Jiang Ranran's repeated refusals have angered Jiang Zhen.
In his opinion, Jiang Ranran was still holding a grudge against what happened that year, so she refused to leave.
"Do you really have to make things difficult for Cha Cha?" Jiang Zhen asked her harshly.
It's all her fault. Why did she target Cha Cha?
"Five years ago, when I learned that Chacha was the biological child of A-Du and me, I wanted you and Chacha to get along well. I didn't mean to drive you away. Who knew..."
Who knew that her scandal would be reported in the newspaper, damaging the family's reputation. He also lost face and had no choice but to kick her out.
He had originally planned to take her back after the storm was over, but every time he saw Jiang Cha Cha's eyes and eyebrows that were similar to those of his deceased wife, he would remember how much Bai Tu loved Jiang Ranran, and how he himself doted on this only daughter.
The more this happened, the more he felt that he owed Jiang Cha Cha too much, and he wanted to compensate Jiang Cha Cha with all the love and favor he had not given her over the years.
As time went by, Jiang Cha Cha became the only daughter in his heart, and he had long forgotten Jiang Ranran.
"If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't blame Cha Cha. She is innocent."
No amount of explanation can change the facts.
Jiang Ranran has always had feelings for Jiang Zhen. After her mother passed away, the father and daughter lived together day and night for more than ten years. Since she was a child, she would brag to others that she had a good father who loved her dearly. She also regarded Jiang Zhen as more important than her own life.
The reason I was afraid to see him was that I was afraid that I would not be able to control my emotions and would call him dad like before, and put my arm around his shoulders and act coquettishly with him like Jiang Cha Cha.
Only today, when they met, did she realize how stupid she was. Now in Jiang Zhen's eyes, only Jiang Cha Cha was his daughter, and she had become an irrelevant person. The love and favor she still missed now belonged to Jiang Cha Cha.
"You don't have to explain to me. I've never blamed anyone, nor have I ever thought of competing with Jiang Cha Cha for anything, let alone whether we can get along. She's the one who's always been targeting me."
She guessed that it was Jiang Cha Cha who said bad things about her to him and used Jiang Zhen's hand to force her to leave.
"She has a good father like you to support her, but I don't have that, so I won't provoke her for no reason, don't worry."
"But if she comes to provoke me, I will definitely not give in to her." After saying that, he turned around and went back.
A broken mirror cannot be mended, and a broken jar can only be broken.
No matter how well it is glued, it will no longer be the same as it was originally.
A week has passed since Jiang Zhen last came to see her.
When Jiang Ranran got off work, she passed by the vegetable market and bought some meat, wanting to make something delicious for the children.
When he was almost home, he hid the meat behind him, wanting to give them a surprise.
Before I could even enter, the door opened from the inside.
Grandma Zhang snatched the things that were about to be thrown away from the landlord and held them tightly in her arms. Seeing Jiang Ranran coming back, she hurriedly told her, "Miss, the landlord said he wants to kick us out."
Evict them? She had just paid the overdue rent two days ago, and the due date hadn't even arrived yet. Why was she evicting them?
The landlord curled his lips at Jiang Ranran and took out a stack of money from his pocket, "Here, I'll pay you the rent."
Jiang Ranran gave it to me two days ago, and not a penny was missing.
"I have already rented this house to someone else. Please hurry up and clean up and make room for it."
"We're still living here, and you rented it to someone else? Now you want us to move, where are we going to live?"
The landlord didn't care whether she had a place to live or not, and just turned and left.
Jiang Ranran stopped the landlord who was about to leave. Seeing that hard tactics didn't work, she tried soft tactics. "Sister Landlord, it's almost dark, and I have three children with me. If you ask me to move now, where can we go? Please have pity on us and let us stay here for one more night. I will definitely move out tomorrow morning, okay?"
The landlord was also in a dilemma. “No, you have to move out now.”
"Sister, can you tell me why you want to chase us away?"
She really couldn't understand why the landlord, who was usually greedy for money, would return the rent to her in full.
Unless someone gave her more money.
Seeing the landlord hesitate, Jiang Ranran pretended to be sad and said, "Even if I leave, I have to leave with a clear mind."
"I told you, you have to move out."
As mothers themselves, she actually felt quite sympathetic towards Jiang Ranran. It wasn't easy raising three children. "Someone gave me some money and told me to kick you out today, the sooner the better. Don't blame me, I was also forced to do so by life."
No need to think, it must be Jiang Zhen. They parted on bad terms last time, and a week later, she thought he had listened to what she said and would believe her, but she didn't expect that he still wouldn't let her go.
They had no choice but to pack up and leave with Grandma Zhang and the children. The three little ones were very sensible and helped to carry things.
This is the time after dinner when everyone has nothing to do and wants to go out for a stroll.
The people in the yard saw Jiang Ranran leading Grandma Zhang and three children out with bags and started gossiping.
"See? Gone. It was like this when we came here. Country people coming to the city."
He lives in the slums and is not much better off than the country people, but he looks down on them.
Demeaning others to elevate yourself.
"She has an old nanny by her side, and her three children have no father. I don't even know if they are her own children." She gossips and spreads rumors.
"I once heard the old lady calling that woman "Miss", haha...Miss, you can't even eat, but you are still playing role-playing games, you have no shame." A young boy was hiding at the door to eat, while imitating the adults and pointing at Jiang Ranran.
"Stop talking, she's looking over here."
Someone said something and everyone shut up, but they were not afraid of Jiang Ranran.
So what if they looked over? What could a little girl do to them? With so many people, a single spit from each of them could drown her.
Jiang Ranran had always been a victim of their bullying. Ever since she moved into this large courtyard, she had become their topic of conversation after dinner.
She came from the countryside, had no husband, had three children at a young age, was beautiful but not sociable, went out early and came back late every day, and no one knew where she went. No relatives had ever visited her, and most importantly, she was as poor as they were.
He takes pleasure in satisfying his own inferiority complex by lip-service to her choreography.
No one talks behind anyone’s back, and no one talks about others in front of them.
The evil mouths of the world can talk about others but not about themselves.
In the past, when you lived under someone's roof, you had to bow your head.
Jiang Ranran didn't dare to confront them, fearing that the child and Grandma Zhang would be in danger when she was not around, but now it was different.
"I've been living here for almost half a month, and I haven't said hello to you yet. My name is Jiang Ranran."
"Everyone usually cares about me, and I am very touched. Today I want to return the favor and show my care for everyone."
