After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 1090 - 1089: Unwilling to Take It Back

After a lovely meal, the Jiang family sat together on the sofa watching TV.

Just after finishing one episode, the phone beside the sofa started ringing.

Jiang Changhai, who was the closest, picked it up directly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Hello, this is Jiang Changhai, who are you looking for?" Jiang Changhai asked, his eyes never leaving the TV.

"Big brother, it’s me, Laosan." Jiang Changtao’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Jiang Changhai’s tone became even more casual and relaxed, "Oh, Laosan, what’s up?"

"Big brother, when we went back to the village today, the team leader wanted to return something to the commune folks, but they insisted on not taking it back. They said it was a token of their appreciation to you all, and you must accept it. So, our commune leaders decided to keep those things at our place for now and use them to celebrate when Mianmian gets into college." Jiang Changtao briefly explained the afternoon’s events to his big brother.

Jiang Mianmian’s reputation as the Little Prodigy and Little Genius was already well-known across the city. Everyone in the commune firmly believed she would definitely get into college, thinking there was no need to take the things back and it would save them from having to give another gift later.

Jiang Changhai chuckled, "Alright then, since the secretary has made the decision, we’ll follow his lead."

The brothers chatted a bit more about the store before hanging up the phone.

Laosan and his family were now living in Jiang Changhai’s old house, and Changhai had found a suitable storefront a few days ago, and they were busy cleaning it up.

The next evening, when Su Wanyu came home from work, she walked in with a newspaper in her hand, her face beaming with joy.

"Hey, wife, what’s up with you? Why are you so happy?" Jiang Changhai asked with a smile, seeing his wife so delighted.

"Brother Hai, it’s great news, look, our family is in the newspaper again." Su Wanyu happily handed over the newspaper.

Jiang Changhai took it and, sure enough, saw on the front page a detailed report on him, his siblings, and his daughter, dipping into their own pockets to generously help repair roads and build bridges in their hometown, sponsor schools, and support underprivileged children to go to school.

There was also a quote from an interview with the commune secretary, where they were highly praised, and the secretary expressed gratitude on behalf of everyone in the commune.

"Wow, this is really great news! The journalist has a great way with words, making me, Changfeng, and Mianmian sound so good. If they didn’t have my name on this, I wouldn’t dare claim it," Jiang Changhai said with a laugh while pointing to a piece on the newspaper that praised him.

"What’s going on? Changhai, what’s the great news?" The old lady, who was cooking in the kitchen with Jiang Mianmian helping, came out curious after hearing the laughter in the living room.

Jiang Changhai handed the paper to Jiang Mianmian behind the old lady, "Daughter, come read this newspaper to your grandma."

Jiang Mianmian took the newspaper, glanced at it briefly, and then began to read it aloud with expression.

The old lady’s smile grew bigger as she listened, and after Jiang Mianmian finished reading, the old lady took the newspaper, carefully folded it, and said, "This journalist really hit the nail on the head. Our family is just this kind, always thinking about the commune. I’ll keep this newspaper, and after Mianmian’s college entrance exam, I’ll take it back and keep it safe."

"Mom, if you want it, I’ll buy a few more copies for you at work tomorrow," Su Wanyu said perceptively.

"That would be great, Wanyu. Buy a bunch tomorrow so I can show our relatives," the old lady said happily.
