Ever since she learned about Jiang Jiang and Tang Xiao's relationship, Old Madam Jiang would stroll around that area every day. Whenever she met Old Madam Xia, she would pull her aside to chat, and within three sentences, she would bring up Tang Xiao.
Because of this, Madam Xia doesn't come out when Madam Jiang goes for a walk.
Since Jiang Jiang became pregnant, Old Madam Jiang has been taking two walks a day instead of once a day.
If it weren't for the heat, I'd have to go four times a day, how could I not hear it?
"Is Xia Wenjing sick? Why is he still so persistent? His carefree blessings could have earned him some respect from everyone." Tao Ying couldn't understand it.
"He's always been concerned with appearances and putting on airs since he was a child, always acting like he's more mature and knows more than you," Jiang Huan mocked mercilessly.
"I'm leaving soon. If Xia Wenjing bothers you again, just give me a call. I'm taking the child's clothes with me." Jiang Huan found a basket and put the washed clothes in it.
"Okay, be careful." Tao Ying was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Huan to leave so quickly.
However, they did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Uncle Jiang, aren't you going to finish dinner before you leave?" Wang Chuntao couldn't help but ask after hearing their conversation.
Wang Baomin and Wang Baoshan glared at Wang Chuntao at the same time.
"I won't eat anymore. Uncle has things to do when he gets back. We'll eat next time he comes," Jiang Huan said with a gentle smile.
The four of them got up at the same time and came out to see Jiang Huan off.
"Mom, what's wrong with him?" Wang Baomin couldn't help but ask after Jiang Huan drove away.
"He's afraid Xia Ke's uncle will ruin his sister's reputation," Tao Ying replied impatiently.
"And who is Xia Ke?" Wang Baoshan pressed.
"Xia Wenjing's niece." Tao Ying turned to go back to her room.
"Xia Wenjing..."
"Get out!" Tao Ying shouted angrily.
The world is finally quiet.
"You two will find out who Xia Ke is tonight," Wang Chuntao kindly reminded them.
"Second brother, are you going to the bathhouse?" Wang Baoshan asked Wang Baomin.
"Why go to the bathhouse? I'm so sleepy." Wang Baomin scooped up a basin of water from the large vat outside, went back to his room, quickly washed up, and went to sleep.
Xia Ke and the others didn't return until 6 PM.
When they returned, Wang Baoshan was helping Wang Chuntao with her work.
Wang Baoshan not only took a shower, but also got a haircut.
She looked clean and neat.
"Mom, this must be Xia Ke?" Wang Baoshan appeared very polite.
Tao Ying rolled her eyes, wondering why there was so much drama.
He glanced again at Wang Baomin, who came out from behind with a scruffy beard.
I can't help but sigh. How can children born to the same parents be so different?
"This is Xia Ke, who got into the political and legal university here."
"Xia Ke, this is my second son, Wang Baomin, and this is my third son, Wang Baoshan. Baoshan was admitted to the architecture department of Tsinghua and Peking Universities."
Tao Ying introduced the group to the group.
"Where's that child?" Zhou Daya asked after waiting for a long time without seeing Jiang Huan.
"Jiang Huan went back at four o'clock." Tao Ying was speechless. This old lady.
"You sent him back?" Zhou Daya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
That silly girl, how could she be so reckless? That boy clearly has feelings for her.
With such a good family background, how could you not seize such a great opportunity?
“Mom, you’re my mother-in-law, not my biological mother,” Tao Ying sighed.
What kind of mother-in-law is this?
“Dazhu, it hasn’t even been a year yet. If you meet someone suitable, just go find someone. It’s better than working yourself to the bone for a pittance.” Zhou Daya was genuinely advising her.
I genuinely feel that Tao Ying has had a tough time.
“Mom, your thinking is wrong. You have to know that relying on mountains will lead to their disappearance, and relying on rivers will lead to their demise. People must rely on themselves, especially us women. Earning our own money is the key,” Tao Ying said earnestly.
"All I know is that a man is a man who provides food and clothing. Otherwise, why would I marry a man?" Zhou Daya felt she couldn't argue with Tao Ying and didn't want to debate with her.
"What if you were able to dress and feed yourself?" Tao Ying tried to change the angle.
“Then you can find a good man, right? Find someone you like, someone who knows how to sweet-talk you,” Zhou Daya said matter-of-factly.
Tao Ying thought, "..." It seems I was still too naive.
"Grandma, Mom, let's eat," Wang Chunni called out cautiously.
I always felt that my grandma and mom were subtly criticizing me, but I didn't dare to ask. I could only quietly call them to eat.
After dinner, everyone went outside to cool off.
Xia Ke and Wang Baoshan had a lot to talk about.
The main thing is that Wang Baoshan is good at bluffing.
Xia Ke was kept too tightly by Han Yajuan, and had never seen many things before.
So Wang Baoshan was so stunned by the tiger that he started calling him "Brother Shan".
"Xia Ke, why don't you go back to your room and rest? Will you come with me to sell clothes tomorrow?" Tao Ying said softly to Xia Ke.
"Of course I'll go. I've never had this experience before, Aunt Tao. I should have come sooner." Xia Ke nodded firmly.
They all regretted not coming here sooner; if they had come right after the college entrance exam, they would have had it so much easier.
"Aunt Tao, this is my food allowance." Xia Ke handed an envelope to Tao Ying.
"Take it back quickly. They get paid for working in the clothing store, 50 cents a day. The sales clerks are also provided with lunch." Tao Ying hurriedly declined.
"Aunt Tao, I can't help but bother you all the time. Just keep the food expenses and give me my wages as usual. I haven't earned any money yet. When I come back from winter break, I'll use my wages to buy my mom a gift." Xia Ke's eyes were bright.
“When you were in school, you had to live on campus. You could only come here a few days a month. Our mother and I are so close, do you think we need a few meals from you?” Tao Ying glared at Xia Ke.
Although we haven't spent much time together, I know exactly what kind of girl she likes.
“Okay, we’ll listen to Aunt Tao. The bond between us mother and daughter can’t be measured in money.” Xia Keman took the envelope back, deeply moved.
Xia Ke followed Wang Chuntao and Wang Chunni back to their room.
Just as Wang Baoshan was about to leave, Tao Ying grabbed him by the back of the neck, sealing his fate.
"Mom? What are you doing?" Wang Baoshan felt a little flustered.
"What do you mean? Why are you being so attentive to that girl?" Tao Ying glared at Wang Baoshan.
"Mom, I just saw your friend came to our house, so I'm helping you entertain him." Wang Baoshan's face was plastered with a cheap smile.
“Baoshan, that girl is not someone you can covet,” Zhou Daya advised from the side.
"Grandma, that's not what you just said. Why are you treating her differently?" Wang Baoshan looked at Zhou Daya in disbelief.
"Nonsense, how can men and women be the same? Besides, how old are you and how old is your mother? Your mother can endure being tormented by her mother-in-law for a few more years, while you can die before your mother-in-law does," Zhou Daya said mercilessly.
Tao Ying: "..." The old lady is really insightful.
I humbly admit defeat.
"Milk~" Wang Baoshan broke down.
"Alright, stop yelling. People need to know their own limitations." Zhou Daya said, putting her hands behind her back as she got up and went back to her room.
