Chapter 145 Fence-Sitter



Everyone in Jiangjia Village: "..." Is the relationship between the brother and sister good? Or is it bad? They said it was bad, but they came back together. They said it was good, but they didn't communicate the whole time. Shushu never mentioned her brother.

The brother and sister returned to the Jiang family one after another.

When Xu Hehua heard the sound of a bicycle, she guessed that it was Jiang Shushu who had returned, and she happily came out of the kitchen, "Shushu, you're back. Mom just fried some meatballs..."

Xu Hehua's voice stopped abruptly, and then tears flowed down unconsciously, because she saw Jiang Mingli behind Jiang Shushu. At this time, Xu Hehua's eyes were five parts of longing, three parts of sadness, and two parts of heartache.

Jiang Shushu: "..." Should I go and comfort her? Or not? Comforting her would make me feel bad, but not comforting her and just watching wouldn't be good either.

Fortunately, Jiang Shushu didn't have to worry about it, Jiang Mingli took action immediately.

Although Jiang Mingli is selfish, he is still somewhat filial when there is no conflict of interest. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw his mother crying.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Wuwuwu... You haven't been back for so many years, what are you doing back?"

Jiang He, who was tidying up things in the room, heard Xu Hehua crying and quickly ran out of the house. When he saw Jiang Mingli, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Dad, I'm back."

Jiang Shushu took the things and went back to his room to put them away. Then he brought a stool and sat at the door of his room, watching this touching scene calmly.

If I didn't want to look too awkward, I would have gone to the main room to grab a handful of melon seeds and eat them while watching, even though the scene was a bit depressing.

"Dad, Mom, I haven't been back to see you for so many years. I am unfilial. Please forgive me. I wanted to come back during the Chinese New Year holidays in the past two years, but Wenchen and Wenzhe fell ill one after another and could not leave...plus Xiaofeng is rather willful...I hope you can forgive me." Jiang Mingli expressed his helplessness and sadness.

Jiang Shushu: "..." What a lie! If you really wanted to, you would have come back 800 years ago. From what you said, if I didn't know you were in the provincial capital and could take a bus in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, I would have thought you lived in the far north. Returning home would require countless hardships and difficulties.

When Xu Hehua heard that Jiang Mingli had his own difficulties, she cried even harder, "I forgive you this time, but don't do this next time."

Jiang Shushu: “…” It turns out that one cannot overestimate Xu Hehua. She is just a fence-sitter.

Maybe what Xu Hehua cared about was not the reason, but the reason given by Jiang Mingli. She would probably believe it no matter whether it was reasonable or not as long as it was said by Jiang Mingli.

Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang He, and Jiang He also looked at Jiang Shushu. The father and daughter's eyes met for a second, both felt like they were caught, and then they looked away from each other tacitly.

Jiang He was not as easy to fool as Xu Hehua. He knew that Jiang Mingli's words were half true and half false, but seeing Xu Hehua's expression, it was not easy to expose her in person.

After all, he is my biological son. The New Year is only a few days away, so I’ll just celebrate it at home and make me happy.

So Jiang He agreed to Jiang Mingli's words.

Jiang He had just digested the news that Jiang Mingli was going home for the New Year, when Jiang Mingli dropped another big bomb. This year he brought his wife and children back to celebrate the New Year. He was currently staying in a guesthouse due to motion sickness and would be back tomorrow.

Xu Hehua was speechless when she heard this, and Jiang He became angry when he heard this.

"I welcome you and the children to come home for the New Year, but don't bring Chen Feng back. I, your father, am in poor health and can't stand being scolded." Jiang He had no good feelings towards Chen Feng at all.

"Mingli, Chen Feng probably doesn't like the village, so you'd better not force her." Xu Hehua also politely refused.

"Dad, Mom, I've already severely disciplined Chen Feng about the pension money issue. She already knows she was wrong. She came here to apologize to you. Mom, we were wrong before. For the sake of your two grandsons, can you give Chen Feng a chance? Let her apologize to you. I promise that Chen Feng really knows she was wrong."

Xu Hehua didn't want to see Chen Feng at first, but Jiang Mingli's sincere attitude, coupled with his longing for his grandson, made Xu Hehua waver again. But Xu Hehua remembered that she had said that she would discuss the matter of Chen Feng with Jiang He, so she looked at Jiang He eagerly.

Jiang He didn't say anything. He thought for a while before agreeing. He calmly asked Jiang Mingli to take his wife and children home to celebrate the New Year tomorrow.

Xu Hehua and Jiang Mingli were both happy when they heard this.

Jiang Shushu looked at the happy Xu Hehua and really wanted to call her a slut who only remembered the food and not the beating. She deserved to be pinned to the ground and rubbed.

Then Jiang Mingli happily rode away on his bicycle.

Xu Hehua turned around and saw Jiang Shushu sitting at the door with a cold expression. For a moment, she opened and closed her mouth but didn't say a word.

After a long while, she finally said, "Shushu, you must be hungry. Mom will go cook."

Jiang He walked over to Jiang Shushu, and Jiang Shushu spoke first, "Why?"

Jiang He sighed, "Shushu, I know your brother's words are a bit exaggerated, and I can only believe them 50% at most, but your brother is still my child. They have returned, and I can't turn them away. This will have a bad influence on your brother. Although I am very angry about your brother's behavior, as a father, I still hope that your brother will be safe and happy throughout his life. They will only stay for a few days at most and then return to the provincial capital. It won't have any impact on us."

"Have you ever thought about the purpose of their return? I think it's probably related to Shen Yijun. They want Shen Yijun to live at home and let you take care of him."

"I won't agree to that."

"Will your wife agree? By then, her two grandsons will take turns begging her. Are you sure she won't agree?"

Jiang He: "..." Well, does the old lady agree? I really can't guarantee it.

"It doesn't matter whether your mother agrees or not. What matters is whether your father agrees or not. As long as your father doesn't nod his head, your mother's consent will be meaningless. I can assure you of this. In your mother's heart, your father's status in the family is still higher than your brother's." Jiang He has always been so confident about his family status.

Jiang Shushu: “…” Feelings are the lowest in my family.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's just a few days, right? I'll pretend they don't exist. Dad, let me make it clear in advance that I won't cause any trouble these few days, but if trouble comes to me, I won't tolerate it."

"Why should you hold back your anger and swallow your anger in your own home? Just be yourself and be polite to your brother and sister-in-law. As for your two nephews, they are still young, so just don't scare them. If they cause trouble, I will let them go back on the second day of the New Year when I have a car."

"OK."

Jiang Shushu stood up and said, "Dad, I bought a new set of clothes for you and Mom respectively, for you to wear tomorrow. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." He didn't even want to give the clothes to her just now.
