Chapter 518 My uncle wants to stay with me
"Well, wait until we're done eating and let your mom tell you slowly. Now let's eat glutinous rice balls first. Eating glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival symbolizes reunion!"
As Jiang Duoduo spoke, she raised the small bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of her. The others followed suit and raised their small bowls, just like clinking glasses when drinking. They gathered together and clinked their glasses lightly.
"A happy family reunion!"
"Happily ever after!"
"Happy New Year and great fortune!"
Jiang Duoduo seems to be so obsessed with money that she likes to add "make a fortune" after all her blessings.
……
In the next few days, Jiang Duoduo worked with her aunt to help her cousins transfer schools.
When Wu Bo learned that Chen Shumin and the children were moving to the town, he immediately packed up his things and followed them.
At first he thought that Chen Shumin's wealthy second sister had bought them a house in town.
Just when I was happily thinking about how to get the house into my own hands, Chen Shumin said that this was her niece Jiang Duoduo's house.
Her niece bought this house so that she could have a place of her own to stay when she came to visit relatives during the New Year, not specifically for Chen Shumin.
The reason why Chen Shumin and her children were allowed to live there was just to help look after the house.
Wu Bo became unhappy when he heard this. He started yelling in front of Chen Shumin, saying that her family was stingy and was so rich but still reluctant to buy a house for a poor girl.
"Who are you calling stingy? Your relatives are generous. Why don't you ask your elder brother, your younger brother, and your two younger sisters to buy you an apartment in town?"
Chen Shumin was so angry that she directly retorted to Wu Bo.
She has now moved out with her children and doesn't plan to indulge Wu Bo's bad habits anymore.
Life has to go on, so be it. Chen Shumin feels that she can live without him, Wu Bo.
"This... How can this be the same? My brother, my younger brother, and my younger sister, their lives are only slightly better than ours. How can they afford to buy us a house?"
"Your second sister's family is different. Doesn't she own a shop and her daughter own a big hotel? They are so rich, buying us a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in town is just like buying groceries. They are reluctant to spend such a small amount of money. Isn't that stingy?"
The cooked duck suddenly flew away, and Wu Bo felt so bitter that he almost threw vinegar at Chen Shumin's family.
"Uncle, who are you calling stingy?"
Jiang Duoduo knew that her uncle-in-law had come along with her with no good intentions.
As soon as the man entered the door, he showed a greedy look on his face. He looked at the convenience store in front and the house behind like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat.
He even secretly pulled his aunt aside to talk while the others were upstairs. Jiang Duoduo knew he was up to something.
"No... no! You must have heard me wrong. I just said this house is really nice!"
Wu Bo didn't know why, but among Chen Shumin's family members, he was a little afraid of his niece named Jiang Duoduo.
As expected, people who can make a lot of money are extraordinary. Just looking at the aura in her voice, Wu Bo felt a little nervous when listening to her.
"Oh... I think this house is nice too. Auntie, there's some goods at the convenience store that I need you to take inventory of. How about we go upstairs?"
Jiang Duoduo found an excuse to call her aunt to the convenience store in front, so that she would not say anything unpleasant and make her aunt feel uncomfortable.
She knew that her aunt didn't want to break up with her yet, but Jiang Duoduo would not let her uncle take advantage of her.
"Oh, okay... then I'll go with you to take inventory."
Just as Chen Shumin was about to go to the convenience store with Jiang Duoduo, she suddenly turned back and said to Wu Bo, "If you're okay, go back early! There are so many people here, there's no room for you, a man!"
"I heard Nannan say there are four rooms upstairs. How come there's not enough for me? Chen Shumin, are we still a family? You and the kids live in town. How can it make sense for me to live alone in the village?"
"Besides, I'm going to start working in a few days. You and your mother live in such a nice house in town, and I have to squeeze into a dormitory with my fellow workers. How can I afford to lose face like this?"
Wu Bo stuck his neck out and talked to Chen Shumin in a babble that made Jiang Duoduo feel it was a shame for him not to work in sales with such a good eloquence.
Wu Bo really likes Jiang Duoduo's house. Even if the house does not belong to him, he can at least live there!
At this moment, he didn't care whether his niece Jiang Duoduo was there or not. The most important thing was to fight for his own interests.
"Wu Bo, what are you yelling at me for? Does being loud mean you're right? You bet the world is right, this house isn't mine. I'm just living here for free. How dare you bring a burden like you along?"
"Puch..."
When Jiang Duoduo heard her aunt say that Wu Bo was a burden, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What the hell..."
When Wu Bo heard the word "burden", he was so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot.
He thought Chen Shumin was really crazy.
Now that I have my mother’s family’s support, I can speak without thinking.
"Why are you still cursing?"
As soon as Jiang Duoduo heard Wu Bo speak, she knew that he had nothing good to say, so she shouted at her uncle in annoyance.
"No... I didn't curse..."
"Duoduo, um... I just want to ask, can my uncle come live in your house? You know the factory where I work is in town, so it would be very convenient for me to live and work here."
When Wu Bo saw that his wife was not convinced, he turned to Jiang Duoduo.
He thought, after all, everyone is a relative, this niece can't be so heartless!
"Of course I have no objection to my uncle coming to live here. We're all relatives. But... I heard that your relationship with my aunt doesn't seem to be very good. I'm worried that if you live here, we'll quarrel every day. That wouldn't be good."
Xiao Jiang Duoduo deliberately said the word "quarrel" loudly.
"No, no...why would I quarrel with your aunt? That's absolutely not the case."
As Wu Bo spoke, he winked at Chen Shumin, meaning that she should quickly say something good for him.
Chen Shumin held her cell phone and kept dialing it, pretending she heard nothing.
"Since you didn't argue with my aunt, then why didn't my uncle-in-law give his salary to my aunt for safekeeping? My mom said that a woman managing the money in a family will increase the sense of happiness!"
"If my uncle is willing to hand over his salary on time every month and promise not to drink while living with me, then I welcome him to come and live with me. After all, more people means more fun, right?"
"Huh? You're handing in all your wages? Can I...can I keep a few hundred pocket money?"
Wu Bo was stunned when he heard about turning in his salary. How could he have handed over his own money before he even got his house? Without his salary, how could he buy alcohol?
No, this girl just said that you can’t drink alcohol when living here. Oh my god, does this girl want to kill me?
