After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 147 - : Closer Than a Grandson
Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Closer Than a Grandson
When she first saw the money and coupons in Jiang Changhai’s hands, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red. He even had coupons for bicycles, watches, and sewing machines!
Anyone who could provide these scarce industrial coupons must be no ordinary person!
Thinking of this, she once again regretted why it wasn’t her family who had saved Yu Cheng. Then, all that fifty yuan and the coupons would have been theirs!
Forget the money for now, even those few industrial coupons could be exchanged for at least a hundred or two hundred yuan.
Since she couldn’t get the money into her own hands, she thought the eldest should give the money to their parents for the whole family to spend together!
Hearing this, Jiang Changhai rolled his eyes at her and said, “Sun Lixia, have you lost your mind? Do you not know how much food this ten yuan can buy? How much food could Yu Cheng eat in the few days he stays with us? If you think I’m stingy, why don’t you let Changtao jump into the river and save someone, then give all the thank-you gifts to mom?”
...
How could Sun Lixia not know how much food costs these days?
She was just looking for an excuse to make the eldest hand over all the money to the old lady.
Besides, if she could just randomly fish a person out of the river, especially a young master from the Capital City who could offer so much money as a thank-you gift, she would have done it long ago!
“Eldest, I don’t agree with what Laosan’s Wife said, and neither should you. You eat and drink at home all the time, why keep so much money for yourself?”
Zhang Guihua said while glaring at Jiang Mianmian and Su Wanyu, her mother and daughter.
She knew well enough that if she couldn’t get the money now, the eldest would eventually squander it all on them.
Jiang Changhai had anticipated his mother’s reaction and calmly said, “Mom, I’ll use the money and the industrial coupons to buy a sewing machine from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for our home, does that settle it?”

“A sewing machine? Can you really get one?” Zhang Guihua asked in surprise.
No wonder she asked; the supply of sewing machines at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was limited, only a few each year.
Sometimes, even with money and industrial coupons, people might not be able to get one.
Many families planning to buy a sewing machine for a wedding had to pre-order and then wait in line for several months.
Puffing out his chest, Jiang Changhai confidently promised, “I’m not sure about others, but I’m certain I can get one. Though, right now, I first need to”
“Oh, that would be wonderful! If you really manage to bring a sewing machine home, I won’t ask for the money,” said Zhang Guihua.
Her mind had already calculated the costs: a sewing machine needed industrial coupons and also cost quite a bit of money. After buying it, there wouldn’t be much left of the eldest’s money.
With the accounts settled, she looked at the ten yuan in her hand with a delighted expression and said cheerfully, “I’ll cook some extra rice tonight, steam some egg custard, and cut some cured meat to stir-fry with bamboo shoots. Our home might not have many fancy things, but we sure can feast!”
At dinner, they treated Yu Cheng with utmost warmth.
They placed the best dishes in front of him, showing a face of kindness and gentleness, even more so than to their own grandsons.
“You must be tired from being out all day. Eat more. This cured meat was specially fried for you by Grandma Jiang, and it’s really delicious!”
However, Yu Cheng, unusually, ate only one bowl of rice, then excused himself and left alone.
A long while after the meal, there was still no sign of him returning, and no one knew where he had gone.
Having exhausted himself today, Jiang Changhai went back to his room after dinner and lay down on the kang: “Wife, can you massage my legs? I’ve been walking all day and they’re sore.”
