Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 201 The Young Man

"Grandma! It's so late, and we're still disturbing you." Jiang Youzhen saw that the family was too embarrassed to save face, so he walked up to her and said with a smile.

She winked at Si Ya. She asked, "Aren't you usually very talkative? Why are you mute now?" Si Ya then followed suit and called out "Grandma" somewhat shyly.

"Hey!" He's face was full of smiles, and even the corners of her eyes were wrinkled.

"Stop talking about disturbing or not. We are all family. It's awkward to say that."

She made way for them and said to them, "Come in, come in."

The old man just came back and said that Fugui was adopted by his family. She still couldn't believe it. After all, didn't she know what kind of character Jiang He was? She didn't expect this to be true.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the old man had always regretted not having a son. Now that Fugui had a kind character and was down-to-earth, the old couple were not bad people, and they would live a good life together in the future.

Jiang Youzhen and the others moved down their daily necessities one by one, and after they had tidied up, it was already very late.

"You haven't eaten yet? I have a bad memory. I'll go cook something for you." He wiped the sweat from her forehead and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Grandma, don't bother. We've eaten here. There are still a few buns left. You and Grandpa must be hungry, right? Eat them first." Jiang Youzhen took out the buns from the small basket and put them on the table.

Jiang Tao's family was not wealthy, they lived in a mud brick house, but the roof was covered with tiles. The three rooms were not small, so Jiang Youzhen and his family stayed there temporarily.

When moving things just now, Jiang Youzhen had already looked around the environment. The house was very clean inside and outside, and everything was in good order. Even the firewood was neatly stacked. It was obvious that they were a hardworking couple.

Jiang Tao took a look at the greasy buns, swallowed, but still looked away.

"It doesn't matter! We've already eaten. By the way, wait a minute."

As he said this, he turned and went into the bedroom, and when he came out he was holding a small wooden box in his hand.

"Since we are all family, there is no need for us to be polite. This is all the wealth of our family. I will tell you about it. I am old now and will not be the head of the family. How you live in the future depends on you."

Huh? So anxious? Jiang Youzhen was very surprised.

Even Jiang Fugui and the others were very moved. Shen said quickly, "Fugui and I have saved some money. How can we ask for your retirement money? As for the family affairs, let... let mother-in-law take care of it!"

The way this mother-in-law called her was a little awkward, but compared to Chen, she was more willing to do so.

"Listen to me, I have just discussed this with my wife. We are old and don't like to worry about anything. Anyway, I have given you our family fortune, so you will take care of us in our old age."

"It's my duty to take care of you in your old age. You should keep your family assets for yourself. I..." Jiang Fugui was a little moved. They had just arrived and not only were they living in their eighth uncle's house, but they were also taking over his assets. This was a little unreasonable.

Jiang Tao waved his hand. He was a straightforward person and couldn't stand nagging people. He agreed to adopt Fugui because he knew that Fugui was kind-hearted and down-to-earth. Otherwise, he really looked down on Fugui because of his temper.

He looked at Jiang Youzhen. Who has the final say in this family now? How could he not know in his heart? He couldn't talk to Fugui, so he should talk to Erlang.

When the wooden box was opened, large and small silver and copper coins, as well as two pieces of paper were revealed.

"This is all the wealth of our family, a total of 18 taels, 730 wen, and five acres of land. The title deed of this yard is all here. We will keep five taels of silver for future use, and you can take the rest."

Jiang Tao was about to count out five taels of silver when he was stopped by Jiang Youzhen.

"Since Grandpa said we are all family, let's just be clear today! Please keep the money, we don't mind it.

The fields can be planted together, and we will take care of all the household expenses in the future. You and grandma can just enjoy your old age. I will give you three hundred coins every month as a tribute, which is for you to spend. When the new house is built, we will move in together."

Jiang Youzhen's words revealed several meanings. They didn't want Jiang Tao's money, nor would they really turn their own money into the public purse. Giving money for retirement, taking care of food and accommodation, and daily expenses were all things that should be done after the adoption.

Jiang Youzhen would not be stingy with this benefit, after all, he was the heir of someone else. But Jiang Tao still had two daughters, so it was impossible for him to be unreserved. This was the meaning of saying ugly things in advance.

Jiang Tao is not stupid, he nodded, "Don't worry, we old couple have no selfish motives, we just want to have someone to break the pot in the future. Fugui has a kind nature, and Erlang is also a filial person, otherwise I would not agree to adopt him."

"But I've already agreed to give you this silver. Just take it and consider it as a gift from your father."

When he thought about what Jiang Youzhen had just said, that he would not only give them pension money but also live in a new yard with them, he couldn't help but feel emotional and warm.

I thought Erlang just wanted an identity, but I didn't expect that he was willing to treat them sincerely.

The old man, Lao Shi, is really blinded by greed. He will regret it in the future. Anyway, he thinks that Lao Shi’s remaining two sons are not good people.

Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "Don't worry! We really don't lack money. If we encounter difficulties, we will ask you for help without you telling us. Just keep this money and don't be reluctant to spend it."

"Okay! Then we'll keep it for now, but just three hundred coins a month. I have my own family background, so I don't need your money." Jiang Tao felt relieved. This family was finally becoming lively again.

"You should heat up the buns. We've been busy until now and everyone must be hungry. Let's eat and take a break!" Jiang Youzhen didn't argue with him in vain. He had given them 300 coins before, so he couldn't favor one over the other, otherwise people would compare them.

"Mom! I think Dad still hasn't come to his senses. Please help persuade him!" Jiang Youzhen was about to go back to the house to rest, but when he saw Jiang Fugui's lonely figure, he instructed Shen.

Shen sighed, "It's only temporary. You'll get used to it in a few days. This is good for us, but how are you going to solve the problem of corvée?"

This is what she is worried about now! It is impossible to let her daughter do corvée labor. She has a plan in mind. If it doesn't work out, the whole family will move away.

"Don't worry! I can handle this year's corvée labor." Jiang Youzhen had already planned to find Tong Huaian. Now that Tong Huaian had gone to the capital, it would be no problem for him to handle this matter.

Shen nodded with a heavy heart, "Go to bed early! You've been busy all day."

Jiang Youzhen woke up early the next morning. She found that she seemed to be used to her bed. She had stayed in the county town for one night and did not sleep well.

Looking at the strange house, she quickly got up, dressed and washed.
