Chapter 363: Selling at Market Price

When Jiang Ersao heard this, she felt a surge of happiness inside and quickly spoke out the small benefits she was hoping for. “Of course, it should be cheaper. We’re all relatives, and charging too much wouldn’t feel right.”

At this moment, Jiang Dage spoke up, “Actually, selling at market price isn’t a big deal. If the price is too low, San Di will be at a disadvantage.”

Jiang Ersao, hearing her sister-in-law trying to undermine her, gritted her teeth in anger. “Dage, if we don’t have the means, don’t speak recklessly. Who doesn’t want to buy something cheap? I don’t believe you’ve never thought this way.”

Jiang Dage quickly shook her head, terrified. “I wasn’t thinking of getting a bargain from San Di’s family.”

Her words caused Jiang Ersao’s face to darken. “So, Dage, from what you’re saying, are you implying that I want to take advantage of San Di’s family?”

Hearing Jiang Ersao’s pointed words, Jiang Dage’s eyes reddened with fear. “No, that’s not what I meant. I was only talking about myself, not about you. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Seeing her cry again, Jiang Ersao knew the family would think she was bullying her sister-in-law again.

“Enough, stop talking. Our family doesn’t need San Di’s land, so don’t think about it.” Jiang Dage’s husband, Jiang Erge, shouted loudly.

Jiang Ersao turned angrily to face him, “Why don’t we need it? There are four of us in the family, and with just one acre of land, how are we supposed to survive?”

“If it’s not enough, I’ll go out and earn money. In any case, I’m not buying San Di’s land.” Jiang Erge spoke firmly, without a hint of negotiation.

Jiang Ersao glared at him, her eyes wide with anger. But when she remembered the two elderly people in the house, she knew she couldn’t throw a tantrum. They would never let her get away with it.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go to bed early tonight and start dividing the house tomorrow morning.”

With that, Jiang Father stood up and walked back to his room.

Once the elderly couple left, everyone naturally returned to their own rooms.

After returning to her room, Li Yiyi quickly put the children to sleep. At the same time, Jiang Hong, who had been outside taking a bath, also returned.

“Darling, you’ve worked hard,” Jiang Hong said, walking over and gently hugging his wife, who had just gotten up from the bed.

“It’s no trouble, they are my children too. But you, what are you going to do about the acre of land your parents are giving us?” Li Yiyi asked, pulling him to sit down.

Jiang Hong sneered, “Naturally, the one who can pay market price will get it.”

He hadn’t missed the conversation earlier. His second sister-in-law clearly wanted to buy the land at a cheap price from them.

Did she really think they were fools living outside? If she had spoken kindly to him, he might have lowered the price a little. But now, that was impossible.

Li Yiyi nodded lightly, then furrowed her brows. “What happened to Ersao in these two years? She’s changed completely. I remember when I hadn’t joined the army yet, she used to get along well with Dage and Mom, right?”

“Wife, haven’t you heard? People change, and especially when they each have their own families, changes happen more easily.” Jiang Hong pulled her into his arms and softly explained.

“Anyway, the atmosphere in this family is really uncomfortable.” She buried her face in his chest and said.

“Just a few more days. Once we finish handling things here, we’ll go back.” He hugged her gently, comforting her.

Thinking of how unbearable the atmosphere in this house was, he could imagine how the elderly couple must feel. Now it was their son and daughter-in-law causing the trouble, which must be even harder for them.

“Jiang Hong, why don’t we bring Dad and Mom with us when we go back? Let them stay with us for a while, maybe they’ll feel better.” She pulled away from his chest and looked at him seriously as she made the suggestion.

Jiang Hong was moved when he heard this. He had been in the army for so many years, and his parents had never been to see him there.

“Alright, I’ll ask them tomorrow.” He nodded.

The next day, after the family division was settled, Jiang Hong specially found his parents to bring up the matter.

“Let us two old folks go back with you to the army? No, no, we’re just going back to do some work, what would we old people do there?” Jiang Father immediately waved his hand.

The young couple wasn’t too surprised by this refusal. They had already expected this and had thought of how to persuade them before coming.

“Mom, Dad, actually there’s a reason we want you to come stay with us for a while. After we go back, we’ll probably be busy for a while, and with only Aunt Huang here to take care of the two kids, we wouldn’t feel at ease. But if you two come, we’ll feel much more at ease while we’re working.” Li Yiyi smiled as she explained.

The elderly couple had originally been hesitant because going to San Di’s place would be too troublesome, and it would take several days by train. They were getting old and preferred staying at home without long travel.

But after hearing their daughter-in-law’s words, they started to hesitate.

Both knew that their son and daughter-in-law were involved in important work. If they could help, they would.

“Old man, why don’t we go live for a while? Once San Di and his wife are done with their business, we can come back.” Jiang Mother was the first to relent, turning to persuade her husband.

Jiang Father stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then finally softened. “Alright, we’ll go. Just for a while.”

The young couple, hearing their acceptance, exchanged a quiet look and a small wink.

At the same time, at the hospital…

After a long night of surgeries, Shen Qianhe woke up and realized it was already daytime.

He suddenly remembered the situation with Yang Guoqiang in bed 21, quickly getting out of bed and throwing on his white coat before rushing out.

When he arrived at the ward, he found Yang Guoqiang was peacefully sleeping in bed.

His entrance woke up Yang Guoqiang’s wife, who had been sleeping.

“Shen doctor, you’re here,” she rasped as she greeted him.
