Yang Tianci's hand was pinched by Jiang Chen, and it was painful. But he ignored the pain when he heard Yang Si's words and said quickly: "Sister, what are you talking about? It's not that I don't want to lend you money, but I really don't have money. We are siblings, and blood is thicker than water. If I really have money, how can I not lend it to you? I am very sad when you say that."
Jiang Chen's men exerted force, and seeing Yang Tianci's instantly distorted expression and angry eyes, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I heard that you just made some money from stock trading a few days ago, about 40,000 or 50,000. You can use that money to pay us back first."
"How do you know!"
Yang Tianci's words blurted out, making Yang Si, who didn't even have time to be surprised, feel cold all over in an instant.
This is the good brother whom she took good care of when he was a child, helped desperately when he grew up, and spoiled and protected even at the expense of quarreling with her husband.
When she had money, she would lie on her and suck her blood desperately. She would say anything to please her for money. But once she encountered difficulties, she would run away faster than anyone else. Not only that, she would gloat over her misfortune and add insult to injury together with her wife. Yang Maosheng was only twelve years old now. If he hadn't heard people around him say that, he wouldn't have said those words just now. It shows how his younger brother's family usually talks about them.
"Sister!" Seeing Yang Si's expression, Yang Tianci panicked a little. He said quickly, "Don't listen to that kid, don't listen to Jiang Chen's nonsense. How can I have 40,000 or 50,000 yuan? It's impossible. If I had money, why wouldn't I lend it to you, right?"
"So what if he has money? I won't lend it to you even if I have it!" An old lady in a flowery cotton-padded jacket came out with a cold snort. She looked at Yang Si and Jiang Chen with undisguised disgust. "What's wrong with Tianci being rich? He has money because he is rich! It's our Yang family's money! Do we have to give it to you, a married woman, to treat a cripple who we don't even know if he can be cured? You've become more capable! You've even calculated money on your brother! What? Do you want to calculate when your father and I will die, and how much money we can give you after we die?"
Yang Si subconsciously retorted: "Mom, how could I think like that, I..."
"That's what you think!" The old lady hunched over, her fingers almost touching Yang Si's nostrils, "If you don't think so, why would you come to your brother to ask for money? You want to force me and your father to death, right? You will be happy only if we die, right?"
When Yang Si was pointed at, he felt a chill in his heart, his hands and mouth were trembling, but he found that he could not utter a word.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old lady became even more angry. After scolding Yang Si, she started scolding Jiang Chen: "It was you, the little bastard, who was mean to my grandson just now? What about good grades? In my eyes, you are not even as good as my Shengsheng. You are not even worthy of carrying his shoes! If you have the ability, go and take care of your disabled father's shit and urine, don't show off in front of our Yang family!"
"Mom!" Yang Si shouted, "How can you say that about Chenchen! He is also your grandson!"
"What grandson?" Old Madam Yang spat, "His nose, eyes, and mouth don't look like my Yang family's at all, and he doesn't have the same surname as me. How can he be considered my grandson?"
Jiang Chen had no objection to these words, because it seemed that he really had no blood of the Yang family. Not only the Yang family, but also the Jiang family. However, Yang Si was so angry at her mother's biased words that her face turned pale. She couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. Between the anger and disappointment, there was also a sense of relief that was about to be relieved.
Yang Si was extremely angry, but calmed down instead: "You don't recognize Jiang Chen as your grandson, then do you recognize me as your daughter?"
"You can have me and your father recognize you if you want." Old Madam Yang looked down upon her and snorted, "As long as you divorce that cripple and remarry, your father and I will recognize you. If you want to live with that mess for the rest of your life, don't blame me for treating you as my daughter."
"Okay!" Yang Si said expressionlessly, "From today on, I only have my husband and son, and no longer have my parents or brother. From now on, we will go our separate ways, and it doesn't matter whether we live well or poorly."
The old lady didn't expect Yang Si to actually agree to it. She was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes. Yang Tianci's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to lose his sister's subsidy! No matter what she is like now, she doesn't want him to pay anyway. If things are over in the future, he can still get money from his sister and brother-in-law, but once they fall out, he will lose a way to make money in the future!
Not only Yang Tianci thought so, but also Old Lady Yang, who had always bullied her daughter ruthlessly and had never seen her resist, thought so. She had found a fifty-year-old man who had not found a wife. The man did not mind whether the wife had been married and had children before, and he promised to give a dowry of 10,000 yuan!
Old Madam Yang and Yang Tianci wanted to say something to smooth things over, but before they could, Old Man Yang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. He frowned, his wrinkles like ravines: "Since you said that, our Yang family will no longer have a daughter like you!"
"dad!"
"Old man!"
“Don’t talk.” Old Master Yang shouted angrily, and with a gloomy expression, he glanced at Jiang Chen and said, “After all, you are not of the Yang family’s bloodline. You are a traitor. You and your mother will never step into our Yang family’s door again!”
Jiang Chen nodded obediently and even smiled at them. Then, under the angry eyes of the Yang family, he supported Yang Si and said, "Mom, Mr. and Mrs. Yang don't recognize you, but you still have me and my dad. We can always find a way to deal with family problems. Let's go."
Mr. Yang's face became even darker when Jiang Chen said "Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang", but Yang Si's eyes suddenly turned red.
Her parents favored her younger brother, and her younger brother treated her like an ATM. She had long been accustomed to these things and had long resented them in her heart. Besides feeling sad and disappointed about this outburst, she could not help but feel resentment, because after all, they were her parents who gave birth to her.
But how could they! How dare they treat Jiang Chen like this!
This was her son whom she had always held in her arms, fearing that he might get hurt, and whom she had always taken good care of. But today, he was turned away by his own relatives and was insulted and cursed with the most vicious words. But even so, he did not show any sadness, and even forced a smile to reassure her.
Even if all the family members were tied together, they would not be as good as her precious son!
"Let's go!"
Yang Si held Jiang Chen's hand tightly and took him away without any reluctance.
After leaving the community, the anger on Yang Si's face faded, replaced by a sorrow that was difficult to conceal.
Jiang Chen's smiling face dimmed when he saw this. He pursed his lips but didn't know what to say.
The reason why Yang Si and the Yang family broke up so quickly was actually because of him. When they were in the car, he used the two words "pay back the money" to change Yang Si's mind, and made her go from being nervous and uneasy about borrowing money to feeling at ease about getting her own money back. Once she accepted this psychological hint, she would be less tolerant when facing the suppression of the Yang family.
However, one sentence can only plant a seed. Without the aggressiveness and insults from the Yang family, the seed would not have taken root and sprouted quickly. Taking root and sprouting is not enough. What Jiang Chen wants is for the seed to grow into a big tree, big enough to break Yang Si's bottom line and make her completely break with the Yang family.
And the fertilizer that enables the seedling to grow into a towering tree is himself.
Jiang Chen knew better than anyone how much his mother loved him. She could endure all hardships and dangers, all insults and injustices, and even be so humble as to wipe her face in the mud and endure it. But the only thing she could not tolerate was that her child had to suffer all of this.
Therefore, from the moment Jiang Chen decided to follow, Yang Si and the Yang family were destined to break up.
Jiang Chen did not regret doing all this. The Yang family was a group of blood-sucking worms. If he let them go, he would only harm himself. Only by getting rid of them early could he stop the loss in time.
Just seeing Yang Si's lonely expression, he felt distressed and annoyed at the same time. If he had not fanned the flames when he spoke just now, the Yang family might not have said such excessive things, and his mother might not have been so sad.
When they reached the bus stop, Yang Si finally spoke.
She looked up at her tall and handsome son and suppressed the heat in her eyes: "Chenchen, don't listen to what your grandparents said just now. They don't treat you as their grandson, and you don't have to treat them as your relatives. Don't feel sad for them. It's mom's fault for bringing you here, but letting them insult and bully you like this..."
Jiang Chen was stunned. After seeing the heartache and self-blame in Yang Si's eyes, he realized the reason for her sadness and clenched his hands at his side into fists.
"Mom." Jiang Chen relaxed his clenched fist and gently placed it on Yang Si, leaning forward to look her in the eye. "I'm not sad, and you shouldn't blame yourself for it. I've never had much contact with the Yang family since I was a child, and you know that I don't like them. To put it bluntly, I've never considered them my relatives. In this case, I naturally won't be sad because outsiders scold me. I'm just angry that they treat you badly."
Hearing him say this, Yang Si's tears finally became unbearable. She covered her mouth and sobbed. After crying a few times, she suppressed her tears again. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Mom is not sad. As long as Chenchen is not sad, Mom will not be sad. From now on, Mom will only be sad for you and Dad. Mom only has you two relatives, no one else!"
After she finished speaking, her tearful eyes shone with a clear and resolute light, and the depression and sadness that had just enveloped her were swept away. She wiped away her tears, even smiled, and murmured, "Actually, this is the best way."
The car slowly stopped. Yang Si wiped her tears again, got in the car first, and said, "Let's go home."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and agreed with her: "Go home."
Before getting in the car, he glanced in the direction of Yang Tianci's residential area, with the coldness in his eyes undisguised.
In his first life, after his mother had a falling out with the Yang family, Yang Tianci's family had caused trouble for his family. Even after his mother passed away, they went to his school and made a scene for the insurance money, accusing him of embezzling the money left by his mother to his uncle, and forced him to drop out of school. After that, when they knew that he had opened a company with Huo Boxenxu, they shamelessly came to recognize him as a relative, trying to pretend that nothing had happened and use blood ties to force him to compromise.
At that time, he was extremely annoyed, so he found someone to induce Yang Tianci and Yang Shengmao, who had not yet graduated, to gamble and engage in prostitution. In less than three months, Yang Tianci's family was broken up.
In his first life, he didn't take Yang Tianci's family seriously, but now it seems that the timing of Yang Tianci's appearance every time is too clever, as if someone is directing him from behind.
Jiang Chen knew who that person was.
In this life, not only will he make the Yang family suffer an even more tragic end, but he will also make the people behind them suffer a million times more tragic end.
