It's better to be safe than sorry. Jiang Shushu was also afraid that such a coincidence would happen in the world. After all, she had never met Jiang Wenzhe's girlfriend. If it was really a mistake, it would be embarrassing. Although the possibility was very low, Jiang Shushu had to be prepared.
Jiang Shushu went to the bank to deposit the rent into his bank card, and then returned to Jiang Mingli's house. When he arrived at Jiang Mingli's house, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Only Jiang He and his wife were watching TV in the living room.
"Mom and Dad, are there just two of you at home?"
Xu Hehua: "Your sister-in-law is sleeping upstairs. Many of the ingredients she bought today are out of stock, so we have to wait. She didn't come back until after 2 pm. After packing up, your sister-in-law wanted to chat with us, but your father and I saw that she was very tired, so we let her take a nap. As she gets older, she will feel very tired if she doesn't take a nap.
Wen Chen was just asked to go out, so we're just watching TV here. Have you paid the rent yet?"
"I collected the money, had lunch, deposited it in the bank and came back."
"Did you two take a nap today?"
Jiang He: "I slept. I went out for a walk with Wen Chen this morning, had lunch outside, and then slowly walked back to take a nap. I was too lazy to go out in the afternoon, so I stayed at home."
…
Sun Lili woke up after sleeping for an hour and chatted with Jiang Shushu and the other two while preparing the vegetables. Jiang Shushu also helped peel garlic, chop green onions, coriander and chili peppers.
Jiang Shushu looked at Sun Lili, who was almost 50 years old, and advised: "Sister-in-law, nannies are quite developed now. If you don't like strangers at home, then hire a part-time nanny. This can reduce the burden. Why work so hard? The biggest use of making money is to improve your life. You always ask me how I maintain my health. In addition to eating well, drinking well, sleeping well and being in a good mood, the most important thing is that I am not tired and I have free time! If you can maintain my state, it will be hard for you not to look young." Alas, people of this era have this common problem to a greater or lesser extent. They feel very uncomfortable if they don't work for a day.
Jiang He also advised: "Lili, your sister is right. You are not young anymore. Don't make yourself so tired. Your family is not without money. You should hire a nanny. Otherwise, you will get sick from working yourself to death. What a shame!"
Xu Hehua also advised: "Yes, you are almost 50 years old, and you still think you are young. Your sister's family also hired an hourly worker. She leaves after work every day. It is very convenient and does not affect our lives at all. You can try to hire one to come and see."
Sun Lili didn’t feel tired when she was young, but now that she is older, she feels very tired every time after cleaning, and she can’t help but think about it carefully.
"Okay, I'll go check it out in a few days and try to find a part-time nanny to help share the burden."
"It should have been done a long time ago. I've advised you many times, but you wouldn't listen. You've suffered from housework for several more years." The sister-in-law finally changed her mind.
Sun Lili said with a smile: "I used to feel very happy to be able to take care of the family. It wasn't hard at all."
After dinner in the evening, Jiang Shushu went straight to Jiang Wenzhe and said, "Wenzhe, accompany me for a walk."
Jiang Wenzhe was surprised why Jiang Shushu asked only him to leave. But he still stood up obediently and said, "Okay."
Jiang Shushu took Jiang Wenzhe to a less crowded direction.
"Aunt, do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes, I'm telling you exactly what I'm thinking. I'll say it in a tactful yet competent way, so you can understand without feeling too hurt."
Jiang Wenzhe: “…”
"Aunt, I'm 26, not six. I can handle pressure well. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't overthink it."
That's what I've been waiting for you to say. Well, I won't be polite. I'm already giving you face by not saying it in front of your family.
"Today I went to collect rent, and then had lunch at a restaurant. After I ordered, I went to the bathroom. The people in the private room next to me didn't know there was someone next to them, and they spoke without restraint."
Two girls were discussing one of them's boyfriend. Although they didn't mention his name, the occupation, family background, and family demographics they described match yours. I suspect one of them is your girlfriend.
Jiang Shushu's expression suddenly grew serious, a scowl on his face. "I can sum up those two girls in eight words: low character, vicious minds. They're nothing like the well-educated, gentle, and kind girlfriend you're talking about."
"Aunt, it might be a coincidence. Zhirou is a very good person." Jiang Wenzhe was unwilling to believe that his girlfriend, who had been with him for more than half a year, would be such a person.
"Is it a coincidence? We'll know tomorrow. I deliberately squatted for half an hour, and I remember their faces. I also have a recorder here with part of their conversation. You can listen to it first and see if it's your girlfriend's voice.
You know, when collecting rent, you're bound to run into one or two weirdos, so I always carry a recorder with me."
Jiang Shushu took out a recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button directly.
"His dad would agree."
"Why don't you agree? Are my own sons and grandsons not as good as an old woman? Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. After all, I studied law, and I won't let anyone step on my head."
…
The more Jiang Wenzhe listened, the gloomier his expression became, and he couldn't suppress the anger on his face.
After the recording finished playing, Jiang Shushu asked, "Is that your girlfriend's voice?"
Jiang Wenzhe said helplessly: "Very similar."
Because we were far away, and the conversation between Lin Zhifang and her sister wasn't particularly loud, I could hear what they were saying, but the sound quality wasn't very good.
"What are you going to do if the person inside is your girlfriend?" If he dares to marry such a disaster, he is really that stupid. When he gets home, I will ask Jiang Mingli to kick him out of the house. Don't bother with such a treacherous son.
"If it's really her, I will break up with her. I will never marry such a scourge." If it's really Lin Zhirou, and she dares to play tricks on me, I will never let her go so easily.
Does Lin Zhirou think I'm stupid? Or dead? She really thinks being my wife is the end of the world. Why does she think I'd abandon my family for her, abandoning my family of over 20 years for her? Who gave her that confidence?
I can respect you, love you, and prevent others from bullying you, but that doesn’t mean you can step on my head and shit on me.
"How about you ask your girlfriend out? I'll see if she's the person I met at the restaurant today?"
"She called me this afternoon and said she was at her grandmother's house and wouldn't be back until around 11:00 tomorrow. She wanted me to pick her up at the station and bring her home."
"Then go ahead and invite your girlfriend to lunch tomorrow. I'll go with you to pick her up. If it's not her, just think of me as your aunt-in-law meddling in other people's business. I'll give her a big red envelope to apologize. If it's her, then you can handle it yourself." If you don't use the lunch tomorrow, you can eat it by yourself.
