Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Stop, stop, what is she feeling guilty about, and...

Stop, stop. Why should she feel guilty? It wasn't her fault that Jiang Dong got into trouble. Zhang Zhiyuan said that Jiang Dong got into trouble because he was driving his car to transport goods.

She wanted him to live a good life out of love for him as a couple, but she was powerless to do anything in this situation.

The only thing she could do now was to take their only child away and raise him well. No matter how many years Jiang Dong was sentenced to, having a well-fed and healthy son upon his release was a good thing! She wasn't a stingy mother, and she didn't have the idea of ​​not letting her child recognize his father.

Moreover, Jiang Dong's mother is an old lady who works in the fields every day and depends on the weather for her food. How can she still have the energy to raise a child? Can she guarantee the child's education?

It was only after she moved to a big city that she realized that people in big cities value children's academic performance and that children need a good learning environment to succeed. The learning environment in the countryside could not guarantee this at all, so she didn't want to delay her child.

Thinking of this, Charlie became more confident.

She turned her head to look at her own son, but she didn't expect that when the child saw her looking at him, he immediately looked away from her and ran away from her to Jiang Dong's mother.

Jiang Dong's mother touched Jiang Zai's head, probably because she didn't want her grandson to see it, so she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and her voice returned to normal.

However, she still had a bad face towards Charlie, and her tone was still mocking, "Look, do you still recognize your son? Being a mother is really easy for you."

As she spoke, she pointed at Jiangzai's location with her chin, but her eyes were focused on the expression on Xia Li's face.

Charlie knew that she was indeed sorry for the child. She had an embarrassed expression on her face and was holding the strap of the small bag tightly.

"Well, Jiangzai, I'm your mother!" She was very kind to the child.

Ginger stood beside his grandmother, his eyes fixed on the ground, not even glancing at Charlie. His dirty little hands twisted in front of him. His lips moved twice, but then fell silent.

Xia Li took one look and began to wonder how much the child knew about the events of the past. It seemed he had a problem with his biological mother. But that was understandable; she would have her issues, too. She had been prepared before returning. As long as others didn't deliberately speak ill of her in front of the child, she could always persuade him to be close to her, his biological mother.

Xia Li wasn't worried about Jiang Dong or her mother-in-law's character. If anyone was causing trouble, it would definitely be Jiang Dong's younger brother and sister-in-law. They were both troublemakers. If it weren't for these two people, Xia Li wouldn't have made up her mind to leave so quickly.

Jiang Dong's mother snorted coldly. Serves him right. She sighed and sent her grandson out to play. "Jiang Zai, go play with others. Be careful not to run too far. Grandma has something to do right now."

When Jiangzai heard what his grandmother said, he looked at her, then looked at the woman in the yard who had been smiling at him. He clenched his little hands and ran out without saying a word.

After arranging their grandson out, there were only two people in the entire yard. Jiang Dong's mother didn't even greet Xia Li. She pulled a stool from the side and sat down, asking Xia Li directly why she came back after running away for so many years.

Xia Li thought that Jiang Dong's mother was really getting old. She couldn't even pretend, and she was pretending that her son was fine. She was just trying to save face and suffer in vain.

She hadn't said it directly just now, and she certainly wouldn't hurt her feelings now. However, she didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

"Mom, it's like this. I've settled down out there and I want to take Jiangzi with me."

Jiang Dong's mother was stunned when she heard this, not understanding what Xia Li meant. She stared blankly at her eldest daughter-in-law for a long time, her face changing. "Go away! Leave now and don't come back." She stood up from the stool and started to chase Xia Li away.

"You cruel woman, I've never seen a woman like you in my life. You killed my son, and now you want to take my grandson away."

Xia Li wanted to explain further, but was pushed out the door without a chance to speak. It was a bad start.

"Mom, I---------"

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Xia Li and Jiang Dong's mother were pushing each other, one wanted to drive the other away and the other didn't want to leave, when a voice suddenly interrupted.

Xia Li still wanted to save face, so she didn't try to squeeze in. She stood up straight and straightened her hair.

Jiang Dong's mother also let go of her hand and looked at the talking neighbor as if nothing had happened. "Nothing much. A relative just came to talk for a while. What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Today is not a good time to visit neighbors.

The neighbor lady laughed and said, "It's nothing serious. Our Xiaosheng just came back crying. I asked him for a long time but he couldn't tell me what happened. I came out to see what he encountered." After saying that, she inadvertently glanced at the woman standing at the door of Jiang's house. The figure looked familiar, but since she didn't look at her directly, she didn't recognize who she was.

Jiang Dong's mother wondered what was going on. Being interrupted, she wasn't as angry anymore, but she felt anxious and overwhelmed. She had no choice but to apologize to her neighbor, "Auntie, we have relatives over today, so I won't say much. Bring Xiaosheng over to play some other day." Then, she called out to her grandson, who was standing with Xiaosheng, "Jiang, come back. Clean up and it's time to cook."

After saying that, he took his grandson and Charlie back home, and this time the door was closed.

As soon as they entered the yard, Jiang Dong's mother ignored Xia Li and didn't worry about what she was doing at home. She just pulled her grandson to pick up the firewood on the ground and walked towards the backyard.

It seems that she doesn't want her, the biological mother, to get close to her grandson.

Xia Li didn't follow them either. She knew that she couldn't be so impatient for a short time, and it would be bad if she pushed others into a corner.

She walked around the yard, looking around. Compared to a few years ago, there were small changes, but not much else. Jiang Dong's family loved spicy food, and by the east kitchen window hung several strings of large, red dried chilies.

She walked into the kitchen and took a few looks, even lifting the lid to take a look at the pot out of curiosity. After walking out, she continued to walk to a closed door. She lifted the bamboo curtain and found it was locked. She curled her lips, threw down the curtain and walked to the window to look inside.

This was a surprising discovery. Xia Li discovered her old washbasin was still in their room, and on their table sat the large radio Jiang Dong had bought her when they got married. Xia Li loved it; it let her listen to programs and buy tapes. Jiang Erdong and Ma Lijuan were indeed born in the Year of the Rat, bringing everything into their house. Jiang Dong was no exception. How did he manage the house when he was home?

Xia Li is a person who always looks for reasons on others when she makes mistakes, and she never mentions that she left without saying anything before and did not fulfill any responsibility to their small family.

After complaining about Jiang Erdong and Ma Lijuan in her heart, Xia Li slowly turned around and walked to the door of the house opposite. At that time, Jiang Dong was the eldest brother and got married early, so he moved into the spacious house on the west side first.

After Ma Lijuan, the younger brother's wife, moved in, she felt their house was too small, and conflicts arose from time to time. However, Xia Li was not someone to be trifled with; if Ma Lijuan dared to find fault, she would confront her. However, Ma Lijuan was someone who only cared about food and not about punishment, so the Jiang family lived a very prosperous life.

Now that Jiang Dong and she are both gone, the monkey might become the king.

Charlie looked at her old house and found that the door was also locked. A trace of satisfaction flashed through her mind. She grabbed the lock on the door and looked at it again, and she was happy.

Hey!

He walked to the window in two or three steps, felt in the crack of the bricks in the upper left corner of the windowsill, and found the key.

Jiang Dong's key placement was different from everyone else's. Nowadays, people often hide their keys on the edge of their doors, thinking they're the smart ones. But in reality, seven out of ten people do the same. He placed it this way, so the two idiots living to the east couldn't find it no matter how hard they tried.

After entering the house, Charlie looked at the house which was almost the same as before. Strangely enough, she felt a sense of relaxation in her heart.

She had lived in this house for two or three years after all, so she was very familiar with it. A complete set of furniture, a makeup mirror, a table and cabinet against the wall, a large wardrobe, and this big bed.

She walked to the wardrobe and looked in the full-length mirror mounted on it. She pursed her lips, tilted her face to the side, and turned slightly, admiring herself. She felt that she had become younger and more beautiful in recent years.

While looking in the mirror, Charlie suddenly noticed Jiang Zai, who was peeping at her from outside the door. She remained calm and pretended not to see it. The main reason was that the child was always cautious, and it would be bad if he was too enthusiastic and scared her.

Children are like this. When they lost their mother when they were just over two years old, they had no memory of her at all. Children, after living through today, forget yesterday.

However, a child of four or five years old will understand something. He knows that other children have mothers but he doesn't. If he encounters a mean-spirited elder, he will say in front of the child, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore."

Jiang Zai had heard this a lot, so it was inevitable that he was a little different from other children of the same age, more sensitive and independent.

Jiang Dong used to work outside and couldn't come back to see his child often. It was not difficult for Jiang Dong's mother to take care of this grandson. He was very easy to take care of. He didn't need any special coaxing at such a young age. He could dress himself, eat, and sleep. He could also help himself. He was much better than the eldest grandson Mingming from the second family.

Jiang Dong's mother also knows that no child is born so obedient. Children without mother's love are destined to have a harder time. It is so heartbreaking to see them so obedient.

I was just lighting the stove in the backyard when I saw my grandson was gone. Which child doesn't miss his mother? Even if he knows that his mother didn't want him anymore, he still wants to be close to her.

Her grandson's personality is exactly like his father's, she said. He's very stubborn. At first, he seemed to be very resistant to the woman, not very enthusiastic, and didn't cry or make a fuss. But, he kept it in his heart, and he kept resentful and thinking about it.

It's true that a good man has no good wife, and a bad man marries a beautiful woman. Oh my God!
