Chapter 331 Contradiction



After attending my sister's wedding, the relatives who were too busy to go home hurriedly the next day, while my aunt and cousin-in-law who had nothing to do went to the imperial capital with the Jiang family's large group.

This was a plan that had been planned long ago. The purpose was to take my grandmother and my great-grandmother, two elderly people who had never seen the world, to tour the imperial capital, so that after they returned from their lifetime of hard work, they could brag to other old men and women of the same age.

Thus, a noble Rolls-Royce led the way, followed by a luxurious RV, and they drove towards the imperial capital one after the other.

Along the way, the two old men never stopped smiling and seemed to talk a lot.

For their generation, being able to go to the imperial capital to pay their respects to the remains of a great man is a hundred times better than going anywhere else.

Just when Jiang Feng and his party arrived at the imperial capital, in a residential area in Siming Prefecture, Fujian Province, Su Donghe looked at his parents arguing fiercely, feeling helpless.

To be honest, his parents' relationship was actually pretty good, but they would quarrel from time to time, and the reason for the quarrels was most likely due to his grandfather.

When talking about his grandfather, Su Donghe felt very complicated.

His grandfather is a retired teacher and a loving person. He has been silently supporting poor students since the 1990s and has persisted for two or three decades.

Doing good deeds is something that is worthy of praise, but my grandfather's good deeds gradually aroused the disgust of his family. Because my grandfather did not do good deeds within his ability, but often ignored his own situation and focused on helping others.

Even though his family has no food to eat, his grandfather still wants to help others. Who wouldn’t be angry if they had a husband like this?

So, grandma quarreled with grandpa more than once.

After each quarrel, Grandpa would calm down a bit, but he would often relapse soon after, which always made Grandma's blood pressure soar. The most outrageous incident was when the mother of a poor student Grandpa sponsored fell seriously ill, and Grandpa secretly donated the private money that Grandma had saved for decades to the family for treatment.

When my grandmother found out about this, she was so angry that she collapsed to the ground and died with hatred in her heart.

I originally thought that grandma's death might make grandpa "wake up", but grandpa became even worse and his charity work became "obsessed". Not only did he spend all his retirement salary on it, he also went out to pick up scraps and sell them to support those poor students.

As the number of poor students sponsored increased, my grandfather's pension and the money he earned from picking up trash could not fill the bottomless pit, so he had to borrow money from friends.

At the beginning, as long as my grandfather asked, his friends would lend him tens of thousands of dollars.

But as he borrowed money more and more, gradually no one was willing to lend him money anymore.

So, three years ago, grandpa sold his house.

Really, Su Donghe sometimes wondered if his grandfather was the reincarnation of a saint?

"Su Laifu, I'm telling you this today. I absolutely cannot take care of your father, and I won't allow him to live in our house. If you let him live in, I will move out. This family can only have him but not me."

Su's mother pointed at Su's father and yelled, "Su Laifu, ask yourself, since I married into your Su family, has your father ever given us any help? When we were in financial difficulty, did he ever help us buy a bag of rice or a barrel of oil?

When we needed money to buy a house, did he ever help us with anything? Did he ever pay for Donghe's tuition from kindergarten to college? Did he ever give Donghe even a dime for living expenses?

If he doesn't have the ability, then I won't say anything. The key point is that he has the ability, but he has always only helped outsiders and not his own family. Now he has had a stroke and can't take care of himself. He wants me to serve him, but it's impossible.

He has been treating others better than his own sons and grandchildren over the years, so let others take care of him and don't get in my way."

Su's mother's words were so harsh that Su's father couldn't even raise his head.

To be honest, over the years, especially after his mother was angered to death, Su's father was full of resentment towards his father. But after all, he was the father who gave birth to and raised him. Now that he had a stroke and lost the ability to take care of himself, as a son, could he really watch him die?

Father Su sighed and said with a sad face, "Ah Zhen, I know you have hatred in your heart. I have hatred in my heart as well. But even if I hate him, he has become like this now. Do I really want to watch him die? If I do that, people will stab me in the back."

Mother Su sneered, "Being stabbed in the back? Do you think this is ancient times? After marrying into your Su family, no matter how my parents-in-law treat me, I will take care of them until the end of their lives and be filial to them for the rest of my life?

Stop dreaming. People are all made of flesh and blood. If I had married into your Su family and your father had given me a little help, I would not have been so resentful towards him.

I didn't stop you from paying for his medical treatment before, which was already fair to him, but you can never live in this house.

I still say that, this family can either have me or him, or it can have him or me, you decide for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Su's face was filled with helplessness. He could only look at his son who had been sitting next to him in silence, hoping that his son could persuade his mother to see if there was any room for maneuver.

Su Donghe saw the look in his father's eyes and quickly shook his head and said, "Dad, I won't get involved in your affairs."

Su's mother said coldly, "Su Laifu, don't expect your son to help you. It's useless for anyone to persuade you today."

Father Su stopped talking. His wife was angry now, and continuing would only have a counterproductive effect. It would be better to wait until she calmed down and then find a chance to discuss it with her. Given his wife's tough-mouthed but soft-hearted personality, perhaps things could turn around.

Anyway, my father will need to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so there is no rush.

Seeing that his parents had stopped arguing, Su Donghe slipped back to his room, playing with his mobile phone while thinking about how to resolve this family conflict.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

It was not until he saw a classmate mentioned the three words "Master Jiang" in the WeChat classmate group that Su Donghe's eyes lit up. He directly found the phone number of Jiang Feng, his college classmate, and called him.

Perhaps, only he, his powerful college classmate, has the ability to help resolve this kind of family conflict.

As soon as the call was connected, the laughter of old classmate Jiang Feng came: "Old classmate, you are such a rare guest. It has been more than a year since graduation, and this is the first time you have called me!"

Su Donghe smiled and said, "I can't help it. You, 'Master Jiang', have been so successful since graduation that I feel embarrassed to call you for fear of wasting your precious time."

Jiang Feng smiled modestly and said, "It's an exaggeration to say that I'm soaring to the sky. I'm just trying to make a living. If you have something to say, just tell me. I will never refuse to help you if I can."

"That's great. I'll be frank with you. You're the only one who can help me with this."

Su Donghe then described the situation of his family in detail, and finally said: "In fact, my parents, including my grandmother who was so angry, supported my grandfather's charity at the beginning. Unfortunately, my grandfather was too self-centered in his charity, which eventually aroused the disgust of the family.

My grandfather not only refused to listen to advice, but also went even further. He even sold his own house for charity. To be honest, not many people can accept his behavior of only caring about others and not his own family.

So, I actually understand my mother.

But then again, my grandfather is now paralyzed from a stroke and unable to take care of himself. As his grandson, I cannot just watch him die.

I have to take care of my grandpa, but I can't think of a way to have the best of both worlds. That's why I called you to see if you, the famous Master Jiang, can solve this problem?"
