Chapter 91: Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge
Jiang Hao scratched Shi Luo's nose helplessly and said, "You are really nosy."
Shi Luo blinked innocently, "What's wrong with gossip? Life is so boring, we always have to find something interesting to satisfy ourselves. Hurry up and tell us. After you finish, you can go get your things."
Jiang Hao had no choice but to continue, "My grandmother told me that my uncle helped my aunt when he was on a mission in Beijing, and then my aunt fell in love with my uncle at first sight.
After helping the man, my uncle left quickly. After all, he still had a mission to complete, so the two of them didn't leave any contact information.
Originally, the matter was over, but who knew that when my uncle went to Beijing for a mission, the two of them met again by chance.
At that time, my uncle had already completed the task, so there was no need to rush. In addition, my aunt insisted on asking him for his address so that she could write him a thank-you letter, so he left her his address.
After that, my aunt would often write to him, and my uncle would reply. As a result, the two of them became close. Later, when my uncle was on vacation, he went home and told my grandparents about him and my aunt.
My grandparents never cared about my father and my uncle's marriage. They thought it was fine as long as my father or my uncle liked the one they wanted. So my uncle just reported to the army and got married.
After the two got married, my uncle took my aunt back to our city to live for three or five days. When their vacation was over, my uncle returned to the army and my aunt also returned to Beijing to work. But after that, my aunt rarely came here.
My uncle came back a few times during his vacation, but the last time my aunt came was probably when my grandfather was rehired by the Beijing City, and my aunt came back with my uncle to help my grandfather move."
Shi Luo was a little puzzled. "If they have so little contact, then your aunt's relationship with your grandparents must be very ordinary. Why would she think that everything your grandfather has should be given to her?"
Jiang Hao knew why. "My grandma told me that my aunt probably thought that my uncle was the eldest son. She probably thought that my grandparents would rely on him for their old age."
Shi Luo nodded. "Then it's understandable that she thinks so. After all, nowadays people really emphasize that the eldest son should take care of the elderly in their old age. Even your father said so when your family split up."
When Jiang Hao heard Shi Luo's words, he swallowed back the second half of his grandmother's words that had not yet been spoken.
In fact, what Grandma Jiang said later was, "Your aunt is just daydreaming. Your uncle is not the only son I have. Moreover, your mother Liu Cuihua and your father Jiang Jianguo have been taking care of us all these years. Why does Bai Qing think that I will have to rely on her and Jiang Jianshe in the future?"
You know, even if your grandfather and I don't rely on anyone, we can still live better than anyone else with our family background. Besides, the policy changes every day, who knows if we will be able to hire a nanny again in the future.
She keeps reminding me every day that I should give her more and please her. She's just being shameless. Luckily, your uncle doesn't think that way, otherwise, hmph."
If Shi Luo knew the second half of Grandma Jiang's sentence, he would definitely think that Grandma Jiang was a wise old woman.
Jiang Hao saw that he had almost finished talking, so he continued, "Then I'm going home to get something. You stay in the room and I'll be back soon."
Shi Luo glared at Jiang Hao and waved his hand, "I'm not a child anymore, go ahead."
Jiang Hao pinched Shi Luo's face, looking sad. "You little heartless boy, you acted so reluctant to leave me when I wanted to listen to a story just now. Now you're sending me away after you finish the story. You're really like a traitor."
Shi Luo was helpless. "Stop making trouble and go quickly. Your family will be waiting anxiously."
"Okay, I'm leaving." Jiang Hao saw that it was indeed getting late, so he didn't continue to tease Shi Luo. He stood up and left.
When Jiang Hao got home, he saw Li Qian and Zhao Xiuxiu washing clothes in the yard.
Jiang Hao said hello and went straight to Liu Cuihua's house.
Li Qian curled her lips after seeing Jiang Hao enter the house. "He must have come back to get something. The old man must have sent him a lot of things."
Zhao Xiuxiu frowned as she thought about the small package her mother-in-law had given her when she took something out.
"That's right. When I went to get something just now, I saw the big package on grandma's kang. The big one is more than three times bigger than mine. It was definitely for the fifth child. I don't know what's inside. Grandma put the package away a long time ago, so I don't know what's inside."
At this point, Zhao Xiuxiu looked up at Li Qian and asked in a low voice, "By the way, sister-in-law, what did the old man send to your family? I see that except for the largest one on the kang, the ones in our four families are all about the same size."
Li Qian also remembered the big package on the kang and was really jealous. "What else could it be? A packet of milk powder and a packet of White Rabbit candy. That's all. What do you have at home?"
Zhao Xiuxiu's lips curled up slightly. "My family has one more bag of malted milk than you. The old man must have sent one more bag because he saw that I have two children."
Li Qian rubbed the clothes with much more strength, as if she mistook the clothes for Jiang Hao. "The whole family is biased. You can imagine the elders in the family are biased too. Why do they favor the fifth child who is good at nothing and never gets enough to eat? They are really blind."
Zhao Xiuxiu was also very annoyed and said cunningly, "I thought that the old couple would not be so kind to Lao Wu after they left with the uncle's family.
After all, we are so far apart that the everlasting affection has faded. Who knows? I can see that this partiality is not less than that. I guess he treats the fifth child better than the other children of his uncle's family."
Li Qian nodded in agreement. Seeing that no one in the room had come out yet, she whispered, "I accidentally heard my mother-in-law say that the old man gave the house in the city to the fifth son. The title deed was transferred to him before going to Beijing."
"What"
Zhao Xiuxiu didn't bother to whisper, this is a house in the city,
"Why haven't I heard of this? When did you know about it? Why didn't you tell me at the time? Is this true or false?"
