After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 968 - 967: Zhang Guihua Enters the City 2
Jiang Mianmian knew her grandma was really thirsty, so she quickly handed over the soda she hadn’t had a chance to drink yet: "Grandma, have some more soda. My dad just took it out from the well water, it’s so refreshing."
"Oh, my big granddaughter is so good, but you keep the soda for yourself. Grandma will just eat another piece of watermelon." The old lady was reluctant to drink the precious soda, wanting to save it for her granddaughter.
"No worries, Grandma, go ahead and drink it. My dad bought a lot of bottles. There’s more at home." Jiang Mianmian naturally saw through the old lady’s thoughts and placed the soda back into her grandma’s hand.
"Really, then I’ll drink it." The old lady took a sip of the cool soda, squinting her eyes in comfort.
Jiang Changhai saw that the old lady had rested enough, and went over with a smile, asking, "Mom, why didn’t you say earlier if you wanted to come over? If you had said so earlier, I would’ve gone back to pick you up. You know this city is so big, you don’t know your way around. What if you got lost, what would we do?"
"You’re really underestimating your mom. If I can’t find my way, wouldn’t I ask someone?" The old lady said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, Mom, you’re right. You’re the best." Jiang Changhai nodded repeatedly in agreement, noticing the old lady’s tone was off.
"By the way, Eldest, I haven’t had the chance to ask you yet, is this house you’re living in rented? How did you manage to rent such a nice house? How much does it cost per month?" The old lady asked while looking around the room.
"Mom, it’s not rented, I bought it." Jiang Changhai didn’t hide it since his mom was here, and directly told the truth.
"What? You bought it? When did you buy it? Where did you get so much money? Houses in the city are much more expensive than in town." The old lady’s voice trembled with shock upon hearing this.
The eldest hasn’t worked for more than a year, and although his wife works at the municipal government, the money she earns is just enough for the three of them to spend.
Their house in the town hasn’t been sold yet, and they’ve bought such a big, nice house here in the city. Where did they get the money from?
"Mom, don’t be excited. This house isn’t cheap, but I’ve made quite a bit of money doing business these past two years, so buying this house wasn’t much of an effort." Jiang Changhai said a bit boastfully.
Upon hearing about doing business, the old lady’s heart clenched. She asked incredulously in shock, "Doing business? Isn’t doing business just speculating? Eldest, you’ve gone mad? What did your dad and I tell you before, you had agreed so well, how come you’re doing this again? If people find out, how will Wanyu keep her job?"
In the previous years, when the country was strictly controlling speculation, if anyone was found doing this privately, it would implicate the whole family. If there were public servants in the family, they would definitely be punished, with severe cases leading to dismissal.
Eldest’s family has gone through so much to get to where they are now; how could they handle it if his activities were discovered?
Jiang Changhai saw how angry his mom was, so he hurriedly went over and lightly patted her back, comforting her: "Oh, my dear mom, it’s not as serious as you say. You’re in the village and don’t come out much. Look at how things are now. Just here in Yang City, I’m not saying there are small businesses everywhere, but at every three intersections, there must be one where someone is selling something. Mom, times are progressing, policies are changing, and nobody cares about speculation anymore."
