Chapter 6: Watching

Just as Jiang He was happily holding the book in his arms and going home, he met three familiar figures on the way. Who else could it be but his original weird parents and green tea cousin? The expression on his face immediately became indifferent.

"Jiang He——!" When Jiang's father and mother saw Jiang Heshi, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they were filled with anger.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Jiang He looked up and asked after putting the book in his hand into his bag.

"How dare you ask? I went to the factory to look for you today, and your team leader said you took a leave. How brave do you have to ask for a leave? Do you know how much you are paid per day?" Jiang's mother pointed at Jiang He's face and scolded him, "Where did you take a leave? It took me and your father so long to look for you——"

Jiang Bao gently pulled Jiang's mother's sleeve, then smiled and said, "Aunt, please don't blame Xiao He. Sometimes when you feel bored, you should go out for a walk." Then, he smiled and said to Jiang He, "I saw you put a few books in your bag just now. Did you go to the library? Did you buy these books? Well, anyway, you have taken this day off, so you should study more."

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Jiang He knew what the other party was thinking. He could see clearly the fleeting jealousy in his eyes.

"Your brother cares about you, and this is how you talk to him?" When Jiang's father saw Jiang He's indifferent look, the anger he had suppressed at the loss he suffered from the factory director suddenly came out.

After being reminded by Jiang Baoyi, and seeing the several notebooks in the other party's hand, he shouted angrily, "Okay, I said this kid must have hidden some private money. You are such a ruthless person. I raised you to this age, and you are still playing tricks on me?"

"Haha!" Hearing the other party's accusation, Jiang He couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" When Jiang's mother saw the certificate in Jiang He's hand, she hated him in her heart. This son obviously didn't win her heart. He didn't know how to respect her even though he had money. If she had known this earlier, she should have checked it again when she took his salary.

"What do you want to do by singing so many operas? Just tell us... so that people can watch the opera and see the whole thing." Jiang He said as he looked around. It turned out that their loud voice had attracted some people over.

"Well, let them see how you, an unfilial son, treat me and your father." Mother Jiang said as she spread her hands on the ground, swinging them up and down. "Everyone, come and see how this unfilial son has no conscience. I raised him with so much hardship. His brother has been in poor health since he was a child, but I still took care of him.

Now that he finally got a job, he doesn't give money to his family, leaving me, his father, and his brother to live a hard life while he eats and drinks well outside... Why is my life so hard——"

After listening to Jiang's mother's blaming, Jiang He felt more and more sorry for his original self. In those merged memories, his original self did the hardest and most tiring work at home, and was always scolded and despised, and even beaten.

"Oh, you're obviously an unfilial son, little comrade. There's something wrong with your thinking." Jiang He kept an indifferent expression on his face. Some people with a sense of justice came out to criticize him.

"It's true. The world is going downhill. Such an unfilial son should have been strangled to death when he was born..." The words spoken by a woman wearing a gray headscarf were even more unpleasant.

But a young man next to her was full of disdain. "You can't judge things by appearances, right? Did you notice just now? Although these four people look like a family of four, look at the clothes the brother, mother and father are wearing, and then look at the clothes this comrade is wearing, wow..."

Some people who were moved by sympathy looked at the clothes worn by Jiang's mother, father, and Bao, and then looked at the patched clothes on Jiang He. Everyone's eyes became subtle.

"And look at this young comrade's face, so sallow. Then look at them. Oh, I think the pigs we raise are not as smooth and plump as theirs. I think this story is about a mother favoring her eldest son and exploiting her younger son. Because the younger son disagreed, he became an unfilial son." The young man continued.

Jiang Bao's face darkened. He hadn't really thought about this just now. He had been wearing decent clothes since he was a child, so he didn't think much of it. But when someone reminded him of it and compared it with the clothes Jiang He was wearing, no matter how stupid someone was, they would know, "Aunt... ahem..."

"Good boy, don't scare your aunt." Mother Jiang quickly hugged Jiang Bao's arm, with a look of heartache on her face.

Her words also made the people around her look even more strange. Isn't that his biological son? The woman who just helped to speak also asked the answer in her heart: "Sister, who is your biological son?"
