Chapter 157 Let’s Go Home
Jiang Xianli looked at her and saw that she looked a little crazy, but still couldn't remember.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you."
"How can I not know you? Your mother's name is Zhao Xiumei, my father's name is Zhao Xiugang, and I am your cousin."
Jiang Xianli finally remembered that Zhao Fang was indeed her cousin and Zhao Xiugang was her uncle.
Her grandparents were both veteran railway workers and had three children in their lifetime.
Her aunt is the eldest, her uncle is the second, and her mother is the youngest.
Her aunt married the son of the director of the Forestry Bureau.
My uncle and aunt also worked in the railway industry and became leaders.
Only her parents didn't have good jobs, and were often looked down upon by her grandparents.
During one Chinese New Year, her grandparents distributed New Year's money. Her cousins each received 1 yuan, but her brothers and sisters only received 1 cent each.
Her mother made a big fuss and never had any contact with her family again.
Counting the time, it has been more than ten years.
Jiang Xianli really had no impression of her cousin.
She smiled and said, "So you are my cousin. I was wondering why you looked down on me right away. So it turns out that this skill is passed down from our ancestors."
Zhao Fang is four or five years older than Jiang Xianli, so she naturally knows why her second aunt doesn't return to her parents' home.
Zhao Fang was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. She never expected that her second aunt's family would have such a good life.
It's amazing that the family could have a daughter who could marry a wealthy man like Xie Jingcheng, and she's still so young and handsome. If Jiang Xianli hadn't used some tricks to get Mrs. Xie, she would definitely have married Xie Jingcheng!
But now, because of Jiang Xianli, she not only cannot marry into a wealthy family, but also loses her job, and now she is insulting and scolding her.
How vicious!
But she had to swallow her anger and smiled at Jiang Xianli, "It's all a misunderstanding, cousin. After all, we are a family. Please ask your husband not to fire me."
"I'm sorry, I'm not liked by my husband, how can I care about his affairs?" Jiang Xianli held Xie Jingcheng's hand and smiled, "Husband, are you off work? Let's go home, I bought you some clothes."
"Yes." Xie Jingcheng nodded and took the bag. "Wow! Wife, you are so good to me."
After saying that, he kissed her on the forehead.
Then the two of them walked out as if no one was around, which made Zhao Fang stompling her feet in anger.
After getting in the car, Xie Jingcheng sat in the driver's seat, holding Jiang Xianli's hand and said, "How come you have time to come here today and buy me something?"
"I have received my work assignment. I know you must have helped me with it. Thank you."
"Just be happy. Whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll treat you. I wish you can fulfill your wish."
Jiang Xianli thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat fish head rice."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Four minutes later, Xie Jingcheng brought Jiang Xianli to a Sichuan restaurant.
Not only did I order braised fish head, I also ordered spicy chicken, twice-cooked pork, dry-roasted tendon, and fish-flavored eggplant.
Finally, Xie Jingcheng was afraid that she would not like the food too spicy, so he ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet corn soup.
First, have a bowl of white rice and pour the fish soup on it. It is fragrant and fresh. One bite will fully satisfy your taste buds.
Another bite of pig tendon is really spicy and satisfying.
Jiang Xianli also did not forget to put a piece of pork ribs into Xie Jingcheng's bowl, "Young Master, eat more."
"good."
After eating and drinking, it started raining when the two came out of the hotel.
Xie Jingcheng said to Jiang Xianli, "Stand still, I'll go get an umbrella from the car."
"OK."
Only three minutes later, Xie Jingcheng came back and handed the umbrella to Jiang Xianli.
"You hold it."
"good."
Then, Xie Jingcheng bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Jiang Xianli hugged his neck and looked at other people's eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I can walk on my own."
Xie Jingcheng said, "It's raining hard. Your shoes are so white. If they get wet, they won't look good. Be good and don't move."
…
The next day, when Jiang Xianli woke up, Xie Jingcheng had already gone to work.
I got out of bed and opened the curtains. It was still raining outside.
Just as I was about to wash up, my cell phone rang.
"Hello, Lili, this is your mom. Are you free today? Come home."
Jiang Xianli: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xiumei: "I'm fine. It's your grandparents and uncle and aunt. We haven't been in touch for more than ten years. Now they suddenly come to our house and say they have something to do, but they also insist on seeing you. I don't know why."
Jiang Xianli: "Okay, I'll go over later."
Her mother didn't know why, but she did.
After washing up, Jiang Xianli put on some light makeup, wore a gray long skirt with bare legs, and a brown wool coat on the outside.
After arriving at Jiang's house, she changed into the high heels she had prepared before getting off the car.
She was already pretty, and this outfit made her look even more noble.
When she walked into the yard, even Zhao Xiumei was stunned.
She must have been wrong when she was little. This second daughter of the emperor was no worse than the third daughter of the emperor in any way.
"Lili is here. It's Mom's fault for making you run here on such a rainy day."
Zhao Xiumei was talking about herself, but actually she was talking about her family.
Old Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xianli, sitting upright like an ancient Buddhist.
"You are my granddaughter Lili, right?"
"Yes, hello grandpa and grandma, hello uncle and aunt."
Although the two families had not had any contact for many years, Jiang Xianli did not lose the proper courtesy.
Mrs. Zhao, on the other hand, still looked proud. "Please sit down."
After Jiang Xianli sat down, Mrs. Zhao said to Zhao Xiumei, "You are such a heartless person. You can still hold a grudge against your family for so long. You didn't even inform us when Xianyang and Lili got married at such an old age."
Zhao Xiumei was also straightforward. She said in a cold voice, "You look down on our family. It is the best choice for us to never have anything to do with each other again. Now that you have come here suddenly, I don't think you are here to apologize. Just tell me what you want to say."
Old Madam Zhao glared at her and said sternly, "Fangfang offended Jiang Xianli at work yesterday and was fired by his boss. Jiang Xianli is responsible for this."
Zhao Xiumei was confused, "What unit does Fangfang work for? What does her expulsion have to do with our Lili?"
Her brother Zhao Xiugang hurriedly said, "Fangfang works in a private company, earning eight or nine hundred a month, sometimes thousands with bonuses. Just because Jiang Xianli came yesterday and she said a few words about Jiang Xianli, she was fired by her boss."
Zhao Xiumei frowned and said, "Why is your daughter talking about my daughter in a good mood? I know my daughter, she would never take the initiative to cause trouble. It must be Fangfang who was wrong first. Maybe the boss saw that she was bullying others and thought she had a bad character, so he wanted to fire her.
I was wondering why you came to our house, it turns out you are here to call me to task. I am no longer the person I was ten years ago who kept trying to please you. Now don’t even think about bullying me and my family anymore.”
In the past, when she went back to her parents' home, whenever her children had conflicts with her brothers and sisters' children, her parents would beat her children without asking for any reason, saying that the children of poor families were just uneducated.
She also repeatedly told her children not to steal things from their cousins and not to cause trouble.
Now that I think about it, she was such an idiot. The more she acted like this, the more people looked down on her.
Good people are often bullied. If you don't have a strong back, you have to use strong fists.
