Chapter 215 The Eldest Daughter Left Behind 8
It's because he is too picky. He wants someone to be good-looking, gentle and caring, capable and able to earn money, and who can live a good life without spending money recklessly.
He doesn't work hard and is not excellent, but he still dreams that he is Dong Yong and wants to find someone like the Seven Fairies.
Nowadays, women's consciousness has awakened, and the proportion of girls is small. The slightly outstanding girls are surrounded by a bunch of men who want to please them. Jiang Jiabao really can't rank among them.
So during these few years away from home, Xu Jiabao really didn't achieve anything and just picked up a bunch of bad habits.
Although people get married late nowadays, Xuanyundu's grandmother felt that her health was not very good. She wanted to find a partner for her son to marry while she was still alive and could control her daughters, and let her sisters help out more.
So during the Chinese New Year last year, Xu Jiabao went on blind dates one after another, and finally found a girl who was willing to date him.
After more than half a year of getting along, both of them felt that they were doing well, and the elders of both families wanted them to get married at the end of the year.
However, the girl's family has two older brothers and a younger brother, and the burden is heavy, so they ask for more dowry.
The Jiang family couldn't afford it, so grandma set her sights on her daughters.
Jiang Xue actually discovered that the Xu family was missing a long time ago. She used to think that the old couple might be unable to work anymore, or they couldn't make enough money from setting up the stall and stopped working, so she didn't take it seriously.
This time I have to discuss with my younger sister about collecting the dowry for my younger brother. It's not a good idea to say it right away, I'm just looking for a reason.
She didn't take it seriously, but Jiang Mei was anxious. She didn't care about others, but she couldn't ignore her son. She would have to rely on her son for her old age. "What did you say, sister? What do you mean someone is missing?"
Jiang Xue was also shocked. It seemed that Jiang Mei didn't know anything about her in-laws' family. So she told Jiang Xue what she knew. "I haven't seen your in-laws setting up a stall recently. Your father-in-law's eldest brother and his family are the ones setting up the stall. Don't you know?"
Jiang Mei was confused. How could her parents-in-law, who were so capable, give up their successful business? She had never thought they were the kind of people who would sacrifice themselves for others.
I also remembered that last time my parents-in-law seemed to have called my husband. At that time, they were arguing and I didn’t care what they were talking about.
Now that I think about it, my parents-in-law would never call here for no reason. Could something have happened?
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. Jiang Mei no longer cared about her elder sister. She said a few words quickly and hung up the phone, then called the village again.
Only then did I realize that my parents-in-law had made great progress and had taken their two children to study in the city.
I got the phone number of my parents-in-law from the village party secretary and called them to inquire about the situation.
At this time, Xu Haibin, who came out to urge his wife to talk less and return the phone to him quickly, happened to hear it.
Without bothering to play games, he snatched the phone and dialed the number.
At this time, the grandparents were calculating today's sales. Xu Yang took the phone and was also playing Tetris. The ringtone scared the little one who was concentrating so much that he dropped the phone.
Xu Yang, who had been taught many fraudulent tricks by his sister, didn't even look at the display. He thought it was a scammer calling and didn't dare to answer.
After all, this mobile phone is just a decoration at home. It never rings normally. My grandparents use it to contact their hometown and to deliver goods to my great-grandfather's house.
Xuanyunduo came over after hearing the noise, picked up the phone, saw the word "son" on the display, and handed it to his grandparents.
Without caring about anything else, he hurried back to call back the frightened Xu Yang, "Touch his fur, it won't scare him, touch his ears to scare him for a while... Yangyang, don't be afraid, it's dad calling."
Xu Yang raised his head and said obediently, "Sister, I'm not afraid. I'm a man! A real man sheds blood but not tears!"
Xuanyunduo raised her hand to slap him, but then she put her hand down, thinking that he was just scared. "What nonsense are you talking about? You use the wrong words. Okay, have you finished your homework? Go do it now."
"I have finished it a long time ago. I finished such a short homework at school." Xu Yang pouted, unconvinced.
Xuanyunduo rubbed his head and stopped talking nonsense with him. She wanted to hear what was going on with her father who could only call her twice a year.
"What do I have to discuss with you? I haven't seen a penny of the money you've earned in all these years. I still have to earn money to support your children. Your mother and I have worked hard to earn this little money, just to give our children a good future. You've been enjoying all the money you've earned, and you still have the nerve to control me. I don't want a son like you!"
I don’t know what the person on the other end said. The old man yelled angrily and hung up the phone. My grandmother looked very worried.
Knowing that the old couple were angry about what their son said, Xuanyunduo winked at Xu Yang and asked him to go and comfort them. Xu Yang had never seen his grandfather so angry, so he shrank his neck, a little afraid.
After rolling her eyes at him, Xuanyunduo went ahead and said, "Grandpa and grandma, don't be angry. How's business today? Is it time to restock?"
Grandpa sighed and forced a smile. "Well, business has been good these days, but summer clothes are not selling well. Thin coats are selling well. I will go to buy more stock when you can help in the store on Sunday."
Talking about the family's prosperous business, grandpa's mood improved and grandma's face looked better.
Xuanyunduo took the opportunity to push their favorite grandson forward and said, "Grandpa, please help me mark some more books. I don't have much to read anymore."
Xu Yang also raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, I want one too. I want Ultraman and Hello Kitty."
Grandpa and grandma smiled completely and agreed readily, "Okay, okay, we have everything."
Time passed quickly and it was the end of the year. During this period, Xu Haibin called the old man several more times. He no longer complained about the expensive phone bills or that he didn't have time.
Grandpa's anger gradually subsided, and grandma smiled more and more.
He still has to go back to the village for the New Year this year, but his grandparents are reluctant to give up the daily profits of the store, so they want grandma to take Xuanyi and her siblings back first, and he will wait until the 28th to go back.
As soon as the winter vacation started, Sandra Yang went to her uncle's house with her grandparents.
Grandma was worried that if she went back, grandpa would not have enough to eat, so she wanted Xuanyunduo to stay so that she could cook at home and help out in the store.
Grandpa thought about it and agreed. It was the end of the year and business was indeed good. He was really worried that he would be too busy. "If you have any heavy work to do, go to eldest brother's house and find Haijun. Don't be afraid to trouble him. His family would love for us to use them more."
