Chapter 128: "Incense"
"Ding-dong.... Ding dong.... Dingdong ....."
The doorbell kept echoing in the house, and the sound was very urgent, revealing the anxiety of the bell-ringer.
Jiang Nansun, who was packing his luggage in the room, hurriedly walked out, walked through the hall, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
"Hey Nansun, I'm in a hurry, what happened, why did you suddenly move here from your house?" Zhu Suosuo opened the door and walked in as he spoke.
Jiang Nansun stretched out his hand to close the door, did not rush to answer Zhu Suosuo's question, walked into the kitchen, and after a while, he walked out with a glass of warm boiled water and handed it to Zhu Suosuo: "Let's drink saliva first, I see that you are so anxious that your lips are a little dry." β
Zhu Suosuo took the water and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, I was so thirsty just now." Zhu Suosuo put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and his expression was relaxed, but he quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Nansun's hand and said anxiously: "Nansun, what happened?" β
Jiang Nansun saw Zhu Suosuo's anxious face, and his heart warmed, but Zhu Suosuo, his best friend, cared about himself the most: "Why are you making all the fuss, you don't know, I've always wanted to move out of the house, and now that I get what I want, shouldn't I be happy?" β
"Of course I'm happy for you!" Zhu Suosuo's voice was raised, and then he sank down and continued: "But you didn't move out when your family was good before, and now that it's like this, you have come out instead, can I not be surprised?" β
Although Jiang Nansun didn't want to recall what happened during the day, he looked at the eyes of his girlfriend in front of him, sighed in his heart, and told the story concisely.
The more Zhu Suosuo listened, the tighter his brows became, and as soon as Jiang Nansun finished speaking, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but scold.
Jiang Nansun didn't speak, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but with her character, there was no way to say whatever she wanted like Zhu Suosuo, but listening to Zhu Suosuo's scolding, she felt that the discomfort in her heart was slowly vented.
But Zhu Suosuo's eyes turned red when he suddenly scolded, Jiang Nansun hurriedly pulled a few tissues from the coffee table next to him, and handed them to Zhu Suosuo in a little panic: "Suosuo, what's wrong with you?" Why did you cry all of a sudden? β
Zhu Suosuo took the tissue and wiped his tears: "I just suddenly thought of my dad..."
Jiang Nansun suddenly understood, although Suosuo's father was stronger than her father, but he was also very limited, he only knew how to give money from childhood to adulthood, and almost no one was seen.
I heard Suosuo say that since the last time she brought Mayila back to see Suosuo, her father has never looked for her again, but occasionally he still remembers to send some money back, but it is a lot less than before.
"Nansun, why do you think we are so unlucky to have such a father?" Zhu Suosuo crumpled the tissues wet with tears into a ball and held them tightly in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Nansun was silent, they had actually discussed this issue many times before, but each time it ended with a sigh.
No one in this world can choose their origins, coming to this world is an adventure, the two of them have a bad start, however, the two of them can't be considered unlucky, at least both of them have grown up healthy and healthy, and they can choose how to go on their own adventures.
Thinking of this, a figure flashed in Jiang Nansun's mind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Nansun? Nansun? β
Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun suspiciously, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her face, and only when he saw that she came back to his senses did he say, "What happened to you just now?" Why did you suddenly fall into a daze? β
Jiang Nansun smiled and wanted to answer, but after thinking about it for a while, he still made an excuse: "Maybe I feel a little tired, right?" β
"Also, if something like this happens at home today, you're making trouble, and it's normal to be tired, and you have to move," Zhu Suosuo didn't suspect it, and nodded.
When she moved out of her uncle's house not long ago, although she also called a moving company to help, she didn't have to do things by herself, but just packing and packing made her almost tired and paralyzed, so it was natural to think that Jiang Nansun, who had just moved and had to clean up, was really tired and a little in a trance just now.
"But then again, where did you rent this house? You were looking for a temporary house today, right? I was able to find such a nice house. β
Zhu Suosuo looked at the furniture and various decorations in the house, she didn't know much about these before, but since she has been doing real estate sales for so long, she has also learned some about these, and she has seen a lot of finely decorated sample rooms when she is running various real estate, which has also deepened her understanding of these.
So she only took a few looks, and found a few kinds of furniture that were not low-grade, and although the decoration in the house did not look luxurious, it could be seen that it should be the handiwork of a good designer, and the owner of the house should have put a lot of thought into this house.
She spent several days renting a house by herself, and she had seen a lot of houses of various price ranges, but she had no impression that any house could be compared to this house.
Jiang Nansun can find such a good house by renting a house temporarily today, so it's too lucky, right?
Moreover, Zhu Suosuo looked around, and silently calculated in his heart, this house is located on the edge of the Huangpu River, this kind of geographical location plus area and decoration, the rent for a month is at least twenty or thirty thousand, didn't Jiang Nansun tell her that he didn't have much money before?
How can you afford to rent such an expensive house now?
Thinking of this, Zhu Suosuo's heart was a little uncomfortable.
Princess Jiang is really Princess Jiang, even if she is down now, her life is still much better than her....
Phew!
Zhu Suosuo, Nansun is your good friend, how can you be jealous of her just because she is doing well?
Zhu Suosuo secretly snorted himself a few times in his heart, but when his eyes swept over Jiang Nansun's pretty face, he still couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
"How can I have such a great ability, this is He Tian's house, I impulsively gave all the money over there, and even forgot to leave the money for renting a house. When God found out, he asked me to live here for a while, and then move out when I had some money. β
"What the heaven's house? Then he doesn't live on his own? Zhu Suosuo said in surprise, and his eyes swept around the house, but he didn't find any traces of the opposite sex living here.
He said that he still had classes at Modu University during this time, so it would be more convenient to live in the teacher's dormitory over there. And it's also relatively close to the company. Jiang Nansun explained with a smile.
"Tsk, even if the teacher's dormitory environment in your school is good, but it's not as good as here, you don't live in a good big house, you have to live in the school dormitory, I see, he's making excuses. Nansun, did you say he had a crush on you? Zhu Suosuo's heart was even more sour, but he pretended to have a bad smile on his face, and looked at Jiang Nansun with a hippie smile.
"You're thinking too much. Under what kind of conditions, what kind of girl can't be found? Why are you wading into the troubled waters of my house? Jiang Nansun shook his head and said.
She remembered that she had admitted that she liked him in front of Father Jiang and He Tian today, and now that she remembered it, she didn't know where she got the courage to say it at that time, and those words came out of her mouth as if they hadn't gone through her mind.
Thinking about it now, Jiang Nansun felt that his palms were sweating.
"What's wrong with you? Jiang Nansun, who has always been fearless, actually coaxed? Zhu Suosuo was a little surprised, this is not Jiang Nansun's style of speaking.
"I didn't hold back, but after going through so many things, I felt like I knew more, so I had more fear of the world. In the past, I was too naΓ―ve, thinking that everything was just how I wanted it, and I could achieve it by working hard, but now that I think about it, how many things in this world are that I have no choice. β
"But isn't your family's debt problem already solved? Although there is no money, it is good to start all over again, how can it be said that it is a trip to troubled waters? β
"Debt is settled, but that is, freed from the burden of the past. But what about the future? My mother won't talk about it, my dad and my grandmother, the two of them don't have the ability to support themselves at all, and all kinds of daily expenses are not small. Moreover, they are old and have a lot of problems, and the money spent on these diseases alone is not a small amount. β
"But didn't you already give your dad a sum of money today? Didn't you get rid of it over there? β
Listening to Zhu Suosuo's question, Jiang Nansun's eyelids drooped, and he was silent for a while before he smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a thing as blood relationship, which can be cleared up by talking about it?" If one day, they run out of money and run to the door, will I really be able to kick them out? If they get sick, can I ignore them? β
Jiang Nansun sighed lightly: "I can see my father's person clearly, he is becoming more and more bottomless now, so I am not surprised that he has done anything." β
The sourness in Zhu Suosuo's heart just now dissipated at once.
Compared with Jiang Nansun, she is at least carefree, she has enough to feed the whole family without worrying, and she doesn't need to carry a family.
"But don't you have a grandmother? Grandma is so decent, she will definitely not let her uncle do too much. Zhu Suosuo opened his mouth and explained.
"Grandma? Decent? β
In front of her precious son, where can she care about her decency. As long as her baby son can live well and renew the incense for the Jiang family, she can do without any dignity. Jiang Nansun scoffed.
She may have been naΓ―ve before, but after so many things, she should have a heart.
He Tian has been doing drama with her for more than a month, and she has not wasted more than a month, and secretly put a few bugs at home, especially one in the room of grandma and Jiang's father.
Bugging devices are something that ordinary people don't need at all, so they don't have the heart to be guarded, not to mention that Mrs. Jiang and Father Jiang were first troubled by the embarrassment of their current lives, and then they were busy making all kinds of small calculations, and they wouldn't notice these things.
So Jiang Nansun's tricks learned from the movie "Eavesdropping" have not been discovered at all.
Since the Jiang family moved into that rented house, there is no aunt in the family who used to invite them, and Jiang Nansun is responsible for the hygiene, so she will change the battery of the bugging device every few days, and take away the previous recording by the way.
At first, all she could hear was Father Jiang's self-pity and self-complaint, as well as Mrs. Jiang's enlightenment to Father Jiang.
But at that time, she was already a little disappointed in Mrs. Jiang.
The Jiang family has become what it is now, and Mrs. Jiang still doesn't want Jiang's father to go out to work, for fear that he will be tired and injured, and that he will meet acquaintances outside and feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when outsiders see his down-and-out appearance.
So it's better to rest at home.
To this day, Mrs. Jiang still dotes on this only child, the only inheritor of the Jiang family's incense in her eyes.
And what about her?
Isn't it hard for her Jiang Nansun to go out to work?
Isn't it hard for her to support the two old people in the family alone?
Wouldn't she feel ashamed when she met an acquaintance outside who learned about the Jiang family's downfall?
These old ladies Jiang don't know if they have thought about it, but she must not care.
Jiang Nansun, the granddaughter, could only obediently step aside in front of her precious son.
What made Jiang Nansun even more angry was that when Mrs. Jiang comforted Jiang's father, she actually told him that she still had a sum of money in her hand.
It's really hidden!
The Jiang family was like that before, Jiang's father was so anxious that his hair fell down all the way, Mrs. Jiang was really able to calm down, pinched the money in her hand, and didn't leak the slightest rumor, and even her expression was not suspicious at all.
However, judging from the tone of her grandmother's speech, the money she had in her hand was not much, so she didn't dare to give the money to Jiang's father, but occasionally took a little out to subsidize the family, buy some bird's nest or something, and replenish her baby son's body.
But Jiang Nansun has never seen these things at home.
These are just foreplays, and the recordings that follow are getting more and more "exciting".
In the third week of He Tian's coming to Jiang's house to act, Jiang Nansun heard a self-talk from the recording she got from her grandmother's room.
"Lao Jiang, your precious son still wants to hide it from me, does he think I really can't see through his mind?"
"He was conceived and born in October, and I have brought him up all these years, and I know what he wants to do. They even thought they could hide it from me. β
"Hey, it's a bit unseemly, he actually remembered Nansun's bride price."
"Hey, old Jiang, what do you think I should do? If this thing is done and spread out, our Jiang family's reputation will be ruined. β
After Mrs. Jiang said this, she let out a long sigh, and there was a silence in the casual recording.
More than twenty minutes later, when Jiang Nansun thought that her grandmother had nothing to say, her voice sounded in the recording again: "Then I can only be sorry Nansun." She has always been a girl, and she can't afford to help the Jiang family inherit the lineage. It's okay if Dai Yin's bad woman is gone, when I get the money, I will help your precious son find another mother-in-law, and let her renew the incense for our Jiang family. You and the ancestors of the Jiang family are underground, you must bless us. β
Hehe.
When Jiang Nansun heard this, she was very disappointed in this family, and what Jiang's father said that day was just the last straw that overwhelmed her.
Otherwise, how could she have thrown away the family photo of the Jiang family just because Jiang's father was alone.
