Chapter 110: If Lu Yanchuan doesn’t even like her, how could she like anyone else?
Because my third brother and his wife were coming back, the meal this morning was extra rich. There was not only sweet potato porridge but also meat buns, which Jiang Xibei had specially bought from the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. He also paid back what he owed Liu Honggen.
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Qibei to come back. If Xu Hongping hadn't stopped him, Jiang Xicheng would have had a couple of drinks with him. In the end, they replaced the wine with porridge, and the two brothers had a great chat.
After dinner, the two men sat by the fire, Li Shaohua helped clean up the dishes and followed Xu Hongping into the kitchen.
The water in the pot was hot. Xu Hongping was washing the dishes with a loofah. "How are you preparing the betrothal gifts?"
Li Shaohua squatted beside him and started a fire, preparing to boil a pot of water. "It's ready a long time ago. I asked my mother-in-law before I came back. You've watched Weiwei grow up, so you know her inside and out. Xicheng and I will treat her like our own daughter when she marries us. We'll give her a generous betrothal gift, and we have to show Old Master Li our sincerity."
Xu Hongping didn't expect that she would take this matter so seriously that even her family was alarmed.
"That's good." She wiped her hands on a rag, took out a paper bag from her pocket, and stuffed it into Li Shaohua's pocket. "This is a little gift from your elder brother and me. Huaichuan was raised by us, like our own son. His marriage is such a happy event, and we also want to share in the joy."
Li Shaohua was dumbfounded and quickly pushed back, "No, sister-in-law! You helped me raise him, and I haven't even had time to thank you yet, how can I let you pay for this!"
"Sister, I'm telling you something from the bottom of my heart. I know it wasn't that you couldn't take care of three children back then. You sent the children back to us to put my mind at ease! I'll remember your kindness from the bottom of my heart!"
When talking about her deceased child, Xu Hongping's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Perhaps many people would think that Jiang Dongfang and his wife have been raising the son of the third brother's family for these years, but then again, which biological father would be willing to give his child to someone else to raise?
At that time, her poor child had passed away not long ago. She cried all day long, her health was getting worse day by day, and she had no appetite. Jiang Dongfang really had no choice, and he felt sad too, but he was the eldest son and the pillar of the family. He could not fall down, so he wrote a letter to his third brother who was in the army.
At that time, Jiang Huaichuan had already been born. When he was just half a year old, he was sent back to his hometown by his parents.
Originally, he could have grown up in a family compound and joined the army to serve his country like his two older brothers.
But his father "abandoned" him for the sake of his family. Jiang Huaichuan had some complaints about this, so when he was a child, he was not close to Jiang Xicheng and his wife.
It was not until I grew up and became sensible that I began to sympathize with the suffering of my uncles and uncles.
In addition, Jiang Dongfang and his wife really loved him. In particular, in order to find him a good job, Jiang Dongfang was busy for more than half a month and was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
Later, I had to persuade him with all my might, spend a lot of money and effort to get Jiang Huaichuan into the textile factory.
This is also the reason why Jiang Huaichuan did not dare to resign easily even though he clearly did not want to be an accountant. First, this job was not easy to come by, and he could not let his uncle down.
As she spoke, Li Shaohua couldn't help crying. She was heartbroken when she thought of the complaining look her youngest son always gave her in the past few years.
