Chapter 199 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred
After seeing the storage room designed by Jiang Tian for the He family's elders, not to mention the He family's relatives, even Grandma Hu felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Tian quietly hugged Grandma Hu's arm, leaned close to the old lady's ear, and whispered to comfort her -
"Grandma, don't be jealous. I forgot to tell you that I ordered the same furniture for you and grandpa."
"When our new house in Nanqiao Village is finished, you and grandpa will enjoy it."
Grandma Hu raised her head proudly: "I'm so busy at the factory that I don't even have time to drink water. How can I have time to fiddle with these broken things?"
Storage?
It's because I have no money that I have to hide things every day.
She is now a wealthy person with a monthly income of one hundred thousand, so why is she still saving those old clothes and scraps of cloth?
There is more money in the bank account than I can spend, so if my family needs something, can’t I just buy it?
Is it really necessary to be so stingy and picky about collecting it?
"Really?" Jiang Tian smiled maliciously and kindly reminded Grandma Hu:
"I wrote to Aunt He last time. I heard that there are a lot of good furs in the border areas, and the prices are cheaper than here. I want to ask her to help buy a few good fur coats. This thing can't be folded up and stuffed into your camphorwood box. Are you sure you don't want this storage cabinet for hanging clothes?"
Grandma Hu: “!!!”
These little spendthrifts, the family has only been earning money for less than two years, and yet they even bought fur coats for them?
However, thinking about the fact that she can wear the fur coat that only rich landlords could afford during the Chinese New Year this year and go back to the village to visit relatives and have a drink, Grandma Hu has already been thinking about how to maintain her fur coat.
Coming out of the storage room, the southeast corner is the master bedroom of the He family’s two elders.
The master bedroom of this era, even in the city, mostly consists of a bed, a large wardrobe with a mirror, and a desk.
But when they walked into the master bedroom of the He family’s elderly couple, the He family’s relatives were almost unable to take their eyes off them.
There is no "large wardrobe with mirror". After entering the room, facing the wall is a 1.8-meter-high bed, plus two bedside tables directly embedded in the wall.
On one side of the bed, there is a cabinet that takes up an entire wall. When you open the cabinet door, you will find two dressing mirrors hidden on the back!
This row of cabinets also goes directly to the roof, with storage compartments reserved for quilts. They are used to store seasonal bedding, bed sheets, and quilt covers.
The middle layer is for stacking clothes, and the bottom is the hanging area.
There is a "mechanism" inside this cabinet.
It was difficult to see clearly from the outside, so Jiang Tian asked the master craftsman to make him an invisible door. He pried open a movable wooden board and found a built-in iron cabinet with two heavy locks hanging on it.
As a businessman, it is inevitable to keep some cash at home. It is not safe to leave it at the counter, so Jiang Tian made such a hidden "safe" for the two elders.
In this way, the two elders can buy two big locks, lock the safe, and each of them keeps a key. When opening it, both of them must be present at the same time to use the key to unlock it.
She also made the same design in her own home and at the homes of her uncles.
However, there is no need to tell this to the He family’s relatives.
On the other side of the bed, next to the window, a built-in desk and bookcase was built directly against the wall.
There is a double-seater desk under the windowsill. Although it is called a desk, if the two elders don’t like reading, they can draw a shoe shape, play chess or something like that here.
The "bookcases" on both sides were also converted by Jiang Tian into display cabinets with glass sliding doors, and several bottles of fine wine were placed inside.
Grandpa He looked at the remaining cabinets with satisfaction and thought that next time his daughters and sons-in-law brought him wine, they wouldn't have to hide it under the bed.
"Huh? Why is there a glass door here?"
Someone discovered the toilet in the corner.
Open the glass door and you'll find a modern shower room inside!
Jiang Tian couldn't find tempered glass, and didn't dare to use ordinary glass, so she could only make a row of shower curtains for the shower room.
There is a toilet installed in the bathroom. Not only does it have a toilet, but there are also handrails on both sides of the toilet that can move up and down!
Jiang Tian walked over and showed the two elders of the He family the decoration details that she had tortured the master craftsman for a long time to make.
"Look, grandpa and grandma, the tiles under the shower room are non-slip. I had this shower stool installed on the wall. When not in use, put it away so it doesn't take up space. When you take a shower, put it down and sit on it so you don't slip easily."
"As for this toilet, I heard from the doctor that when people get older, they tend to feel dizzy and vertigo when they get up from the toilet. Next time you get up from the toilet, you can put down these two handrails, stand up with the handrails, and wait until your eyes are no longer blurry before getting up to flush the toilet."
"This is where you wash your face. Look, I had two rows of towel racks built on the wall. You two can each take one of each to avoid quarrels if you take the wrong towel."
"There is also this mirror. Look, there is a cabinet next to it that can be opened. You can put some unopened toothpaste, soap, etc. in it. You can take it out when you are done with it. You don't have to look for it everywhere."
…
Every time Jiang Tian said something, the two elders of the He family smiled a little more. The envious and jealous eyes of others almost poked the two elders into a hornet's nest.
How can this be a money-losing product?
This was clearly a little lucky star that fell from the sky, and with a plop, it landed right into the arms of the two old guys from the He family!
The fifth aunt of the He family became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She looked at Jiang Tian's cute and pretty face, her eyes rolling around for a while, and suddenly she laughed and said -
"No wonder my second brother and his wife often praise you in front of us, saying that you are so beautiful and filial."
"If you ask me, such a beautiful and capable granddaughter should find a good husband as soon as possible. Don't delay it, otherwise the good ones will be picked by others."
The fifth aunt pushed others away with a smile on her face, held Jiang Tian's hand tightly, and enthusiastically recommended her nephew from her natal family.
From what she said, she has more than one nephew on her mother's side, but several.
If you are good at studying, you will definitely become a cadre in the future.
Either you are honest and capable, with plenty of strength, so that you can help your mother-in-law's family with physical work in the future.
Of course, the above-mentioned people were probably just pulled out by her as a “control group”.
It is said that the person that Fifth Aunt really wants to "strongly recommend" is her own grandson, who is very handsome. Although he did not get into technical secondary school, he is now in high school. He works hard and vows to get into university and bring honor to the family.
"Tiantian, I know that girls nowadays like boys with good academic performance. My grandson is always among the top ten in his class in his school. The teacher said that as long as he works hard, he has a good chance of getting into college."
"How about I ask him to come back next week so you can meet him?"
