Chapter 323 A high profile
Aunt Jiang was stunned for a moment, and seeing the peaceful smile on her sister-in-law's face, without the slightest sadness and boredom of the past, she couldn't help but say: "If only we could have found her a few years earlier, maybe Xiu'er would be alive and well."
Old Lady Jiang glanced at her and said, "Everyone has their own life trajectory. We gave birth to Xiu'er and raised her up. The rest of the way is her own choice. No matter how hard or tiring it is, she has to grit her teeth and go on. She has completed her life. Little sister, don't mention her all the time.
Everyone knows that you used to be jealous of her good looks and she stole your glory, and now you want to compete with me for a good boy?" She looked at the girl next to Jiang Sanmei who was about the same age as An Zhixia.
"Is Tingting going to get engaged too?"
Mother Jiang quietly introduced them to An Zhixia, An Zhiqiu and Fang Hongye: "That is your grandfather's father's concubine, that is your grandfather's half-brother... this one is your great aunt, but she is much older than your grandfather, only six years older than your mother.
She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The daughter is the same age as Xia Xia and her name is Ling Zhiting. You have to call her cousin..."
Ling Zhiting is 60% similar to her mother, with an oval face, big eyes and a straight nose. She is not very tall but petite and delicate, a rare and pretty beauty.
But compared with An Zhixia, she looks like a beautiful girl next door.
Aunt Jiang's face was not very good when someone said what she was thinking, but when she heard her daughter mentioned, she smiled again: "Yes, our Tingting is already 19 years old in a blink of an eye. She started dating last year. He is handsome, a top student, and has a good family background.
These are still secondary. He really cares about our daughter Tingting. He drives her to get off work every day and takes her out for dinner and shopping from time to time. Young people like romance, and we are all behind.
Hey, Zhixia, don't you work at a TV station? Your station has reported on him before. He is the deputy director of the finance department of Xiahua Daily. You are all in the same system, so you should have heard of him. Competition in the newspaper is fierce. We are very pleased that he can achieve success in his early twenties. Don't you agree, sister-in-law?"
An Zhixia smiled and said, "I've only been here for about a month, and I've been busy with my work, so I didn't really notice it."
"You girls are always focusing on makeup and dressing up, so it's no wonder you didn't notice it," Aunt Jiang pouted and asked excitedly, "I heard that your boyfriend is from the transport team? The employees there are all big and strong, and they get promoted by force. With your weak body, can you bear it?"
Uncle Jiang, with a beer belly, said, "Brother and sister-in-law, you can't let the children do whatever they want without their parents to help check on them. It's ok for the brother to marry a girl from the village, but you didn't recognize them at that time. But why did the sister marry a rough man from the transport team?
Zhixia is pretty, so it's not difficult for her to marry into the families in Kyoto that have the final say. Look at our Tingting's future husband's family, they are the boss of the grocery store! In the future, they will have no worries about food and drink, they will have cars when they go out and come home, and they will live in a two-story house with a courtyard like yours.
If Zhixia marries an employee of the transport team, won’t she have to live in a tube-shaped building where it’s hard to even put her feet down?”
Ling Zhiting smiled shyly while pursing her lips and said, "Comrade Han Dongyi said that he is the only son in the family, and the house and car will belong to the two of us in the future. So the betrothal gifts and the bride price are just a formality."
"Xiao Han is very polite," Aunt Jiang immediately took over the conversation and praised, "He gave 1,888 as a betrothal gift, and also gave a large color TV and a motorcycle to each of his two brothers-in-law. The betrothal gift was even more extraordinary, 9,999, saying that the couple would be together forever, and all those small things like sewing machines, tape recorders, and watches were also prepared.
There aren't many people in Kyoto who are so straightforward, right? I'm just telling my close relatives a few words, don't spread the word, or else someone will accuse us of something, and no one in our family will be able to escape."
Listening to Aunt Jiang's family talking one after another and showing off by stepping on them, An Zhixia and An Zhiqiu looked at each other and finally understood why Aunt Jiang and Mother Jiang had given them a shot of prevention last night.
An Zhixia couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, wasn't our family a wealthy family before? Why is it that Grandma is praising 10,000 yuan to the sky?"
The Jiang family couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her sister-in-law's twisted face and said, "Maybe she hasn't lived a happy life in the past twenty years. She has forgotten her previous life and has become petty and greedy for money."
"Sister-in-law!" Aunt Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Our family used to be quite rich, but later all the money was donated by my brother. How much do you have left? Relying on a salary of two or three hundred yuan a month, you are living in poverty, right?
An Zhixia, have you ever seen how much 10,000 yuan is? If you can't earn it in this lifetime, you can only be jealous and flatter yourself! Your ability to choose men is really not worth complimenting. "
An Zhixia sneered and said, "Ten thousand yuan is really not a lot of money, aunt, I make about this much every month writing programs for the performance troupe."
"You are talking nonsense!" Aunt Jiang rejected it directly: "You are so young, you can't lie just for vanity."
"If my future cousin-in-law works at a newspaper, he should have heard of my name," An Zhixia raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm the director of the Spring Performance Group Competition, and I was praised by the top leader and personally appointed as the director of the TV station's overseas channel, but I don't have the word deputy.
By the way, I was promoted to deputy director of the TV station last week. You can check all these one by one.
We have two cars sponsored to me in our station, and we also have several houses. Tsk, tsk, I really don't know how 10,000 yuan can be regarded as a sky-high price? Especially since our Jiang family used to be a big player in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. "
Old Master Jiang threw the newspaper in his hand forward and said, "I still have this issue. Look how good our Xia Xia is in the photo. On the left is the top leader, and on the right is the second-in-command. This is a newspaper that can be read all over the country. You can't say that we are bluffing you, right?
Or you can write down the name of the newspaper and the date and check with someone else?"
Everyone gathered around and stared with wide eyes, looking at the newspaper and the real person, they just felt that the world was a little too fantastic.
Aunt Jiang asked Mother Jiang with some difficulty: "Didn't you say on the phone that both of them lost their parents, suffered a lot when they were young, and even went to the countryside as educated youth?"
"That's the truth," Jiang's mother nodded. "We have always been very low-key in our work and life. Isn't it okay to just keep quiet and get promoted and make a fortune? There's no need to shout it out for the whole world to know, right?"
Aunt Jiang's family, who had just felt so superior, stood dejectedly on the sidelines, unable to accept that a wild chicken had become a real phoenix. They could only cheer themselves up and wait to see An Zhixia's burly man from the transport team.
