The boss is dressed as cannon fodder
22. The farmer's child bride22
Jiang He estimated that Old Chen would not dare to go up the mountain in the short term, so he continued with his previous plan to ask someone to repair the villa in his mind.
Old Man Wang came very quickly and did a very detailed job. On the surface, he was repairing the old house, but it looked like a renovation.
Before coming to repair the house, the women in the family asked him to work hard. They also made a lot of money relying on Shun Niang, so they should be grateful!
Old Man Wang was indeed grateful. His family became much richer. He could drink wine twice more every month. His wife didn't say anything, and she even made peanuts to go with the wine.
Life was comfortable. Jiang Da'o's family knew how to behave, so they naturally knew what was reward.
Seeing it in their eyes and remembering it in their hearts, Shun Niang didn't say anything. Although the wages did not change, the food was excellent. There were two meals a day of big fat meat, braised pork elbows... The guys were so happy that they worked harder. They even found stones with pointed ends facing up on the walls to ensure that the blind thieves would not tear their balls.
When Taohua Niang came to give her the head flower, she was so surprised that those who didn't know would think it was newly built.
The Jiang family's main house has completely risen.
***
By the autumn, Jiang He's legs and feet were completely fine. The old imperial physician was secretly satisfied with the efficacy of the imperial medicine he made himself. Although Jiang He was not as good as before, as long as he didn't overwork his legs, he could do a lot of work.
After the news that Jiang He walked like a normal person spread, everyone sighed that the old doctor's high fee was justified. You know, the previous diagnosis of the doctors in the city was that Jiang Dao would only be lame in the future. He was worthy of being an imperial physician!
The women in the village were all happy for Shun Niang. She had never given up on Jiang Dao, and Jiang Dao was also moved by her sincerity. Now the couple is in love. As a woman, they like this kind of story of a prodigal son returning home and reuniting with his family the most.
As for Old Chen, they have already separated, so they are naturally not considered a family.
Now more and more people secretly laugh at Old Chen. If she is not so partial, although Jiang He cannot work in the fields, he can always earn some money by doing some carpentry, not to mention Shunniang, who is now the female god of wealth in a radius of 800 miles... If the Jiang family does not split up, even if Jiang Ero studies until he is 70 or 80 years old, the Jiang family will not be poor.
Whether Old Chen regrets it or not, Little Chen does not know. She only knows that she hates Old Chen to death. She clearly said that she wanted to reunite with the family before, but Old Chen was a demon and was reluctant to spend the money for health care. She wanted to wait until Jiang He's leg was healed before talking about reunion. As a result, Shunniang is now very rich and lives a much better life than the second branch of the Jiang family. How can she still think about reunion?
Little Chen looked at the scars on her hands and cried. Last month, her husband came back and did not touch her. This month, he simply said that he was too busy with homework to come back. In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would go home to see... She knew that he did not want to see her ugly wife.
It's too difficult for her as a woman! There was too much work to do at home, and the mother-in-law became mean and vicious...
Xiao Chen once again experienced the disadvantages of being closely related to her mother-in-law. Her family was also her mother-in-law's family. Even if she went back to her family to cry, others would only think that it was a conflict between her own family, and her family would only tell her to respect her elders.
If she hadn't married her cousin... her family would definitely make the decision for her.
"Mom, I'll grow up soon." Erwa clumsily swept the floor with a broom, "When I grow up, I can work, and then you won't have to work so hard."
Xiao Chen hugged her youngest son, who was the only comfort in her hard days. The eldest son had been spoiled, and only the second son...
It had been more than a month since the last setback. Although Xiao Chen remembered Jiang He's backing - the women in the whole village were still in fear, she had to make plans for her son.
Erwa was so filial and smart, he must be a promising person.
***
"You want to adopt Erwa to Da'o?" Old Chen jumped up in anger. What kind of mother is this? She actually wants to adopt her own son.
"No, I want to wait for Erwa to get married in the future and adopt his future children." Little Chen racked her brains and finally came up with this idea. "Mom, although I don't know how much money Da's family has earned, I heard from the villagers that they eat meat every day, so the family must be rich... As long as Da'o agrees to support our Erwa to go to school, when Erwa passes the high school entrance examination, he will be the heir of both houses, and the children born in the second house will be adopted by Da'o."
Old Chen looked at the well-behaved Erwa. This is a good idea. Da'o and Erwa should both be able to start learning, but the family does not have enough money, and Er'o's education alone must be calculated carefully.
If Da'o is willing to send Erwa to school, it is also a good idea to be the heir of both houses.
The eldest child jumped out angrily, "No!"
"Why?"
"Don't think I don't know what it means to marry two wives at the same time." The eldest child looked at his mother angrily, knowing that mothers are partial to the younger one, grandma is like this, mother is also like this, "I also want to marry two wives, mother you are too partial, only caring about the younger brother."
Little Chen was so angry that she fell backwards, "You are the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, the pillar of the Jiang family! It is your responsibility to continue the Jiang family, do you know what it means to marry two wives at the same time? This is not about marrying two wives!"
Old Chen was unhappy, "Fourth mother, why are you so mean to the eldest child? The eldest child, your mother is right, as the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, you have to ensure the stability and continuation of the Jiang family, so you can only choose the second child..."
"I don't care!" The eldest child was angry, "I only know that the second child can eat meat and candy with the eldest uncle every day in the future, and I also want to eat meat every day..."
Mrs. Chen couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him on the butt, "You only care about eating. Didn't you hear the point? The point is to study! Do you think I want Erwa to be the heir of two houses for the sake of eating and drinking? I do this for his future. Do you know how precious it is to be a scholar? If Erwa doesn't study, he can only be a farmer who depends on the weather for his livelihood!"
The eldest child shuddered. He suddenly recalled the treatment of his uncle and his father. If Erwa can study in the future and he can't, will he be like his uncle in the future, with no one paying attention to him even if he has a lame leg? Then the whole family will revolve around Erwa... What's worse, mother will think that Erwa is more promising and divide the Jiang family to Erwa, just like the previous division of the family, when the uncle was almost left with nothing...
"I want to study!" The eldest child screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "I want to be adopted too!"
***
Jiang He looked at the two children who were dressed neatly. The arrogant look in the eldest child's eyes remained the same, but Erwa had changed a little.
Then look at the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who all look like "You are so lucky to adopt Erwa's descendants"...
Jiang He feels that he has underestimated their thick skin.
Erwa hasn't been to the mountain for a long time, but he remembers the old house. It was almost in ruins before, but now it is brand new and beautiful. The problem that has never been solved has come up again.
Isn't it said that women are all money-losing goods? How can the aunt lose money when she makes so much money? And as a precious boy, he has to worry about not having food to eat in the future and beg the aunt to accept him. Who is the money-losing goods?
"That's impossible." Jiang He refused. Looking at the little Chen who became dry, thin and black, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It must be her idea, but since she can come up with this idea, you can imagine how miserable her life is.
"Why?" Old Chen wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare. The densely packed villagers standing at the door stared at her covetously, as if they could rush in and tear her to pieces at the command of the eldest son.
How much money did Shunniang help them earn that made the villagers like dogs smelling bones.
"Shunniang and I went to see a doctor. The doctor said that Shunniang didn't have any movement after giving birth to Erniang because her body was too weak." Jiang He sneered, "The doctor also said that Shunniang is taking good care of herself now, and there will be good news soon."
Little Chen felt dizzy. How could it be possible?
But why is it impossible? People in their forties can still give birth, and Shunniang is only in her twenties.
Old Chen didn't say anything. The eldest son's implication was very obvious. He was blaming her for being too harsh on the eldest wife in the past. Shunniang worked too hard and lost her body...
Old Chen wanted to defend herself. Which mother-in-law in the village doesn't make things difficult for her daughter-in-law? Which mother-in-law doesn't manage the household carefully? How could she let her daughter-in-law eat as much as she wants?
Jiang He didn't want to pay attention to Old Chen. Anyway, he had the upper hand in public opinion. Old Chen wanted to use filial piety to clamp him? He didn't need to speak in person. There were many water troops spraying her to doubt her life.
The villagers looked at the old and young Chens with contempt. They were so shameless. No wonder they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! Look at this eldest grandson who is clamoring to be adopted. He is a scholar. What kind of education is this!
Young Chen held Erwa's hand tightly, and felt that life was extremely dark. When would this day end...
Facing the murderous eyes of the villagers, the old and young Chens dragged their two grandsons away in disgrace.
"Fourth Mother, the family of Dao is unreliable." Old Chen sighed. The eldest son was really cold-hearted to her. If resentment is also a kind of emotion, the eldest son's attitude towards her is no different from that of a passerby... This son will really be dead in the future.
"Wait for Ero to pass the exam." Old Chen can only look forward to the success of her youngest son. "Only when Ero passes the exam can our family succeed. Then Dawa and Erwa will definitely have money to go to school."
Ah... It's autumn now. When should I wait for my husband to pass the exam? Little Chen was at a loss. Why do I feel so hard every day?
The eldest child went to play without a care in the world. It didn't matter that he was not adopted. His younger brother was not adopted either. There was a precedent between his grandmother and his mother. He had to be wary of their partiality!
***
Shun Niang held Jiang He's hand, fearing that he would be sad. "Husband, let's eat dry pot rabbit tonight. Can you go catch rabbits with the two daughters now?"
The two daughters ran over, looked up at Jiang He, and said softly, "Dad, we want to eat rabbits."
"Okay, go get the tools, let's go dig out the rabbit nest!" Jiang He didn't tell his wife and daughter that he was not sad. He was thinking about setting a trap for his dear younger brother. Xiao Chen was still too idle. It would be better for her to be busy so that she wouldn't always have bad thoughts.
A person's character will not change. Before the separation, Xiao Chen often instigated Lao Chen to deal with the eldest wife. Now he believes that Lao Chen wants to deal with the eldest wife, and Xiao Chen will definitely offer advice.
