CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 103: PARENTS-IN-LAW

"Dad, Mom, it’s so cold today, how come you are here? It’s dark and the road is difficult to walk, aren’t you afraid of slipping? Come on, come inside and sit."

Qin Ming lifted the curtain.

A gust of cold wind carried two people inside.

Jiang Yue quickly stood up,

Jiang Xiaoxiao supported her elder sister, looking at her sister’s pregnant belly, she was really worried.

It’s hard to even stand up now.

"Dad, Mom, you are here, this is my younger sister Jiang Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, these are your brother-in-law’s parents."

Qin Dashan, the father-in-law, looks like a sharp person, having reached the position of team leader, he surely is capable.

His sharp eyes scanned Jiang Xiaoxiao up and down.

The mustache, alive and well, a shrewd and capable man.

And the fifty-something woman next to him is Jiang Yue’s mother-in-law He Guixiang, with sharp features especially the triangular eyes that make her look so mean.

"Oh! Jiang Yue, this sister of yours is truly beautiful. Has she been betrothed yet? If not, we can find someone in our team for you. We’ll definitely find a smart and capable young man.

The young men here are all very caring!"

He Guixiang immediately thought of her youngest son Qin Hao after seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Yue’s gentle nature makes her easy to manipulate.

They can effortlessly make Jiang Yue marry their eldest son without spending a penny to bring her into their family.

The sisters in the family likely have similar personalities, it’s feared that Jiang Xiaoxiao is much like her elder sister.

Their youngest son has been spoiled at home since childhood, with a temper so hot, he usually doesn’t fancy the village girls.

He likes those fair-skinned, slightly cultured girls from the city.

Based on He Guixiang’s character, she didn’t think much of those delicate city girls.

What can they do?

Can they handle farm work, or household chores?

Have you seen those delicate and weak young educated women, frequently falling sick.

Can’t handle hardships.

Unlike the village women who are capable inside and out, with good health, able to bear children.

But her son couldn’t resist liking them!

This Jiang Xiaoxiao actually fits well.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was almost furious.

Mother Qin had designed something for her in her past life, just didn’t succeed.

This lifetime, upon meeting her, was exactly the same, so annoying.

Did she not consider if first impressions would appear frivolous?

Moreover, who talks like this in front of young ladies?

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt. Such a big matter as my sister’s wedding, I really didn’t know. If I hadn’t visited this time, I truly wouldn’t have known. Your customs here are quite different from ours. The two families haven’t even met, yet my sister is already married to your family.

How sad my parents would be to know. Their good daughter up and married away, and the in-laws didn’t even say a word. Even my brother-in-law hasn’t come to meet my parents. What kind of in-laws is this?"

Qin Dashan frowned upon hearing this.

Jiang Yue’s gentle nature is indeed soft, frankly speaking, their initial idea to target Jiang Yue was because they thought she was easy to handle.

Compared to other strong-tempered young educated women, she’s less fierce.

Too kind-hearted, and also beautiful.

Never thought her sister would be so articulate, completely disregarding face, not considering that the two families are in-laws, speaking without concern of offending them, hence causing trouble for her sister.

Unsure what she relies on, supposedly this family is just ordinary working-class.

"Oh, her Aunt, see this commotion, we initially intended to visit the in-laws. But the journey is long, and as you see Jiang Yue is heavily pregnant. How could she travel?

We were originally thinking of waiting until Jiang Yue had the baby, they both could go together to see her parents. Somehow things should be clarified. But now, it’s her aunt who’s pointed out the fault.

This is entirely our fault, back then when our Qin Ming was unconscious saving Jiang Yue, we begged your sister to marry over. At that time, it was really impossible to have a proper wedding.

Naturally, we didn’t inform the in-laws. Here, let me apologize to her Aunt, make amends."

He Guixiang, being the women’s director of the production team, is naturally smooth-tongued.

Upon realizing that this young Aunt is not so easily swayed, she immediately spoke nicely.

Jiang Yue awkwardly pulled her sister’s sleeve, "Mom and Dad, it’s not that serious, we are all family. My sister is just feeling like this wasn’t communicated, and it’s a sudden thing. But actually has no other intention, back then I agreed myself, can’t blame Mom and Dad.

Mom and Dad, please sit down, Qin Ming, quickly serve water to Mom and Dad."

Jiang Yue didn’t want her sister to quarrel with her in-laws, she was facing such family issues for the first time.

Although previously the in-laws always had some attitude, or did things unfairly, those were minor conflicts, she could endure and get through them, but with her sister here, she couldn’t stand by and watch her sister get mistreated, and encourage her to endure it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be fit to be an elder sister.

Qin Ming went out to serve water.

He Guixiang noticed the table piled with lots of things at a glance.

Her eyes brightened, not because she was particularly shallow, but because these things were indeed rare.

The service station at their production team had them, but how could those compare to the ones from the county?

These things look different at first glance.

Secretly pouting inside, didn’t expect Jiang Yue’s sister to be so generous.

She brought so much when visiting her sister, and it was heard from the educated youths in the team that Jiang Yue’s sister surprisingly brought three large bags of grain for her.

Each bag weighing 100 pounds, heavy.

This year the production team met with disaster.

After fulfilling the task grain, every household only divided a little.

Though they are production team leaders, they couldn’t take advantage of the team, the collective grain belongs to everyone.

It’s not theirs personally.

During grain distribution, if they can tweak a bit and take a little more, that’s already them benefiting.

Officially, the production team still has an accountant, a director, a secretary, who wouldn’t let their family dominate.

Actions must naturally be measured; otherwise, they’d likely be ousted.

There are many wanting to replace his old role.

They naturally had to be careful in all their dealings.

The problem is their family has a lot of people.

Besides, there were three young men at home, who were eating and growing.

Haven’t you heard: ’A growing boy eats his father poor.’

They still have two daughters needing pampering.

Every meal was thin, they almost couldn’t stand straight anymore.

Even so, unsure they could persevere until next summer harvest.

They headed over because they heard Jiang Yue’s sister unexpectedly sent grain, and quite a bit, and thus made plans.

After all, it’s their own grain.

They are the elders, if the in-laws asked their daughter-in-law to lend grain, could the daughter-in-law refuse?

Jiang Yue isn’t such a person, plus they know her eldest son very well, he is a filial child.

If they spoke, he would certainly agree.

That’s why they boldly visited.

Of course, they also intended to give Jiang Yue’s family a lesson.

Anyway, she’s just a young girl, offend then offend, could she really argue against elders like them?

Young girls are thin-skinned, might hesitate when bullied.

Daringly came over just thinking like this.

But now it looks like this one is no pushover.
