Chapter 288 Maid
Liang Lan also asked, "How much does it cost this month?"
Jiang Mi said proudly, "I've already bought it. This place is ours. We can stay as long as we want, and we can decorate it however we want. There's nothing to worry about. Everyone can just treat it like we're in Hongyang Village."
"What? You bought this house? This is a house in the capital!" Liang Lan said in surprise. She had already started looking around. She had been holding back because she thought it was a rented house, but after hearing Jiang Mi say this, she immediately became less polite.
Jiang's mother also said with concern, "This house must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Jiang Mi comforted her, saying, "Instead of renting it and paying someone else every day, why not just buy it yourself? When I bought it, the owner of the house was in urgent need of money, so it didn't cost too much. You can live here without worry."
Hearing Jiang Mi say this, everyone felt a little more at ease. Since they had already bought it, they might as well enjoy it.
"Father, Mother, this main room is for you to live in. You will live here from now on."
Jiang's mother and Jiang Cheng went inside and took a look, exclaiming in amazement, "Wow, this room is so big! It would be a waste for the two of us to live here. There's even a bed! What's this?"
"The chaise lounge is perfect for you, Mother. If you get tired, you can lie down here to rest and bask in the sun. You can also enjoy the cool evening air in the courtyard." This was specially prepared by Jiang Mi for her mother.
Jiang's mother was flattered and said, "Oh my, this must have cost a lot of money, right? I don't deserve such a nice thing. You should take it and use it. I don't need it. Is there a place to receive guests here? Your father and I don't have any guests here. Why don't you let your two brothers use it?"
Jiang Zhi also chimed in, "We have a study where we can receive guests. Parents, you can stay here without worry. These are our own rooms. Yindi, come on, let me show you our rooms. Honey has prepared a lot of things for the child. Go and see if you like them."
Su Yindi said with delight, "Great! Thank you so much, little sister."
Jiang Xuan led his wife back to their room, and Jiang's father asked, "Your second and third brothers both have their own rooms, but what about your eldest brother? Where does he live?"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "After all, the eldest brother is the boss, so he should naturally live in the main seat. I arranged his room in the side room next door. Although it is a little small, it is enough. When there are more people in the family in the future, we will move to a bigger house."
Jiang's mother waved her hand: "This house is already very big, why would we want to move to a bigger one? Your father and I are alive and living in such a nice house, so we've lived a worthwhile life. Just take care of yourselves. By the way, Honey, where is your room?"
Jiang Mi then pointed to the back: "I live in the back annex, which is where the women live. There are still a few empty rooms, which can be used by the younger generation in the future."
Jiang's mother strolled around the yard again and was very satisfied with it: "I think we could plant some vegetables. This yard is so big, it would be a shame to leave it empty."
Jiang Mi looked helpless, knowing that her mother was used to it and wanted to make use of any spare land. But since it was just sitting empty anyway, it would be good to plant something.
"What's wrong with you? You haven't had enough of farming at home, and now you've come all the way to the capital to farm. Don't embarrass your daughter."
After being told off by Jiang Cheng, Jiang's mother dared not say anything more. She was just saying that if such a beautiful place were used to grow vegetables, it would lose its charm. Moreover, her second and third sons had both become officials, and doing such things at home would only bring shame to their sons.
“Dad, don’t criticize Mom. I think what Mom said makes a lot of sense. If we grow our own vegetables, we can save a lot of money.”
Just then, a servant brought in Jiang's mother and Jiang Cheng's luggage, and two maids came in to unpack it. Jiang's father's eyes widened when he saw it, and Jiang's mother slapped him: "What are you doing? Haven't you ever seen a woman before? Your eyes are practically popping out of your head. Your daughter is right here."
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've lived for so many years and I've never been served like this before. I used to take care of you, and now someone is taking care of me."
Jiang's mother rolled her eyes at him, then whispered to Jiang Mi, "These people must have made a lot of money, right?"
Jiang Mi smiled and lowered her voice as well: "No, don't worry. You're all getting older now, and it's good to have someone take care of you. It makes me feel more at ease. Besides, I have two maids. My second brother and third brother each have a maid and a servant. Now that my third sister-in-law has a child, we need to find a nanny to help take care of her."
Jiang's mother opened her mouth, intending to offer to help take care of the child, but she couldn't easily refuse Jiang Mi's kindness. Her son was about to become an official, so they had no choice but to adapt to this kind of life.
"Master, Madam, the luggage is packed."
Jiang's mother and father were somewhat at a loss for words. Jiang's mother said awkwardly, "Thank you both for your hard work."
Jiang Mi waved to them, "You can go down now. Go and get some hot water for the master and madam. They've had a long and dusty journey; they should take a shower."
"Yes." The two maids responded and left. Only after the person disappeared did Madam Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh dear, it seems I'm not destined to enjoy a life of luxury. When someone takes care of me, I feel uneasy and want to pay them back. Am I going to embarrass my second and third brothers in the future?"
Father Jiang then swaggered down and sat down. The two maids had just poured him tea, and he was drinking it, looking quite relaxed.
“Mom, you’re overthinking it. I paid them to take care of you two. Look how well Dad is enjoying himself now. You should learn from him and not think so much. Look how well your two sisters-in-law are adapting.”
Jiang's mother glanced around and seemed to be the only one who wasn't comfortable. She went to lie down on the chaise lounge or higher and couldn't help but praise, "This chair is really nice, it's so comfortable to lie on."
Su Yindi, on the other hand, looked at the maid with a wary expression. The maid felt uncomfortable under her gaze. Jiang Zhi noticed something was wrong and told the maid to leave first.
"What are you doing? Why are you looking at people like that?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yindi glared fiercely at Jiang Zhi again: "You've had a very comfortable time while I was away, haven't you? I thought you'd be lonely sleeping in such a big house all by yourself, but it turns out you have such a beautiful girl with you. You must be having a great time."
Jiang Zhi immediately understood what Su Yindi meant.
