Chapter 204 Jiang San's Troublesome Affairs
"Are you kidding me?"
"You specifically asked my dad to call me over so that my son Xiangyang could warn my third uncle not to mess around with other women?"
Jiang Jianni looked at her third aunt, who was gazing at her expectantly, with a look of utter disbelief.
"You actually want my Xiangyang to help you with this kind of trivial matter? Are you dreaming, Third Aunt?"
"What niece and niece-in-law would interfere in the private affairs of their uncle and his wife's family?"
"You may be shameless, but I still have a sense of shame."
"No, no, no, I can't help you with this. You should go back now."
It's quite shocking that Uncle Jiang started having affairs as soon as he made some money, but what's even more unbelievable is Aunt Jiang's behavior.
In both her lives, Jiang Jianni had only ever heard of people going to catch their husbands cheating with their siblings, best friends, and parents. She had never seen anyone ask their husband's nephew-in-law to warn the niece's uncle.
Although, in a sense, Uncle Jiang was in the wrong in this matter.
But there's also the principle of siding with reason, not with relatives.
Although Jiang Jiani didn't want to help the family or the people, why did Aunt Jiang think she would help her?
Is it because she and Uncle Jiang were behind the scenes plotting against Grandpa and Grandma Jiang, bullying Dad and Yang Yuemei?
She used to think that Aunt Jiang was a more shrewd and calculating person than Aunt Jiang, but now she realized that she was also a fool.
Aunt Jiang fell to her knees with a thud, completely disregarding any semblance of dignity, and tightly gripped Jiang Jianni's hand, sobbing uncontrollably, her face a picture of utter misery.
"Jiani, Jiani, you must help me."
“We’re both women, you’ll understand me.”
"Men with a little ability tend to get crooked. Your third uncle is like that. He just made a little money and doesn't know who he is anymore."
She also wanted to ask her brothers for help.
Despite his promiscuous behavior, Jiang San never considered divorce.
On the contrary, he treats his wife, children, parents and elders even better.
The family, young and old, can have a new set of clothes almost every week.
I also bought my wife a gold necklace, gold ring, and gold bracelet. A high-end watch, a must-have luxury item for women, was also a must—the women's watch that cost about a hundred yuan that I gave her when we first got married has officially taken a backseat.
He no longer finds fault with his wife's family as much as before.
The Yue family not only lent the money readily, but also helped the brother-in-law's child find a job—working with him in the clothing and shoe business.
As a result, the Yue family, who had always thought Jiang San was incompetent, now all think that Jiang San is a good person. Everyone who is of a certain status advises Jiang San's aunt to live a good life with Jiang San and to serve him comfortably and attentively.
When Aunt Jiang first discovered that Jiang San was having affairs, she had a fight with him and angrily went back to her parents' home.
As a result, her family members not only did not help her, but also criticized her for being unreasonable, saying that Jiang San was already working very hard in his business outside, so why couldn't she understand?
They even said that all men are like that, and that in the past, which capable man didn't have three wives and four concubines at home and many female confidantes outside?
Jiang San's aunt was taken back to the Jiang family home by her family less than half a day after returning to her parents' home. Her parents and brothers apologized to Jiang San, her grandparents, and said that they had spoiled their daughter and that she was being disobedient, and that they had already disciplined her.
Aunt Jiang was stunned.
I have absolutely no idea how things turned out this way.
She was willing to give Jiang San the cold shoulder, but Jiang San had other women luring him away and didn't even notice that she was giving him the cold shoulder. He even thought she was being sensible and rewarded her with a gold necklace of a different style.
Similar incidents occurred several more times afterward, and each time she went to her parents' home to look for them, only to be turned away each time.
Later, her family got impatient and told her to accept her fate and cherish what she had.
They say all rich men are like this; it's good enough if they don't divorce you. Do you only feel happy when you make a fuss every day and get a divorce?
The article also cited several examples of people getting divorced because they had money.
Without exception, the men would dump their first wives after making money and marry younger, prettier wives instead.
The present is different from the 1980s.
Especially in the early 1980s, self-employed individuals were looked down upon by everyone.
If a man is self-employed, no matter how rich he is, it will not be easy for him to find a good wife in the marriage market.
Entering the late 1980s, and especially the 1990s.
People are increasingly focusing on money, and self-employed individuals are no longer looked down upon; instead, they have become a group that ordinary people greatly admire.
Let alone getting a wife, changing wives is easy, and having a wife makes it even easier to keep several others outside.
People say this is standard practice for wealthy people, and they're not exaggerating.
Especially as the family's financial situation improved, Jiang San bought another house, which was decorated in the most luxurious style available at the time. The washing machine, refrigerator, television, electric fan, and other appliances inside were the largest sizes that could be bought on the market.
Jiang San also confidently told her that he would let her live in a villa in the future.
He said the women outside were just for business purposes; after all, everyone else did it, and if he didn't follow the crowd, he would be excluded and wouldn't be able to make money.
Aunt Jiang had never run a business before, so she didn't know if it was true or false, but in just a few months, not only her finances but also her values were completely shaken.
Gradually, people accepted that this was just how the world was.
Until yesterday.
A woman, her belly now quite prominent, came to the door, saying she was pregnant with Jiang San's child and demanding an explanation from him.
Jiang San not only didn't kick the woman out on the spot, but even Grandma Jiang was overjoyed, saying that their Jiang family was finally going to have another member.
That woman, in particular, was incredibly cunning.
She said she went to have an abortion as soon as she found out she was pregnant, but the doctor said her body couldn't handle it and that she wouldn't be able to have children again after the abortion. The doctor also said that the baby was a boy and it would be a pity to terminate the pregnancy.
She said she had never thought about marrying Jiang San, but she couldn't help but think about her future life.
She said she didn't want the child, but she felt sorry for the child and couldn't bear to send him to an orphanage or let him be an illegitimate child. So she came to the child's biological father to discuss how to resolve the situation.
Grandpa Jiang cursed it as absurd, but the Jiang mother and son took this obvious lie as the truth. They were so happy to have another grandson without having to put in any effort that they were saying all sorts of things.
Aunt Jiang knew, however, that the woman was after Mrs. Jiang's position.
However, this woman was very clever and adopted a strategy of retreating to advance.
Thinking of this, Aunt Jiang's eyes became a little sore.
Just because this woman said she had no intention of marrying Jiang San and only wanted to give birth to the child, the mother and son actually decided to let this woman live in their home and let her take good care of her so that she could give birth to the child.
They claim that the child will call her "Mom" when he/she is born, and that taking care of the child now is accumulating good karma for the future.
Dog poop is a good deed.
She already has two children, a son and a daughter. Does she need her children to call her "Mom"?
Even if she wanted another child to call her "Mom," couldn't she just give birth herself?
How despicable must she be to serve other women and raise their children just so that those children will call her "Mom"?
The five members of the Jiang family listened in complete silence.
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "They've already moved into your house, do you think a warning to Uncle San will make him listen? Is he the kind of person who listens to advice?"
"Haven't you thought of a more thorough solution?"
Aunt Jiang was taken aback: "What thorough solution?"
