When Old Lady Jiang heard Jiang Xia's cold words, she took out the jade pendant again, her face turned ugly, she was flustered, and her eyes were filled with guilt. She leaned back without paying attention to whether she was sitting in the right position, and she lost her strength and fell to the ground with a thump.
"Of course I picked it up!" Old Mrs. Jiang was flustered, but she still spoke stubbornly, pretending not to know what Jiang Xia was talking about.
"I can give birth to a son. At that time, everyone was hungry, so I stole other people's children just to give my family an extra mouth to feed. Am I... am I too bored? Or am I mentally ill?" Old Mrs. Jiang continued. Her words were still very tough, but there was a sense of guilt in her toughness.
Old Mrs. Jiang thought that Jiang Xia might have taken out the jade pendant just to bluff and scare her.
It has been several decades, how could it be such a coincidence that Jiang Xia saw it right after he took the jade pendant?
When the neighbors heard what Old Lady Jiang said, they felt that it was true. At that time, everyone didn't have enough food to eat. Who would pick up other people's children to feed their own family? If this is still possible now, it is impossible in the past.
"Xia Xia, are you mistaken? You are young and you can't know what happened in your grandmother's generation." A neighbor stepped forward and spoke.
Jiang Xia was listening to what the neighbors in the yard were saying and was about to continue talking.
At this time, Jiang Weijia, who was sitting next to the table in the yard, stood up with a bang. The noise was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention and gaze of the people around him. They were all wondering what Jiang Weijia was going to do.
"Mom!" Jiang Weijia walked up to Old Lady Jiang and called her, his brows tightly furrowed, his voice filled with complex emotions.
"Wei Jia, don't believe Xia Xia. No matter what, I am your mother. I have raised you for so many years. I... I can't hurt you." Old Mrs. Jiang listened to Jiang Weijia's voice, spoke, and grabbed Jiang Weijia's hand.
"Don't lie to me anymore." Jiang Weijia looked at Old Lady Jiang's kind expression and the way she was holding his hand, then he slapped her hand away and closed his eyes, which were full of pain, not caring that the neighbors were here to laugh at him.
If what we said today were to be told to others, what impact would it have on Old Lady Jiang?
He only knew that he had a feeling of anger stuck in his chest and he had to let it out.
"How long are you going to keep lying to me? From childhood to adulthood, everyone has told me that you are biased, that you don't like me, and that you have been sucking my blood. I don't believe it. I think you are my mother. You gave birth to me and raised me. How could you harm me?" Jiang Weijia said.
"You said I had to take care of my younger brother. I'm the eldest brother, so I'm obedient. When Wei'an was a child, I cooked for him. I gave Wei'an everything he ate and drank. If he didn't want to work, I would do it. I taught him to read and took him to school. If he couldn't move, I would carry him on my back."
"When you are sick, I will be by your side to take care of you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will serve you and take all the responsibilities. I feel that I am the boss of the family and I have to shoulder the responsibilities."
