Jiang Rui frowned: "What am I guessing? If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, forget it. Who did you learn this bad habit from? You always ask me to guess!"
Jiang Xi was scolded. He stood there with his mouth open for a moment before he said, "Second brother, I noticed that you have a bad temper recently. Who has offended you?"
"If you live this kind of frustrating life every day, how can you be in a good mood?" Jiang Rui rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, second brother. Can I not ask anymore? I won't ask anymore! I'll tell you directly, I went to see my sister-in-law because I have something to ask her!" Jiang Xi said.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Rui asked, staring into his eyes.
Although he didn't know what Jiang Xi was going to do, his intuition told him that Jiang Xi might be asking for the same thing as he wanted.
Before Jiang Xi could answer, the door opened.
Jiang Xun stood at the door, looked at his two younger brothers, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you two arguing about at the door? Aren't you going to come in?"
Jiang Xi pointed at Jiang Rui and said, "Brother, my second brother said he was looking for you. I came to look for my sister-in-law, but I haven't even knocked on the door yet..."
...
...
"Come in first. Find a place to sit!" Jiang Xun opened the door and let his two younger brothers in.
Ye Li was sorting out the things that Aunt Xue sent. After Jiang Rui and Jiang Xi came in, their eyes both fell on those things at the same time.
Jiang Xi swallowed and said, "Sister-in-law, did that girl and her mother bring all this?"
Hearing the movement behind her, Ye Li turned around and saw Jiang Xi's eyes almost popped out. She couldn't help laughing: "Yeah! What? Are you jealous?"
Jiang Xi chuckled twice: "My eyes aren't greedy, but my mouth is."
"Don't worry, we definitely can't finish all of this. During the Chinese New Year, we will bring all of this to mom and we will eat it together as a family!"
"Oh!" Jiang Xi clapped his hands happily, "Sister-in-law, my dear sister-in-law! If we talk about generosity, it has to be you! No one else can do such a heroic thing!"
Jiang Xun squinted his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Xi: "Don't try to fool your sister-in-law! If you really think your sister-in-law is good, help her more in the future! Instead of thinking about the food in your sister-in-law's hand every day!"
Jiang Xi immediately put away his playful smile and replied honestly: "I understand, big brother."
Seeing Jiang Xi's fear in front of Jiang Xun, Ye Li smiled and said, "Just now in the room, I heard you say you wanted to talk to me about something. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Xi was too embarrassed to express his thoughts directly, so he deliberately took a roundabout way to ask.
Although this detour was not very convenient, Ye Li could guess his intention instantly.
"Sister-in-law, what is your relationship with the mother and daughter who just came? Why did they bring so many things to you?"
Ye Li raised the corner of his mouth: "Jiang Xi, then tell me, is the focus of your sentence about people? Or are you asking about things?"
"Of course I'm asking for something..."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah..." Jiang Xi felt very embarrassed by Ye Li's gaze. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Actually, if you want to tell me about someone, it's not impossible."
Ye Li was not surprised to hear him say this.
Life was hard these days, and every household couldn't afford to eat anything good. When they saw something good, they really wanted to have a bite. However, most people had their own dignity and face.
Jiang Xi is naturally no exception.
In the past, she always brought good things home, but Jiang Xi never came to ask anything.
Fang Ning came today, and Jiang Xi came over to ask all kinds of questions. It was obvious that he didn't come for the things, but for the people.
"Aunt Xue's daughter is called Fang Ning. You heard it in the yard. This time, Aunt Xue came here to ask me to find a partner for Fang Ning..."
Before Ye Li finished speaking, Jiang Xi interrupted: "Partner? She's not married yet? What about the conditions? Sister-in-law, have you asked what the conditions are?"
"Look how anxious you are." Ye Li smiled and continued, "Fang Ning is actually a divorced person. It has been two years since the divorce, and she has never remarried. She is only 22 years old. Aunt Xue saw that her daughter was having a hard time living alone, so she wanted to persuade her to find another man."
Jiang Rui listened silently.
Jiang Xi continued to ask: "Fang Ning is divorced? Such a beautiful girl is divorced... Sister-in-law, why did she get divorced? Do you know the reason?"
"Her husband is a good-for-nothing. He fools around outside and beats her when he's drunk at home. They couldn't live like this anymore, so they got divorced! Fang Ning has a soft temper and seems to be a nice person. Aunt Xue wants her to find another one. She doesn't have any particularly high requirements. She just wants her to find a man who treats her well." Ye Li told Jiang Xi all the information he knew.
Jiang Xi was silent for a while after hearing this, and suddenly raised his head and asked Ye Li: "Sister-in-law, do you think I can do it?"
Ye Li knew this was what he meant.
She didn't say yes, nor did she say no: "I can introduce you to someone and see if I can help."
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
"We are all family, why are you being polite to me? However, since Aunt Xue asked me to introduce a partner to her, I have to be responsible for Fang Ning. If you really like Fang Ning, you have to be nice to her! After all, she doesn't want anything but a man who treats her well." Ye Li added a few more words.
"Don't worry." Jiang Xun interrupted, "This guy has been treating his wife well for a long time! He treats a woman like Hu Jingjing as a treasure, let alone Fang Ning."
Jiang Xi felt embarrassed: "Brother... wasn't I ignorant before..."
"That's good to know."
"But Aunt Xue is really willing to spend money to introduce a date to her daughter. She bought so many things..." Jiang Rui, who had been silent all this time, interrupted.
Ye Li glanced at him and said, "Aunt Xue really loves her daughter."
Jiang Rui: “…”
Jiang Xi asked so many questions, and she answered them one by one. But when he asked a question himself, she answered something irrelevant.
Jiang Rui was very dissatisfied with this.
However, he did not show it on his face, instead he acted indifferent.
Jiang Xi also had the same question: "Yes, sister-in-law, this gift is too expensive, right? What does their family do? They seem to be quite rich!"
Ye Li said: "The girl has a good job, working in a meat processing factory. Aunt Xue is retired, but she was a ticket seller before she retired. Both of them have good jobs. So, the family is not short of money."
"Meat processing factory?" Jiang Rui said, stroking his chin. "I heard that the wages in the meat processing factory are twice that of ordinary workers. Is this true or false?"
"Really." Jiang Xun had heard about this matter. "Workers in the meat processing factory are paid three times a month. The first payment is salary, the middle of the month is bonus, and the end of the month is commission."
