Chapter 658: The Jiang Family
It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure; this saying is also very applicable to the Jiang family.
If one were to talk about him getting angry, even if he didn't speak, that majesty could shock everyone into silence. But in normal times, the old man's personality was very eccentric and willful, sometimes even as stubborn as an uncivilized child.
Most of the time, the family members coaxed him, just like coaxing a child!
Jiang Yuanliang smiled speechlessly and went along with him: "Fine, if you don't like to move, then use more of that massage chair I bought for you. It's imported and very easy to use, more comfortable than Eldest Brother's massage."
"Hmph, stop using these sugar-coated shells to confuse me." The old man still didn't appreciate it, glancing at him sideways: "Your eldest brother is filial, unlike you? Forty years old, not married, no children. I have to spend all day looking for marriage candidates for you with my old bones."
"Dad, I'm thirty-eight, not forty yet." Jiang Yuanliang corrected the old man's slip of the tongue and looked at his eldest brother: "If you think Eldest Brother is filial, why don't you just let him give you another grandson?"
Jiang Yuanmao knew his younger brother was joking and glared at him irritably.
The old man, however, said: "Him? Your eldest brother is over fifty, his sperm is already dead, still giving birth to a fart of a child!"
"Dad!" Jiang Yuanmao looked at his father in shock: "What kind of talk is this?"
Jiang Yuanliang was amused by the old man, but the old man glared at him angrily: "You still have the face to laugh? I'm talking about your problem now. If you don't hurry up, you'll be just like your brother. Once a man passes forty, the quality of his "sperm" will drop sharply. Do you still want children or not?"
"Doesn't our family already have Jiang Cheng?" Jiang Yuanliang said with a calm face: "The line isn't broken, why are you being so difficult with me?"
"I'm just being difficult!" The old man's little mustache stood up, and he said: "You have to get married. Look, I gave birth to the three of you, and even when I'm old, I can still call you to my side to scold for fun."
"If you don't get married or have children, wouldn't it be so boring when you're old?"
"Look at your younger brother, he's more serious than you!"
Suddenly being called out, Jiang Yuanyu smiled sheepishly at his second brother, but was so frightened by his cold face that he quickly retracted his smile.
"What serious business can he have? He changes girlfriends faster than anyone."
"That's still better than you. At least he lets me see some hope. You, even for blind dates, I have to point a gun at your back to force you to go. Those who know think you're busy in the group, those who don't think you've become a monk. Stop adding to my frustration. My blood pressure shoots up every time I see you. Third, go get me my blood pressure medicine."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanyu stood up and trotted upstairs.
Jiang Yuanliang didn't argue with the old man anymore, truly afraid that his blood pressure would rise and he would be uncomfortable.
Before long, Uncle Feng came in to say that the Eldest Madam and the Young Master were back.
Only the eldest, Jiang Yuanmao, in the Jiang family was married. His wife was a lady from a scholarly family in Longcheng, named Wen Shuyi.
Their child was Jiang Cheng, who was also the only grandson of the Jiang family and the future successor of the group that Jiang Yuanliang was currently cultivating.
"Dad, I brought you some high-quality mugwort. If you have nothing to do, let Uncle Feng give you moxibustion. Didn't Dr. Lin say before that your body still has heavy dampness?"
"And this Codonopsis and snake gall, they are all cleaned. Let Uncle Feng soak them in wine for you later, it's good for your health."
"I brought you a tiger skin blanket from abroad last month. The weather is getting cold, and you don't like to move, so just cover yourself with it to stay warm. Don't catch a cold again. You can't afford to get sick at your age, you have to take care of yourself."
As soon as Wen Shuyi entered the door, she took out everything she had brought for the old man all at once. She had an elegant temperament and a gentle tone. Although she was over fifty, her charm still remained.
In the old man's eyes, the most satisfying thing about the eldest son was that he had married such a presentable wife, whom everyone praised when they saw her!
Moreover, she had given birth to the eldest grandson for the Jiang family, and Jiang Cheng was particularly outstanding, so Wen Shuyi had a very high status in the Jiang family, and Jiang Yuanliang also respected this sister-in-law very much.
"You have a heart, Shuyi." Just a moment ago, he was still "glaring" at his sons, but as soon as he saw his daughter-in-law and grandson arrive, the old man was suddenly so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, his face changing faster than a three-year-old child.
Jiang Yuanliang had just greeted his sister-in-law when his hands were filled with a bag of things, all in foreign languages, obviously foreign products.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Wen Shuyi didn't avoid it and said straight out: "Foreign health supplements for regulating male physical functions. Your eldest brother has been taking them, and the effect is quite good, with no side effects. I brought you a box this time when I went abroad, you try taking them first."
Jiang Yuanliang was slightly stunned, looking at his eldest brother with an embarrassed expression.
The eldest brother was even more embarrassed; he had been taking them secretly, and now it was good, everyone knew.
"Tsk, what's there to be embarrassed about? Regulating the body is such a normal thing, women also need to regulate their Qi and blood, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Wen Shuyi looked at Jiang Yuanliang seriously and said: "Especially you, Yuanliang, you will have to get married and have children in the future, you have to pay more attention to your body. Forty is a watershed for men, there is nothing wrong with preparing in advance."
These words really hit the old man's heart, and his eyes widened immediately: "Your sister-in-law is right, you take it back and take it obediently. If the effect is good, let your sister-in-law buy it for you again."
Jiang Yuanliang was a bit speechless. It was fine for him to take it, but what about after he regulated it?
Where would he use it?
There was no place to use his martial arts!
Jiang Yuanyu, who had just returned with the antihypertensive medicine, happened to overhear this. His eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity to step forward, looking at his sister-in-law with anticipation: "Sister-in-law, do I have some too?"
"You don't." Wen Shuyi had studied some traditional Chinese medicine; her grandfather and uncle were both practitioners, so she was somewhat proficient in "looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse." She looked at Jiang Yuanyu and reminded him bluntly: "You are currently a bit excessive in your indulgences; just pay more attention to yourself."
Jiang Yuanyu: "..."
Just at this time, Uncle Feng walked over to say that the meal was ready. Jiang Cheng took the initiative to support his grandfather, and the others followed behind the old man as he moved to the dining room.
The dishes made today were mostly in line with the old man's tastes, which could be considered authentic Longcheng cuisine.
Ever since Jiang Yuanliang had eaten too much of Shen Jingjing's cooking, he had become picky about the taste of outside restaurants. However, today was a family banquet, and he liked eating at home, so he was in a very good mood.
Wen Shuyi looked at the nanny at home and instructed: "Sister Sun, serve Second Master more rice. He likes home-cooked food the most and eats quite a lot every time he comes back."
Saying this, she asked: "Did you add more water when cooking the rice? The old man can't eat rice that is too hard."
"Don't worry, Eldest Madam, I have kept in mind everything you instructed. Look, this rice is cooked to be soft and moderate, and it's fragrant." ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
