Jiang Zuoque waited and waited, standing by the roadside. He expected Jiang Yuting to arrive soon.
After all, they used to have a good relationship, and he also gave Jiang Yuting a look.
"Why aren't they here yet?"
Jiang Zuoque paced back and forth by the roadside, his heart pounding with anxiety.
If he hadn't been so certain that Jiang Yuting and the Jiang family wouldn't have known, he would have suspected that Jiang Yuting was deliberately keeping him at arm's length.
The midday sun had moved to the west, and its bright light had transformed into dazzling colors.
Having gone without food or drink all afternoon, Jiang Zuoque was starting to feel the strain, but he dared not leave. Time was running out; he needed to get under Jiang Yuting's control as soon as possible.
"Mother, Jiang Zuoque is still waiting up ahead."
After the family finished eating, they took a nap.
They strolled leisurely towards the county town. Just as they expected, Jiang Zuoque was still waiting by the roadside, his face showing anxiety, unease, and impatience, with a hint of desperate anticipation.
[Blacker than a toad, yet it dares to covet a swan.]
[They certainly don't think they've covered their tracks perfectly and can pretend nothing happened.]
Let's go!
Holding her daughter's little hand, her husband walked beside her; the family was together in harmony.
It was something Jiang Yuting had dreamed of, and now it had come true. Aside from initially losing control of her emotions upon seeing Jiang Zuoque, she felt nothing now.
She's destined to die, why should she get angry with a dead person?
"Little Yuting~"
It was so far away; Jiang Zuoque's voice reached Li Yiyi even before he got close.
I feel nauseous, what should I do?
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting: They also felt like vomiting.
"Uncle, how does Xiaoqiang taste? Is it sweet and sour? I want to eat it a second time after eating it once."
To prevent Jiang Zuoque's chilling voice from coming out again, Li Yiyi decided to speak first.
She didn't do it on purpose; she was just curious and had promised her uncle she would ask him about it.
Jiang Cheng: Thank you, my dear niece, you are so filial.
Jiang Zuoque opened his mouth but immediately closed it again; he could hardly forget the taste of that day.
This is one of the reasons why he adopted Li Fuyi as his goddaughter; he didn't want to revisit the place he had been before.
"Uncle, do you still want to eat? Grandma Zhu's little cockroach has given birth to many more babies. If you like, you can buy it again. Grandma Zhu will give you a discount if you are a regular customer."
Words didn't kill him, but they pierced Jiang Zuoque's heart.
Her little mouth rattled off a string of words, taking Jiang Zuoque back to that nightmare. If he could, Jiang Zuoque really wanted to cover Li Yiyi's mouth.
This child is just as annoying as her father.
Li Laoda: I can understand why some people say the grapes are sour because they can't reach them.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Er's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. They recalled what had happened that day, and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
This is what happens when you don't pay back your money.
"Yuting, it's been a long time."
Ignoring Li Yiyi, his lingering gaze returned to Jiang Yuting's eyes and brows.
As I painstakingly copied the image, it matched my memory of her. To my surprise, after more than a decade, Jiang Yuting was still as beautiful as ever.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the one who plucked that flower.
I wanted to keep watching, but Jiang Yuting was completely blocked by Boss Li.
"Comrade, your eyes are so dirty, how long has it been since you washed them?"
Looking at his wife with such filthy eyes is a desecration of her; it's disgusting.
"Dad, how can you tell that Uncle's eyes are dirty? He's so dark, and his whole body is dirty."
As a master of assists, Li Yiyi would never miss any opportunity to cooperate with Boss Li.
My dad's right, it's really dirty.
[Dirty eyes, a weak heart, and still lacking self-awareness.]
[Mom and Dad, I think this black outfit suits Jiang Zuoque very well, don't change it.]
With a thought, another talisman, developed but not yet tested, fell into Jiang Zuoqiu's possession.
That's more like it. A black-hearted person should have a black skin; only when the heart and skin are aligned can one truly be honest.
He didn't use any profanity, but for some reason, it sounded like he was swearing.
Behind Jiang Zuoque, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er silently gave Li Yi a thumbs up. "Great, if only they had such sharp tongues!"
In return, they received an encouraging look from Li Yiyi.
If you want to, you can.
Feeling greatly encouraged, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er responded gratefully to Li Yi.
Li Yiyi: Oh yeah, great, we've successfully turned two people against us.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Er: We don't need to be turned against us; we're just two pitiful working people.
“Yuting, these are your husband and your daughter. How can they talk like that? They have no manners at all.”
Still avoiding the topic, and repeatedly ridiculed, Jiang Zuoque's face turned cold, and he used the tactics he had learned over the years on Jiang Yuting.
Ugly people are always causing trouble; my mother isn't your subordinate.
[What are you putting on airs for? A nobody like me has no right to speak.]
Squeezing her daughter's small hand, Jiang Yuting smiled, revealing the thorn hidden behind her beautiful face.
"Jiang Zuoque, we're not that close, don't call me that."
Jiang Yuting refused Jiang Zuoque without hesitation. She glanced at Li Laoda and Li Yiyi; her daughter and husband were both there.
"Also, my daughter and my husband are right, Jiang Zuoque, your eyes are indeed very dirty, just like when you first came to my house."
She specifically pointed out the past that Jiang Zuoque had tried to cover up. Many years had passed, and what she didn't understand before, Jiang Yuting had long since seen through.
It wasn't that Jiang Zuoque was ungrateful; it was just that he had always been this way.
They covet what others have and resent what others are born into, yet they fail to examine their own shortcomings.
