"Why are you arguing about Heli?" Shen Yuyu asked nosy.
For a country salesman to become rich in just a few years, he must be quite capable, but it didn't look like that to her uncle.
"Who knows?" Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "Yingru hasn't been back to her parents' home for two or three years, and she didn't go into details in the letter. But after all, a man's second thoughts are not for women?'
While they were talking, a younger brother ran in holding a small snowball and said, "Master, grandma, the second aunt and the second uncle are back." After hearing this, everyone stood up and greeted them outside the hospital.
I saw an oxcart coming, driven by a dark-faced farmer, and sitting in the car was a simple country woman, Jiang Yinghong, the second girl of the Jiang family, and He Da, the second girl of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yinghong married not far away, in the next village.
When they got out of the car at the door of their house, the couple greeted each other one by one: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law~~"
When she saw Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun, Jiang Yinghong said happily: "This is my eldest niece Jiang Yuyu? You can see how graceful Luo Luo is!"
"Second aunt, second uncle." Shen Yuyu called with a smile.
"Hey~" Jiang Yinghong and He Da agreed happily and looked at Ji Xun, "Is this our Yu Yu's wishful man? He's really good.'
"Ji Xun has met the second aunt and the second uncle." Ji Xun also greeted him respectfully.
Jiang Yinghong and He Da hurriedly responded, and other younger brothers and sisters also came over to meet the elders. After that, the couple took things down from the bullock cart.
He apologized to Shen Yuyu, "We don't have much good things in the countryside. They are all grown and raised at home. I caught two chickens and two ducks." She felt ashamed that she couldn't get anything good from her parents' house.
Two chickens and two ducks might be all the family's possessions in a country where food is scarce. This really moved Shen Yuyu.
After carrying the chickens and ducks down, Jiang Yinghong took out a bag of dried river fish weighing seven or eight kilograms. "This bag of dried river fish was fished by your uncle from the river when it rained and the water rose a few days ago.'
After saying that, he looked at He Da with a distressed look, "I risked my life trying to catch fish. I fell into the river and was almost pushed away by the flood~"
"Bitch, what are you talking about?" He Da scratched the back of his head and laughed.
Looking at this down-to-earth country couple, Shen Yuyu felt particularly cordial. He quickly took the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I love dry river fish the most. Thank you, aunt and uncle."
Mrs. Jiang's face was filled with distress, "You are willing to risk your life just for that little bit of food? Don't do such stupid things in the future." The old lady never talked much, so after hearing He Da's words, she also scolded him a few times.
The old couple gave birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter Jiang Yingxue was no longer around long ago. The second daughter stayed in Jizhou for several years and never returned to her parents' home. Only the third daughter stayed with her and was filial.
"Third sister and third brother-in-law, why didn't you bring the child?" Mrs. Gu asked strangely.
"Oh, Yaoyao's child's illness has suddenly worsened in the past few days. We have to rush back when we come back for a meal." Jiang Yinghong looked gloomy.
After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Ding and said with concern, "I heard that Miss Lian's leg was injured and she might be paralyzed? I'll go check on her." I heard Mrs. Yao say it when I entered the village.
"Mom, what disease does cousin Yaoyao have?" After Jiang Yinghong left, Shen Yuyu asked in a low voice in Gu's ear.
Mrs. Gu shook her head helplessly: "The doctor said there was something growing in my belly, and I'm afraid it's difficult for gods to cure it~~ Is that your aunt's carriage?"
Shen Xiaohurriedly looked up and saw three carriages approaching, so he said "yes".
Seeing that He Da's bullock cart was parked there, blocking the road, the carriage in front stopped. Jiang Ying got out of the car and kicked the cart with disgust.
"Hey, third brother-in-law, why can't you stop this old ox-cart? Really~~" Even though she could pass, she insisted on shouting.
"Hey, I'll move away right now." He Dashi rushed the ox cart aside. After the three carriages passed by, they stopped under the peach tree and pear tree respectively.
Du Anbang got off the car. As if he hadn't noticed the many people standing at the gate of the courtyard, he walked to the carriage next to him and said to Du Ruotong.
"This mountain area is poor, but the scenery is pretty good. My daughter, you can't see such beautiful scenery in the city. Get off the car."
Du Ruotong refused to come at first, but after meeting Ji Xun, her cousin-in-law, she did not regret coming. She got out of the car with her skirt in hand, and looked around at the scenery after getting out of the car.
Over there, Jiang Yingru ordered the girl with her: "Xiao Xi, take the meat I bought out of the car."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Xi hurriedly ran to the car and brought over the piece of meat that she had snatched from Shen Yuyu in the morning.
Jiang Yingru walked up to everyone with a sense of superiority and said, "Mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law, this is the pork I specially bought in the county. It weighs sixty pounds." She looked like she was giving alms to the poor.
"How much did it cost?" Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold.
I didn't expect that this daughter would not come back for several years, and when she came back she would look like this. Look at her attitude~~ Did she regard her relatives as beggars?
"It's not much, just a tael of silver." Jiang Yingru twitched the corner of her mouth proudly, and did not forget to add, "I guess you are not willing to buy so much meat to eat all year round, right? Cook more in the evening and serve meat to everyone.'
Shen Yuyu had chickens, ducks and geese on his back this morning. It wasn't that she didn't see them, but she mistakenly thought they were taken to the county to sell. She didn't sell them and returned home again.
So I believe that everyone will be slanderous after seeing such a big piece of meat.
Her words made Old Mrs. Jiang so angry that her nose almost smoked.
The Jiang family has many children but little land. In the past, they were indeed poor, but after Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun came, the red envelopes they gave to Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang only amounted to two hundred taels of silver notes each.
What kind of food is there to eat at home? I really don’t think she has a few kilograms of meat.
Mrs. Jiang's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and she raised her chin to Mrs. Gu: "Eldest daughter-in-law, give her the money to buy meat."
"Yes." Mrs. Gu responded, took out a silver diamond worth at least two taels, and handed it to Jiang Yingru, "I'm sorry to bother my second sister."
Jiang Yingru was shocked. She really didn't expect that her mother's family, who were so poor that they couldn't even eat enough to eat, would actually spend just two taels of silver?
He laughed hurriedly, "Although it's not cool to ask my daughter back to her parents' home to buy groceries, it's not that we can't afford it, so we don't need to pay for it."
Mrs. Gu stuffed the money into her hand and said, "Take it, our family can still afford the meat." Then she walked back.
After Jiang Yingru heard this, she turned her gaze to Ji Xun and twitched the corner of her mouth with some jealousy.
"It seems that Jiang Yu's eldest niece is very lucky. Not only did she come back after being abducted by someone, she also caught a golden son-in-law, haha.'
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Gu touched Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun and took them back to the courtyard. Jiang Ming picked up the hoe outside the courtyard and went to work.
After not coming back for a few years, when I came back it was like a young lady going to the countryside to provide warmth to poor households, which made people heartbroken. Jiang Liang and Ding also casually said that they were going back to the West Courtyard.
When Du Anbang came over with his daughter Du Ruotong, only the Jiang family and a few younger brothers and sisters were left at the door.
Du Anbang was empty-handed and didn't buy anything. When three taels of carriages came, the only thing he bought for his family was the dozens of kilograms of meat that Mrs. Jiang had told her about.
"Where are the people? Why are they all gone? Don't you welcome us?" Du Anbang's pointed and thin face was full of displeasure, "It seems that you bought this pork for nothing."
"My good son-in-law, you spent one tael of silver to buy this meat, and I gave you two taels of silver. It's not a loss for you, huh." He said these words hard, and even Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang walked away.
