Chapter 645: It's time to put marriage on the agenda
Jiang Yu sarcastically said, "Illiterate, the man decides whether to have a boy or a girl. If you have a girl, it's useless, and you are also useless."
Her sharp eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept across his crotch, revealing contempt.
Lai Zhijie's lower abdomen tightened, and he was angry and embarrassed: "Women give birth to children, what does it have to do with us!"
Jiang Yu snorted, "You also know that women give birth to children. You didn't contribute at all, so what qualifications do you have to make comments? If you like your son so much, find a man to marry, and then find another man to be your son. The whole family will be full of grandchildren, wouldn't it be more perfect?"
Lai Zhijie's face flushed, "I'm not as good at talking as you, I won't say these nonsense to you!"
He looked at Wang Yunshan, restraining his anger: "Sister, wait until Pan Di and I remarry, I will come to you again."
Wang Yunshan: "Get lost!"
She looked at Jiang Yu, her face full of disdain.
"If Wang Pan Di really remarries him, she would be crazy, she is not that stupid!"
Jiang Yu pursed her lips, Wang Pan Di is not necessarily smart.
She put Niuniu in Wang Yunshan's arms, "I have to go back. I'll come to see you another day."
Wang Yunshan asked her to wait and took out a bag of cotton from the house.
"Last winter's harvest was good. This is what's left. My family got a lot."
With this collective sideline in the village, Lin's father and mother didn't want to leave Yunjiao Village. They wanted to work in the fields all day long.
Now it's not like before, when there was not much money distributed all year round.
Last year, when cotton was sold, the money distributed to each household was enough for everyone to have a prosperous year.
"So much, don't you keep some for your family?"
Wang Yunshan shook her head, "This winter, Ningning will be one year old, and she will definitely have to make a new shirt and other things. You can take it all."
Jiang Yu was no longer polite to her, thinking that he would bring her some beef jerky next time he came.
…
February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Because of a late spring cold snap, the temperature dropped sharply and the old man fell ill.
Jiang Yu took a day off and went to visit with Ning Ning, He Tingyue and others. As the saying goes, enemies
meet on a narrow road, and they happened to see Wei Xiuru's family there.
As soon as Wei Xiuru saw them, she started to be sarcastic: "Look, this is different. They haven't come to visit for many years."
Jiang Yu smiled coldly, "They didn't come to visit before because you were an eyesore. It's different now. You all moved out, and the old man's surroundings are much cleaner."
She handed the child to He Tingyue to hold, and walked slowly to Wei Xiuru.
The soles of her leather shoes collided with the floor, and every hit seemed to step on Wei Xiuru's heart.
"You don't know yet, Grandpa plans to leave this house to us. You are the ones who should get out of here."
Wei Xiuru was shocked and looked at He Jingyi suddenly.
"Did Grandpa mention this to you?"
He Jingyi's face darkened, and his expression said it all.
Wei Xiuru was angry and anxious, and she slapped He Jingyi hard like a jumping rooster.
"Why are you so useless! It's a pity that you are the eldest son!"
Jiang Yu looked at them angrily and hummed a little tune as he went into the Grandpa's room.
The Grandpa was leaning against the head of the bed, taking medicine.
The wrinkles on his walnut-like face seemed to be deeper.
He didn't have completely white hair before, but now, there is not a single black hair.
"What are you doing here? Ningning is still so young, what if she gets frozen?"
Jiang Yu laughed, "We wrapped her up very thickly, she won't get frozen." They
came by car again, so they were basically not frozen.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
The old man sighed, "I'm old and useless, I fall down when the weather changes."
He had many old injuries on his body, and he felt unbearable pain when the weather changed.
He was clearly aware that his body functions were declining in all aspects.
He was old, and he couldn't help but admit defeat.
"Grandpa, pay attention to adding or removing clothes when the weather changes in the future, so that you won't get sick."
Jiang Yu sat down beside the bed holding Ningning who was sleeping soundly.
The old man subconsciously reached out to hold her, but thought that he was still sick, so he withdrew his hand.
"Let's wait until I'm well again. Children have weak resistance and are easily infected."
Jiang Yu's family stayed with him for a long time. She didn't get up until the old man showed signs of fatigue.
"You take a rest first. We'll come over next time."
The old man nodded. "When I'm well again, I'll go see Ningning."
"Okay, Ningning will wait for Grandpa Zeng to come."
When she came out of the house, Wei Xiuru and He Jingyi hadn't left yet. Her complexion was visibly worse.
Wei Xiuru complained, "We came here early in the morning and waited for so long but the old man didn't see us. He said he was listless, but why did he become energetic when he saw Jiang Yu?"
He Jingyi was also helpless, but this was his own father. What could he do?
"Say less."
Wei Xiuru looked at the house and missed it very much.
The courtyard house that the old man allocated to them was not small, but it was shabby, like a slum.
There was not even a toilet in the huge yard, and they had to go to the public toilet.
Just this point made her feel unbearable. When she
heard that the old man was going to give the villa to Jiang Yu, she felt very upset.
"Let's go in and see the old man. If we continue to wait, we don't know when your son's marriage will be settled."
She urged Tan Lizhu several times, but she avoided her.
Wei Xiuru wanted to propose marriage directly to the Tan family, but she was afraid of making them unhappy.
She had to seek the help of the old man and wanted him to mention it to Commander Tan.
It would be better to get engaged first instead of getting married immediately.
At least settle on Tan Lizhu as the daughter-in-law. As
soon as they stood up, they were stopped by Lao Shi.
"Jingyi, the old man just went to bed, don't disturb him."
He Jingyi said anxiously: "Brother Shi, I have been waiting for so long, you should let me see my father, I have something to say to him."
"Why don't you wait a little longer and go back after dinner, anyway there is no rush."
Wei Xiuru raised her voice: "Why not rush? I came here because I am anxious! Even if the old man is partial, there must be a limit. Why can Jiang Yu go in, but we can't?"
She ignored the obstruction and insisted on going into the house.
While arguing, the old man's voice came from inside: "Let them in."
Wei Xiuru snorted proudly, pushed Lao Shi away, and walked in proudly.
As soon as she opened the door, she began to ask the old man about his health: "Grandpa, are you in good health? Jingyi and I were worried about you, afraid that something bad might happen to you."
The old man closed his eyes, "Don't worry, even if I die, I will leave a will."
Wei Xiuru's face froze, and she said in a daze: "You have even written a will? Are you really going to leave this house to Jiang Yu? Grandpa, our Jingyi is the eldest son!"
The old man coughed twice, not wanting to dwell on this issue.
"What are you doing here?"
He Jingyi did not forget his business and said quickly, "I came here for Dongqi's matter. Dongqi and Lizhu have been together for so long, and it's time to put the marriage on the agenda."
The old man hummed, "What do the two young people say? If they decide to get married, we, as elders, will naturally come forward to take care of it."
"Uh..."
Wei Xiuru hurriedly pulled He Jingyi's arm and took the initiative to speak, "They naturally decided. It's because the young people have this idea that I want to ask you to go to the family to propose marriage."
He Jingyi frowned, but did not deny her words.
The old man sighed, "Wait a few days when the weather is warmer, I will talk to you."
