"You dare to call the police? You dare to hit my son?" As soon as Song Xia entered the door, she was greeted by an ashtray. She dodged it and, before Jiang Chuande could do anything else, picked up the ashtray and smashed it at him.
"Bang!" The ashtray grazed his face and smashed into the door behind him, instantly creating a dent in the fragile door of the rental apartment.
Jiang Chuande was terrified, his face turned pale, and he was stunned for a moment.
Song Xia sneered; so he was afraid of death too.
Upon hearing the sneer, Jiang Chuande's face slowly turned from red to pale. After the initial embarrassment and annoyance, he was overcome with immense rage.
He clenched his fist and swung it at Song Xia, who then kicked him in the knee, causing Jiang Chuande to instantly kneel down in front of Song Xia.
"Bang!" Jiang Chuande landed on both knees, feeling like his knees were about to be ruined.
"You bitch!"
"Say it again." Song Xia pinched his chin. "Don't think I won't fight back. From today onwards, remember this: I'm the one supporting this family. If you want to continue living here, you'd better behave yourself."
After a while, when Song Xia carried her daughter back to her room, Jiang Chuande shouted, "My son will be back soon. He won't let you get away with this. You just wait!"
Song Xia flung the door open: "Say that again?"
Seeing her clenched fist, Jiang Chuande swallowed hard, then avoided her gaze and slunk away.
In the room, Jiang Wenwen looked at Song Xia with admiration.
Song Xia squatted down and looked her in the eye: "See? You can't reason with someone like your grandfather. Only if you are strong enough will he not dare to bully you."
Jiang Wenwen nodded heavily: "Then why didn't you do it sooner, Mom?"
Song Xia paused for a moment: "That's because Mom used to try to reason with people first, thinking that we should be more tolerant as a family. But now Mom understands that there are some things that cannot be tolerated or compromised. Wenwen, you must remember this."
"Yeah, like if a boy in my class bullies me, I'll try to reason with him first, and if he doesn't listen, I can hit him, right?"
"That's right, which classmate bullied you?"
Jiang Wenwen said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll handle it myself."
"Don't want Mom to worry? Mom is different now than before."
"Mom, just teach me martial arts like yours, I want to solve this myself."
Seeing that her daughter insisted, Song Xia stopped trying to persuade her: "Alright then, but it will be very hard."
Jiang Wenwen clenched her fist, her eyes resolute: "I'm not afraid of hardship."
Song Xia naturally understood her daughter. Her daughter was very determined; otherwise, she wouldn't have endured that family for so long.
Wenwen is not actually her biological daughter, but the biological daughter of the wealthy Cheng family. Because the Cheng family had made too many enemies, someone switched their daughters when Mrs. Cheng was giving birth.
She kept this a secret for over a decade until one day, by chance, her biological daughter, now the daughter of the Cheng family, discovered that she was not her biological daughter, and the truth finally came to light.
In fact, the Cheng family did not want to acknowledge her at first, because her biological daughter had been raised by the Cheng family to be a standard heiress, multi-talented, elegant, beautiful, and with a fiancé whose family background was even more powerful than the Cheng family.
In comparison, what about Wenwen? Because she grew up in a violent environment, even though she had excellent grades, she was somewhat gloomy, didn't like to talk, had a sallow complexion, and was unruly.
The Cheng family has always been concerned about their image, especially Mrs. Cheng, who has always regarded her adopted daughter as something to boast about. If people knew that her biological daughter was like this, wouldn't she be laughed to death?
So in the end, although Wenwen was brought back to the Cheng family, she was not a biological daughter of the Cheng family, but an orphan girl they sponsored.
The reason Wenwen didn't resist was because she was critically ill at the time and needed the Cheng family's money to pay for her expensive medical bills. So no matter how much the Cheng family disliked her, Wenwen didn't say a word.
Even though Wenwen was so patient, that family still wouldn't let her go.
Just because the Cheng family's adopted daughter's fiancé took a liking to Wenwen, they felt that Wenwen was scheming and deliberately seducing them, and they disliked her even more. In order to teach Wenwen a lesson, they stopped paying their medical expenses without informing Wenwen, and did not let Wenwen see her one last time.
From then on, Wenwen completely turned evil. Wasn't she said to be a vixen? Wasn't she said to be ill-mannered? Well then she'd show everyone her vixenness, seducing that man, exposing her background to let others see what kind of people the Cheng family were, stealing the Cheng family's secrets, and ruining the Cheng family's business.
In the end, Wenwen naturally met a bad end, being humiliated and killed by thugs.
Even after she died, the Cheng family still considered her bad luck, cursing her for tarnishing their reputation, and wouldn't even collect her body.
In truth, Wenwen did nothing wrong. Her biggest mistake was going to the Cheng family and treating them as her lifeline.
"Never again," Song Xia took a deep breath. She would have a medical check-up every year and work hard to give Wenwen a happy and stable life, so she wouldn't have to put up with the Cheng family's attitude.
There wasn't much food at home, so Song Xia only cooked for herself and her daughter for dinner, ignoring Jiang Chuande. Jiang Chuande had just been beaten and didn't dare to cause trouble in front of her, so he slunk away to eat outside. But he wouldn't treat himself badly; he took the money he had taken from Song Xia and ordered two small dishes and a few drinks.
As for Jiang Hui, who is still hospitalized for observation, who cares about him?
Perhaps they were so hungry that Song Xia and her daughter finished eating and were packing up to go out and set up their stall when he called.
"Where's the food? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
"I forgot."
"You forgot?" Jiang Hui roared. "How dare you forget? I'm your man!"
It seemed that his voice was too loud and disturbing other patients, as complaints from patients' families and scolding from nurses could be heard on the other end of the phone.
"There's food in the hospital cafeteria. You're not incapacitated, can't you go eat by yourself?" Song Xia said, then hung up the phone and turned it off.
Jiang Hui stared at the phone in disbelief, his head throbbing with anger. How dare this woman hang up on him?
When I dialed again, the phone was switched off, which made me even angrier.
So he called his dad instead: "Dad, where is that bitch Song Xia? She actually dared to hang up on me! I'm starving to death in the hospital, and she hasn't even brought me food!"
Jiang Chuande looked at the two delicious dishes in front of him without saying a word, but added fuel to the fire, saying, "I've also discovered that she's something else. You don't know because you're in the hospital, but when she came home she actually dared to hit me with an ashtray. She only cooks for her and her daughter for dinner, so I don't even get to eat at home."
"What?" Jiang Hui exclaimed in disbelief. "How dare she do that?"
"Who knows what she's thinking, son? Why don't you order some takeout yourself? We'll teach her a lesson after she's discharged from the hospital."
"That's necessary. That little bitch doesn't dare to listen to me. I'll beat him to death."
Jiang Chuande didn't react much when his son called him "father" in front of him. He was only focused on the glass of wine in front of him. After hurriedly saying a few more sarcastic remarks, he hung up the phone. Jiang Hui had no choice but to order food himself, but he had never done this before. By the time he received the food, he was starving.
