Chapter 1076 Old Mrs. Jiang: He Chen, you killed my son! (Day 42 of Saturday!)

Jiang Nansun remained calm.

Firstly, she was just using Xu Zhisen as a benchmark to prevent Ye Jinyan from going too far. In fact, she didn't want to sell the house to Xu Zhisen, just as she didn't want to sell it to Ruolan.

And her grandmother would definitely find it even harder to accept doing this.

Secondly, she felt that selling the house would clear the debts, leaving little money behind, which would be a good thing for the Jiang family, not a bad thing.

If there's still a lot of money left, then the biological father is definitely not giving up and is unwilling to live a good life. He will most likely use this money to try to make a comeback and cause even bigger trouble.

At that time, her family didn't have a second old house to sell.

She didn't mince words about this principle; when Ye Jinyan asked, she directly stated it in front of her father and grandmother.

This made Jiang Pengfei very embarrassed, and also made her grandmother very embarrassed, but her grandmother gave the final approval and decided to do it this way.

Compared to other loss of face, her grandmother could not accept that the Jiang family's ancestral property had been squandered by her own son and eventually sold to an illegitimate child.

Another benefit of Ye Jinyan taking over was that it immediately resolved the Jiang family's troubles.

Although the transfer of ownership and payment had not been made immediately, the fitness instructors waiting at the door and the debt collectors who came to collect the debts were all very accommodating and stopped pressuring him so much after learning that Ye Jinyan had taken over the house and that the proceeds from the sale could cover all the debts.

However, some people still stood guard outside the Jiang family's old mansion, promising to transfer the money immediately once the proceeds from the sale were received.

Although Jiang Pengfei was still somewhat unwilling, he could only grumble since his mother and his assertive daughter had made this decision.

He knew that if his daughter hadn't asked her aunt for help, he wouldn't have been able to sell the house with all its problems on his own.

Ye Jinyan is different. He has professionals under his command who can solve the biggest problem with the old house, the old lady, and restore the old house to its original state.

"After paying off all the debts, how much will we have left?" After everyone left, the old lady of the Jiang family talked to her son and granddaughter behind closed doors.

"We can't live here forever. We should make a down payment and buy a house. No matter what kind of house it is, it's always more reassuring to live in our own house!"

"After paying off all the debts, I only have a few hundred thousand left. It's impossible to buy a house!" Jiang Pengfei shook his head.

"Grandma, don't think about these things for now!" Jiang Nansun finally broke the ice: "Let's just rent a place to live!"
In the suburbs or even further away, a few hundred thousand might be enough for a down payment, but then what?

Who can afford to pay their monthly mortgage?
I'm still studying. Even if I quit now and immediately find a job and work hard to earn money, it will only be enough for us to live on, let alone afford the mortgage!

"As for Xiao Zhang..." Jiang Pengfei naturally turned his attention to He Chen.

“That won’t do!” Jiang Nansun refused directly: “It’s just a small two-bedroom apartment, it can’t possibly accommodate the three of us.”

"I'm not going to his place!" Old Mrs. Jiang said firmly.

Firstly, she really didn't want to go to He Chen's place.

Even when He Chen was at her house and she was eating normally, he would criticize her. If she went to his place in the future, she would be constantly scrutinized by him with the class-based gaze that she used to fear the most. That would be too terrifying, like going back to the past.

Secondly, she realized that even if she were willing to go back to the past and endure those days, He Chen would not agree.

In this situation, she naturally couldn't afford to lose face.

"I'll still find a job!" Jiang Pengfei said with a wry smile. Faced with his mother's question about what he could do, he continued with a wry smile: "I have hands and feet, I can always find a job. I've been idle all my life, so I might as well suffer a little. Consider it my retribution!"

“Working is hard work.” The old lady of the Jiang family still shook her head: “It would be better if you stopped speculating in stocks. You can just rent a place to live.” “Grandma is right!” Jiang Nansun nodded in agreement when he saw his grandmother looking at him: “As long as you don’t speculate in stocks, we will have no problem making a living. If we don’t want to be rich, we can live a simple life without starving.”

At your age, you shouldn't go to work. Working is not as easy as you imagine. Stay home and take care of Grandma. I'll go to work!
Let's take it slow!
As long as we don't do anything reckless, and the family is together happily, we might be happier than before!

"Nan Sun is right!" Old Mrs. Jiang nodded in approval.

She had no concept of simple meals; she only felt that as long as her son stopped speculating in stocks and gambling away money, it wouldn't matter if life was a little 'difficult'.

However, she underestimated the difficulty of this challenge.

Although Jiang Pengfei was a spendthrift, he still had some awareness of the outside world. This awareness alone made him realize that his mother had no idea what kind of hardship they were about to face.

Jiang Nansun is still young and might be able to tolerate having a little extra sugar in his white fungus soup every night and the same breakfast seven days a week, but his pampered mother, who has lived a life of luxury for most of her life, absolutely cannot stand it.

Not only his mother, but he, who was only in his fifties, couldn't accept such a dramatic life.

It is impossible to work part-time!
I will never work for someone else in my life!
After all, how much money can you earn by working hard all year round?

It's not even enough to cover the cost of his tea in the past!

What's the point of living like this?
So desperate!

He lacks problem-solving skills, but he possesses the ability to shirk responsibility, just like Jia Baoyu, and he has consistently done so.

It's like abandoning your mother and family there to escape debt collectors.

Ok.

Even Jia Baoyu is better than him.

Because Jia Baoyu was willing to become a monk and could endure the bitter cold of winter, eating pickled vegetables, and sleeping in a tattered blanket on a snowy night, he could not bear the life that most people would consider a life of plenty, where they have enough to eat and drink.

So he swore that if he ever traded stocks again, he would gouge out his own eyes and chop off his own hands. After laughing and saying that everyone should live a good life together, he watched his daughter Jiang Nansun busy with her graduate advisor calling to ask her to take a leave of absence to work and looking for a place to rent. He walked up behind his mother, hugged her, and said he was sorry and that he would be better in the future.

Then he left home.

When Jiang Nansun finished her work and came over, she found him missing and felt uneasy. She asked her grandmother, but she didn't know where he had gone. She quickly called her grandmother again and learned that he had gone to look for a house and wanted to rent one next to He Chen's house, or at least nearby. She tried to stop her and rushed over.

Grandma Jiang also went along, partly because she didn't want to live in the same neighborhood as He Chen, but also because she wanted to see what houses in the suburbs were like.

This was something a proud and dignified old lady who had lived on Fuxing Road her whole life would never have considered, let alone a house in the suburbs.

Secondly, she also felt uneasy and had some concerns.

When they arrived, a large crowd had already gathered downstairs at He Chen's place. When Jiang Nansun and her grandson trembled as they approached, they found that Jiang Pengfei had indeed chosen to run away again, and this time it was a permanent escape.

The old lady of the Jiang family immediately opened her mouth wide and put on a textbook-perfect crying performance.

Jiang Nansun also cried, grieving for his father's death, angry at his father's repeated attempts to shirk responsibility, and filled with hatred for his father's choice to end his life here.

This is clearly a death sentence, a way of refusing to agree to her being with He Chen.

Sure enough, when He Chen arrived after receiving the news, the old lady of the Jiang family pointed at He Chen with hatred: "It was you! You killed my son!"
