Chapter 182 I didn’t ask you to pay a penny, why are you shouting here?
When discussing the betrothal gift at their home, Xue Shuzhen tried her best to bargain.
Now, he just gave the money to the eldest son's wife without feeling any regret. How could a person be so biased?
Fortunately, Jiang Jinzhou agreed to buy a house in Lin County, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to live together.
Soon, the food was served.
Zhou Yun and Jiang Yizhou kept feeding themselves, but Xue Shuzhen kept picking up food for Jiang Lei.
Even if Jiang Lei didn't want to eat, Xue Shuzhen would still feed him the food.
She still needs to feed a child this old? How much doting does she have to do?
This is the apple of my eye.
If her daughter Xiulan gives birth to a child in the future, will she be willing to give up her beloved daughter and take care of Xiulan's child?
well……
After the meal, Liu Guizhi felt nauseous and looked at Liang Xiulan and Jiang Jinzhou several times.
Jiang Jinzhou's love and care for her daughter made her feel a little better.
They live together as a couple, so as long as they are happy, at worst she can take care of their children.
The meal was almost over, so everyone sat together and chatted for a while.
Liu Guizhi couldn't help but tease: "This eldest grandson is a precious gem. Look how much your grandmother dotes on him. She just needs to chew and feed him."
Xue Shuzhen didn't notice the sarcasm in Liu Guizhi's words. She rubbed Jiang Lei's head and laughed.
"My eldest grandson is so well behaved. He will be my backbone in the future. He is the one who holds the sail for me, so he must not be spoiled."
When Liu Guizhi heard this, the smile on her face became more and more forced.
"That's right, the eldest grandson is the apple of my grandmother's eye. These grandsons and granddaughters are not even as good as him."
Liu Guizhi reached out and touched Jiang Danyue's son's face.
Unfortunately, Jiang Danyue didn't understand what she meant, and no one responded to her.
But when these words fell into Xue Shuzhen's heart, they stung deeply.
My own daughter sat with someone else's mother and they interacted closely.
Even from the time she came until now, Jiang Danyue hadn't said a single word to her, and she felt so upset.
After hearing those sour words Liu Guizhi said, she realized that she might have said something wrong.
When she came out, she had promised her son to talk less, so she quickly shut up.
Zhou Yun felt that the atmosphere was not right and hurried to help Xue Shuzhen make amends.
"What are you talking about, Aunt? My mother loves my grandson and my granddaughter equally. When Jinzhou has a child in the future, my mother will hold him in her heart as well."
"My mother just likes children..."
It’s the eldest daughter-in-law who always helps her out in time.
In order to show her sincerity, Xue Shuzhen also continued with what Zhou Yun said.
"Yes, yes, yes. When Jinzhou has a child in the future, they won't have to worry about it anymore. Just leave it to me!"
Liu Guizhi quickly curled her lips, then quickly put on a fake smile.
"You're already tired of taking care of a whole family, how can I add to your burden?"
"You should focus on your eldest grandson, and leave their affairs to me.
When they buy a house in Lin County, I will go there to take care of their children."
The implication is: Live a good life with your eldest daughter-in-law! Stay away from the second daughter-in-law!
Xue Shuzhen: Buy a house? Go to Lin County?
The expressions of everyone in the Jiang family froze, except for Jiang Danyue, her mother and daughter.
"We already have a house at home, why do we need to go to Lin County to buy one?" Xue Shuzhen asked.
Liu Guizhi was about to speak when Liang Xiulan immediately winked at her.
She's been speaking in a sarcastic tone lately, so stop provoking conflict.
Jiang Jinzhou should explain his family affairs himself.
He pushed Jiang Jinzhou and said, "Speak!"
Jiang Jinzhou put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Huai.
"I'm going to work in Lin County in the future, so I have to buy a house in Lin County. What's the problem?"
The Jiang family members looked at each other, as if there was really no problem. Even if there was a problem, they would not dare to announce it on the spot.
So, Jiang Jinzhou really doesn't plan to go home? Is this a split up?
Jiang Huai, Xue Shuzhen, and Jiang Yizhou were all upset because of Jiang Jinzhou's decision to leave home.
Only Zhou Yun was wondering in his mind, who would pay for the house?
If the old couple dared to give Jiang Jinzhou money to buy a house, then she would buy it too!
Seeing Xue Shuzhen's distraught look, Liu Guizhi felt inexplicably refreshed.
Now that her own son is gone, she won’t be able to see his future children. This old man must be mad at her. She should just be close to her eldest grandson.
It’s best to sail next year!
In the second half, Xue Shuzhen really kept her mouth shut.
She had a lot to say and a lot of grievances to vent, but she didn't dare to do so in front of so many people. She was afraid that Jiang Jinzhou would turn against her and she would lose face.
After dinner, she wanted to get close to her daughter, but Jiang Danyue kept hiding behind Liu Guizhi, avoiding her.
She wasn't even allowed to touch the children.
A feeling of grievance surged in Xue Shuzhen's heart. With red eyes, she got on the tractor with her head down. She didn't want to pay attention to anyone and wanted to cry.
When they got home, the family sat in the living room in a depressing atmosphere.
Jiang Jinzhou was about to leave, but Jiang Huai stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
"Sit down, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Jinzhou sat down obediently and waited for the interrogation.
"How much did you give Xiulan for the engagement?"
"Eight hundred."
"What? Eight hundred?" Xue Shuzhen almost jumped up from the sofa.
"What kind of a jewel is she? You're giving her eight hundred? She's just a country girl who works as a farmer. Your sister-in-law only gave her sixty-six! You're giving her eight hundred?"
"Are you stupid?"
Jiang Jinzhou raised his eyes and looked at her, waiting for her to finish speaking before speaking calmly.
"How much did my father give you when you got married?"
Xue Shuzhen didn't understand why he asked that and she was shaking her arms in frustration.
"Your dad doesn't give a shit! He didn't give a shit! We're talking about your marriage, why are you bringing up your dad?"
"You didn't give it when you got married, but my brother gave it sixty-six when he got married. Why should we give sixty-six? Wouldn't it be over if we didn't give it?"
"What do you mean? What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, times have changed, prices have gone up, so why should we be surprised if the bride price goes up? It's been eight or nine years since my brother got married."
"It's fine to raise it a bit. If you raise it to three hundred, or even four hundred, I won't say anything. But you suddenly give it eight hundred. Ask around in our village, are there any idiots like that?"
"The money is earned by me, and my wife is mine too. I can give her as much as I want. Why should I ask others for help?
When I get married in the future, let alone eight hundred, even if it's one or ten thousand, all the money I earn will be handed over to her. I didn't ask you to pay a penny, so why are you yelling here?"
Jiang Jinzhou stood up suddenly with an unhappy look on his face.
Xue Shuzhen was speechless.
His money will be managed by his wife in the future, and it will have nothing to do with her as a mother.
Jiang Huai was silent for a long time, then asked, "Then what about buying a house in Lin County?"
"How can you make a decision on your own about something as big as buying a house?"
Jiang Jinzhou said, "Our house isn't very big to begin with. Even if we get married and have kids, there won't be enough space for us to live in."
"I promised Xiulan that I would buy a house in Lin County before getting married."
Upon hearing this, Xue Shuzhen protested again.
"What do you mean by buying a house before getting married? Can buying a house be done in a day or two just by talking?"
"It's not like we don't have a place to live at home. Can't we live in your own house? Why do you have to buy a house in Lin County?"
Jiang Jinzhou frowned and stared at her: "I work in Lin County! I don't live in Lin County, do I have to run back and forth every day?"
"So where do you live now?"
"I'm renting someone else's house!"
"Then why don't you just live in someone else's house? Xiulan lives at home, so why would she need to buy another house?"
This is really a good way to save money.
Jiang Jinzhou shouted, "You mean we're going to live apart right after we get married? It's the same as not getting married at all. Why would I marry a wife? To show her off at home?"
