"That won't do!"
The Chen family members all looked at Jiang Shiyue who had voiced their objection.
Jiang Shiyue slowly bit off a piece of meat from the red willow branch. She felt hot and fanned her mouth with her other hand. She looked relaxed, as if the words just now did not come from her.
Chen Jiadong was furious when he saw Jiang Shiyue and asked angrily, "What does this have to do with you? What rights do you have to object?"
"Of course, because these two rooms are mine!"
The Chen family members were all silent, as if they couldn't react for a moment.
Chen Shanhe frowned and reminded Jiang Shiyue, "We are just staying here temporarily."
What use do they have for this house? They won't be back any time soon.
Even if he retired from the army and returned to his hometown, he would not force Jiang Shiyue to live in the same yard with his sister-in-law. He would build a new yard.
Chen Dingguo tilted his head, obviously surprised, "You want these two rooms as your wedding room?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "Grandpa, are you willing to give it up?"
Chen Dingguo laughed heartily, "Give it to me! Why not? I have five houses, three for Shanlin and two for you. Actually, you're at a disadvantage!"
"Suffering a loss is a blessing!" Jiang Shiyue said with great generosity, "Since my nephew is already so old, I won't fight for the extra room!"
Seeing that Chen Dingguo and Jiang Shiyue had changed the ownership of their old house in just a few words, Wu Xiu'e suddenly became anxious, "Dad, are you drunk and confused? What are we going to do if you give the main house to your sons?"
Chen Dingguo raised his chin and pointed at the east wing, "Isn't this side room nice to live in?"
Wu Xiu'e slapped Chen Dingguo's shoulder in anger, "How can it be good? Not to mention the cold in winter and the hot in summer, we can't move around in this room for daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. You know I'm not very mobile, and the steps in this room are high, so it's not convenient for me to go up and down. And those rats crawled all over us last night. We can just make do for a few nights. You can't move, what if you get bit by a rat over a long period of time?"
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
It is said that raising children is a preparation for old age. After suffering for most of their lives, the first thing they saw was that their two daughters-in-law took turns trying to occupy their old house.
Chen Shanlin disagreed, "Mom is right! This is absolutely not allowed! If both of us brothers occupy the main house, won't the people in the production team poke us in the back and call us unfilial in the future?"
"Big brother is right." Jiang Shiyue agreed. "In that case, why don't you move to the side room first and let the old man and the others live in the main house first?"
Chen Shanlin choked.
He really doesn't care where he lives.
But Zhao Caifeng would definitely not agree.
Chen Jiadong was so angry that he was shaking. He scolded Jiang Shiyue: "How can you be so shameless? Why don't you give up your room to us?"
"Why did the old man give the room to your family?" Jiang Shiyue asked instead of answering.
"Of course, it's because my parents are getting married and need a new..." house. Chen Jiadong realized what was happening and shut up.
Now Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue also want a house to build their new home.
"Yes!" Jiang Shiyue smiled brightly, very satisfied with Chen Jiadong's answer. "Now that Chen Shanhe and I are getting married, it's not too much to need two rooms as our wedding room, right?"
"Then where will I live after I get married?" Chen Jiadong asked unwillingly.
"What does it have to do with me? You have a father and a mother, so it shouldn't be my turn as an aunt to buy a wedding house, right? Besides, from what I heard from the old man just now, the family you like with such high standards probably wouldn't want to marry into a family and suffer a loss. Otherwise, why don't you become a son-in-law? Maybe you can even get an apartment to live in, or at least a brick house to live in, right?"
"You..." Chen Jiadong pointed at Jiang Shiyue and was about to curse.
"What do you mean by 'I'? I haven't finished yet! It's rude to interrupt others, understand? You just said that the Chen family is very poor, and the old man is paralyzed in bed and has no income and needs to be taken care of and supported. If your grandson can't find a wife because of this, then Chen Shanhe, as your biological son, will be even more difficult to find a wife?"
Jiang Shiyue said this and looked at Chen Shanhe with a smile, obviously seeking approval.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
Can't refute but also can't agree.
I just don’t understand Jiang Shiyue’s intention and it’s not right to speak rashly.
"Isn't it hard to find a wife as smart and beautiful as me even with a lantern?" Jiang Shiyue looked at Chen Shanhe and asked, not allowing him to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Chen Shanhe could only nod, "You're right!"
Chen Jiadong really wanted to scold Jiang Shiyue for being shameless, but there was no doubt that Jiang Shiyue was beautiful.
Chen Dingguo made the final decision, "Alright! Stop arguing. These two main rooms will be given to Shanhe and Shiyue as their wedding rooms. I can still make this decision."
"Grandpa!" Chen Jiadong stomped his feet unwillingly.
"Thank you, old man." Jiang Shiyue thanked him with a smile, "But, old man, you have seen that your unfilial grandson is always thinking about your two rooms. In order to avoid trouble in the future, how about this, tomorrow we invite someone prominent in the production team to come over as a witness and sign a written agreement."
"Sister-in-law, you passed!" Chen Shanlin couldn't help but speak.
Their family of three occupied three main rooms, and the neighbors all gossiped about them.
If Jiang Shiyue really asked the village cadres to come and sign a document, would the Chen family still have the nerve to stay in the production team?
Chen Shanhe frowned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Jiang Shiyue was trying to do.
Jiang Shiyue obviously hasn't returned to his first personality yet.
Jiang Shiyue, in his first personality, looked down upon the few dilapidated earthen houses in their family.
In fact, Jiang Shiyue’s second personality should also look down on it.
But what was she trying to do by being so aggressive and grabbing two rooms?
It is true that women’s hearts are as unfathomable as the sea.
Jiang Shiyue turned to Chen Dingguo and asked, "Grandpa, am I going too far?"
Chen Dingguo shook his head and sighed, "You are really thoughtful."
A dinner that was supposed to include wine and meat ended in a bad mood.
Jiang Shiyue, the only happy one, was very generous and heated up the remaining skewers of meat and sent them to the old man's room along with the wine jug.
Wu Xiu'e took it with a forced smile, and as soon as Jiang Shiyue left, she slammed the door shut and said angrily, "I was thinking I'd find a good wife. I didn't expect she'd be just like Zhao Caifeng, only interested in our two old houses."
The old man motioned Wu Xiu'e to help him up, "Bring me the skewers and the wine. You're not full, are you? Come, let's talk while we eat."
"I'm not as careless as you. I can't eat it." Wu Xiu'e complained and stuffed a pillow behind Chen Dingguo's back. She also moved the small kang table that Chen Dingguo usually used for eating and placed it in front of him. She then brought the meat skewers and the wine pot and poured him a glass of wine.
"You'll just eat one meal less, why do you think so much?" Chen Dingguo took a sip of white wine and grimaced because of the spiciness.
"Yes, we're getting less food. But even if we have less, it's not something we can just close our eyes and never open again. My sons have taken all five main rooms and put us in this side room. What about when my grandson gets married? Will they drive us out to the street and let us starve to death?"
