A few words left Zhang Guilian speechless, and she glared at Jiang Xile with her dead fish eyes.

"What are you looking at? Where did I say something wrong? The injury on my head is all thanks to you. Now I'm going to show everyone what kind of person you really are!"

Zhang Guilian was taken aback by Jiang Xile's words, and her expression changed instantly after she realized what he meant.

Over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Guilian has maintained a very good image as a stepmother.

This is why she was able to snatch the job from Jiang Xile – it's because her character is trustworthy.

But now that Jiang Xile has made such a fuss, won't the good image she put so much effort into building collapse in an instant?

“Xile, in the end we are all family. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public. Besides, you agreed to let me do this job in the first place.”

"I agreed at first, but we also agreed that you would give me back my job once I got my high school diploma."

"What, are you trying to force me to go to the countryside so you can completely monopolize the job?"

"No, Xile, I didn't mean that. We were just thinking that your older brother is older than you and is of marriageable age."

If we send him to the countryside, who knows when he'll come back? I'm doing this for your father's sake, so he can hold his grandson soon and enjoy family life.

As for you, even if you go to the countryside, your aunt will not forget you and will send you things every month.

"When the right opportunity arises, I'll definitely bring you back from the countryside immediately. Isn't that a win-win situation? Just step aside for now!"

"Enjoying family life? Hah..."

Jiang Xile looked at Jiang Wanmin beside her, only to see him looking at Zhang Guilian with a satisfied expression, as if what Zhang Guilian said was exactly what he wanted.

"Jiang Wanmin, have you forgotten that even though Jiang Shengli has changed his surname to Jiang now, he still has the blood of the Li family flowing in his veins?"

Even if there is a grandson, he is of the Li family bloodline and has nothing to do with you, surnamed Jiang.

You're still here persecuting your own daughter for the sake of a stepson? I really don't know if you're smart or stupid.

Even if I'm not the best, I still have your blood in my veins, Jiang Wanmin. Do you think I'm inferior to a stepson?

Your stepmother has easily fooled you with just a few words. When you get old, will all your possessions have to be left to the Li family's bloodline?

"What, are you a farmhand or a servant in the Li family? You're so willing to raise another man's children and grandchildren? How shameless are you!"

"How dare you talk like that? I'm your father! You disrespectful brat, what kind of upbringing did your mother give you!"

Jiang Wanmin was furious when his daughter pointed her finger at him and scolded him.

I want to refute it, but I don't know where to start.

Although Jiang Xile's words were harsh, they were all true!

Even though Jiang Shengli has changed his surname to Jiang now, he is still not his own bloodline.

Seeing Jiang Wanmin waver, Zhang Guilian's heart sank. This matter had been agreed upon long ago, and she absolutely couldn't let it change.

Everything was planned out, but unexpectedly, something went wrong with Jiang Xile. Why did that brat suddenly become so sharp-tongued?

"Old Jiang, although Shengli is not your biological son, he has long regarded you as his own father."

Besides, when Shengli gets married in the future, he will have to hand over all his earnings to the government, and even his future wife will have to be filial to him.

No matter what, a son is still family. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl.

Even if Xile doesn't go to the countryside, she'll get married next year. Then this job will belong to someone else, and what benefit will our Jiang family have?

After hearing Zhang Guilian's words, Jiang Wanmin, who had been wavering, became determined again. Yes, his daughter would eventually get married.

“Xile, your stepmother is right. Although this job was left by your mother, it is still part of the Jiang family.”

So you should go to the countryside; they've already filled all the spots for that anyway!

"What? You signed me up for me?!"

Jiang Xile's voice suddenly rose, making Jiang Wanmin and Zhang Guilian feel guilty for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

"What's wrong with registering? I'm your father, it's normal for me to register you. Don't say anything more, this matter of going to the countryside is settled."

You'd better pack your things in the next couple of days; your train ticket should be ready in five or six days at the latest.

Jiang Xile was so angry she almost laughed when she saw how the two of them went from feeling guilty to being so self-righteous in the blink of an eye.

"Going to the countryside? Heh, although you've signed up, don't forget that if you're seriously ill or injured, you can postpone going to the countryside."

Putting everything else aside, I have such a huge gash on my head, and there's blood all over the place. Tell me, if I ran out and screamed for help, what do you think would happen?!

As Jiang Xile spoke, she took a few steps away, making it look like she was about to cause trouble.

Jiang Wanmin and Zhang Guilian immediately tensed up.

"What are you doing? Stop right there!"

Jiang Xile found it amusing to see Jiang Wanmin looking so alarmed.

"What do you think I should do? I was deliberately murdered and injured like this. I need to find a place to seek justice!"

By the way, I'd also like to ask the police to help me contact the leaders of the garment factory so I can have a proper talk about work.

After all, I had a leader from above witness it back then, right? Now that I can't get this job back, I should at least get an explanation!
