Chapter 222: Life of a Supporting Actor (Part 2)



Jiang Dani recently encountered a troublesome matter, which came from Xiang Qianjin's second aunt, Yin Hong, who is Xiang Qianjin's biological mother.

As early as several years ago, Jiang Dani and her husband Xiang Qianjin applied for unpaid leave. One of them worked as the chief designer in a garment factory, and the other supervised the branch of a transportation company in the capital. They also opened several car dealerships, mainly engaged in car washing and repairing cars, and were also responsible for any problems with bicycles and motorcycles. Over the years, the couple made a lot of money. In addition to putting some of it in the bank for peace of mind, they also listened to Jiang Yilu's advice and bought a house and hoarded land. They brought their two daughters to the capital early. Since they were busy with work, they also hired a nanny to take care of the two children's daily life. Their life was comfortable and fulfilling.

The source of the trouble came from money and the two positions that had been put on unpaid leave.

Now the times are developing, but in the eyes of most people, the position of worker is still a stable job. As long as one can become a worker, they will never have to worry about food and drink in this life. The Xiang family, who were far away in Xiaoqiu Village, got the news from somewhere and learned that Xiang Qianjin and his wife had made a fortune with Jiang Yilu, so they even gave up their jobs and moved to the capital with their family.

Now the job position can be passed down from father to son and brother to brother. Xiang Qianjin's brothers are all farmers who have been coveting his job for a long time. Now that they have applied for unpaid leave, their minds are even more restless. It's good that Xiang Laoshi is alive. When Xiang Laoshi died, those demons and monsters were no longer suppressed and all ran out.

The incident broke out at Xiang Laoshi's funeral.

If there was anyone in his original family that Xiang Qianjin still had feelings for, it would have to be Xiang Laoshi. After he was adopted by his third uncle who died young, he still sent money to Xiang Laoshi every month. The amount was not much, just enough for him to smoke dry tobacco, drink a little wine, and live a more comfortable life. However, if other brothers wanted money, there would be no extra.

Jiang Dani also knew about this matter. Xiang Qianjin made this decision after discussing it with Jiang Dani. Jiang Dani understood that after all, Xiang Laoshi was his biological father and he cared about him wholeheartedly. Such an elder should be respected.

As soon as the news of Xiang Laoshi's death came, Jiang Dani and Xiang Qianjin put down all the work they were doing and hurriedly took their ten-year-old daughter Xiang Yang and four-year-old daughter Xiang Nuan from the capital to Xiaoqiu Village to attend the funeral.

Xiang Laoshi passed away in a hurry. He suffered a cerebral infarction while working in the fields. He died before he could even be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Because Xiang Qianjin was adopted out, he could only accept the gifts of a son or nephew, but as for the funeral expenses, Xiang Qianjin paid his share as a son, and paid out of his own pocket to choose a cemetery with good feng shui for Xiang Laoshi and bought a good coffin for burial.

But he didn't expect that because of his respect and guilt for his biological father, his brothers saw hope and they started to cling to him.

"Third brother, look at you, you've only given birth to two girls. The government is investigating so strictly now, you and your wife probably won't be able to have any more children. Doesn't this mean you will have no descendants?"

On the first day Xiang Qianjin and Jiang Dani arrived, at the dinner table, in front of everyone, Yin Hong spoke to Xiang Qianjin and Jiang Dani as an elder.

Xiang Qianjin frowned. First of all, he didn't like what his mother said. Especially when he saw the curious and puzzled looks of his two daughters, his annoyance reached its peak.

"I have Niu Niu and Ya Ya and they are fine. You don't need to worry about them, Second Aunt." Xiang Qianjin called Second Aunt coldly, which made Yin Hong feel sad and heartbroken.

That was her biological son, but because of a woman, he became estranged from her. Now he calls her Second Aunt, but she is his biological mother.

Yin Hong felt sour in her heart, but when she saw the look in her daughter-in-law Xiu Li's eyes, she swallowed her grievance and continued, "Your eldest brother has three sons. The third one is six years old this year and has been raised to be smart and cute. I think it would be better to adopt Tie Niu as your child, so that you two will have someone to rely on when you are old in the future."

"It doesn't have to be Tieniu, third brother. If you think Tieniu is too old, our Tiedan is only three years old this year and doesn't know anything yet. Once he is raised, he will be no different from our own child. Besides, we are brothers. My son is your son." Xiang Qianjin's sister-in-law said hurriedly.

No one wants to let the eldest son's family enjoy such a good thing alone. You know, the third son's family is very rich now, and if their son is adopted, all the money will belong to their son when they die.

Several other brothers who were heading forward also recommended their sons, which caused Yin Xiuli to glare at them. However, under the temptation of money, no one paid any attention to her.

Everyone can see their little tricks. Xiang Qianjin really can't understand how this person can be so shameless.

The Tie Niu his mother was talking about wanted to snatch Yaya's new schoolbag on the first day they met. Niu Niu tried to stop him, but Tie Niu even wanted to hit her. If he adopted a child like this, he would definitely bully his two daughters to death.

"Daughters are money-losing goods. Sooner or later, they will get married. Are you planning to give all your money to outsiders? Qianjin, listen to your mother. Your nephews are all smart and filial. You can pick any one of them. They will definitely be filial to you in the future. Besides, they are the successors of the old Xiang family. Don't let your elbow go out of your way."

Yin Hong said earnestly, looking at Jiang Dani, she felt that this woman was not good at first. You see, she has not even given birth to a male child for Qianjin in all these years. She is just like her mother, destined to give birth to daughters. Her mother was luckier. After giving birth to a lot of children, she finally gave birth to a son. But for Jiang Dani, due to the current policy restrictions, she couldn't give birth even if she wanted to.

"Dani, you should understand this better than me. Why did your mother insist on sending your brother to the rescue? Wasn't it because she was afraid that your father would have no descendants? You can't be selfish. You can't have a child yourself, but you still don't allow Qianjin to be adopted. Look, your eldest brother and second brother are willing to give their children to you. That's such a great favor." Yin Hong pointed the finger at Jiang Dani who was standing aside, and spoke with great righteousness.

"Don't even think about it." Xiang Qianjin put down his bowl and chopsticks. If he hadn't remembered that his father's mourning hall was still in the main room, he would have overturned the table.

"Niuniu and Yaya are my daughters. If anyone dares to say that they are a waste of money, I will be rude to them. And I admit that I spent my money, and it is my business. It has nothing to do with you, so please don't worry about it."

Xiang Qianjin said this in a stern voice, and held Jiang Dani's hand tightly under the table, telling her not to be sad because of what those idiots said.

Jiang Dani has been tempered in the capital for so many years and is no longer the same girl she used to be. As long as her husband stands on her side and is not bewitched by those confused people, she has no reason to be sad.

"That's not what you mean." Yin Hong wanted to persuade him again.

"No need to say, I am my father's son, and have nothing to do with your second branch. Even if there is no offspring, it will be our third branch, so please don't worry about it, second aunt."

Xiang Qianjin stood up and said to his wife, who had also put down her chopsticks and bowls, and his two daughters, "We are not welcome here. Let's go to my uncle's house and sit down. We don't have to be annoying here."

After saying that, Xiang Qianjin took his eldest daughter's hand, held the younger girl in his arms, and turned to walk out.

He will do his best at his father's funeral, but that doesn't mean he will sacrifice his wife and daughter for it. Since he married Jiang Dani, he always remembers that now they are a family.

Before leaving, Jiang Dani took away all the specialty gifts they brought from the capital. She had originally wanted to save some face for each other, but now it seems that they have no shame at all, so why should she leave these things behind and let the other party take advantage of them?

"Mom, you still remember the reason why I split up the family business. I still keep that thing." When he reached the door, Xiang Qianjin turned around and said, his face turning pale in an instant.

Those who were reluctant to let the gifts be taken away and wanted to chase after them were stopped by Yin Hong.

******

Yin Hong thought of what happened that year and became much more honest. The other members of the Xiang family could not find out what happened that year, and they were still angry. Xiang Qianjin's attitude was too firm, and there was no hope of adoption, so they set their sights on the jobs that Xiang Qianjin and his wife had taken while on unpaid leave. They were planning to wait until the day of Xiang Laoshi's funeral to bring up the matter at his grave, but they heard that Xiang Qianjin and his wife had given the two jobs to two juniors from Xiang Dabo's family who had finished junior high school but had not been assigned a job.

Before they could figure out the argument, Xiang Qianjin and Jiang Dani left in a hurry after attending the funeral. They wanted to go to the capital to find Xiang Qianjin, but they were always stopped by people on Xiang's uncle's side with various reasons, or they would notify Xiang Qianjin in advance to prepare and avoid them in time.

The round-trip fare to the capital was not cheap, and the work in the fields was also delayed. Over time, the second branch of the Xiang family finally gave up the idea of ​​looking for Xiang Qianjin, and just stayed in that small place for the rest of their lives in misery.

A few years later, Xiang Qianjin heard the news that Yin Hong was ill, but his brothers all passed the buck to each other and refused to treat her. However, they also fought over the Xiang family's old house and left Yin Hong in the hospital to fend for herself.

Xiang Qianjin sent some money to Uncle Xiang to use for Yin Hong's medical treatment, as a way of repaying her for giving birth to him.

Throughout his life, he fulfilled his promise to Jiang Dani, pampered her and loved her, gave her the happy family of her dreams, watched his daughters get married and have children, and in his later years, Xiang Qianjin took Jiang Dani on a trip across the country, which was a belated romance.

The author has something to say: I feel like everyone has a lot of opinions about chapters 219 and 220. It seems that everyone wants Jiang Wenqing to be the official partner of Pang Pang. I am so conflicted. Let me see what everyone thinks. If most people agree, I will revise those two chapters tomorrow. Tomorrow's update will be the revised two chapters. Please express your opinions in the comment section. I have softened my ear once again.
