Chapter 943 What a spendthrift son...
Jiang Wenming thought to himself, "That's right, Yue Jiarou and Jiang Wenxing are already engaged and looking at wedding dates. They're family. How could such a good thing happen to me?"
Just as the two of them were silent, Fu Jingyu's stomach suddenly started growling loudly.
He asked somewhat shyly, "Little sister, little uncle, I'm hungry. Could you give me something to eat?"
Jiang Wenming looked at the person standing next to him. He had gained another nephew. However, according to the seniority of Old Master Fu, he should indeed call him uncle.
Jiang Jiyun glanced at her uncle, then went over and led Fu Jingyu and his dog back to the entrance of the small courtyard next door.
At this moment, they noticed that Zhao Huashan and Han Tao were standing on the ladder watching them.
Upon seeing them, Jiang Jiyun greeted them, "Brother Huashan, can you see my brother and the others here? Do you still have food at home?"
Zhao Huashan quickly climbed down the ladder, supporting himself, and replied, "There are also the three bowls of vegetable wontons that Xiaotian bought earlier."
Jiang Jiyun turned to Jing Yu and said, "I'll add two more fried eggs for you, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him, "Sure, sure, thank you! I haven't had a proper meal in days, thank you so much!"
Jiang Wenming went to the kitchen to fry eggs, and Jiang Jiyun, smelling the aroma in the yard, called out, "Uncle, fry a few more eggs, we want some too!"
Just as Fu Jingyu picked up his spoon to eat, Jiang Jiyuan arrived with his wife's two sisters.
Yue Jiayu looked at the wontons and said, "Although I'm a little chubby, I haven't eaten all day. Could you give us a bowl?"
Jiang Jiyun turned around and ran to the kitchen, bringing out two more bowls of wontons and placing them on the table.
Yue Jiarou sat down and looked at the two poached eggs on the wontons, along with a chicken leg.
Fu Jingyu also saw the chicken leg under the wontons in the child's bowl. He turned his head and looked at the child sitting on a small stool with his bowl in hand, eating the fried egg with chopsticks.
Seeing his younger sister's face covered in oil from eating, Jiang Jiyuan went over, took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for her, and said, "Xiaoyun, I want to talk to you about something!"
Jiang Jiyun raised her head, her gaze falling on her older brother, wondering what he wanted to say.
However, at this moment, Yue Jiayu came over and put a chicken leg in her bowl.
Moreover, Yue Jiarou, who was standing to the side, seemed to have the same idea.
Jiang Jiyun quickly declined, saying, "Aunt Wenxing, Auntie, I really don't want to eat chicken legs. I'm already tired of them!"
Yue Jiarou did not give up despite Jiang Jiyun's refusal. She insisted on putting the chicken leg into Jiang Jiyun's bowl and said, "Silly child, we all know you are a filial and good child. But what are the conditions now? How could you possibly get tired of eating chicken legs? Saying that only makes us believe that you are just saying that because you don't want to eat them."
Jiang Jiyun felt a sense of helplessness after hearing Yue Jiarou's words.
She really wasn't lying. She didn't actually have that much filial piety towards Yue Jiarou and the others. She was genuinely tired of eating those chicken legs!
Jiang Jiyun then realized that no one really believed her when she told the truth.
Jiang Jiyuan and Jiang Wenming watched this scene from the side, and they knew very well that Jiang Jiyun was telling the truth.
Along the way, they have seen all sorts of ways to cook chicken legs: braised chicken legs, fried chicken legs, stewed chicken legs... These chicken legs have been a staple of their day.
They couldn't help but wonder where the child got so many chicken legs.
Recently, not only Jiang Jiyun has gotten tired of eating chicken legs, but even the adults aren't as interested in them anymore.
"I'll give you mine too!" Fu Jingyu brought over the bowl.
Jiang Jiyun quickly returned the chicken leg in the bowl to the two sisters. She stood up and hid behind Jiang Wenming, saying, "I'm not hungry right now. I just smelled the aroma and my mouth is watering. I'll just eat two eggs."
Jiang Wenming explained with a smile, "Look how chubby she is, it's obvious she hasn't gone hungry. You guys eat quickly, it's too hot today, the food will spoil tomorrow, and that would be a real waste."
Jiang Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three people finally go back to the table and sit down to eat.
Jiang Jiyuan pulled his sister along and walked towards the room without saying a word.
Jiang Wenming sat quietly at the doorway, standing guard for them.
Zhao Huashan seemed to sense Jiang Jiyuan's intention. He understood and led Han Tao to the courtyard gate, cautiously observing the surroundings to prevent anyone from coming.
After entering the room, Jiang Jiyuan and Jiang Jiyun sat facing each other, and for a moment they felt a little awkward.
Seeing her brother's hesitant expression, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but wonder what he was up to.
Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but break the silence, saying irritably, "Just say what you want to say, don't be so coy. If you're asking for money, you've come to the wrong person. I'm dirt poor myself!"
Jiang Jiyuan was speechless after his sister's words. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say another word.
He watched as his sister finished speaking, then lowered her head, quickly ate the last bite of egg, and slowly put down her chopsticks before raising her head to look at herself.
Jiang Jiyun's gaze was fixed on Jiang Jiyuan, as if trying to see through his eyes to his heart.
After a while, she suddenly asked, "Big brother, are you planning to buy the Yue family's gold mine with your own money?"
Jiang Jiyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "Mm."
Jiang Jiyun's brows furrowed immediately, and a hint of nervousness crept into her voice: "How much more are you lacking?"
After doing the calculations, Jiang Jiyuan's ears slowly turned red. He hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "When the Yue family bought it, they bought a barren mountain. The price wasn't expensive; it was fifty large yellow croakers."
"So, brother, how much money do you still need?"
Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister awkwardly and whispered, "I only have fifty silver dollars."
“You…you…you…” Jiang Jiyun’s finger trembled as she pointed at him.
Today she finally understood the joke about borrowing money online: borrowing money to buy a house worth one million, but only having ten thousand, so borrowing nine hundred and ninety thousand.
"You poor wretch who doesn't even own a single croaker wants to buy a gold mine???" Jiang Jiyun's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.
Jiang Jiyuan saw his sister's eyes almost turn cross-eyed as she fell backward.
Jiang Jiyun collapsed onto the grass, sobbing, "No matter how busy I am, it's not enough to support your extravagant spending! I still have nephews and nieces to raise! You spendthrift..."
