Chapter 106: The Abacus is Really Good
Jiang Hao said sarcastically, "Hey, my uncle really thinks highly of our family. He couldn't break up those two back then, so why does he think we can break up those two now?
He even spent money and gifts to arrange for both of them to come to the countryside. If he really wanted to separate them, he shouldn't have arranged them in the same place. He lets the good guys do the bad guys, but he wants our family to do the bad guys. What a good plan."
Jiang Jianguo is now quite annoyed with his elder brother Jiang Jianshe. He doesn't know if it's because of his age or because he didn't marry a good wife. He is becoming more and more confused. But he can't say bad things about Xiaowu when he is with him. After all, Jiang Jianshe is Xiaowu's elder.
"Don't say that about your uncle, it's not easy for him either. If Jiang Yinyin hadn't been so desperate, he wouldn't have been able to arrange for both of them to live here. After all, children are a debt."
Jiang Hao didn't want Jiang Jianguo to get involved in this matter at all. "Anyway, just stay out of this matter, don't get yourself into trouble later."
Jiang Jianguo glanced at Jiang Hao and said helplessly, "I would like to intervene, but unfortunately, it is not my responsibility at all. Jiang Yinyin and Chu Xiong have recently broken up."
Shi Luo saw that Jiang Hao had gone out and had not returned yet, so he thought of going out to check on him. Then he heard Jiang Jianguo say, "What's going on? How can they break up? Aren't they in love? Godfather, please wait a while. Let me go back and get some food before you talk."
Jiang Jianguo looked at the impulsive Shi Luo and asked Jiang Hao in confusion, "You guys are so well-informed, how come you didn't know about this? Aren't you on good terms with Xie Chen and the others? Didn't they tell you?"
Jiang Hao: "No, we haven't been together much recently. We're not in the same team during work, and we're all very tired after work, so we don't have time to get together. I did work with Xu Qianjin for a few days recently, but we were fertilizing the fields all the time. The smell was so bad that we didn't even want to breathe, let alone chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Luo brought out a small plate of sunflower seeds, peanuts, glutinous rice noodles, and twisted dough sticks. He held the plate and sat on the threshold next to Jiang Hao. "Godfather, I'm ready. Tell me what you want."
Jiang Jianguo looked at his two misbehaving sons with great disgust, but he still reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracking them while telling them bit by bit about what had happened at the educated youth site recently.
"This happened just half a month ago. Jiang Yinyin and Chu Xiong had always been getting along well, but as the saying goes, poverty brings many sorrows to a couple. Now that they have no money, all kinds of small conflicts arise.
When they first came to the countryside, they had enough money, but as they bought things here and there, they had little money left.
Chuxiong's family never sent money or supplies to Chuxiong. Your uncle sent things and money to Jiang Yinyin on a monthly basis, but it was only eight dollars a month. How could it be enough for two people to spend?
These two are still greedy and always want to buy delicious food, so the money is not enough."
Shi Luo nodded and agreed, "That's right. Last time when I was exchanging pickled duck eggs with Aunt Guihua, I heard Aunt Guihua say that Jiang Yinyin and the others had exchanged a chicken with her."
Jiang Jianguo knew about this. The two of them exchanged duck eggs and specially gave five to himself and his wife. They were quite delicious, and each one was pickled until it was juicy. Later, his wife exchanged a lot of duck eggs and pickled a lot for herself.
Recalling the taste of duck eggs, Jiang Jianguo continued, "Half a month ago, a female educated youth who came with Jiang Yinyin, Qian Luo, bought a light red Dacron shirt and showed it off every day in the educated youth compound.
Jiang Yinyin couldn't stand it anymore, so she made a few sarcastic remarks and finally told Qian Luo that she also wanted to buy one in the next few days.
But Jiang Yinyin had spent all her money on food, so she had no choice but to ask Chu Xiong for more. Chu Xiong usually spent Jiang Yinyin's money, so where did he get the money from? He said Jiang Yinyin was vain or something.
Anyway, in the end, the shirt was not bought. Later, Qian Luo mocked Jiang Yinyin for being a boaster and a show-off. After that, your uncle sent money to Jiang Yinyin, and the first thing she did was to buy the shirt.
Jiang Yinyin spent the money on buying clothes, and that month she had no money to buy food or meat.
Chuxiong felt that his food was not good enough during that period, so he was unhappy. He said that Jiang Yinyin was not virtuous and could not manage the household well.
Jiang Yinyin felt that she could do whatever she wanted with her money, and Chu Xiong had no right to interfere. Besides, Chu Xiong usually spent her money, so he was just a gigolo. How could he have the nerve to say that about her?
Just like that, the conflicts between the two of them increased. I heard that they had a fight yesterday and then ate separately. Today, when it was raining, they had another fight at the educated youth camp. I was the one who mediated it at that time.
Jiang Yinyin asked Chu Xiong to return all the money he had spent on her. Chu Xiong didn't have the money to pay her back. He even said that Jiang Yinyin volunteered to spend money on him, so he didn't need to pay her back.
Jiang Yinyin was so angry when she heard this, but Chu Xiong was like a piece of meat on a rolling knife. Jiang Yinyin didn't have an IOU or anything, so she had no choice but to break up.
Anyway, when I came back, both of them told others that they had broken up, but whether it was a complete breakup or not, I don’t know.”
Jiang Hao nodded thoughtfully. "So, it was because my uncle and the others gave Jiang Yinyin too much money when she was at home. Otherwise, Chu Xiong would have broken up with Jiang Yinyin long ago since he couldn't take advantage of her."
Shi Luo thought more, "Did Chu Xiong instigate Jiang Yinyin's going to the countryside? Did he want Jiang Yinyin to give up her job to him, and then let Uncle Jiang find a job for her?
Chu Xiong never expected that Jiang Yinyin would be so foolish as to give up her temporary job that was about to be converted to a regular job for him and insist on going to the countryside with him.
Jiang Jianguo looked at Shi Luo and didn't expect that this boy was quite smart. "Yes, it was Chu Xiong who instigated Jiang Yinyin to go to the countryside. So your uncle would rather send both of them to the countryside than let Chu Xiong take advantage of this.
As for the temporary job, your uncle asked your second cousin's wife to take it. It just so happened that your second cousin's wife made a fuss when we were looking for a job for Jiang Yinyin, so now it's her wish."
Jiang Hao's mouth curled up slightly. "Dad, you know this very clearly. It certainly can't be my uncle who told you."
Jiang Jianguo stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants, walking into the house while saying, "Your grandma wrote to your mother about it. Your uncle will never tell me about his family's troubles. Come on, it's getting late, and we have to go to work tomorrow. You two should go and rest."
Jiang Hao and Shi Luo watched the old man's back as he returned to the house, looked at each other silently, and went back to their rooms one after another.
