Chapter 459: Her cleverness was at the wrong time
Fang Shuyu nodded: "Your uncle didn't plan to go at first, but this morning your cousin came to him with Tiantian in her arms and begged him, and your uncle couldn't refuse his daughter-in-law and granddaughter's crying request, so he had to agree to go."
Tian Hongxiu also muttered: "Would someone like Feng Qiaozhen commit suicide? I don't believe it. She must be afraid that my eldest brother would sue her, so
she deliberately did it." The two sisters-in-law immediately started to criticize Feng Qiaozhen.
The two talked for a long time, and seeing that Mingzhu had not moved, Tian Hongxiu grinned: "Zhuzhu, don't mind it. Your mother and I... just like to talk about some nonsense."
Mingzhu smiled: "It's okay, you guys talk about your own things, I quite like to listen to them."
Tian Hongxiu:...
Fang Shuyu smiled: "You don't have to worry about my daughter-in-law putting on airs and standing on the moral high ground to accuse others. That's not the case."
Mingzhu deeply agreed: "Third aunt, what my mother meant is that I have no moral constraints and I have a bad mouth. If I hadn't been eating, I might have said more than you two, so you don't have to care about me, just talk about your own things."
Tian Hongxiu also chuckled, this little girl is really... so likable.
"Actually, there's nothing much we can say. I'm just worried that your uncle is soft-hearted and was fooled by Feng Qiaozhen again. Well, you see, the couple was getting a divorce, and we were here to help, and in the end they reconciled, and we... how embarrassing it would be."
Mingzhu said calmly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Uncle said but didn't do it, and he put us in an unjust position, which is like stabbing us in the back. He should be embarrassed. We just won't have any contact with him. There's no need to be embarrassed."
But in the final analysis, Mingzhu thought of the Feng family's trouble yesterday, and felt that maybe her mother-in-law and aunt were worrying too much. Feng Qiaozhen's cleverness came at the stage when her uncle hated her the most. She clearly chose the wrong time.
In the hospital, when Feng Qiaozhen saw Jiang Shoucheng coming in with a gloomy face, her pale face was filled with excitement: "Shoucheng, you came to see me, I..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything. Don't mind. Anyway, my money is all in yours and your parents' home. If you need any nutritional supplements, just buy them yourself."
These words sounded... quite insulting.
Jiang Fei saw this and went over and took Jiang Shoucheng's arm: "Dad, Mom almost died this time. She really realized her mistake. Don't be angry with her. Our family can still live together happily, okay?"
"Live together, how? Where?" Jiang Shoucheng looked at Jiang Fei: "Your mother spent all my money on your grandmother's house. Your brother got married and didn't even buy an apartment. Your mother's plan at the time was that since your cousin Jiang Duo was broke and had gone to the countryside, she could let your brother move into the main house of the old house he bought."
Jiang Fei's face tightened. She knew about this. At first, her father asked her mother to prepare a house for her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but her mother refused to do so, saying that Jiang Duo's house was empty, so wouldn't it be better for them to live in his?
As a result, whoever mentioned this to my grandfather, he would get anxious. The family didn't live in the current house, and didn't buy a new one, so they just lived in such a crowded place.
Jiang Shoucheng continued: "It's not that our family doesn't have the conditions to live in a big house and live a good life. Jiang Fei, others don't know, but you should know that Dad's salary is not low, it's enough to support the whole family, but your mother doesn't want to. She doesn't pay a penny for anything related to our family. She just wants to force me to beg from your grandfather and your second and third uncles. But as long as it's related to your uncle's family, your mother will always spend a lot of money."
"Shoucheng, at this time today, can we not talk about this?"
"Then you forced your daughter-in-law and granddaughter to call me here. What do you want to tell me? Forgive you, continue to live with you, and accept your orders?"
"No, no, I... I won't take care of the household in the future. Now that you've retired and have time, I'll give the money to you and you can be the housekeeper, ok?"
Jiang Shoucheng sneered: "I'll be the housekeeper? Ha, how much money do you have? One thousand?"
Feng Qiaozhen hesitated for a long time before saying, "More than eight hundred."
"Ha, it turns out that I've worked hard for half my life, and this little money is all I have left. So, your brother and the others must have taken far more than four thousand, at least six thousand."
Jiang Fei was anxious: "Mom, you're crazy. How much did you give them?"
Jiang Zhen, who had been silent from the beginning, was clenching his fists.
"No, I... I didn't give it all at once. A little here, a little there, I... can't remember clearly. Shoucheng, if you come to be the housekeeper, our lives will slowly get better in the future."
Jiang Shoucheng said coldly: "You have calculated very well. The unit house is going to be vacated, and I want to use the more than 800 yuan to buy a house for my own family, a house for Jiang Zhen and his wife, a wedding house for Jiang Zhuo, and a dowry for Jiang Fei. I have to take care of the food, drink, and defecation of a family of six or seven. Tell me, how can we live a good life? Oh, by the way, you have a trump card, but you cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide. Now I am old and have to go back to the Jiang family to beg."
"I..." Feng Qiaozhen's eyes were red: "I just felt too inferior at the time, because my family conditions were too poor, and I was afraid that you would look down on me..."
"If you look down on me, our two families will never get married. You are making excuses for yourself."
"I'm not..." "
Feng Qiaozhen, don't talk nonsense to me. I know the purpose of your suicide attempt this time, but it's useless. I will not change my mind. If you die, I will just regard you as a widow, but now that you are fine, you can either go back to your parents' home and ask me for the money back, or divorce me. I only give you three days. If you don't see the money in three days and you refuse to divorce, then you can go to jail."
Feng Qiaozhen cried: "Shoucheng, if I go to jail, what will others say about my children? Please, for the sake of the children, let me go this time. I really know I was wrong. You should give me a chance to reform."
"I've given you many chances over the past thirty years. If you had had a change of heart once, our lives wouldn't have ended up like this," Jiang Shoucheng said, and then looked at Jiang Zhen, who had been silent from the beginning, and Jiang Fei, who had red eyes.
His eyes were full of disappointment: "If they still knew that I was their father, they would know what respect is. That day, they went to my grandfather's house and poked my spine and scolded me. The next day, Jiang Zhen pulled my collar and pressed me against the wall to help your mother's family frame me. Such a child... I, Jiang Shoucheng, am disappointed and don't want him anymore."
Jiang Zhen was anxious: "Dad!"
"Jiang Zhen, your two uncles treat you well. You have also seen your two cousins. During the holidays, they gave me so many gifts and did so many things for me, but what have I done for your cousins? What have you done to show filial piety to your two uncles?"
"If you still have some humanity, when you encounter problems in the future, ask your mother to help you solve them, and don't bother the Jiang family anymore. We are a family, so let's just break up like this, that's fine."
