Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born

Chapter 228: Grandma and Grandpa

When Jiang's mother heard her daughter sincerely speaking of Yu Xiufeng's goodness on the other end of the phone, she felt sad. She knew her daughter was truly grateful to that man and that they had a deep relationship. But reality was so cruel that the two of them parted ways. Now she had no money and could not stand up.

"You're right to think so. What's your budget for this renovation?" asked Jiang's mother, with a hint of heartache in her voice.

Young Jiang Jie hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Yesterday, Jie Sheng and I discussed that we only need to do a simple renovation of the house, with a budget of 150,000 yuan."

When she said this number, young Jiang Jie felt as if she had used up all her strength. She had never seen a six-digit deposit, let alone taking out so much money at once. Asking her mother for a loan, and such a large sum, made her feel very nervous and uneasy. Although she said she would pay the money back as soon as possible, she was actually not sure if she could really do it.

When Jiang's mother heard the number, her heart sank. However, she did not show it, but pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, Mom knows. I will transfer the money to your card later."

When young Jiang Jie heard this, she was moved to tears. She knew her mother would give her the money, and she felt guilty about it. She choked up and said, "Thank you, Mom! I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Mother Jiang smiled and comforted her: "Silly child, why would we thank you? As long as you are happy, Mom will be satisfied."

Young Jiang Jie obviously misunderstood Jiesheng's intention. When he discussed the decoration style with her, he simply hoped that she could live comfortably and happily. He never considered asking her to pay for it. In fact, Jiang Jiesheng had already prepared enough funds in his bank card for decoration.

Since entering high school, Chen Yuanyuan has regularly transferred money to Jiang Jiesheng's account every month. Over the years, the balance in the card has been enough to pay for the renovation costs.

Jiang Jiesheng gave the key to the new house to his mother out of concern for young Jiang Jie. He knew that his mother would understand young people's preferences better and could help him choose a suitable decoration style. In this way, young Jiang Jie would feel more comfortable living in it in the future. However, he never expected that in just one day, young Jiang Jie began to ask around how to raise money for the decoration.

When young Jiang Jie happily handed the bank card to Jiang Jiesheng, she was filled with joy, thinking that her son would happily accept this surprise, but she did not notice that Jiang Jiesheng's face was not filled with joy but with a serious expression. He looked at his mother quietly, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Mom, it's my fault for not telling you in advance that I had prepared the renovation money, which caused you trouble. Now, please return the money to grandma." Jiang Jiesheng's tone was full of seriousness and persistence. He knew that such a decision might embarrass his mother, but he believed it was the right choice.

Jiang Jiesheng knew his grandmother well. She was an extremely frugal person. Although she had been doing business and had no shortage of money, she had never wasted a penny. For this old lady, every penny had a special meaning, and if they borrowed such a large sum of money from her, it would undoubtedly cause other people to have some unnecessary speculation and misunderstanding.

Young Jiang Jie was in a dilemma. The bank card in her hand seemed to become heavy. She knew that her son was right, but at the same time she was reluctant to return the money she had already received. She was afraid that her son would look down on her and think that she was incompetent.

Faced with this dilemma, young Jiang Jie felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. She was full of inner conflicts. She hoped to get her son's understanding and support, but at the same time she didn't want to give up the money she had borrowed with great difficulty.

"Grandma is willing to help us, so we should accept her kindness. It's not like we don't want to pay her back. It will be in time to pay her back when the decoration is completed and we don't really need her money!" Young Jiang Jie expressed her plan.

"Mom, have you ever thought about it? Grandma has more than one daughter, she also has an uncle and an aunt in the family. If your aunt finds out that you lend her money like this, it will be very difficult for grandma to make ends meet. What's more, she is not sure whether her business can be turned around after giving you the 150,000 yuan. You also know that her businesses are all small businesses, and it is not easy for her to make money." Jiang Jiesheng still insisted that young Jiang Jie return the money to Jiang's mother.

Young Jiang Jie could only nod in agreement. She borrowed the money for renovation, and her son had already prepared the money, so she would return it to Jiang's mother. She also felt that Jiang Jiesheng was right. If her sister-in-law knew that she had asked her mother for so much money, she would definitely not give up.

Jiang Jiesheng was afraid that his mother would go back on her word again, so he quickly took out his bank card from his bag and handed it to young Jiang Jie, saying, "The money in here is more than enough for the renovation. You can return the money to grandma tomorrow." After taking the card, young Jiang Jie nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, now that I know there is money for the renovation, I will definitely return the money to grandma."

However, she didn't know why her son knew his mother so well, because in her memory, this son was not close to his grandmother, but was very filial to the two old people in the Lin family. So, young Jiang Jie couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do your grandpa and grandma know that you have money in your card?" Jiang Jiesheng felt very strange after hearing this, so he asked back: "Which grandpa and grandma?" Young Jiang Jie answered casually: "The grandpa and grandma of the Lin family." Hearing this, Jiang Jiesheng looked at his mother with a strange look, as if he saw a monster.

"Didn't you ask me to sever ties with the Lin family when I was very young? But why do you mention them now? Do you want me to recognize them as my grandparents again?" Jiang Jiesheng's heart was full of doubts and confusion. What on earth did this mother go through? In the dream, she was not filial to her grandparents!

Young Jiang Jie also felt dazed, she realized that she had a disordered memory and began to doubt whether everything she had experienced was real or just an illusion.

"Yes, I actually forgot that I have a disordered memory. The saying that too much talk leads to mistakes is absolutely true!" Jiang Jie said to herself. She realized that she had to be careful and not talk nonsense anymore, because what she said might be unreal and non-existent.

Jiesheng heard his mother mumbling to herself, and the guilt he felt in his dream rose up in his heart again.

"It doesn't matter. Even if they knew I have money, they would be embarrassed to ask me for it. After all, they were the ones who gave up on me when I was a child and gave me to my godmother. Besides, this money has nothing to do with them. It was all transferred to me by my godmother." Jiang Jiesheng patiently explained to young Jiang Jie the cause and effect between the two elders of the Lin family and himself.
