The smiles on Jiang Dali and the other two's faces froze.

None of the three expected Jiang Wanwan to refuse so decisively, after all, they were her elders.

Jiang Dali's eyes flickered, and then he chuckled softly, "Oh, Wan'er, it doesn't matter if it's tea or not, a bowl of water will do."

Standing to the side, Jiang Dayong, enduring the pain in his mouth, grimaced and said, "Yes, if there's no tea, we'll drink water. Niece, you wouldn't even give us a bowl of water, would you?"

Jiang Tietou clutched his aching back, frowned, and craned his neck to shout inside, "Fifth brother, you won't even give us a bowl of water? That's too stingy! If word gets out, the villagers will laugh at your Jiang family!"

Hmph, once I find out more about their family situation, I'll definitely teach them a lesson!

Then the Jiang family will be crying!

Let's see if they still dare to be so arrogant!

Before Old Man Jiang could answer, Old Woman Jiang rolled up her sleeves and stormed to the courtyard gate. Hands on her hips, she glared at Jiang Tietou and said angrily, "Jiang Tietou, are you out of your mind? We just severed ties a few days ago, and you said we'd never see each other again. What's wrong with you?"

How dare you come to my house now and ask for water?

"Pah! Shameless! Don't you have water at home? You want to come to my house begging for water? Where's the money? Give it to me, and then get out of here. Go back to where you came from."

Old Mrs. Jiang spat everywhere, spraying Jiang Tietou and the other two men's faces. She deliberately chose the most offensive words to hurl at them.

Jiang Tietou was so embarrassed by Old Lady Jiang's retort that his face turned bright red. He raised his sleeve, roughly wiped the spittle from his face, pointed his index finger at Old Lady Jiang, and angrily said, "You, you, you..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'!" Old Mrs. Jiang quickly interrupted Jiang Tietou, hands on her hips, craning her neck and glaring at him. Thinking that these three scoundrels had come to steal the secret recipe for making mosquito coils, she continued her tirade even more mercilessly.

“A heartless and rotten person like you must have come to my house for more than just a bowl of water. You probably have some evil plan in mind. I advise you not to do anything bad, otherwise I, your old woman, will risk my life to drag you down with me.”

Grandma Jiang confronted Jiang Tietou to berate him for two reasons: first, to vent the anger she had been holding in for years; and second, to make an example of Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong, to deter them from even thinking of setting foot in the Jiang family home.

Jiang Tietou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was somewhat panicked. "What nonsense are you spouting, you old woman! I only came to your house to deliver money, and you're making baseless accusations against me."

His eyes darted around as he spoke, and he seemed uneasy.

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong were also very nervous, and their palms were sweating.

Could it be that the Jiang family has already guessed their plan?

That can't be right.

The old woman only targeted Uncle Tietou and didn't bring the two of them along, so she couldn't possibly know their plans.

The two quickly realized that as long as Jiang Tietou remained there, they would never be able to get even half a step inside Old Jiang's house.

After figuring this out, Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong exchanged a glance and nodded, which they thought was a subtle gesture.

Then Jiang Dali stepped forward, smiling, and smoothed things over.

He advised, "Uncle Tietou, didn't you twist your back? How about this, after you give the money to your aunt, you go home and rest first."
