Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 62: An honest person is not necessarily a good person
Both sisters-in-law advised her to accept the dowry money. Hu Qiongfang thought about what her daughter said and felt that it would be more cost-effective to turn the money into a storefront.
Seeing that their daughter had accepted the dowry, Grandma Hu and Grandpa Hu seemed to be relieved. Hu Qiongfang also took the opportunity to distribute the gifts she had brought.
Seeing that her daughter still remembered what she liked to eat after so many years, the wrinkles on Grandma Hu's face gathered together.
He also gave two big red envelopes to Jiang Tian and Jiang Cheng.
Hu Qiongfang also quickly took out the red envelopes she had prepared for her brother's children.
However, she was so excited that she didn't even calculate that she had been away from home for more than ten years. Nowadays, rural children who don't go to school generally get married early. The eldest daughter of her eldest brother got married last year.
Fortunately, my eldest brother’s youngest son and my second brother’s two children were at home.
Uncle Hu Jianguo's youngest son is called Hu Changming. He is three years older than Jiang Tian and is in the first year of high school. However, his grades are not as good as those of Jiang Lesheng, a natural academic master, so he was admitted to the county high school at the last place. His family plans to let him sign up for the army.
My second uncle also has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is called Hu Changsheng, who is two years older than Jiang Tian and is in the third year of junior high school.
The younger daughter, Hu Changmei, is the same age as Jiang Tian, but they both study in another township middle school in Yang Shuling. Although they are the same age, they are not classmates.
After Hu Qiongfang gave the red envelopes, the two aunts gave red envelopes to Jiang Tian and her brother.
If it weren't for the scorching sun outside, Jiang Tian almost thought it was Chinese New Year.
With kowtows and receiving red envelopes, it looks like Chinese New Year, doesn't it?
After another round of hustle and bustle, the family finally sat down.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward moment.
What are you saying?
Ask my daughter how she has been getting through these years?
Stop, stop!
When the Hu family thought about how Hu Qiongfang had worked like a slave for the Jiang family over the past decade or so, serving their entire family, they were so angry that their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys ached.
Instead of talking about the past, how about talking about future plans?
My second aunt Chen Xiaohong has always been considerate. She wanted to ask when she came back from the Jiang family, but she was too embarrassed to ask since they had just met at that time.
Now that Hu Qiongfang is back and her parents-in-law are around, Chen Xiaohong feels that she needs to ask this question.
"Fangfang, I heard that you rented out your land and are moving with your children to build a house next to the provincial road. Do you plan to do business there in the future?"
Is there such a thing?
Apparently, the eldest and second uncles did not tell Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu about this. When the two old people heard that their daughter and her mother were being bullied in the village and could not survive, they scolded the Jiang family again.
After scolding, I also felt distressed.
Especially Grandpa Hu, he has been doing business with his two sons and knows how chaotic the situation is near the provincial roads.
Not to mention anything else, just those local tyrants, if you offend them, they will come to collect protection fees every few days, and you will not be able to do any business.
Grandma Hu glanced at her two daughters-in-law, pursed her lips and said nothing.
I secretly thought that if it really didn't work out, I would let my daughter take the child and move in with them.
However, it was agreed when the family was divided that after she and her husband passed away, the old house and the homestead would be given to the two sons. Now that the daughters were to be allowed to come back to live, they had to give their daughters-in-law an explanation on how to deal with the house and the homestead.
Grandma Hu never treated her two daughters-in-law as outsiders.
She is very clear-headed and knows that they are old and cannot accompany their sons for the rest of their lives. The only ones who can accompany their sons for the rest of their lives are their respective wives.
The two sons would definitely have nothing to say about Hu Qiongfang, their biological sister, so Grandma Hu only needed to appease the emotions of her two daughters-in-law and let her daughter return to her parents' home safely.
As a result, before Grandma Hu could think of a way to appease her daughter-in-law, she heard her daughter say that she was not afraid that the gangsters near the provincial road would bully them because she had become sworn sisters with the gang leader's wife.
Grandma Hu: “…”
Is this still the silly girl whose mind is filled with love?
Seeing that her family members didn't believe her, Hu Qiongfang could only tell Jiang Tian that she happened to save Wang Chunjuan's daughter in the car. Then Wang Chunjuan asked her to cut off a chicken's head and burn yellow paper, and they became sworn sisters. But after they kowtowed, she found out that Wang Chunjuan had more than one sworn sister.
The sworn sister of the sworn sister, rounding off, is Hu Qiongfang's sworn sister.
"If it weren't for Sister Chunjuan and Brother-in-law taking care of me, I wouldn't have dared to move to the provincial road with Tiantian and Chengcheng to build a house."
"Dad, Mom, my daughter has grown up and now knows what is right and wrong."
These words made Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu feel sad.
Their Fangfang!
When she was at her mother's house, she was still a silly girl. How much did she suffer outside for herself to know what was good for her?
Everyone in the room felt a little heavy-hearted.
My aunt Jiang Xiuxiu has always been protective of her family. In short, her family can do nothing wrong. If they do, it must be someone else's fault.
So Jiang Xiuxiu started to curse the Jiang family again: "It's all their fault! Our Fangfang used to be so well-behaved and obedient at home."
Anyway, I will never become sworn sisters with people who are involved in gangs.
The sad atmosphere was instantly broken by my aunt.
Knowing that Hu Qiongfang had such an adventure, the Hu family felt a little more relieved.
To put it bluntly , these days, on the provincial roads, knowing the leader of a gang is much more useful than knowing the chief of a police station.
There are some things that the police station is not convenient to handle, so when you go to them, it’s just a matter of saying a word or giving them a greeting.
Hu Qiongfang took the opportunity to tell him that she wanted to open a noodle restaurant in the provincial road.
When Grandpa Hu heard that his daughter had already made plans for her future life, he nodded and expressed his appreciation for Hu Qiongfang's decision to take her two children and leave Liuzhutou Village.
He couldn't say bad things about their father in front of Jiang Tian and Jiang Cheng, but to be honest, the reason why didn't agree with Hu Qiongfang marrying Jiang Leping was not just because of his poor family conditions.
At that time, every household in the countryside was similar and life was difficult, so who could laugh at anyone?
Grandpa Hu looked down on Jiang Leping, mainly because he thought this young man was too weak and couldn't handle things.
In that era, rural people liked to look for honest men when looking for sons-in-law. Every time Grandpa Hu heard the word "honest man", he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
A grown man who wants to set up a household and make a living cannot just rely on being honest!
Is Jiang Leping honest enough?
Aren't you just a fool?
He is completely controlled by his own mother and brother.
He didn't think about managing his own family. He gave most of the money he earned to his mother, and he lived frugally to support his younger brother's schooling.
What happens in the end?
His mother held on to his money and would rather use it to buy nutritional supplements for her younger son than to send her own daughter to school.
Before Jiang Leping's body was cold, his younger brother took away all the family savings and separated from his eldest sister-in-law.
The Hu family can't afford such an "honest man", hum~
