"Slap!" Without saying a word, Jiang Xue slapped Jiang Lai hard across the face.
Five finger marks immediately appeared on Jiang Lai's face. "You hit me? What right do you have to hit me?"
Jiang Lai's eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to devour Jiang Xue alive. Because of the way his parents treated her since childhood, he didn't take Jiang Xue seriously.
"Are you even human?" Jiang Xue was so angry with Jiang Lai that she almost spat blood.
Indeed, Xie Chunmei loved her son so much, yet this ungrateful wretch thought she was a burden while she was paralyzed in bed.
When Jiang Xue hit Jiang Lai, it wasn't out of a sense of elder sisterhood, but more out of humanitarianism. She really had no heart.
"It's none of your business," Jiang Lai said, her neck red as she glared at Jiang Xue. "I can do whatever I want; this is my home."
Jiang Xue was so angry that her chest ached, and she was ready to just go back.
But seeing Xie Chunmei lying in bed, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Get out of my way, both of you get out of here!" Jiang Xue was trembling all over.
Ji Chen felt a little sorry for her, so he silently walked to the well, filled a bucket with water and poured it into a basin. He decided to help Jiang Xue tidy up the house first.
Ji Chen really didn't know what to say to these people, but Xie Chunmei was already paralyzed, so arguing with them seemed to be completely pointless.
Jiang Chunsheng walked out reluctantly, and said to Ji Chen as he left, "You're so busy, why don't you just send me living expenses? I'll hire someone to take care of me."
Jiang Lai followed behind, echoing her sentiments.
The shamelessness of these two people kept pushing the boundaries of her understanding.
Jiang Xue said coldly, "Ji Chen, did you secretly give them money again?"
Ji Chen immediately held his breath, not daring to say anything. He had indeed given money to Jiang Chunsheng, and not only that, but a lot of it. Did he dare to say it now? Absolutely not.
"I didn't give it to him."
As soon as Ji Chen finished speaking, Jiang Chunsheng hurriedly pulled Jiang Lai away.
Jiang Xue rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Chunsheng's clothes tightly. "Tell me, how much of a bribe did you receive from Ji Chen?"
Jiang Xue was initially suspicious. It turned out that these two people hadn't come to cause trouble for so long because they had received benefits from Ji Chen.
If you don't tell me, believe me, I'll go back and check the accounts. You'll have to make up for any shortfall. If I calculate it to be much less, then I'll put it all on your shoulders.
You'll have to pay me back with interest then.
Jiang Xue was just bluffing them, and she never expected that these two people would be so easily fooled.
“My brother-in-law gives me 150 a month, saying it’s to hire someone to take care of Mom, but we’ve only been receiving it for a month,” Jiang Lai said, still quite impatiently.
“My brother-in-law said that as long as we don’t bother you, anything is fine,” Jiang Lai said quite confidently.
Jiang Xue frowned deeply upon hearing this. What kind of talk was this? She had only received the salary for a month. What does a month mean? Many families couldn't earn that much money in two or three months.
The employees in her factory work hard, but they only earn this much money a month.
"Ji Chen, why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Xue stared angrily at Ji Chen.
Ji Chen felt uneasy under Jiang Xue's gaze.
But since she's his wife, whatever she says is right.
"Weren't you too busy before? I didn't want to bother you." Ji Chen said, while helping to tidy up the house.
