Chapter 206: No gain, no early rise



When she thought about how much money she would be able to make in the future, the smile on Mrs. Zhao's face deepened.

Next, she asked about the other people in the family. When she asked what her younger brothers and sisters did, Jiang Cheng was about to answer truthfully, but Sister Mengmeng beat him to the question.

"His brother is a junior high school teacher, and his sister-in-law and I are colleagues!"

Although Jiang Cheng didn't know why Meng Meng lied, he knew that she must have her reasons for saying that.

After understanding the situation clearly, Mrs. Zhao was still a little disappointed. She was disappointed why there were no rich people or children from wealthy families in Jiangcheng.

If this sister-in-law could hook up with a rich man, she might be able to rise rapidly in the world, live in the city in the future, and live a life of luxury.

Although he is not a rich man, he is very satisfactory to be her sister-in-law, so she must ask him for a large dowry.

"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go cook for you!"

I will coax you first and make you feel comfortable, then you can give me the betrothal gift obediently.

After walking a few steps, she turned back, squeezed through the space between Mengmeng and Mother Zhao, and entered Mother Zhao's room.

"I'll put these things away first. There's not much space here and they'll take up too much space!"

She used this name to embezzle all the things Jiang Cheng brought.

Mengmeng knew that once these things were in her sister-in-law's pocket, they would never come out again, and her mother and Xiaoyi would never be able to get them either.

She stood up and stopped Mrs. Zhao, snatching away the health products and fruits.

"Those cigarettes, alcohol and tea are for you and your brother. These are for my mother!"

If you don't fight, you will only suffer losses.

Mrs. Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly. If Jiang Cheng hadn't been here, she would have lost her temper long ago.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. I was still counting on this girl to earn her a dowry!

"All right, all right!"

She said these words with gritted teeth and reluctantly, and left with only cigarettes, alcohol and tea.

"Mom, keep these and eat them for your body!" Meng Meng specifically instructed Mother Zhao.

"Okay, I get it!" Mother Zhao looked at her daughter with satisfaction.

Then, Mengmeng took out an apple and broke off a banana and gave them to her son.

"Eat it, baby!"

Xiaoyi rarely gets to eat these fruits, and he can't put them down once he gets them.

"Remember to wash apples before eating them!"

"good!"

Jiang Cheng asked his doubts only after Mrs. Zhao left.

"Why don't you tell the truth to your sister-in-law?"

Meng Meng heard this, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and made sure that her sister-in-law couldn't hear her before she began to explain.

"My sister-in-law is a person who never does anything without profit. She is very ambitious and only thinks about how to get money. If you tell her the truth, you don't know how she will extort money from you in the future!"

She knew her sister-in-law too well, so she didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Man and the others.

Her concerns were correct. Jiang Cheng understood the reason and realized even more that the woman in front of him was really doing this for his own good.

More than an hour later, Mengmeng's brother came back carrying a hoe. He was a man in his thirties, his skin was tanned black, and his trousers and legs were covered in mud.

When he saw his sister coming back, he didn't say anything. As for Jiang Cheng, his attitude was similar to that of Sister Zhao at the beginning.

To him, his sister was a jinx. She became a widow at such a young age, and brought a little beast back to live and eat at her parents' house, and even refused to remarry.

However, after he went to the kitchen, his attitude changed immediately. He directly unpacked the Hongtashan cigarettes that Jiang Cheng brought, and then gave them to Jiang Cheng to smoke.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, if he had known that this brother and sister-in-law were of such character, he should have turned the tobacco, alcohol and tea into rotten goods in the factory instead of giving them away cheaply.

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family is really stingy and has no idea how to entertain guests. When the meal was served, there was not a single bit of meat or fish on the table, it was all vegetarian.

It’s either stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, or pickled mustard.

But Jiang Cheng endured it all. In order to marry Meng Meng, he didn't care about any of this.

This meal is really hard to swallow, and Zhao's sister-in-law is still crying.

"Jiang Cheng, our family is poor and we don't have anything good to treat you, so please don't be dissatisfied!"

However, Jiang Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family became more and more aggressive and continued her performance and crying.

"You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you become the head of a household. These days, in the countryside, everyone is short of food. If the harvest is bad, you'll have to go hungry the next year. We have a small family and a small piece of land, but we have to feed two more people. Over the years, the expenses are really huge!"

"But I send thirty yuan back every month, it's more than enough to feed Xiaoyi!

Besides, this is Jiang Cheng's first time coming to our house, and he didn't even buy some meat. That's not right!"

Mengmeng is not the kind of person who would swallow everything. She works hard just to ensure that her children have food to eat. In the countryside, 30 yuan a month for living expenses is definitely not enough to spend, and 20 out of 30 goes into her sister-in-law's pocket.

"You are a married woman. When your husband dies, you go back to your parents' home and live and eat for free. If you were alone, it would be fine, but you have a baby to take care of. The baby eats a lot, and the mother needs to eat too. You think it's easy to raise him? I raise your child, so what's wrong with you sending some money back every month? Are you not happy?"

Mengmeng's brother has a bad temper. He gets annoyed when he hears his sister talking about money.

It costs a lot of money for his son to go to junior high school. Living expenses, tuition and miscellaneous fees, which one doesn’t cost money?

He also complained that the amount he sent back every month was too little, and he didn't know how much this girl had saved secretly.

This kind of person is like this, he never knows how to be satisfied.

Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to watch Meng Meng being bullied. He looked unhappy and put down his chopsticks to argue with Meng Meng's brother.

"How much can a nine-year-old child eat? How much rice and meat can he buy with 30 yuan a month?

Besides, Mengmeng is not at home all year round, and she can't eat much from you. And there is auntie, she is not Mengmeng's mother alone, and it is your responsibility as a son to take care of her in her old age. It is said that raising children is a way to prepare for old age. She raised you when you were young, so you should take care of her in her old age. If Mengmeng was not there, you would not take care of her, and your life would not be able to go on?"

Jiang Cheng was not polite either. He said everything he was unhappy about at once. It was because of his defense in every word that Xiao Yi looked at him with such surprise. ..

This uncle seems to be really different from others!

The eldest brother of the Zhao family also had a bad temper. Seeing Jiang Cheng's attitude, he slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"What are you rushing for? I told you that the household registration booklet is with me. If you want to marry her, you still need my approval!"
