Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

"Telegram! Dad, give me the telegram that Brother Ji just sent!" Jiang Weimin handed a telegram to Jiang Defu. Jiang Weimin knew it was from his second aunt without even looking at it. And seeing his aunt Jiang Dehua's expression of smiling but not saying anything, he must have guessed it.

"Telegram? Whose telegram is it?"

"I don't know." Jiang Weimin shook his head.

"Who is here? What happened?" Anjie looked worried. The most frightening thing in that era was receiving a telegram, especially since Anjie's eldest son was still serving as a soldier on the border.

Jiang Defu opened the telegram and saw "Second Aunt."

"Which Second Aunt?" An Jie was obviously relieved.

"Is it the mother of Wang Wu from the previous street?" Jiang Dehua looked excited.

"Yes, yes, it could be Wang Wu's mother."

"What happened to Wang Wu's mother?" An Jie continued to ask.

"If you want to come to our house, arrive in the next two days."

Jiang Defu continued, "Well, Dehua, you go to the dock to pick him up every day. It's not certain which ship he will take."

"What are they doing here? What are they doing in our house?"

"How should I know? Didn't I just see the telegram?"

"Maybe he missed us and wanted to come and see us." Jiang Dehua hurriedly explained.

"What kind of relatives are they in this family?" Anjie asked puzzledly.

"Are they related to our family?" Jiang Defu looked at Jiang Dehua with the same puzzled look.

"Why not? Have you forgotten that Wang Wu's aunt married our fifth aunt's nephew?"

"Huh, what kind of relative is this? They're not even remotely related." Anjie was speechless.

"Then what are you humming about? You hum when someone comes to our house."

"Dad, I think you should prepare to see where you can get a place to serve in the army! You're not going to the temple, are you? Auntie!"

"Jiang Weimin, what are you looking at me doing?" Jiang Dehua looked guilty.

"Jiang Weimin, you know it again, right?" Jiang Defu knocked Jiang Weimin on the head with chopsticks.

"Why did you hit him?" An Jie rubbed Jiang Weimin's head and looked at Jiang Defu angrily.

"That's right, that's right." Jiang Yafei also looked at Jiang Defu angrily, because at this moment she felt that she and Jiang Weimin were on the same front.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Jiang Defu saw that he had angered everyone and quickly ended the topic in a serious tone.

Before going to bed at night

"At the dinner table, I heard Wei Min say that Dehua recruited people here?"

"I guess so! I guess it's my fault!"

"You invited it!"

"A while ago, Dehua told me that he wanted to send a letter to his hometown to ask about the situation there and whether it was okay. I thought about it and agreed. But I didn't expect Dehua to recruit people."

"It must be that Dehua saw that my nieces and nephews had all joined the army. She felt unbalanced and thought that our An family benefited from you as the commander, but your Jiang family didn't. She was so angry that she summoned people here!"

"Oh, you have long hair but short knowledge." Jiang Defu shook his head helplessly.

"What should we do? If someone comes, we really need to make him a soldier!"

"We'll talk about it later! Go to sleep."

The Second Aunt in the play is very savvy in the ways of the world. It is not easy for an old woman of such age to make such a decision and endure such hardships just to find a good job for her granddaughter.

Moreover, the second aunt is good at judging the situation and knows how to win the favor of others. As soon as she arrived at Anjie's house, she began to praise Anjie's beauty.

Before leaving, the second aunt also emphasized that she would take care of Jiang Defu's mother's grave.

This move not only brought her closer to An Jie, but also won Jiang Defu's trust and favor.

Two days later, Jiang Dehua brought his second aunt and her family home.

Then the second aunt was invited into the house while Jiang Weimin and his two siblings chatted outside.

"Jiang Weimin, do you think Auntie is stupid? She brought such a big trouble upon herself. Look at the person Second Auntie brought. He is ugly and fat."

"Alas! I'm afraid the biggest trouble is still to come." Jiang Weimin was also speechless.

"What's the trouble?"

"I am afraid that someone who shouldn't come will come."

"Someone who shouldn't be here? Who?"

"I'm talking about fear!" Jiang Weimin quickly tried to smooth it over. Jiang Weimin didn't want to discuss this topic as it could easily lead to trouble.

At this time, Jiang Dehua came out of the house with two thermoses.

"Jiang Yafei, turn on the water."

"Aunt, let me go!" Jiang Weimin stood up and took the thermos.

Jiang Weimin decided to scare Jiang Defu and send some information to his father. As expected, he met Jiang Defu on the way to fetch water.

"Dad, my aunt is here with grandma."

"understood."

"Dad, who is Guilan?" Jiang Weimin asked knowingly.

"Gui Lan?"

"Yes, that grandma said that my mom is prettier and more handsome than Guilan, and she also said that you are blessed."

"What else did she say? Tell me, what else did that grandma say?" Jiang Defu said anxiously.

"No, but I see my mom is very unhappy. Dad, you better be careful when you go back!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Defu could only hurried back home. When he got home, he saw An Jie and Jiang Dehua making dumplings.

"Thank you for your hard work making these dumplings." Jiang Defu said as he carefully observed An Jie's expression.

"Have you seen Second Aunt?" Jiang Dehua asked

"I haven't seen it yet, but I'm here to greet you first!"

An Jie looked at Jiang Defu who was staring at him all the time, turned around with a look of disgust and walked out of the kitchen to get something.

Jiang Defu took this opportunity to ask Jiang Dehua, "Your sister-in-law seems unhappy. Why did Second Aunt bring up Guilan?"

"Then...then what..."

"Well, what did he say?"

"Oh, I don't know. He's just getting old and confused."

"What did she say about her?"

"She said she was prettier and more handsome than me." At this time, An Jie had unknowingly stood behind Jiang Defu.

"She's talking nonsense." Jiang Defu quickly explained.

"How dare you say Second Aunt is talking nonsense!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? She was just talking nonsense."

"Oh, Second Auntie didn't say anything nonsense, it was my sister-in-law who said nonsense. Second Auntie didn't say Sister-in-law Guilan was prettier and more handsome than her, Second Auntie said that she was prettier than Sister-in-law Gui Guilan, and Sister-in-law Guilan was more handsome."

Hearing this, An Jie threw his hands and went out again in anger. Jiang Defu said a few words to Jiang Dehua and followed him out.

At this time Jiang Weimin walked into the kitchen and said, "Aunt, what's wrong? Are you in trouble? I told you but you didn't listen."

"How would I know this is true? Get out now and don't disturb me while I'm cooking!"

"You don't need my help!"

"No need to hurry out." Then he pushed Jiang Weimin out of the kitchen.
