Upon hearing Jiang Jinhua's words, the others realized that when they met Jiang Jinhua earlier that day, he had indeed brought nothing with him.
Even the clothes she's wearing now don't fit properly; they're a bit too long.
Hearing him say that he was almost forced to become a live-in son-in-law, everyone was curious about what he had experienced on the way.
Gu Xilan was the most restless. Her eyes shone with curiosity as she asked Jiang Jinhua, "Jiang Jinhua, how did you end up being forced to become a live-in son-in-law? Tell us about it."
"I'm not telling you," Jiang Jinhua said with a smug look on her face.
Gu Xilan rolled her eyes: "Tch, fine, don't tell me then."
Seeing that Jiang Jinhua was unwilling to talk, the others went about their own eating and chatting.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at him and said, "You can stay at the educated youth settlement for a while. I'm planning to build a house here. Once the house is finished and there are spare rooms, you can move in and live with us."
Jiang Jinhua was still not happy.
Jiang Jinxiu stopped paying attention to him and focused on eating. She would decide what to do after she finished eating, as she was extremely hungry.
At this moment, Gu Xiliang, who was sitting next to Jiang Jinhua, nudged his arm: "Hua-zai, tell me, what happened on your way here? How did you almost get kidnapped and forced to become a live-in son-in-law?"
I'll tell you when I have the chance.
“You have nowhere to live, why don’t you come and live with me first? Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are preparing to build a house. After they finish building it, you can move in with them. In the meantime, you can live with me. Anyway, it’s not far from here.”
Is it really possible?
Gu Xiliang nodded emphatically.
Jiang Jinhua was very happy. With his accommodation problem solved, he no longer needed to go to the educated youth settlement.
He turned to Jiang Jinxiu with an excited look on his face: "Sister, I want to live with him."
Jiang Jinxiu frowned. The two of them had only been together for a short time when they were stung by wasps and came back with such a big welt.
If we let them live together again, wouldn't they cause a huge uproar in the future?
Just as she was about to refuse, her aunt enthusiastically chimed in, "That's great, little brother-in-law, you can live with our Xiao Liang from now on. If you need anything, no problem. If you don't understand anything, you can ask our Xiao Liang."
He's always wanted to find a playmate. It's perfect that you two live together; you can help each other out if anything happens.
Then she said to Jiang Jinxiu, "Third brother's wife, why don't you let your younger brother live with Xiaoliang? Our house is spacious, and there's only Xiaoliang here. Anyway, he usually comes to your house a lot, so if he doesn't understand anything about our place, he can ask Xiaoliang."
We'll make further arrangements once your houses are built.
By the way, when do you plan to start building your house?
"We'll start building once Dad picks a good day."
“Okay, after we finish eating, I’ll go to the village chief’s house to borrow a calendar to help you choose an auspicious date,” Gu Dashan replied.
After the meal, Gu Xiliang took Jiang Jinhua away directly, as if he was afraid that Jiang Jinxiu would refuse.
Watching the two people who were moving faster than rabbits, Jiang Jinxiu shook her head helplessly.
She went back to her room to pack a few of Gu Xichen's clothes to give him for the next few days.
Gu Dashan and Gu Dahai went to the village chief's house. They originally planned to borrow a calendar to study the dates, but when the village chief heard that they were helping Jiang Jinxiu and her family find a date to build their house, he also wanted to help them.
Then the two of them simply chose a date together at the village chief's house.
The three men chatted animatedly, each taking turns to speak.
The final date was set for October 1st.
There's still a little over a week to go.
The house is expected to be completed within two months.
The house needs to be built before the weather gets cold.
After agreeing on the time, Gu Dahai and Gu Dashan did not leave immediately.
The village chief brought out his homemade fruit wine, and the group got quite tipsy after drinking it for a while.
In the end, it was only after Yang Dongmei and Aunt Gu's family had not seen the two men return for a long time that they went to take the two drunk men home.
After everyone else finished packing, they went about their own business.
When Jiang Jinxiu returned to her room and was looking for clothes, she saw the fabric she had bought earlier.
I just remembered that I had planned to make clothes, but I had forgotten about it.
She wasn't very good at making clothes herself. After delivering two sets of clothes to Jiang Jinhua, she picked up the fabric and wanted to go find Yang Dongmei.
Just as I stepped out the door, I saw Sun Xiaomeng carrying Xiao Fangfang out as well.
Sun Xiaomeng saw Jiang Jinxiu carrying several bolts of cloth and asked curiously, "Third sister-in-law, what are you doing with all this cloth?"
"I want to ask my mother to make me some clothes, but I don't know how to sew," Jiang Jinxiu said, feeling quite embarrassed.
“No need to go, I’ll make it for you.” She leaned closer to Jiang Jinxiu and whispered, “Mother doesn’t know how to sew. A-Jing said that their clothes used to be made by their aunt and grandmother, and people would laugh at them for wearing them out. Later…”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Jiang Jinxiu blinking repeatedly at her, her eyes darting around. She asked curiously, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Jiang Jinxiu looked at her back helplessly and said, "Mother, you haven't rested yet?"
"No, if I were resting, how would I know that someone is talking bad about me?" Yang Dongmei said irritably.
Sun Xiaomeng felt a chill run down her spine. She had never spoken ill of her mother-in-law before, so how could she have been caught the first time she did?
You really shouldn't talk badly about others behind their backs.
Sun Xiaomeng turned around with an awkward smile and said embarrassedly, "Mom, I..."
Yang Dongmei waved her hand: "Alright, stop talking. Do you think I don't know what you're trying to say?"
The second son's wife is simple-minded; she wears her heart on her sleeve.
Then she said to Jiang Jinxiu, "I'm not very good at making clothes, but your second sister-in-law is quite skilled. You can tell her what kind of clothes you want to make, and she can basically make them."
Sun Xiaomeng learned her cooking skills from her mother.
Her mother used to be the best cook in the surrounding area.
They also opened a tailor shop and lived a fairly comfortable life.
And Sun Xiaomeng also learned her true skills.
Unfortunately, a family tragedy occurred later, leaving Sun Xiaomeng all alone.
She is not only good at making clothes, but also at embroidery.
Jiang Jinxiu was pleasantly surprised to hear this: "Then Mother, I'll go back inside with my second sister-in-law to talk."
Yang Dongmei nodded: "Go ahead."
Yang Dongmei took the small square from Sun Xiaomeng and said softly, "My dear grandson, how about playing with Grandma for a while? Let your mother and aunt go ahead and do your work."
"Grandma, I want to play with Blackie and Orange."
"Okay, Grandma will take you to play with them."
After saying that, he picked up Xiao Fangfang and left.
Jiang Jinxiu and Sun Xiaomeng then returned to Jiang Jinxiu's room.
She spread out several bolts of fabric: "Second sister-in-law, my younger brother has no clothes to wear right now. Could you make him a couple of sets of clothes to change into?"
