Chapter 349 Is it really such a coincidence?
Everyone at the table was upset when they heard what Feng Qiaozhen said.
Jiang Duo's face turned cold: "My wife does whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with others."
Jiang Shouxin also looked at the other party with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, today is a good day, you should eat more and talk less."
"Isn't this also for the good of the Jiang family? If she fails the exam, it will be a loss for our family..."
Jiang Shouxin retorted: "It's a good thing for the child to have her own ideas. It proves that she is motivated. She is Jiang Duo's wife. No matter whether the test results are good or bad, we, the second house, will accept it ourselves. It won't embarrass you."
"I..."
"Aunt," Mingzhu interrupted Feng Qiaozhen with a smile, "I heard that your daughter's job was found by your third aunt through her connections. You can't be mean to others just because your daughter doesn't have the courage to take the college entrance examination? Besides, the Jiang family married someone as ridiculous as you, so I guess they don't care much about face."
Feng Qiaozhen slammed her chopsticks on the table, but before she could say anything, the old man also slammed the table, "Zhuzhu is right, if you have the ability, let Jiang Fei take the college entrance examination as well, and I am not here to laugh at other people's ambitions. I don't know what you two want to do today! The family is having a meal together, but you have so many problems. I am almost sick because of you. This family can't accommodate you. You two should go upstairs and pack your things immediately and go back to your own home!"
After these words came out, Feng Qiaozhen became obedient instantly. She had lived with the old man for more than three months, eating and drinking for free and taking advantage of everything. If she really had to go back home, the whole family would have to spend their own money to live.
Why? Who made Jiang Shoucheng not as capable as his two younger brothers? Jiang Shoucheng is the old man's son, and the old man has to be responsible. They won't leave.
The old man was not polite either: "If you don't leave, I will arrange for the security guards to bring people to throw your things out. Don't think I'm cruel when you lose face."
The couple still didn't move. The old man got up and really went to make a phone call. Feng Qiaozhen was annoyed when she saw that her two sisters-in-law, who were usually good at handling things, didn't come to stop him.
The old man was serious, and she was not really not afraid of losing face, so she had to agree to go back and stay for a few days.
The two went upstairs to pack up the family's things and came down. Before leaving, she looked at the gifts that Mingzhu brought on the coffee table. She wanted to use the excuse that she was not feeling well recently and needed to replenish her body to get them.
But the old man was not a pushover. When he saw the look in her eyes when she looked at the gifts, he knew what she was thinking.
He turned and looked at Fang Shuyu: "Second brother, I don't need the things your daughter-in-law brought recently. You can take them home and keep them for me. When I want to eat, you can bring them to me."
"Okay, Dad."
Feng Qiaozhen left with gritted teeth, and started yelling and cursing Jiang Shoucheng as soon as she went out.
Jiang Shoucheng didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Mingzhu wondered, how could the Jiang family have such a cowardly elder?
After the uncle and his wife left, the family started chatting while eating at the dining table.
Several men talked about work, while Mingzhu chatted with Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui found that her sister-in-law, who was four years younger than her, could always keep up with whatever she said, from poetry and songs to life. She was cheerful and talkative, which suited her taste.
The two finished their meal early and continued their casual chat on the sofa.
Thinking of her uncle's tyranny, Mingzhu looked at the dining table and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Sui Sui, has your uncle always been like this?"
When Jiang Sui mentioned this, she felt sorry for her uncle and waved her hand.
"My dad said that when my uncle was young, he was full of vigor and vitality. He was a good person, kind to my second uncle and my dad, and had a good job. Later, he married my aunt, who was too powerful. She oppressed him for years, which made him lose his voice more and more."
Mingzhu was speechless: "Then why did he marry such a powerful and unreasonable daughter-in-law? Was it the elders who brought them together?" "
Don't mention it. When my aunt's grandfather was ten years old, he risked his life to hide him in the cellar to avoid persecution by the enemy. When my grandfather knew about this, he was naturally very grateful. For my uncle's safety, he sent my uncle to live with the other family for three years and arranged a baby marriage with the other family."
Mingzhu was speechless: "Is my aunt the baby marriage object of my uncle?"
"Originally... the engagement was with my aunt's cousin. My uncle had been living with her and had a very good relationship with her aunt. Even after she returned to my grandfather, they kept in touch through correspondence. But later, when the two were about to get married, something happened. My aunt fell into the water and was rescued by a man from the same village.
It was summer at the time, and both of them were wearing thin clothes. The man hugged my aunt and ruined his reputation, so they had no choice but to let the two get married. The Feng family didn't want to give up such a good marriage for our family, so they let my aunt marry my uncle."
Mingzhu nodded. It turned out that there was such a story in between.
She thought of something and asked, "Didn't you say that uncle had a good job before? Then why did I hear from Jiang Duo that uncle's family is squeezed into a three-bedroom tube-shaped building in the watch factory?"
Jiang Sui's expression became even more unbearable, "It's all because of aunt. Uncle used to be a soldier in the Western Military Region, and his rank was not low. He could have been transferred back after some hard work, and his rank might have been higher than that of second uncle. But
after aunt got married, she thought the place was too remote, and she made a fuss, forcing uncle to transfer back to the local public security bureau to work. Later, aunt made a fuss again, and she thought uncle was never home. Uncle was so tired that he resigned and became the director of the watch factory."
Mingzhu felt bad for uncle after hearing this.
But this is nothing, Jiang Sui said, my aunt misses her family very much.
She always gives her family everything she has, and she often uses her uncle's connections to introduce jobs to her brother.
But her brother is not a good person, and my uncle was about to be promoted to factory manager, but he lost the chance.
Moreover, my grandfather originally gave my uncle a courtyard house as a wedding house, which is also in the second ring road. But
my aunt's brother got married and had no money. At that time, houses were still allowed to be sold, so my aunt sold the house and gave her brother a subsidy to buy a big house.
She had thought that even if the house was sold, her grandfather would still have an old house to keep.
But she didn’t expect that when the movement started, her grandfather gave the house to the state for distribution. Her dream was shattered, and she had to follow her uncle and her family to get a dormitory for workers in the watch factory.
Her brother lived in a spacious courtyard, but they lived in a small house, crowded together, for more than ten years.
After listening to Jiang Sui, the phrase "攪家精" became a spirit, and suddenly became three-dimensional in Mingzhu's mind.
But... is it really such a coincidence? It just so happened that when the uncle was about to get married, the original aunt fell into the water and remarried?
Why didn't she believe it?
