Grandma Jiang saw Yan Guohui and Hong Shui holding Jiang Fang down, Li Xiangdong lying on the ground with his hands still tightly gripping Jiang Fang's. Li Ying was fighting two against one, scratching Jiang Fang's wife and son's faces all over. Jiang Fang's daughter was pacing anxiously around, repeatedly saying, "Stop hitting them! Stop hitting them!"

Grandma Jiang glanced at her and noticed something was off about this girl.

However, Grandma Jiang wasn't particularly concerned about whether the child was normal or not.

She slammed her cane against the door, yelling, "Stop! Stop!"

Li Ying had won a great victory and had long since stopped. Jiang Fang's wife collapsed to the ground, hugging her wailing son and panting heavily.

When Jiang Fang saw the old lady Jiang come out, she was in good health, had a rosy complexion, and a loud voice. He thought to himself, "Damn it, didn't someone report to me last time that the old lady hurt her leg?"

He thought the old woman was already on her deathbed!

It's also his fault for being so out of touch with reality. Come to think of it, the last time someone reported to him was two years ago.

Jiang Fang sighed for a moment, but these thoughts only lasted a split second. He quickly composed himself and called out with a mix of grievance, affection, and longing, "Mother!"

Wow!

Li Xiangdong couldn't keep up the act any longer and died, but this old guy actually shouted it out!

I got goosebumps all over!

Grandma Jiang was also disgusted. She cleared her throat and said to Li Xiangdong, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold!"

Li Ying hurriedly went to help her younger brother, and Li Xiangdong then pretended to slowly stand up from the ground. He patted the dust off his clothes, leaned close to Jiang Fang, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Niu Guang is your son, right? You two look a bit alike!"

Jiang Fang's eyes flashed, but before he could say anything, Li Xiangdong added, "Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!"

These two sentences undoubtedly shocked Jiang Fang greatly.

It was like two bolts of lightning descending from the sky!

How did this child know that Niu Guang was his son, or that he himself had instructed the child to be killed?

Jiang Fang's expression changed for the first time. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, so intense that they seemed to be tangible. If his gaze were a knife, he would have tortured Li Xiangdong to death on the spot.

Li Xiangdong isn't afraid of him at all. This isn't like a couple of years ago, when he still had to consider Li's political influence.

Jiang Fang now resembles a sick tiger whose teeth have been pulled.

Li Xiangdong dropped a third bombshell: "Niu Yonggui is searching everywhere for who cheated on him!"

Jiang Fang abruptly withdrew his gaze and said dismissively, "Do you have evidence?"

Li Xiangdong blinked, "I didn't!"

"you!"

"I was just teasing you—"

Jiang Fang was furious with Li Xiangdong, that little scoundrel, but he was outnumbered and outmatched, so he couldn't do anything more.

He shook off the control of Hongshui and Yan Guohui, his legs sank down, and he knelt down in front of Old Madam Jiang with a "thud".

"Mother! Your son has been too busy with work these past few years to be able to take care of you. Now your son finally has some free time, so I've brought my wife, grandchildren, and granddaughters to take you to the provincial capital to enjoy your retirement."

More and more people gathered outside the Jiang family's gate; almost the entire village had arrived. Yan Guohui gave them a disapproving look. "These good-for-nothings! They're not even doing their jobs. I'll deduct a day's work points from each of them!"

Grandma Jiang gave Jiang Fang a cool look and said, "You really have your father's style!"

She walked past Jiang Fang to the middle of the crowd and called out loudly, "Si Yin, Brother Tu Sheng, Sister-in-law Da Zang, are you all here?"

Grandma Hong, an old man from the Zhu family, and Yan Guohui's mother stepped forward.

Grandma Jiang glanced around at everyone and then said, "You are all young people and don't know much about what happened back then. Today, I'll explain it to you in front of the older sisters and brothers in the village."

Li Xiangdong brought a chair for his master and asked her to sit down, but Grandma Jiang waved her hand and insisted on standing.

"Over the years, landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists in other places have been severely criticized and struggled against, but I, a capitalist, have received preferential treatment in our Quanshui Village. I would like to thank everyone here in advance!"

As she spoke, she bowed deeply.

Grandma Hong and Yan Guohui's mother rushed to help her up, while Zhu Tusheng tapped his cane and said, "Sister Jiang, this is what we should do. Why are you bowing to these little brats? Aren't you afraid of shortening their lifespans?"

Grandma Jiang straightened up and continued, "Nowadays, landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists have all had their labels removed, and I am now an innocent person. That's why people are coming to me for help."

The onlookers whispered and pointed at Jiang Fang's family.

"Really, now that he's been removed from the list, he's not afraid of being implicated anymore."

"That's right! What were we doing before? Grandma Jiang still relied on us to take care of her!"

"Hey, don't say that. Before, who dared to get involved with her? They were too busy distancing themselves from her!"

"That's true. It's already quite good that they can come back to take care of her now."

Jiang Fang's knees ached from kneeling. He stood up and looked at Old Madam Jiang with a cold expression as she continued to speak.

"Perhaps everyone will say that he also had his own difficulties, and now that he has turned over a new leaf and knows how to fulfill his filial duties, it's not too late."

"But Jiang Fang and I are not related by blood at all!"

A single sentence uttered was earth-shattering.

Apart from Li Xiangdong, Old Madam Hong and Doctor Gu remained expressionless, everyone else present was shocked.

How come this isn't their biological child?!

Grandma Jiang waved her hand, and Doctor Gu came over. He endorsed what Grandma Jiang had said, "Jiang Ying is born unable to have children."

The crowd erupted in uproar!

They had great faith in Dr. Gu's medical skills and character.

Jiang Fang gritted his teeth, thinking, "That old hag dares to say anything!"

"Jiang Fang, stop pretending. Haven't you known who your mother is since you were little?"

The hurt of being betrayed is hard to erase even after decades.

“Isn’t your mother a girl from the Niu family? Back then, her father sold her to a brothel, and I happened to run into her and rescued her.”

“I redeemed her from servitude and brought her into my home, but who knew she would turn around and get involved with your father, and even have you and your sister Jiang Li.”

"Your father, Han Cheng, that bastard, sided with the Japanese devils and forced me to admit that you and your sister were my children. Wasn't it just because he didn't want you to have such a lowly background?"

"What? You're this old, and you still can't face who your mother is? How can you face your mother in the afterlife?"

"Or is it that your coming to acknowledge me is just a ruse, and you have ulterior motives, hoping to get something from me?!"

Grandma Jiang's words came out like a barrage of bullets, leaving Jiang Fang completely stunned, and everyone else also found it hard to process such a large amount of information.

"I'm telling you, you can't!"

Grandma Jiang took out a piece of paper from her bosom and showed it to Jiang Fang.

The sign above read, "Bequest and Support Agreement"!
