After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 899 - 900: Words That Move the Heart
Zhiwen and Zhiwu, the two brothers, contentedly enjoyed a feast of meat, patting their full bellies and sitting in the chair savoring the taste.
These days, they’ve been working in the fields every day and haven’t been eating well, feeling like the hard-earned meat they’ve gained has quickly vanished.
"Did you eat your fill?" Jiang Changhai asked his two nephews with a smile, amused by their satisfied appearances.
"Yes, Uncle, we’re full. Aunt’s cooking is the best." Zhiwu sweetly complimented.
"Alright then, let’s head out after you finish eating, it’ll be dark soon." Jiang Changhai stood up and stretched lazily, speaking to the children.
"Let’s go, heading home!" Zhiwen and Zhiwu cheerfully said, carrying tasty snacks with them.
Jiang Changhai rode his family’s bicycle with Jiang Mianmian sitting on the back, Yuanbin on the front, Zhiwen rode Wang Li’s old bicycle, carrying Zhiwu, and they returned to Stone Bridge Village.
Upon arriving at Stone Bridge Village, the Jiang family members had just finished eating, and were a bit surprised to see their sudden return.
"Eldest, why did you all come back?" Zhang Guihua asked in surprise.
"Mom, it’s because the neighbors wanted my daughter to tutor their kids, and I didn’t want her to be worn out, so I sent them back." Jiang Changhai explained simply.
"Yes, Eldest, you did the right thing. My granddaughter works so hard at her studies; finally she gets a break, how can she waste her time tutoring them?" the old lady, always fond of her granddaughter, immediately concurred upon hearing Jiang Changhai’s words.
"Isn’t it the truth, hehe, Mom, there’s another more important reason." Jiang Changhai teasingly continued.
"What’s the more important reason?" The old lady asked curiously.
"Your birthday is coming up, and I thought I’d bring the children back to keep you company for a few days. When your birthday arrives, we’ll organize a few tables and celebrate for you. You’ve worked hard raising us three brothers and caring for our big family all these years." Jiang Changhai said emotionally.
The old lady didn’t expect her usually unruly, often argumentative son to suddenly say something so touching.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she looked at him, but after thinking about it, she refused: "What’s all this? Hosting a feast costs money. You’ve earned some money now, but there are plenty of places to spend in the future. You can’t just spend recklessly and waste money."
The old lady, accustomed to frugality, felt a pang considering the last time Jiang Dashan hosted a feast and spent all that money. She wouldn’t want to waste the family’s money on villagers eating and drinking for free; that’s her meat after all!
"Ah, Mom, don’t worry about saving money for me. We have vegetables at home, I only need to buy a little meat, how much could it cost? Leave everything to me; I have contacts in town, so meat is cheap." Jiang Changhai offered reassuringly.
"That’s right, old lady, Eldest’s heartfelt gesture, don’t turn it down." Jiang Dashan also advised.
"Yes, Mom, remember last time you wanted to take Mianmian to my grandmother’s but couldn’t go? This time, with your birthday, let’s invite people from my grandmother’s house over, and we can all gather. My grandmother will be happy to see you doing well, isn’t it?" Jiang Changhai, knowing well his mother’s character, knew how to persuade her most effectively.
Sure enough, upon hearing that Eldest wanted to invite her maternal family over, the old lady hesitated.
Last time when Mianmian topped the examinations, she hadn’t had the chance to show off yet. This time was a great opportunity!
