Jiang Xiu's mother, Chen Guixiang, was washing clothes at the door when she saw several people walking towards her house. The bright and beautiful girl at the front looked familiar. Jiang Xiu raised her wet hand to wipe her eyes, and thought, "Why does she look so familiar?"
Just as I was about to go closer to take a look, I discovered that it was Jiang Wanqing who had returned!
She threw down the club and her clothes, and angrily got up and rushed over.
"You shameless bastard, you dare to come back? Get out of here! The Jiang family doesn't welcome you!"
She spat a few times, and Jiang Wanqing cleverly hid behind Sister Ju. The spit landed on Sister Ju's shoes, which was disgusting.
Just as she was feeling frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger, Sister Ju put her hands on her hips and started cursing.
"Are you trying to call back the soul? There's an old saying that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With a mother like you, how could your Xiuer be any better? Bah!"
"What business is it of yours! Go back to your home and take care of your good-for-nothing husband!"
This perfectly confirms Jiang Wanqing's words. Originally, Aunt Ju had some doubts and came over to see the Jiang family make a fool of themselves. Now, after being provoked again, she completely believed Jiang Xiu's talk about her family behind her back.
"So, you've made your daughter so famous that it's been reported in the newspapers, and instead of doing anything about it, you're bossing me around! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll think I'm a pushover!"
Sister Ju rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to attack Chen Guixiang, but Aunt Wan pulled her back.
"We're all neighbors, let's not hurt our harmony. She already has enough trouble with her immoral daughter, let's not add to her problems."
She seemed to be trying to mediate the fight, but in reality, she was stirring things up. Aunt Wan didn't want to be the bad guy, so she pushed others out and made Chen Guixiang look like a sieve with just one sentence.
Who are you calling immoral?
In fact, Jiang Xiu had heard the noise outside long ago. She had been trying to keep a low profile and avoid trouble for the past few days, but now she couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed open the door, took off her headscarf, and started arguing with the other woman.
"I'm talking about you, so what? You dare to do it yourself but you don't want others to talk about it? That big photo in the newspaper, is it you or a ghost? Humph, so you let Wanqing marry in your place, but you stole her boyfriend. And to make matters worse, your taste is worse than shit. You can't lift a finger, you probably can't even steal a chicken or a dog."
And you know what? Sister Ju's mouth was like it was coated with venom, extremely lethal. Not only did she scold Jiang Xiu, but she also indirectly insulted Yuan Zhong.
Jiang Wanqing suppressed a laugh; this way of venting her anger without having to lift a finger was simply too satisfying.
Seeing that Jiang Xiu was so angry that she couldn't speak, she stared straight at Jiang Wanqing.
"It's all because of you! You shameless woman, how dare you show your face here."
The mother and daughter were saying the same things and were equally resentful towards her. This was just the beginning; there would be many more reasons for them to get angry in the future.
However, she hadn't even seen her biological mother since she returned, so Jiang Wanqing skipped over Jiang Xiu and Chen Guixiang and went straight to the side room.
Pushing open the door, there was no one inside. Because of its poor location, the place was damp and dark, completely unsuitable for human habitation. Moreover, it used to be a livestock pens...
Jiang Wanqing had been trying to solve this problem since her rebirth, but she had been struggling to find the right opportunity. Now, the opportunity had come knocking.
Where is my mom?
"Hmph, what does it matter to us where your mother goes? Even if she dies, it has nothing to do with us. She's probably just slacking off somewhere. Ever since we separated the family, Grandma can't get her to do anything. How dare she be an eyesore at home?"
Jiang Xiu finally felt a little pleased when this was mentioned. She raised her chin, crossed her arms, and lightly tapped her fingers on her arm.
"I heard the other day that your Jiang family got into a fight over a radio. Xiuer, you said your aunt stole your things and beat her up. Could it be that Wanqing's mother couldn't stand it and went out to avoid your peace and quiet?"
"Is that so?"
Sister Ju's words caused Jiang Wanqing's expression to change drastically. She abruptly pushed Jiang Xiu into the corner, her gaze questioning.
"You... what do you want to do! It's your mother's fault for stealing my things first, I only touched her, who knew she would blame me... ah!"
Jiang Wanqing, who had been calmly observing the argument between the girls, was not there. She slapped Jiang Xiu across the face, her eyes looking like she wanted to devour her.
Chen Guixiang quickly came up and pulled her away, but Jiang Wanqing, who was usually gentle and weak, was now as strong as an ox and she couldn't pull her away no matter what she did. Instead, she was pushed away herself.
"Get out of my way if you don't want a beating! I'll give you five minutes to find my mom, or Jiang Xiu will either have a broken arm or a broken leg today. You can try me!"
Jiang Wanqing didn't even look at Chen Guixiang, but the threat in her words didn't seem fake. Judging from her posture, she might actually do something ruthless like dislocating an arm.
"I...I'll go right away, don't touch Xiuer."
Aunt Wan and Sister Ju exchanged a glance and retreated to a safer area. They were glad they came to the Jiang family today; they never expected to see such a good show.
As luck would have it, Chen Guixiang ran into her sister-in-law carrying a bag of medicine as she walked home, and quickly pulled her back inside.
"Sister-in-law, you must go and stop Wanqing! She's trying to kill my Xiuer!"
"Wanqing is back?"
Xue He ignored the second half of the sentence and only grasped the information in the first half, then hurriedly ran home.
Upon entering the room, he saw his daughter completely dominating Jiang Xiu, and his fierce gaze softened the moment he saw her.
"mom!"
Having caught her breath, Jiang Xiu hurriedly fled behind Chen Guixiang, but she was still unwilling to give up.
“Your hand…” Jiang Wanqing saw that her mother’s hand was wrapped with a yellowish bandage and a splint.
"Mom is fine. It's good to see you doing well."
Ever since she was taken away, Xue He has been worried for a moment. She worries that she and Cheng Ran won't get along, that she will be bullied, that she won't be used to living in the family compound, and that she will suffer in the future because of the difference in their family backgrounds.
Fortunately, although she didn't meet Cheng Ran in person, she knew that he had arranged for a doctor to treat her husband's illness, and she felt that he was a good person and that her daughter wouldn't be bullied, so she was relieved.
"Jiang Xiu said you stole something, what's going on?"
Somehow, the commotion reached the ears of Jiang Jianwei and Old Gu's wife, who were working in the fields outside. They rushed back without even carrying their hoes.
"Your mother stole Xiuer's radio. I'm being kind by not calling the police on her because she's the eldest sister-in-law. And you still have the nerve to ask what happened! Don't think you're the only one who would dare to lay a hand on her! I'm still here in this house!"
Jiang Xiu's family has always bullied Jiang Wanqing because her father is in poor health and there are no men in the family. Jiang Jianwei's eyes flashed with malice, and he rolled up his tattered sleeves to his elbows, saying that he was going to seek justice for his daughter.
"Your decision not to call the police isn't out of kindness, it's because you're in the wrong! You know perfectly well whether my mother stole Jiang Xiu's things or not. What pots and pans in your house are worth anyone coveting?"
"You disrespectful brat!" Jiang Jianwei felt insulted and raised his hand to strike.
“Jianwei, Wanqing is your niece!” Xue He stopped him.
