Jiang Ruyu gets into a fight with her cousin from the next room over a job vacancy. She suffers an injury to her forehead but ...
Jiang Kai and Jiang Jun were both a little confused when Jiang Lin called them over, but they both felt uneasy seeing the expression on his face.
Jiang Jun frowned and said, "Da Linzi, just say what's on your mind."
Jiang Lin took out his key, opened the kitchen door, and dragged Jiang Ruyi out. The people in the house stared wide-eyed when they saw her, their first reaction being, "What has this troublemaker done now?"
Jiang Lin didn't disappoint them and went straight to the point: "After my sister was picked up by my brother-in-law this morning, I found her in the crowd. Guess what she did?"
Jiang Jun looked grim, Jiang Hui had a cold expression, Jiang Kai also had a furrowed brow, and Jiang Jianguo was a little drunk and his mind was a bit foggy, so he was listening in a daze.
"She stared at my sister with a ferocious expression for more than ten minutes before going into my kitchen. When I walked in, she was holding a box of matches. What do you think she wanted to do?"
"What? Matchstick, does she have a death wish?" Jiang Kai jumped to his feet.
Jiang Hui clenched his fist and walked over, removing the rag from her mouth. As soon as Jiang Ruyi's mouth was free, she immediately cursed, "Jiang Lin, you bastard..."
Jiang Hui's eyes turned cold, and he slapped him across the face: "You're unrepentant and courting death. We've spared you time and time again over the years, but it seems you haven't changed at all. Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
Jiang Ruyi was stunned by the beating. She subconsciously shouted, "Spare me? What a joke! I'm in this situation because of you. If it weren't for that bitch Jiang Ruyu, I wouldn't have been sent to the countryside."
Jiang Lin kicked her directly in the stomach, and Jiang Ruyi lay on the ground groaning. It was only because Jiang Lin held back a bit of his strength and knew where to hit so as not to leave a mark that the kick would have broken several of her ribs.
"If your mouth is still dirty, I'll make you wash it in the toilet by the door."
Jiang Jun didn't say a word from beginning to end. He stared at Jiang Ruyi for a long time before walking up to her: "It's been years, and you haven't made any progress. All you do is complain. The family has been thrown into chaos because of you. We've only had a few days of peace, and now you've caused this mess. I won't get involved or offer any opinions on this. Whatever Jiang Lin and the others do is your own fault."
Jiang Jun looked at Jiang Lin and sighed deeply: "Da Linzi, you two handle this matter. I have no objections."
Jiang Lin and Jiang Hui looked at Jiang Kai, who had no right to say anything: "Do as you please, this is the result of her own actions."
Jiang Jianguo had drunk quite a lot and was still drunk. Jiang Hui and Jiang Lin exchanged a helpless glance, it seemed that their uncle couldn't offer any opinions.
Jiang Lin went up and untied the ropes binding Jiang Ruyi. In this weather, everyone was wearing thick clothes, and there were no marks on her body from the bindings. This was good, so that she wouldn't turn the tables on him later.
"Then I'll hand her over to the police." As soon as Jiang Linhua said this, Jiang Jun and Jiang Kai froze. Looking at their cousin's angry eyes, they didn't say anything.
Jiang Ruyi realized what was happening and tried to run away, but she had been tied up for so long and had been hungry for so long that she couldn't get up even after a few attempts.
She looked at Jiang Lin with fear and anger: "How could you be so vicious? I'm still your cousin, and I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so heartless?"
"Heh, that's shameless. Using sophistry is a skill you've had since you were little," Jiang Hui sneered at her.
Jiang Lin gave her a cold look: "You didn't do anything because I found out in time. What if I hadn't found out? Just because there weren't any bad consequences doesn't mean you can escape punishment."
“You can’t take me to the police station. My in-laws are in the military. If you dare to take me to the police station, I won’t let you off when I get out. You’re in the military? Ha, you’ve only been in the army for a few years. Even if you get promoted, you’re still just an ant that Gu Jia can crush with a flick of his finger. I advise you to kowtow and apologize to me. That way, I might consider letting you go.”
Jiang Ruyi deliberately bluffed. She knew her own position in the Gu family, and she was betting that Jiang Lin wouldn't dare to do it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lin is no longer the same person he was yesterday. Having undergone brutal training, he could see through Jiang Ruyi's guilty conscience at a glance.
"Heh, if you really had that ability, you wouldn't have waited until now. If I were to be discharged from the army because of you, I would rather not have been a soldier at all. As for you, do you really have that ability? If you really lived a life of luxury in the Gu family, you wouldn't be so jealous of my sister. Look at your ugly face."
Jiang Ruyi was truly terrified this time. She wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't bring herself to do it. All she could do was cry and shout at Jiang Kai and Jiang Jun, "Are you still my brothers? We are siblings from the same mother. You just watched him send me to see the police. Don't you feel guilty?"
Jiang Kai's response was to walk away without even looking at her.
Jiang Ruyi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her hand instinctively reaching for Jiang Kai's trouser leg, but Jiang Kai dodged it: "You'd better watch yourself. Haven't you thought about the consequences of having such a vicious thought? If that fire you set goes off, you deserve to be shot."
Jiang Kai's words made Jiang Ruyi feel as if her blood had frozen, and she lay there blankly on the ground.
Jiang Jun stared at his younger sister for a long time before saying, "Now you remember we're your older brother? When you wanted to set the house on fire, did you ever think about how everyone in this house is your blood relative? It's chilling and terrifying to see you like this."
Jiang Jun took a breath and said, "That year, I made a special trip from Liaoning Province to see you. I said so much, and you agreed so nicely at the time. Now that I think about it, it was just to act obedient so that I would soften my heart and leave you more money. Jiang Ruyi, I have been more than kind to you."
Jiang Ruyi felt a chill run through her body. What else did she have? Her mother, her mother, her mother would definitely save her. She tried to crawl out and shouted at the door, but Jiang Lin wouldn't give her that chance and covered her mouth.
“Let’s take her to the police station so she doesn’t cause any more trouble at home.”
Jiang Jun thought about it and decided to go with his two cousins. Jiang Ruyi's ideas and actions were too chilling. His children often came here, and he didn't dare to think about what might happen to them.
After they all left, Jiang Jianguo woke up, his eyes clear and no longer showing any signs of drunkenness. Watching their departing figures, Jiang Jianguo slapped himself twice.
"What a tragedy, what a tragedy!"
He was initially dizzy, but Jiang Ruyi's screams sobered him up a bit. However, his mind was still not quite clear, but he could understand what was being said.
He really wanted to kick this daughter to death. He thought about beating Jiang Ruyi, this wretched girl, to death, but he found that his body was a little stiff and he seemed unable to move. In his grief, he simply gave up and let his nephew handle Jiang Ruyi's affairs. He just pretended that he didn't have this child.
