Chapter 127 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law face off
Jiang's mother is still in the compound, temporarily staying in the guesthouse.
Lin Wanxia and her family of three returned to the compound and put their things in the family compound before turning around and walking to the guesthouse.
The military guesthouse is also cold and hard, so clean that it seems like a cleanliness obsession.
But Jiang's mother destroyed this "cleanliness obsession" by herself.
She lives on the second floor, and the corridor is full of broken things.
As soon as the family of three went up the stairs, they heard laughter coming from a room.
"Chunxia, this dress is so beautiful! You are a good girl. Don't worry, I know what happened between you and Si Nian."
"Auntie, I bought you clothes and it has nothing to do with Brother Nian. I just like you!" Song Chunxia's voice was shy.
Lin Wanxia looked at Jiang Si Nian.
Jiang Sinian touched his nose, sighed helplessly, and explained in a low voice: "My mother is not a bad person, she is just... greedy for petty gains."
Lin Wanxia did not say anything.
Chen Manshu also said this when he came to the fishing village to see her.
She said: "Although I have not been in the village for a long time, I have heard a little about your mother-in-law. She is just an ordinary rural old lady, not so weird. She loves to take petty gains, likes to act like an elder, and especially likes to show off in front of her daughter-in-law.
You are a daughter-in-law from another place, she is afraid that you will seduce Jiang Sinian and she will not come home after she retires, and she is also afraid that she will not be able to set rules in front of you, her daughter-in-law."
These shortcomings are all weird to Lin Wanxia.
Just like every mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies.
Jiang Sinian knocked on the door, and Jiang's mother was overjoyed to see him.
"Si Nian? You're finally back. I'd be suffocating if you didn't come back. Your building is so small and shabby, it's filled with a little stuff, and they'll blame me if I put it outside. I have to climb up and down to go out, it's so uncomfortable."
"Mom, you shouldn't have come. It's so far away, why bother? It's the same if you send a telegram or make a phone call."
"How can it be the same? Telegrams are charged by the word, and after thinking again and again, I only dare to say a few words. Making phone calls is also expensive and inconvenient. Just saying a few words costs the same as a pack of matches.
Besides, you don't even listen when I call you..."
Jiang's mother pulled Jiang Sinian into the room, and when she saw Lin Wanxia and Xingxing behind him, her face changed immediately, "Okay! You still dare to come?"
She turned to Jiang Sinian and complained, "Jiang Sinian, I tell you! If you really dare to marry this woman, I... I will die in front of you."
Lin Wanxia opened her mouth, glanced at Jiang Sinian, and closed it again.
She was not afraid of Jiang's mother, but she had to give Jiang Sinian a chance to perform.
Besides, Lin Wanxia was also curious, what would Jiang Sinian do as a henchman?
Jiang Sinian looked at Song Chunxia first, "Comrade Song, thank you for taking care of my mother during this time. How much is the new clothes you bought for her? I'll give it to you."
Just one sentence made Song Chunxia's eyes red and her face pale. She looked at Jiang's mother pitifully, waiting for her to fulfill her promise and speak for her.
Jiang's mother ignored Song Chunxia's pleading eyes, dragged Jiang Sinian into the room with one hand, and tried to close the door with the other hand, obviously wanting to lock Lin Wanxia and Xingxing out.
Xingxing was small but not stupid, and snorted angrily.
Lin Wanxia touched Xingxing's head and said nothing.
No matter what, she couldn't say bad things about his grandmother in front of the child.
Jiang Sinian propped up the door with one hand to prevent Jiang's mother from closing it, his eyes still looking at Song Chunxia, "Comrade Song, I'll send you the money for the clothes later. I have something going on at home right now, so it's not very convenient to entertain guests, otherwise..."
He didn't finish.
But everyone could understand such an obvious order to leave.
Song Chunxia looked at Jiang's mother resentfully, and when she saw that Jiang's mother avoided her eyes, she stomped her feet and walked out angrily.
When she passed Lin Wanxia, her body tilted heavily and tried to hit Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia noticed her movement and took a step back with Xingxing in her arms. Song Chunxia hit nothing and almost fell to the ground.
Xingxing wanted to call her Aunt Xia, but when she saw that Song Chunxia didn't even look at him from beginning to end, her little face looked a little lost, and she didn't open her mouth.
Lin Wanxia pulled Xingxing into the room.
The room in the guesthouse was not big, and it was a bit crowded with four people sitting in it.
Jiang Sinian stepped back and closed the door before saying to his mother, "Mom, Xia Xia and I are already married. We had a wedding banquet and got a marriage certificate."
Jiang's mother knew about this during her time at the family compound, but she didn't care and slammed the table. "You are from the Jiang family mansion, so the wedding banquet has to be held in the Jiang family mansion for it to count. Besides, your father and I are not here, so who are you going to worship your parents? The wedding doesn't count without parents.
As for the marriage certificate you mentioned, our hometown doesn't recognize that."
"Mom, can you stop making trouble? It's a fact that I'm already married. No matter where you go and who you make trouble with, you can't change that."
"No wonder people say that a mountain rat has a long tail and forgets his mother after getting married! Jiang Sinian, I raised you with my own hands, and you treat me like this? Fine, I won't live any longer!" Jiang's mother said and began to wipe her eyes.
Seeing that she howled for a long time without shedding a single tear, Lin Wanxia thought that this was also a kind of skill.
Xingxing muttered softly: "It's so noisy!"
Grandma's voice was so loud that it hurt her ears.
"Who are you talking about, you little idiot? If it weren't for you, how could my son have been single all this time! Before you, there were so many matchmakers that they almost broke down the doorstep of my house, but since he picked..."
"Mom!"
"Auntie!"
Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia spoke at the same time, both in a heavy tone.
Xingxing looked confused. There were a few words in these words that he didn't understand, but he knew that they were not good words and that they were disdaining him.
Mother Jiang didn't think she said anything wrong, but after hearing Jiang Sinian's serious tone, she didn't continue.
Lin Wanxia pulled Xingxing up, "Aunt Jiang, you and I should have been strangers for life, but because of this man..."
She pointed at Jiang Sinian, "We know each other and are a family in the eyes of others. Of course, whether we are really a family depends on how you act.
You don't like me, so of course I won't like you either. Don't try to put on airs in front of me. I don't owe your son anything. I married him for him as a person, not for you or the Jiang family.
I live with him because I want to live a better life, not to be someone's punching bag.
Of course, for Jiang Sinian's sake, I won't make things difficult for you. I will show you all the courtesy and etiquette, provided that you are polite to me as well.
You can make a fuss and make trouble. If you can really convince Jiang Sinian to divorce me, then that's your ability and I misjudged you.
But no matter what, it's an adult matter, don't bring the children into it. I hope this is the last time I hear you say that about Xingxing. Try it next time! "
After saying that, he led Xingxing away.
Jiang Sinian moved his fingers, wanting to stop her but then retracted them.
He turned to look at Jiang's mother: "Mom, do you want me to get married or find you a free babysitter?"
