Chapter 152 Returning Home
"I'm going to go meet my sister!"
"I'll go meet my brother-in-law!"
The twin brother and sister, already awake, dashed out at lightning speed. Jiang Xiaosi remained quietly seated in his chair, not intending to move. The small, calm figure seemed quite composed, prompting his cousin to tease him curiously.
"Brother Yang, don't you miss your eldest sister? Look, your second sister and third brother have run away, why don't you go?"
"I do, but my elder sister will be here soon. Why should I run out to greet her?"
Jiang Yang glanced at his big cousin, his little eyebrows wrinkled cutely, and asked as if he was confused.
"It's such a simple thing, and it's fine if my second sister and third brother can't figure it out, but why can't my eldest cousin figure it out too? Aren't you very smart?"
Xu Hui, who was suddenly touched by the little kid, opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at his little cousin many times.
"Of course I know. So you see, aren't we adults sitting still? But you're a child, why aren't you moving either?"
"I'm a child, not a fool. What's going to happen will happen anyway, so why go around in circles?"
Well, that makes a lot of sense.
Xu Hui's eyes looked even more strange. He felt that this cousin who was not in good health seemed to be abnormally smart.
"you…"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Wan who came hurriedly from outside.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Wanjie'er!"
Mrs. Xu immediately stood up from her chair and went to meet her. When she took her daughter in her arms, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Mom, I miss you so much! I've only been away from home for two days, and I miss you so much, Mom!"
This is Jiang Wan's true words.
I don’t know why. I used to go to the palace to study and I would be away for six days at a time, but I never missed home as much as I did this time when I was away for only two days.
I really want to.
"Mom knows. Mom misses you at home too. Tell me quickly, how have you been these past few days?"
Li Chengxiu, who followed closely behind, quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Don't worry, mother. Don't you know who I am? My wife is the head of the family now. From now on, she will definitely have the final say in the family, just like you. I will definitely be more obedient than my father and will never make my wife angry."
Li Laosi is really not good at talking. If he tries to please his mother-in-law, he will definitely offend his father-in-law. As expected, he was taken aside by Jiang Huailiang.
"They're talking to each other, why are you, a man, butting in? Come with me, let's go to the front yard and talk!"
All the men, young and old, got up and left, and the women sat together in the backyard.
Jiang Han was like a chick looking for its hen, clinging tightly to his sister's arm and chattering about how much he missed her these past two days.
"Sister, you don't know how much I cried behind your back on the day you got married! I couldn't bear to leave you, do you know that?
And our mother has been like a lost soul these past two days, unable to eat or sleep. She's always worried that you might accidentally kill your brother-in-law.
And, what else? Old Third Jiang has been getting cocky again these past two days since you were away! Grandma is so partial, she treats everyone unfairly and still loves to treat everyone unfairly. I've been so pissed off these past two days! I didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about how I was going to complain to you today.
Sister, you must give Jiang Lao San a good beating later, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this breath!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I'm the most fair person. Didn't you praise me yesterday? Why are you complaining now?"
The old lady was obviously furious. The second girl's behavior of turning her back on her and refusing to acknowledge her was really a bit like the eldest girl's.
"If I didn't say that, wouldn't you be even more partial to Jiang Lao San?
Anyway, after my eldest sister gets married, I will become a little cabbage that no one cares about in the family, right?
Humph, didn’t you expect that? My sister is back again! "
Who doesn’t have a backer?!
Jiang Lao Er shook his head proudly, and his cute look of success made Xu and Jiang Wan laugh.
"Okay, Hanjie, stop being so disrespectful to your grandma. You're already a grown-up girl, and you're still so ignorant, how can you be so naive?"
Mrs. Xu scolded her daughter a few times, then turned back to coax her mother-in-law. Old children are always children. The older the elderly are, the more they need to be coaxed and treated like the younger generation.
"Mom, don't be so critical of the little girl. Han Jie'er is just happy to see her sister. The child is talking nonsense! She knows in her heart that you are a good grandmother, right, Han Jie?"
Jiang Wan quietly pinched her sister's fingers, and Jiang Han could only nod reluctantly to admit his mistake.
"Yes, my grandma is a very kind person, and she doesn't discriminate against boys at all! I was just talking nonsense just now. Grandma, please forgive me for my mistakes. Don't bother with a little girl like me who likes to tell the truth."
"Hmph, I think your character is getting more and more crooked. What will happen to you when you grow up? No matter who you marry into, they will be in trouble!"
The old lady angrily scolded her granddaughter, then turned around and scolded her daughter-in-law.
"And you, a cruel woman, if you weren't so partial and only cared about the eldest girl, you wouldn't have allowed the second girl to have such a bad temper!
The eldest girl has a bad temper, and you ask her to raise her younger sister. What good things can she raise?
I wonder who the second girl, with her stubborn personality, will marry in the future? Whoever she marries will cause chaos in their family. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
The old lady kept on nagging, and Xu had no choice but to sit beside her and nod in agreement, while constantly giving her advice.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll teach her later.
There's nothing wrong with girls having a tough personality. If they're too soft to handle things, wouldn't they be waiting to suffer no matter who they marry into? Not everyone is as lucky as me, to have a mother-in-law as kind as you who cares about her daughter-in-law.
We are not in the countryside anymore. There are many secrets in the homes of wealthy families. Just because our family is clean doesn't mean other families are clean too. For the sake of our children's future, shouldn't we teach them to be tougher now?
Mother, is this the truth?"
The old lady didn't really understand what was going on. She couldn't read, so how could she understand the tricks of the wealthy families? But she knew that her daughter-in-law understood!
"Hmph, you always have a point. No matter what I say, you've got something to say to me. Okay, she's not my daughter anyway, so why would I bother with her?"
He hummed twice before shutting up, with a look of reluctance on his face. It can be said that the grandfather and grandson are exactly the same.
Only after his mother coaxed his grandmother again did Jiang Wan speak with a smile.
"Don't worry, grandma. If the second child dares to do something stupid in the future, I will definitely not let her off."
"Counting on you?"
The old lady's pout became even more intense.
"You're such a jerk yourself, and you still have the nerve to say you want to control your sister?"
"No, why am I such a jerk again?"
Jiang Wan blinked, looking puzzled.
"Grandma, now is not the time for you to feel sorry for me and give me a big gold bracelet? It's only been two days since we last met, how come the relationship between us, as close relatives, has become watered down?"
