Chapter 331: Chapter 29: The Cannon Fodder Sister-in-Law in the Favorite Daughter Story

"Then bring it all over, let your brother use it first. Anyway, as a woman, you don’t need much money, Xie Jian can earn it. First, give me five hundred, and tomorrow I’m planning to let Jinbao stay at your house for a while. The new house can ward off the bad luck, and your brother will be more comfortable living there.

Tonight, clean up the room with Xie Jian and empty it out, so he can come over and move your brother tomorrow."

Jiang Lai smiled, looking easygoing.

"Where will we live if he moves in?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"The Xie family has so many rooms, you can live anywhere. Your brother’s health is the most important now! Hurry up, go back and get the money, then pack your things and move out."

Jiang Lai nodded, suddenly remembering something, looking troubled.

"Mom, of course I want to help, but you know my mother-in-law’s temper. If she finds out, she definitely won’t let me give money or move the house."

"You guys have split the family, what can she control? If she dares to make a fuss, I’ll back you up!"

The thought of Jiang Lai having so much money made Liu Yan anxious, as if a cat were scratching her heart. How could this cheap girl dare to hold on to so much money, and not give it all to her? Was she planning to keep it for herself?

Thinking of this, Liu Yan became a bit annoyed, her expression turning cold as she looked at Jiang Lai, who was just standing there.

"Go quickly, do you want me to carry you in a sedan chair?"

"Mom, all the money at my house is in whole ten-dollar amounts. If I give it all to you, what will Xie Jian and I eat?"

Liu Yan glared at her impatiently.

"Don’t you two have hands and feet to earn food? Are you reluctant to give it? I raised you, fed you, found you such a good husband, and now when it’s your turn to repay me, you’re reluctant?"

"I’m willing, I’ll go get the money now. How about this, Mom, you give me a few dollars first so I can borrow a bit from others to make it a round number, and then put it in a red envelope as a gift for you. Then you can say it’s from me, and let everyone see, okay?"

Liu Yan figured she wouldn’t dare to lie and asked impatiently.

"How much do you need to make it even?"

"Five hundred and six, such an auspicious number, and it’s good to hear. That’s enough money for Jinbao to get a wife!"

Hearing the amount made Liu Yan’s heart soar. So much money, back then, they only got two hundred for Jiang Lai’s marriage. If she had known Jiang Lai was so valuable, she would have kept her at home longer!

For the first time, Liu Yan was so generous, she directly handed Jiang Lai eight dollars, urging her to come back quickly after getting the rest of the money.

"Come New Year, I’ll set a place for your chopsticks at the table!"

Jiang Lai looked flattered and surprised.

"Mom, you treat me so well."

"I’m your mother, I treat you well, and you should treat Jinbao well in the future, remember? Jinbao is the only man in our Jiang Family, he’s the one to carry on our family name! Look at your sisters, useless. They only know how to have babies after getting married and don’t think of sending anything back to their mother’s house!

Xie Jian is capable, so you should take good care of him. Bring money to your mother every month, as long as Jinbao remembers your goodness, there will be family to support you if your in-laws bully you!

Remember, having a man in your mother’s house is the only way for you to have a good and stable life!"

Jiang Lai nodded repeatedly, agreeing with everything Liu Yan said.

With the money in her pocket, Jiang Lai walked out of the house, her three busy sisters outside were still surprised.

She didn’t bring anything, and their mother didn’t scold her! And she was sent out with good words!

As she was leaving, Jiang Lai also took a few eggs from the chicken coop, putting them in her pocket to take away.

Right on cue, the voice of Jiang Jinbao came from inside.

"Where’s my egg custard!? Are you trying to starve me!!"

Liu Yan hurriedly threw down the work in her hands and went to the chicken coop to get eggs. She had purposely raised three hens, each laying three eggs a day, one steamed, one boiled, and one egg custard, all for Jiang Jinbao.

But today, she reached in and felt nothing, only a handful of chicken droppings.

Where are the eggs?

Weren’t there supposed to be two more?

Why aren’t there any?!

Immediately, Liu Yan turned her anger towards the most gluttonous Ms. Jiang, grabbing a stick from beside the wall and hitting her while cursing.

"How dare you eat! Stealing your brother’s food, see how it doesn’t kill you!"

Ms. Jiang was full of grievance but didn’t know how to explain. She really hadn’t eaten them, but the eggs were gone. Originally, she was there to bring things and help out but ended up without a bite and got beaten, losing face.

"Get out! Useless thing!"

Ms. Jiang left in tears, with her child, without taking a ride to save money, and walked to the town.

On the other side, Jiang Lai didn’t go home with the money either; she went directly to the field to find Xie Jian.

The man was diligent, helping the harvest team carry grain, easily carrying five sacks into the warehouse under the blazing sun with his bare torso.

Seeing Jiang Lai, he walked over without hesitation.

"Why are you here in this heat?"

"Are you done?"

"Yeah, just finished."

"Let’s wash up by the river and go to town to eat, let’s have braised pork in the state-run restaurant!"

Xie Jian didn’t ask anything, just turned to the river. He wet his clothes, wiped his body, and then wore the wrung-out clothes; the wind dried them quickly.

Jiang Lai took his hand, ignoring others’ gazes, walking straight ahead.

At first, Xie Jian felt a bit awkward, but soon he was holding Jiang Lai’s hand tightly, his rough, broad palm enveloping hers, warm and clammy.

In the town’s state-run restaurant, Jiang Lai lavishly ordered several dishes, the main course being rice. Seeing freshly made pastries, each costing more than a dollar, Jiang Lai also ordered a serving without hesitation to try.

It was too sweet, not very tasty, but fortunately, Xie Jian wasn’t picky. What Jiang Lai couldn’t finish, he poured into his bowl and finished it all.

"We still have some left, let’s check the supply and marketing cooperative."

Anyway, she had tickets now, might as well use them.

At the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Lai spent five dollars of her cloth tickets to buy some fabric for Xie Jian, then took him inside and pointed at the bicycle with a red ribbon inside.

"Shall we buy one?"

"How much does one cost?"

"About a hundred and fifty, I have the tickets, money is not an issue."

Jiang Lai waved the bicycle ticket in her hand.

These are treasures, the most valuable are the tickets.

"If you want it, we’ll buy it."

He didn’t know how to ride a bicycle and had never even touched one.

The village chief had one, and it was very convenient to ride it to the town. Normal families wouldn’t think of buying one, let alone afford it, a one hundred and fifty-yuan bicycle was something only a few wealthy families would buy as a wedding gift.

Jiang Lai hardly hesitated, rare to see it in stock; she directly paid the money and gave the tickets, pushing the bicycle out with a load of food and supplies hanging from the handlebars.

In one trip, they spent nearly two hundred yuan, the extravagance of which would shock the villagers if they heard about it.
