Chapter 20 Husband and wife are supportive
Jiang Xianli naturally would not have dinner at Zhang's house, so she called Jiang Xianhong to the outside of the door.
He took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into her hand, "Sister, keep this money safe, don't let Zhang Yun take it away."
Jiang Xianhong shook her head and quickly declined, "Lili, I don't want it. I have money."
She knew that her second sister was still in school and that all her money came from the Xie family. She was afraid that the Xie family would look down on her second sister if she always asked for other people's money.
Jiang Xianli held her hand and said, "Okay, don't be polite to me. Big sister, our mother is old-fashioned and always thinks divorced women are shameful. But now is a new era, and there are so many divorced women. Besides, no one can let themselves suffer for the sake of what outsiders call face.
If you want a divorce, Yangyang and I will support you, don't be afraid."
Jiang Xianhong smiled, "Okay, I understand, but it hasn't come to that point yet. Your brother-in-law hasn't done anything to let me down. He just has some bad habits. I still want to persuade him more..."
Seeing her determined look, Jiang Xianli didn't want to say anything more.
Soon she would let her elder sister see with her own eyes how Zhang Yunlai had treated her unfairly.
After leaving Zhang's house, the sky gradually darkened and the rain, which had stopped for a while, started again.
Xie Jingcheng drove Jiang Xianyang back to Jiang's house first. Before getting out of the car, he took a stack of money from the drawer in front of the co-pilot seat and handed it to Jiang Xianyang.
"This is pocket money given to you by your second brother-in-law."
Although the money was only in five or ten yuan, it was at least two or three hundred yuan.
Even though Zhao Xiumei favored her son, she would only give Jiang Xianyang two yuan a week as pocket money. He had never seen so much money before.
He waved his hand quickly, "No need, brother-in-law. I'm usually in school, so it doesn't cost much."
But Xie Jingcheng stuffed it into his pocket, "If you continue to be polite, you will be alienated from my second brother-in-law."
He would spend more money than this when he went to dance halls and karaoke bars.
Among the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Xianli, he only likes her younger brother. He is happy, so what's wrong with giving him some money?
Jiang Xianyang looked at Jiang Xianli at a loss.
Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "Since it's given by my second brother-in-law, take it, but save it for yourself and don't give it to mom."
In the past, it was indeed difficult for her family to raise five children, but since her eldest brother and Jiang Xianhui both started working, her family no longer had to worry about food and clothing.
Moreover, her mother controlled the family's finances and had the betrothal gift from the Xie family, so she had no shortage of money.
Jiang Xianyang nodded, "I understand, second sister. It's getting dark now. Do you and your second brother-in-law want to have dinner before going back?"
"No, Mom didn't know we were coming, and she definitely didn't cook for us."
"Then drive slowly. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Before starting the car, Xie Jingcheng said to Jiang Xianli, "Come sit in the passenger seat."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Xianli didn't know what she was going to do, so she just sat down obediently.
He smiled and said, "Thank you so much today for supporting my elder sister."
Although they could not fundamentally change her elder sister's marital status, with Xie Jingcheng around, Zhang Yunlai would be more cautious and would not dare to be too harsh on his elder sister.
"No need to thank God, I told you, your sister is my sister." Xie Jingcheng said with a hint of sarcasm: "Jiang Xianli, I originally thought you were a well-behaved and sensible rabbit, but I didn't expect you to be a ferocious cat."
Jiang Xianli glanced at him and said, "I have a bad temper to begin with. My mother always says that I am the most stubborn person in our family."
"So you are dissatisfied with me, but you have to endure it because of the hardship of real life."
His marriage with Jiang Xianli was in name only. He had never cared about his social life before, let alone her feelings.
But she didn't expect that the news of him leaving home on his wedding night would become a hot topic. Others even made fun of Jiang Xianli for this and who knows how they would look down on her behind her back.
Jiang Xianli smiled, her clear eyes full of sincerity, "I swear to God, I am very satisfied with you. Before I married you, I thought you were a devilish young master who was addicted to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Apart from giving me some money, you would insult, scold and beat me when you were angry.
But the fact is, you are not only good-looking but also a business genius. Most importantly, you are not frivolous at all, you are honest and reasonable, and you are very good to me and my family.
Really, I feel like I am living a life like a god now. I am only grateful to you and have no resentment at all."
"But we are husband and wife after all. Don't you feel uncomfortable at all when I look for another woman?"
Jiang Xianli blinked, "Of course not. Didn't we agree on the wedding day not to interfere with each other's private lives? I know myself very well. If I was uncomfortable with you and made trouble for you every now and then, why would you marry me? Wouldn't it be better for you to marry someone who is of the same social status and can help your career?
As for husband and wife, I have always felt that these two words can be separated from love. Husband and wife mean support.
Two people get married to make their lives better, not to find someone to beat themselves up, to make trouble for themselves, and to make their lives a mess.
Although there is no love between us, we both want to live a relaxed and happy life. We want to be the best partners, not enemies with swords drawn and end up hurting each other. "
Xie Jingcheng said nothing, but an unconscious bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He had never seen anyone in the world who was calmer and more transparent than Jiang Xianli. It was his blessing to marry such a woman, and he should be happy.
But for some reason, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
