Chapter 51: Visiting My Daughter-in-law
Jiang Xianli didn't say anything, but she was indeed very happy.
Own a house, a car, savings, be cared for and protected.
This was something she had never gotten in her entire life.
But in this life, she just married Xie Jingcheng and had everything.
She worships money, but she is also a vulgar person, especially after living two lifetimes.
She knew very well that feelings were a luxury, while material things and money were real.
Apart from love and marriage, Xie Jingcheng is also her greatest benefactor in her life and the best family member to her.
…
Soon it was Jiang Xianming's wedding day.
That day, Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng had breakfast and went to Jiang's house.
An auditorium has been set up in the Jiang family's yard.
"Oh, Jingcheng is here, Jingcheng." Zhao Xiumei smiled widely, "Jingcheng thanks you for preparing a fleet for Xianming. It will be so stylish to pick up the bride."
"You're welcome. We're all family, it's only natural."
"Jingcheng is so considerate, please sit inside."
"good."
Jiang Xianli brought Xie Jingcheng to greet all the neighbors and relatives, and then they went to Jiang Xianhong's room to hide for a while. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xianhui also pulled Wu Jianting in.
Jiang Xianhui said in a gloomy tone, "Rich second brother-in-law, should we prepare 10,000 yuan for the gift later?"
Without waiting for Xie Jingcheng to speak, Jiang Xianli said, "With Big Sister here, it's not our turn to be in the limelight. We will follow whatever Big Sister does. Besides, if we do 10,000, you can't keep up, right?"
"You..." Jiang Xianhui gritted her teeth, "Humph! Today is a big day for our family, I won't bother with you, big sister, how much do you want to say?"
Jiang Xianhong thought for a moment and said, "We are an ordinary family. When brothers get married, sisters usually give 60 yuan as gifts. If we want to be like others, we will definitely have to complain, but we can't be eccentric and break the rules. We can just give a little more than others. Let's all give 66 yuan."
Jiang Xianli had no objection, "Okay."
Jiang Xianhui was in a dilemma, "Sister, can you lend me 30 yuan? You know, I gave all my earnings to mom before. Now Jianting and I have big expenses and we have to pay rent to mom. I... can't afford 60 yuan as a gift."
Jiang Xianhong is kind-hearted and has been good to all of her brothers and sisters since they were young. She would never embarrass Jiang Xianhui on such a happy day.
He gave her 30 yuan and said, "Just bear with it for a while. Jianting will graduate next year and get a job. Your life will be better."
"Yes, thank you, big sister."
At ten o'clock, the bride was brought back. At ten-eighteen the newlyweds had their wedding ceremony. There was a banquet at noon, and then the guests all went back.
Jiang Xianli originally wanted to leave, but four country folk came knocking on the door.
"Excuse me, is this Jiang Xianhui's home?"
Zhao Xiumei looked them over and said with some disdain, "Yes, who are you and what do you want from her?"
"She is my eldest daughter-in-law."
The woman who was speaking was called Tian Cuiping. Her face was tanned from the sun and when she smiled she revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Wu Jianting rushed out of the house and said in shock, "Dad, Mom, little brother, little sister, why are you here?"
His wife hadn't had time to tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law that his family was coming.
Tian Cuiping smiled and said, "We missed you so much and wanted to see our daughter-in-law, so we came early."
Wu Jianting walked up to her and whispered, "Then why did you bring your younger brothers and sisters with you?"
"They are both adults now. You have made a living by marrying a woman from the city, so I wanted to bring them here so that your wife's family can help them find jobs. Otherwise, they will have to farm at home for the rest of their lives, right?"
Jiang Xianhui also came out of the house. She looked at the four country people. Although she was full of disgust, she still had a smile on her face.
"Hey, this is mom, dad, and brother and sister, right? They have come from so far away, Jianting, please let them in."
Tian Cuiping looked around Jiang Xianhui for a few times and nodded, "Not bad, Jianting is indeed a college student. He has good taste in finding a wife. She is good-looking and has a good figure. She will definitely give me more grandchildren."
She smiled and asked Jiang Xianhui, "Daughter-in-law, you and Jianting have been married for a while, are you pregnant?"
Zhao Xiumei got angry when she heard her say that.
"I'm telling you, sister-in-law, your son is unemployed now, and my daughter is the only one who can support the family. If she gets pregnant, who will take care of the child?"
Tian Cuiping said, "I'm here now. I've made up my mind. I'll let Jianting's father find a job in the city, and I'll help Jianting and his wife cook and take care of the kids. I've worked hard all my life, and my son is about to graduate and get a job, so we can come and enjoy a good life."
"Are you guys ready to leave?"
"Yes, I'll have to trouble you to find a job for Jianting's father and his brothers and sisters."
Zhao Xiumei's jaw dropped in shock and she almost couldn't breathe.
"Do you think it's so easy to find a job in the city? I've already been laid off, where can I go to find a job like you guys?"
She had never seen this relative-in-law have the nerve to ask for so much help the first time he came to visit.
"My dear, you misunderstood. We don't want formal jobs. We are country folk with strength. We can do anything, such as cleaning, washing dishes, moving bricks, and all the dirty and strenuous work."
“That’s also…”
Zhao Xiumei swallowed her words back halfway through her sentence.
If the Wu family could get a job here, then the life of her family would be improved and they wouldn't have to live in their house anymore.
Then he turned to look at Xie Jingcheng, "Jingcheng, doesn't your factory often recruit workers? Can you see if there is anything..."
"Mom!"
Jiang Xianli glared at her directly, "You forgot what I said before, right?"
Zhao Xiumei shrank her head, "I...amn't I also helping the Xie family recruit workers?"
"unnecessary!"
"I see."
Jiang Xianli grabbed Xie Jingcheng's arm and said, "Let's go home."
"good."
Although Xie Jingcheng was willing to help the Jiang family a little, the Wu family had nothing to do with him, so he naturally had to listen to his wife.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Xianhui said, "Second sister, I know you hate me and won't help me, let alone Jianting and his family. So you should take my eldest sister to live with you first. Jianting's father, mother, brother and sister are unfamiliar with this place, and I can't find a place for them to live for a while. They can only live at home temporarily, but there is no vacant room at home at the moment, so I can only vacate the room where my eldest sister lives."
Jiang Xianli exhaled slightly and said with a smile, "You may have forgotten that this house belongs to my brother and Xianyang. Not to mention you, even mom can't make the decision. You let so many people live here, have you asked your sister-in-law?"
"I..." Jiang Xianhui had no choice but to ask Ding Yuanyuan for her opinion, "Sister-in-law, can my parents-in-law stay here for a few days?"
Ding Yuanyuan's face was not looking good. "Although we are all family, it's better to say ugly things in advance. When there are too many people, life will definitely be chaotic and it will be easy to cause trouble. But I am not the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's lives. They will stay for three days at most. If they really don't want to leave the city, you should find a house for them as soon as possible. It would be best if you and your brother-in-law move out together. After all, you are also a member of the Wu family now."
