Chapter 48
Zhu Zhi didn't care. As long as she had the reunion dinner with Jiang Yu and the others, she felt good. As for other things, the children had their own lives.
In the afternoon, Zhu Zhi and his wife also helped them decorate the house. There were not enough decorations, so Jiang Zhe drove with Jiang Yu to buy some in the evening. On New Year's Eve, the house was completely decorated, and everywhere was red, bringing the festive atmosphere of the New Year. It was full of the flavor of the New Year.
For Jiang Zhe, this kind of liveliness was unprecedented in previous years.
He brought his grandmother and his mother over early. His grandmother was wearing a red cotton coat and black pants. She was dressed very festively and even put on some lipstick.
As soon as she saw the little baby, the grandmother immediately stuffed the red envelope into her arms: "Come here, baby, this is for you."
When Zhu Zhi saw Jiang Zhe's grandmother giving out red envelopes so early, she immediately said, "It's too early to give out red envelopes now."
Zhu Zhi said, "It's not too early. I'll give you another one in the evening."
Zhu Zhi looked at her daughter with amusement and said, "Look at Luo Luo's wife, she dotes on the child so much."
Grandma said, "What's wrong with giving one more? I don't have many years left to give."
Grandma's words made everyone silent.
Jiang Yu immediately said, "Grandma, you will live to be a hundred years old. May you live a long life."
Grandma was so happy that she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you and Xiaozhe are good, I will live a long life."
"Yes."
Jiang Zhe was mainly busy in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Jiang Yu's parents and Jiang Zhe's mother also helped. Grandma wanted to help, but they chased her out. Jiang Yu pulled her grandmother over to the side of the stroller and said to her, "Grandma, my mom and the others are busy in the kitchen. You can play with Luo Luo."
Grandma nodded: "Okay."
Then he said with emotion: "I haven't had such a lively New Year for a long time. Every New Year, Xiaozhe would come to our place after eating New Year's Eve dinner. This is the first time his mother has spent the New Year with us since she got married."
Jiang Yu looked at her grandmother's expression and suddenly felt sad. She also understood that it was not because her grandmother and her family did not want their children to spend the New Year with them, but because the Jiang family, Jiang Zhe's father's ideas were too conservative.
Jiang Yu smiled and said to her grandmother: "We can have New Year's Eve dinner together every year from now on."
"good."
The New Year’s Eve dinner that night was very sumptuous. This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was also the first time in many years that Shen Qiuli had such a relaxing New Year’s Eve dinner.
After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, grandma gave two red envelopes to the children, Jiang Yu and Jiang Zhe, and said to them, "Okay, we won't disturb you from having fun. Your mother and I will go back."
Zhu Zhi immediately said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back and sit down? There are a lot of activities downstairs tonight. Why don't we go join in the fun?"
Shen Qiuli didn't want to go back so early, so she took her grandmother's hand and said, "Yes, let's go downstairs and take a look."
Mother Jiang said to Jiang Yu and the others, "You guys can go and have fun, don't worry about us, we will send your grandmother and your mother-in-law back later."
After they came down, Jiang Yu took a look at their small home and suddenly sighed: "Jiang Zhe, do you think our home seems a little too small?"
There are no suitable rooms for the elders to stay overnight.
Jiang Zhe asked directly: "Do you prefer a villa or a large flat?"
Jiang Yu originally wanted to move to a house with more rooms, but she didn't expect this person to ask her that. Since he asked her that, she didn't hesitate to respond: "I haven't lived in a villa yet. Are you going to take me to live in one?"
"Okay, we'll go see it after the New Year."
Jiang Yu joked, "Will we spend all our savings just to buy a villa?"
"No, I have already reserved this amount of money."
Jiang Yu also had a sudden idea, but she didn't expect that Jiang Zhe had already thought about it. She asked curiously, "You don't want to help your sister and the others, because you have already decided to move to a new house?"
Jiang Zhe said: "That's part of the reason, but not all. After all, I want to give you and the children a better life. I'm not alone anymore, so there are many things that I can't just ignore."
Jiang Yu jumped into his arms, hugged his neck, and praised him excitedly: "Jiang Zhe, I feel that the longer I am with you, the better you are."
Jiang Zhe caught Jiang Yu who suddenly threw himself at him and said, "This is what I should do."
But Jiang Yu's praise of him and the joy she conveyed to Jiang Zhe still made him unconsciously feel happy. He already felt that he had not done enough. He felt that he clearly had not done much, but she was so excited.
"So are we still going out to play?"
"Do you want to go out?"
Jiang Yu shook her head: "No, let's just watch the Spring Festival Gala at home tonight. It won't be too late to go out and play tomorrow."
"good."
Jiang Zhe then sat next to her and watched the Spring Festival Gala with her.
The quality of the Spring Festival Gala has actually been getting lower and lower in recent years, but every Chinese New Year, many people still habitually turn on the Gala. In previous years, Jiang Zhe would watch it with his grandmother and parents, but this year his mother and others went downstairs to watch the excitement outside, while he stayed at home to watch it with Jiang Yu.
Later, Dad Jiang and his family took grandma and her family away, leaving them no room to develop their talents. Jiang Yu and her family were helpless, but also more determined to buy a bigger house during the Chinese New Year next year, so that everyone in the family could live here with them.
Little Jiang Luoluo went to bed very early that night. Even when firecrackers were going off outside, the sleeping piglet was not woken up. Her aunt went home for the New Year. During the New Year, her parents also had to visit relatives. They had to take care of the child by themselves most of the time. Jiang Yu gently pinched the child's face, and then asked Jiang Zhe: "Then we buy a new house, what about this house? Do we need to sell it?"
Jiang Zhe shook his head: "Keep it for Jiang Luoluo in the future."
"When Jiang Luoluo grows up, I'll buy her a new one, or I'll just sell it. This way, I won't be nervous."
Jiang Zhe felt that Jiang Yu really underestimated herself: "We don't need to sell the old ones if we want to buy new ones. If you like them, you can even buy two more sets."
Jiang Yu was surprised: "My husband is so rich?"
Jiang Zhe said: "Wait a minute."
After a while, he brought over a document bag containing a lot of cards, property certificates, and various share contracts.
Jiang Zhe took it out and placed it on the bed: "This is all my current assets. If you like it, I'll give it to you for safekeeping."
Jiang Yu: "Give it to me for safekeeping. Then give me the flowers?"
Jiang Zhe nodded.
“What if I run out of money?”
"Then I'll keep trying."
Jiang Yu smiled, but finally pushed it back and gave it all to him: "I don't want it. You can give me some pocket money whenever you want, but I won't take your money. There is a saying that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. I am not that responsible. I just eat and drink every day. Hehe."
Jiang Zhe packed them up and put them in the drawer, saying, "I'll put them here. If you need them, just take them."
"good."
Although it was not necessary, Jiang Yu was also very happy that she knew where it was. She thought about it and asked, "You have shown me your family assets, so should I show you mine as well?"
Jiang Zhe refused: "Keep your money. If you need money, just ask me. Don't be shy."
Jiang Yu curled her lips and said, "I'm not the kind of person who is embarrassed to speak up."
Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Here, husband, my New Year's red envelope."
Jiang Zhe took out a red envelope and put it in her hand. There was only a hundred yuan in it: "It's just a token of my appreciation."
After a while, she received the transfer.
Jiang Yu glanced at her phone and saw the transfer amount was: 13140000
She counted several times, then gave Jiang Zheshu a thumbs up: "Your intention is quite thoughtful."
Then he kissed Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe was surprised by her initiative and deepened the kiss.
Just when the two kisses were about to get more passionate, the child woke up. Hearing the little boy crying, Jiang Yu quickly pushed him away and tidied her clothes. Jiang Zhe was helpless. After shrugged, he picked up the little boy and coaxed him.
This Chinese New Year passed very quickly. Because there were many people outside, they didn't go out much. Jiang Zhe took care of the child most of the time. Jiang Yu just ate, drank and slept at home every day. After the Chinese New Year, when she stepped on the scale, she found that she had gained a lot of weight.
Jiang Yu immediately complained to Jiang Zhe: "I gained weight after the Chinese New Year. Every ounce of fat on my body is your fault."
Jiang Zhe was quite cooperative with her accusation and smiled, "Okay, it's all my fault. So what do you want to do?"
Jiang Yu said: "As punishment, you have to accompany me to buy clothes later."
After checking the time, Jiang Yu said, "My mom is dancing downstairs and should be back soon. We'll go out when they come back."
After waiting for an hour and a half, Jiang Yu still didn't see her mother and her family come back. There happened to be some trash to be thrown away at home, so Jiang Yu volunteered and said, "I'll go throw away the trash and see if my mother and her family are back."
Jiang Zhe said, "Okay."
When she got downstairs, Jiang Yu saw her father and mother, Jiang Zhe’s mother, and... Jiang Zhe’s father.
Jiang Yu did not expect that her serious and confident father-in-law would appear here.
They are talking.
Jiang Chen sneered and said, "Shen Qiuli, I really didn't expect that you would be with someone else after such a short time since we separated. I thought you were still angry with me."
Not only Jiang Yu, Zhu Zhi and the others were also confused: "Didn't you get the divorce certificate? Why are you still angry as if you were Jiang Zhe's mother?"
When Jiang Chen heard Zhu Zhi's words, his face immediately turned very ugly, and he scolded her, "This is our family affair, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Shen Qiuli didn't expect him to come to her again. She looked unhappy and said, "Jiang Chen, they are Xiaoyu's parents and my friends. Don't talk to them like that. Besides, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Shen Qiuli stopped falling in love after her divorce, but Zhu Zhi thought she was still a good person. In addition to taking care of the children, they would also dance square dance together downstairs in the evening, and they get along very well now.
Seeing Shen Qiuli defending them, Zhu Zhi immediately became proud and said, "What's the relationship? We are relatives and friends with Qiuli. In terms of relationship, we are closer than you. Who are you? You are Qiuli's ex-husband whom she doesn't want to see at all."
Shen Qiuli really didn't want to see Jiang Chen. Before he came, he called her several times. Shen Qiuli couldn't bear it anymore and blocked him, and then he came to her.
Jiang Chen was so angry that he shouted, "Shut up."
Then he continued to stare at Shen Qiuli and asked, "Tell me, what is your relationship with that man just now?"
Shen Qiuli looked at her ex-husband who was questioning her and found it ridiculous. She said, "What relationship can there be? We are just friends. Besides, even if there is any relationship, it has nothing to do with you. Jiang Chen, don't bother with it. We are really divorced. I will not regret it. You also have to face the reality. We have been married for 20 years, and Xiaozhe's child is almost one year old. And I still don't get any respect from you. Our ending is your own choice."
Shen Qiuli had said these words to Jiang Chen many times on the phone, but this time, she said them to his face. Jiang Chen had been respected by others for most of his life, and he naturally did not want such a result. He was furious and wanted to find a place to vent, but he had nowhere to vent until he saw Jiang Yu standing not far away and watching them. Although he was about the same age as his grandmother, he was still full of energy. After seeing Jiang Yu, he rushed over, pointed at her and cursed: "It's you, it's you. If it weren't for you, our family would not have broken up. It's all because of you."
Maybe he was too angry or he had no other way to vent his anger on Jiang Yu, so this old professor, who had been a gentleman for half his life, raised his hand to hit Jiang Yu.
However, before he could make a move, Jiang Yu's father moved faster, stretched out his hand to stop him, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? What are you doing? You want to hit my daughter?"
Jiang Chen's physical strength was naturally inferior to that of Jiang's father. His hand was held by Jiang's father, so he couldn't do anything to Jiang Yu. He could only point at Jiang Yu and said with trembling lips: "You, I shouldn't have let you marry into our family. You made our family so gloomy."
Zhu Zhijian was completely impressed by this old man who could only shift the blame onto others. He rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you don't respect your wife and want to suck your son's blood to help your ex-wife's daughter. This caused your wife and children to separate. You are right. It's all other people's fault."
As soon as Zhu Zhi spoke, Jiang Chen turned his attention to them again: "And you, what kind of good daughter did you raise? She drugged my son and that's why he married her. People like you who are so uneducated have no qualifications to be our relatives. Let your wicked daughter divorce my son right away."
At this time, some people gathered around to watch the excitement. Zhu Zhi saw many familiar faces, who were neighbors from the same building. She was afraid that they would have a bad impression of Xiaoyu, so she tried to explain, but she couldn't refute it.
After all, according to what they knew, Jiang Yu and Jiang Zhe's marriage was ignominious, so neither of them had their wedding.
At this moment, Jiang Zhe's voice sounded from behind: "Dad, why did I marry Jiang Yu? You should ask your daughter instead of talking about Jiang Yu here."
Everyone looked over and saw Jiang Zhe walking over.
Jiang Yu didn't expect him to come down, and asked in surprise: "Why did you come down?"
Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were going to buy clothes? I didn't see you go upstairs, so I came down to look for you."
After protecting Jiang Yu behind him, Jiang Zhe looked at his father and said coldly, "You may not know, but it doesn't matter. I can tell you now that the drugging incident had nothing to do with Jiang Yu. It was your good son-in-law who offended someone and wanted to frame his son, so that's why Xiaoyu was a victim."
Jiang Chen naturally didn't believe it. After all, they knew that it was Jiang Yu who did all this.
"How is that possible?"
"You can ask them." Jiang Zhe didn't waste time talking to him and said, "If you want to see me, you can contact me directly. Don't come here again. My mother has divorced you and has nothing to do with you anymore. You'd better not look for her again. Otherwise, next time, I will ask the security guard to ask you to leave. Mr. Jiang Chen, you can leave now."
Only at this moment did Jiang Chen finally face his young son.
For so many years, he always felt that he lacked the courage of a man, and his personality was too kind and silent, not like himself at all. But today, he finally felt that he was a little like himself, but such coldness and sharpness were directed at him.
He sneered, and there was a weakness in his smile that he himself was not aware of: "Very good, Jiang Zhe, you have grown up and learned to chase your father away."
Jiang Zhe looked him straight in the face and said, "If I remember correctly, not long ago, you said you wanted to end all ties with me. When you were in the hospital, your son, who you wanted to end all ties with, paid for your medical expenses. And did your beloved daughter spend the New Year with you this year?"
Jiang Zhe really spent the New Year alone this year. Jiang Siyu blamed him because he couldn't help her. Jiang Zhe spent the New Year alone. On New Year's Eve, he ate cold rice alone. Then he thought about how happy they were when they were together, so he came here. It was surprising enough that Shen Qiuli was really unwilling to look back. What he didn't expect was that Jiang Zhe, who had always been taciturn in front of him, had become so eloquent.
Jiang Chen covered his chest and felt like he couldn't breathe.
Jiang Zhe stood not far away, with indifference in his eyes, and had no intention of helping him at all.
