Jiang Hongying, who was inside the house, heard her older brother's voice. She stared at the door, her body stiff, feeling flustered and unsure of what to do. He must have found out what she had done to come at this time. What should she do?
Liu Xuewen already loathed his mother. What would others think of them if they knew what she had done? She was selfish and only thought of herself, completely disregarding their lives.
He opened the locked door, and Jiang Jianjun gritted his teeth and said, "You two go to another room. I have something to say to her."
Liu Xuewen left decisively with his sister without hesitation. Seeing this, Jiang Hui could only say, "Uncle, don't be impulsive. Making a scene will have a bad impact."
"I know you don't care, you get out too." Jiang Jianjun's anger had reached its peak. He pushed the door open and closed it again. Jiang Hongying saw her brother's dark face and clenched fists and trembled with fear.
"Big brother, what are you trying to do? I'm your own sister! How can you side with that outsider Liu Yuanchao?" she said, putting on a show of bravado and arguing unreasonably.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Jiang Jianjun couldn't bear to compare her to the charming and coquettish younger sister he remembered. How could a person change so drastically?
Jiang Jianjun lit a cigarette and stared at Jiang Hongying for more than ten minutes without saying a word. Jiang Hongying became more and more tense, and finally she broke down and shouted, "This is not my fault! I didn't mean to cheat on him! It's his own fault for being incompetent. He's a spineless coward in bed! This is not my fault! No, ah!"
She was fine when she didn't speak, but when she did, and with such a lame excuse, Jiang Jianguo threw his cigarette butt on the ground and slapped Jiang Hongying twice across the face.
"Jiang Hongying, you are utterly shameless and shameless. You have disgraced the Jiang family. Today is Ruyu's engagement day, and instead of attending as her aunt, you have done such a disgusting thing. What will others think of you? Have you thought about your two children? Have you thought about your nearly seventy-year-old mother?"
Her ears were ringing from the blow, and Jiang Hongying decided to throw caution to the wind: "Heh, why should I always think about others? Why can't I think about myself? I didn't like Liu Yuanchao back then, but you all said he was good. In the end, he was only in his forties and he was already dying. Why can't I find someone else for my own happiness?"
Ignoring Jiang Jianguo's incredulous gaze, she continued, "And then there's Jiang Ruyu, that wretched girl who doesn't respect me as an elder. Why should I bother with her? She's just an ill-mannered wild girl. I think it's her fault that my second brother and sister-in-law died young."
Jiang Jianguo was furious. He grabbed a feather duster from the cabinet and swung it at Jiang Hongying: "You ignorant fool, I'll beat you to death today, you depraved slut, so you won't be left in this world to embarrass your family and make Xuewen and Xiangqiao suffer for you."
The feather duster lashed out at Jiang Hongying with a fierce whistling sound. Jiang Hongying immediately screamed and then roared, "Why are you hitting me? This is illegal! I'm going to sue you!"
When Jiang Jun and Jiang Hui arrived, they heard screams coming from inside the house. Their younger cousins sat blankly in the yard. Jiang Hui anxiously pounded on the door and called for his uncle. Upon seeing this, Jiang Jun kicked the door open.
"Dad, stop hitting her. If you kill her, you'll go to jail. It's not worth it."
Jiang Kai also stepped forward to hold his father back: "That's right, Dad, there are plenty of ways to deal with her, let go quickly."
Jiang Hongying was in a terrible state. She hadn't eaten all day, and her face was swollen and red from two slaps by Jiang Jianguo. He hadn't held back at all when he hit her with the feather duster. She was rolling around on the ground in pain.
"I'm going to sue you, Jiang Jianguo. I'm not done with you yet."
Jiang Jun already roughly knew what had caused his uncle to lose control, his grandmother to have a stroke, and his father to break down. He looked at the person who was about to call his aunt and said coldly, "Go ahead and sue. I just don't know what you're going to say when the police ask you what happened. I wonder if you'll get shot for messing around with women?"
Jiang Kai glanced at his younger brother in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. His aunt was having an affair! My God, no wonder Grandma was so angry she was hospitalized. This is so embarrassing!
Jiang Hongying was screaming in agony when she heard this. She was shocked and looked at her usually unremarkable nephew as if he were a madman. She never expected him to be so ruthless.
Jiang Jianguo had calmed down considerably: "Jiang Hongying, the old lady has been hospitalized because of this incident. She suffered a stroke. If she's alright, that's fine, but if something happens to her, I will personally send you to prison."
Jiang Jianguo left, taking his two pitiful nephews with him. Jiang Hongying lay on the ground, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
Grandma Jiang didn't wake up until the next morning. When she did wake up, she felt unwell: "Ruyu, what's wrong with Grandma? Why does half of my body feel numb and weak?"
Jiang Ruyu's eyes immediately stung and hurt, but she smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright, Grandma. It's just that you're old and can't handle stress. You'll be fine after a few days in the hospital and getting IV drips."
Grandma Jiang didn't press for details when she saw her granddaughter's swollen eyes. Soon after, the old doctor arrived and smiled when he saw that Grandma Jiang was alright.
"Grandma, you're recovering well. You woke up so soon. Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious. It's normal to be like this when you get old. In the future, try to keep a calm mind, eat and drink as usual, and don't take anything to heart."
The old lady sighed, "I think so too, but my children are so useless, I can never stop worrying about them." Thinking of what her son-in-law said yesterday, she still felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
The old doctor quickly stepped forward and pressed her acupoints: "You can't make yourself angry anymore, old lady. We're already this old, what's there to be upset about? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't make things difficult for yourself and burden your family."
Grandma Jiang seemed to understand something from those words: "Making things difficult for yourself and burdening your family? Yes, isn't that what I'm doing?"
Perhaps it was the old doctor's words that made the old lady finally understand. She stayed in the hospital for five days, during which the three brothers, Jiang Hui, Jiang Lin, and Jiang Jun, took turns accompanying her. Jiang Ruyu would come to watch over her as soon as she got off work. The old lady slowly recovered. Only her hand was still a little unresponsive. Everything else had almost recovered. She really didn't want to waste money staying in the hospital, so she insisted on being discharged.
Finally, after the senior doctor examined her, he said, "I think you're fine. You're recovering very well. Just go back and be careful with your activities. As we get older, our bones degenerate, so we need to exercise more to stay flexible. Otherwise, we'll become less and less willing to move."
Grandma Jiang waited for her grandsons: "See? The doctor said everything's fine now. Hurry up and pack up, let's go home."
