Chapter 136: Come here to be pitiful
"I don't know either……"
She really didn't know.
It was inconvenient back then because communications were not well developed. In modern times, if there was anything, you could just make a phone call or send a text message. Even if you couldn’t come back, you could still video chat.
“Work is important!”
Li Cuifen quickly patted her daughter's hand, "Wangjing is a capable person!"
"Um……"
Jiang Anan nodded slightly, but the image of Xu Wangjing easily flying in from outside the wall appeared in her mind again.
For some reason, she always felt that Xu Wangjing might be more than just the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau.
"I don't know what happened to your second brother..."
Li Cuifen suddenly sighed.
Hearing this, Jiang Anan also became a little curious.
Before, Xu Wangjing took Jiang Xiaoqiang away. According to the eldest sister-in-law, he arranged a job for him. What exactly was the arrangement like?
Doubtful.
"Mom, since Wangjing took him away, it should be fine."
Jiang Anan responded.
You can rest assured about this.
"Mom is hoping that your second brother can come to his senses..."
Li Cuifen was mumbling, and when she thought about what happened to her second son last time, she felt sad.
What a sin!
"It's okay, mom. I'm sure my second brother will be able to get over it."
Jiang Anan comforted her.
Li Cuifen smiled, "Fortunately, the man was caught, so Xiaoqiang doesn't have to feel so depressed! Let's not say these depressing words during the New Year. Are you hungry? Mom will make you some sweet and sour pork to fill your stomach first!"
After saying that, she quickly went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Jiang Anan wanted to go in to help, but was kicked out.
"You're pregnant, aren't you afraid of getting yourself wet? You're not needed here! You and your sister-in-law can play with Xiaohua for a while, and you'll be ready to eat soon!"
Helplessly, Jiang Anan had to play with her tiny niece.
Soon, a large plate of sweet and sour pork was served. Jiang Anan was so tempted by the smell that she picked up a piece and chewed it. It was so delicious.
"Mom, you are really good at cooking!"
Since her family's conditions improved, she has become more aware of Jiang's mother's culinary talent.
The dishes are comparable to those in state-owned restaurants.
"Just eat it. Mom's cooking skills are just so-so. Just eat it if you like it! There's still a lot of meat in the kitchen. You can eat sweet and sour pork every day for the whole first month of the year!"
Li Cuifen joked.
"Okay! Then I'll buy some meat and send it to you so you can make sweet and sour pork for me!"
Jiang Anan responded immediately.
Jiang Mu's pot-wrapped pork is sprayed with vinegar and is delicious and not greasy. She thinks it is good enough to open a restaurant.
"You kid!"
Li Cuifen muttered to herself, but she was very happy in her heart.
Life at home is getting better and better. In the past, we never dared to think about eating meat every day. We could only eat it once or twice a year!
But now, I can’t even finish all the meat!
It's like a dream...
On the other side, the old house of the Jiang family.
Old Mrs. Jiang entered the kitchen and saw only vegetables. She was so angry that she ran into the main room and smashed her crutches.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Jiang Dequan came out.
"Go take a look in the kitchen yourself. Today is the day for the New Year's Eve dinner, and you haven't bought a single piece of meat at home?!"
Spit flying everywhere.
Jiang Dequan wiped his face and took two steps back.
"Mom, how would I know..."
"You don't know? Then how do you know how to eat?" Old Mrs. Jiang wanted to hit him with her cane, "It's New Year's Day, and I, your mother, can't even eat meat oil?"
The more he cursed, the louder he got.
Jiang Dequan pouted, "Mom, why are you asking me? These vegetables were bought by me and my wife. What did Jiang Dezheng buy?"
At this point, he shouted towards the west wing: "Jiang Dezheng, Mom is calling you! Come over now!"
"What are you doing?!"
Jiang Dezheng walked over with a dark face.
"Mom asked you why you didn't buy meat!" Jiang Dequan rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Dezheng was stunned, "Why didn't I buy meat? Jiang Dequan, you are so shameless, did you buy meat?"
Roaring.
"It's not that my family is short of money. My daughter is already in jail, so how can we have money to buy meat?"
Jiang Dequan got angry when he talked about this.
"Oh! You make it sound like you gave Jiang Xiaoting a lot of money. You still don't know where she is being held, right? Why are you pretending?
How much did the village chief give your family as a dowry? You are crying poor here. I am poorer than you! I won't buy any meat!"
The two of them became more and more angry as they talked, and even started pushing each other.
Old Mrs. Jiang was almost out of breath after watching so much.
"Alright, alright! It's New Year's Day, and we're going to let others hear us quarreling here. Just to sound good, right?!"
After being hit by the cane, Jiang Dequan and Jiang Dezheng shut up.
"Mom, I don't have money to buy meat anyway..."
Jiang Dequan looked unhappy.
Jiang Dezheng's face was not much better. "Mom, I have even less money. Your two grandsons said they wanted to start a business and they want money from me all day long. I don't know what to do now. I really want to die!"
After saying that, he squatted down, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her two sons and felt heartbroken!
She hasn't even divided the family yet, and already the two brothers have become like this!
"Is our family really so poor that we can't afford a meal of meat?!"
Jiang Dequan and Jiang Dezheng looked at each other and they didn't like each other.
"I don't have money to buy meat anyway!"
"I don't have any money either!"
in unison.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she kept beating her chest.
"You guys are still trying to deceive me. You said you had no money to buy meat, but you had enough money to buy clothes for yourself!"
The two sons are wearing new clothes that were just made!
What about her?
She is an old lady who is the head of the household, with patches all over her body, looking like she has no son to support her!
Neither Jiang Dequan nor Jiang Dezheng spoke a word.
Why should they pay for the meat and share it with everyone? Can't they keep the money for themselves?
As for Old Mrs. Jiang who was beating her chest, they ignored her completely.
"Okay, okay! I'm leaving! I don't have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she walked out of the house on crutches.
I thought my two sons would follow me out, but when I turned around, the door was closed.
“Cough cough cough!”
Old Mrs. Jiang almost fainted from anger.
Walking in the village and smelling the fragrance of food from every household, she burst into tears.
At this age, on New Year’s Day, she can’t even afford a meal of meat?
My stomach is growling with hunger.
But she suddenly thought of a place where she could eat meat!
——
Jiang Anan ate several pieces of sweet and sour pork, then stopped eating quickly because she had to save food for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
"You have such a small stomach, I don't even know if the baby in your belly can be full!"
Li Cuifen sighed.
Jiang Anan was about to respond when she heard shouting from outside.
Thinking that someone from the village was visiting, she went over to open the door, but who would have thought that the person she saw was actually Old Lady Jiang...
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Anan had a cold face.
Seeing that it was Jiang Anan, Mrs. Jiang secretly felt bad, but she still put on a smile, "Anan, Happy New Year! I haven't seen you for a long time. You look a lot plumper now!"
"Just tell me what you have to say."
Jiang Anan didn't want to waste time talking to her.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang felt a lump in her throat.
But when he smelled the meat coming from inside, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and hurriedly said:
"What are you guys doing for New Year's Eve dinner? Grandma thought about it and realized that she hasn't had a meal with you guys in these years. This year, she plans to eat with you guys!"
As she said this, she was about to squeeze in.
Jiang Anan reached out to stop him.
"No, you and your two sons can go eat."
After saying that, she was about to close the door.
When Old Mrs. Jiang heard this, she burst into tears, still holding her hand against the door.
"An An, you don't know that your two uncles are so heartless! They didn't even let your grandma eat a bite of meat during the New Year. Look at your grandma, she's so old, how many meals can she eat meat?"
Selling miserably.
But Jiang Anan remained calm.
Old Mrs. Jiang got really angry now. She started crying and making a fuss, and she insisted on going in, refusing to give up until she got the meat.
Jiang Anan was speechless. She was just thinking about calling Jiang's mother and sister-in-law to come out and chase them away, but she didn't expect to see...
