Jiang Yuancheng looked directly into Mrs. Jiang's eyes and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want you, it's you who forced me to make a choice."
"You...you..." Mrs. Jiang didn't utter a word in rebuttal for a long time. Her face turned red, and she was obviously very angry with her son.
"Yuancheng, talk to your mother nicely." Although Brother Jiang didn't like Sister-in-law Jiang's series of behaviors, he also felt that what his son said was a bit too much.
But Jiang Yuancheng is also stubborn. "Dad, I want to talk to you nicely, but Mom has to give me a chance. I didn't bring Wang Yan back today to let her suffer any injustice."
Mrs. Jiang looked at him in disbelief: "She can't stand being wronged, so you let your mother be wronged, right?"
"Mom!" Jiang Yuancheng was helpless. When did he let her suffer any injustice? This was obviously not the same thing. Besides, if his mother hadn't started the trouble first, would this have happened?
Jiang Che and Wei Xuan were not in a position to express their opinions on such matters. In fact, not to mention the two of them, even Jiang's father and mother were not in a position to say much. It was true that Jiang Yuancheng was their grandson, but he was also Jiang Dasao's son. As a mother, she wanted to interfere in her son's marriage. What else could outsiders say?
At most, you can give a few words of advice.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, Jiang's father, the head of the family, spoke up: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now." He looked at Wang Yan: "This is the first time you come home today and this happened. I'm really embarrassed to let you go out for a walk first, and come back for lunch later, okay?"
...
...
Wang Yan was stunned from the moment Mrs. Jiang said no, her eyes were red, and she bit her lips tightly to stop herself from crying. If Jiang Yuancheng hadn't been holding her, she would have gotten up and left. Of course, she couldn't refuse Jiang's father's suggestion. It would be nice to go out for a walk. If she stayed here any longer, she was really afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.
Jiang Yuancheng knew that Wang Yan would feel uncomfortable staying there after encountering such a thing, so he said hello to everyone and took Wang Yan away from the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang was very unhappy to see her son leaving, but under the intimidation of her parents-in-law's eyes, she didn't say anything in the end.
Wei Xuan guessed that they would never come back after they went out, and sure enough, until after dinner, there was no sign of them.
Wei Xuan and her two children were used to taking naps, and she wanted to go home directly after dinner, but Jiang's father asked her to stay.
It seemed that her father-in-law had something to say, so Wei Xuan didn't want to mention going home anymore.
Adults can tolerate dozing off, but children cannot. After dinner, their round eyelids tend to droop slowly, and Yuanlang also started to hum and make a fuss in his sleep.
Seeing this, Jiang's mother said, "Xiaoxuan, take the child to sleep in my and your father's room."
"Okay." Wei Xuan knew that what they were going to talk about now was Jiang Yuancheng's matter. It didn't matter whether she was there or not. Besides, she loved her children, so she agreed with Jiang's mother's words, picked up her son and took her daughter back to the house.
Obviously, both children were very sleepy. They fell asleep as soon as Wei Xuan put them in the bed without any coaxing. When Wei Xuan returned to the main room again, she saw Mrs. Jiang sitting on a chair wiping her tears.
As soon as Wei Xuan sat down next to Jiang Che, she heard Brother Jiang say impatiently, "What are you fussing about? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. What can you do if you are not satisfied with the wife he chose? Do you think you will be happy only if you break them up and make him resent you as a mother in the future?"
Jiang's mother also advised: "Yes, eldest brother's wife, the eldest brother is right. You see, I didn't interfere when you married the eldest brother, and you are living well. Yuancheng has grown up and has his own ideas."
Jiang's mother's words could not convince Jiang's wife. She thought that she had good conditions. Although she could not compare with the Jiang family, it has always been the case that rich families marry daughters and poor families marry wives. So she was considered a good match for the Jiang family.
When I wanted to marry Wei Xuan, didn't my mother-in-law disagree? She even went to the hospital to make a scene. But now she is trying to persuade her. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say these words? This is a typical example of not feeling pain unless something happens to you. It's just a nice way of saying things.
It is said that the eldest son and the eldest grandson are the treasures of the old lady. Humph, the old son is a treasure in her eyes, what is Jiang Yuancheng, the eldest grandson? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The words that Jiang Dasao said were a bit reckless.
"Mom, I thought you were the one who understood me the most. After all, weren't you unwilling when my younger brother wanted to marry my younger brother's wife? You were so angry that you were hospitalized. How come you have thought it through now regarding your grandson's marriage and are even trying to persuade me instead?"
Wei Xuan didn't expect that eating a melon would end up on her head. Her eyes, which had been squinting due to sleepiness, suddenly widened a little, and she looked at Jiang Che with a questioning look.
What does this mean? Why is there such a thing? She has never heard him mention it before.
Jiang Che felt a little embarrassed when his wife stared at him. He coughed twice and whispered, "I'll tell you when I get back."
Wei Xuan's eyes conveyed the meaning of "I'll settle the score with you when I get back", and then she didn't say anything else.
The current atmosphere really did not allow her to interfere any more. Mrs. Jiang was probably feeling a little aggrieved, so the tone of her words carried a hint of sarcasm towards Mother Jiang.
Jiang's mother was exposed by her past, and she was immediately ashamed and angry. "Are you blaming me for not paying attention to Yuan Cheng and not caring about what kind of wife she marries?"
The daughter-in-law is still sitting here. Let's not talk about what she would think when she heard this. After so many years, the previous prejudices have long gone. She is only satisfied with Wei Xuan now. Otherwise, she would not have no objection to her grandson marrying a rural girl.
It was because of the two living examples of Wei Xuan and Jiang Che that she changed her mind.
The words she used to persuade Mrs. Jiang were indeed her true thoughts at the moment. Otherwise, Mrs. Jiang was really overthinking. Jiang Yuancheng was Jiang's mother's grandson. Could she harm him?
All I can say is that Mrs. Jiang has been provoked by her own son and is now a little extreme.
The more she tried to persuade him, the more he got stuck in a dead end. Jiang's mother was pushed back by her and had no intention of persuading him anymore: "Forget it, think whatever you want. As long as you are not afraid that your own son will become alienated from you, just continue to do what you said." After saying that, she stood up and left the main room.
This grandson was someone she had watched grow up. How could she not see what the child was thinking? Seeing how he treated Wang Yan today, she knew that the child really liked the girl and took her to heart. She didn't know what the final result would be if the eldest daughter-in-law quarreled with him, but it was definitely not what the eldest daughter-in-law wanted.
Mrs. Jiang, however, disagreed with her mother-in-law's words. She felt that Wang Yan must have bewitched her son, and as long as she disagreed, the two would definitely separate over time.
After her mother-in-law left, Wei Xuan wondered whether she should follow her. After thinking about it, she decided to follow her mother-in-law.
After all, with Mrs. Jiang's current mentality, she couldn't persuade her even if she was here. She was sure that if she dared to say anything, Mrs. Jiang would definitely think that she was laughing at her, and might even hold a grudge against her for it. She would never do such a thankless task.
My mother-in-law had just been exposed by Mrs. Jiang about her past. In order to avoid embarrassment when they meet in the future, it would be better to explain it to her now.
When Wei Xuan pushed open the door, Jiang's mother was leaning on the bed in a daze, probably still brooding over what Jiang's sister-in-law had said.
Seeing Wei Xuan coming over, she immediately adjusted her expression and said, "You're here."
"Well, I'll come in to see the child." Fearing that her mother-in-law would feel uncomfortable, Wei Xuan chose a light-hearted beginning.
Sure enough, once the topic of children came up, the invisible awkward atmosphere between the two eased a little.
"I guess I still need to sleep."
Wei Xuan sat down at the end of the bed, glanced at the two children who were sleeping soundly, and touched their foreheads and little hands to make sure they were neither hot nor cold. Then she retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang's mother.
"Mom, don't take my sister-in-law's words too seriously. She thinks too highly of Yuan Cheng, which is why she said those words without restraint."
Mother Jiang smiled and sighed softly, "Actually, I can understand her feelings. She is right. When Xiao Che said he wanted to marry you, I did not agree. But as a mother, how can I persuade my child? He insisted on marrying you, so I had to agree. It is impossible to say that I didn't have any objections to you at the beginning, but after all these years, those reluctances are long gone. You are a good child. Your father and I have seen it. It is a blessing for Jiang Che to marry you, and it is also a blessing for our Jiang family."
Jiang's mother's words were from the bottom of her heart, and even Wei Xuan was deeply touched after hearing them.
"Mom, I did what I should do. It's not as good as you say. I'm lucky to marry Jiang Che and have you as my mother-in-law. You and Dad have always tolerated me and Jiang Che. I really thank you." Although these words sounded a bit corny and a bit like flattery, Wei Xuan really thought so in her heart.
Before she married Jiang Che, she could tell that her mother-in-law didn't like her very much. This was normal as there was a big gap between the two families. She knew very well that she was not the ideal daughter-in-law in Jiang's mother's mind. But since she got married, Jiang's mother didn't do anything bad to her, nor did she criticize her with words. Instead, she introduced her to a job and tried her best to subsidize her and Jiang Che's small family.
Such a mother-in-law is not rare in the world, but she is indeed worthy of Wei Xuan's respect.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked openly, and they became closer to each other. But when they talked about Jiang Yuancheng's marriage, Jiang's mother looked worried again.
"Although I don't know much about this little girl Wang Yan, but Yuan Cheng likes her, so I think she won't be bad. With your sister-in-law's temper, I think there's still some time for the two of them to work it out."
Wei Xuan couldn't comment too much on her sister-in-law, so she could only comfort her mother-in-law as much as possible: "Didn't you just say that mothers can't persuade their children? As long as Yuan Cheng insists on getting married, my sister-in-law will definitely agree in the end."
"Well, I hope so," thinking of her eldest daughter-in-law's temper, Jiang's mother felt that things would not be solved so easily.
In fact, Wei Xuan also felt so, but in front of her mother-in-law, she didn't want to add fuel to the fire and make her upset.
Mrs. Jiang is different from her mother. Her mother can treat her disliked daughter-in-law rationally, but Mrs. Jiang may not be able to do so.
What Jiang's mother was worried about was not only whether her grandson could finally marry Wang Yan as he wished. This was only one aspect. She knew the eldest daughter-in-law too well. Even if she agreed to Yuan Cheng marrying Wang Yan, she would definitely be unwilling to do so. If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not live in peace, Jiang Yuancheng would definitely be the one who would be in the most difficult situation in the middle. How could she not feel sorry for her grandson? But the eldest daughter-in-law was unreasonable. This was a knot that could not be untied.
The two chatted in the room for a while, and the conversation in the main room also ended.
Jiang Che opened the door and came in: "You haven't woken up yet?"
"No." Wei Xuan checked the time: "It should be soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the numb Jiang Yuanlang opened his eyes. Wei Xuan saw his dazed look and quickly picked him up. She touched his diaper and found it was still dry. She handed it to Jiang Che and said, "Take him outside and let him pee."
"There's a bucket in the house."
Wei Xuan rejected her mother-in-law's kindness: "Let's go outside."
"Children are not dirty."
Wei Xuan smiled and didn't respond. At this time, Yuanyuan also turned over.
Wei Xuan took a closer look. The little girl's eyes were still closed. It was not until Jiang Che came in with his son in his arms that she probably heard the noise and sat up from her bed and rubbed her eyes: "Mom."
"Yeah." Wei Xuan leaned over and touched her head: "Did you sleep well? Mommy will comb your hair again."
She nodded and turned her back to Wei Xuan.
By the time Wei Xuan helped her comb her hair, Yuanyuan was completely awake.
Nothing happened, so Jiang Che and Wei Xuan prepared to take the children home. Jiang's mother wanted to keep them for dinner, but Jiang Che said they had to go to the store for something later, so Jiang's mother let them go.
As they walked along the road, Wei Xuan asked him, "Are you still going to the company?"
"No, what about you?"
"I'm not going either."
"Then go home."
Section 124
Wei Xuan laughed: "Go back." Seeing how he spoke to her mother-in-law in a very detailed manner just now, she really thought he was going to the store for something.
After returning home, Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to boil water. Liu Ying was away during this period. Her son was taking the college entrance examination this year, so Wei Xuan gave her a month off. After boiling the water, Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che if the discussion in the main hall had come to a conclusion after she left.
"No," Jiang Che replied to Wei Xuan nonchalantly while teasing his son, "My sister-in-law is determined not to recognize that little girl as her daughter-in-law. No matter what I say, it's useless."
"Yes, but Yuan Cheng was also wrong in today's incident. As a son, doesn't he know what his mother is like? He rashly brought the girl home and suddenly said he wanted to get married, which made the girl very embarrassed. By the way, speaking of this, I haven't asked you yet, what did your sister-in-law say about your mother being so angry with you that she had to be hospitalized?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Che almost choked on his own saliva, but under the threat of Wei Xuan's eyes, he still honestly told the whole story from beginning to end.
"It's been a long time since this happened. My sister-in-law just likes to stir up trouble and spread trivial things." He looked at Wei Xuan carefully and said, "Wife, you won't be angry, will you?"
Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Am I so petty?" She just didn't expect that her mother-in-law would go to such lengths to stop her from being with Jiang Che, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide.
I really can't tell that my mother-in-law is someone who would do such a thing. After all, when she first met the Jiang family, although she could feel from her mother-in-law's indifferent attitude that she didn't like her very much, she was really good at pretending. She never embarrassed her at all. It turned out that there were so many things that happened in private that she didn't know about.
What happened in the Jiang family was just a small episode in life, and Wei Xuan soon turned her attention to business.
This batch of goods shipped out of the factory sold very well. From the next day until the Dragon Boat Festival, people kept calling to request goods.
Unfortunately, the factory's production volume never kept up, and in the end there was no stock left to ship.
However, Wei Xuan was already very satisfied with the result.
"Our factory has gained some reputation this time, which is great. Now that we have taken the first step, the rest will be much easier."
Zheng Yi was also surprised by the continuous flow of orders in the past few days. He asked Wei Xuan: "Boss, will we resume the day shift next month?"
You know, they don't have any goods in their warehouse now, but people are still calling the factory to place orders. If they resume the day shift, the production volume will inevitably be discounted, so the losses will be greater.
"We'll stick to the original plan." Wei Xuan said, "Even though we have a lot of orders now, there will definitely be a cliff-like decline after the Dragon Boat Festival." The most important thing is that after nearly two months of high-intensity work, everyone is more or less tired. Changing to a one-shift system will allow everyone to relax.
Furthermore, she also had some ideas of hunger marketing. Those retailers previously looked down on them because they were a small factory, but now she wanted to let them know how popular their products are.
How does the saying go? You ignored me before, but now you can’t afford me.
Of course, Wei Xuan is a businessman and he will definitely not act on impulse.
It was not a pleasant feeling to watch the little money she had earned fly away from her eyes. She could not remain indifferent to so much money.
After thinking for a while, she told Zheng Yi: "In this way, if there are customers who place orders again, don't refuse them. Cut the order quantity in half and give them the goods. This will not only ensure that customers do not leave, but also buy time for production, and our pressure will not be so great."
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up: "This is a good way to reduce losses. The boss is really capable."
Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Okay, stop flattering me, you must communicate well with the sales department and make no mistakes."
"I know."
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy."
After Zheng Yi left, Wei Xuan took out the account book given to her by the finance department and started to look at it.
Good, the task was completed in excess. It seems that she can finally breathe a sigh of relief at the food factory for the time being.
The author has something to say:
I was lazy today, so I'll take a little less (*^_^*)
