Jiang Huashu sneered, his eyes filled with coldness. He stood up, walked over to Guan Xiao'e, and said word by word, "Friendship? Friendship from childhood? Friendship when you bullied me and didn't give me food as a child? Or friendship when my wife washed your clothes and waited on you since you were little? Guan Xiao'e, ask yourself, from childhood to adulthood, have you ever cared about me or Dong Xiaomai in the slightest? You said your father has been punished, so do I have to forget everything your father did to my family and be grateful to you? I tell you, I will never forget the decades of being hurt by you, and I will never forget the tears my mother shed because of me, and the innocent souls of those killed by your father."
Guan Xiao'e's face turned pale and ugly. She hadn't expected Jiang Huashu to bring up something from over a decade ago so directly. She panicked, not knowing what to do. Her plan for coming here was all good. She'd pretend to reminisce with Jiang Huashu, then use the excuse of growing up together as an excuse to stay. She knew Jiang Huashu's character too well, and a little care from him was very helpful. Then, after a while, she'd have Jiang Huashu arrange jobs for her husband and children, and schools for the grandchildren. They'd live together forever, eating and living in the Jiang family's house.
But reality was completely the opposite of what she had planned. What had gone wrong? Why was Jiang Huashu's attitude so different from when he was back home? Back then, he was completely obedient to her, a kindhearted man who would do any work asked of him by the family and never refused.
"Second brother, how did you become like this?" Guan Xiao'e asked.
Jiang Huashu asked back, "What's wrong with me? I'm just telling you that some things can't be solved with just an apology. Do you understand the pain your father and your entire family have brought to me and my family?"
Guan Xiao'e's eyes welled with tears. She knew Jiang Huashu was right. But she still tried to defend herself: "My father has been punished. Isn't that enough? We...we used to be siblings..."
"Brother and sister?" Jiang Huashu sneered, turned around, and his eyes were like knives. "Would a brother and sister kick you when you are in trouble? Would a brother and sister watch you suffer and remain indifferent? Guan Xiao'e, you and I both know that there is no love between us. As early as the first time you chose to bully me and my wife, the brotherhood between us was severed."
"Brother, I was young and ignorant at that time. After I got married, I stopped bullying my second sister-in-law, didn't I?" Guan Xiao'e tried to explain.
Jiang Huashu waved his hand: "Don't call me second brother, I don't deserve this title. I'm not your second brother, I'm Jiang Huashu, and I have nothing to do with your Guan family. Also, this is the first time in all these years that I've heard you call my wife second sister-in-law. Unfortunately, it's too late."
"No, you are my second brother. No matter what, I am your sister. Now that I am suffering, you have to take care of me."
"Second Brother Guan, how can you be so heartless? Even if we are not related by blood, we grew up together. No matter how unwilling you are to admit it, there is nothing we can do. This is not something you can just turn your back on. Our whole family has come to live with you. If you are a familiar person, you should treat us well. Otherwise, we will all forget it!" At this time, Guan Xiao'e's mother-in-law, the skinny and hunchbacked old lady began to make her presence felt.
