BTTS 689




Chapter 689. After-marriage's life


"If you cant finish it, use it to nourish old Jiang. He is good, then you are good." Lin Qing He said in a yellow tone. Xue Mei Li laughed.

Lin Qing He asked about old Mister Jiang and old Madam Jiang's health and learned that the two elderly people were in good health. So she asked about Zhou Wu Ni's situation.

Zhou Wu Ni’s belly wasn't small anymore. She had taught the first semester. However, she will definitely not be able to teach in the second semester.

So she simply took maternity leave and waited until next year to teach.

At present, Zhou Wu Ni’s situation was very stable. There was no major problem. Her mother-in-law had said that she would go and take care of her when she is in post-natal confinement.

However, Zhou Wu Ni didn't really want her to come over.

The very same day she chatted with Xue Mei Li, Zhou Wu Ni came over to make a call by herself. She spoke: "Jiang Heng's mom favor his eldest brother's family. When she come over and take care of my post-natal confinement. At that time, there will definitely be unclean hands and feet. I can just hire a nanny. Don't need her to come."

"She had taken something from home?" Lin Qing He responded.

"She came here twice and something at home always disappear. I didn't notice it before until Jiang Heng told me that it was probably taken by his mom." Zhou Wu Ni told.

"What's Jiang Heng's opinion?" Lin Qing He said.

"He said listen to me. Told me not to be angry." Zhou Wu Ni merrily replied.

Her mother-in-law can't be count on anymore. However, her own man was obviously leaning towards her side. Zhou Wu Ni felt that it was enough. So she didn't get involved much after giving her in-law family some living expenses every month.

Jiang Heng was also working hard now. The few tea shops were on the right track this year. He was overseeing it all.

However, what was worth mentioning was that Jiang Heng received nearly 300 yuan in salary last month due to the commission.

Must say, this was quite high.

Zhou Wu Ni naturally didn't want him to worry about this when he went to work, so she didn't care.

"Last time she brought a few small apples over and remarked that the house is big. From her meaning, she wants his sisters and others to move in." Zhou Wu Ni told.

"Then what did you say?" Lin Qing He asked.

"How can that do? This house is lent to me and Jiang Heng to live by Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle. It's enough that we are living in here. How can we also called a bunch of people over. What would this be called?" Zhou Wu Ni said.

"If they're good, it's okay to let them go over there to live." Lin Qing He stated.

"They are all talkative. I don't like them." Zhou Wu Ni spoke. Her thoughts were in line with Lin Qing He's. If his two younger sisters were sensible and hardworking girls, they can come here to live and help to clean up the house. She wasn't a vicious sister-in-law. She was naturally happy to if that side didn't have enough room.

However, Zhou Wu Ni had met his two younger sisters. They can't be considered wicked. Still, Zhou Wu Ni didn't want to get involved too much. Each live their own and not disturb each other.

"As long as you know it in your heart, it's fine." Lin Qing He smiled and said nothing more about it: "As for the nanny expense, Fourth Aunt will reimburse you at that time."

"What need is there for that? We can handle it ourselves." Zhou Wu Ni merrily responded.

"You and Jiang Heng's strings are tied together by me. So I'll do the good deed to the end. After hiring a nanny for your little baby, I can successfully retreat in the future. You guys happily live your life." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Wu Ni didn't say anything. She knew her fourth aunt treated them well and remembered it in her heart. No need to push around on this topic.

Because the belly wasn't small, Zhou Wu Ni began to look for a nanny.

When old Madam Jiang heard that she was going to hire a nanny, she inquired around as she knew her eldest daughter-in-law’s personality. She found someone with a good reputation and experience and brought her over for Zhou Wu Ni to see. Only then, it was settled.

Once she gave birth, she'll call her to come over to help.

As for Jiang Heng's mom. She will inevitably have opinions.

Every month’s living expenses were brought there by Jiang Heng. In the past two months, he had made a lot of money, so he planned to give more. But when he got home, he heard his mother complain about it. His original intention to give more money was suppress. He gave the normal amount.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about how Hong Min and I live. We are all fine." Jiang Heng stated.

He was born by his mom. How could he not know what kind of personality his mom had? She didn't have any seriously bad habit. None of those vicious treatment toward daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Just have unclean hands and feet. She dared not steal big things. Just some food.

It belonged to the kind of big bad habit that wasn't as bad as a bunch of small ones.

Last time, Hong Min couldn't find the sea cucumber she wanted to eat.

What's more, the sea cucumber was leftovers from the previous meal. Some sea cucumber congee was cooked from time to time. He can also have the blessing to taste it. The last sea cucumber congee was cooked by him as Hong Min was feeling lazy. The remaining few were kept in the cabinet.

Hong Min wanted to eat it, but couldn't find it.

His mom had been over again. It went without saying who took it.

Hong Min didn't say anything and left him enough face. Like this, the incident was over.

This time she was expecting a childbirth. Her fourth aunt had already said the nanny will be hired and she will give the reimbursement. It wasn't about the reimbursement. Jiang Heng was willing to hire one even without the reimbursement.

After all, it was just that one month. The salary was one hundred yuan. It wasn't like they can't afford it.

While his mom had objection. Jiang Heng knew that it wasn't any other reason. She knew that Fourth Aunt would give Hong Min a lot of good things for post-natal confinement and she wanted to get some.

But those were all for Hong Min's post-natal confinement. He didn't want his mom go over and get involved.

Jiang Heng's mom changed the subject again and talked about the house was spacious and wanted his two younger sisters to go and live there.

Jiang Heng's scalp went numb. How would he not know what his two younger sisters were like?

"The house belongs to Hong Min's fourth uncle and fourth aunt. We are just borrowing the place to live. How can we let them live in? It's not there's not enough space here. Mom, don't let Eldest Sister-in-law mess around!" Jiang Heng said this and went straight back.

When he got home. Zhou Wu Ni was eating boiled peanuts. She peeled two of them for him to eat when she saw him come back.

Zhou Wu Ni and Jiang Heng were truly elder sister and younger brother. Zhou Wu Ni was a very generous and decent as an elder sister wife. At least Jiang Heng submitted to her.

He was a capable manager at the tea shop. While at home, he was a younger brother.

Of course, Zhou Wu Ni loved and was satisfied with this husband.

"My head is a little itchy today." Zhou Wu Ni said.

"Then I will wash it for you." Jiang Heng responded.

Then Zhou Wu Ni grabbed the chaise chair to lay down on. It was the one that Lin Qing He used before. It was very convenient for washing hair. A bit like hair salon's in later generations.

Zhou Wu Ni commented, "Say, do you think I should cut it short? It's too long to wash easily."

"It's not too long. Keep it, it's beautiful like this." Jiang Heng replied, "You don't need to wash it. When you want to wash your hair, tell me. I'll do it."
