Chapter 40 My parents want to come and see you
Jiang Xianhong smiled bitterly, "You're right. With a house, even if you never get married, you'll have a family and you won't have to rely on a man to live."
When Jiang Xianli heard this, she felt that her elder sister could still be saved. She didn't want to divorce not because she was in love, but because she had no relatives to rely on.
"Sister, things are different now. Even if a woman doesn't have a house, she doesn't have to rely on a man. For example, you have a job, and the money you earn is enough to support yourself, and there is still some left. My house will be vacant after it is renovated, and you can live here."
Jiang Xianhong knew that her second sister had always wanted her to divorce Zhang Yunlai.
Sometimes she wanted to escape from Zhang's house overnight, but she was afraid of being scolded and gossiped about, so she could not make up her mind to divorce, always thinking that Zhang Yunlai might change for the better one day.
"Lili, thank you for thinking about me so much. Don't worry, I know what I am doing and I will not let the Zhang family kill me. When I can no longer live with him, I will definitely divorce him."
In this case, Jiang Xianli had nothing to say and could only ask her to keep the matter of the house a secret from everyone, especially her mother.
If her mother knew that she bought the house, she would definitely find ways to get in.
After looking at the house, Jiang Xianli took Jiang Xianhong to a mutton restaurant.
She remembered that when she was just admitted to university, her elder sister took her to eat mutton noodles to reward her.
A big bowl of noodles with only a few slices of mutton.
The two sisters shared the noodles, but the eldest sister was reluctant to eat even a single piece of mutton.
At that time, she vowed to study hard, work hard after graduation, and ensure that her elder sister would always have enough meat to eat.
Unfortunately, I was a stubborn person in my previous life, and I never achieved this goal until my death.
Jiang Xianli flipped through the menu and ordered two bowls of mutton stewed noodles, a scorpion iron pot, and two pounds of charcoal-grilled lamb chops.
When all the dishes were served, Jiang Xian was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Lili, why did you order so much? How can we finish it all?"
"Not much. We finally have a meal together, so we must enjoy it."
Jiang Xianli added a lamb chop to her dish and said, "Eat."
Jiang Xianhong took a bite and it was so delicious!
She hasn't tried lamb chops yet.
But halfway through the meal, she couldn't help but remind Jiang Xianli, "You've bought a house and renovated it, so you should save money in the future. With money in your pocket, you can live a more secure life."
Jiang Xianli nodded, "Yes, I still have some. I can afford to make you eat mutton for the rest of your life."
Before Jiang Xianhong could say anything, she heard a sarcastic voice coming from the side.
"Look, this second sister is married and rich, she even speaks differently. Wow! Lamb noodles, scorpions, lamb chops... what a rich spread."
As soon as Jiang Xianli raised her head, she saw Jiang Xianhui and Wu Jianting.
She was too lazy to bother with the two of them and just lowered her head to eat noodles.
Jiang Xianhong smiled awkwardly, "Third sister, third brother-in-law, what a coincidence."
"Yes, we are indeed born from the same mother. We are so in tune with each other. Today, the three of us sisters are together."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Wu Jianting to sit down, and unceremoniously reached out her chopsticks to the pot of steaming scorpions.
Jiang Xianli picked up a pair of chopsticks and tapped them on the back of her hand.
"Excuse me, it's my treat, who gave you the face to eat it?"
Now that her mother was not around, Jiang Xianhui's suppressed dissatisfaction with Jiang Xianli finally exploded.
She said loudly, "I am your biological sister. You ordered so many things. What's wrong with me sitting down and eating a little?"
Jiang Xianli looked at her and said, "Are you sure you want to yell at me? Then I don't mind giving you and my own sister..."
"shut up!"
Fortunately, Jiang Xianhui is a person who cares about her reputation. The fact that she and Wu Jianting slept together after getting drunk is a shame deep in her heart that she never wants to mention.
"Jiang Xianli, you are so cruel! But it doesn't matter. It won't be long before I get through this. Today, Jianting and I are here to celebrate his bright future."
Jiang Xianli sneered, "Humph! It won't be too late to celebrate after the military academy's special recruitment notice comes out."
"To tell you the truth, Jianting's admission is a done deal, and no one can change it!"
"Okay, I get it. Hurry up and stop ruining my appetite."
Jiang Xianli felt disgusted when she saw that both of them looked disgusting, but Jiang Xianhui chose the table next to them.
In her opinion, it wouldn't be long before she would become an official's wife that everyone envied and admired.
So I didn’t care about the money and just spent ten dollars to order a table of the same dishes as Jiang Xianli’s.
Wu Jianting has always been frugal, and he couldn't help but say, "Xiaohui, there are only two of us. It's a bit of a waste to order so many dishes."
Jiang Xianhui raised her head and said proudly, "Don't those two women eat so much? If they can afford it, so can we. Besides, I'm willing to spend more money on you."
She thought she was being very elegant and added a lamb chop to Wu Jianting's meal. "Husband, eat."
Wu Jianting chewed the meat, and although it tasted delicious, he couldn't help but think of his parents and his younger brothers and sisters who were still farming in the countryside. They were reluctant to eat meat for two or three months and saved all their money for his schooling.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Xiao Hui, my parents heard that you two have obtained your marriage certificate, so they want to bring the whole family to visit you and your parents."
Jiang Xianhui smiled and said, "Okay, after my brother gets married, my family will have nothing else to do, so let them all come over."
This beautiful daughter-in-law also wants to meet her parents-in-law. She doesn't want to go to the countryside. Since her parents-in-law are coming, she would be more than happy to have them.
Wu Jianting lowered his head and continued, "My parents have been frugal all their lives and don't have much money. I'm afraid they will come over dressed too poorly and embarrass you. Can you...can you lend me fifty yuan first? I'll mail it to my parents so they can buy some new clothes and bring some nice gifts. Don't worry...I'll definitely return the money to you when I get a job."
