Jiang Xue was instantly petrified. My God, they really don't value life. No wonder there's a saying that became popular later: a woman's greatest self-discipline is not to have children casually.
It is highly likely that this is a genuine sentiment from the heart of these children who have not received sufficient care and protection.
"Alright, I'll teach Shaoheng to read and write whenever I have time. Once I've settled down in the city, I'll let Shaoheng study there."
Ji Chen stared in astonishment at Jiang Xue, whose tone was firm. Under the bright moonlight, Jiang Xue's pure and fair face seemed to gain an extra touch of purity and innocence.
Ji Chen was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and awkwardly replied, "I will pay the tuition."
Jiang Xue was speechless for a moment after being taken aback by the straight man's remarks.
Under the hazy moonlight, the four hurried home to Jiang Xue, only to find the food neatly covered on the table.
She asked Ji Chen in shock, "Haven't you eaten?"
"Shaoheng said he misses you, so I'll take him to see you first." Ji Chen's attitude remained lukewarm.
Jiang Xue quickly washed her hands and fed the two little ones.
"Knock knock knock..." came the urgent knocking sound.
Ji Chen got up and unlatched the door, only to see Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng barging in with dark faces, followed by Jiang Lai and Jiang Xue's uncle, Xie Ronggen.
"You released her, but why can't you release your cousin? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chunsheng's brown face was filled with hatred as he stared at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue's heart was in turmoil. These people were really relentless. Xie Xiaotian was only going to be released tomorrow.
They just had to come knocking and cause trouble.
Upon hearing the noise and realizing it was about Xiaotian, Liu Aiyue suddenly stood up, put on a coat, slipped on her plastic sandals, and rushed into the dilapidated little house.
"You're no match for Xiaotian in any way, yet you use such underhanded methods to lock her up." Xie Chunmei's eyes were practically spitting fire.
Jiang Xue knew about the previous land issue, but she still showed them leniency, which was too kind.
If she lets them continue to cause trouble like this every few days, she won't have a peaceful life in the future.
"I have nothing to do with you. Go back to where you came from." Jiang Xue gave them a rude order to leave.
Jiang Xue wanted to sever all ties completely, but these days, while it might be easy for her to cut ties with her parents, Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng would certainly not let her off easily.
Liu Aiyue, always eager for drama, said, "She did this shameless thing because she was afraid Xiaotian would steal her man."
Jiang Chunsheng's face was filled with disdain and disgust. "Shameless slut, you seduced your own brother-in-law back then, and now you're framing your cousin. How could I have given birth to such a shameless thing?"
Jiang Xue's face had lost all expression of disappointment. She said disdainfully, "It's my skill to seduce someone. Didn't she also seduce the village secretary's son?"
Xie Ronggen rushed up and slapped Jiang Xue hard across the face, causing blood to immediately appear on her cheek.
Ji Chen put Shao Meng down, rushed forward, and knocked Xie Ronggen down with a single punch.
"Damn it, he doesn't even know whose turf he's hitting people with."
Xie Ronggen got up, wanting to fight back, but when he saw Ji Chen, who was strong, muscular, and a head taller than him, he immediately deflated.
Liu Aiyue rushed forward in a hurry and pried away Ji Chen's fist, which was about to punch Xie Ronggen.
"He's Xiaotian's father. How could you lay a hand on him? You're so foolish!"
Xie Ronggen suddenly became smug, "A divorced man wants to marry my daughter? Dream on, I spit on him."
Jiang Chunsheng's family gloated, standing in the back watching as these people ganged up on Jiang Xue.
Jiang Lai said loudly with great pride, "Some people don't need their maternal family to support them, so they deserve to be bullied at their mother-in-law's house."
