Volume 1, Chapter 128: Feeling of Powerlessness
Jiang Qiansui and his family returned to the Jiang family villa, but found Jiang Che standing at the door.
Jiang Qiansui quickly ran up to him and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
Seeing Jiang Qiansui, Jiang Che smiled dotingly and said, "No need. I have already left this house and it is not appropriate for me to step into it again. Today is my aunt's birthday, I just want to say happy birthday to her in person."
Jiang Zhengguo's eyes were filled with relief, but Yang Huirong rushed forward and said contemptuously: "Who needs the blessing of an illegitimate child like you? Do you know? Because of you, I have been ridiculed so much. I don't know how happy I am without you. Why do you still appear in this family?"
Jiang Qiansui said in embarrassment: "Mom, can you please not treat my brother like this?"
Yang Huirong glared at Jiang Qiansui angrily and said, "Shut up! Why do you call him brother? Others laugh at me for not having a son. Are you also laughing at me?"
Yang Huirong's words made Jiang Qiansui silent for a moment. She didn't say anything, fearing to upset her mother.
Jiang Che said with dark eyes: "I'm sorry. Auntie, please don't blame Sui Sui. I'm leaving now. This is my birthday present for you."
Jiang Che handed over the gift box, but Yang Huirong knocked it over and roared, "Get out of here! I don't need your crappy gift at all."
The box was knocked over and a box of black pills fell out.
Jiang Qiansui wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Jiang Che.
Jiang Che said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's my fault."
Jiang Che smiled gently and said to Yang Huirong, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Che left after he finished speaking. Jiang Qiansui wanted to chase him, but was afraid of upsetting her mother, so she did not chase him and could only silently pick up the medicine box on the ground.
"Mom, don't get angry all the time if your blood pressure is high. It's bad for your health."
"He knew I had high blood pressure but he still tried to provoke me. He did it on purpose. He just wanted to piss me off to death on my birthday."
Jiang Zhengguo said angrily: "Isn't he gone? Don't be angry anymore."
"You are still speaking for him. Yes, he is your precious son. You are counting on him to carry on your family line."
"How can you be so unreasonable? If I had this idea, I would have asked you to have a second child when I was young. But when you gave birth to Sui Sui, you had amniotic fluid embolism. You saved your life from the gates of hell. Your ancestors in the underworld had their heads broken to save your life. How could I bear to let you have a child? You are too much to say this now.
Yang Huirong had amniotic fluid embolism when she gave birth to Jiang Qiansui, and she managed to save her life with great difficulty. So she did not continue to have children after giving birth to Jiang Qiansui. At that time, she felt that Jiang Zhengguo was very considerate and was the best man in the world.
But he deceived her.
"Jiang Zhengguo, how dare you say that? At first, I thought you were sincere to me, and that you didn't favor boys over girls, or have the old-fashioned idea of continuing the family line. So when you said you wanted to adopt a child to keep Su Su company, and that a child alone would be too lonely, I really thought you felt sorry for me, but who knew that it was actually the child you had with another wild woman? You were mocking me, you know? I still think I'm ridiculous."
"I was wrong to hide it from you. I thought that if I kept this secret, our family would be peaceful and you wouldn't be unhappy."
"You wanted this family to be peaceful and quiet, so why did you take him from the orphanage?"
"I didn't even know he existed at first. It was his mother who contacted me and told me that I had a son in an orphanage. If I didn't want him, I could just let him fend for himself in the orphanage."
"His mother, your old lover, are you still in touch now?"
"Yang Huirong, you are going too far. Don't you know how I feel about you since we got married?"
Yang Huirong smiled disdainfully and said aggressively: "I only know that you deceived me and treated me like a fool!"
Jiang Qiansui was helpless after hearing her parents' quarrel. Some knots in her heart are not so easy to untie.
"Mom and Dad, stop arguing. I just checked the gift. It's Ginseng Deer and Niuhuangdan, and it was produced in 1985. It contains precious rhino horns. Rhinos are now listed as first-class protected animals in the country, so they can't be used as medicine. Mom, you have high blood pressure and heart disease. This medicine can save your life at a critical moment. It can be seen that my brother is really thoughtful."
"He is so hypocritical, and he wants to enter the Jiang family again with a box of broken medicine. He is dreaming. I will not let him do what he wants."
Jiang Qiansui was sad but not surprised by her mother’s reaction.
"Mom, my brother is gone. Please keep the medicine. This medicine is really rare and can save lives at critical moments. You must keep it well."
In the previous life, when my mother heard that my father had committed suicide, if there was such a medicine, my mother would not have been paralyzed for half her life. In the previous life, my brother said that if he had found this medicine at that time, he would not have suffered.
Somehow, my brother found the medicine and gave it to my mother.
Yang Huirong still looked unhappy, so Jiang Qiansui had no choice but to hand the medicine to her father, and then told her father to keep it away.
"Mom, today is your birthday. We all hope you are happy. Don't be unhappy for any reason. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Qiansui suddenly felt very powerless, because she could understand her mother's pain, but she also felt her brother's pain, but she had no way to untie the knot between their hearts.
In the previous life, it was after her mother suffered a stroke that her brother took care of her meticulously, which finally helped her mother to untie the knot in her heart. In this life, for no reason, how could her mother accept an illegitimate child whom she hated? It was also cruel to her mother, and she felt full of guilt towards her brother.
At this moment, she felt the most powerless feeling since her rebirth.
Jiang Zhengguo frowned and said, "I told you to stop arguing, but you insisted on doing so. Look at the expression on Sui Sui's face when she just left. You've never seen her face look so sad before."
Yang Huirong said nothing, as she had never seen her daughter so sad.
"It's all because of you, because of that illegitimate child! I tell you, don't let this illegitimate child get within a hundred meters of me."
After Yang Huirong finished speaking, she knocked the medicine box out of Jiang Zhengguo's hand with one hand.
"What kind of rubbish is this? You're sending me medicine on my birthday. Are you trying to curse me to death?"
Yang Huirong angrily knocked over the medicine box and even stepped on the medicine scattered on the ground.
Jiang Qiansui, who was in the driver's seat, saw this scene. She felt pain in her heart when she saw her brother caring about their mother and being stepped on by her mother.
How could she make her mother understand that her brother truly regarded her as his own biological mother?
The son-in-law whom she regarded as an honor was the culprit who caused their family to be broken up last time.
Jiang Qiansui's eyes became darker.
