After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Size is Just Right

Yu Cheng was indeed a child who valued relationships deeply, as evidenced by his long journey from the Capital City to find his uncle.

Listening to her parents’ conversation, Jiang Mianmian’s reluctance to part was eased considerably. She looked at her dad and said, “Dad, you must be tired after the trip, let’s find somewhere to rest for a while.”

Jiang Changhai shook his head, “Not tired, just a little hungry. Have you and mom eaten yet?”

“We haven’t eaten yet. We were waiting for you to come back so we could eat together.” Su Wanyu blinked, her tone dripping with tenderness and consideration.

Jiang Mianmian didn’t expose her mother’s loving lie.

Jiang Changhai was quite pleased with the care from his wife and daughter. Holding one by each hand, he said cheerfully, “I haven’t eaten either, come on, let’s go to the state-run restaurant to get some good food.”

The family went to the state-run restaurant and had a splendid meal. After they were full and satisfied, Jiang Changhai went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bought several pounds of pork.

Thinking of the cotton shoes his parents had worn for years, patched and mended until they were barely recognizable, he also bought two pairs of thick cotton shoes.

The family returned home with a full load. Sun Lixia saw that the eldest’s family had brought so much stuff and remarked sarcastically, “Wow, big brother, sister-in-law, you went shopping in town again. Changtao and I don’t even go to town once a year, unlike you who go there every few days and always come back with so much. You’re different from us now that you have money.”

Jiang Changhai ignored Sun Xiaoli’s sour words and went straight into the main room with the items, taking out the shoes and meat he had bought for the elderly couple and placing them on the table.

“Dad, Mom, this meat and these cotton shoes are our way of showing you respect. You’ve worked hard all year, and you should eat something good to replenish yourselves. These cotton shoes are the best that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative sells, they’re very warm.”

Zhang Guihua was initially unhappy when she heard the words of her younger daughter-in-law, feeling that her eldest son was too extravagant, willing to buy anything requested by his wife and daughter.

But when she saw the things her eldest son had bought for her, her mood instantly shifted from clouds to sunshine, “Eldest, I always knew you were the most filial.”

She held onto the cotton shoes, touching them lovingly for a while before trying them on. They fit just right.

Then, wearing her new shoes, she happily walked around the room a couple of times, her smile impossible to suppress.

Although Jiang Dashan didn’t show as much visible joy as she did, knowing that his son was thinking of him made him very happy inside.

Seeing the new cotton shoes on the old lady’s feet, Su Lixia couldn’t hide her jealousy, “Mom, Changtao and I just don’t have money. If we did, we’d definitely be more filial than big brother.”

But no one paid any attention to her sour words, as sweet words mean little compared to those who act upon their filial piety.

At that moment, Jiang Dashan suddenly asked, “Eldest, why didn’t Yu Cheng come back with you?”

“Yu Cheng went back to the Capital City with his uncle. They left in the afternoon, the train should have already departed,” Jiang Changhai briefly explained.

After hearing this, Zhang Guihua sighed with a sense of loss, “That child, why did he leave without saying a word?”

Since receiving gifts twice, Yu Cheng’s status in Zhang Guihua’s heart had risen sharply, and she no longer minded that he ate a lot.

After all, they had accepted so much money and nice things from him, so it would only be right to cook meat dishes for the child with every meal, especially since he only ate their simple food.

So now, hearing that Yu Cheng had left so suddenly, Zhang Guihua truly felt reluctant to let him go, “When will he come to our place again? Next time, I’ll make braised pork for him every day.”
