Chapter 480: Jiang Shubao's Deception
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why is my son being tortured? If you women keep talking nonsense, I will tear you to pieces!"
Old Mrs. Jiang came out from the back and just heard a few village women chirping crickets behind her. She was so angry that she wanted to throw the apples she was holding at them.
"Oh, who was I thinking was that angry? It's Shubao's mom! Well, you're older, I won't argue with you! Otherwise, you'll blackmail me if something goes wrong!"
"Yeah! The Jiang family picked up a rotten sesame seed and lost a big watermelon. They must be in a bad mood. The old lady is already old, and she is still worried about the old housekeeper. It's not easy! Let's stop talking and go!"
The few women who were watching the fun were not easy to deal with. After being angrily scolded by Old Lady Jiang, they did not stop talking immediately. Instead, they exchanged a few sarcastic remarks with each other before leaving in embarrassment.
"you……"
Old Mrs. Jiang grabbed an apple from the basket and threw it hard in the direction where the people were leaving.
With a loud bang, a big red apple fell to the ground and the flesh splattered everywhere.
"Mom...what's wrong with you? Why are you throwing apples for no reason? These are for the third brother's family to use when they move into their new house."
The eldest daughter-in-law, Ji Ermei, ran over from the back road with a big bunch of red tulips in her arms. Seeing that Old Mrs. Jiang's face was ashen and she threw away the apples in the basket, she felt a little puzzled.
"It's okay! I just saw a few dogs biting people. Where's the second son's wife? Why are you the only one here?"
When Old Mrs. Jiang turned around, she only saw the eldest son's wife holding a bouquet of flowers, but the second son's wife was nowhere to be seen.
"Fengying! She went to the bathroom and said she'll be back soon!"
Ji Ermei took a step forward, took Old Lady Jiang's arm and walked forward.
"What a lazy person! She always dawdles when I ask her to do something!"
Old Mrs. Jiang scolded her second son's wife as she walked.
"Oh! One apple is missing, so the numbers are out of whack. Eldest son's wife, go to Wu Gui's fruit stall and buy him another apple. Remember, pick one that's a bit redder. Also, run quickly, don't delay the auspicious time for the third son to move into his new house."
When the two of them were almost at the gate of the third brother's yard, Old Mrs. Jiang remembered that there was one apple missing from the basket. There were originally six, but she threw them away impulsively, so now there are only five left.
"Oh...ok mom, I'll go check on Angkor's house right away."
Ji Ermei took a few quick steps and placed the roses in her hand at the gate of the third brother's yard.
Then he hurried to Wu Gui's house.
As she ran, she complained, "I only bought six apples, and you threw them at me! And you told me to run faster, but how can I run faster in my high heels? The third brother's family is moving into a new house, and you're planning to make me, the eldest daughter-in-law, run my legs off!"
"Hui Xin is really something. She came back late for the move-in. If Shu Yue was here, she would have taken care of everything by herself. We just need to come and sit down to eat. It's really not possible for the third brother to get a wife later."
Beep... beep...
Ji Ermei was complaining when she suddenly heard several beeps of car horns.
When I looked up, it was the third brother's broken van.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going? Have mom and brother come to my new house yet?"
Jiang Shubao stopped the car, stuck his head out of the window and asked.
"I'm going to Angkor's house to buy apples for you. Where else can I go?"
"Mom is at your new house, and your eldest and second brothers are still at the old house preparing lunch. Third brother! I'm not saying anything to you, but you've just moved into a new house, and your family has all the free time to come on time, while others are running around!"
Ji Ermei glanced at Hui Xin who was sitting in the passenger seat, complained a few words, and hurried away.
The most important thing now is to buy apples. If I delay the auspicious time for the third family to join the family, Mrs. Jiang will fight with me.
"What does your sister-in-law mean? Does that mean we don't have to clean up the place we rent? Did I make her run around like crazy? She doesn't have to do it if she doesn't want to! It's just a move to a new house, right? Why so many rules?"
Hui Xin originally disliked living in the countryside. If Jiang Shubao hadn't said that he had built a villa with a yard, she really wouldn't have come so happily.
"My sister-in-law has always been like this, Huixin, don't be angry. She doesn't live in Daxi Village anyway, and we only run into her once or twice during the New Year and other holidays. Let's not make a fuss about it."
Jiang Shubao drove forward while coaxing Hui Xin. It was almost nine o'clock, and he couldn't let anything go wrong.
"Shubao, your hometown looks quite backward. Our Huixin followed you to the countryside and suffered. You must double your compensation to her in the future!"
The mother-in-law in the back seat, holding little Jiarong in her arms, looked out the window from time to time. She was also unhappy that her daughter was going back to the countryside to live with her son-in-law.
"Okay, Mom! I will definitely treat Huixin twice as well. I will work hard to make money and buy my own new house in the county within five years. Living in the village is just a temporary solution."
Jiang Shubao spoke with full confidence, as if making a lot of money was a very easy thing.
"Uncle Jiang, there are no entertainment venues in your hometown. Even if you let me live in a big villa, I would still feel very bored."
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Jiang, does our villa have special rooms for karaoke, watching movies, and playing mahjong? I saw those rich people's villas on TV all have these rooms."
Miaomiao was lying alone in the last row of the van, filing her nails with a nail file and asked slowly.
"Your mother likes to play mahjong, so a mahjong room is a must! As for the room you mentioned for singing and watching movies, I'll build one for you someday."
Jiang Shubao thought of finding a room to put a mahjong table in, so that it could become a mahjong room!
As for a room where you can sing and watch movies, you can just put a karaoke machine in the living room and buy a projector online.
My house only has two small two-story rooms, so where would I find so many rooms specifically for an entertainment room?
But Jiang Shubao's answer seemed to make Miaomiao dissatisfied.
"Huh? Uncle Jiang, why is there nothing in this villa you built? Are you planning to drag us over before the house is even finished? I'm not interested in living in a bare-bones house, even if it's a big villa!"
Hui Xin also found it a bit strange. The villas she had seen on Douyin actually had gyms, video rooms, mahjong rooms, etc. Why did she have to renovate her own villa another day?
"Don't worry, Miaomiao, uncle definitely won't let you live in an unfinished house! It's all decorated! There's even a dressing room in your room!"
Jiang Shubao was quite nice to this adopted daughter whom he had raised since she was a child. When his family was well off and their youngest son was not yet born, he was very obedient to her.
"There really is a cloakroom! That's great! Hahahaha... I think rich people all have cloakrooms!"
"Shubao, what about our room? I also like that big and bright dressing room!"
When Hui Xin heard that there was a dressing room, she felt that this villa was reliable. She liked buying clothes and had long wanted to have a large dressing room of her own.
"Yes! Our room must have one!"
Jiang Shubao said this with great confidence.
In fact, the cloakroom he was talking about was just a storage room separated by wooden boards, which was smaller than the toilet.
Jiang Shubao thinks that a room used to store miscellaneous items is called a utility room, and if it is used to store clothes, then it is just a cloakroom!
