Chapter 804: The Jiang Family (1)
“Father, where is Second Uncle spending the New Year?” Ling Sheng looked forward and sniffled. Her eyes felt sore, and her heart felt suffocated.
“With your Fifth Uncle.” Huo Ci sighed internally. Where else could he have gone? Besides Fifth Brother, everyone else had a family to take care of. How could he not be discovered anywhere else? He could only hide at his place.
“Oh!” Ling Sheng nodded. She was dejected as she looked out of the car window. She did not know when it had started snowing again.
The grandmothers of the Yan Family were spending their new year so miserably. Ling Sheng wondered what Nun Jing An was doing at the moment. She did not use social media, and she did not even have a phone. She could not contact her even if she wanted to.
Ever since they had met back then, she had been very busy. Before leaving, she had promised to visit her and eat vegetarian food together, but she had not gone there once.
The Jiang Family was a big family, so it was very lively. Her Fourth Uncle was the fourth son, and he had three older sisters above him. They did not care much about the customs. They all returned to their maternal family during the Lunar New Year. Like the Su Family, the old and the young had lived in the same house for four generations; there were more than 20 people in total.
The children of the Jiang Family’s elder sisters were even older than Ling Sheng, but they had not gotten married. The eldest sister was already 32 years old, and the youngest older brother was two months older than Ling Sheng.
When Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi arrived, they became the youngest juniors of the lot to be pampered. Their hands went limp from receiving red packets, and were surrounded by a group of elder brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties who showered them with concern. They had endless things to say and endless questions to ask.
In the end, when she was leaving, the family even stopped her. They could not bear to part with her and had insisted that she spend the night at home. They will send her back tomorrow morning.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, Jiang Rong, even carried Xiaoqi away and hid him. In the end, Jiang Zhe dragged her out helplessly. “Eldest Sister, what are you doing? If you like grandchildren, get Yaoyao to marry quickly and give birth to one for you. It’s fine even if she doesn’t get married and just has a child. Our Jiang Family can afford to raise them.”
Sigh… Look at how old she was. Why was she hiding someone else’s child?
“Fourth Brother, tell Yaoyao to give birth to a grandchild for me quickly.” Jiang Rong was already close to 50 years old. There were only two years left. When she saw her peers carrying a grandchild, she felt envious.
In the past, she had been able to comfort herself by comparing with Aunt Xiyin. Aunt Xiyin was already 60 years old, but she kept talking about not getting to carry a grandchild every day.
However, Sixth Brother had not only brought back a daughter now but also a grandson. They were both so very adorable too. Aunt Xiyin was probably smiling even in her dreams.
“How can I tell her? I’m her uncle,” Jiang Zhe sighed and shouted, “Sixth Brother, stop looking. Xiaoqi is here!”
When Huo Ci carried Xiaoqi away, he frowned. “Elder Sister, are you still a child? If you want a grandchild, get Yaoyao to bear one for you. Why did you snatch my grandson?”
Jiang Rong, who had already been reprimanded by her younger brother—and Huo Ci now, was annoyed. “I know, I know. I understand! Just you wait. I’ll get Yaoyao to give me a grandchild next year!”
Xiaoqi’s eyes were sharp, and he happened to see Ye Mengyao walk over from opposite him. He smiled and greeted her.
As if the matter was not troublesome enough, Huo Ci urged her. “Elder Sister, go ahead. Go and tell her that she’s already 32 years old. Is she still young? Tell her to get married quickly and give birth to a fat grandson for you.”
Jiang Rong looked at the duo in disdain and said hatefully, “How dare you two talk about others? Both of you are already 40 years old, yet you still don’t know how to start a family. Didn’t my Yaoyao learn this from you?”
