Chapter 691: In-laws are one family
Chapter 691: In-laws are one family
"What do you mean it's raining? I mean your third daughter Pingmei, didn't she marry into Jiangjia Village? Didn't you go to see her? Jiangjia Village is so rich now, all thanks to your in-laws, didn't your in-laws think about helping your family? They say in-laws are a family, why are you so distant with each other?
I have money but I don't think about you. If I were you, I would beg for some help for my family. A little money flowing out of their fingers would be enough for your family to live for a lifetime. "Hearing her words, He Xinghua's face looked a little ugly, and her loose face tightened a little.
Why didn't she look for her daughter? She had been to Sunjia Village many times, and also went to the shops in the town and Jiang's house to look for her daughter.
However, the daughter's heart was as hard as iron. Not only did she not support her younger brothers and sisters, she even didn't want to call her mother when she saw her.
Not to mention her in-laws, she was so fawning and polite, but Jiang Shoujia didn't even look at them.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Therefore, her tone became even worse.
"What does it have to do with you? If you want to find someone, why don't you go find him? My family's life is not that hard. If I don't find him, my daughter will be married off to someone else. I can't do such a thing as begging for money. It's not like I can't afford to live. My family can't do such a shameful thing."
These words sound very arrogant, but only He Xinghua and Sun Mugen know how guilty he really is.
"You don't know that Zhoujia Village has also started to grow medicinal herbs. Even if you don't think about your own family, you have to think about us. We are all from the same village. Can you let Zhoujia Village next door surpass us? Can you swallow this breath in your heart?
Xinghua, why don't you go to Jiangjia Village? It's autumn harvest time now, and Village Chief Jiang must be here. I seemed to see a little girl sitting in the Jiang family's carriage yesterday. She should be the young divine doctor Jiang. She's a girl, so you can say nice things to her and she's easy to coax. Tell her that we in Sunjia Village can also grow herbs together. We don't need to ask them for help, but just let us grow herbs like Zhoujia Village. When the herbs are ripe, she will buy them from us at the same price."
"Yes, He, you two should go there, just think of it as for us. Don't worry, if this is successful, I will take charge of the rice in your field. We will help you harvest it together with the whole village. We promise not to let you get tired. You just need to stay at home and rest comfortably. We will help you with the tillage. Is that ok?"
"Isn't your second grandson looking for a girl? If this goes through, all the girls in the town will beg to marry you. Why bother marrying someone from the village? Maybe the dowry alone will be higher than the betrothal gift, and you can get a wife for free."
"Sister Xinghua, you've made such a tiring trip. Come, come, have a drink of water. You must be tired. If you ask me, you should take the children with you. Isn't your granddaughter about the same age as the young doctor? They can become close friends after just a few words. With her around, this will definitely work out. Maybe she can even get other benefits in the future."
"..."
No one knew who took the lead, but the people in Sunjia Village began to flatter the couple and even instigated them to go to Jiangjia Village. Some people also offered suggestions to increase the chances of success.
The couple were praised so highly that their hearts began to swell.
They had completely forgotten about the humiliation they had suffered at the hands of the Jiang family.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my face. Well, never mind. We are from the same village. I will just help you. My husband and I will make a trip for you. But what about the crops in the field?"
Sun Mugen deliberately acted in an awkward manner, so how could the villagers not see what he meant?
However, since I had something to ask of him, I could only pretend to be attentive and take the sickle from his hand.
The couple originally wanted to take their whole family to Jiangjia Village, but they were afraid that the villagers would steal their rice, so they left their second son behind to look after them.
This defensive look made the people in Sunjia Village curse in their hearts.
But I dare not say it out loud.
Sun Mugen walked away with his family in a swagger.
For the first time, he felt how great it was to have a good relative-in-law. He had never enjoyed being admired by others, and at this moment, his vanity reached its peak.
At that time, Jiang Fubao was supervising the medicinal fields with his grandfather.
"Aunt Qiu, please be gentle. If you dig like this, the roots will break and they will be worthless. I can't charge you the original price."
"Grandma Yun, please put the herbs in the basket. If you put them on the ground, they will be accidentally stepped on. If they are crushed, I won't take them."
"Xiao Cui, why are you sitting on the ground? Be careful or your mother will scold you when you get back. Here, I'll give you a leaf to cushion your butt. Don't sit for too long or you'll catch a cold."
Jiang Fubao talked as he walked.
Everyone in the medicine field gave her this face.
Who made her the God of Wealth who gives away money?
"Fubao, are you tired? Go home and have a rest. I'll take care of this here." Jiang Shoujia said from the side.
"I'm not tired, Grandpa. But you should go back and have some rest. You got up so early in the morning. I guess you didn't sleep well."
Jiang Fubao had a worried look on his face.
During the autumn harvest, the villagers get up early and go to the fields before daybreak.
When Grandpa heard Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng getting up, he couldn't sleep either, so he got up too.
She was sleeping very soundly, and if Jiang Cheng hadn't told her, she probably wouldn't have known.
"Okay, then Grandpa, go back and lie down for a while. Come back in 25 minutes for dinner."
Jiang Shoujia indeed didn't sleep well.
He walked towards home.
However, as soon as they arrived at the door of their house, they saw a group of uninvited guests. "Oh, my dear, you are at home. I was thinking that if you were not here, I would go to the town to visit you." He Xinghua's voice came before she even came over.
As they were far away, Jiang Shoujia couldn't see her face clearly. He could only see it clearly when Sun Jia came closer.
Then a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Without thinking, you know why the Sun family came. Either they want to take money from you, or they want to take money from you again.
Anyway, it can't be because of anything else. They won't leave without getting some benefits.
Jiang Shoujia didn't even bother to reply and just turned around and went in.
"Bang——" He closed the door quickly.
The Sun family was turned away.
"Oh, why is the door still closed? Dear relative, please open the door. I have something to tell you. Open the door quickly. We are relatives after all. How can you not even let us in? Is there such a way of treating guests in the world?" He Xinghua was very unhappy, but did not dare to curse.
If the Jiang family is completely offended, then what we want will be hopeless.
"Didn't someone just say that his little granddaughter is back? Why don't we go find his granddaughter? She's probably in the medicinal field. Let's go and check it out." Sun Mugen was not as stupid as her. He just kept knocking on the door outside.
If someone knew how to open the door, they wouldn't have closed it just now.
