Chapter 336: Jiang Ma Humiliated, Jiang Dad Wakes Up (Part 2)
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
Han Yunru lowered her eyes, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
But the mother and daughter were surprisingly tacitly in sync and didn't respond at all, pretending not to hear anything.
Being ignored makes the old lady more angry than arguing.
She wanted to continue, but Jiang Fuyue went straight upstairs, leaving her with a cold back. Han Yunru went into the kitchen and did not come out for a long time.
The old lady was alone in the empty living room, and suddenly she felt an irritation that she had nowhere to vent.
At this moment, Jiang Da happened to come in from the balcony with a pot of green plants in his hand, which he was about to put in the bedroom upstairs.
He thought his wife would like it.
"Boss, stop."
"Mom? What's wrong?" Jiang Da stopped where he was.
"What's that in your hand?"
"Lucky bamboo." He had just trimmed it, and it took a lot of effort.
"It's quite nice. Send it to my room."
Jiang Da: “?”
"Why, you can't bear to give it away?" The old lady's face darkened again. "What kind of valuable thing is it that you can't even give it to your own mother when she asks?"
"No, no..." Jiang Da reacted and shook his head hurriedly, "Mom, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
"Misunderstanding? Your reluctance is written all over your face, how could I be wrong?! Compared to the youngest, you are really not even a little bit inferior."
The youngest refers to Jiang Teng.
"When I was at his house, he gave me everything he could eat, wear, and use. But what about you? He wouldn't even give me a pot of bamboo. What's the point of me working so hard to raise you?!"
Although Jiang Da knew that his mother had favored the third child since childhood and had long been accustomed to it, he was still hurt when it was suddenly mentioned.
"Mom," Jiang Da said seriously, "this kind of bamboo needs pruning and care, which is very troublesome. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I'm worried that it will be inconvenient for you to clean it up. I'm thinking of getting a bigger money tree and putting it in your room someday."
The old lady rarely saw her eldest son so deep, and his dark eyes were filled with emotions that she could not understand.
Those words made her face even more red, and she immediately became angry and embarrassed.
Perhaps he was used to Jiang Da's submissive appearance, so the sudden blow made him extremely uncomfortable, and also brought about the uneasiness that something was about to get out of his control.
Therefore, she chose a more cruel method, trying to deter—
"Oh! So many reasons! I want this pot, is that not okay?! If I can't take care of it, then you take care of it! Boss, you don't even have this little patience for Mom, do you?"
Jiang Da clasped the rim of the basin with both hands, his fingertips turning white.
After a while, under the old lady's arrogant gaze, she said, "...I'll take you to your room."
Only then did Old Mrs. Jiang smile with satisfaction.
That night, everything was silent.
Han Yunru washed away her fatigue, changed into clean pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.
Jiang Da, like a child who had done something wrong, stepped forward with his head held high, his eyes evasive: "Mom said she wanted that pot of lucky bamboo, so..."
"Yeah." Han Yunru responded calmly before he could even finish.
Jiang Da: “?”
Han Yunru: "It's late, go to bed."
That feeling of panic came again, and Jiang Da stood there, feeling a little helpless.
On the other side, Han Yunru had turned off the bedside lamp on her side, lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Jiang Da slowly lay down beside her: "Wife?"
Han Yunru ignored him.
The man knew she was not asleep: "Do you remember when we first got married?"
Han Yunru opened her eyes, and the dim yellow light shone into her eyes, causing a faint fluctuation.
Jiang Da's heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't help but speak faster: "I remember the day we went to get the marriage certificate, the sun was especially bright, and there were magpies singing in the morning. The photos were taken at a small photo studio on the street. The photographer praised you for being photogenic and said that I was ugly, and that our marriage was like a flower stuck in cow dung."
Recalling the past, a look of nostalgia flashed across Han Yunru's calm face.
At that time, we were really poor, but we were also really happy.
Jiang Da: "After we get the certificate, I promise you that from now on, I will obey you in everything, big or small. I will do whatever you ask me to do..."
But the old lady heard this and slapped Jiang Da in the face while she was washing up that night.
The ripples in Han Yunru's eyes quickly subsided.
She turned over, facing away from the man, and said softly, "Why are you saying this? Go to sleep."
Jiang Da pursed his lips, his eyes dimming for a moment.
…
In the middle of the night, there was a loud noise downstairs.
Han Yunru woke up suddenly, threw off the quilt, and quickly rushed to the old lady's room downstairs.
Jiang Da opened his eyes at some point and followed quietly behind...
In the guest room, the old lady overturned a bedside table, and the water cup on the table fell to the floor, with glass shards everywhere.
"Where are the people?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Soon, the door opened from the outside and Han Yunru came in: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"You still remember to come?! Why don't you just fall into a deep sleep?!"
Han Yunru didn't say anything.
"Is the quilt really that warm? No wonder my son has become your ally and alienated me, his biological mother! If I had known you were such a slut, I wouldn't have been so kind as to rescue you!"
Under the light, the old man cursed loudly. Han Yunru stood by the bed, listening quietly, with a cold and calm look in her eyes.
Seeing her stubborn attitude, the old lady got angry: "Do you think I'll believe you if you keep silent? You're really annoyed with me, an old woman, right? Unfortunately, it's useless to annoy me! Jiang Da is my biological son. Since you've married him, you have to be filial to me for the rest of your life, serving me tea and water, and taking care of my excrement and urine!"
"The eldest is a simple and honest man. Even though we haven't been in touch for over a decade, he can't be so cruel as to deny me as his biological mother! So, listen carefully. If you still want to live with my son, you have to learn to be sensible! Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it!"
"Also, I advise you to figure out who's really in charge of this family. Don't think you can get the boss to side with you by pretending to be hardworking and willing to work hard and whispering a few words. Don't even think about it!"
Han Yunru lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes: "Mom, you don't have to say these words, I know everything."
"Oh, that's good to know. If you behave yourself, you will still have a place in the Jiang family. Otherwise, I will ask the boss to divorce you! Why don't you help me to the toilet quickly?!"
Since Chunni left, this scene has happened countless times at night.
The old lady got up five or six times at night. Every time if Han Yunru couldn't get there in time, she would get furious and throw things and smash things.
When Han Yunru arrived, she humiliated her with the harshest words, and then ordered her to do this and that like a slave.
There are endless disgusting methods.
But Han Yunru never complained, and never even mentioned it in front of Jiang Da.
While the old lady was in the bathroom, she had already cleaned up the glass fragments on the floor.
Pick up the big ones with your hands first, then sweep the small ones with a broom. Finally, wipe it again with a wet cloth to make sure all the debris is cleaned up before you finish.
And the old lady on the other end was already shouting——
"Come in and help me pull up my pants!"
Han Yunru quickened her movements and suddenly said, "Hiss..."
She frowned, but didn't care about her fingers being cut by the glass, and hurried to the bathroom.
Then the old lady's voice came from inside -
"Flush the toilet by the way."
"It's better to scrub it again with detergent. I can't stand those dirty things."
"Do you know how to do it?! Bend your waist a little bit, and then go down further. How are you going to clean it like this?!"
"What are you afraid of when water splashes on your face? If you can't even handle this little hardship, how can you be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family?"
"Why, do you dislike my stench? Why don't you turn your head like that?!"
“…”
Jiang Da stood outside the door, saw everything clearly from beginning to end, and heard every word clearly.
He seemed to be struck by lightning and froze in place, unable to move.
All that filled his mind was the image of Han Yunru, her frail figure standing still, silently listening to the old lady's obscene words; and the image of her squatting down, picking up the broken glass piece by piece, the light shining on her back, yet revealing no warmth...
At that moment, Jiang Da's heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible hand, feeling sore and painful, almost suffocating.
Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and soon, a tear fell to the floor.
Then, more and more...
A burly man was hiding in the corner, tears and snot streaming down his face, crying like a child who couldn't find his home.
He finally realized where he went wrong.
His neglect indulged the old lady's evil, and his tolerance became her excuse to continue to push her limits. All of this deeply wronged Ah Ru...
