Chapter 15

Old Mrs. Jiang was so furious when she heard this, but she felt that some of the other party’s words made sense. However, if she was asked to stop at this moment, she would feel embarrassed.

While hesitating, Jiang Yutong and Wang Rong, who were not far away, looked at each other.

Wang Rong stepped forward reluctantly and grabbed the broom from Old Lady Jiang’s hand. She said, “Mom, Xiubai is really rude, but she’s getting married tomorrow. If you hit her now, it’ll be embarrassing for both of us tomorrow. Just forget it. Jianshe and I can teach her a lesson privately. Just calm down.”

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Jiang snorted lightly and let go.

She glared at Jiang Xiubai opposite her, then returned to the sofa and sat down heavily.

Jiang Xiubai snorted inwardly when he saw the two’s actions.

Even a clay figure still has some temper!

Not to mention that old lady Jiang was just a bully in her own neighborhood, so no one dared to attack her.

Even if she really dared, Jiang Yutong and her daughter certainly did not want any other accidents to happen at tomorrow’s wedding.

Jiang Xiubai packed up his things and closed the door when he came out, locking it as well.

Everyone in the living room had different thoughts.

Then, Jiang Xiubai didn’t care about everyone’s thoughts. He just took his own washbasin or something, poured hot water from the kettle to warm it up, and started washing.

After washing up, he got up and went back to his room, not paying any attention to the people in the living room.

Mrs. Jiang…

Jiang Xiuhong and Jiang Xiufen exchanged a glance, then stood up from their seats and looked at everyone, saying, “Grandma, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, it’s getting late, and we should get ready for bed.”

Old Mrs. Jiang waved at the two of them in a bad mood and said, “Go.”

Jiang Xiuhong and Jiang Xiufen felt relieved, nodded, quickly turned around to wash up, and then returned to the room.

Seeing this, Jiang Yutong was worried about their behavior after returning to the room, so she went forward and followed them to wash up and go back to the bedroom.

When there were only three people left in the living room, Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Jianshe and Wang Rong opposite her and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really pissed off to death by that damn girl Jiang Xiubai just now.

However, thinking of the fourth brother’s character, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved and started to persuade him earnestly again.

“Old Four, I’m not saying anything bad about you, but as the head of the family, you should have…”

****

Jiang Xiubai was woken up early in the morning and started to dress up.

Jia Xiangru listened to Jiang Xiubai’s request in advance and specially hired someone to give her a popular Hong Kong style makeup.

As for her hair, she tied it up and matched it with big flowers of that era. She also wore a white shirt and a red blazer with a lapel, which looked festive and beautiful.

Jiang Xiubai’s college classmates also came, they were all in the same dormitory with her.

Almost everyone in the compound who could come to join in the fun and help came. When everyone saw Jiang Xiubai dressed up, their eyes lit up and compliments flowed in the house like an endless flood.

Jiang Xiubai answered them one by one with a smile.

Everyone found it quite strange. They had lived in the same compound for so many years, and everyone knew how the second daughter of the Jiang family behaved.

Today is really, is she really going to get married? So this person has grown up and become sensible.

Someone behind her curiously asked about the clothes she was wearing. Jiang Xiubai smiled and said, “I bought them at the Friendship Store. They said they were the most popular ones in Hong Kong right now.”

Everyone in the room suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the things sold in the Friendship Store were indeed better than those sold in the department stores outside.

Someone else said, “Why do I think Yutong next door has the same wedding dress and hairstyle as you?”

Jiang Xiubai said politely, “I did buy the same one as my elder sister.”

At this time, the voice of an aunt in her forties or fifties rang out: “The Lu family is different. Not only did the uncle and nephew marry the two sisters from the Jiang family on the same day, but they even wore the same wedding dresses. I heard that they had to wear a veil when they got married. I don’t know if they will be able to tell them apart when they get married.”

The room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked towards the aunt who was speaking.

Jia Xiangru glared at the other person fiercely.

Jiang Xiubai recognized the other person. This was Aunt Wang, the famous loudmouth in the compound. Her husband was a political commissar and was often not at home.

Aunt Wang is bored and loves to gossip in the compound.

From the other end of the room, an aunt’s voice rang out, “Commissar Wang, you should be more kind-hearted. If it weren’t for your foul mouth, your old Wang wouldn’t be dragged down by you and still not get promoted.”

Aunt Wang glared at me and said, “Am I wrong? You’ll see when the time comes.”

Except for Jiang Xiubai, no one in the room could have imagined that her words would come true.

At this time, some other aunts couldn’t stand it anymore and said a few words to Aunt Wang. Then, before she could react, two people of similar age lifted Aunt Wang’s arms and carried her out.

When she opened her mouth, one of them covered her mouth with his hand.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room became much better.

However, Jiang Xiuhong noticed the watch on Jiang Xiubai’s wrist at a glance. It was golden and looked very beautiful.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin Xiubai, what is this?”

The rest of the people in the room looked over, and many of them gasped, thinking it was made of gold.

Jia Xiangru, who was standing by, smiled and said, “This is a Swiss-made Golden Ellipse watch, worth over a thousand. It was bought for me by Xiubai’s in-laws. You can’t buy it without foreign exchange coupons.”

Everyone was shocked by the price.

In this day and age, buying a watch is a must when getting married.

But basically everyone spends about one or two hundred, and the better ones spend less than three hundred.

Watches that cost more than a thousand yuan are usually only seen on the counters of department stores, but who would be willing to spend that much money to buy such an expensive item?

After a long discussion, everyone was very envious and said that Jiang Xiubai had fallen into a lucky nest and good fortune was waiting for her.

We chatted for a while longer.

The sound of firecrackers going off could be heard downstairs.

Everyone looked down from the window, and soon everyone’s laughter rang out in the room, saying, “Oh, the Lu family is finally here.”

“Yeah, this kid Lu is dressed really smartly.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity that his third uncle is still lying in bed right now. Otherwise, the rest of the Lu family can’t catch up to one-tenth of his third uncle.”

The aunt who was speaking paused, turned her head and smiled awkwardly, and said no more.

At this time, someone smart enough changed the subject, and the room became lively again.

Jia Xiangru accompanied Jiang Xiubai, looking angry.

Jiang Xiubai was amused and patted Jia Xiangru’s arm gently.

Jia Xiangru thought that today was a good day for Jiang Xiubai, and she finally suppressed her anger a little.
