After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 176 - Quite Different from Before

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Quite Different from Before

At that moment, Er Ya suddenly asked a question, “San Ya, why didn’t you go to school today?”

Jiang Mianmian somewhat embarrassedly scratched her face and said, “I accidentally overslept.”

Her dad had called her twice in the morning but couldn’t wake her, so he let her continue sleeping.

Then Jiang Changhe asked, “San Ya, is your dad at home?”

Now that Zhaodi wasn’t doing chores, she would definitely be scolded by her grandmother.

So, the only way for Zhaodi to do less work and properly recuperate was for her to work more.

Er Ya followed her and said, “Elder sister, I’ll help you.”

Watching the two girls tirelessly working all afternoon, Zhang Guihua understood their intentions and didn’t say much.

After all, there wasn’t much work required in the winter, and the two girls, Da Ya and Er Ya, could completely handle it.

She decided to give a sweet deal to the Second Branch, to ensure they continued to obey her unquestioningly in the future.

Had it been earlier, Zhang Guihua wouldn’t have cared about the opinions of the Second Branch.

But ever since Eldest started organizing a division of the family, and the Third Branch acted as a stick in the mud, only the Second Branch openly declared they would follow their lead, did she realize the useful role the Second Branch played in the family.

Having understood these matters, Zhang Guihua immediately went to the Second Branch’s house, where Zhao Xiaojuan was sewing a cotton-padded jacket for Zhaodi.

This jacket was already old, and in Old Man Ge’s haste to rescue Zhaodi, he had accidentally damaged it.

Seeing her mother-in-law walk in, her first instinct was that she had come to scold them.

She quickly thought about what she might have done wrong, aside from her disobedience in insisting on taking Zhaodi to the hospital, she had always listened to her mother-in-law.

Jiang Mianmian shook her head, “No, my dad went with my mom to get a leave of absence for me from school.”

In fact, they were out enjoying some couple’s time and took the opportunity to request the leave.

So, Jiang Changhe took out all the money from his pocket and handed it to her, sternly instructing, “San Ya, this is the remaining eleven yuan and thirty cents, keep it safe and give it to your dad when he returns.”

He was afraid the old lady would come asking for it and felt awkward about refusing her.

If the money ended up in his mother’s hands, naturally it would never be returned to his elder brother; after all, a mother asking her son for ten-plus yuan was perfectly natural.

“Mmm, I’ll put it in the cabinet.” Jiang Mianmian nodded seriously and then went back to her room to read.

Although she didn’t have to attend school today and had finished all the homework assigned by her teacher, she had developed a good habit of self-study.

The system felt quite reassured by this.

She had just left when the old lady entered the room demanding money, “Let Second give me the leftover money!”

She had been so angry she’d forgotten about this issue.

“I gave it all to Uncle, we ran into Uncle and Auntie on the way home,” Jiang Changhe was about to speak when Zhaodi preempted him.

She wasn’t really trying to save money for the First Branch, but knew that if the money went to her grandmother, her parents would definitely end up repaying the First Branch twenty yuan.

The old lady on hearing this, was so angry she puffed her beard and glared, “Who told you to give it to Eldest!”

But she had no choice and could only walk away in a huff.

The people of the Second Branch, watching Zhaodi calmly tell the lie, felt she seemed different from before but couldn’t pinpoint what had changed.

After a quiet moment, Da Ya took the lead and said, “Zhaodi, you rest well, I’ll take care of all the chores.”

Zhaodi had fallen into the water the day before, and the clothing that had ended up on the riverbank, she had also picked them up and hung them in the courtyard.

Thankfully, the family’s clothes were not lost, otherwise her grandmother might have really had some sharp words for them.

Zhang Guihua glanced around the room and forced a smile, saying, “Second’s wife, Zhaodi is sick, so let her rest at home for a couple of days, and let Da Ya and Er Ya take care of the chores for now.”
