Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens
Chapter 293 Jiang Cheng's Brother-in-law
Why do people have different fates? The girl across the street wears new clothes every day, is pretty and knows how to dress up, and rides a bicycle to go out, while her wife is lazy and greedy, and waits for her to serve her.
The Tian family's son was confused by the inexplicable anger and said angrily: "Mom, my wife and I work all year round. We finally have a holiday to rest. Can't we sleep a little longer? If you don't want to cook, forget it. I will do it myself..."
There was noise next door, but the Xiao family was bustling with activity.
There were also a few children of the same age as Ji Xincheng among the visitors. Their pockets were filled with candies and they were running around, laughing and making noises.
Ji Qinglan and Xiao Qing were sitting with Xiao's relatives. Xiao's aunt-in-law looked Ji Qinglan up and down. Apart from the fact that Ji Qinglan had an unhappy marriage and had a child, she couldn't find any other faults.
In terms of appearance, Ji Qinglan is extremely handsome; in terms of talent, he is a top student at a prestigious university.
Regarding family background, both parents sacrificed their lives for the country.
She had been to the countryside and was now an excellent student at a prestigious university. She was also liked by Xiao Yi and valued by Xiao Qing, so she couldn't find any fault with her.
Are you going to attack someone for getting married for the second time?
Their Xiao Yi is still an older bachelor, and he didn't get married until he was 30...
So, the Xiao family's aunt looked at Ji Qinglan and said with a smile: "Wife Ayi, Ayi is not young anymore, you have to give birth to a child as soon as possible to continue the Xiao family's lineage."
Ji Qinglan...
You died so early in the morning, why are you still thinking about passing on the family line?
The Xiao family has no throne, so there is no need to inherit.
Ji Qinglan smiled and said, "You are worrying too much, my dear. We have Shuyan in our family."
As the eldest son of the eldest house, Xiao Shuyan had long inherited the Xiao family heritage.
Since marrying Xiao Yi, Ji Qinglan has been taking the contraceptive medicine prescribed by Mr. Li because she has to study, and Xiao Yi also said frankly that they can talk about having children in a few years because Xincheng is still young.
In fact, no one knew that Xiao Yi didn't care whether he had children or not. In his opinion, he was so busy at work that his limited time was not enough to accompany his wife, so why would he have a child to take up their time together?
The Xiao family's aunt was stunned, and immediately felt that her nephew's wife was naughty and clever. Everyone gets married for the purpose of continuing the family line. No matter how prosperous one is now, a son is a source of support.
But Ji Qinglan didn't think so. Didn't she want to leave a descendant for Xiao Yi?
"Ayi's wife, your idea is wrong. Listen to me. Having many children brings happiness. When you and Ayi grow old, you will have sons and daughters-in-law to serve you."
Ji Qinglan's eyes widened, very surprised.
The young lady of the Xiao family actually has such thoughts. She has Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi has her. The young couple will be companions in old age, and they will go to the end together.
More children, more blessings? Waiting for the sons to discuss whether to remove the oxygen tube?
Xiao Qing couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she said, "Ayi is busy with work, and my sister-in-law is busy with school. There's no rush for the child."
Xiao Qing didn't have much expectations for the child. The Xiao family had Xiao Shuyan, and the Ji family had Ji Xincheng. If her brother didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.
In the past, she was worried that her brother would devote his whole life to one thing and never marry, but now her mind has changed. He is willing to marry Ji Qinglan because he likes her, not because Ji Qinglan can give him a son.
The young lady of the Xiao family had nothing to say. It was true that the emperor was not anxious at all, but the eunuchs were dying of anxiety.
Ah! Pah!
There were many relatives from the Xiao family and his uncle's family, and Ji Qinglan didn't know any of them. Xiao Qing had to accompany them, chatting with them while constantly looking at the time.
Jiang Cheng hasn't come yet, and she is a little worried.
Most of the guests have arrived. Some are touring the house, while others are gathering together to talk.
Finally, a car drove in through the side door again. Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to greet it.
Ji Qinglan and Xiao Yi stood together, watching the car drive in, feeling a little nervous. This legendary brother-in-law was finally going to reveal his true identity.
Until the car door opened and Jiang Cheng got out of the car.
The first sight that came to Ji Qinglan was majesty.
"Brother-in-law." Xiao Yi went to greet him, and Ji Qinglan also called out.
Jiang Cheng had a dignified look on his face, but he became amiable the moment he saw Xiao Yi. He nodded to Xiao Yi, then looked at Ji Qinglan and said gently, "I heard Xiao Qing mention my sister-in-law a long time ago, so I'm sorry for not coming here until today."
Jiang Cheng's voice was neither fast nor slow, steady and appropriate.
"Work is important. Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. Please take a seat." Ji Qinglan said.
Jiang Cheng walked in, and everyone at the table stood up to greet him.
Jiang Cheng raised his hand and said politely: "Thank you all for attending my brother's wedding banquet today. Please take a seat. We are all guests today."
After the guests were sent away, Jiang Cheng's family stayed behind, and Jiang Cheng and Xiao Yi went into the west study to talk.
Ji Qinglan and Xiao Qing saw off the Xiao family’s relatives before they had time to sit together and talk.
Xiao Qing talked about Xiao's aunt.
"My aunt is concerned about offspring, so you don't have to take it to heart." Xiao Qing said politely and tactfully, but her meaning was very clear.
You don't have to take it to heart, my nosy sister-in-law.
Ji Qinglan certainly understood, and served hot tea to Xiao Qingji, thanking him: "Thank you for today, elder sister, otherwise I wouldn't know many of the relatives in the Xiao family."
Xiao Qing briefly told Ji Qinglan about the relatives on both sides.
On the Xiao family side, Xiao's father has five brothers and sisters. The eldest uncle works in another city and his family follows him. The second uncle and his family work in Beijing and they all came here today.
Xiao's father's third son has passed away for many years. His fourth uncle lives in the east of the city and was unable to make it today because he was at work, so his eldest son and daughter-in-law came instead.
It was the Xiao family's younger sister who gave birth.
There were seven brothers and sisters on my mother's side, and four of them are still alive today.
The ones who came today were my eldest uncle and fifth uncle’s family, as well as my second uncle and sixth and seventh aunts.
Only a part of them came today. There are also cousins, and cousins from my uncle's side. If we list them one by one, the number of people will be too many.
So, in order to avoid meeting someone unfamiliar with them in the future, Ji Qinglan asked Xiao Qing to write down the relationships between the two families, and she slowly memorized them in her heart.
Two hours later, Jiang Cheng and Xiao Yi came out of the study. Xiao Qing and Ji Qinglan tacitly did not ask any further questions.
Before leaving, Xiao Qing agreed to let them come to her place for dinner on the third day of the New Year.
The house became quiet only after the two of them took Jiang Xu and Jiang Yan away.
Aunt Lian and the two masters also cleaned up. Ji Qinglan took out the red envelopes he had prepared earlier and filled them with candies.
"Thank you all for your hard work today. Thank you for your help."
The two masters held thick red envelopes in their hands and smiled widely.
"Okay, let's work together again if there's something like this in the future."
After the two left, Aunt Lian returned the red envelope to Ji Qinglan and said, "Comrade Ji, I can't take this red envelope. I have already received a salary."
Ji Qinglan pushed the red envelope back and said, "Aunt Lian, this is a thank you red envelope. It's given to you alone for your wedding, so don't refuse it. Thank you for your help these days. You've taken good care of the family. You don't have to come over tomorrow."
Hearing that she was not allowed to come, Aunt Lian was anxious and wanted to speak in a panic. Ji Qinglan said hurriedly, "I mean that the holiday starts tomorrow. You can come to work on the fifth day of the new year. Then I will raise your salary to thirty yuan."
The purse that Ji Qinglan gave to Aunt Lian was different. It contained ten yuan more than the two masters. She also gave this month's wages to Aunt Lian so that she could have a happy new year.
When Aunt Lian heard this, she was deeply touched that not only did she let her come to work after the new year, but she also gave her a raise.
She murmured, "Comrade Ji, that's too much. Twenty yuan is enough."
Who doesn't have so little spare money? Only Aunt Lian is so honest and fearful.
It was because she was conscientious and responsible in her work, and helped Ji Qinglan keep the house tidy and clean; Ji Qinglan saw all of this and was willing to increase her wages.
