Volume 1 Chapter 267: Family Secrets
Chen Lina said accusingly, "Brother, during the famine, mom worked so hard to raise you two brothers. She left all the delicious food for you and ate only wild vegetables and grass roots. Mom had a very hard life. Now that she is old, we should let her live a good life. You shouldn't tolerate your wife and children being so disrespectful to mom. What's the point of you making so much money? You have no status in the family at all."
Jiang Zhengguo said coldly: "I make so much money, how can it be useless? If the money I make is useless, you two would not have worked for decades and would have been enjoying your life at home."
Over the past 20 to 30 years, Jiang Zhengguo has sent money back to his hometown every month. Since Jiang Zhengguo became wealthy, his brother and Chen Lina have never worked outside, and they have been spending their days eating, drinking, playing, and gambling with the money Jiang Zhengguo gave them.
Those who had no money would say that the old lady was sick and ask Jiang Zhengguo for money. Over the past twenty or thirty years, the couple had lived a very comfortable life.
Now Chen Lina's husband did not come with her because he was too comfortable gambling in his hometown and was unwilling to come up.
Chen Lina pretended to be wronged and said, "Brother, look at what you said. Aren't we two not working outside just to take care of the old lady?
When the old lady was young, she took care of you two brothers, but you two got sick and have headaches and fevers all day long.
This is not good, that is not good, it is all taken care of by the two of us. We provide the manpower and you provide the money, isn't this natural? Besides, you are so rich, the little money you contribute is not much more than what you dropped on the ground. "
The old lady said with a droopy face: "Jiang Zhengguo, Chen Lina is right. In the past 20 to 30 years in my hometown, it was your brother and she who took care of me.
You are so rich, so what's wrong with giving some money? Among your relatives, everyone says that your brother and his wife are filial, but who says that your wife is filial?"
Jiang Zhengguo said unconvincedly: "Mom, when Huirong first got married, she treated you like her own mother, cooking all the meals for you and almost feeding you.
She would buy you new clothes every time the season changed. If you felt unwell, she would take you to the doctor immediately and take care of you. How could she be unfilial? "
The old lady said with disdain, "What about the past twenty or thirty years? You only came back during the holidays, and every time you came back you put on a show for me, and you were so arrogant!"
"Mom, it's because you left Huirong without even seeing her when she gave birth to a daughter in the hospital. You didn't even cook for her during her confinement. She washed clothes for the child in the middle of winter, and her hands got injured. Mom, you went too far, and that's why she became like this."
When Jiang Zhengguo and Yang Huirong got married, they didn't even have a wedding room, but she didn't think anything of it at that time. She just felt that Jiang Zhengguo was poor, so he had to help out and save money when he could.
But the grand ceremony at Jiang Zhengguo's brother's wedding made her realize that she was wrong. It turned out that their family was not as poor as she imagined, and they were just being perfunctory to her.
Then she gave birth to a daughter, but the old lady didn't like her and made her do the laundry, cooking and taking care of the child during the confinement period. Later, she had an illegitimate child, and she was forced to divorce and let Jiang Zhengguo marry his ex-girlfriend. All these things together wore away Yang Huirong's desire to be a good daughter-in-law. She has been at odds with the old lady for decades.
The old lady said unconvincedly, "Hey, look at what you mean. I have to serve her just because she gave birth to a daughter? I have done a good job by not letting her throw her daughter into the mountain temple. She has no shame in giving birth to a daughter, and she is acting as if others have wronged her."
The old lady looked disdainful. Chen Lina said, "Mom, times have changed after all. People in the past would not have dared to disrespect their mothers-in-law. Now that they have daughters, no one feels ashamed. And they say that old ladies like you should keep quiet, otherwise people will dislike you and cut off our money. You, an old lady, are even more pitiful."
After hearing this, the old lady stomped her cane in anger.
"Will she dare?"
Chen Lina said in a gloomy tone, "Mom, they are rich ladies and we are poor relatives, living under someone else's roof. You have to recognize your own status and don't say things you shouldn't. If they are unhappy and chase us away, we will be the ones to lose face."
Jiang Di also said, "Grandma, I know the Jiang Group is so big, there might not be only one security job for me, but I know my cousin is the eldest daughter, I can't make her unhappy, so I took this job. Grandma, a harmonious family brings prosperity, don't be angry."
The old lady pointed at Jiang Zhengguo angrily and said, "Look at how broad-minded Jiang Di is. She is much better than those petty-minded women. Since you don't have a son, your nephew is your son. Jiang Di will inherit the Jiang Group and the Jiang family business in the future."
Jiang Zhengguo's head hurt after hearing what he said.
He said helplessly: "I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Besides, I don't have no son. Jiang Che is my son."
Ever since the old lady and Chen Lina came, the house has been in chaos.
Jiang Zhengguo subconsciously said that Jiang Che was his son, and he also wanted to make them understand that they should stop making trouble. He also knew what they were thinking.
"I know Jiang Che is your son, but isn't he an illegitimate child? Your wife and children don't like him, and now you've kicked him out. If you want to kick him out, then just kick him out. Anyway, our Jiang family still has a legitimate grandson."
At this time, a driver came over.
"Boss Jiang, tell them to send the old ladies back."
The old lady was furious when she heard this.
"Jiang Zhengguo, did you hear that? Your daughter actually dared to chase me away."
The driver said, "Mr. Jiang said that there will be many reporters coming here soon. The old lady is making such a fuss, and I'm afraid she will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
Jiang Zhengguo: "Mom, you guys should go back first. Jiang Di, Chen Lina, you guys should go back too."
The old lady and Chen Lina were driven away before they even entered the building.
The old lady and Chen Lina were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, and kept cursing Jiang Qiansui and Yang Huirong on the way back.
…
Jiang Qiansui walked into the company she founded. The company had good lighting and felt like a bright avenue. The employees surrounded her.
"Mr. Jiang, the facilities here are really great. There's even a gym and a cafe."
"Let's all work hard here and work towards our future together."
Very good.
The atmosphere is very harmonious. Jiang Qiansui wants to lead them to a bright future.
