After hearing this, Jiang Mingli fell silent and didn't want to say anything.
Chen Feng looked at the silent Jiang Mingli and became anxious. "Speak up! Yijun grew up under your care. If you don't help him, what will he do?"
If you ask me, what should I say? If you had a good relationship with my parents, I would have said this without you saying it. Now, it’s not about whether they agree or not, but I don’t have the face to say it.
"How can I help you? I can't! Don't you think your request is excessive? I clearly told you that my parents are not in good health. They can only take care of themselves, not Yijun. Besides, my sister still lives at home. It's not appropriate for Yijun to live in my house. It will easily lead to gossip. It's better to find a place for Yijun that is closer so that it will be convenient for me to visit him."
Seeing Jiang Mingli's direct refusal, Chen Feng was furious, but thinking of what Li Zhu had said before leaving, she suppressed her temper and continued to coax him: "What's the big deal? They are all real relatives. Besides, you don't have to ask your parents to take care of anything. Just cook a little more when cooking. It's not a big deal at all. Yijun won't eat and drink for free when he goes. My brother and sister-in-law will give him money, and your parents will be able to eat better. Didn't you say that your sister goes to work? Yijun can accompany the elderly when he goes. You also know that Yijun is sweet-talking. This way, your parents won't be bored at home! This is good for everyone. Why don't you agree? My dad is so worried about Yijun that he can't even eat. Can't you consider my dad?"
When Chen Zhong was mentioned, Jiang Ming hesitated, because Jiang Mingli could ignore what others thought, but not his father-in-law Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong not only helped Jiang Mingli find a job, but also held a higher position than Jiang Mingli in the machinery factory. Both publicly and privately, Jiang Mingli did not want to offend Chen Zhong.
Jiang Mingli was about to agree when Jiang Shushu, who had been mocking him, popped up in his mind, and scared him back to his stomach. "I'm not in my hometown, so I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll call and ask."
"Why can't you make the decision? You're their only son, and you'll be the one carrying their ashes. They should listen to you."
"I am the head of the family. Why don't you listen to me? Shouldn't you tell them before letting a stranger live with them?" Jiang Mingli said and went out.
Jiang Mingli came to the post office and dialed the number of the post office in Q City. He asked the employee who answered the phone to find his comrade-in-arms' wife who worked at the post office to answer the phone. After revealing his identity, he asked his comrade-in-arms' wife to help find someone to call Jiang Shushu, who worked at the East State-owned Hotel, to answer the phone.
Jiang Shushu was surprised to hear that Jiang Mingli was looking for her. Although she didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Shuli, she thought about it and went to the post office.
Go and check it out. Don't tell me he just sent me one month's money and then called back to say he won't send it anymore. If that's the case, I'll scold him until he goes back to the womb and is reborn.
Jiang Shushu called and Jiang Mingli answered immediately, "Little sister, it's me..."
"Call me." Jiang Shushu said and hung up the phone.
Are you kidding? It costs 1.1 yuan per minute to make a long-distance call, and 50 cents per 10 minutes to answer the call. You can tell what to do with your toes. After all, your money doesn't come from the wind, and it's not worth spending it on Jiang Mingli.
On the other side, Jiang Mingli was first stunned, then helpless.
Soon the phone rang. Jiang Shushu picked up the phone and heard Jiang Mingli's voice.
"Little sister, I'm the big brother."
"I know. What did you call me about?"
"Hehe... I have something to ask you. How are your parents? Are they able to go out to work in the fields? Did you receive the money I sent you?"
"I received the money, in two installments, a total of 215 yuan. My parents are in good health. As long as you send money back on time, they will eat and drink well, and their health will naturally improve."
"As long as you receive it, as long as you are in good health."
Then the brother and sister fell silent, and no one said anything on the phone.
Did Jiang Mingli finally have a change of heart? He actually made an expensive phone call to inquire about the health of the elderly couple. How bizarre.
"Then hang up if you're fine. The phone bill is quite expensive."
Jiang Mingli got anxious when he heard this, "Little sister, wait a minute, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? Don't tell me, as soon as you heard that your parents' health has recovered, you planned to cut off the pension money, right?"
Jiang Mingli heard Jiang Shushu's tone was a bit sinister, and quickly explained: "No, no, how could I do that? It's my duty to provide money for my parents' retirement."
When Jiang Shushu heard that it wasn't about money, he immediately felt better and asked calmly, "That's good. What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Your sister-in-law's nephew is going to the countryside. I want him to live in our brigade. What do you think? Don't worry, it won't be long, just two years. He won't eat or live for free. He will be given money and tickets. Just cook more and he can stay at home with his parents while you go to work. It's a win-win situation."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Damn, it's too early to be nice. I thought my relationship with Jiang Mingli was just about retirement money, but this guy is so shameless that he wants to leave his wife's nephew to his elderly mother and father to take care of him. Damn it, where's my 40-meter sword? I'm going to chop him to death through the phone line.
Jiang Shushu said in a cold voice, "Jiang Mingli, I was hard of hearing just now and didn't hear clearly what you said. Say it to me again, let me listen carefully to what you, the filial son, said." Give Jiang Mingli another chance. If he is still so shameless, then there is no need to save his face, and he will also lose his image as a little fairy. If I don't scold him to death, I will admit defeat.
Jiang Mingli knew how angry Jiang Shushu was just by hearing his voice, but he still gritted his teeth and said it again.
"Jiang Mingli, you're so nice, am I giving you any face? She's Shen Feng's nephew, what does he have to do with us? He lives at home and I cook him three meals a day, why don't you go to heaven? If you have our family in your heart, you won't say such shameless words. If you want to lick your wife's stinky feet, just lick it by yourself, don't bring us with you. I thought you had a conscience just now and knew to call back to say hello to your parents. It turns out that you made such an expensive call for your wife's family. People who don't know would think you were born in the Shen family?"
Jiang Mingli's face turned ugly for a moment, "Little sister, we are all relatives..."
Jiang Shushu got angry when he heard Jiang Mingli's voice. "Only a ghost can be related to the Shen family. Just based on what Shen Feng did to my parents, you can use your eyes as if they were breathing, but I can't. I can't bear to let my own parents suffer any grievances, so who is she, Shen Feng? How dare you treat them like this? I tell you, Jiang Mingli, I don't even recognize her as my sister-in-law. I will recognize her as a member of the Shen family. Are you kidding me?"
