In the next few days, Jiang Baige spent the day cleaning the new house.
Many old quilts and clothes were sorted and stored in the space, and she cleaned up the house.
Although she was a little tired, she was very happy to see the house after it was cleaned up, and she had already thought about what to do with it in the future.
When they returned home in the afternoon, the old couple of the Jiang family sat in chairs, with some worries in their hearts that made them upset.
When Jiang Baige came back in the afternoon, she saw that her parents looked unhappy, so she asked in confusion.
"Dad and Mom, what's wrong with you? You seem worried."
When Jiang's mother saw her daughter coming back, she quickly gave her half of the bench next to her.
Come back and sit down.
Jiang Baige saw her mother's expression clearly, which seemed unhappy, so she pulled her arm and shook it.
"What's wrong."
When Jiang's mother saw her daughter's smiling face, she hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to tell her daughter.
Jiang Baiyang was quick-witted and ran out of the house.
Said: "Uncle Shen came today. He said that uncle and others went to his place to look for us again. He also said that grandpa was seriously ill and wanted dad to go back to take care of him. He also wanted us to go back with him to fulfill our filial piety."
Seeing that her son had said everything, Jiang's mother just looked at her daughter.
"Don't worry about it, your father and I will take care of it."
He whispered again, "It seems that there is no money over there. They even say something like filial piety. Maybe they are trying to trick us into sending money back."
Jiang Baige understood. She sneered and said, "Filial piety? They said that last time, didn't they? But as soon as Dad returned, he was forced to give them money. They must be using the same trick again this time!"
Father Jiang sighed and said, "But he is my father after all, I can't just ignore him..."
Jiang Baige comforted him, "Dad, don't worry."
"We won't ignore Grandpa, but we can't be fooled by them again."
"How about this, I'll go back with you tomorrow to see how Grandpa's condition is. If he's really seriously ill, we'll find a way. If they're trying to trick us, they can't force you to pay with me here."
"Besides, you are not the only son of Grandpa. Why should you be the only one to do the work?"
Father Jiang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, let's go back early tomorrow morning."
Jiang's mother was a little worried that the father and daughter would be bullied in the past.
None of the families over there are easy to get along with. They are all very selfish.
The next morning, Jiang Baige and her father got up early, had breakfast, and then set off.
They got on the bus, and Jiang's father remained silent the entire way. This time when he returned, he didn't know how the people over there would exploit them again.
He felt the money in his pocket and decided that if they continued to force him to use money and food to feed their dozen people as they did before, he would cut off all ties with them.
If his father is really sick, he will use the money to send him to the hospital for treatment.
When we arrived at the Jiang family's old house, the yard was very quiet. Maybe everyone had gone to work in the morning.
Jiang Baige looked inside from outside the courtyard wall and found that the old man of the Jiang family was sitting in the yard with his legs crossed and smoking. He didn't look sick at all.
A chicken next to him pooped in front of him, so he took his pipe and hit the chicken.
He was still cursing, "You beast, I'll kill you before the New Year."
Seeing that he could still curse the chicken, Jiang Baige thought, as expected! They were deceived after all.
When Mr. Jiang saw that his old father was fine, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. Every time they lied to him like this, he would come back.
They wanted to take their daughter back to the city when suddenly someone spoke behind them.
"Hey, why are you here just now?"
This was the voice of Jiang Baige's great aunt. Jiang Baige turned around and saw that it was indeed her mean and nagging great aunt.
She was holding a basket full of vegetables.
It looks very fresh, probably just pulled out of the ground.
When Jiang's father heard his sister-in-law's tone, he felt a little embarrassed.
He replied, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Dad was sick, so I came back to see him."
The person inside seemed to have heard the sound at the door and had already opened it.
When Old Man Jiang opened the door and saw his second son coming back, his face suddenly fell, he looked haggard, and started coughing non-stop.
He raised his hand and lowered his back, then walked into the house.
"You're back, come in!"
Father Jiang saw this and felt very disappointed. His father was really good at pretending. He was fine just now, but now he was coughing just for him.
Aunt Jiang looked at Jiang Baige, her eyes constantly sizing her up.
I thought to myself, this girl seems to have really changed, she actually looks so pretty.
Compared with her, the maids in my family look like ugly ducklings.
She curled her lips in impatience and said, "Let's go! Seeing that your grandfather is sick, you don't even care about his condition."
As she spoke, she walked into the yard, twisting her big butt.
Jiang Baige saw her aunt's appearance and grinned behind her.
He used to call her a wild girl, but today he actually said that Old Man Jiang was her grandfather. I don’t know what he is planning.
She had no right to speak here, but when the aunt asked for money, she seemed to be a member of the Jiang family again.
I was secretly on guard in my heart. No matter what they said, they would be left without money, without food, and without anything else.
Father Jiang followed Old Man Jiang into his room and saw his father lying back on the bed, crying in pain.
"Ouch, my waist is going to break."
Seeing his son still standing at the door, he said again.
"Come on, find a stool and sit down!"
The energy she had when she was playing chicken outside just now was gone, and now she stretched out her trembling hand to beckon her son to sit down.
Father Jiang understood that his father was just pretending and felt that he could no longer be led by them.
Then he said, "Dad, I send you money and food every month. Why did you pretend to be sick and ask me to come back? What do you want to do?"
When Old Man Jiang heard his son say this, he sat up again and snorted.
"Humph, you've made it big. You actually dared to hide from your father. I was just about to ask you what you want to do!"
"You've grown up. You took your wife and children and hid away from us when we had a disagreement. You didn't give us any information about where you moved this time."
"Your mother and I are old, and it's not very convenient for us to live in the countryside. We've discussed it. Your mother and I have lived with your eldest brother and his family for so many years. From now on, your mother and I will move in with you, and you will take care of us in our old age."
When Jiang's father heard this, he couldn't believe it. His parents actually wanted to move to their house.
Jiang Baige was standing outside the door. When she heard what Old Man Jiang said, she was speechless.
What do they mean by asking his father to take care of them in their old age? What are all his descendants for?
I didn't expect this was the purpose of asking them to come.
