Chapter 402: Stepfather is also a father
"Mom~Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't get the silver, my mom kicked me out."
Jiang Sanhe's back was straight at her mother's house, but it bent instantly when she returned home.
Even though she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Sun family.
I am still afraid of my mother-in-law.
"What? You didn't get it? Why did you come back without the money?" Zhou Xiufen was furious.
She threw away the rag in her hand and glared at Jiang Sanhe fiercely.
"Grandma, I'm hungry. My grandmother's house is not good at all. They don't give me meat or cakes. I hate them. Grandma, I want to eat egg custard and meat. Can you make them for me?"
Without waiting for Zhou Xiufen to start scolding, Sun Guangzong, whose stomach was growling with hunger, hugged her legs and started to act coquettishly.
"What? It's already this late and my dear grandson hasn't even eaten yet? Pah—" Zhou Xiufen slapped Jiang Sanhe in the face.
"Look at what you have done. You can't even do such a small thing. What can you do? I asked you to go and get the money, but you didn't get any. Not only did you let my sweet grandson starve. If he gets hurt by hunger, I will never forgive you!"
Jiang Sanhe, knowing she was in the wrong, didn't dare to say a word after being beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law.
"I'll settle the score with you later, my dear grandson. Come on, let grandma cook for you. There's still some porridge left in the pot. Have some first."
There is no meat at home.
Zhou Xiufen could only take out the only two eggs in the cupboard.
Make it into egg custard.
Seeing that there was no meat, Sun Guangzong pouted his lips and said, "Grandma, where is the meat? Why is there no meat? My grandmother's family cooked meat, I want to eat it too."
"My dear grandson, make do with what you have. It's all your mother's fault. Otherwise, you would have been full of meat. Your mother is so incompetent. She pities our son. He is still hungry during the New Year. What a waste! Go and chop the firewood in the backyard."
There is a world of difference between the way Zhou Xiufen talks to her grandson and the way she talks to Jiang Sanhe.
Since her grandson was weaned, Jiang Sanhe's food supply has plummeted.
As a result, she became skin and bones.
The skin on his face is flabby and makes him look very old.
Mr. Sun was too lazy to touch her.
Of course I won't help her.
"I got it, Mom. I'll go now." It was cold and the firewood was frozen hard.
Jiang Sanhe was in the snow, holding up an axe and chopping the snow piece by piece.
The moment the axe chopped down, the force was reflected back.
Jiang Sanhe's hands were numb from the shock, but in fact the family had no shortage of firewood.
It was just that Zhou Xiufen wanted to teach her a lesson.
Jiang Sanhe began to resent her mother.
Zhang Jinlan didn't know, she was having lunch with her family.
"My dear granddaughter, come here. You asked for the braised pork. Grandma cooked it into a paste. It must be delicious if you eat it with rice. Try it."
She said with squinting eyes as she picked up a piece of braised pork with more lean meat for Jiang Fubao.
"Thank you, grandma. Wow, it's delicious. Grandma's cooking skills are the best. No wonder my cooking is so delicious. It turns out that I am just like grandma."
Jiang Fubao started to flatter him.
Zhang Jinlan, who was in a bad mood, was coaxed into smiling happily.
Without Jiang Sanhe, the troublemaker.
The house was filled with laughter.
Jiang Zhuzi, who brought his son to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings, also had dinner at his stepfather's house.
"We ate late today, so you must be hungry. Come, Kang'er, have a piece of meat and see if grandpa's cooking is delicious." Zhou Changgu picked up a piece of fat and lean meat for Jiang Kang.
Jiang Kang was very happy.
"Well, okay, let's eat." Jiang Fubao took him to play with the children in the village.
Jiang Kang's personality has become more lively.
"Oh, Kang'er is talking now. That's good. You should talk more in the future. You are always silent. Your grandma and your dad are worried about you."
Zhou Changgu widened his eyes.
This was the first time he heard his grandson speak.
He thought that this cheap grandson was a mute fool.
His wife is worried and he misses her too.
When he heard Jiang Kang speak, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
So is Liu Xianger.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, okay, it's good that you've spoken. Our Kang'er is not a fool, not a fool..."
"Alright, why are you crying on New Year's Day? Kang'er will definitely become more and more like a normal person in the future. Don't worry. Just wait for him to grow up, get married, and give you a great-grandson. Jiaojiao, you should eat meat too. Jiaojiao likes to eat lean meat. Daddy will get rid of the fat for you."
After coaxing his wife, he started to pick up food for his daughter.
Zhou Changgu felt extremely happy.
A few years ago, he was still a bachelor.
Now I have a wife and a daughter.
Life is complete.
Jiang Zhuzi on the side looked at them with some envy.
"Son, are you still thinking about that bitch? She's gone, so don't think about her anymore. Even if she comes back in the future, we can't keep her. I understand that a simple life is the real life. I asked you to marry someone who could make a living, but you refused and insisted on marrying her. Look, her appearance shows that she is not someone who can live a peaceful life.
I just feel sorry for you and Kang'er. How about, after the New Year, your father and I can pool our money and find you a new wife? Kang'er can't be without a mother, right? A stepmother is still a mother, but you must choose a good one, not one with bad character, and she must be good to our Kang'er."
When Liu Xianger said this, she glanced at Zhou Changgu.
Seeing that he looked uncertain, he continued.
"Mom, I don't want to get married. Life at home is hard, and if I marry someone, she will suffer with me. Forget it. Now I just want to bring Kang'er up peacefully, save some money, and find him a wife. I will be satisfied. As for me, let it be."
Jiang Zhuzi shook his head.
Refused.
"Forget it, it's up to you. When you leave, give him two taels of silver. When he saves up enough money, he'll give it back to you. How can you live without land? You can just rent some land to grow crops, so you can buy some land, or do some small business. Don't go against the Jiang family like mother did. You have to listen to the clan leader, okay?"
Liu Xianger, who married for the second time, felt loved.
The whole person has changed.
The hostility disappeared and tenderness appeared in his eyes.
She lives a happy life now, and the only thing she can't let go of is her son and grandson.
"Okay, I'll get it later." Zhou Changgu was not unhappy at all, he agreed immediately.
Although there are still three taels of silver left in the family.
But there’s nothing wrong with giving it to a cheaper son.
As for money, if you lose it, you can just earn it again.
As long as my wife is happy.
Zhou Changgu thought to himself.
"I don't want it, mother. I can't take your and father's money. My sister is so young and you have to support her. It's hard for you to live. I will do more odd jobs and earn more. I will definitely not let Kang'er starve. Don't worry."
Jiang Zhuzi waved his hands repeatedly and refused to take it.
"Okay, since your mother has decided this, she must have thought it through. Just accept it. Your body won't be able to handle doing odd jobs all the time."
Zhou Changgu went into the house to get the silver without waiting for him to refuse.
When the father and son left Zhoujia Village.
Jiang Zhuzi had two taels of silver in his arms. He was holding his son's hand with his right hand and carrying a bamboo basket in his left hand.
There are meat and vegetables left over from today's meal in it.
