Chapter 6

Jiang Yutong muttered softly, “One thousand and two.”

Jiang Jianshe took several deep breaths.

Lu Yuhan stood up quickly and asked with concern: “Uncle Jiang, are you okay?”

Jiang Jianshe waved his hands and said, “It’s okay. Why did you buy her such an expensive watch?”

Lu Yuhan’s face was also a little embarrassed, and he said directly: “It was Xiu Bai who said he liked it.”

Jiang Jianshe became even angrier upon hearing this. He said to Wang Rong, who was standing nearby, “Go call Xiaobai out and tell her I have something to discuss with her.”

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yuhan opposite him and said, “Well, I won’t keep you for dinner today. I’ll apologize to you another day.”

How could Lu Yuhan dare to refuse? He quickly said that there was something waiting for him at home, and then said goodbye and left.

Wang Rong and Jiang Yutong exchanged a gloating glance. Wang Rong then stepped forward to comfort Jiang Jianshe, “Jianshe, Baibai probably didn’t do it on purpose. You can ask her about it later and then just say a few words to her in private. Girls still have to have some dignity.”

Jiang Jianshe was very upset and said unhappily, “Let’s talk about it after she comes out.”

Wang Rong nodded, stood up and walked over.

When there was a knock on the door, Jiang Xiubai was sitting in front of the dressing table, braiding her hair.

I went out to try on an outfit today and my hair got a little messy.

Hearing the noise, she shouted outside, “Who is it?”

“Xiubai, it’s Aunt Wang. Your father said he wanted to ask you to come out and ask about buying a watch.”

Jiang Xiubai rolled her eyes upon hearing this. What kind of inquiry was this? In her opinion, it was just a reprimand.

It sounds so high-sounding.

She said sweetly, “I know. I’ll be there soon.”

“Um.”

After saying that, Wang Rong returned to the living room with an expectant look on her face.

Thinking that there would be a good show to watch later, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Jianshe was angry for a while in the living room.

I casually asked Jiang Yutong: “Yutong, how much did you buy your watch for?”

Jiang Yutong said cautiously, “More than three hundred.”

Jiang Jianshe nodded when he heard this. This price is normal!

Wait until Jiang Xiubai comes out.

Without even thinking, he asked, “Why did you choose a watch worth twelve thousand?”

Jiang Xiubai glanced at the angry man, and when she walked forward to face him, she said calmly:

“Dad, what’s wrong? You can’t buy a watch worth over a thousand dollars just for your wedding. This is the biggest event in my life as your daughter. I think it’s necessary.”

Jiang Jianshe was infuriated by her sharp words: “Do you know how long your father will stay in his current position at 1,200 yuan? You keep talking about it. Do you know how hard it is to make money?”

Jiang Xiubai nodded: “Just over two years.”

Jiang Jianshe’s current position is deputy political commissar, with a monthly salary of 127 yuan.

If converted into foreign currency, it would be just over 40 yuan, which means he would have to go without food and drink for more than two years to be able to afford this watch.

Jiang Jianshe sneered: “That’s easy for you to say. You just graduated from college and haven’t started working yet. You don’t know how hard it is to make money.”

Jiang Xiubai rolled his eyes and said, “After I turned 18, Aunt Wang stopped giving me money. During the two years I was in school, I earned money on my own. What did I say?”

After saying that, his eyes casually glanced at Jiang Yutong who was not far away.

He looked away and snorted softly, “Unlike some people, who have spent years in college eating and drinking every day, and when they run out of money they go home and ask their mother for money. They are much more blessed than me.”

Jiang Jianshe was stunned and looked at Wang Rong not far away, and saw a trace of embarrassment flash across her face.

He was a little annoyed, but he didn’t have time to criticize her. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiubai across from him and said, “You’re still looking for a job after college? What kind of job? You won’t embarrass me, will you?”

Jiang Yutong suddenly cried out in surprise when she heard this: “Oh, I remember now. During the holiday two years ago, I saw my sister setting up a street stall with some classmates.”

After she finished speaking, she immediately shut her mouth, as if she shouldn’t have said it.

In fact, she had told her mother a long time ago, but Wang Rong said at the time that it was not the time to expose it.

It seems that I have been waiting for this day.

hehe.

Jiang Jianshe’s face instantly turned as black as coal.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Xiubai across from him: “What’s wrong with you? How can you go out and do something as shameful as being a self-employed person?”

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Jiang Yutong who was not far away, and he really wanted to beat her up from head to toe to vent his anger.

But she lowered her head and whispered obediently, “It’s because Aunt Wang didn’t give me living expenses that I went out to help my classmates set up stalls to earn some living expenses.”

Seeing that she had a real reason, Jiang Jianshe thought of her biological mother. He turned around and pointed the finger at Wang Rong across from him, saying, “What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you give Xiubai living expenses before?”

Wang Rong saw Jiang Jianshe looking at her and immediately said, “Jianshe, have you forgotten? Last September, an elder in the family fell ill.

The hospitalization expenses were huge, and I had spent all the money I had. Xiubai came to me, but I really had no money either.”

Jiang Jianshe nodded and looked at Jiang Xiubai again.

Jiang Xiubai put on a show by wiping his eyes with his hand and whispered, “Then Aunt Wang can also explain the situation to me directly.

You didn’t even mention whether you had any previous savings, which made me think you despised me and wanted to kick me out of the house as soon as possible.”

Wang Rong explained, “It was my fault. I didn’t have time to explain it to you in detail before you turned around and ran away.”

Jiang Jianshe saw the two of them talking back and forth and couldn’t tell what was going on for a while.

He simply waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about the past anymore. Xiu Bai, the watch you chose today for 1,200 yuan was indeed not worth buying.

I’ll go back tomorrow and return the watch, just like Yutong did, and choose a watch that’s over 300 yuan.”

“Look at Yutong. She has a good personality, works hard, and can see the situation clearly. You should learn more from her when you have the chance.”

Jiang Xiubai’s eyebrows almost flew up when he saw Jiang Yutong’s proud expression.

The corners of her mouth pursed, she rolled her eyes and said stubbornly, “I don’t want it. Since I bought it, I won’t return it. You don’t like me anyway. It’s a pity that my mother, who loved me the most, is no longer with us.”

After saying that, Jiang Xiubai angrily returned to his bedroom and slammed the door shut.

When Jiang Jianshe heard Jiang Xiubai talking about his mother, he was stunned.

The woman in my memory who was as passionate as fire and had a stunningly beautiful appearance has already stopped at her twenties.

If it weren’t for her, what would I be doing now? Maybe I’d already retired from the army, or maybe I’d change my job…

In any case, it would not be in the military compound, let alone the current location.

Wang Rong saw him in a daze and was filled with hatred, because it was obvious that she was the one who liked him first.

On the eve of his military service, he promised me that he would come back and marry me in a few years.

Why did they wait until the next time they met? It was when he got married and brought that vixen back to his hometown to visit relatives.

Fortunately, it turns out that the vixen is short-lived and everything will be returned to her.

Even if the person dies, the bastard born to the other person will remind her from time to time.

It was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, which she could neither spit out nor swallow.

It’s so uncomfortable.
