"I was wondering why you didn't even eat the cornmeal for lunch. It turns out you fell into the rice jar and became a thief! How could the Jiang family have a prodigal child like you!"
"Your father works so hard in the fields, and all you do is slack off and steal food!"
Jiang Henian was completely confused and became furious after being scolded. With a bang, he threw the heavy bamboo basket on his back to the ground, scattering fresh pig grass all over the ground.
He glanced coldly at Wang Chunfang, who was standing with his hands on his hips and looking aggressive, and Jiang Chengmin, who was sitting in the yard smoking a pipe.
"What do you mean?"
"Still playing dumb, huh? Xiaobao said you stole his candy and even stole money from home to buy snacks! How can that be right? If you stole from someone else's house, you'd be arrested and criticized by the team! You'd lose all your dignity!"
Jiang Xiaobao?
Jiang Henian's gaze immediately turned to Luobotou who was standing behind the door curtain.
This damn kid.
Are you trying to kill me after I've done my job?
Jiang Henian kicked the bamboo basket that was in the way away, walked quickly to the door, and pulled out Jiang Xiaobao who was trying to run away.
"Ah! Let me go! Sanya, let me go! Mother! Mother, please save me! She's going to kill me!"
Jiang Xiaobao howled at the top of his lungs.
"Saya! You're outrageous! Let go of your brother!"
Wang Chunfang's most precious child was Jiang Xiaobao. Seeing Jiang Henian grabbing the back of his neck, his face was filled with heartache and he cried out, "Boss, look at her!"
"Girl."
Jiang Chengmin flicked the ash from his cigarette with his index finger, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Apologize to your mother and hand over the money."
Jiang Henian turned a deaf ear with a stern face and grabbed Jiang Xiaobao's fleshy face which was tearless.
"Tell me! When did I steal your candy? Which eye of yours saw me stealing money?"
"You stole my candy! Where else would you get the candy from?"
Jiang Xiaobao tilted his head, hit Jiang Henian's thighs with his hands, and cried.
"You dumb! Idiot! A burden! Why did you steal my candy? They're all mine! You're possessed by a ghost and you dare to hit me! Ah, it hurts, it hurts, motherfucker——!"
"You damn girl! You're such a black-hearted person! You're going to kill your brother!"
Wang Chunfang was so angry that she didn't care that Jiang Chengmin was there. She rushed over and wanted to slap Jiang Henian as usual, "You stole things and you dared to hit people! You bitch——"
Jiang Henian grabbed Jiang Xiaobao's arm and pushed hard to stop Wang Chunfang.
"He deserves to be beaten for his bad mouth!"
Jiang Henian stared at Jiang Xiaobao coldly.
This little brat is only six years old and he already betrays, lies, and throws dirty water. He has no respect for the original owner as her sister.
The upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked too. I learned all this from Wang Chunfang in secret.
"Mom! This little bastard hit me! She dared to hit me! Beat her to death!"
Jiang Xiaobao covered his red face and threw himself into Wang Chunfang's arms, crying like a ghost.
Wang Chunfang finally did not lose her mind and quickly covered Jiang Xiaobao's mouth, glanced at Jiang Chengmin, and whispered urgently:
"What nonsense! She is your sister!"
"What's going on? What's going on? I heard the noise from far away."
The half-open wooden door was pushed open, and Jiang Jirong and his wife Lu Shuying returned from work with their two-year-old son Jiang Fuquan on their backs, followed by Jiang Yanqiu.
The three of them were responsible for transporting corn in the afternoon and came back a little late.
Jiang Jirong glanced at his stepfather's face as he sat beside him, then quickly turned around and closed the gate.
"Mom, what are you doing? Xiaobao is crying so loudly."
This was the first time that her stepdaughter disobeyed her to such an extent. Wang Chunfang was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She hugged Jiang Xiaobao, who finally squeezed out tears, and complained:
"Saya stole money from our family, Xiaobao told me, and she beat Xiaobao up! Look at his face, it's swollen!"
"Again, I didn't steal."
Jiang Henian took a step forward and stared coldly at Jiang Xiaobao in her arms. "If you have the guts, say it again in front of me. If you're lying, don't blame me for beating you up."
Jiang Xiaobao covered his cheeks tightly. He was used to being domineering at home. This was the first time someone punished him, and he finally felt scared.
The third sister has changed into a demon who can bite people!
When everyone saw Jiang Xiaobao crying and refusing to speak again, they all looked at him with different expressions.
Wang Chunfang also sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to explain: "You've clearly been forced to confess! You've frightened my brother!"
"Okay, mother, it's all a misunderstanding. Xiaobao is ignorant and must have made a mistake. How could my third sister do such a thing?"
The eldest brother, Jiang Jirong, walked over quickly to separate the group and asked with concern, "Third sister, why are you covered in so much blood? Where are you injured?"
This stepbrother was a loyal and honest person, and was not bad to the original owner. He was the only one who noticed the blood on his clothes after such a long time.
Jiang Henian was not ungrateful. He didn't show any displeasure towards him. He just shook his head and said that he had gotten on it accidentally.
"It's okay," Jiang Jirong said, feeling relieved. He then advised, "It's getting dark. Don't bother the neighbors. Shuying, go cook. They must be hungry."
Lu Shuying was still carrying her sleeping son on her back. Upon hearing this, she looked at Jiang Henian who was standing still and felt a little uncomfortable.
My sister-in-law used to cook the meals, and she had to carry the child on her back and go to the fields, which was the hardest job. If she did it today, would all the work fall on her from now on?
She shook the cub on her back and said, "Fuquan is about to wake up. I have to feed him some rice porridge first, otherwise he will make a fuss all night. Otherwise... Yanqiu, can you light the stove first? I'll come and cook after I finish feeding him."
"Ah, it will take a while." Jiang Yanqiu, who never had to do housework, leaned against the door, hooked her braids with her fingers, and watched her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.
The whole family suddenly froze in a strange manner.
Jiang Henian looked at them looking at him and laughed angrily. It seemed that they had just caught the original owner and taken advantage of him.
Jiang Chengmin finally finished smoking, crushed the cigarette butt to the ground, and stood up with his hands behind his back.
"Don't cry, Xiaobao. What's the point of making so much noise?"
His tone was calm, but it carried the dignity of the head of the family. Jiang Xiaobao also knew how to read people's expressions, so he didn't dare to make a fuss and could only sob.
Wang Chunfang was a little nervous. She had dealt with her stepdaughter many times before, but she always did it behind the scenes. She still put on a show of doing it.
The boss must not take the word "burden" to heart.
She patted Jiang Xiaobao's butt and scolded him, "That's right! You've been playing outside lately and didn't even come back for lunch. You've learned all kinds of nonsense and are talking nonsense. Go wash your hands quickly."
Jiang Xiaobao looked at Jiang Henian with his big eyes as he walked towards the water tank, with fear and resentment on his face.
"San'er, feed the pig grass to the pigs."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Henian withdrew his gaze from the brat and looked at this cheap father.
No wonder the original owner was so gloomy and taciturn, his stepmother was vicious and cruel, his biological father was indifferent and indifferent, and he just assumed that he had stolen the money without any reason.
If it were the original owner, he would probably just accept defeat, work in secret, and die of depression.
