However, what the carpenter was thinking, the Jiang family did not know. Right now, the four members of the family were discussing where to place the table in the most conspicuous spot in the living room.
Although the living room was not big, the table wouldn’t take up much space.
And from what they could see, their life was definitely going to get better. In the future, they even planned to buy some of the trendy things of the time. They wouldn’t always have to sneak around like they did today.
The original Jiang Chuan lived a very constrained life, thinking of which made him uncomfortable.
Now he was no longer the previous Jiang Chuan, he wanted to change the image of Jiang Chuan in the hearts of the people.
However, considering the current social development trend, he also couldn’t be too flashy. Of course, being too naive and honest was not suitable either. Since he was here, everything should start from scratch. In short, he should first achieve results before discussing anything else.
Originally, he had planned to hide the table to the side, but after thinking about it, Jiang Chuan felt it was completely unnecessary, so he confidently placed the table in the center.
Jiang Xia’s ideas coincided with Jiang Chuan’s.
Why should their family, who also worked hard to earn a living, be more miserable than others?
Jiang Xia even felt that their father should show off his skills to them first, to let them know that Jiang Chuan was not the same as before.
To avoid the Jiang family constantly making trouble and disrupting their life.
But Jiang Chuan didn’t know Jiang Xia’s thoughts. If he knew, their father would probably give his daughter a big thumbs up.
If they were to change, they should change completely.
After the matter of the table was settled, the family finally had time to prepare the adobe that they owed when building the house. They were busy for a while before they finally paid off the adobe that they owed.
After repaying the adobe, the family of four was completely free.
After getting some free time, Jiang Xia remembered the fish she had been raising in her interspace.
Considering that the village chief had helped her family so much, she should give him a fresh fish to taste, and her family could also enjoy it in their spare time.
Jiang Gu was no longer surprised by his sister’s abilities and even looked forward to one day being as strong as his sister.
As for giving away the fish, Jiang Xia decided to make a cover-up first, so she took Jiang Gu to the river, intending to tell the village chief later that the fish was caught from the river.
The two sisters leisurely went to the river and immediately saw someone washing vegetables by the river.
It had been dry for a while, and the small river was nearly dry, with only a few shallow ditches still holding some water.
They couldn’t figure out why someone would come to the small river to wash vegetables?
“Sister, it’s grandma.” Xiao Gu immediately recognized the person washing vegetables by the river. Due to her previous fear for Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Gu hid behind Jiang Xia after speaking.
“Grandma? Old Madam Jiang?” It had been a long time since Jiang Xia had seen the Jiang family, and she had almost forgotten about them.
“It’s her, I’m sure I didn’t recognize her wrongly.” Jiang Gu said cautiously yet firmly.
“Why is she here all of a sudden?” As far as Jiang Xia knew, Old Madam Jiang usually left the housework to her two daughters-in-law. Why was she doing the work today?
“Sister, let’s go, don’t let grandma see us.” The closer Jiang Gu got to Old Madam Jiang, the more afraid she became.
“What’s the matter? What will happen if she sees us? We’ve already separated from them.” Jiang Xia wasn’t afraid of her. Besides, what could Old Madam Jiang really do to them?
“What if grandma takes you away and sells you when mom and dad are not paying attention? Our oldest sister was sold away by grandma.” Every time Jiang Gu saw Old Madam Jiang, she thought of the scene where her oldest sister was sold away. She always remembered Old Madam Jiang saying that she was going to sell her second sister.
She knew what kind of person Old Madam Jiang was, especially now that their parents were not around. What if Old Madam Jiang really caught Jiang Xia and sold her?
“It’s okay. If she dares to, you run home and find mom and dad. They won’t let her off easily. Xiao Gu, we are different from before now.”
Jiang Gu stopped and thought carefully, feeling that what her sister said made sense. Then she said indignantly, “Yes, I’ve almost learned all the kung fu mom taught me.. When 1 grow up a little bit more, I will take revenge for my oldest sister, beat up grandma, and show her how powerful I am!”
