Hearing this, Jiang Jiangyu angrily shouted, "What a niece! She's just my husband's adopted daughter."
The old lady curled her lips in disapproval. "If something immoral were to come out, then it must be denied." But it had nothing to do with her, so it was enough to just bring it to her attention.
"Can I have a drink of water first?"
Jiang Jiangyu regretted letting the other person in.
Without the other party saying anything, she could guess what the damn girl wanted to do. However, when she thought about the packages that her eldest sister-in-law secretly gave to her daughter and she took so many of them, she calmed down and waited for what was going on.
That's right. Thousands of miles away, Chen Jingru, concerned about her husband and son's future, didn't dare to apply for permission to travel to the northwest. But she secretly sent packages to her brother-in-law to pass on to her daughter.
She knew her brother's wife's character very well, and she deliberately asked Lin Aidang to sign for the packages every time, just to make her brother-in-law feel a little sympathy for her niece for the sake of her elder brother.
But she overlooked one point. No man would want to be involved with a woman with such problematic behavior. Moreover, in this small family, Jiang Jiangyu still had the final say.
Whenever Lin Aidang received a package, he would simply hand it over to his wife, letting her handle the arrangements. As for whether there were more or less, after Zhou Jiao's experiences with the packages, it was unknown whether he did so intentionally or unintentionally, but he never asked again.
As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to live in the same house.
Jiang Jiangyu picked up a broken bowl, filled it with well water and handed it to her.
"Big sister, another bowl please."
Jiang Jiangyu glanced at her expressionlessly, then broke the bowl and handed it to her. Looking at the other party's dirty black claws stretched out, he secretly felt sorry that there was one less broken bowl in the house.
After the triangular-eyed lady finished her drink, she darted her eyes around. This little action, which she thought no one noticed, made Jiang Jiangyu even more upset.
With a cold face, she pretended to cough a few times to remind the other party.
The triangular-eyed lady immediately slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me, look at me, I'm so hungry."
Seeing this, Jiang Jiangyu quickly changed the subject: "Tell me, what did she want you to say? I'm not saying anything bad about her, but it's not easy for the family to raise her, how could she be wronged? This loser... Well, tell me."
A flash of anger flashed across the eyes of the triangular-eyed woman, but then she put on a flattering smile. "She asked me to pass on a message last month, but I really couldn't leave. Now I have to prove it. I finally used my connections and spent a lot of money to come here. That child is so pitiful..."
Jiang Jiangyu let out a soft "humph" from her nose. She didn't feel sorry for Lin Xuelin at all. She felt sorry for her four children who were implicated.
Putting everything else aside, the eldest son's path to success was completely ruined by that damn girl. How could the daughter-in-law he married now compare to the noble ladies in the capital? Not to mention that she hadn't even gotten pregnant since they got married.
Whenever Jiang Jiangyu thought of the bleak future of his children, he wished he could eat the dead girl's flesh alive.
"...She said she couldn't bear it any longer and wanted you to tell her mother to transfer her to another place for labor reform. After that, she will return what you want..."
Jiang Jiangyu's heart was pounding with excitement. Did this little girl really have some gold? That year, when she was transferred back to Beijing, she had promised him ten small yellow croakers.
This was also the reason why she had always hated the old lady. Her eldest son was the eldest grandson, but he was so generous that he had already supported the eldest son's family.
The triangular-eyed lady finished speaking, looked at her face, and seeing that she remained silent, she continued, "There's one more thing. She said she knew how much dowry that bitch had and where she hid it."
Jiang Jiangyu suddenly stood up and paced back and forth on the ground. If the reward for the previous task had made her hesitate, this final condition was too tempting.
She recalled the conditions the middle-aged woman had mentioned: wasn't it about bringing down the Zhou family? No one knew how much dowry the elder sister-in-law had prepared for her daughter, but it must have been quite a bit.
If such evidence were given to that person, perhaps her family would be able to return to the capital in glory, and her two sons would have a bright future.
"Big sister, it's getting late. I have to hurry back. Just give me a definite answer. It would be best if you could bring me a token of gratitude to give to her."
Jiang Jiangyu suddenly came to her senses at the old woman's urging. She stopped and said with a smile, "Just let her stay on the farm for now. Since she was once my niece, I'll also pass these words on to her mother. As for whether it will succeed? That depends on her mother. Even if our family is willing, we don't have the ability."
"Then what can prove that I have been here?"
Jiang Jiangyu didn't make things difficult for her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Tell her that Yang Xiaozi now has two sons and a daughter. What else can she not believe?"
The old woman secretly cursed her for being so stingy. But how could she know that Jiang Jiangyu would not leave any evidence for Lin Xuelin? If she bit her, she would lose face and could not even wash away the shame.
Jiang Jiangyu now just wanted to get rid of the person quickly and take advantage of the daylight to rush to her eldest son Lin Dingsheng to discuss it. As for looking for her own man, she looked down on those who were afraid of death.
For this reason, she kindly gave the old woman two steamed buns from the kitchen and sent her out.
…
When a soldier in the military camp came over to call for help, Lin Dingsheng was chatting with his comrades. He was startled when he heard that someone from his family was looking for him.
"Who is it?"
"Who else could it be? Your wife. She said there were guests at home and asked me to hurry back if I could get some time off. Then she left in a hurry."
"Thank you." Lin Dingsheng said, looking at his comrades, "It must be urgent, otherwise my wife wouldn't come. I'll go back first, and you can help me if I need anything."
The comrade nodded: "No problem, let's go say hello to the battalion commander before we leave."
By the time Lin Dingsheng finished his leave and returned to the family compound, more than two hours had passed. When he got home, he saw his mother craning her neck anxiously, hoping for his return.
He asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here so suddenly? Grandpa shouldn't have replied so soon. Did you have a conflict with my dad? Does he know you're here?"
"Neither. Just drink some water and relax." Jiang Jiangyu patted the seat beside him. "I left a note for your dad, saying I'll be here for two days and then go back."
"Oh, that's good. I came over to see what my little brother is doing. I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to visit that guy. Where's Jiajia?"
The Jia Jia Lin Dingsheng was referring to was his wife, Qian Meijia, a cheerful arts soldier and the daughter of his superior.
"She said she had a mission in the group, so I asked her to go to work first."
Lin Dingsheng looked at the empty coffee table, frowned slightly, and then smiled: "She just doesn't know how to behave. What mission is more important than my mother? Mom, have you eaten? How about I make you some noodle soup?"
How could Jiang Jiangyu bear to let his son do it?
This is also why she doesn't like daughters-in-law who act like young ladies. If it weren't for the general among the short ones, a woman like this would never be worthy of her son a few years ago!
"Okay, I'm not hungry now. We'll have dinner later and we'll be together then. Boss, let's find a place to have a good chat. You have to make the decision on this matter."
Lin Dingsheng persuaded his mother not to worry, went into the bedroom, took out two apples, went back to the kitchen to wash them, added grapes and brought them out.
"Mom, let's go to the study. It's quiet there."
Jiang Jiangyu looked at his eldest son with a smile on his face, and remembered the perfunctory attitude of his daughter-in-law who had just come in. His nose felt sore, he nodded, turned around and went into the study first.
Lin Dingsheng looked at his mother's back, glanced at the bedroom door, his eyes flashed - thinking of his wife, it seemed that his mother was wronged when she came to his house.
He felt that he needed to explain to his wife again that no matter how bad his mother was, she was still his mother. One could change wives in this world, but he only had one biological mother.
