Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 193: Jiang Xingye’s Monday Morning Quarterbacking

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Jiang Xingye’s Monday Morning Quarterbacking

In the evening, after dinner, Jiang Baohua called his wife and four sons to gather again in the old house in the backyard.

He Yuzhen, who’s been quite quiet lately, couldn’t help but urge Tian Jinhua, "Big sister-in-law, what do you think they’re scheming now? What’s so secret that we can’t know?"

Tian Jinhua lazily ignored her, collected the dishes, and went to the kitchen.

He Yuzhen spat at Tian Jinhua’s back, "Cowardly useless waste!"

"Second sister-in-law, who are you cursing?" Jiang Xingmei frowned and said.

He Yuzhen dared not offend the little sister-in-law, smiled and said, "Not cursing, you must have heard wrong! Meizi, what do you think Dad and Mom are talking about with Grandpa and Grandma? Us sister-in-laws are outsiders and can’t hear, does this mean you can’t hear either?"

Jiang Xingmei glared at her, "What they say has nothing to do with you?"

With a flick of her hand, she turned and walked out the door.

Although she wouldn’t foolishly let He Yuzhen provoke her to make a fuss, she still felt a little uncomfortable inside and went over to Jiang Xingye’s place to chat with Xu Qinghuan.

The health of the old Jiang patriarch and matriarch had improved a lot, leaning against the kang bed, the family listened to Jiang Baohua, all shocked into silence.

Zhou Guizhi asked, "Did Huanhuan tell you?"

Jiang Baohua said, "If she didn’t tell me, do you think I’d go up and demand it?"

Jiang Xingbing asked, "Dad, did Xu the educated youth mention how much each position costs?"

Indeed, although the opportunity is rare, if it’s too expensive, they really can’t afford it.

"Two hundred!"

"Two hundred?" Jiang Xingyong said, "That’s... dirt cheap!"

It was indeed extremely cheap, but clearly, Xu Qinghuan was taking care of the Jiang Family. Yet, by accepting this deal, they felt it wouldn’t be right to take advantage of her.

To say the least, letting such a good opportunity go, no one was willing.

"Can’t go by this price." The old Jiang patriarch asked, "How much money is left at home?"

Zhou Guizhi said, "The family has a little over seven hundred yuan, but it’s not enough for two jobs!"

The old Jiang patriarch glanced at the matriarch, who retrieved a handkerchief from under her pillow. Slowly opening it, inside was a roll of money. She counted it, left a few yuan on her person, and handed the rest to Jiang Baohua.

"I still have more than a hundred yuan here, don’t think it’s too little, take it."

Jiang Baohua didn’t take it, Zhou Guizhi’s nose turned sour, "Mom, how could we take money from you two elders!"

The old Jiang matriarch said, "A job costs five hundred yuan, not a penny less, see how much is short, write an IOU, once you start work and get paid, give it all back to Huanhuan."

The old Jiang matriarch continued, "This child is good, she’s been helping you four brothers, in the future, you can’t mistreat Xingye and his wife! If there’s any guilt, when your grandfather and I are underground, we won’t forgive you!"

Jiang Xingbing, the eldest, stepped forward to assure, "Grandpa, Grandma, if we act like that, then we wouldn’t be human, we’d be animals!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, rest assured, we certainly won’t do such an animal thing." Jiang Xingyong said, "However, Dad, for now, let’s not say anything about this matter, I have something else to handle!"

"What is it?" Jiang Baohua glared at him. Such a big happy event, wanting him to keep it secret, frankly, he didn’t want to keep it secret.

Jiang Xingmei took advantage of the night to visit Jiang Xingye’s home. As expected, Xu Qinghuan was also there, explaining a math problem to Jiang Xingye.

"You’ve almost mastered middle school knowledge. Next year in the first half, do you want to take the graduation exam and get a diploma?" Xu Qinghuan suggested.

"Hmm, I’ll listen to you!" Jiang Xingye looked at his girlfriend, his eyes shining with a glow, his eyebrows and eyes filled with warmth and affection.

"Brother, stop being mushy!"

Jiang Xingmei came in, sat angrily on the side, "I realize now, a woman is redundant from the moment she’s born, unwanted by her own family, and a stranger at her in-laws in the future!"

Xu Qinghuan laughed, "Who provoked you this time?"

Jiang Xingmei said, "Every time something happens at home, Dad, Mom, and four brothers go to Grandpa and Grandma’s room to discuss. It’s happened several times. Aren’t they just guarding against us?"

Jiang Xingye glanced at her, "None of your business. Why do you want to know?"

Jiang Xingmei was annoyed, "Brother, aren’t you annoying?"

"If you’re annoyed, don’t be here. Why bother with such trivial matters?" Jiang Xingye said sternly.

Originally, he was somewhat displeased with her presence, ruining his own good time.

Jiang Xingmei was angrily teary-eyed with grievances, but dared not say more.

Xu Qinghuan asked Jiang Xingye, "Did you run into Yu Fei yesterday and talked to him about what I asked?"

Jiang Xingye said, "I asked him directly, Zhao Jianjun indeed has issues with the female educated youth in their team. After the harvest, ask Uncle and Aunt to help cancel the engagement for you."

Jiang Xingmei felt as if hit by lightning. Though she had no feelings for Zhao Jianjun, it was uncomfortable for anyone to be cheated on.

Xu Qinghuan saw Jiang Xingmei’s face turn pale, glared at Jiang Xingye, this guy was thoroughly straightforward, not speaking with any tact. If faced with a sensitive heart, they’d be driven to despair.

"What’s there to be upset about? No looks, no personality, is he worth it?" Jiang Xingye resented her lack of sensibility.

Jiang Xingmei was furious, her tears falling down, "Brother, you’re so annoying, can you stop talking? If my sister-in-law fell for someone else, would you also not be upset and act like nothing happened?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Xingye’s face turned dark, "You actually dare compare Zhao Jianjun to Huanhuan? Do you have any sense?"

Jiang Xingmei angrily said, "I don’t, I’m mindless, okay? That’s why he likes the female educated youth, not me!"

"Why do you care if he likes you?" Jiang Xingye said, "He’s no good so why care if he likes someone. I said it earlier, this bastard isn’t decent!"

Jiang Xingmei started sobbing, "You’re just good at hindsight, why didn’t you stop early on back then?"

Jiang Xingye actually mentioned it before, but this match was guaranteed by Tang Quan, Jiang Baohua, for the sake of face, thought the Zhao Family was alright, having a brother in the army, assuming the family would be well-mannered, Zhao Jianjun was quite honest, thinking his daughter wouldn’t suffer marrying him, so agreed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After all, since she wasn’t his immediate sister, Jiang Xingye wasn’t in a position to strongly oppose.

Xu Qinghuan pushed Jiang Xingye, "Stop talking!"

Jiang Xingye, irritated by Jiang Xingmei’s crying, turned away from the two and resumed his homework.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If you really like him, I’ll find a way to help you win him back!"

"What treasure, why bother?" Jiang Xingye couldn’t hold back.

Xu Qinghuan held back, eventually glaring sternly at the back of his head.

Jiang Xingmei didn’t mind, "Don’t like him, I just feel a bit ashamed, people will surely say I’m somehow bad, otherwise, why would Zhao Jianjun choose someone else and not me."

Xu Qinghuan understood, "No, if we handle things well, you’ll be seen in a favorable light, people will criticize Zhao Jianjun and the female educated youth instead."

Jiang Xingmei’s eyes lit up, "How to handle?"

Before Xu Qinghuan could speak, Hu Hai rushed in, "Brother Ye, Brother Ye, hurry! Something’s happened, Xingyong is fighting with someone!"
