Chapter 349: Family affection is maintained by money
Mrs. Xu waited impatiently and planned to leave first.
However, as soon as she got up, the old lady immediately raised her eyes and said in a fierce voice: "I haven't finished counting yet, are you in a hurry to leave?" In case you have a few missing sheets here, and we look for you later, you will definitely not admit it, right? The so-called don't admit it, you better sit for a while. ”
Mrs. Xu's face was really not good-looking, and she said in a light tone: "Since the Xu family promised you, they will not make these small moves." Grandma Jiang can rest assured, she has taken a lot of them, how many are you missing? ”
"Old man, don't treat others with yourself, the Xu family is a decent family, don't use your thoughts to judge others." The driver couldn't help but finally excuse himself.
The old lady quickly counted a small number of them, and then stopped to look at the other person.
"Do you think that because there are so many of you coming, we are afraid? There are two old people on our side, one is disabled, if you dare to mess around, I will shout, I see who everyone is biased towards when I see it! ”
The driver stepped forward: "Old man, don't rely on the old and sell the old!" ”
As soon as the driver's momentum was fierce, Mrs. Jiang was stunned, and retreated to the side, her face seemed to be flattering.
"I'm telling you the truth, just wait a little longer. I don't recognize this money, I haven't finished this yet, you're leaving, everyone is coming, anxious for a while? ”
The old lady finished speaking, and squatted down again.
"Isn't this matter settled?"
Mrs. Xu said: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to count." ”
Here Mrs. Xu sat down again, her whole face was extremely ugly.
The old lady counted for about seven or eight minutes, checked and confirmed it repeatedly, and hummed softly in her heart, she was so rich, she didn't even put one or two more tickets, who are they? Stingy!
"Fifty thousand, yes. But Mrs. Xu, you want to send us away with 50,000 yuan? I am Jiang Xi's grandmother, and the old man is her grandfather, and this is also Jiang Xi's father. Our Jiang family is the closest person to Jiang Xi, can you just take these tens of thousands of yuan? ”
The old lady put away the money bag and placed it in the booth behind her, and stood with her hands on her waist, as if she was planning to bargain again.
Mrs. Xu said in a firm tone: "Grandma Jiang, if you are not a poor relative today, this money will naturally not be handed over to you in vain." When the child gets married, you ask for the Sheng family's dowry, what dowry did the Jiang family give? The dowry and dowry are all in equal amounts, and if you have something, people will show it to you. You don't, why did the man give you the Jiang family? These 50,000 yuan are for the Xu family to replace Jiang Xi's unfulfilled filial piety and give it to your second elder. In today's situation, even if our family does not say anything, there is nothing wrong with it. Grandma Jiang, the money, brought it, it's too little or I have other opinions, you can let me bring the money back......"
"How's that going to work?!"
As soon as Grandma Jiang heard Mrs. Xu's words, Mrs. Xu hadn't finished speaking, and Grandma Jiang directly interrupted loudly.
Mrs. Xu said: "It's up to you, not me." ”
"Mom, as long as you have this courtesy, you don't have to pester Mrs. Xu anymore." Father Jiang spoke out helplessly.
Grandma Jiang's face was not very good-looking, "I'm not entangled, okay, it's better to have this money than not at all." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled politely: "Then now, can I leave?" ”
Grandma Jiang seemed to be unwilling, and nodded slowly: "Cheng, you can go, but let me tell you, your Xu family should not think that Jiang Xi is your family's people." She grew up in our Jiang family, you can't change this matter! ”
Mrs. Xu turned back slowly, "Jiang Xi now has his own home, Grandma Jiang, if you are really good for the child, and you really think that the child can live a stable life, you should no longer rely on the Jiang family to raise Jiang Xi's original family to ask for anything from the child." If you make any more non-profit demands, then I can only think that you are going for profit. ”
Father Jiang hurriedly reassured: "Mrs. Xu, you may have misunderstood, we have this move today, it is purely our custom in our own Jiang. In the eyes of the older generation, these old customs cannot be abolished, so they are already married in Xixi, and they still make such a request. But in the future, rest assured, we will never make any more non-point requests. ”
Mrs. Xu's eyes swept coldly to Father Jiang, "I believe that Mr. Jiang is a trustworthy person, and I hope that in the future, the child can truly live his own life." As parents, we didn't help her much in the first half of our child's life, and now that the child has found a husband on her own, we haven't helped her with anything, can we not hold her back? ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I think, so please don't worry, Mrs. Xu, this time it's etiquette, and the old man pays attention to etiquette. There will definitely be no such thing in the future, and Jiang Xi's mother also disagrees with this matter. Father Jiang said.
Xu Tai nodded and left the café first.
As soon as Mrs. Xu left, the joy on Grandma Jiang's face couldn't be suppressed.
"It's good, hey, raising a girl, it's a little useful at the moment when she gets married."
Grandma Jiang's words fell, and she turned her head and asked Father Jiang: "Jiang Xi recognized the Xu family, and the Xu family went out to get married, taking advantage of her mother's family. ”
Grandpa Jiang asked rhetorically: "Our family came forward, can you afford the dowry?" ”
Grandma Jiang was asked at this moment: "That person wants to marry our daughter, shouldn't there be a statement?" ”
Grandpa Jiang said: "You wait, when the time comes, we will definitely use such an excuse to leave our old Jiang family alone." Because our family can't give the children what they want, as soon as they make a move, it is something that the Jiang family can't earn in a few lifetimes. Alas! ”
"Jiang Xi is from the Xu family, and the girl who promised that she has not recognized the Jiang family so far, I see, that is the Xu family's idea." Grandma Jiang said.
Grandpa Jiang asked, "Wen Qiang, promise that kid, what are you doing now?" Grandparents are from their hometown, and you can let your children meet them. ”
Father Jiang shook his head: "I haven't seen that child, that child, listening to her mother, her heart and eyes have become bad." Xixi went to Xu's house, the child had a great prejudice, felt that Xixi had taken everything from her, and had always held a grudge against Xixi, and even had murderous intentions. Such a vicious child, Du Hong didn't plan to admit it. ”
"You...... That's an exaggeration, right? How can that kid be like this? The Xu family is also a high-ranking family, and the elder brother is well-read, can the children raised be like that? ”
Grandma Jiang didn't believe it a little, there were no vicious children in the Jiang family, how could the promise of pampering in the Xu family be like that?
Father Jiang said: "Du Hong said that the Xu family has been too concerned about Xu Promise since she was a child, and when Xu Promise was a child, the Xu family was her only child, and the whole family regarded it as a treasure, so it was inevitable to develop an arrogant temper and character. Therefore, they do not give in to their sisters. ”
Grandma Jiang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
"It's the same, it's uncomfortable for anyone to do this. You say, don't you? Who doesn't feel uncomfortable? Originally, the baby daughter of the whole family wanted the wind to be windy and rainy. Suddenly, a person appeared one day and said that all this has nothing to do with me, it is all hers, so who can't go crazy in exchange? ”
After the old lady finished chattering, she continued to say while cleaning up: "If you didn't strangle Jiang Xi's girl to death, it can be regarded as a promise that the child is kind-hearted." ”
Father Jiang wanted to speak and stopped, and Grandpa Jiang said: "That's not Jiang Xi's fault, the promise to target Jiang Xi just shouldn't be." ”
"Yes, I didn't want to rob anyone from anything, I promised that I wouldn't be able to get over that hurdle. The generosity of the Xu family recognized Jiang Xi, and Xu Promise is still the daughter of the Xu family, and the wife of the Xu family still cares for Xu Promise. It's just that the kid couldn't hold his breath and did too many wrong things. ”
Father Jiang's words fell, and Grandma Jiang asked again: "Are you in Yundu?" Find a time to come out, and her own grandparents invite her to dinner and tea. ”
"Not in the country, sent out of the country." Father Jiang said.
Grandpa Jiang was so unhappy, and said in a low voice: "You also save a little, this time you get the money, and you start to spend it indiscriminately?" ”
There is still half a life in the future, the old family does not provide support, and the old family also looks at them, and now the old man and the old lady can still do things, and they can also help lead people, and occasionally cook.
But when they can't move, or have some kind of illness or something, who cares about them?
This money, don't look at a lot, it is far from enough to really afford the old age of two people.
Grandma Jiang said, "What do you know? That child was raised by the Jiang family, and if you want to be close to that child, why can you get some of it. ”
said and sighed: "It's a pity, the people are not there." Did she go abroad to go to school or something else? ”
Grandma Jiang asked Father Jiang, and Father Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that I was sent out to school, when I will come back, there is no fixed number yet, and it is possible that I will work and live outside after finishing my school abroad." In the future, if we say it now, we may not say it necessarily. ”
"That's a pity." Grandma Jiang said.
When Father Jiang and the three returned to Century City, Father Jiang had been holding things in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
This matter also told Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother would definitely be angry when she found out.
Father Jiang sat at home, thinking about it, and felt that he still had to go to the hospital and confess this matter to Mother Jiang, otherwise if he heard it from other places in the future, he would not be able to explain it.
Father Jiang simply explained to the second elder of the Jiang family, and took a taxi to the hospital.
The second elder of the Jiang family scoffed at Jiang's father going to the hospital to take care of Jiang's mother, and as soon as the person left, his face was pulled down.
"Look, look, I married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, my son raised me so big, and when I expect him to give you a pension, his heart is on his wife." Grandma Jiang snorted lightly.
Grandpa Jiang hurriedly said: "Aren't I also a husband and a wife?" ”
"You're an old and unscrupulous person, who is rare? I'm talking about Wen Qiang, Wen Qiang's leg is finally able to stand up and do something, but that heart is not in the two parents who need him to take care of it at all, are you talking about it? I see, every penny of the money of the two of them is in Du Hong's hands. That can't be done, the economic power must be handed over to the son. ”
"Wen Qiang, he is not a person who can manage money and housekeepers." Grandpa Jiang said.
Grandma Jiang's face turned horizontal: "He's not, I can do it, is it possible that my housekeeper can't manage the money?" The old lady hasn't left yet, and this family has to be a mother. ”
Grandpa Jiang wanted to speak and stopped, and then only nodded slightly.
"Okay, listen to you, you're a mother, you didn't live together before, you can't take care of it. Now that I'm here and living together again, it's natural to take care of this family. ”
"Isn't that?" Grandma Jiang snorted lightly: "Look at my absence, what has Du Hong tossed this family into?" She's not here for this family at all! ”
No matter what Grandma Jiang said, Grandpa Jiang kept nodding in agreement.
As soon as Jiang's father arrived at the hospital, he confessed that his parents had taken 50,000 yuan from the Xu family.
After hearing this, Jiang's mother inevitably became angry, if it weren't for the inconvenience of Jiang's father's leg, the water cup that Jiang's mother lifted would directly hit Jiang's father's head.
Mother Jiang looked at Father Jiang and trembled with anger: "Why are you such a person?" Your mother has such a ridiculous request, you are jumping back and forth, you are really embarrassed by the Jiang family's face! We have lived in Yundu for two years, and we have never taken the initiative to find the Xu family. Isn't it because you don't want to be looked down upon? Don't want to be seen as greedy for other people's money? ”
Father Jiang denied: "No, I won't think so." ”
"Won't? People are kind and angry with you, you take it seriously? Jiang Mu asked angrily: "Why don't you want to think about it, if Jiang Xi knew about this matter, what would he think of us?" She got married, our family didn't give anything, and you even agreed that the two old ones went to the Xu family to ask for money and children, which is called bride price! Are you too embarrassed to ask for it? ”
Father Jiang opened his mouth: "It's not what you think!" ”
"It's not what I think, but that's what it is!" Jiang Mu shouted angrily: "Jiang Wenqiang, weren't you such a hypocritical person before? How did you become such a money-loving person? ”
Father Jiang retorted: "It's not my idea, it's my parents' insistence." Jiang Xi did grow up in our Jiang family, and the old lady's request was actually reasonable. Didn't the Xu family also recognize this statement, so they gave the old man 50,000 yuan instead of Jiang Xi? That's all the reason why the Xu family is filial to their grandparents instead of Jiang Xi, and they are not entangled, don't think about it. ”
Mother Jiang was so angry that she pressed her chest many times, unable to accept this matter.
"Don't stress in front of me that this is reasonable behavior, okay? Be fair and just yourself, Jiang Wenqiang! The Xu family doesn't owe us, why should they give the Jiang family 50,000 yuan instead of Xixi? Two years ago, our family had already taken the 200,000 yuan, and at that time we were already very weak-minded. If you didn't need money, if I didn't insist on treating you, would I have asked for the 200,000? I'd rather guard my daughter in my life than promise a penny of my family! No matter how much money they give the Xu family, they can't buy away my feelings for my daughter! ”
Jiang's mother was a little emotional, although she was very strict and strict with Jiang Xi, her love for Jiang Xi was 100% unadulterated.
No matter what the results of the paternity test were, she determined that the only daughter in her life was Jiang Xi, that is, Jiang Xi, and ten or a hundred promises were not as good as Jiang Xi.
"It's not about buying ......"
"Two years ago, we took their money! Don't take anything else after that. Jiang Xi is not close to the Xu family, what reason do people have to give the Jiang family money? The Jiang family is used to taking money from others, right? Jiang Mu asked loudly.
Father Jiang buried his head and shook his head: "No, this time it's a shyness to get married, so it's a lottery to share......"
Jiang Mu interrupted loudly: "Enough, you obviously know that you are quibbling, I don't want to listen to your quibbles, you let me be alone for a while." ”
