half-baked life

Chapter 40: Asking Jiang He by name to be his daughter-in-law!

"Jie Fang is back. Just in time, this is your lucky money, take it!"

As soon as Zhang Jiefang entered the door, Liang Xiujing handed over the red envelope. She seemed to be frightened and waved her hands at Liang Xiujing in a panic, "Grandma, please stop joking. How old am I? How can I ask for lucky money?" "

"How old are you? In this family, you are the second to last one... Come on, take it!"

Liang Xiujing stretched her hand forward again. Zhang Jiefang glanced at Jiang Xiaoping in confusion. Jiang Xiaoping smiled and winked at her, and she dared to reach out.

"Thank you, grandma." Zhang Jiefang clutched the red envelope with both hands, her whole body obviously a little nervous.

This is the first time since she was born that someone has given her lucky money.

When Zhang Jiefang was a child, her family was poor and there were many children. It was difficult to have a full meal. When she was no longer so poor, she was no longer "qualified" to receive New Year's money. In two years, she became the one who handed out New Year's money. people.

"Xiaoping said you won't go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year this year, so do you want to spend it with us?" Liang Xiujing asked with a smile.

Zhang Jiefang's expression was a bit awkward. Jiang Xiaoping saw it and immediately helped her out, "Why is Jiefang staying with us? Jiwen has already come back from vacation, right?"

"Oh, okay, then go back quickly, don't delay your family's New Year celebration."

"Hey, I'll leave now. See you later in the year."

But before Zhang Jiefang left, she handed over the deposit given by Zhang Enmin to Jiang Xiaoping. Jiang Xiaoping asked her to take it first, but Zhang Jiefang refused, "We are in the same family, how can you give me the money back?"

"Okay, then leave it here with me first. After the New Year, we can discuss the specific division together, okay?"

Zhang Jiefang nodded and just went out with the things she had packed in the morning. Jiang He called her and stopped her. Zhang Jiefang immediately stopped nervously and glanced at Jiang He with obvious guilt.

"Aunt Jiefang, you forgot to take this." Jiang He handed the bag containing the taro purple down jacket to her, "I wish you a happy New Year in advance!"

"Hey, happy, you are happy too."

"...Did you talk about her at Zhang Enmin's place?" Jiang Xiaoping naturally noticed Zhang Jiefang's abnormality and asked Jiang He as soon as they left.

"How is this possible? Did something happen to Aunt Jiefang at home? I think she has had quite heavy dark circles under her eyes these days." Jiang He also said thoughtfully, but neither of them had a clue. Zhang Jiefang did not He is not a person who likes to talk about his own affairs.

Zhang Jiefang waited on the side of the road for nearly 20 minutes before she got the bus home. There were no other passengers on the bus, she was the only one, but it was more lively than her home. After all, there was a driver.

"If I don't go back, I can't even take a shower in that wretched place. I'd like to freeze my butt off when I pee. What would I do if I go back? I won't bear the blame!"

Tang Jiwen has never been back to his hometown since he went to college. Zhang Jiefang was worried about him being alone, so naturally he couldn't go back. This year, Tang Jiwen finally relented and agreed to go back with her. Tang Yaocan also yelled when he heard that no one was waiting for him. I want a piece back.

Zhang Jiefang bought all the train tickets for the three of them, but Tang Jiwen had only stayed for three days after returning from vacation and was about to leave. She said she was going to Aranya to celebrate the New Year with her friends. "My friend is treating me to a treat, I won't ask for money from you!" Tang Jiwen said angrily before Zhang Jiefang could say anything, and then added guiltily, "When can I not go back to my hometown? I haven't been back for so many years, so it doesn't matter if I am a year late. .”

"You can't always ask others to invite you. You still have to come and go." Zhang Jiefang said and transferred 2000 yuan to Tang Jiwen. "If it's not enough, tell me again."

I thought that this money could be exchanged for a smile from Tang Jiwen as usual, but this time Tang Jiwen just curled his lips, lazily replied "I know", and walked out with his suitcase without looking back. He opened the door and slammed the security door shut.

"Did you say something to your son?" Zhang Jiefang looked at the shaking door panel and turned to question Tang Yaocan, who was lying on the sofa with a lewd smile.

Tang Yaocan, who was enjoying watching the dancing live broadcast of beautiful women, rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Are you fucking sick, Zhang Jiefang? You have such a bad idea, who dares to say...Are you fucking menopausal?"

He was obviously in a good mood, and he didn't curse endlessly as usual. He stretched out his hand and pulled his crotch, and cleared his throat, "What, let me tell you something, you can go back to your hometown alone this year. I will accompany my girlfriend to her house to meet her parents tomorrow. We have almost settled our matters. I estimate that I will be able to get the certificate on May Day next year at the latest, and then she will move in with me."

"You dare?" Zhang Jiefang kicked the coffee table where Tang Yaocan was standing. The marble coffee table that the two grown men carried upstairs was moved by her kick, causing the floor to creak.

"If you dare to let those messy women move in, I won't know where to kick you next."

Her gaze was like steel between Tang Yaocan's legs, "Tang, if you don't believe it, just give it a try."

"Try...just try, what's wrong with you? You really think I'm afraid of you, I...I don't care about you!"

Tang Yaocan was so frightened that he immediately closed his legs and jumped up from the sofa as if he had been kicked. He covered his crotch and retreated to his room with small steps, but his mouth was harder than that damn duck.

"Zhang Jiefang, let me say it again, this is not your house alone. I own half of it. Whoever I want can live in it. You have no control over it! And... also, you'd better pay for the mortgage as soon as possible. I'll take care of it. If you destroy this house, I...I'll definitely sue you and send you to jail!"

After saying this, he hid in the house in a hurry, and took his luggage with him that night, lest Zhang Jiefang would really kick him to death.

Zhang Jiefang originally thought that if this was the case, she might as well go back alone, but her second brother suddenly had a seizure and called to say that a great fairy said that there might be a bloody disaster in Jiayuan next year, and if he wanted to break it, he had to find a wife quickly. There are also strict requirements for your birth date and horoscope.

"Second brother, you are a high school student after all. Do you still believe this?" Zhang Jiefang felt ridiculous after hearing this.

"This kind of thing is 'I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist'. As a human being, you have to have a sense of awe. You can't just look at money!"

Hearing what her second brother said, Zhang Jiefang couldn't help but roll her eyes. About seven or eight years ago, her second brother wanted to spend 50 yuan to buy her apartment. At that time, the lowest market price of the house was 260 million yuan.

"50 is quite a lot. This is what our family has made by selling iron and steel... How can our family be so clear about what the market price is? This is all for Jiayuan's future consideration, Jie Fang, don't forget it. , you are her aunt!"

"I'm still Tang Jiwen's biological mother!" Zhang Jiefang immediately shouted back at her, making her second brother so angry that she didn't say a word to her for several years.

The matter of finding a daughter-in-law to overcome the disaster originally had nothing to do with Zhang Jiefang, but her mother inexplicably felt that the girls in her hometown were not worthy of her precious grandson, so she had to ask Zhang Jiefang to help introduce her only daughter. Later, The only daughter was no longer good, so the second brother asked Jiang He by name to be his daughter-in-law!
