang slapped her head and said, "By the way, your second sister-in-law said she has asked a few families and asked you to go visit her when you are free. Could this be the family she found for Xiaozhen?"
Jiang Jiangyu nodded, "It's too late for the eldest girl to find it. I must pay attention to this earlier."
"You...why don't you ask your child what she thinks first? She's in the army now, and it would be best if she could find a partner who's in the military. Finding someone from outside wouldn't be a good match."
Jiang Jiangyu sneered, "Who said I would let her serve in the army forever? Once the three years are up, she can be immediately transferred to civilian work and assigned to an easier job."
Old Mrs. Jiang frowned deeply. She recalled what her husband had said to her privately and sighed. The Lin family was no longer what it once was. How could they possibly go back to the way they had been?
Jiang Jiangyu looked at her mother's expression, her heart tense. She asked cautiously, "Did my father find out something? Or are the higher-ups going to release the results?"
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Did your father-in-law say anything when he returned? Your husband didn't say anything to you either? I heard from your father that Boss Lin's application to go out of town was approved without his father's knowledge. Your father-in-law got really angry and slammed the table in the office."
When she said this, she saw her daughter's mouth drop open in shock, and continued, "They didn't mention it to you, so you just pretended you didn't know. Your father-in-law not only slammed the table, but also asked if his eldest son-in-law did it on purpose..."
Don't you think he was wronged? He'd been away on business for a long time, and it was his eldest son who submitted the application himself. Several people couldn't stand it and started arguing. They said he had low ideological awareness...
Your father said your father-in-law made a bad move. Originally, everyone had been giving him face, letting the parties involved go unpunished and letting things slide, but now that he's making such a fuss, he's no longer in the right...
And your father said that the Zhou family seemed to have made some great contributions this time, and even the chairman praised them a lot. I guess the results of those previous matters will come out soon..."
——It’s over!
Even before he finished listening, Jiang Jiangyu knew that this was the end. If even the old man was to be abandoned by the higher-ups, then there really was no other way.
The eldest brother's family is really inhumane. They actually arranged a way out long ago without making any noise. If the old man gave up the old lady, wouldn't the blame be on his family?
——You wish!
The more Jiang Jiangyu thought about it, the more anxious she became. She stood up and said hurriedly, "Mom, I'll go back first and come to see you later." Before she finished speaking, she was about to leave.
Old Mrs. Jiang grabbed her with one hand and asked her with a stern face, "Why are you going back? You can't make trouble with your son-in-law. Have you forgotten what you did before? Their family didn't say anything."
Jiang Jiangyu looked at his grabbed arm and sighed helplessly, "You misunderstood. I already have four children, why am I arguing with their father? I have to go home and take a look. If anything happens, I have to be there."
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the sky and shook her head decisively, "It's almost time, your father will be home soon. Wait until he comes back before going back. You have such a bad temper, you will definitely get into trouble if you go back now."
Jiang Jiangyu thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for my father to come back. It just so happens that I have something to say to him." She looked at her arm, and didn't sit down again until the old lady let go of her hand half-believingly.
"My dear, there's nothing you can't overcome. If something does happen, it won't be a problem as you're far away. It's best not to return to this land in the capital.
Your mother-in-law is nothing but a piece of shit! She's done so many evil things, no matter how she's punished, it's a shame for my grandchildren. Who would dare to marry into a family like that? I think you shouldn't look for a daughter-in-law in the capital, just find one locally."
It would have been fine if the old lady hadn't mentioned her children's marriages, but when she brought up Jiang Jiangyu, she remembered what her youngest son had said, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred. This time, if she didn't push that damned old woman out, the whole family would be left hanging, and if she did, her reputation would be ruined. Her sons, her two excellent sons, would be ruined in their hands.
