Chapter 2 Diary Slap
"Jiang Cheng, I think you are ungrateful! If our Lin family hadn't taken you in, you would have died out there!"
Lin Jiaojiao suddenly stood up and shouted arrogantly, "You have been eating and living with us for three years, doesn't it cost you money?"
"Our Lin family has never wronged you, and my brother has never liked you. My mother and grandmother are kind and want to help you, but you still don't know what's good for you!"
Mother Lin pulled Lin Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, stop talking. We are all family, don't hurt the harmony."
Lin Jiaojiao shook off her mother's hand and said, "Mom, you are just too kind-hearted. Why don't you say anything? Our Lin family is not wrong!"
"Yes, I've been eating and drinking for free at the Lin family for three years."
"You're stupid, you can't eat anything with 600 yuan!"
"Money doesn't necessarily buy food."
"Yes, food is so precious!"
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with pride. Just because Jiang Cheng looked so stupid, she could just pin her down with one finger.
Jiang Cheng was hit by Lin Jiaojiao's words, his shoulders trembled, he couldn't accept it and asked with all his strength:
"The Lin family took me in?"
"Lin Jiaojiao, your Lin family married me in as Lin Chengyuan's wife, how come you're taking me in?"
"When Mrs. Lin was sick and Aunt Lin had a back injury and couldn't move, I had to take care of her shit and urine as soon as I walked in. You also took away my parents' death compensation."
"For three years, I ate leftovers and drank the water used to wash the pot. I couldn't even get a steamed bun for three days. Now you tell me that I spent 600 yuan on the leftovers and the water used to wash the pot?"
The fig leaf that the Lin family had been hiding was torn off by Jiang Cheng.
The neighbors in a yard were whispering to each other and looking at the Lin family with teasing eyes.
It was also Jiang Cheng's reminder that made everyone recall that it was the Lin family who was anxious to marry Jiang Cheng.
Now that I think about it, the Lin family really had a good plan.
He plotted against the orphan Jiang Cheng, and with the compensation money in his hand, he got her to marry him in the name of his fiancée and made her work for him for three years, and in the end he turned against her.
"Alright! Stop talking."
The head of the Lin family, Lin Dongsheng, Lin Chengyuan's father, stood up with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Cheng: Top-quality old white dregs! "Jiang Cheng, let's not talk about the past. The Lin family has protected you for three years. Otherwise, how would you, an orphan, survive?"
threaten!
A naked threat!
But Jiang Cheng just wouldn't buy it.
"Uncle Lin, you don't want to mention it because the Lin family took advantage of you. I can't do that. I'm poor! I want to mention the six hundred yuan. I want to mention it!"
"That's the money my parents paid for with their lives. Since ancient times, it has never been reasonable for the in-laws to take the daughter-in-law's dowry. Besides, you are not my in-laws."
"Or do you want to be my in-laws? Lin Chengyuan wants to marry two wives?"
Lin Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't just say that.
However, he glanced at Jiang Cheng secretly, and Jiang Cheng happened to be looking at him.
Lin Chengyuan misunderstood.
She was making a fuss because she didn't want to leave him.
It's really like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. Jiang Cheng looks so ugly, but she still wants to be his wife!
dream!
Jiang Cheng was indeed looking at Lin Chengyuan. She was seeing how shameless this man could be.
At the moment, it seems extremely so.
Jiang Cheng looked away and looked at He Dan who had been silent.
She is indeed not ugly, and is handsome, but her eyes are full of disdain and impatience, as well as an air of superiority as if she is confident of winning.
A third-rate person, and yet he's so arrogant! “Nonsense!”
"Shut up!"
Lin Chengyuan and Lin's father spoke at the same time. Lin Chengyuan didn't want to get entangled and looked at Lin's father with some impatience.
"Dad, give her the money back!"
Father Lin clenched his hands behind his back. Of course he didn't want to pay it back. Besides, the money had already been spent, so what could he use to pay it back?
His mind raced, and he said with a hurt look on his face, "Jiang Cheng, how could you do this? I think I treated you well, and what you said about washing the pot with water and steamed bread, isn't that just a lie with open eyes?"
When Lin's father started talking, Lin's mother immediately joined in.
"Yes, Chengcheng, you are tearing our hearts out. You are always the first one to come to our house for dinner."
"That's right! My mom treats you better than me, her own daughter. You can eat an egg every day, but I can't even eat the egg skin. How can you lie like this?"
"Alas! I, an old woman, never tell lies. Chengcheng, you can't do such a conscienceless thing!"
Several members of the Lin family said something, accusing Jiang Cheng of lying and slandering others.
The neighbors around were also a little shaken, as they didn't know what the family would eat after closing the store.
After all, the Lin family’s food has always been good.
This is exactly what the Lin family is planning. As long as they don’t admit it, how much credibility can Jiang Cheng’s words have?
"Okay! Jiang Cheng, you actually lied!"
Lin Chengyuan pointed at Jiang Cheng angrily, his eyes full of disappointment. There was also a hint of secret pride mixed in with the disappointment. She would really do anything to marry him.
Jiang Cheng took two steps back out of disgust, fearing that his IQ would be infected with Lin Chengyuan's stupidity.
Jiang Cheng sneered, this is what he's been waiting for!
She ran into the house and in the blink of an eye she brought out a stack of newspapers.
Lin’s mother: Where did this newspaper come from? "What is she doing?"
"Reading the newspaper?"
"You're not crazy, are you?"
Jiang Cheng ignored the gossip of others. She took out a newspaper and read aloud.
"February 17, Thursday, sunny."
"I got up at four in the morning. Mom said she wanted to eat fried dough sticks from the state-owned restaurant in the south of the city, and Jiaojiao wanted to drink soy milk from the north of the city, so I had to go buy them early."
"There are three mustard greens left today, which is good."
"They went to work, so grandma asked me to wash the quilt. My hands were cracked, so I was a little slow."
"Dad said that if you wipe the floor on your knees, it will be cleaner."
"I haven't eaten for a day. My family said there's not much food. I should feed them first."
"After preparing the water for everyone to wash their feet, grandma asked me to massage her shoulders and legs and wash her feet. Jiaojiao's underwear has not been washed yet——"
"Jiang Cheng!"
Lin Jiaojiao's face was filled with shame and anger. She snatched the newspaper from Jiang Cheng's hand and tore it into pieces.
Jiang Cheng slowly took out another copy and continued reading.
"March 18, Saturday, cloudy."
"After making breakfast, I waited for everyone to finish eating. There were some chicken bones left today. They were delicious and had a meaty taste."
"Jiaojiao took the money I used to make matchboxes again."
"Grandma said her legs hurt, so she asked me to clean her shit."
"Stop reading!"
Old Mrs. Lin banged her cane on the ground, and Father Lin rushed forward to grab the newspaper.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng immediately started to scatter flowers.
The flying newspapers were caught by neighbors, who couldn't wait to read them.
oops! This handwriting is like chicken feet!
"Everyone, take a look!"
“This is my life!”
Jiang Cheng straightened his hunched back for the first time and stood opposite the Lin family.
Her eyes were full of bitterness.
"This is my diary. I didn't have money to buy paper, so I wrote it with charcoal on waste newspaper."
"I can't read, so I just look at the dictionary and recognize the words one by one. My handwriting is ugly."
"I originally thought that I would learn to write letters, but in the end, I never used it."
Jiang Cheng lowered his head.
It’s not easy! Finally, there is a legitimate reason to learn to read.
Lin Chengyuan, who was standing by, suddenly felt uncomfortable for a moment.
Did she learn to read in order to write letters to him? She likes him so much? Lin Chengyuan looked at Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng was in the middle of an immersive performance and had no time to pay attention to him.
"Three years, I dare say that I, Jiang Cheng, don't owe your Lin family a single cent."
Jiang Cheng's thin back is fragile yet strong.
Damn, her wrists are almost broken from writing these diaries this month! How could she not be prepared when she knew the plot?
"Oh my god! This is not the style of an old landlord!"
"They really treat Jiang Cheng as their servant."
"I didn't expect that someone who looked like a decent person would do such a thing secretly."
The faces of the Lin family members were uglier than each other. The heartache that Lin Chengyuan had just felt for Jiang Cheng turned into anger in the blink of an eye.
"Jiang Cheng, that's enough!"
Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Chengyuan.
"Lin Chengyuan, there is no relationship between us. You are unworthy of barking without status!"
"And you, the Lin family, keep saying that you don't want to let me go and that you're doing this for my own good, but not only did you embezzle my compensation, you also slandered me!"
"You hypocrites are just afraid of losing a working person. All the calculations in the world are gathered in your Lin family."
"I, Jiang Cheng, would rather beg for food and starve to death than stay in the Lin family!"
For the first time, Jiang Cheng spoke harshly and reached out to Lin's mother.
“Pay back the money!!”
