Chapter 116: Good news to announce
Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng did not go to Jiang's house empty-handed.
A box of American ginseng, two boxes of bird's nests, a leg of lamb, and two large carps.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Xianhong and Wu Peng were also there.
The two of them also carried a lot of things.
Three pounds of beef, five pounds of pork, two cans of honey, two bags of cereal, and some vegetables and fruits.
Zhao Xiumei and Ding Yuanyuan were drying quilts in the yard. They were quite surprised to see them coming.
"What day is it today? Why are my two ladies here?"
Jiang Xianli smiled for once, "The weather is good today, so let's go back and take a look."
Zhao Xiumei looked at all these things and smiled till her mouth reached her ears. As she took the things, she said, "It's really not in vain that I raised this lady. Now I can finally enjoy the blessing of being a lady."
In the past, Jiang Xianhong, when you were with Zhang Yunlai, you could not come more than twice a month.
Although I buy things every time I come here, they are all worthless.
Since Jiang Xianli married into the Xie family, Jiang Xianhong married Wu Peng.
Every time the two sisters came back, they bought enough chicken, fish, meat and eggs to last them for ten days. There were also snacks all the time at home, and they could occasionally wear new clothes. They could save most of the monthly salary given by their old man.
After living for several decades, Zhao Xiumei only recently felt that her life had become more comfortable.
Ding Yuanyuan was also very enthusiastic, "Big sister, second sister, big brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, come in and sit down."
The Jiang family has only one courtyard, and the whole family lives together.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law is diligent and protective of her, her father-in-law doesn't care about anything, her brother-in-law is sensible and polite, and although her husband is not so smart, he listens to her.
Moreover, her parents-in-law pay for her living expenses when she lives with them, so she has hot meals to eat when she comes home from get off work.
One elder sister-in-law, two younger sisters-in-law, and the difficult one has severed ties.
The remaining two never interfered in her mother's family affairs and didn't come often, but when they came they would buy a lot of food and she would eat some too.
Therefore, she was quite satisfied with marrying into the Jiang family. When her elder and younger sisters-in-law came to visit, she was willing to entertain them well.
Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Let's not sit inside. The sun is so bright today. I brought mahjong with me. Let's play mahjong in the yard and bask in the sun. Last time, my eldest brother-in-law cooked the meal. Today, our mother will cook and our father will light the fire."
"That's fine."
Ding Yuanyuan hurriedly called out to Jiang Xianming to move the table and benches.
Jiang Xianyang also came out of the house, "Ah! My two brothers-in-law and sisters are here."
Xie Jingcheng hugged him and said, "You must be tired from studying every day. Take a break today and change your mind. Come sit down and play mahjong with your sister."
"I...I'm not very good at it."
"It's okay. I'll teach you."
Xie Jingcheng pushed Jiang Xianyang onto the stool, and Jiang Xianli also pulled Ding Yuanyuan to sit down, "Come on, sister-in-law, let's play."
Ding Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I won't play anymore. We have so many people and so many dishes. Mom can't handle it all by herself. I'll help her cook."
"Let my brother go."
Jiang Xianming said: "Okay, wife, have fun, I'll go help our mother."
Ding Yuanyuan was also very happy, "Okay then."
She suddenly felt that having more brothers and sisters was not a bad thing. As long as no one had any bad intentions, the whole family could live in harmony and happiness.
Wu Peng said to Xie Jingcheng, "We are still missing one person. Please take a seat."
"I'm not playing. I'm serving tea to my wife and giving Yangyang some pointers."
"You want to cheat on your wife, right?"
"Am I that kind of person? Big sister, come and sit down."
Jiang Xianhong shook her head and said, "I can't do it. I don't even know the cards. Let Wu Peng do it."
Finally, Wu Peng, Ding Yuanyuan, Jiang Xianli, and Jiang Xianyang sat together to play mahjong.
Jiang Xianhong cut the fruit plate and took some snacks of melon seeds and peanuts and placed them beside it.
Xie Jingcheng also took a set of tea sets and a tea table from the trunk of the car and made some tea.
Zhao Xiumei was happily humming a little tune while cooking in the kitchen. As long as her family was doing well, she would work hard.
At nearly eleven o'clock, Jiang Xianhui's voice was heard at the door.
"Mom, Mom..."
She actually pinched her throat and acted coquettishly, and then she and Wu Jianting walked in side by side, each holding something in their hands.
When Jiang Xianhui saw so many people, she raised her head and acted proudly as if she was already the wife of a rich family or an official.
"Hey...everyone is here. I have some good news to announce today."
Everyone in the yard looked at her as if she were a fool, but no one said anything.
Originally, Jiang Xianhui had no conflicts with her brothers, sisters and younger brother, but her actions were really incredible and broke the hearts of her family members.
So now no one in the Jiang family likes her.
Zhao Xiumei walked out of the kitchen and looked at Jiang Xianhui and Wu Jianting who were both dressed up. She couldn't help but mock them. They were two brainless idiots who were not presentable. They hadn't even made any money yet, but they were already showing off everywhere.
He shouted, "Who let you in? Get out!"
Jiang Xianhui stamped her feet and continued to act coquettishly, "Mom, this is my home. Look, everyone in our family is here. Jianting and I are back. Isn't this a perfect reunion?"
"Pooh!"
Zhao Xiumei said with disgust: "This is not your home. You are no longer a member of the Jiang family since you signed the divorce agreement. Besides, this house belongs to Xianming and Xianyang. I am just staying here as a guest. What qualifications do you have to come here? If you have any shame, you will not come here again."
Jiang Xianhui's eyes turned red and she almost cried.
"Of course I have to save face, but I care more about my mother. I had no choice but to sign the marriage contract. You know, I have been the most filial since I was a child. Facts have proved that what I did was right. Now Jianting has returned from studying abroad. After the Chinese New Year, he will go to work in a Sino-foreign joint venture machinery factory, with a monthly salary of 600. He is so outstanding that he will be promoted to manager in a few years and will definitely earn thousands of yuan a year..."
"No!"
Before Jiang Xianhui finished speaking, Wu Jianting interrupted her and said, "I go to work to learn, to learn other people's skills, management methods, and to build my own network. In the future, I want to open my own factory and make a lot of money."
He held Jiang Xianhui's hand and said with deep affection, "I will definitely make you a rich lady that everyone envies, and I will not let you live a worse life than your two sisters. When the time comes, you can quit your job and stay at home. We will have three or five children, and I will find a few nannies to take care of you."
Jiang Xianhui hugged him with emotion, "Jianting, I chose you regardless of everything at the beginning, and I knew you would not let me lose."
“Tsk!”
Zhao Xiumei was really vomiting, "If you want to put on a show, don't do it in my house. Damn it, get out of here."
As she spoke, she picked up the broom at the base of the wall and tried to hit Jiang Xianhui and Wu Jianting, "Get out, get out...get out quickly..."
The originally good mood was turned into something as disgusting as if these two people had eaten a fly.
