Chapter 65: Envy and jealousy drive me crazy

So much meat, so much meat was given away for free to these people in the village.

On what basis? On what basis?

You can't write two Jiang characters with one stroke. The first and second branches of the Jiang family are clearly one family.

How come when Jiang Mingyue got married, Gu Dongqing invited everyone in the village to a buffet, but left out their second branch?

If this isn't looking down on people, what is this?

Zhao Meihua clenched her teeth so tightly that she didn't even notice the corn stalk in her hand was broken.

The laughter and joy in the yard sounded particularly harsh to Zhao Meihua's ears.

She stayed there for a while, but she couldn't bring herself to go in, so she could only leave in shame.

However, she will definitely come to the main banquet tomorrow.

The old house of the Jiang family.

Jiang Congwen sat on a low chair, holding a hookah in one hand and stuffing cigarettes into it with the other.

With his mouth tilted, he smoked a cigarette with a puff of sound.

Jiang Dalang and Hu Xingzi had not returned from the town yet, so Jiang Erlang was sleeping in the house.

Since Lin Sanhua jumped into the river with her two children, it is hard to say what has changed in the second branch of the Jiang family, but in fact, they have indeed changed.

Hu Xingzi is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and Jiang Erlang is no longer as obedient to his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law as before.

In fact, he often looked at Myolie Wu with that sinister look.

Being suddenly stared at by that gaze, Myolie Wu felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

To the extent that now Myolie Wu is afraid to be alone with Jiang Erlang.

Fortunately, Jiang Erlang spends most of his time sleeping alone in his room. Except for eating, he almost never leaves the room.

Just like now.

Jiang Congwen was the only one in the yard, puffing on his water pipe.

Zhao Meihua walked in from outside and saw Jiang Congwen still squatting there smoking. She was furious.

However, some time ago, because of some of her reasons, the family lost three hundred yuan to the Lin family, so Zhao Meihua could not hold her head high at home for a while.

Even if she was dissatisfied with Jiang Congwen, she didn't dare to say anything. In fact, she still needed Jiang Congwen to take her to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

"Boss, guess where I was just now?"

Zhao Meihua said as she walked towards Jiang Congwen.

Jiang Congwen's eyelids twitched, and he glanced lazily at Zhao Meihua, who was pretending to be mysterious, and said in his usual impatient tone, "Where else can you go except to the big house?"

"Yes, I went to the big room. Guess what I saw?"

Zhao Meihua slapped her thigh with a loud slapping sound. "That's a table full of meat! Braised, boiled, boiled, fried, a whole table full of meat, white, fragrant pork!"

From Zhao Meihua's voice, besides the satisfaction, one can actually hear some regret?

What she said next confirmed why she felt it was a pity. "Otherwise, it's said that my elder brother and his wife passed away early, and the family can't do without someone to be the head of the family. This is just a second marriage, couldn't he just sneak in and get married? Why did he have to make such a big fuss?"

"It's fine if we just ask them to eat, but it's stupid to give them so much meat. They won't be able to live well in the future, right? My parents won't be able to live well in the future, right?"

If one did not know the whole story, and just based on Zhao Meihua's subsequent words, one would probably misunderstand how filial she was to the two elders of the Jiang family.

But the truth is, Zhao Meihua didn't care about the life or death of the two elders of the Jiang family at all. She was just jealous, jealous to the point of going crazy.

Why should so much meat be given to those people in the village? Why not give it to their second wife?

When Zhao Meihua thought of this, she felt so angry that her teeth itched, and she felt that Jiang Mingyue and the others were so tactless.

"You are such a shallow-minded person, now you are thinking about other people's meat? I have told you not to be too ruthless, but you offended your parents. Now you want others to invite you to eat meat. What are you thinking?"

Jiang Congwen scolded Zhao Meihua.

Zhao Meihua muttered, "I only dared to do that with your permission, didn't I?"

"What did you say?"

Jiang Congwen's face, which was already as black as the bottom of a hot pot, suddenly became even darker, like the bottomless darkness before dawn.

"When did I ever ask you to be disobedient to my parents?"

Zhao Meihua was startled by the scolding and shrank back.

"Dalang's father..."

"I'm just speaking up for you!" Zhao Meihua rolled her eyes and found a very suitable excuse.

"My parents didn't call me, but I accepted it. After all, I am an outsider who married into the family, and they have never liked me. I don't blame them."

"But...but how can they not call you the head of the family? You are their biological son!"

"Not eating meat is a small matter, but being laughed at by the villagers is a big deal!"

Zhao Meihua spoke earnestly, and at this moment, she seemed to have transformed into a super virtuous and sensible daughter-in-law.

She is only concerned about her husband's face.

Jiang Congwen was already angry and felt ashamed.

Now, after being instigated by Zhao Meihua, he felt even more as if his face had been torn off by the old couple and rubbed under their feet.

Jiang Congwen raised his head and looked at Zhao Meihua beside him, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Hey, his father, then we must go." Zhao Meihua rolled her eyes and gave Jiang Congwen some advice.

"Your parents are old and confused. They have been deceived and don't acknowledge you as their son. As children, we cannot disown them."

"Since they can't bring themselves to reconcile with us, it's okay for us to take the initiative."

Although Zhao Meihua is short-sighted and doesn't have much brains at ordinary times, when she encounters something that is beneficial to her, her brain still works.

Jiang Congwen frowned and listened to Zhao Meihua's words without saying a word.

I don’t know whether he agrees or not?

Jiang Mingyue and Gu Dongqing held a banquet at their wedding, which not only caused a stir in the second branch of the Jiang family, but even Jiang Wanfang, who had been married for decades, felt a little unfair.

While cooking, she was thinking, should she shamelessly go back to her parents' home?

Jiang Wanfang is Jiang Congwen's biological sister.

Mr. Jiang and his wife had four children in their lifetime.

Two men and two women.

The eldest daughter, Jiang Wanyun, fell into the water and disappeared a few years ago and has never been found.

Below Jiang Wanyun are Jiang Mingyue’s father Jiang Congshu, second uncle Jiang Congwen, and aunt Jiang Wanfang.

After Jiang Congshu passed away, his second uncle and his younger aunt were worried that they would be dragged down by Jiang Mingyue's four sisters, so they severed ties with the two elders who insisted on raising them.

In recent years, Jiang Mingyue's family has lived a very hard life.

As their sons and daughters, Jiang Congwen and Jiang Wanfang, who lived in the same village, never offered to help from beginning to end.

No matter whether it is spring planting, autumn harvest, or the New Year or other festivals, they seem to have forgotten the existence of the two elders of the Jiang family.

But that was because they were poor back then, so the second house and Jiang Wanfang did this. Now, it is different.
