Chapter 75 The whole family is happy
"Jiang Daxiong, my sister risked her life to rescue me from the Heavenly Prison. If she hadn't taken me with her, she could have gone anywhere with Qin Zhenning. She wouldn't have died so early. You, don't blame me..."
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
"Don't cry, I didn't say anything."
Jiang Huailiang couldn't bear to see this woman cry in his life. He didn't know how to express the discomfort in his heart. Anyway, he knew that in the eyes of this woman, he was not even a little bit better than her sister. This was certain.
Alas, I’m still angry.
"Xu Ruoyu, don't forget what you said when you forced yourself on me.
At that time, in order to support the eldest girl, you cheated me of all the money I had saved, not to mention the little money your sister gave me.
I've worked so hard to raise this kid to this age, and he's obviously feeling sorry for his father. Now you want to give him away?
No way!
So I'm going to tell you something upfront, Jiang Wan is my daughter, the eldest daughter of my Jiang family, and she will be my daughter for the rest of her life!"
He reached out and pinched the person into his arms, speaking fiercely, but he wiped his wife's tears very gently, for fear of hurting her.
"I didn't say to send it away. I just wanted Qin Zhenning to check if it was him or some other noble family that did something to our child."
"I'm glad you didn't think so."
With such a tall and strong body, he hugged his wife and hummed in a petty manner.
"Hmph, I, the daughter raised by my Jiang family, will not give my daughter away to that gigolo! No, that old gigolo. Ouch, wife, let go, your ears are going to fall off..."
"I told you to keep talking nonsense all day long! You're such a big guy, but your heart is as small as a needle's eye. You've been talking about me for so many years, I'm jealous of you."
Mrs. Xu wiped her face with a handkerchief in annoyance.
"Who's petty? I'm not jealous at all. I'm looking down on men who can't take responsibility. If he was really that responsible, would he let his wife and children end up like that?
You said Jinniang praised that pretty boy to the heavens and earth, and she couldn't bear to forget him even when she was dying. What a miserable life she had lived."
Jiang Huailiang rubbed his ears and sighed.
"I'm just afraid that if one of our two girls looks like your sister, it will be a disaster!
Luckily, my daughters are all smart, especially the eldest, who knows better than to pick a man based on his looks. That's a relief.
Hehehe, a good person has the energy like me!"
"Looks like you, looks like you. If your daughter, Jiang Daxiong, doesn't look like you, who else does? Let me go quickly. The children should be back soon."
"It's still early, why are you in such a hurry? Sister Yu, I think..."
"You don't want to! Get out of the way. I have to go visit my parents. Please come with me."
After struggling to free herself from the other person's bear hug, Xu walked to the shelf, washed her hands and face, and put on makeup in front of the mirror.
"Okay, it's just right for us to eat at our parents' place tonight. This way, the kids won't have to run back and forth in such a cold day."
"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen later."
The couple chatted with each other. Jiang Huailiang sat there looking at his wife's petite and delicate shoulders, and the tough man's eyes were full of tenderness.
He was originally just an ordinary farmer. If it weren't for the smoke rising from his ancestral graves, and if he hadn't been impulsive enough to save the Xu sisters from their misfortune, how could he have found such a lovely woman to bear children and take care of the family?
Hey, I'm really lucky in this life.
It was already dark when Jiang Wan returned with her siblings. The three siblings went to look for their mother first, then made their way to their grandparents' Songheju.
"My eldest grandson is back?
Come inside and warm up! Look how tired you must be after studying outside all day! Your little hands and face are freezing cold. Poor you!
Grandma has asked the kitchen to stew the chicken. I will give both big chicken legs to my eldest grandson. No one else is allowed to grab them!"
While the old lady was speaking, she glanced at her two granddaughters. It was obvious that she could only see the eldest grandson's preference for boys over girls, and the heartfelt love he showed her, which was still the familiar formula.
Jiang Wan and Jiang Han have been able to turn a blind eye to this.
"Thank you, grandma. I know you love me the most! I also brought you some delicious cakes. Please try them..."
Letting the third brother coax the old lady to go aside and enjoy the deep affection between grandparents and grandchildren, the two young girls sat down next to their parents and warmed themselves by the fire.
Although the Jiang family had successfully ascended to the nobility, their peasant roots remained largely unchanged. The courtyard where the old man and his wife lived was especially well-maintained, meticulously practical, like a typical rural dwelling.
Not to mention the big stove that was moved into the house, the southwest corner of the backyard was also specially fenced off for raising chickens and growing vegetables!
"Grandpa, I just passed by a pastry shop on my way back, and I ordered some osmanthus cake for you. The shop owner said that the osmanthus flowers in this cake are fresh osmanthus flowers from this autumn, specially pickled with honey, and the taste is particularly delicious. Please try it."
The old man had bad teeth and couldn't eat anything serious, but he loved sweets. So Jiang Wan would buy something for him from time to time to show his filial piety and bring joy to the family.
Old man Jiang smiled and asked casually while taking the cake handed over by his eldest granddaughter.
"Why did you buy me snacks again? Did you do something naughty outside?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa."
Jiang Wanxiao is considerate.
"That's fine."
The old man opened his mouth and took a bite with confidence, then he heard his eldest granddaughter, who was a little bit wicked, speaking with a smile again.
"How could it not be?"
"……puff,"
The old man, who was used to being cheated, reacted quickly. He opened his mouth to spit out the osmanthus cake, but Jiang Han, who was sitting next to him, rushed over and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Grandpa, you've already eaten it. It would be bad to spit it out. Wasting food is wrong. Have you forgotten?"
"Well...still...surround...Yan..."
"Then swallow it down now. Eating our food is considered your consent. Eat quickly, Grandpa!"
Wow, this is forced filial piety.
"…Well…"
"Second girl, let go! Your grandpa is choking!"
Jiang Huailiang rushed over and took the naughty child away. Xu brought tea and asked her husband to help the old man drink it quickly so that he could eat smoothly. Only then did he recover.
"What have you two been up to again, you two damned girls? It's fine if you're just being naughty outside all day, but why are you coming back to punish your grandfather? He's already that old, how can he handle your constant mischief?"
The old lady was so angry that she wanted to take off her shoes and beat them. You see, she almost became an old widow in one wrong turn. How could she accept this?
"Mom, please calm down. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault, not my fault for not teaching the children well. I'll punish them by making them copy the Book of Filial Piety. Don't be angry, Mom."
As always, Mrs. Xu comforted her mother-in-law.
Xu Huailiang couldn't speak about his daughters in front of others, so he could only point his fingers at the air and point at them a few times.
Jiang Han rushed over with a guilty conscience to give his grandfather a back massage.
